Speaker 3: on the station. But it's Vikings Eagles Sunday and devn In.

25
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: My least favorite part of the day over the last

26
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 3: six seven weeks is whenever the injury report comes out.

27
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: I always dread looking at it. Even before the season started,

28
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: right we didn't have darrisaw CJ. Hamm was beat up

29
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: right out of the gate, and then from that point

30
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: on the offensive line, Ryan Kelly's been on there multiple

31
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: times with concussions, Brian O'Neill with the knee injury, Donovan

32
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: Jackson needing the wrist surgery after he'd just got done

33
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: playing a game, Aaron Jones out for a good chunk

34
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: of time, had to start the season without Jordan Addison

35
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: for three games because of suspension. That's only on the

36
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: offensive side of the ball. Defensive side of the ball.

37
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: Andrew ben Ginkels missed a couple of games, cash in

38
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: cash out, Blake Cashman has missed what four games? And

39
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: we finally got to the points this week where I

40
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: started to enjoy looking at the injury report again, Donovan

41
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: Jackson and looks like he's going to go. Brian O'Neil,

42
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: looks like he's going to go. Even Christian Darisa, who's

43
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: been playing. Apparently they talked it out. He's not going

44
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 3: to be on a pitch count this week, though he

45
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: did get the day off the other day. Cashman back

46
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: in the lineup, Bing Ginkle. Don't know about him, and

47
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: I guess we'll find out probably at some point to day.

48
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: But he's at least participating in practice on a limited basis.

49
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 4: And then.

50
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: We had to get our legs sweeped out from under

51
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: us yesterday, went out of nowhere. Didn't even see it,

52
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: didn't even see a reporter tweet at first. It just

53
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: popped up on the injury report. Jonathan Garnard limited with

54
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: a hamstring injury. Now, maybe it's nothing. Whenever I hear hamstring,

55
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm usually not encouraged. Hands are scary. Yeah,

56
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: those things can pop up and linger and come right

57
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: back at you. Also, this wasn't an injury that happened

58
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: at a previous game, where hey, he's working his way

59
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: through it. He wasn't even on the injury report Wednesday,

60
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, it pops up yesterday just

61
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: happens to be the same time. Alec Lewis of The

62
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: Athletic also tweeted. Jonathan Garnard has recorded an average time

63
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: to pressure of two point three four seconds this season,

64
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: the quickest mark among defensive linemen with at least fifteen

65
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: total pressures. Bernard has generated more pressures in under two

66
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: and a half seconds twelve than any other Vikings pass

67
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: rusher has total pressures. Opposing offenses have attempted to slow Gernard,

68
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: as he has been chip blocked seventeen times, while all

69
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 3: other Vikings pass rushers have been chipped twenty three combined times.

70
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 5: He is.

71
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can say we have an

72
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: MVP on the defense, but if it is, it's him,

73
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: right like I got. I don't know any other option.

74
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: There's no I guess vaning Goingko last year obviously had

75
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: some moments where he was very MVP like, But you're

76
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: kind of just solid every but not not elite star

77
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 3: power really on much of this defense. I guess if

78
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: you're all in on Isaiah Rodgers, I still think maybe

79
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: that was all just just one performance against Cincinnati. That's

80
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: really lifted them up. But Jonathan Garnard is the most

81
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: important piece of this defense. And now you're playing a

82
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: Philadelphia team that I think is going to rely on

83
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 3: the run much more than they are of the pass.

84
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: Maybe you can get away with it, but Devin, I'm

85
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: not so sure if And like I said, this might

86
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: be nothing. This might be a nothing burger. By the

87
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: time two hours from now and we see the injury

88
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 3: port come back out and it says Jonathan Garnard full

89
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: participant in practice, and then I just got myself teeth

90
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: chattering for no reason. Fine, but as of this very

91
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: moment at twelve ten pm, I'm a little concerned. After

92
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: I thought we had kind of gotten past all this

93
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: injury stuff.

94
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, this was kind of my fear the whole time

95
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 6: when we had all the injuries weeks ago, was once

96
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 6: we finally get everyone back, who's going to go down then?

97
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: Because it always feels like, how are you twenty three

98
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: and you already have that Minnesota sports mentality in you?

99
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 6: It's just ingrained in my Yeah, but you know it's

100
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 6: the NFL. People get hurt all the time. So I

101
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 6: suppose for like people, I'm going to call you a kid.

102
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 6: I shouldn't call you a kid. People that are your age.

103
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 6: You've experienced like nothing in Minnesota sports. At least, I

104
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 6: even though I didn't get to see the Vikings in

105
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 6: the super Bowl in the seventies, at least I got

106
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 6: to witness two World Series victories in eighty seven and

107
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 6: ninety one from the Twins, I've at least seen like

108
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 6: elite Minnesota Vikings teams, like the nineteen ninety eight Vikings

109
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 6: is probably the best team I've ever seen in the state,

110
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 6: even though they didn't even get to the Big Game.

