We're gonna 27 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 7: start things with Ben Lieber. He was joined by the 28 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 7: coach postgame. 29 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: Why are you guys? 30 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 9: We're down here in the Vikings lockerroom with head coach 31 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 9: Kevin O'Connell and coach, Let's start with this defense. I mean, 32 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 9: this defense has been playing lights out these last several games. 33 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 9: And let me just go through a few stats for you. 34 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 9: One hundred and seventy three total yards, giving up fifty 35 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 9: six yards of rushing. They had three takes, now that 36 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 9: last one was on that desperation drive. Four sacks. But 37 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 9: let me just talk about this, the way that they 38 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 9: finished the fourth quarter alone, three three and outs and 39 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 9: one take. If you don't look at that desperation drive, 40 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 9: how are they able to stay so dominant throughout this game? 41 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, first and foremost, they've been playing you know, winning football, 42 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 6: you know, really finding their groove within the scheme, thrive 43 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 6: in with guys in different roles. But Brian Flores and 44 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 6: his staff just continuing to kind of, you know, find 45 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 6: ways to allow guys to live in their spots within 46 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 6: the defense. Maybe on the depth chart, but guys are 47 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 6: doing a lot of different jobs. We're asking guys to 48 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 6: do a lot of different things, and it's causing some 49 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 6: confusion for the opposing offenses. And what we talked about 50 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 6: as a team this week is no matter what it 51 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 6: would take to win this game, the bottom line is 52 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 6: we weren't going to flinch. We weren't going to lose 53 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 6: the turnover battle, and we were gonna find a way 54 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 6: to win it, no matter how long it took, no 55 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 6: matter if we needed extra time, whatever it was, and 56 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 6: our defense was able to pick up a pretty banged 57 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 6: up offense that struggled most of the day and really 58 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 6: take us home there all the way through the end. 59 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 9: You know, one of the key contributors to the defense 60 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 9: was Ivan Pace Junior, and I had a chance to 61 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 9: talk with him right up for the game. On the field. 62 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 9: He called himself, he's got he's got that dog mentality. 63 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 9: I'm sure you've heard him talk about himself in that manner, 64 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 9: but he really does. 65 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: He plays with his. 66 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 9: Intensity and this chip on his shoulder. And you know, 67 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 9: for a young guy, a rookie to go through a 68 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 9: long season, hit that bye week, and to come out 69 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 9: with such energy and fire and intensity, what have you 70 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 9: seen from the growth out out of him in just 71 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 9: his rookie year. 72 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you know, Vikings fans should know he's 73 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 6: calling the defense. He's got the green dot and Jordan 74 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 6: Hicks aps since he's you know, basically an extension and 75 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 6: flow out there on the field as are some of 76 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 6: our other ves in players around a rookie that we 77 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 6: trust with that green dot, and he just continues to 78 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 6: answer the call, flying around the field, physicality. He's one 79 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 6: of the best young rushers at the inside linebacker position 80 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 6: I think there is in the NFL. But then you 81 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 6: know the instincts to drop, understand kind of his void 82 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 6: and vacancy that he's responsible to cover and then make 83 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 6: that play at the end. Just remarkable, remarkable out of 84 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 6: ivan pace today. And he just keeps on getting better 85 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 6: and better. And when you find an undrafted free agent 86 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 6: like that that comes in and has this kind of 87 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 6: impact on your team, it gets you really excited about 88 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 6: the future of the player. And I couldn't be more 89 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 6: excited about Ip. 90 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 9: You talk about the offensive struggles, you know, part of 91 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 9: it offensive line was a little spotty in some of 92 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 9: the protection stuff. There's a few drops out there by 93 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 9: wide receivers. But ultimately you make the decision to go 94 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 9: with Nick Mullens. What went into that? What was the 95 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 9: calculations of going with Mullens in that situation. 96 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought. 