00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Welcome into the two Minute Warning, presented by three M,

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: the official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings. I'm your

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,640

Speaker 1: round out their final road game of the twenty twenty

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: five season. The Vikings are trying to notch their third

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: win against an NFC East opponent this season, facing a

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: struggling two to twelve Giants team on Sunday. The Giants

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: have lost eight straight. The Vikings can't take them lightly,

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: since both of their season wins came at MetLife Stadium.

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: Fresh off a thirty four to twenty six victree down

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: in Dallas, head coach Kevin O'Connell spoke to the media

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: about being able to capitalize on the opportunities available and

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: the ability for team leaders to step forward on Sunday

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: against the Giants.

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: Guys've had another really solid week of practice. Love the

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: energy and the juice the vibes right now with our team.

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: We're excited to get a chance to go on the road,

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 2: play good football team and see if we can continue

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: stacking good performances together. Third in a row against the

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: the NFC East. So we'll we'll be very much excited

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: to get on the plane tomorrow and go get a

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: chance to compete on Sunday. A couple updates for you.

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: I'll get to the game statuses here in a second,

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: but you know, basically, after a little bit of collaboration

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: amongst obviously Christian Dearsol and our medical staff, we've determined

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: that we're going to place him on injured reserve. Kind

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: of as we worked through it day to day this

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: week felt like, you know, in totality, after a lot

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: of dialogue and good discussion, that's gonna be the best

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: thing for for Christian, and that's that will be happening here.

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: It's been a you know, a complex injury that he had,

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: and I just want to once again just I've admired

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: the way that Christian has attacked this and wanting to

35
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: be out there for every possible snap he could be

36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: with his teammates, and and I know he's gonna get

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: off to a great start with his preparation for twenty

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: twenty six and put this, put this behind him, and

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: we're behind them one hundred percent to do so. So

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: in addition to that roster move, that will happen. We

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: will have two players with designations. Javon Hargrave is going

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: to be ruled out today and then Brian O'Neil will

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: go in questionable after a limited day of work today.

44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: Kevin, how challenging has to spin on Christian just from

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: a mental emotion, Yeah.

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: I think.

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: And it's not even you know, it's not even just

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: the day to day and the week to week as

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: he would try to navigate through this season. It goes

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: back before that. It goes back to you know, the

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: surgical procedure and then the subsequent rehab that follows, total

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: dedication to a daily process. He you know, our players

53
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: almost unanimously voted him the Ed Block Kurge Award winner,

54
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: And I think he is a guy that you know,

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: wants to be out there with his teammates and has

56
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: played at such a high level when we've had him

57
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: in there as our left tackle, not only this year,

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: but he's established himself as a premier player, one of

59
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: the premier players at the position in the league. So,

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: you know, I'm excited to see him get to kind

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: of attack kind of you know, knowing the fact that

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: he is in a good place right now. As his

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five season wraps up, what's out in front

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: of him is is a continuation on a lot of

65
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: the things, but most importantly being able to put this

66
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: injury behind him and feel great about the twenty twenty

67
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: sixth season and offseason for that matter.

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: Kevin, when you're you know, making decisions considering not having

69
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: the playoffs, how do you weigh Clearly you want to

70
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: win these games, but also there are guys here that

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: maybe haven't gotten as many reps that you might want

72
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: to see.

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it, you know, in a lot of ways,

74
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: you know, whether it's on the defensive side. With the

75
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: news from earlier in this week about jg And and

76
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: Josh Mattelis. You know, obviously justin School's played a lot

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: of football, Blake's played a lot of football.

78
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: We've had, you know, Joe.

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: Hubert's gotten some time in there, you know, in a

80
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: game we won against the Browns in London. And then

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: obviously we've had I think three guys, three different guys

82
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: play center throughout the year, So at certain spots we've

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: kind of already naturally seen it throughout the year. Just

84
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: dealing with some of the injury adversity that you deal

85
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: with that every team deals with throughout an NFL season.

86
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: But I think the key is in your reference to

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 2: you making the decision. This is a collaborative thing based

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: upon you know each individual player and ultimately what gives

89
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: us the best chance to win, with the starting point

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: being what's best for each individual player.

91
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: The message this week finished the season strong for running

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: back Aaron Jones. Sunday's matchup is an enticing one.

93
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 5: Get this.

94
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: The Giants defense has been gashed on the ground, allowing

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty four to have rushing yards per game,

96
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: ranking them among the bottom half of the league, while

97
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings they're only averaging one hundred and two point

98
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: three rushing yards per game. So this is a golden

99
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: opportunity for Jones to break free. Here's Aaron at the

100
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: podium on Wednesday.