111
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 6: I at least saw like a wild playoff run in

112
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 6: two those three You've like witnessed none of this. Now

113
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 6: we have pop up seasons at least five years with

114
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 6: at least the Wolves are starting to come around a

115
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 6: little bit before.

116
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: That's true. All right, We're gonna have to break a

117
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: little bit early because I want to get to Big

118
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: Bites next, because we have a lot of a lot

119
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: of stuff to talk about with only one segment really, uh,

120
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: kind of one open segment throughout the rest of the show.

121
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: So we're gonna do Big Bites next.

00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: last night Bengals versus Steelers. Bengals had the lead, then

133
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: a Rodgs took over.

134
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: Steelers need junk yardage second and twenty from their own

135
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: thirty two down six on the road on Thursday night,

136
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: two thirty one to go, fourth quarter, Rogers having a

137
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: gun four by two and two. He faints back near left,

138
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: Hash runs out of it hit he fires DA one out.

139
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 7: Can twenty five twenty Steelers the second of the nine

140
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 7: from Pat for he goes sixty eight. Your Bards got

141
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 7: to strike.

142
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Hey tison at.

143
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: Thirty and an extra point could have been a Steelers' lead.

144
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: Yes, the Steelers take over late, they take the lead,

145
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: but Joe Flacco leads the Bengals down the field and

146
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: it ends with this.

147
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: Thirty six yard field goal try for the lead eleven

148
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: seconds to go down one left to right kick for

149
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,240

Speaker 2: of the game and the lead snap spot right put

151

Speaker 2: the kickers in the air. He's got the lad He

152
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: drive it thirty three thirty one, Cincinnati's seven seconds remain.

153
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Before that play, t Higgins actually caught a pass

154
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: looked like he could have easily scored. He slides down

155
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: at about the five yard line. So they can take

156
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: a bunch of chunk off at the clock and the

157
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: Cincinnia Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers last night. They snapped

158
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 3: their four game losing streak. They win thirty three to

159
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 3: thirty one. Both quarterbacks in this one extremely good. Joe

160
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: Flacco thirty one of forty seven for three hundred and

161
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 3: forty two yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions. Jamar Chase at

162
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: a franchise record with sixteen catches for one hundred and

163
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 3: sixty one yards in a tuddy and then on the

164
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: other side, Aaron Rodgers twenty three of thirty four for

165
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty nine yards, four touchdowns, two interceptions.

166
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is about Aaron Rodgers this year.

167
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: And maybe this will change. I feel like I don't

168
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 3: dislike him as much this year as I have in

169
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: the past. Seems like he's happy. Yeah, Like, well, you know, obviously,

170
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: when he was with the Packers for so long, you

171
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: don't like him because he's the place for the Packers

172
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: and he was smug and he was arrogant and he

173
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: did the discount double check celebration, and you know, then

174
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: he went to New York and he still seems to

175
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: kind of be grumpy Aaron Rodgers and says some controversial things.

176
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: And now I just feel like, maybe now that he's

177
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 3: over the forty year mark, like he's just kind of

178
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: matured a little bit and he's smiling and happy. I'm like, now,

179
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: I wasn't cheering for him last night because I still

180
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: have that ingrained in me. But I'm like, I just wasn't.

181
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: I wasn't hate watching Aaron Rodgers as much as I

182
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: have in the past. So maybe he's evolving and turning

183
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: over a new leaf.

184
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 6: He might be say he's in the NFC RIGHTFC big bite.

185
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: He was in the FC last year as well. A

186
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: couple of Major League Baseball games. The Dodgers look like

187
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: they're about to go to the World Series.

188
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: That's a line round the center field. That's downfa Ba's head.

189
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 4: Here comes Smith fail. It's got a great ard. It's

190
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: cut off from the field, not in time. Tommy Emman

191
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 4: puts the Dodgers in front head that on the first pitch,

192
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: delivers of the clutch again and the Dodgers came to Messowski.

193
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: At the sixth heading. Yeah, Edmund with the RBI single

194
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: gives him the lead and then it's closed out by

195
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Cut it game.

196
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:48,359
Speaker 4: The Dodgers win it. Sasaki closes the door. Los Angeles

197
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 4: wins hid three to one. They are eight and one

198
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: in this postseason, steam rolling their way through this playoff run,

199
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: and they are a win away from their fifth in

200
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: Al pittitt in the last nine years.

