The least likely 28 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 3: part of that whole thing was me being in a club. 29 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: The rest of it could happen sure or that person 30 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: still being there in the morning, and you didn't find 31 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: out at some point. 32 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: At some point, I probably gonna say, I'm pretty sure 33 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: those are testings. 34 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: No one needs to know about this.

Number number two because I feel like. 42 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 4: If you did go to therapy, this is you're testing 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 4: the waters to see what you should say to your therapist. 44 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, because years like, no, that's totally normal.

Yeah yeah, 56 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: let's just talk college football, man. So uh so, what's up? 57 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 6: Well we have uh it's it's the on the college 58 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 6: football slite. We'll go back, We'll go to the Gophers 59 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 6: after this. It's generally kind of a down weekend. Hawk, 60 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 6: So it's this is we have two regular season weekends left, right, 61 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 6: so next week yeah, so next weekend, I know, it's crazy. 62 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 6: So next weekend's the big rivalry weekend go for. We'll 63 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 6: go for versus our our rivals from the East. And 64 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 6: then this weekend just a little bit different, right, But 65 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 6: there's a lot of really important games in terms of 66 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 6: seeing who's going to get into the college football playoff 67 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 6: and of course into their conference championships. So the two 68 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 6: big games on slate really are USC is eight and 69 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 6: two and there at Oregon number eight. 70 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: That's where college game Day is going. 71 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 6: And I think right now is what is the points 72 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 6: spread of meat sauce is at ten and a half Oregon. 73 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, ten and a half. 74 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's one of those games. I think there's 75 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 6: a lot of points in this game. But USC, which 76 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 6: is kind of you know, they're eight and two. People 77 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 6: think a USC win and then they'd beat UCLA next week, 78 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 6: would get into the College Football Playoff, which probably happens, 79 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 6: and an Oregon loss would probably keep organ out in Oregon. 80 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 6: It would be it would finish roughly ten and two. 81 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 6: So it's if you're the big it's gonna be fun 82 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 6: for me to watch. If you think of the Big ten, 83 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 6: then the official I think they're probably they're I think 84 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 6: they're going to get some home calls at Oregon. 85 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: But it's a game. 86 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 6: On paper, it looks to be an Oregon w but 87 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 6: I think I think the reason why Oregon wins I 88 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 6: think Oregon's a bit better in the trenches than USC. 89 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: Can I say something real quick, just make an observation, 90 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: and this is not a shot at name, but I'm 91 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: just making an observation about the dichotomy in college football. 92 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: If a team like Oregon doesn't make the college football 93 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: playoffs and they're that much better than the Gophers, how 94 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: far away are we? 95 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 6: I mean, I think we're I think I feel like 96 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty five, I feel like we're further away 97 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 6: than I believed at the beginning of the season. I 98 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 6: think the big here's the good news is it can 99 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 6: all change in a manner of moments. Yeah, right, And 100 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 6: I think if you when you know I've talked to 101 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 6: guards you about this little bit. 102 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: I talked to. 103 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 6: Andy Greeder from the Pioneer Press last week at the 104 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 6: airport flying back from from Portland. 105 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: I think the difference right now is when you. 106 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 6: Look at our recruitment of the Portal and the impact 107 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 6: of the Portal on the program, I think we've missed. 108 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 6: And I think if you look at the top teams 109 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 6: in college football, they've sprinkled in a lot of impac 110 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 6: hack players that are from the Portal. It's immediate fixes 111 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 6: and that so that great news is we can go 112 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 6: make those immediate fixes. But I would start in the trenches. 113 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 6: That's where I think we've probably lost the most. I 114 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 6: think if I look at that offensive line, we took 115 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 6: kids in the Portal that aren't even playing right. 116 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: So we we missed, and. 117 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 6: You can't miss in the left Yeah, well, we got 118 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 6: two guys that start for top top fifteen programs. 119 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: Well, Howard as you gonna be a first round pick, right, Yeah? 120 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 4: No, the tackle for Ohio State Daniels Daniels, Sorry. 121 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: So Daniels. 