101
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 6: In the development of my game, I wanted to become

102
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 6: every down back. I didn't want to have to come

103
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 6: off the field.

104
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: I wanted to be able.

105
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 6: To pass protect and I feel like to be the

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 6: to be considered the best running back, you have to

107
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 6: be able to do everything. You have to be able

108
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 6: to pass protect, you have to be able to catch out.

109
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 7: Of the backfield.

110
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 4: You have to be able to run.

111
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 6: And once I kind of learned it, I just started

112
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 6: taking pride in and kind of how CJ takes pride

113
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 6: and keeping uts clean, I'll take pride in trying to

114
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 6: keep the quarterback clean. And you know it's not it's

115
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 6: it's never perfect, but it's a fight at.

116
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: The end of the day.

117
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 6: And how willing are you to how willing are you

118
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 6: to get dirty and fight for your guy?

119
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 8: Like, did you have that right away, like that mentality

120
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 8: of I'll stand in front of a guy.

121
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 6: Oh, definitely, I said, I stand in front of a guy.

122
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,239
Speaker 6: I remember rookie year playing here a matter of fact,

123
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 6: and uh, Harrison's coming off the edge and puts me

124
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 6: probably past the other hash. We're on this sish and

125
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 6: he puts me past the other hash. And at the time,

126
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 6: I'm like, all right, I didn't give up a sack,

127
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 6: and I'm like one for one. And that was kind

128
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 6: of that wasn't necessarily my mentality, but I I noticed

129
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 6: them like, I gotta get gotta get better at this.

130
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 6: I gotta get a little bit stronger. I gotta HiT's

131
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 6: a And then that off season I had a chance

132
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 6: to talk to Brian Westbrook and uh, and anytime I

133
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 6: would come across any NFL vet, I would run who's

134
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 6: a running back? I would ask him like, what could

135
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 6: you give me some tips or some pointers in pass protection?

136
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: And it pretty much.

137
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 6: Came down to all of them saying, it's it's a

138
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 6: fight at the end of the day, it's a want two.

139
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 6: You know, if the man's coming, he's either gonna hit

140
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 6: you or you're gonna hit him. And either you're gonna

141
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 6: do your job or he's gonna be doing his job.

142
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 6: So what do you want to do? What do you want

143
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 6: it to be when you cut on the film? What

144
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 6: do you want that to say say about you and

145
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 6: how you detect others and protect your teammates. So I

146
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 6: take a lot of pride in that, and that's one

147
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 6: of the things I kind of hold my head high

148
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 6: on in my game as well. I feel like, uh,

149
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 6: I'm undersized as well, so a lot of people see

150
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 6: me and that's the I used to get a lot

151
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 6: of bull rushers. But now, like like I said, the

152
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 6: development and just learning how to pass protect and kind

153
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 6: of get good at it and honestly coming here is

154
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 6: help helped me a lot as well. Watching CJ haveing

155
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: mad uh there coach me up and teach me kind

156
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 6: of the little intricacies of it has truly helped me

157
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 6: grow in that area.

158
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: The Vikings defense is on a heater, not allowing a

159
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: passing touchdown in the last five games. They hope for

160
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: another dominating performance against the middling Giants offense. Minnesota is

161
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: allowing the fifth fewest yards and defensive coordinator Brian Flores

162
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: is pretty well known for getting after rookie quarterbacks, which

163
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: the Giants have in Jackson. Dark Flow spoke to the

164
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,239
Speaker 1: media on Tuesday about how well this defense is playing,

165
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone, you.

166
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 9: Know, defensively. I thought, uh, you know, it gets a

167
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 9: real you know, tough opponent, good players, quarterback, receivers, backs.

168
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 9: I wasn't perfect. They moved it, you know, quite a

169
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 9: bit as you would you know, we expected, uh, but

170
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 9: I thought our guys played well, uh in the critical situations.

171
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 9: The effort was great. And again it's great to kind

172
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 9: of stack some wins uh together, and and you know

173
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 9: all the work these guys put in to kind of

174
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 9: get the results that are looking for. Obviously, we lost

175
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 9: j G in the game, which is a big loss

176
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 9: for us, obviously captain and one of our best players,

177
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 9: and so sad for him. You know, we've had a

178
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 9: couple of conversations, but you know we'll be staying in

179
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 9: touch with him as he got the coach through his

180
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 9: you know, recovery process. But you know, we'll just have

181
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 9: the next man up kind of mentality and you know,

182
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 9: Dallas will step into his role and you know we'll

183
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 9: get some other guys ready to go as well. Most

184
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 9: in the game, just the backs and forths and that

185
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 9: honest stuff. Why did you like to those what did

186
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 9: you think kind of bad aspect? Yeah, I mean I

187
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 9: think it, uh it kind of turned in or morphed

188
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 9: into that type of game.

