Speaker 1: one to one. Vikings return to US Bank Stadium this weekend,

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: where they'll host a two to zero Bengals team. There

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: was a lot of news this week, including multiple injury updates.

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: Starting quarterback JJ McCarthy's been ruled out of this game

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: after suffering an ankle injury against the Falcons. Head coach

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell formally announced that veteran Carson Wentz will be

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback on Sunday afternoon. Former Golden Gopher Max

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: Brosmer will be the backup QB, and the Vikings also

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: signed veteran Desmond Ritter to the squad to help strengthen

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: their QB depth going into the weekend. Coach O'Connell spoke

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: about the need for the team to come together to

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: help get their offense back on track and about his

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: confidence in Wentz making his Vikings debut.

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: Every team in some capacities is dealing with adversity either

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: by injury you know, you know, early season performances and Uh,

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: the reactions to those, you know, we you have to

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: understand a couple of things. You have to understand it's

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: part of it. And you have to have the guys

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: willing to step up and step into roles. And and

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: as you get guys back, you feel like you can

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: get a shot a shot of an enthusiasm and energy

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: from that as well. And then you got to figure

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: out the best way to play to win, you know,

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: each and every game as its own.

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: What's your plan backup quarterback?

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt, you know, carsonal start Max is the backup

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: we brought, you know, with the rules that being what

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: they are, and with the emergency third quarterback, we wanted

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: to you know, have one based upon you know, just

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: the you know, the early aspect of our season. You know,

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: we're pretty deep into some some position groupings as it is,

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: so we wanted to make sure we could at least

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: get a guy that's played before and and he Desmond

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: had a great workout and and and uh it's you know,

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: have have known about him and a lot, you know,

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: having gone back to evaluating him coming out, and he's

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: been on his journey and it's just good to get

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: him in and and uh, you know, he'll be that

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: emergency number three on on Sunday, and and I'm sure

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: he'll do a great job getting some sort of a

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: limited menu together that he feels good about. But yeah,

45
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: excited for Carson to get a full week of preparation

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: and and the way Max has been preparing being two

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: snaps away, Uh, well we'll probably only be enhanced and

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: and there's not much more room he can he can, uh,

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: you know, grow from a preparation standpoint, other than the

50
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: physical reps that would that would come with it. So, uh,

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: those guys are both here for a reason. And now

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: Desmond's here because he was a guy we identified as

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: as being a guy if we get to that scenario,

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: we felt like it would be good to have a

55
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: veteran guy that's you know, still young and growing as

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: a player, but can can step in and and and

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: executive called upon.

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Ko and his coaches are confident they can put this

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: team in a good position to win Sunday against the Bengals.

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Wes Phillips spoke to the media about all

61
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the efforts put in by a quarterback Carson Wentz since

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: joining the team and why he's confident in Carson as

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: the starter.

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: You know, he's really taken to the role he came in,

65
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: came in for knowing that he's one play away, and

66
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: then Josh McCown, Jordan Trailer, those guys have spent a

67
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: lot of extra time with Carson. But like I mentioned before,

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's been, he's been on those guys about,

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 4: you know, spending extra time making sure they're staying after

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: practice or early in the morning, you know, just just

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: having times to go through go through the plays, what

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: we're thinking, you know, taking notes in the installs. I mean,

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: he's been very intentional about getting up to speed in

74
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: our offense in a short time. You know, each each

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: quarterback has his own kind of strengths and and things

76
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: that maybe they've had more experience with in the past.

77
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: The good thing about Carson is he's had experience with

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: a lot of different concepts over the years and different

79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: systems where he's done something either the same or very similar.

80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 4: So a lot of it, you know, made sense to

81
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: him conceptually, and it's just kind of with with a

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: veteran like that. It's played as long as him. It's

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: it's just the verbiage just kind of connecting those systems together. Okay,

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: this is that. This is what I know is that

85
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: and you know he's he's uh, he's got confidence of

86
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: of our group. I know that the Thursday practice when

87
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: when JJ's having a baby and he has to just

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 4: step in and and on a third down day when

89
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 4: you when you install some new plays and and uh,

90
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: you know, he really went out there and had a

91
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 4: great day. So I think that just helped. Not that

92
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: you know, running the scout team and making plays and

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: things like that. I think people noticed him right off

94
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 4: the bat. It just he's big, he's got a live arm,

95
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 4: all those things. But but actually, you know, stepping in,

96
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: you know, it's kind of why you have a veteran backup.