201
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dodgers up three to nothing in this series, about

202
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 3: to sweep the Milwaukee Brewers. As you just heard on

203
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: the play by play called They're eight and one so

204
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: far in this postseason. In this series against Milwaukee, Brewers

205
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 3: have scored just three runs in twenty seven innings. Game

206
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: four is tonight in la versus Milliwaukee seven thirty start show.

207
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: Hey Otani on the Mountain Tonight for La and then

208
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: in the American League.

209
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 8: Therrero drives the ball the other way. Ken zones going back,

210
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 8: he's at the wall, that's gone. Glegg Junior strikes again

211
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 8: with his fifth home run of the postseason. Toronto takes

212
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 8: the run right back.

213
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mariners had loved this series. Two nothing. Blue Jays

214
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: have won the last two to even it up two

215
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: to two. That win last night, eight to two. He

216
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: just heard the highlight Vladimir Guerrero his fifth home run

217
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: of the postseason and kind of the story. Last name

218
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: was Max Scherzer. Another old guy, another guy who's Flacco

219
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 3: rodger Age. He had a tumultuous end to his season

220
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: where he because it was so bad he wasn't even

221
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: on the Alds roster for their first series. But then

222
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 3: he gets to start last night and gives up just

223
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: two runs on three hits over five and two thirds innings.

224
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: At one point the manager comes out looks like he's

225
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 3: gonna pull them, and he had the He basically had

226
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: his own Jack Morris moment of you are not taking

227
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: me out of this game, and he finished it off

228
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: with the strike out. So good for Max Scherzer. Yeah,

229
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 3: Toronto and Seattle that one's at five o'clock today at

230
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: the Pivotal at game five in the ALCS Big Bites.

231
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: The Gophers playing a little Friday night lights tonight. It's

232
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 3: under the lifes.

233
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 9: Boy, this is great, especially with NEA. We don't have

234
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 9: a lot of high school football in Minnesota today, so

235
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 9: crowd is going to be absolutely elite and just looking

236
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 9: forward to the opportunity to be hosting a top twenty

237
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 9: five team here ranked team, a really good Nebraska team

238
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 9: and a really good Goper team, so it should be

239
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 9: great matchup.

240
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and PJ talks about Matt Rule, the head coach

241
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: for Nebraska.

242
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 9: I think Matt Rule's done a really good job of

243
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 9: using the resources that Nebraska has and building the best

244
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 9: team he possibly could here in year three and you

245
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 9: can just see it progressing year one. Not much control

246
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 9: of that here, two, you're building it, and then year three,

247
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 9: I mean you look top to bottom. Their depth is

248
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 9: as good as anybody in the country and as good

249
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 9: as anybody we've played.

250
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk a little bit about this with

251
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: Justin Guard when he joins at two thirty today. But

252
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: I don't like how PJ likes Matt Rules so much

253
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: because I love the little rivalry of PJ. Fleck and

254
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: Scott Frost. When Frost was there, Frost just despise PJ.

255
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: Fleck would always make little snide comments about the way

256
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: PJ runs this program, and then the Gophers will just

257
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: go out and kick their butt every time. And I

258
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: miss that. Gophers, excuse me. The Cornhusters. By the way,

259
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: five and one in the season. The only loss is

260
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: just a three point loss to Michigan. They are up

261
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: to number twenty five in the Associated Press Pull after

262
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: two games in a row now where they've come up

263
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: big in the fourth quarter against Maryland and Michigan State.

264
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: And obviously their quarterback Riola, he's been the story. He's

265
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: completed seventy three point one percent of as passes for

266
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: ninety one yards, sixteen touchdowns and five interceptions. Gophers have

267
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: one five straight against Nebraska, six and one under PJ. Fleck.

268
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: This is a different Nebraska team, but hopefully some of

269
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: that will carry over tonight seven o'clock start tonight pregame

270
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: at five. That game will be heard right here on

271
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: the fans. You can just stick around all day. Big

272
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: bites Minnesota Wild or in the Nation's Capital to take

273
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: on the Capital six o'clock start tonight and John Hines.

274
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: Everyone's freaking out about their five on five play, but

275
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: not John Hines.

276
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 5: Things get magnified in the beginning of the season, right,

277
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 5: no matter what it is. I think when you look

278
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 5: at the you know, our game and the style of

279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 5: team that we have and the type of team that

280
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 5: we have, I feel like we're getting them. There's things

281
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 5: we can certainly improve upon, but I think we have.

282
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 5: We've had good puck pressure, We've had some good looks.

283
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 4: You know.

284
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 5: At this point, I think if we if we don't

285
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 5: focus on the end result of that and what is

286
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: our process and here's the good parts of it, here's

287
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 5: where we can be a little bit better, I think

288
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: it will come.