189
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

190
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 9: They were doing some you know a few good things,

191
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 9: as they always do, and it just felt like, you know,

192
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 9: sometimes when you're you're in the game, you know, the

193
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 9: people who see a best up you know, on the field,

194
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 9: and so uh, you know, we try to give our guys,

195
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 9: you know, the kind of freedom autonomy to uh you

196
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 9: know potentially hey, well here's one of three calls, you know,

197
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 9: choose one. And so we kind of went that route,

198
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 9: and you know, it gave them them some issues, you know,

199
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 9: still they made some plays. I mean the one where

200
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 9: he scrambling, it looks like we got him, he flips it,

201
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 9: we got a one hand catch. I mean, those those

202
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 9: plays happen. Uh, you kind of go into it knowing

203
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 9: there they happen. They're still they're still like, oh my gosh,

204
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 9: I can't believe that happened when you're in game. But

205
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 9: you know, when you're playing against an offense like that, players,

206
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 9: you know that explosiveness. You know, those things happened, But

207
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 9: it was good. It's a fun. It's fun to kind

208
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 9: of coach, you know, a group of players to say, hey,

209
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 9: we have the uh, you know, faith that you're going

210
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 9: to make the right the right call and execute it

211
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 9: the right way. I think ultimately that's coaching. You know,

212
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 9: that's you know, teaching so that they have, you know,

213
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 9: the information, but also the kind of knowledge and understanding

214
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 9: to to make the right reads and make the right calls.

215
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 9: And you know, it's proud of the guys for doing that.

216
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: Brought up the situational defense, just why are you guys

217
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: playing so well on the red zone this year?

218
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it was point emphasis. I think it's

219
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 9: something that you know, I think you know games in

220
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 9: the National Football League oftentimes boiled down the third down

221
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 9: red zone in two minutes, and so every game pretty

222
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 9: much boils down to that, you know, and if you

223
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 9: know you're getting off the field on those possession downs,

224
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 9: third down, fourth down, holding teams to three instead of seven,

225
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 9: you kind of keep yourself in the game. And you know,

226
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 9: that was kind of a point of emphasis, and you know,

227
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 9: something we work on. It's always a point emphasis with

228
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 9: something we certainly work on and talk about. And I

229
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 9: think our guys are executing in those areas at a

230
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 9: pretty hig We'll continue to work in those.

231
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Areas still to come. On the two minute Warning, we'll

232
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,400

00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: of the best free agent signings this offseason is cornerback

252
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: Isaiah Rodgers, who's quickly becoming a Vikings fan favorite. I

253

Speaker 1: sat down with him to talk about the season so

254
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: far and his favorite game performance, which may not be

255
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: the one you're thinking of.

256
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 5: Isaiah.

257
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: The Vikings defense hasn't allowed a passing touchdown in five games.

258
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 5: Okay, good, right? How do you describe the heater that

259
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 5: you guys have been on?

260
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 8: That's all FLOORA is, that's his scheme, that's his you know,

261
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 8: he's built up our confidence throughout the weeks going through

262
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 8: you know, the schemes and everything whatever a team we're

263
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 8: playing or how they try to find ways to be

264
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 8: his scheme. But you know, shout out to the front,

265
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 8: the D line, the linebackers holding it down. So it

266
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 8: makes it kind of easier on the back end.

267
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, keeping that streak alive requires a lot

268
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: of communications. So how does that work out when you're

269
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: alongside Byron in the safeties er.

270
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 8: Harrison's more on my side, so him being like the

271
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 8: older guy to og it makes it easier for me

272
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 8: cause he's like fast paced. He understand what's going on

273
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 8: before they even break the huddle, So he kind of

274
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 8: makes my job a lot easier.

275
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: What is it like to work with Harrison who has

276
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: such a reputation before him of knowing the game and

277
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: being such a high football IQ.

278
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 5: What's it like working alongside him?

279
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 4: It's fun.

280
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 8: I try to figure him out, you know, try to

281
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 8: figure out how he last fourteen years in the league,

282
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 8: the little things like on and off the field with

283
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 8: you know, body comp and all that stuff. But you know,

284
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 8: he just find a way to make my job a

285
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 8: lot easier. I'm just trying to find a way to

286
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 8: keep him playing for a couple more seasons.

287
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 5: I love it.