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 4: I mean, he stepped in and we had a really

98
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: good practice.

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 5: What does what does Carson give you when you compare

100
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: to what you guys were able to get out of

101
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 5: Sam last year? That is the similarities or just I

102
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 5: know they're both veterans, they have a lot of starts

103
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 5: and stuff, but you were able to do this last

104
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 5: year with Sam.

105
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: You know, any comparisons.

106
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 4: There, Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Comparing him with Sam.

107
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: I think, you know, he's a big, strong guy, big

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: strong guy with a live arm. He's accurate. I think,

109
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 4: you know, probably gravitate towards some of the some of

110
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 4: the same throws that they really like to throw without

111
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: without getting too far into that, you know, for the

112
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: upcoming opponent. But uh, but you know, accurate, big athletic,

113
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 4: you know Sam was. Sam was maybe not as big

114
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: as Carson, but really strong, strong in the legs, and

115
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: I think you know, the ability to make some plays

116
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 4: with their legs will show up, just like it did

117
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: with Sam. With Carson. Smart guys, you know, prepared, all

118
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 4: all the all the good things you like. But uh,

119
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: you know, we'll see a little bit of gunslinger in

120
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: both of them, you know, and you kind of you

121
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: like that. Sometimes you love it and sometimes you try

122
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 4: to rein it back in. But uh, at the same time,

123
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 4: you know, you kind of rather rather the guys that

124
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 4: you have to rein back a little bit and then

125
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 4: to get them to throw, you know, the shots and

126
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 4: those types of things. When some guys in this league,

127
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 4: you know, they're they're prone to throwing the check down,

128
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 4: you know, that type of thing. So I think you

129
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: like you like it the other way around, where you

130
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: pull him back a little bit, and and Carson's made

131
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: a lot of plays over his career. I mean, he's had,

132
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: you know, really MVP type seasons in this league. So

133
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of confidence, a lot of

134
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: respect amongst amongst the players in what Carson can do.

135
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: When Wentz goes under center on Sunday, he becomes the

136
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: first quarterback to start in at least one game for

137
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: six different teams in six consecutive seasons. And now that

138
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: you've heard from both coach O'Connell and coach Phillips on

139
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: the QB, let's hear from Wentz himself on how he's

140
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: keeping everything in perspective about the opportunity to start for

141
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: this Vikings team pretty.

142
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 6: Fast paced in the last couple of weeks. For me,

143
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 6: it's been fun to see JJ and interact with him

144
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 6: and kind of be a part of what they've been

145
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 6: doing here, you know, this whole offseason, and it's a

146
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 6: bummer obviously what happened to him. Been there more times

147
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 6: than I care to admit, But you know, it's been

148
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 6: fun to see how he's responded already and exciting for me.

149
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie. I've been spent a couple of

150
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 6: years since I played in a game like this with

151
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 6: real consequences, So I'm really excited for it. How ready

152
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 6: are you?

153
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: Feel great?

154
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: Physically?

155
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 6: I feel great mentally. I feel like in a good spot.

156
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 6: The coaches have done a great job just helping me

157
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 6: try and grasp this as quick as I can. And

158
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 6: I'm you know, that was one of my probably favorite

159
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 6: things just about getting the chance to sign here a

160
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 6: couple a couple of weeks ago, was just knowing from

161
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 6: Afar the type of game plans coach O'Connell puts together,

162
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 6: the way he calls plays. I've just really respected and

163
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 6: appreciate and admired that from AFAR. So really excited to

164
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 6: see it in action, you know, this Sunday.

165
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 7: From your point of view, what makes Kevin O'Connell such

166
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 7: a mastermind at getting quarterbacks ready to play in such

167
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 7: a short amount of time.

168
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm still learning that, to be honest. I mean

169
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 6: I've been here for three weeks, so I'm still learning

170
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 6: the ins and outs of this offense, how he sees

171
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 6: the game, you know what, even just from play calling

172
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 6: within a game, all the things. And so I've been

173
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 6: around some really good coaches in my career this far,

174
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 6: and I'm excited to kind of keep seeing how this

175
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 6: unfolds with him calling the plays. But like I said,

176
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 6: from Afar, something I've respected for a while, and now

177
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 6: seeing the inner workings, it's been pretty cool and hopefully

178
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 6: we can find some success. I was the six teams

179
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 6: six years kind of shaped you're you're.

180
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 4: Ready sounds crazy when you say.