122 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 6: So we have Daniels who's a starting tackle at Ohio State, 123 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 6: and we have Cat O'Connell who's a starting guard at Vanderbilt. 124 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 6: So so it's about I mean, so you got to 125 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 6: be better. We got to be better in our evaluation 126 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 6: of the portal. And I would start with I would 127 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 6: start in the trenches hot because I think if you 128 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 6: it doesn't it does you no good when you have 129 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 6: elite skill players if you can't block and shed blocks 130 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 6: on the defensive side. So that's that's the biggest thing 131 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 6: of when I when people ask like, ah, we seem 132 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 6: far away, and I do think right now, we're far away, 133 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 6: but it can change fast, im ago and guys, it's not. 134 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 6: There's plenty of funding here. It's the revenue sharing is there. 135 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 6: It's about your evaluation of the portal. And I love 136 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 6: what Kurt Signetty does exactly. Kurt goes gets production, not 137 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 6: potential production. Is a kid that's in the MAC that 138 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 6: shows that shows that he can produce at a college 139 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 6: football level. He's got he's got a lot of catches, 140 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 6: he's got yards after the catch, he's got a great 141 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 6: he's an efficient pastor. 142 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: It's kind of like we did with Brozemer, right, he's 143 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 4: super productive where he was. 144 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: And the other thing though, And I'm not, as Hawk said, 145 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be mean. This is going to 146 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: sound mean. You can't look uncompetitive on the road. 147 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 4: You just can't go into every road situation and lay 148 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 4: an absolute egg. 149 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: That doesn't help. 150 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 6: It's not And I think, you know, those games could 151 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 6: have been played at Huntington Bank, and honestly, I think 152 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 6: the square the score could have been very similar. You 153 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 6: can't be that uncompetitive with conference opponents. I mean, I 154 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 6: don't care if they're you know, and again Ohio State 155 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 6: might you might talk yourself into that because they're pretty 156 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 6: darn elite, But. 157 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: It's the Iowa. It's the Iowa. It's frustrate me. 158 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 6: Is just like even last week I told Katy, I 159 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 6: guess we needed another week to prepare for Oregon, Like 160 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 6: you had two weeks to prepare. 161 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: In a. 162 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 7: Game. 163 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 6: It's yeah, but you have to like you have to 164 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 6: have these you have to have a game. It's is 165 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 6: it coaches, players or scheme and and and right now, 166 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 6: it's kind of a lot of everything, and and I 167 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 6: think first and foremost, you got to show a level 168 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 6: of preparation and execution that's better. The miss tackles last week, 169 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 6: you know, was it was the guy in for the 170 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 6: touchdown after he broke fifteen tackles. No, I don't think 171 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 6: that was a touchdown. He was awarded a touchdown, but 172 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 6: don't miss fifteen tackles? 173 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, flash. 174 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 4: Do you think in Drake Lindsay's career with the University 175 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 4: of Minnesota at some point he'll be a top ten 176 00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 4: quarterback in the country? 177 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 5: Is level? 178 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: I think he is? 179 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 6: I think, But but he only he only gets through 180 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 6: with you. He's got everything around him. And that's where 181 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 6: I get super concerned with the offensive line. At the 182 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: offense line right now, is like, isn't going to get 183 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 6: him to be a top ten quarterback? 184 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 4: What do you think he is now? By the way, Uh, 185 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 4: he's probably thirty. 186 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's probably top thirty. But he is 187 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: he is different. 188 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 6: I mean, you've seen you've seen bits and pieces, but 189 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 6: a lot of it's gonna be what's around him. We're 190 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 6: going to talk about the Prep Bowl a little bit 191 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 6: today when you watch the six to eight state championship 192 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 6: game tomorrow, Morehead versus a dynam Morehead. 193 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: As a wise requ Morehead as a wide receiver. He 194 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: was at Ohio State last week. 195 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 6: There's a there's there's talent even in this state that 196 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 6: would hail that would help Drake Lindsay, right, So you 197 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 6: got to get the line around him to give him time, 198 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 6: and then you got to get the playmakers that can 199 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 6: create separation and and not drop footballs. 