288
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: I think Vikings fans like to hear that what moment

289
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: stands out to you as the one you'll remember the

290
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: most this year?

291
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 8: Uh, probably this past week Sunday Night football. Just watching

292
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 8: us as a team come together and going into a

293
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 8: game w or a lot of people around the world

294
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 8: out of us, you know, except Bikings fans and things

295
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 8: like that. But I think just going in there and

296
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 8: just overcoming adversity throughout the week and just finding a

297
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 8: way to win the game. And we did a COLLECTI

298
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 8: belief from special teams, offensive defense.

299
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 5: I'm surprised. I really thought we'd go back to Week three.

300
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 8: No, No, I forget about that game as much as

301
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 8: I can wait.

302
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: Why, I don't know. I just try to forget about it.

303
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 4: It's not really it's huge.

304
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 8: It's history, but you know, it's those type of moments

305
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 8: where people now expecting that game every week. But I'm like,

306
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 8: it's it was a history game for a reason I

307
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 8: haven't happened before, so I can't do it every week.

308
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 8: But it's just one of those games where everybody expected

309
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 8: every week and I kind of like try to like

310
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 8: put it behind me.

311
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: It's hard to expect an eighty seven yard pick six

312
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: followed by a sixty six yard scoop and score.

313
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then some more fumbles and some more all

314
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 4: in the one half. So that's pretty hard to do.

315
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, what was going on through your mind?

316
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: I haven't really asked you that, gotten the chance to

317
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: ask you that question. What was going on through your

318
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: mind during.

319
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: Taking a lot of deep breasts going on the fielding

320
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 4: just locking in once again.

321
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 8: Harry made a play that was one of his first

322
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 8: games back, so shout out to him again. But just

323
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 8: going into the game with a lot of confidence, and

324
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 8: you know, just just emptying my head with everything going

325
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 8: throughout that week and just trying to like focus on myself.

326
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: The fans is something that I've noticed that you've really

327
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: opened opened yourself up to. Whether that's the pregame ball

328
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: toss that you do, Why is that part of your

329
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: pregame your team.

330
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 8: I've been a kid before, and I've been in the stands,

331
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 8: so I knew what it felt like to catch a

332
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 8: football from an NFL player in that moment. It lives

333
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 8: on with you for a long time, where there's ten years,

334
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 8: like it stayed with me from when I did it

335
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 8: when I was ten years old till I was probably

336
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 8: like fifteen twenty, and it kept me going. So I

337
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 8: think those moments it just create a bond with the fans,

338
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 8: and next thing you know, the kids are wearing my

339
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 8: jerseys the next week, or they're hit me.

340
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: Up on TikTok and stuff like that.

341
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 8: So it's just building a big, old like friendly environment

342
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 8: around here.

343
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: Over the past two weeks, Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy has

344
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: propelled the offense to two straight victories, the first win

345
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: streak of his NFL career. The sense of momentum was palpable,

346
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: and this press conference on Wednesday, McCarthy acknowledged the team's chemistry,

347
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: praised the offensive play calling, and emphasized their focus as

348
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: they turn their attention to this week's challenge the New

349
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: York Giants, Jay.

350
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: What stands out to you looking at this Giants defensive

351
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: front in.

352
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 10: Their pass rush, Extremely athletic, you know, very versatile, and

353
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 10: so many different key roles, obviously starting with Brian Burns.

354
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 10: Tremendous player, one of the best in the league. I

355
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 10: think he's second in sacks right now. Abdul coming out,

356
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 10: you know this his first year, he's trying to make

357
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 10: a statement, been making splash pays plays, and then you

358
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 10: know Dexter, you know he's he's always going to be

359
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 10: there right in the face of the center, round the

360
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 10: face of Roy Kelly, and you know, we just got

361
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 10: to do our best to make sure they're not a

362
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 10: problem the whole day.

363
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: So, yeah, J, You've had a lot of fun, bigger

364
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: personnel the last couple of weeks that's really worked for

365
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: you guys. I guess what is it about those groupings

366
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: with CJ and extra tight ends that seems to fit

367
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 3: for this offense.

368
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 10: I feel like the guys in those groupings, you know,

369
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 10: they're very talented. They can do so many different things.

370
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 10: So being able to be as versatile as possible as

371
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 10: an offense with different groupings and stuff like that, it

372
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 10: just adds another layer when you could have those big

373
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 10: people that could also catch the ball, get open and

374
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 10: make plays with the ball in their hands.

375
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 7: This maybe goes a little without same, but Coach was

376
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 7: talking today just about how regardless of being eliminated this

377
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 7: mentality of stacking, you know, positive plays and having a

378
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 7: really strong December, just what has the mentality been like

379
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 7: for you guys in the locker room on that and

380
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 7: playing strong December football.