181
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 6: No. It's definitely given me a different perspective, you know,

182
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 6: going from being a starter, being a starter just traded

183
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 6: cut all the things, than being a backup the last

184
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 6: two years behind some you know, future Hall of Fame quarterbacks.

185
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 6: Getting to see it done at a very high level

186
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 6: has given me some perspective. Also, just the perspective of

187
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 6: not taking this for granted. You know, it's you never

188
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 6: know when your next chance is going to be in

189
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 6: this league.

190
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 4: The league's hard.

191
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 6: Two years ago, I was at home until mid November.

192
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 6: You know, it's it's not something I want to take

193
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 6: lightly or take for granted. So I've definitely got a

194
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 6: lot of perspective, both from you know, physically seeing how

195
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 6: it's done, but also just the mental side of you know,

196
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 6: being appreciative and not wasting any opportunity. I grew up

197
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 6: rooting for this team. You know, it's one of those

198
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 6: things you play long enough and you kind of forget

199
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 6: about those things because it's just it's football. You're bouncing

200
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 6: around teams. But being here I kind of alluded to

201
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 6: when I first got here, just how cool it is

202
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 6: for me to know, you know, I used to cheer

203
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 6: for the guys that I'm walking down the hallway seeing.

204
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 6: Used to come to the Metrodome and I was waving

205
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 6: the towel. I was part of the Skull Chance all

206
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 6: the things, and so running out of that tunnel this

207
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 6: week will probably hit me a little bit different in

208
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 6: a really cool, kind of surreal way. So I'm excited

209
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 6: for that.

210
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after a quick break, so stick

211
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: around for more right here on the two minute warning,

221
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: Skull Welcome back to the two minute Warning. I'm your

222
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: host Tatum Everett and the Vikings are back at US

223
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: Bank Stadium on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Minnesota is

224
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: six and er all time when hosting the Bengals, and

225
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: they look to extend that streak this weekend. The Vikings

226
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: are not the only team playing with their backup quarterback either.

227
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Bengals QB Joe Burrow injured his toe last weekend and

228
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: Jake Browning came in the game and led Cincinnati to

229
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: a victory. Funny enough, Browning was also the quarterback when

230
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings last played the Bengals, and defensive coordinator Brian

231
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: Flores spoke about facing the season backup during his press

232
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: conference this week.

233
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 8: So we absolutely have some experience with Jake. We saw

234
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 8: him in twenty three. Obviously did a great job. They

235
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 8: won that game two years ago. Zach does a great

236
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 8: job of quarterbacks and just offensively, so it will certainly

237
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 8: be a major major challenge. I mean, look, Joe Burrows,

238
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 8: you know, one of the the premier players in our league,

239
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 8: So it does it's different. You know, he's you know,

240
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 8: from an accurate standpoint, from a football acumen standpoint, you know,

241
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 8: Joe's he's right at the top. And I'm not taking

242
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 8: anything away from Jake Browning, Uh you know, he's he doesn't.

243
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 8: He went in there and played great, you know last week,

244
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 8: and you know, took him down the field and won

245
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 8: the game. And you know he's a good quarterback too,

246
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 8: And they got really good skill, skill players, so it

247
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 8: still be a challenge. And I don't think it changes

248
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,239
Speaker 8: much to answer your question, I think, uh, you know, schematically,

249
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 8: I think they're going to do a lot of the

250
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 8: same things and really try to get the ball to

251
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 8: their best players. And I think, you know, Zach does

252
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 8: a great job of getting into both t Higgins and

253
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 8: Chase and brown the back. You know, they got a

254
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 8: lot of good, good players. Mike g you know who

255
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 8: was a great friend of mine. Yeah, they got they

256
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 8: got a lot of good skilled players. So it would

257
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 8: be a certainly be a challenge for us.

258
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: Does a team's move go down when injuries go up?

259
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 8: Like this, No, I think you know, we we I

260
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 8: tell our guys, you know, I think the and I'll

261
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 8: tell you guys too. I think the the the difference

262
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 8: between a guy being a starter and a backup, it's

263
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 8: all about opportunity, you know. I think the talent level

264
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 8: in the National Football League is you know minus. You know,

265
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 8: I would say the top five percent of the guys,

266
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 8: it's fairly even.

267
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: So.

268
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 8: And that's the message to you know, guys like Dallas

269
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 8: Turner and guys like Eric Wilson. You know, they step

270
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 8: in and you know they've practiced well, they've gone through

271
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 8: training camp, they know the communication, and it's about taking

272
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 8: advantage of that opportunity. And I think those guys did that.