289
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: If you want to be concerned about five on five,

290
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: that's fine. As much as you're concerned about the five

291
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: on five, you should be elated with the power play

292
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: because as of right now, it looks like the greatest

293
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: power play we've seen in franchise history. Wild already are

294
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: almost a quarter of the way to their powerplay output

295
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: from last season. In four games, they're already a quarter

296
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: of the way. Last year, they scored forty three goals

297
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: in the power play. They already got ten. Through four games,

298
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 3: they're nine consecutive goals on the powerplay, one shy of

299
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: matching the two thousand and six two thousand and seven

300
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: Sharks for the second longest streak in NHL history, and

301
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: the nineteen eighty eight nineteen ninety nine Penguins hold the

302
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: record at twelve. So we got a chance to make

303
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: NHL history here. Let's go if we can score three,

304
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 3: so that means enough you shut down five on five,

305
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: but we just score more goals on the power play.

306
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: Tonight we'll break without a five on five goal, we'll

307
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: break the NHL record. John Hines also talks about a

308
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: guy running that power play. That would be the rookie

309
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: defenseman Ze Billiam It's one of his skill sets, you know.

310
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: I think that he's probably some of the playoff experience

311
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 5: last year helped him. And then I think coming in

312
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 5: even in preseason, I think he was trying to do

313
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 5: some things. Now I think he starts to realize how

314
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 5: quick your decision making needs to be and this fine

315
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 5: tune things of habits and details at this level that

316
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 5: he's learning, and he's learning quick.

317
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 3: Now when you combine that with his.

318
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 5: Natural ability to run a power play at his offensive instincts.

319
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 5: That's why I think it's progressing.

320
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: Love the way Zeve is progressing. You can see his

321
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: confidence growing every single game this season, and the Dallas

322
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 3: Stars game their last time out, I thought that was

323
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 3: the best he's played in a Wild uniform. And you

324
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 3: can just tell he's playing with aggression. He's jumping up

325
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: in the play, he's getting involved in the offensive zone,

326
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: but he's doing it with calm and confidence in himself

327
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: that he can make the right play. He's not scared

328
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 3: to make mistakes out there, and I think that's very

329
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 3: important for a rookie so early on in his career.

330
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: By the way, the Wild did send another defenseman, the

331
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: other young defenseman, David Yeerchik, down to the miners. I

332
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: have not been too excited about his play so far

333
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: in his limited action with the Wild, ever since they

334
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: acquired him for a lot of prospects, a lot of

335
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: draft picks early in last season. By the way, Philip

336
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: Gustafson will get the start tonight for the while that's

337
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: a six o'clock start, I'm going to assume, and I

338
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 3: probably shouldn't assume I'm going to assume maybe they're on

339
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: cool and wait, tonight, I'll have to look at the schedule.

340
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have done that. Last one. Big bites go

341
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: for basketball team. They beat North Dakota State by a

342
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: score of what was the score? Hold on, I'll get

343
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 3: it here. Eighty to fifty four exhibition last night they

344
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: beat North Dakota State, and Nico Medved was happy with

345
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: the with the initial start, felt good to.

346
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 10: Be back out there.

347
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 11: You know, this is this game.

348
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 10: Typically we've done close scrimmages in these situations. But I thought,

349
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 10: you know, before when we scheduled this, it'd be great.

350
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 10: First year we can play Division ones. Thought'd be great

351
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 10: for us to play a game against kind of a

352
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 10: regional school. I think it's got a great program. Get

353
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 10: tested right away, and you could tell there were some

354
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 10: nerves early. Thought our guys handled it really really well

355
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 10: and played hard and finally started getting some stops and

356
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 10: getting out in transition a little bit. So it kind

357
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 10: of feels good to get that first one under your

358
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 10: belt and ready to keep growing.

359
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: And it felt good for cad Tyson to the North

360
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 3: Carolina transfer twenty eight points last night. He was nine

361
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 3: to thirteen from the field, six of nine from three

362
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: point line. Also perfect from the free throw line, making

363
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: all four attempts, So a nice debut for the transfer

364
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 3: from North Carolina Kye Tyson. The Gophers began regular season

365
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 3: action on November three, when they host Gardner Web. That's

366
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 3: it for Big Bite. The analyst for the Vikings rate

367
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: and network, Pete Versus joins the fits next to Manday.

368
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,720

Speaker 3: So Pete joins us. Now, Hello, Peter, how are you

373
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: great to have you back on us soil.

374
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 11: It is good to be back, Tanna, thank you very much.

375
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 11: And yeah it's wide open spaces. It's very ramped over there,

376
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 11: but beautiful and old. But yeah, it's it's great to

377
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 11: be back.

378
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 3: What did you think about the trip? Was the was

379
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: two games back to back across the pond a little

380
00:20:59,200 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 3: too much?