381
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 10: Obviously, it sucks not to have a chance to go

382
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 10: get into the dance and achieve the ultimate goal that

383
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 10: everyone tries to achieve every single year. But the next

384
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 10: best thing is how do you get better as an individual?

385
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 10: How do we get better as a unit, And that's

386
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 10: our focus right now. Each and every day, we're just

387
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 10: trying to stay present and focus on our weaknesses and

388
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 10: how to make those strengths and vice versa and amplify

389
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 10: the strength. So yeah, it's really just staying present and

390
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 10: join our company. You know, every single year the team's

391
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 10: going to be different, and we all love each other

392
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 10: in that locker room, so we're just soaking every single

393
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 10: op oh for sure.

394
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson is one hundred and sixty eight

395
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: yards away from gitting the one thousand yard mark for

396
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: the sixth straight time. Despite the numbers, Jefferson remains a

397
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: volume beast t one hundred and seventeen targets reflects his

398
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: central role in Minneapolis, but efficiencies dipped a little. While

399
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: his chemistry with rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy's still developing. Justin

400
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: staying patient and focus and dove into all that this

401
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: week and his media availability on Thursday.

402
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't feel like JJ was able to work through

403
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 3: some of the tough times this year to get coming

404
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 3: to the other side of that, starting to stacking good games.

405
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 4: Uh yeah.

406
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 11: I feel like he just leaned in on the supporters

407
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 11: that he that is around him, me included just trying

408
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 11: to be that person that he can you know, talk

409
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 11: to and call on at any time. And I always say,

410
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 11: you know, I know how it is, you know, with

411
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 11: the criticism and just dealing with you know, just the

412
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 11: world with social media and everything. So just you know,

413
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 11: being that you know resource for him. And then you know,

414
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 11: I feel like his his attitude was good, you know,

415
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 11: his his mindset was good to really not think too

416
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 11: much on the negative, not really worry about the negativity,

417
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 11: but to come out on the field and try to

418
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 11: get better, try to still lead the offense vocally, uh

419
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 11: you know, to to where we would like to be

420
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 11: and where we need to go. Uh So I'm very

421
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 11: proud of him for for doing that, especially at the

422
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 11: age that he's.

423
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 9: At coaching points on his gritty.

424
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 11: You know, he's still it's still even more work, you know,

425
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 11: but but we're getting there.

426
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: We're getting there.

427
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 11: I'm just I'm just happy to see him do it,

428
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 11: you know. I'm happy to see him have fun going

429
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 11: out there, scoring the touchdowns and uh, I mean to

430
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 11: see this his attitude that he he has in that

431
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 11: moment in that game time. I just love every bit

432
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 11: of it.

433
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 8: Doesn't see a certainty the progression that you saw him

434
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 8: making the past couple of games, and you're like, now

435
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 8: he's taking that next step.

436
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 11: That's plenty of throws and plenty of different players that

437
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 11: he has made, uh the one with Ja the last

438
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 11: home game, but that was definitely one of those top ones,

439
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 11: uh that uh you know we worked on in practice

440
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 11: plenty of times and uh we might not get the

441
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 11: same uh look in practice that we we have in

442
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 11: the game.

443
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

444
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 11: And him just making that right read, you know, flattening

445
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 11: off Jordan Addison on that out route and uh you know,

446
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 11: keeping the change moving. So just uh those type of

447
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 11: little throws and those type of progressions and uh that

448
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 11: that that is something that's uh that that we can

449
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 11: really look at and really lean on, uh into the

450
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 11: the future.

451
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: Did you guys feel like you were close after watching

452
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: back the game to connect a lot of those throws.

453
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, for sure. I mean it's it's like a

454
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 11: step or two, you know, and then of course me

455
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 11: dropping the touchdown. All of that, you know, just plays

456
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 11: a part of that. Uh. So I gotta do better,

457
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 11: you know, everybody got to do better into uh, you know,

458
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 11: doing what we need to do, uh in every single

459
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 11: play that we have.

460
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 4: Uh.

461
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 11: And you know, I always say, you know, I gotta

462
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 11: take the most of my opportunities, and uh, you know, definitely,

463
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 11: UH didn't make the most of my opportunities, uh, these

464
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 11: these past couple of weeks. So just connected with Jay

465
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 11: stand after after practice, having those reps getting the ball

466
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 11: in and out of his hands, and making sure that

467
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 11: were connected with the spot of the throws where the

468
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 11: ball need to be at, and the different looks that

469
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,879