200 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 8: How do they hand how do they handle the portal 201 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 8: right now at the Gophers, because it sounds like it's 202 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 8: different at a lot of different places. 203 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 5: Do they actually have a GM? Yeah, there somebody that 204 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 5: is like the the GM. 205 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 6: The GM is handling more of the revenue sharing and 206 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 6: and and I a little bit. 207 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 5: And so who's scouting and evaluation. 208 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 6: There's there's there's a separate people, the separate department. Yeah, 209 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 6: just like a recruiting staff. So there's a recruiting people 210 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 6: you have right now. They actually have three parts of it. 211 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 6: You have someone that's out you know, who's leading the 212 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 6: efforts with high schools, which is still part of it. 213 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 6: I will say, I think any college coach in the 214 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 6: country would tell you it's a less of their focus 215 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 6: than it used to be. What PJ has done this 216 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 6: month is he's actually hit the junior colleges really hard 217 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 6: and he got three kids, I think three that are 218 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 6: pretty One is the top wide receiver in junior college football, 219 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 6: which I think that's a good thing to focus on. 220 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 6: And then you have someone focusing on the portal. And 221 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 6: the portal is a tough one because you don't really 222 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 6: know who's in. 223 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: Yet, right you don't that's interested. 224 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, in the next three weeks, we're gonna see 225 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 6: kids jumping into the portal. And it's such a quick 226 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 6: dating game because they jump in and that things open 227 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 6: for about three weeks and then it closes, and so 228 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 6: your evaluation has to be quick and it and I 229 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 6: talked to Max Osmu's dad when he came to the Gophers. 230 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 6: He said, justin we opened up the portal in ninety minutes, 231 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 6: we had been contacted by fifty schools, ye fifty five zero, 232 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 6: So then you have to whittle that down to say 233 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 6: what fits us best. They came out here early because 234 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 6: they felt it was a good fit. But it was 235 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 6: a really strong evaluation of each other, like what does 236 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 6: Minnesota have for Max? What does Max have for Minnesota? 237 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 6: And you know he fell in love with it, but 238 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 6: he had other programs similar to Minnesota. Think like a 239 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 6: Virginia attack of Pittsburgh that we're also interested. 240 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: So you have to be right. And that's my issue. 241 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 6: When you have cornerbacks an offensive line that came from 242 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 6: the portal that you gave a lot of revenue sharing 243 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 6: money to and they're sitting on scout team you missed 244 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 6: in the portal. 245 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: That's the hardest part. 246 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 6: And you can't do that, not not here the portal. 247 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 6: Players have to be starters.

Because 305 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 6: in the state, if you're in lead hockey player hockey 306 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 6: by freshman year, you're like, yeah, football's done, I'm gonna 307 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 6: focus on hockey. So when he said that and we 308 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 6: repeated that to the Dina coach. He goes, we have 309 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 6: four starting football players that are starters on the hockey team. 310 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 5: Wow. 311 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 6: What Yeah, And as Ben said I walked in, he goes, 312 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 6: it's because Mason West has has built the expectation. 313 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 5: Right. 314 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, My guest, My guess is that when you're when 315 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 8: you're stud athlete, who's you know, Michigan State bound, undrafted 316 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 8: in the first round by the by the Blackhawks. If 317 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 8: he's like, no, I'm committed to this football team and 318 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 8: I won't play, and he's been very vocal about that, 319 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 8: then like Chase Buergard, who's the starting goalie and running back, 320 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 8: I'm sure. Yeah, he's also like, well, if he's gonna play, 321 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 8: I'm gonna play. And then if the other two guys 322 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 8: that start in the hockey team, like, if those guys 323 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 8: are gonna play, then I'm gonna play. And let's finish 324 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 8: this thing out, like let's win a state title. 325 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 6: They were so close two years ago. Yeah, they can 326 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 6: pull it off this so it will be this will 327 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 6: be a shootout. This is the team that has the 328 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 6: football last will win. And I forget the score when 329 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 6: they played like about a month ago. I think it 330 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 6: was like fifty literally fifty to forty nine really, So 331 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 6: this game will have that type of offense, and both 332 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 6: coaches have said it's not really about stopping the other 333 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 6: team is it's trying to roughly contain them. But Mason 334 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 6: West a great quarterback for a DYNA senior NHL draft pick. 335 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 6: Morit has a kid named Jet Feeney junior Division one quarterback. 