97 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 6: Kind of the way the game had gone, we wanted 98 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 6: to come in into this game. 99 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: And use you know Josh. 100 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 6: I thought some of our run hits with him as 101 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 6: a threat of the zone read and some of the 102 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 6: quarterback you know keeping aspects of some of those plays 103 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 6: gave us a spark enough to try to stay efficient. 104 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 6: But when you lose JJ, and you lose Brian O'Neal, 105 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 6: and then you lose Alex Madison and you're really looking 106 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 6: at it, like, what we need right now is somebody 107 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 6: that I know. My trust in Nick Mullens, no matter 108 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 6: how many reps, and he did get some reps this 109 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 6: week to prepare him, but my trust in that moment is, 110 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 6: you know, he's going to go out there and take 111 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 6: great footwork, fundamentals, see it and throw it and give 112 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 6: us a chance to maybe get three or four of 113 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 6: those first downs that he did to get us in 114 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 6: range to get whatever amount of points it was needed 115 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 6: to win the game. And when your defense plays like that. 116 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 6: We came in saying we wanted to win the turnover battle. Offensively, 117 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 6: we did not turn the football over. We weren't nearly 118 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 6: as effective or explosive or efficient as we wanted to be. 119 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 6: But in the end, it's a great lesson to you 120 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 6: about turnovers, even when it's as hard as you can 121 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 6: imagine to try to move the football offensively, you're having 122 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 6: you know what, seemed like every drive we had another 123 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 6: guy going down and the group just overcame. 124 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 2: Defense never flinched. 125 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 6: We got a couple timely special teams plays as well, 126 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 6: total complete team effort where you're gonna have to lean 127 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 6: on maybe one phase over another sometimes, But I'm just 128 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 6: proud of the way the guys handled it. 129 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: They kept battling. 130 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 6: There wasn't announce in negativity when we were struggling on offense. 131 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 6: Defense just kept going and going and going and gave 132 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 6: us a chance to win our seven football game. 133 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 9: You know, I know a lot of the fans are 134 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 9: gonna wonder now going into next week with with Dobbs 135 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 9: having the performance that he did, Mullen's coming in and 136 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 9: basically you know, leading the game winning drive and giving 137 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 9: a little bit of juice, How does this decision and 138 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 9: how does his play at the end of the game 139 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 9: impact your decision who plays quarterback next week? 140 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, we're gonna, you know, we're gonna take a look 141 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 6: at it as a staff, but you know, the decision 142 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 6: is going to be made based upon you know, where 143 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 6: we are right now.

There. 411 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 6: Alex Madison kind of a very similar situation with his ankle. 412 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 6: We'll see how he progresses through the week, but you know, 413 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 6: kind of a similar timeline for those two players. And 414 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 6: then Jalen Naylor is indeed in the concussion protocol and 415 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 6: he'll work through, you know, the steps to see if 416 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 6: he can be available this week. But as always with 417 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 6: head injuries, we will be very cautious and make sure 418 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 6: that we allow the medical team and our doctors to 419 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 6: determine with Jalen his availability as it pertains to Saturday. 420 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 5: Jefferson, I guess what are the specifics that you'll actually 421 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 5: have to evaluate about his availability. 422 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 8: Is more of a pain tolerance issue or what is 423 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 8: some of the precautions? 424 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? 425 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 6: I think, uh, you know, once you're able, uh, Dave 426 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 6: to rule out some of you know, potentially some of 427 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 6: those complications and our doctors, you know, did a did 428 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 6: a great job being proactive to to do the things 429 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 6: we needed to do to make sure he could. 