381
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 11: No, I mean you'd like to think that it was,

382
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 11: but I mean, I I really, I really gotta give

383
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 11: a tip of the cap to guys like Paul Martin

384
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 11: and and their group, the logistics group, where I mean

385
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 11: literally they make it so easy that you just have

386
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 11: to know one time, you just need to know where

387
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 11: to be, uh and they do all the rest from

388
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 11: the passports to customs that, I mean, everything else, so

389
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 11: they make it as smooth as possible. And then I

390
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 11: mean just the logistics involved and everything. And that's been

391
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 11: kind of the value of the Vikings having gone over

392
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 11: there so many times. I mean, that was our fifth

393
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 11: trip to London, just we've you know, we've done it before.

394
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 11: And you know, the proof I think was that was

395
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 11: a factor. I think in that in that football game

396
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 11: against the Cleveland Browns at least that you know, having

397
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 11: been there the entire week and you know, being able

398
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 11: to put in a good week not losing anything because

399
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 11: the coaches are not in their offices. And I mean,

400
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 11: there's there's a reason that building in Egan is so

401
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 11: big because they need all that stuff and you can't

402
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 11: move all of it. But they still found a way

403
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 11: to get enough over there to make, you know, to

404
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 11: come up with the win. So I think it's it's

405
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 11: a big win and you know, you can't overlook operations

406
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 11: and everything else, the equipment staff and everybody else that

407
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 11: worked their tail off to make that happen.

408
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: I know our listeners are getting sick of the Wentz

409
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 3: McCarthy talk, but I'm going to ask it one more

410
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: time because I don't know if I've heard you talk

411
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 3: about it. If if you were the head coach in

412
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 3: the Minnesota while and this is this is a hypothetical,

413
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: if JJ McCarthy was one that's the hypothetical. If JJ

414
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 3: McCarthy was one hundred percent and you were the head

415
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 3: coach in Theissida Vikings, who would you start a quarterback

416
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: this week?

417
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean that's that's a tough one. I mean,

418
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 11: in my opinion right now, uh Arson Wentz is playing better.

419
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 11: I mean, and of the two and you. One thing

420
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 11: I did see in London against Cleveland is that he's

421
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 11: finally developing a rapport with Justin Jefferson. Right. He's finally

422
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 11: giving him some shots at the fifty to fifty ball.

423
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 11: He's finally hitting them with the back shoulder fade on

424
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 11: press coverage here and there. It's it's curious to see

425
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 11: if that continues to develop, if there's more to that

426
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 11: relationship that can be squeezed out of it, you know,

427
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 11: and then we talked about J. J. McCarthy. Obviously you're

428
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 11: talking about the future, and so I mean, these are

429
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 11: these are high level decisions that coach and the and

430
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 11: quasi del famensa need to make and say how long

431
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 11: until we turn everything over? I mean, obviously, this guy's

432
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 11: our future. That's why we drafted them at when you know,

433
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 11: when we did the top of the first round, they

434
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 11: knew that when they drafted him that someday it would

435
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 11: be his football team. And so the question is how

436
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 11: long do you want to delay that? How badly do

437
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 11: you want to win now? And that's I mean, if

438
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 11: you're if you're a coach, you want to win now

439
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 11: right you know, next year and the year after. You

440
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 11: don't have the time. You can't worry about that stuff

441
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 11: because it's not guaranteed. Nothing's guaranteed, just that you have

442
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 11: a game this Sunday and you want to you want

443
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 11: to win, You want to put out the best team

444
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 11: that you possibly can. And so it's that short term,

445
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 11: long term situation that you have to look at. And

446
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 11: right now, at three and two, you play the defending

447
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 11: Super Bowl champs. This Sunday. You want to put your

448
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 11: best foot forward now and leave it at that and

449
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 11: then let them make that decision from there which guy

450
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 11: is going to give them the best chance to win.

451
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: Now, you know you mentioned the rapport with Justin Jefferson.

452
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you to get a little more

453
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: specific on the JJ conversation because obviously his his numbers

454
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: the last two weeks when you went across the pond improved.

455
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: Against Pittsburgh he had ten catches for one hundred and

456
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 3: twenty six yards. Against Cleveland he had seven catches for

457
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty three yards. After you know, getting

458
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 3: off to a slow start from Justin Jefferson's standards through

459
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 3: the first three weeks. How much of those numbers are

460
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 3: rapport with Carson Wentz. How much of that is return

461
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: of Jordan Addison to maybe alleviate some pressure. How much

462
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 3: of that is just Pittsburgh and Cleveland's more likely to

463
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: play man to man than most teams.

464
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 11: I think it's it's all the above. I mean it.