336 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 6: People say he's probably the best quarterback in. 337 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: The stage or he's only a junior. 338 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 6: And he has a wide receiver David Mack who is 339 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 6: the top they say, maybe one of the top five 340 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 6: receivers in the country. Who Ohio State is trying to 341 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 6: likely have him join them, So that game will be 342 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 6: an amazing game. I'm gonna take my kind of hometown 343 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 6: Mori ed Spuds to win that one. And then before that, 344 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 6: if you remember, we had a Gopher recruit who was 345 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 6: choosing between Minnesota and Alabama in the re currering process, 346 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 6: and of course he took Minnesota. So Roman Vass from 347 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 6: Jackson County Central let's go is right before that game, 348 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 6: six foot four, probably two forty in moves like a 349 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 6: wide receiver. 350 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what position does he play? Everything? Oh wow, 351 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: I think the coach. 352 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 6: He's been starting since eighth grade, and I believe they 353 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 6: said he has over ten thousand career yards. 354 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: Hold on what You're allowed to start high school football 355 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 3: as you are? 356 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 6: Yes, wow, Jackson County Central four o'clock kick on Channel 357 00:15:58,760 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 6: forty five. 358 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: So say there's a high school lineup? Dude, are we 359 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: just straight up you died on Morehead? Sure? Yeah, okay, 360 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: twenty five bucks. Yeah, we're in. 361 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: If you are keeping track at home, and I know 362 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 4: a lot of people are technically, then in this very 363 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 4: episode of the Power Tip morn until we have discussed 364 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 4: betting on the death of fifteen horses at Santa I Need, 365 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 4: and now we are betting on high school on our squad, 366 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 4: gambling on the death of animals and high school athletics. 367 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 4: This is the power of my squash. 368 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: Well, of course we all do bet on college football. 369 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 6: So Ben and I struggle, howk because we said this 370 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 6: week was kind of a little bit of a garbage week, 371 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 6: but we love to turn on the TV Saturday and 372 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 6: watch a bunch of games, and so we we went 373 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 6: back and forth. Actually kind of this morning, and I'm 374 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 6: going to take a game that has a lot of implications. 375 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 6: So we're going to take Ben is taking Oklahoma coming 376 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 6: off a ginormous upset at Alabama. He has Oklahoma. I 377 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 6: think it's minus seven and a half. He's taking Oklahoma 378 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 6: in Missouri, who has a game time decision on their 379 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 6: starting quarterback. If it's the if it's their experienced quarterback, 380 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 6: I'm feeling great. If it's not, they put back in 381 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 6: a true freshman. And so I'm taking a seven and 382 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 6: three Missouri team plus seven and a half. 383 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's seven and a half. 384 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 6: Yep, there you go power and so go Tigers. And 385 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 6: in the Gopher game, I think the Gopher games tricky one. 386 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 6: I think both teams. 387 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 5: Are they play this weekend. 388 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 6: The Gophers actually go to Wrigley Field. Tom he's on 389 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 6: his way and. 390 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 2: Driving. 391 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 6: He probably, I mean, he's not gonna make it, is he. 392 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 6: But anyways, I don't think. 393 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 4: He's basically landing in Indiana doesn't make any sense. 394 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, so you know, so again people are probably wondering 395 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 6: why wrigley Field. Northwestern is in the process of building 396 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 6: this amazing stadium and I think it opens up next season. 397 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 6: So they've been out of their stadium for a couple 398 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 6: of years. They have a they have a on their campus. 399 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 6: They have kind of a temporary stadium. It's a little 400 00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 6: bit like a high school stand that they've played a 401 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 6: lot of games. But when the Cubs are done playing, 402 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 6: they go downtown and play at Wrigley Field. So that's 403 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 6: why the games are this last this week. Last week 404 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 6: they played Michigan there. If they did everything they could 405 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 6: to try to win that game, they lost in a 406 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 6: last second field goal. 407 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: But these are two teams pretty similar. 