430 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: Fly home with us and be with us, which he 431 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 2: was able to do. 432 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 6: Uh, he's doing pretty well today and yeah, it's just 433 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 6: a matter of continuing to monitor any you know, potential 434 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 6: things that could arise. But you know what he's like 435 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 6: from a standpoint of his ability uh to get some 436 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 6: you know preparation in throughout the week and feel comfortable, 437 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 6: uh and ready to go for Saturday will be determined 438 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 6: you know as we go here. 439 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin, as you. 440 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 6: Work through the quarterback decision, what what's the process there 441 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 6: and under what circumstances would it not be Nick on 442 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 6: Saturday in Cincinnati. Yeah, the process Kevin is a little 443 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 6: bit more you know of making sure we go through 444 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 6: a full evaluation of all the plays from yesterday, and 445 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 6: then it's a matter of just you know, the dialogue 446 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 6: with the staff and making sure everybody understands really where 447 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 6: I would like to go with the decision, and then 448 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 6: the communication with the players. And you know, having been 449 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 6: we got back late last night and have been in 450 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 6: that process today. It's just a little early for me 451 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 6: to announce that, but I feel like we're on our 452 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 6: way to making that decision rather shortly. 453 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 11: Here, Hey, Kevin, I think you guys have had nine 454 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 11: different offensive linemens start for you. Is there any update 455 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 11: just on ed Ingram's health and what factor has the 456 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 11: rotation there at O line just been on the offensive 457 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 11: turmoil here? 458 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you know, it's always easy to start 459 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 6: when you lose your starting quarterback, but then you start 460 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 6: getting into the particulars of the different groups we've played 461 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 6: up front. You know, obviously the loss of Justin for 462 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 6: a significant portion of our season and then only having 463 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 6: them for fourteen plays yesterday. 464 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: Then you look at losing. 465 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 6: Brian O'Neill, you know, in a game where there was 466 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 6: a significant one of the premier players in football, you know, 467 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 6: lining up quite a bit over there on that right 468 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 6: So having to kind of, you know, there's a lot 469 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 6: that goes into it to make sure you know, whatever 470 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 6: it says on the call sheet is one thing. But 471 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 6: trying to overcome the loss of a you know, the 472 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 6: player you built a lot of the plan around, and 473 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 6: justin and or having to make some adjustments on the fly. 474 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 6: But I did think David Questenberry stepping in once again 475 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 6: giving us some really quality snaps and some great effort, 476 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 6: you know, knowing the circumstances that it was. I thought 477 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 6: Blake Brendel played you know, a very very good football 478 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 6: game at the right guard spot, considering you know, he 479 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 6: hadn't had much time in there this year. And then 480 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 6: as it pertains to you know, a Dulton being able 481 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 6: to work through kind of an ankle there at some 482 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 6: point and really refuse to come out of the game 483 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 6: and go back out there. I want to give him 484 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 6: a lot of credit for that. As it relates to Ed, 485 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 6: it's just going to be a day to day process. 486 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 6: I see a good chance that we have him this week, 487 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 6: but don't want to get ahead of myself. 488 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: It'll take him, you know, able to get. 489 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 6: Back on the practice field and get some significant work 490 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 6: in so that he can have confidence going into Saturday 491 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 6: that you know, we feel good about him being available. 492 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, Kevin, just you know, talking about that sixteenth shutout 493 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 5: in team history, I was wondered, as you look back 494 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 5: at the game, is there maybe one play that best 495 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 5: exemplifies you know, all eleven defenders, you know, really you 496 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 5: know have flores having them play as one, you know, 497 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 5: where every assignment's locked down, where you kind of step 498 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 5: back and realize what you have defensively right now. 499 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know if there's it's easy to look 500 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 6: at ips interception there to kind of seal it for us, 501 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 6: but I don't necessarily look at one. I think that's 502 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 6: what's making them play at the level they are right now. 503 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 6: It's just consistent of the mix and match between you know, 504 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 6: keeping people off balance, using our playmakers at different positions. 505 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 2: To allow them to thrive in multiple roles. 506 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 6: You know, using a guy like Byron Murphy to maybe 507 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 6: match in coverage sometimes other times, you know, maybe just 508 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 6: play his standard spot.