465
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 11: You know, having Jordan Addison there helps you know the

466
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 11: aggressive coverage that you're going to get from those two teams.

467
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 11: That's going to help. I mean Philadelphia is a team

468
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 11: that plays a lot of a lot of man to

469
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 11: man and you know they've got some injury issues at

470
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 11: the cornerback position. So between Addison and Jefferson, somebody I

471
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 11: think should have a favorable matchup in that regard. But

472
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 11: it's just it's it's hard to it's hard to describe,

473
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 11: but you can see it, right, you just see the

474
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 11: confidence that Wentz has and the main the big one

475
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 11: that stands out in my mind is just the twenty

476
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 11: one yard back shoulder fade that he threw the Jefferson

477
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 11: in that fourth quarter drive when he went I believe

478
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 11: it was eight for eight, uh you know, with two

479
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 11: and two minutes and forty nine seconds for the touchdown

480
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 11: to Addison, So you know that he was getting rid

481
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 11: of the football quickly. He was nicked up. He wasn't

482
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 11: interested in running around and hold on in the football.

483
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 11: He had to get rid of it and he did

484
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 11: and you know he and JJ made a play. So

485
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 11: that's that's what I'm talking about, right, I mean, that's

486
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 11: you know, you look at a j. Brown and what

487
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 11: you know, what Jalen hurts, what they can do, It's

488
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 11: it's a pretty similar situation. I know, they're arguing about

489
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 11: getting him the football earlier.

490
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: And all that.

491
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 11: You know, it's it's the wide receiver drama that you

492
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 11: get everywhere that you know the number one receiver isn't

493
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 11: getting the ball enough. But that's why he's the number

494
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 11: one receiver. So it makes you laugh, makes you cry,

495
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 11: I guess, but just yeah, I just want to see

496
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 11: if that can continue and continue to grow. That's one

497
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 11: of the things I'm looking forward to seeing this Sunday.

498
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 3: So going into that Cleveland game, I had some huge

499
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: concerns about the offensive line where we were going to

500
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: be putting on the field against their defensive line, and

501
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: you had, you know, Blake Brandell playing center for the

502
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: first time in his career. Even throughout the game, Christian Darris,

503
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: you know, wasn't out there in key moments, key drives

504
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. You're dealing with guys like Joe

505
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 3: Hubert who was an undrafted free agent who has hasn't

506
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: played in the NFL. Are you, well, let me ask

507
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: you this way, did did koc scheme stuff up to

508
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 3: help that offensive line in that game? Or is that

509
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 3: just hey, guys that were younger guys that were backups

510
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 3: who just who elevated their play that day.

511
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, I did. I actually use some some game film

512
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 11: and did a video on it. It's on YouTube Buying

513
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 11: the Sky if you want to see it. But there

514
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 11: it's a it's a combo. It's kind of a combination

515
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 11: of everything, and to your points tend to be I was.

516
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 11: I was as worried as anybody. You're concerned about it

517
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 11: because the defensive front from Cleveland was really good. It's

518
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 11: one of the better defensive fronts in the league, and

519
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 11: now you're going up against three at least three, you know,

520
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 11: backups for lack of a better term, that we had

521
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 11: to put in up front, and I think for listeners

522
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 11: it kind of it points to one thing, the difference

523
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 11: between going into a game and having an entire week

524
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 11: knowing that you're not going to have Brian O'Neill, knowing

525
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 11: that you're not going to have you know, Donovan Jackson,

526
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 11: you know, and knowing that you're not going to have

527
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 11: Ryan Kelly. You can game plan around that, and I

528
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 11: think there was some of that that went on. I

529
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 11: think Will Fries picked up a lot of the slack.

530
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 11: He played very very well, ran some tracks, did some

531
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 11: different run game things, that we hadn't shown much hug

532
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 11: So in that regard, you do get you do get creative,

533
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 11: you know, they did. They struggle at times. Yeah, absolutely,

534
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 11: But Joe Huber came in. I thought, he's a big

535
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 11: he's a big guy. He's a big ten offensive lineman.

536
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

537
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 11: He knows how to block the run. That's what that's

538
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 11: what big ten you alignment can do better than probably

539
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 11: any other lineman in college football. Uh. And so each

540
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 11: one of those guys I think played to their strengths.

541
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 11: Like you look at Brandell. You know, Frank Ragnow was

542
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 11: highly drafted by the Lions. Did Okay at guard, they

543
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 11: move in the center and then the light comes on. So, yeah,

544
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 11: could this be the same thing for Brandell? Well, it's

545
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 11: more likely to happen to go from guard to center

546
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 11: than it is to have success, and it is to

547
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 11: go from guard to tackle. Okay. You know a lot

548
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 11: of guards, not a lot of guards that move to

549
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 11: tackle and have success. It's more likely to go the

550
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 11: other way. So I thought brand Dell played pretty well too.