273
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 8: You know, injuries happen in the National Football League. I

274
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 8: think we all we all know and understand that. You know,

275
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 8: attrition takes place. That's why you try to build a

276
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 8: roster with with depth. And as far as the mood, now,

277
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 8: I think I think guys are always excited to play,

278
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 8: and I thought there was energy in the building. I

279
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 8: thought there was injury energy from our group. And I know,

280
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 8: you know, to answer it, honestly, no, I don't. I

281
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 8: don't think it brings the mood down. I think really

282
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 8: more than anything, it's a great opportunity for you know,

283
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 8: those guys who are in those backup roles to step

284
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 8: in and show us what they can do. And I thought,

285
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 8: you know, all those guys did well.

286
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: The defense has that same next man up mindset heading

287
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: into this matchup. Defensive leader and team captain Jonathan Grenard

288
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: spoke about how important it is for everyone to be

289
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: on the same page against a talented Bengals offense.

290
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 7: What are some things that you do like that?

291
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 9: I would just kept fighting under said that they're going

292
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 9: to get some players and stuff like that, but just

293
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 9: a matter of fact, just sticking together and understanding. You know,

294
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 9: obviously they're gonna come to us at the end of

295
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 9: the game like certain teams have done. So just gotta

296
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 9: keep doing the dirty work.

297
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 5: Are there opportunities that they that you may have with them?

298
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 5: They'll switch quarterbacks a lot, like they're in their defense

299
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 5: talking about with you guys.

300
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, but he's ran plays with them before.

301
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 9: You know, Jay Brown is a good quarterback, even all

302
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 9: they're back to college and even for them, he's weathered

303
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 9: these storms before. Obviously he got thrown into last week

304
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 9: and had a couple of picks, but that's probably him

305
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 9: being off rhythm and stuff like that. So I accepted

306
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 9: her to do some quick game. Still run the ball, Sue.

307
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 9: If you look at the tape from last week with

308
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 9: us in Atlanta, they're gonna run the ball, try to

309
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 9: do the same things they did and just try to

310
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 9: make that game, build it off of that and go

311
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 9: off of the aspect.

312
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 7: How's that shoulder for them?

313
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: Good?

314
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 9: I mean they want to shoulder anyway, so yeah, good.

315
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 5: How much this week is physical corrections and how much

316
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 5: is just keeping your your mind positive?

317
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 9: You know, it's a little bit of both. Anytime you

318
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 9: get you know, facing adversity stuff like that, you're gonna

319
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 9: kind of question yourself a question the system at times

320
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 9: just because it feel like, oh, how do they get this?

321
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 9: But it's a matter of which it's feeling like, hone

322
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 9: in on our technic can clean that up so that

323
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 9: way we can be better. On Sunday, Jeri about Garson,

327
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,760

328
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 9: us kind of like dump things on from him, so

329
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 9: it's not too much on them. But they play offense.

330
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 9: We played defense, so I'm a hand of what we

331
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 9: got on in this side and they'll they'll take care

332
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 9: of rast.

333
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: Second year defensive lineman Levi Drake Rodriguez also understands that

334
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: next man at mentality. It feels confident in the guys

335
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: around him.

336
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,760

Speaker 8: that the way.

341
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,720

Speaker 8: Sir, Things you guys are encouraged by as a defense.

349
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 8: I know that sometimes we focus on the things they

350
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 8: need to get cleaned out and deep, and that's.

351

00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 3: Of course, we gotta we gotta get better. But I

354
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: would say just coming in here working for each other

355
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: every day. That's one thing that we're excited about. This

00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: working together, we love grinding together, and it's it's so

358
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,200

359
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: get better, want to be great every day.

360
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: There was a lot of news this week, including multiple

361
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: injury updates. After suffering a hamstring injury in the Falcons game,

362
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: running back Aaron Jones Senior was put on injured reserve

363
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: to bolster depth in the running back room. The Vikings

364
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: brought back a familiar face, Cam Akers was signed to

365
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings practice squad, making it his third straight season

366
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: with the club.

367
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 6: What's it like to get that call again? Is that

368
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 6: something you expected? And what's it like to be back again?

369
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 10: Definitely wasn't expecting it, but I'm happy I got it.

370
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 10: I'm grateful for opportunity and ready to go to work.

371
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 8: How much does it help that you can't get into

372
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 8: a situation that you aren't familiar with the building. The systems.

373
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 10: To people, it's like water free flowing. Uh, come in

374
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 10: and hit the ground, roll and I know pretty much everything,

375
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 10: just hearing it again and doing it.

