We'll start with Mike reas fall like Chris 3 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: Ryan Happy Thursday morning. Does that sound right? Yeah? Pretty much, 4 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: that's right. That's it on the schedule. Um, the ten 5 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: minute delay to start the game. I wanted to ask 6 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: you about it yesterday and it's sort of got lost 7 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: with the way the game ended. How did that affect 8 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: you guys in terms of the replay? You know, did 9 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: you have everything you needed or any effect on the 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: delay there? Yeah? No, yeah, we were limited on the replays. 11 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: Was that limited throughout build like the whole game or 12 00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: just um just initially yeah, pretty much scoreboard whole game. 13 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it might have switched it 14 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: during the game. Um yeah, I'm not sure. You have 15 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: to chat out to check with the guys in the 16 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: booth on that. I mean, we we had the scoreboard 17 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: replay and then I think I think we had replay 18 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: after that up in the booth. But it was you know, 19 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: it seemed like I was limited at least part of 20 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: the game. How much did that affect on the McMillan 21 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: punt thing, because it looked like you maybe there was 22 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: a thought. I don't know if I saw it right 23 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: to possibly consider looking at that from your view in 24 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: terms of challenging Yeah, really, I mean it's a close 25 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: play and the right thing. It was worth it, so 26 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: I didn't challenge it. And then the last the last 27 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: one on that whole thing, I mean, what were you 28 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: giving an explanation on what happened on that, like meeting 29 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: the whole delay? Like why what you were dealing with? Yeah, 30 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: you should. You should talk to officials about that night 31 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: because they're the ones that you know, you meet with 32 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: them after the game on the pool stuff, so you 33 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: should really talk to them about it, right, Next question, 34 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: Chris Bryan fault but Dakota Rendel Warner Bill, are you 35 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: all right? Good? Chris, Um want to ask you about 36 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: the offensive execution You said you wanted to, you know, 37 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: look at the tape before you offering too much more 38 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: comment in regard to um execution below the thirty five 39 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: yard What did thirty five yard line? What did you 40 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: see and what corrections do you think you guys need 41 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: to make? Yeah, well, I mean obviously we need to 42 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: do just they do things better, So well look at 43 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: it in detail and and talk about it. Moving forward. 44 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: Just how difficult to prepare for, you know, a dynamic 45 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: Bikings offensive unit during this short time period and take 46 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: typically there's you know a key player you like to 47 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: take away in these instances. Um, how challenging is justin 48 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: Jefferson and he's getting ready for this group. Yeah, they're really, 49 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: they're really good, Chris. You know it starts with Cousins. Um. 50 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: You know, outstanding quarterbacks, that tremendous production throughout his career 51 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: again this year, um Cooks. You know one of the 52 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: top running backs in the league. Is that tremendous production 53 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: in the running game, out in the passing game since 54 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: he's come into the league. Really and you know Hawkinson 55 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: at tight end and then I'm Jefferson thelone. So they've 56 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: got I've got a wealth of talent at the skill 57 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: positions and a lot of a lot of guys to stop. Um. 58 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, they're they're as explosive as anybody we've seen. Thanks. Yeah, 59 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: if you're welcome. Thanks.

In terms 67 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: of Grossen's training camp, well, you know, Cody hasn't got 68 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: a chance to to play. He's been active for some games, 69 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: hasn't played but much. But um, you know, just continue 70 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: to develop in the practice field and um, you know 71 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: I did a lot of good things for us and 72 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: training camp was you know, made have made a real 73 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: strong impression and uh and now with you know the 74 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: injuries have had on the offensive line, um so and 75 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: the thing he deserves to be moved up there. Thank you. 76 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: Next question Mike Greece, rolled by Michael Hurley. You know, 77 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: thinking about the Vikings in their coach, Kevin O'Connell obviously 78 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: was here with you in two thousand and eight, is 79 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: a third round pick. Um, What's what when you think 80 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: back to that, what stood out to you about your 81 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: time with him and maybe just sort of what why 82 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: it didn't maybe last longer, um than maybe the one 83 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: plus year there? Um, Yeah, smart, smart kid. UM. You 84 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: know out of San Diego. UM had a lot of 85 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: things like about him, you know, his size and arm 86 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: and all that, UM. But you know, ultimately it it 87 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: didn't work out here. But you know he went on 88 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: to play I don't know five years, four or five 89 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: years in the league, whatever it was. And obviously it's 90 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: done a great job in my um soda. So UM, 91 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, followed his career from you know, Washington and uh, 92 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: you know, then out to the West Coast and you 93 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: know with Mike and so he's and and the Rams obviously, 94 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: you know, great year last year. So he's done a 95 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, he's done a heck of a job. And 96 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: you climbed through through the coaching ranks quickly and based 97 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: on the way Vikings are playing the shoot and see 98 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: why he's done. He's done a great job. And thin 99 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: getting back to I mean A Hoyer came in the 100 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: next year in oh nine and and I you know, 101 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: Tom was coming off to ACL Drew to colony. Like, 102 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: how was at a tough decision to go with two 103 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: quarterbacks at that time? I know the rules were different. Yeah, 104 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: it's always it's always tough to go with too. Um 105 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's what most teams did at those in 106 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: those years. But whatever it's it's always tough to go 107 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: to no. Next question, Michael Hardy, Hey Bill, Yesterday you 108 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: touched on how the wind affected the kicking game, but 109 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm curious how it affected the paxing game, both for 110 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: your offense and defensively. If it changed how you defended Dan, 111 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: how the offense was n I don't think it changed 112 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: too much on how things were defended a little bit maybe, 113 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, I think offensively, you staid to be careful 114 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: with some of the play play selections and we're you know, 115 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: we're we're trying to throw the ball um based on 116 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: the which way we're going, which you know, so horrible 117 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: we had called and all that. So yeah, I think 118 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: it had some effect on the passing game. I had 119 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: more effect on the kicking game, but I think it 120 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: had some effect on the passing game a little bit. Yes, Thanksome, pause, 121 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: just to take our final sure if anyone reason to 122 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: go back to my prease, I want to get your 123 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on polarity and how he handled it in his 124 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: first game. Punting. Yeah, I thought Michael handled things well, um, 125 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 1: you know, punting and holding um, you know, experienced guys 126 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: been been in uh these situations before. We had a 127 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: couple of situational backed up punts, we had some situational punts. 128 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: I thought he you know, handled things pretty well. You know, 129 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: we had that pretty good coverage out of our punt 130 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: team unit, and and he gave us some some good 131 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: directional punts. Um close on the plus fifty punt. But yeah, again, 132 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: not the easiest day to kick in for punters or 133 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: place kickers or snappers for that matter. And um so, 134 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, I thought he stepped in, did a solid 135 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: job for us. Thank you, Thank you coach, Thanks everyone, 136 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: Thank you.