551
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 11: So and we get by to the next couple of

552
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 11: weeks with this group, until everybody gets healthy and have

553
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 11: some success. I'm very encouraged by it.

554
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the defensive side of the ball.

555
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: Jonathan Garnard kind of popped up out of nowhere on

556
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: that injury part yesterday with a hamstring. He was limited

557
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: in practice. I'm guessing in the next couple of hours

558
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 3: we'll get more information on his availability for Sunday. But

559
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 3: is Jonathan Garnard the best player on this defense? And

560
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: if he can't go, what does that mean?

561
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 11: He's the most consistent, he's the most well rounded he can.

562
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 11: You know, his ability to play the run, I think

563
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 11: is very under aided. I know that the lot you know,

564
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 11: people are are concerned, and especially with the numbers that

565
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 11: we put up on the ground. I think it's a

566
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 11: factor of a couple of things. One of it's, you know,

567
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 11: not having been Ginkle out there, because Ben Ginkle's very

568
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 11: very good and technique wise and in the scheme against

569
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 11: the run. And then you know, you look at the

570
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 11: teams that we just got them playing between Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

571
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 11: I mean AFC North, they put extra they they they

572
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 11: sub linement in for tight ends. I mean, they run

573
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 11: the football in that division. But we haven't gone up

574
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 11: against our teams at like Philly are three wide and yeah,

575
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 11: they say they have safe Barkley, but you know, they

576
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 11: like they want to throw the football, and so the

577
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 11: challenge is going to evolve. My point is, I don't

578
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 11: think Philadelphia can mimic Cleveland or Pittsburgh's run game in

579
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 11: a week. They can't reinvent the wheel. They've got their

580
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 11: own problems of front that they're trying to deal with.

581
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 11: So it's going to be a different style of running game.

582
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 11: Hopefully it better suits what we have.

583
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 7: Uh.

584
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 11: But yeah, we need we need a Jonathan Grenard uh

585
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 11: as much. He's the most valuable guy I think on

586
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 11: the defense. What's put it that way?

587
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 3: What have you seen out of Philadelphia's offense that's different

588
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: from last year? They have a new play caller, but

589
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: you know, a guy who looked like the best player

590
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 3: in the National Football League last year has has dropped

591
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: two yards per carry? Uh? Is his running game declining?

592
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: Is it? Is it play calling? Is the offensive line

593
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: having issues?

594
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 5: What?

595
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 3: What do you what do you see is going wrong

596
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 3: with the Philadelphia offense?

597
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 11: Now? They you know, and and my Loto mentioned it

598
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 11: during the week. He's talking about focus and being prepared

599
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 11: and all that, and that's I think that's the biggest

600
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 11: thing is just that front. That that the five guys

601
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 11: that they've they have up front, they've got injuries, uh

602
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 11: at the center position, at the right guard position, with

603
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 11: some you know, some new bodies in there not handling

604
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 11: movement very well. They did a decent job in pass

605
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 11: pro at times against the Giants. You know, Hurts had

606
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 11: had there were a number of plays where he had

607
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 11: plenty of time. And then kind of being simplistic from

608
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 11: a formation standpoint, I mean, this is the most you know,

609
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 11: they don't suck offensively very much. You've got a three

610
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 11: wide offense pretty much the whole time, or you know,

611
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 11: most of the time except that they're doing the toush

612
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 11: push or whatever they do, and you know, in the

613
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 11: in the deep red zone. So it's kind of hard

614
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 11: to motion and shift and be misleading when you're not

615
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 11: you know, rolling in and out different types of personnel.

616
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 11: So I think it limits the creativity. But consistency is

617
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 11: probably the big thing. I mean, Saquon Barkley started the

618
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 11: game off against the Giants with the eighteen yard run.

619
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 11: He's still one of, if not the best backs in

620
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 11: the league, and that's the part that I wonder about

621
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 11: is whether Philadelphia is desperate enough to win to say,

622
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 11: you know what, if we have to hand it off

623
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 11: to Saquon Barkley thirty five times, we'll do that, right.

624
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 11: I mean, normally they're not going to They're going to

625
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 11: reduce his workload, keep them fresh for the run at

626
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 11: the end of the year. But if they don't start

627
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 11: using them now more, there may not be a run

628
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 11: at the end of the year. I mean, that's what

629
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 11: Philly fans are wonnering. Is this twenty twenty three or

630
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 11: twenty twenty four, because there was a bump. There were

631
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 11: bumps in the road both years. Twenty twenty three went

632
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 11: a lot further south. And yeah, I think Saquon Barkley

633
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 11: could be just what this team needs. It might be

634
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 11: their best defense, so to speak, going into this football game.