408 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 6: If you look at all the stats, you know, Minnesota's 409 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 6: offense is number one twenty six out of one hundred 410 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 6: and thirty four teams in the country in total offense. 411 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 6: Northwestern is a little bit better at one hundred and five. Defensively, 412 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 6: both teams ranked kind of in that top forty in 413 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 6: terms of total defense. You can think of the field conditions, 414 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 6: the home field advantage maybe kind of favor Northwestern. That's 415 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 6: why I think Northwestern's minus three and a half. But 416 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with my hometown team here, and I 417 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 6: think Minnesota is gonna find a way and they kind 418 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 6: of need to to show that you can win on 419 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 6: the road, and so I'm gonna take my my Golden 420 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 6: Gophers twenty, Wildcats seventeen. 421 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: Interesting. 422 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 6: Wow, interesting, You're gonna have to find a way to 423 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 6: stop a room good running attack of Northwestern. And then, 424 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 6: just like Corey said earlier, I think we're going to 425 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 6: see our boy, Drake Lindsay come of age and get 426 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 6: get a lot more Darius Taylor. That run defense is 427 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 6: good for Northwestern, but not nearly as good as Oregon. 428 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 6: So Darius is healthy again, get the running game going, 429 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 6: finding some balance. But it's gonna be a really, it's 430 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 6: gonna be a great football game. 431 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: Another Minnesota quarterback just developing him right before. 432 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 2: Guys, that's what we do here. Apparently look out justin 433 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: thanks for your time, Thanksgiving brother. We'll see in two weeks. 434 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 4: In two weeks, Vikings News in a second with Ben Leeber, 435 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 4: a former Vikings linebacker, right after this on the. 436 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: All right, so we're not quite sure. 437 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 4: This smells like the building's on fire, but we're I 438 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 4: don't know, there's no alarm going. 439 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 2: Off, so I think we're fine.

Remember when the Pate jokes. 452 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 4: About the electrical fire smell, and then the whole building 453 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 4: burnt to the ground and they. 454 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: All died, and it was like that great white bit. 455 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 4: Sure they thought it was so funny at seven forty 456 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 4: three in the morning, and then it happened. 457 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 8: So what would it take for us to throw a 458 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 8: chair through that window and actually go out the window? 459 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 5: That would like we would have You have to have 460 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 5: like this triple pain. 461 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 2: Ben's strong.

All right, Ben, here's the question 538 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 2: for you. 539 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 5: Okay, what's the question? 540 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 3: Okay, because I'm going to play some audio from JJ 541 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 3: McCarthy talking to the pressures. 542 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 2: Did you hear any of that? 543 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 8: I saw, I saw some stuff on social media, but 544 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 8: I did not listen to it come out of his mouth. 545 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 3: I find it interesting, and I have questions that are 546 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 3: not critical, They're just questions. Trying to get that out 547 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 3: of the way right away. Okay, understand where I'm coming 548 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 3: from here, He talks about his quarterback journey. 549 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 2: Coming in here. 550 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 10: I was taught how to play quarterback in a very 551 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 10: different way, and that's expected going into the league, going 552 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 10: into any new team, any new system. But at the 553 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 10: end of the day, you know, it was really just 554 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 10: the injuries that I felt like, you know, kind of 555 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 10: took away all those reps in the constant repetition to 556 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 10: make those a habit and make them concrete. Like KOs 557 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 10: talks about, I feel like, you know, it's just the repetitions. 558 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 10: You know, how many times could I go home and 559 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 10: every time I take the dogs out, I'm getting, you know, 560 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 10: ten drops each time, Little things like that, where you 561 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 10: just keep building the reps. 562 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 2: Okay, what do you need to work on most my posture. 563 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 10: The way that I'm processing the defense in terms of 564 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 10: I know what I'm getting, but let the rhythm of 565 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 10: the play play out. You know, don't be getting to 566 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 10: that answer too quick, because you know, it's a timing 567 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 10: and rhythm of the concepts and the defenses and just 568 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 10: decision making, just understanding, you know, the situation of the game, 569 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 10: not just the concept that I'm trying to execute. Understand 570 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 10: you know, like for instance, that first pick last game. 571 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 10: You know it's four minutes going into half, we're on 572 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 10: our own side of the territory, and just understand, you know, 573 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 10: what that risk factors should be and go from there. 