376
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 7: How much of the NFL is staying ready even though

377
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 7: when you don't know if you're gonna get an opportunity?

378
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 7: And what was that moment like for you trying to

379
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 7: stay ready for an opportunity?

380
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 10: Uh it's easy to stay ready. Uh A lot of

381
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 10: it has been for me staying really but yeah.

382
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: I'm ready mentally.

383
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 7: How hard was this process getting cut from the Saints

384
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 7: and then all this idle time until you got picked

385
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 7: up by the Vikings? Uh?

386
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 10: Confusing process more so, wouldn't necessarily hard. I take it

387
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 10: for what it is, but confusing for sure. So but

388
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 10: I only question God. Just put my fut left foot

389
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 10: in front of the right and keep going. You know

390
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 10: what I'm saying. I can't can't control what happening. I'm

391
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 10: just walking into the building.

392
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 9: Deja vu?

393
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: Is it weird feeling?

394
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 7: Uh?

395
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 10: No, it's a happy feeling. I'm happy to be here.

396
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 10: I know pretty much everybody, So just really get to work.

397
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

398
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 3: Did you think there was a that you'd be back

399
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: getting here.

400
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: Mmmm.

401
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 10: I had no clue. I'm not gonna I had no clue.

402
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 10: I was just working out the house, so I was

403
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 10: fully expecting to do some other stuff.

404
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: They never say never, never say no.

405
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 9: What's this week look like for you?

406
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 10: Just getting prepared, Just making sure I'm in football shape

407
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 10: and making sure I know the game plan and I'll

408
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 10: be ready to go.

409
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Now, let's take a look at the Friday injury report,

410
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: which had a couple of names of note. Before the

411
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, the Vikings ruled out quarterback JJ McCarthy,

412
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: center Ryan Kelly, and tackle Justin School. Minnesota listed tackle

413
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: Christian Darrisaw, outside linebacker Andrew van Ginkel, safety Harrison Smith,

414
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: and linebacker Austin Keys as questionable. It may seem like

415
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: several names at this point of the season, However, that

416
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: doesn't worry veterans like wide receiver Adam Feelin. It's just

417
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: part of the NFL.

418
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 11: It's a long season. There's gonna be ups and downs.

419
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 11: I think even before the season started, we talked talked

420
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 11: about it. You know, that's like one of the first

421
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 11: things you talk about as a team is like, hey,

422
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 11: there's gonna be ups and downs. It's not gonna be perfect.

423
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 11: You're going to battle adversity, and that's what we're built for.

424
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 11: That's what this organization has really stood themselves on is

425
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 11: is providing resources to handle adversity. That starts with leadership,

426
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 11: starts with people in the building that are kind of

427
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 11: the the resources to help us through tough times, and

428
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 11: then the people in the locker room. So again, it's

429
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 11: just using that that experience through the years of some

430
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 11: really good starts that ended not so well and some

431
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 11: tough starts that ended really well. So you just try

432
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 11: to lean on that and and then take it one

433
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 11: day at a time.

434
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: With the strengths that Carson breaks that you'll you'll lean

435
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: on the scream.

436
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 11: Yeah. I think veteran leadership a guy who's done it.

437
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 11: He's been around really good teams, He's been around some

438
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 11: not so good teams. You know. I saw it a

439
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 11: little bit in my time in Caroline of having a

440
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 11: veteran guy around and then when they have to step

441
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 11: in and prepare and you get to see that preparation

442
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 11: and what that looks like. I think it's a great

443
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 11: opportunity for JJ to see a guy just kind of

444
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 11: how he handles the week and to gain some knowledge

445
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 11: and experience from you know, taking those mental reps.

446
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: Do you think it helps to just that he obviously

447
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: this is not his first time like joining a new team,

448
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: learning an offense.

449
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 11: Like he's he kind of knows.

450
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 7: How to do that now.

451
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 11: You know, all veteran guys find a way to use

452
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 11: their experience to have success. I think he's a guy

453
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 11: that plays with a lot of confidence. You feel that,

454
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 11: and you see that even before he was starting, just

455
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 11: his confidence. I think a lot of times, as you

456
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 11: get to be an older player and a veteran player,

457
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 11: you learn to just go and enjoy it and not

458
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 11: treat it so much like a job and a profession,

459
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 11: but really just like taking advantage of the moments that

460
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 11: you have. And he's a guy that does that, which

461
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 11: is great.

462
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's gonna do it for us. Here on the

463
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,479