635
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 3: All right, So then let's let's say they want to

636
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 3: get the ball to Saquon Barkley on the ground. The

637
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 3: Vikings defense, if there's been some flaws this year, it's

638
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 3: been stif hopping the run. Uh Robinson tore him up

639
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 3: in Week two against Atlanta in Dublin. Kenneth Gainwell, they're

640
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: backup running back tore them apart. Quinchawn Judkins got his

641
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: for Cleveland last two weeks ago. What has been the

642
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 3: issue with the Vikings run defense and does having Cashman

643
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: back help that in any way, shape or form.

644
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 11: No question about that. I think not having Van Ginkle

645
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 11: for a lot of that matters. I think, you know,

646
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 11: with guys like Levi, Drake Rodriguez, Redmond, Jalen Redmond, you know,

647
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 11: they're young. These guys are still young, and a lot

648
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 11: of it's technique. I don't necessarily see it as a

649
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 11: schematic thing. You know, we we stopped we stopped the

650
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 11: running game with with Bullard Artillery last year, right, and

651
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 11: so it's not that we don't have the talent. Yeah,

652
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 11: I just think it's it's a it's a technique. A

653
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 11: lot of it's a technique issue. And yeah, I mean,

654
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 11: patients are running is running thin. We got to get better.

655
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 11: But at the same time, those younger players like Turner

656
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 11: and Redmond and Drake Rodriguez are learning, and they're learning

657
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 11: very quickly, and it's it's imperative that those guys promote,

658
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 11: you know, improve and even Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave,

659
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 11: these are just a new scheme for them as well.

660
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 11: But they all have to get better at the techniques

661
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 11: that Flores wants to wants to use. And you know,

662
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 11: we if we can slow down Saquon Barkley, that's a

663
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 11: huge improvement.

664
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: A couple more questions with Pete Bursach analysts for the Vikings,

665
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 3: right and nowhere he'll beyond Sunday at noon right here

666
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 3: on the fan pregame starts at ten o'clock with PTPA

667
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 3: and of course muss I wanted to ask you about

668
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 3: more about the the Eagles offense and even when they

669
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 3: were winning early on, it seemed like there was a

670
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 3: disconnect here with Aj Brown and the coaching staff. Kind

671
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 3: of seems like he was kind of having some Stefan

672
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 3: Diggs moments with some some some cryptic stuff and he

673
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: wasn't producing. Uh, what do you see in terms of

674
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 3: why there's been a disconnect with the passing game specifically

675
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 3: to AJ Brown.

676
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 11: I just they're not doing anything. You'll see this like

677
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 11: last night with Jamar Chase. Right, you see a lot

678
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 11: of short throws and different types of wide receiver screens

679
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 11: and things like that just to get them just to

680
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 11: get the football in his hands, right, I think we

681
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 11: saw that when we played Pittsburgh and Ireland. It was

682
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 11: just trying to get the football to JJ, get him

683
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 11: warmed up, get a you know, get him, get him going.

684
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 11: You don't want the first ball thrown his way to

685
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 11: be in a third quarter.

686
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

687
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 11: And they're just not creating touches for you know, for him,

688
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 11: for Brown, and I think that's frustrating Frohm. And so

689
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 11: the creativity side of it. They promoted from within, uh

690
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 11: for the offensive coordinator position. They can go on and

691
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 11: get some you know, hot shot coordinators somewhere else. Uh.

692
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 11: And so there are a lot of question marks that

693
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 11: and a lot of meetings too. That's another thing that

694
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 11: you hear. You know, the players had a player, you know,

695
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 11: play these separate meetings and discuss what's going on and

696
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 11: all that whatever whatever that is. But it's a concern.

697
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 11: And you know, he's twenty nine years old. They awe

698
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 11: him a lot of money. They need to get they

699
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 11: need to get him the football, I think a little

700
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 11: more often. And their passing game has been a little simplistic.

701
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 11: There's been a lot of stuff out about just not

702
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 11: a very complex passing game. And so it's you know,

703
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 11: it's just when when you the better, your players are

704
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 11: the center your playbook needs to be. So if you

705
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 11: have the lead, best running back and the league's best

706
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 11: offensive line, you're throwing at a J.

707
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 3: Brown.

708
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 11: You know you're throwing Brown. And you don't need to

709
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 11: be complicated, right, You don't need to be fancy. You

710
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 11: just go out there and do what you do and

711
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 11: you're going to be successful. Well, because of a lack

712
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 11: of execution and some other things, I think that they're

713
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 11: going to need to get a little bit more creative

714
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 11: and find a way to get him involved a little

715
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 11: bit sooner in the game.

716
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: Pete.

717
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,040