574 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 2: So I'd say those things. 575 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 3: Do you believe the coaching staff, specifically Ko and the 576 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: quarterback coach. 577 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 2: Helped me out? McCown yeah, Josh yeah. 578 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 3: Do you believe they spend a lot of their time 579 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 3: walking the fine line between letting the kid be a 580 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: football player and teaching them how to be the football 581 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 3: player they want. 582 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 8: That's a great question, because it's one that I was 583 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 8: thinking about myself on the way home from the game 584 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 8: last week. 585 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 2: Was just. 586 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 8: I think this happens with a lot of players, and 587 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 8: specifically gets magnified when you talk about quarterbacks because there 588 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 8: is so much fundamental and technique and mechanics built into 589 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 8: what they do. You don't want to make a quarterback mechanical. 590 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 8: I think that is the worst thing that you can 591 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 8: do for a player, is in any player, if you 592 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 8: make them so formulaic. 593 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 5: It's the thing that. 594 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 8: We hated about Kirk Cousins, but it's also the thing 595 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 8: that made him specifically great. And I was a big 596 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 8: fan of what Kirk could do because he could rip 597 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 8: it and you could throw it like like no other. 598 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 8: But when you're a young quarterback and you're trying to 599 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 8: sounds like they're trying to build this thing from ground zero, 600 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 8: you don't want to. You don't want the guy to 601 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 8: walk up to the line not only have to process 602 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 8: what's going on in front of him with the defense, 603 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 8: helps set the blocking protections, maybe change the play, and 604 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 8: then as he gets the as he receives the football, 605 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 8: then it's like, okay, one, two, three, how's my right foot, 606 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 8: how's my arm angle here? How's like do you really 607 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 8: want any player to be thinking about that? No, you 608 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 8: want the player to be playing fast. And I think 609 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 8: that's what he's talking about as far as making making 610 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 8: everything concrete. When you make your habits and you make 611 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 8: your fundamentals and your mechanics concrete, you no longer have 612 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 8: to think about it. 613 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 5: It's just it is what it is. 614 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 8: And I do think with him having a lower body 615 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 8: injury last year that prohibited him from having a lot 616 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 8: of those reps in practice in game like situations, it's 617 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 8: taken a much longer for those things to become concrete. 618 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 8: But I I love your question because I think it's 619 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 8: one valid. It is, how do how do you, in 620 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 8: the course of a season in real life bullets on 621 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 8: Sundays get a player to play free and fast, which 622 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 8: is the best way to play, to play instinctful but 623 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 8: yet smart, all the while working on your mechanics. 624 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: I think it's a very difficult thing to do. 625 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 4: We saw that last year with the Gophers, right when 626 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: they basically said it took a couple of games for 627 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 4: the coaching staff to just let Brozemer go, Just let 628 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 4: them go, let's let the harness is off, just let 629 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 4: them go. 630 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: And obviously the numbers got better and better and better. 631 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 4: We have seven games left, right, do they just unleash 632 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 4: him and say, like, look, we got nothing to lose. 633 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 4: Now we got to let the kid try. What do 634 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 4: you do differently against the Packers than you've done the 635 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 4: last five starts with JJ? What do you let him 636 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 4: quote do and let him go? 637 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: How do you do that? I mean different play calls 638 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 2: or or like, how do you? I don't know. 639 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 8: So I wonder if because it sounds like Ryan Kelly 640 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 8: was a full participant yesterday. 641 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 2: Yes he was, Yes he was. Yeh. 642 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 8: If that remains to be true all the way through 643 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 8: the week where he has no setbacks and he's your 644 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 8: starting center. Not to say Blake Brandell didn't do a 645 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 8: great job from the mental side of it. I thought 646 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 8: he played really well in his absence. But maybe maybe 647 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 8: part of it is taking a little bit off of 648 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 8: his plate pre snap. I don't know how you necessarily 649 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 8: do that, but because because the quarterback is so important 650 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 8: with this type of system. 651 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 2: But I do think that there. 652 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 8: Is a way because people were asking me, like, how 653 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 8: can we get him to play like he does in 654 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 8: two minute more for the rest of the game. Well, 655 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 8: what happens in two minute is there's less checks at 656 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 8: the line. The defense is not disguising and doing things 657 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 8: differently because they just have to get set up and 658 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 8: ready to go, and they have to make sure that 659 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 8: they're in the right place because the ball is getting 660 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 8: snapped much quicker. 661 00:29:58,840 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 5: Right. 662 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 8: So that's why a lot of people are like, well, 663 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 8: why can't we just do two minute offense all the time? Well, 664 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 8: it's it is predicated by what the defense is doing 665 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 8: as well. So the reason why a lot of quarterbacks 666 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 8: play faster in the offenses are more efficient is because 667 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 8: the defense is not allowed to do the things that 668 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 8: they're allowed to do. They become much more static and 669 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 8: you get a munch cleaner read on what they're trying 670 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 8: to do. So if you can get that from a 671 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 8: mentality standpoint where you don't have to necessarily overthink what 672 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 8: the defense is going to do, just let the guys 673 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 8: go out there and win their routes and do whatever, 674 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 8: and don't try to always put us in the perfect play. 675 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 2: Just play the play and if it works, it works. 676 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 8: If it doesn't, don't make a poor decision in a situation, 677 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 8: try to force the ball in there. Just take the 678 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 8: easy win, take the easy check down. Maybe that's the answer. 679 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 8: And maybe having a guy like Ryan Kelly, who's who's 680 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 8: a super vet that's really smart, have him handle some 681 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 8: of the protection, have all the protection stuff, you call 682 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 8: it out. You're close enough to the line, you'll understand 683 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 8: what the protection is and where the guys are going 684 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 8: to go. The running backs are gonna understand where they're 685 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 8: supposed to go. You just handle what happens post snap. 686 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 8: Maybe not so much the pre snap stuff. I don't know. 687 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 5: That's that's a knee jerk reaction. 688 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 8: And answer to like how you can get him to 689 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 8: play a little fast check this out. 690 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 3: I heard Guessling saying his podcast on my way in 691 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 3: this morning that one of the things that they're hoping for, 692 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 3: or they were hoping for when he came to the center, 693 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 3: coming into such a veteran, is he could be the 694 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 3: guy in the hew the looks of JJ McCarthy goes 695 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 3: calm the freak down. This is just football. You know 696 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 3: how to do this, And that's one of the reasons 697 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 3: they brought him in because that's the kind of presence 698 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: he is. 699 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 2: Do you buy that at all? Sure? I buy that. 700 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 5: I think. 701 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 8: I mean, I think at this point in time, you 702 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 8: guys like Brian O'Neal should be saying that as well, 703 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 8: like he's been a round enough players to understand like 704 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 8: he's he's got that status. He's a leader on the team. 705 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,479 Speaker 8: Justin Jefferson should be saying that Aaron jon did. By 706 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 8: the way, Aaron j Aaron Jones should be saying that, 707 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 8: like these guys, guys, you don't just walk in as 708 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 8: a second year guy and just because you are becoming 709 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 8: a leader on the team that you automatically assume that 710 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 8: you're untouchable. I mean, these guys should be coaching this 711 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 8: kid up and be like, hey man, calm down, take 712 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 8: a deep breath, get into your you know, get out 713 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 8: of your headspace, and just play football. 714 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: Super dumb question, because both of these are good answers. 715 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 4: But I want to know, as a player, which game 716 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 4: would you prefer to see McCarthy have he's had an interception? 717 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 2: Okay, an interception. 718 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 4: Or more in every game he's played, right one, two, one, 719 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 4: two and two against the Packers on Sunday. Option A 720 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 4: is let's say he throws for like two twenty a 721 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 4: touchdown and no interceptions, or does something like Jacoby Brussette. 722 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 2: No, that's the extreme. 723 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 4: But let's say he throws for like three seventy and 724 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 4: three touchdowns but has a pick or two, maybe even two. 725 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 4: Would you rather see him light it up and move 726 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 4: up and down the field but make a couple of mistakes, or. 727 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 8: Would you rather see one really clean game? No, I 728 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 8: want to see kind of like way we saw him 729 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 8: in Detroit. You know, I want to see efficiency. I 730 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 8: want to see him. I want to see him ripping, ripping, 731 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 8: throws in there. As long as he doesn't throw an interception, 732 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 8: If he has zero turnovers, we win this game zero. 733 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 8: And the thing is our defense. We talk about it 734 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 8: every single week. Why can't we take the ball away? Well, 735 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 8: it's a it's a factor of this and a factor 736 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 8: of that, and sometimes it's just luck. 737 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 5: And you know, we got you got to create your 738 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 5: own luck. 739 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 8: But we got to do that without you know, playing 740 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 8: out of our out of our minds and out of 741 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 8: our responsibilities and all this other stuff. So like, if 742 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 8: the defense is not taking the ball away, well we 743 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 8: can't give the ball away. So I would rather take 744 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 8: two twenty a touchdown. 745 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 2: On zero picks. Just a clean game, Just a clean game. 746 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 4: And maybe that wouldn't I wonder if that would be 747 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 4: your answer if he hadn't consistently been a turnover machine. 748 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 4: Because I don't care if you're Patrick Mahomes, right, Brett 749 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 4: Farve's the all time example. But you need your quarterback 750 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 4: to gamble. You can't always wait for the safe play, right. 751 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 4: You got to throw fifty to fifty balls once in 752 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 4: a while, and you're running as cold as McCarthy is. 753 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 4: Fifty to fifty balls feel desperate, right, But ultimately, to 754 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 4: be a winner, you got to gamble once in a while. 755 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 4: You got to give your receivers a chance, but maybe 756 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 4: not at the point where, yeah, McCarthy is, well, you know. 757 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 8: The touchdown that he threw into the end zone or 758 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 8: the interception he threw in the end zone. I know 759 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 8: that that's critical situation. Can't give the ball away there. 760 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 8: I almost can live with that one more than the 761 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 8: more than the one where he tried to force you know, 762 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 8: the ball sort of in that on that over route 763 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 8: where he didn't see the safety coming down and playing 764 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 8: that flat, Like, dude, you that's a very common coverage 765 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 8: that you're going to see all the time. Like you 766 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 8: have to understand that just because CJ. Hamm was in 767 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 8: the flat, it doesn't mean that that guy's going to 768 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 8: go down there and snug up on him like he's 769 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 8: going to see a fullback in the flat and. 770 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 5: He's going to that's a checkdown, Like why would he? 771 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 8: So you have to expect that just because the guy 772 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 8: looks like he's going to be open, this is his 773 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 8: zone coverage where there's supposed to be somebody there roaming 774 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 8: that area. So that one was the one that I 775 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 8: was like, oh boy, like that was a really bad read. 776 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 8: The one to Addison in the end zone. It's like, 777 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 8: all right, he just didn't get enough on it. He's 778 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 8: got to learn it to put if you're going to 779 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 8: err on the side of caution, you got to you know, 780 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 8: put that ball in the back of the end zone 781 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 8: and don't throw it short. Okay, I'll live with that, 782 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 8: even though it was a more of a dire situation. 783 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 2: Thank you. 784 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 8: But it's the misread on some of these these like 785 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 8: Cover three, like, you know, just basic, basic coverage things. 786 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 4: Dumbest trivia question you're gonna hear on sports talk radio 787 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 4: across the country today, Wow, dumbest.

We would look at his 818 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 8: performance much differently if they only had dropped with maybe 819 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 8: one of those, especially the one to. 820 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 2: Ask sixteen thirty two, that's bad. 821 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 4: If he's supposed to be more like twenty one to 822 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 4: thirty two, that's better. 823 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 5: That's better. 824 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 2: We'll take time. I mean, that's better than sixteen. Sure. 825 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 8: I mean the thing is, like I understand that when 826 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 8: they're When it's bad, it's bad.
