1
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: Well, the Minnesota Vikings are four and oh after a

2
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: victory at lambeau Field over the Green Bay Packers, the

3
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: final score thirty one twenty nine. The Vikings jumped Green

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Bay and led twenty eight zero with five minutes and

5
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: change to go in the first half. There was no

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: scoring in the third quarter, and then all of a

7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: sudden things got a little interesting. Vikings won by two.

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: But the bottom line, mister Pete versus analysts for the

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Vikings radio network and I'm Paul Allen, is they got

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: to the winner circle. They got to the finish line first,

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: and we had to London a four and o operation.

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you know, you go into this game

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: and with how it went in the first half, the

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: one thing that this team hadn't faced is adversity. Now,

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: a lot of this adversity today was self inflicted, no

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: question about it. However, they did have a chance to panic,

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: and they didn't. They held in there. The defense pall

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: for much of the game, except maybe that last giving

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: up the last touchdown in a couple of plays in

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: their couple series in the third and fourth quarter, just

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: played brilliantly. The execution was there, just outstanding. Every week

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: they surprised me. I think with how well they play

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: and you know today, you just every week, it's it's

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: a different it's a different group.

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: I thought.

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: The corners answered the answered the bell today. Uh with

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: the with the turnovers, the interceptions, I mean, yeah, it's hard.

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: It's you sit there and say, all right, MVP of

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: the defense, it's not one guy. And that's kind of

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: the beauty of it. It's it's it's such a group effort.

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Well, well, that's interesting you say that, because it's been

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: a different guy standing out every week. So the first

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: week they beat the Giants, Rock Valley, Io will go crazy.

34
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: By the way, great story by Ben Geslin and The

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Star Tribune on Andrew Van Ginkl and uh and life

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: in Rock Valley Star Tribune dot com. But it was

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Van Ginkle then in the forty nine Ers game, Bashman

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: thirteen tackles, had a sack, three passes defense against Houston.

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Grenard steals the show and has three sacks. Today, I'm

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: going to give it to Byron Murphy Junior, who had

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: an interception and a forced fumble at the end of

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: the game. And it's not like Byron had a Dion

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Sanders Lester Hayes esque game. They were picking on him

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: and they were making money on the Murphy Junior side

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: of the field. But Byron stepped up and he turned

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: the tables on those who were picking on him. And

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I just feel really good for Byron Murphy Junior.

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Shack Griffin getting himself in the in

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: the mix, cam Binen was in the mix. How about

50
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: kamugouje Hill, Yeah, unbelievable. I mean, you know, he has

51
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: an interception last week, he gets what he hits a

52
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: brilliant That was a brilliant interception today. So all those

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: guys really patrolling the middle of the field that did

54
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: such a good job. And this is a team, Paul,

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: that's made its money thus far on turnovers, right, Yeah,

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: and we were able to come in here and continue.

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: You are trending the sacks, you know, our turning the

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: football over and so that's yeah, just a brilliantly executed

59
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: game for the most part by the defense.

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: The Vikings finished with just one sack today, and I'm

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: glad it was Patrick Jones Senior who got it. Patrick

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: Jones the second that is because it was his twenty

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: sixth birthday today, So the Vikings had sixteen sacks for

65
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: the first three games, which led the National Football League.

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: They only got one today. It was Patrick Jones the second.

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: So green Bay also has a right to shore things

68
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: up and stop somebody from like continuously sacking the quarterback.

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: But you know another key from today p from lambeau

70
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Field Vikings four to zero, green Bay two and two.

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: What a massive NFC North related win, by the way,

72
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: with that tiebreaker situation. But anyway is the Vikings won

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: the turnover battle and they were down one in it

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: after going up too, and then it was three to three.

75
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: And then you got Murphy doing his stuff because the

76
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings under Kevin O'Connell are twenty one and oh

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: when they win or push the take give and they

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: wanted today.

79
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: And you know I got another in a tip of

80
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: the cap. Two to the offense. These wide receivers today,

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: Jordanatison coming back and you know, having a huge day,

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: justin Jefferson, six receptions, eighty five yards, a beautiful touchdown reception.

83
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: We kept our foot in the gas pedal. And I've

84
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: talked about it before where teams get up and then

85
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: they decide we're just going to run the ball. Let

86
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: the defense try to win this thing. Then they get

87
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: out of their element. The game gets close, and when

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: they go to throw the football again and get back

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: into that normal offense, you can't. There were a couple

90
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: of drives late in this game, the big catch by

91
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: JJ with the man and man coverage to get the

92
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: move the ball, keep the clock moving. There were a

93
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: number of those huge plays that happened throwing the football,

94
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: and you know it was it's who we are, right

95
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: and and for Kevin O'Connell, he stayed true to who

96
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 2: this offense is and they came through and Sam Donald

97
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 2: he only comes out with a one twenty three point

98
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: four rating. I mean, the guy is unconscious and three

99
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: touchdown brilliant thing, brilliantly executing the offense. Offensive line. Paul

100
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: did a phenomenal job today. One sack that they gave up,

101
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: it was a protection, kind of a protection Ara, but

102
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: that was right after Donald kind of twisted his ankle

103
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: and scramble and you can kind of see how the

104
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: whole thing got for Klempt and we allowed a free

105
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: packer to the ball. And so outside of that though,

106
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: and this is a tough conditions today too. The wind

107
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: everything else. It affected Jordan Love You could see that,

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: and you know he managed to hang in there and

109
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: have a great day.

110
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison hadn't played the last two and was doing

111
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: quite well in the Giants game when he messed up

112
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: his ankle, missed the last two, came back and came

113
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: back big. Three catches, seventy two yards, first touchdown of

114
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: the game, but he also had the first rushing touchdown

115
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: of his career. It was a seven yard run during

116
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: that onslaught when O'Connell's Vikings were opening up four more

117
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns on Green Bay in the first half. Speaking of

118
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, here's what he had to say following the game.

119
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: All Right, a tough place to come win.

120
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: Really loved the start we got off to knew it

121
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: was gonna be more than likely a four quarter game.

122
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 4: Give Matt and his team a lot of credit for,

123
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: you know, taking advantage of some mistakes by us, but

124
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: ultimately proud of our guys.

125
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: For finishing that off the way we did.

126
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: Won the turnover battle even though we had you know,

127
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: one for sure that should have been avoidable, and then

128
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: ultimately just did enough there offensively in the second half

129
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: to make some plays to to get some points and

130
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: at least make it a two possession game, and a

131
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: lot of things still to clean up.

132
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 3: Starts with me.

133
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: We'll make sure we're keeping on, you know, refining this

134
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: football team.

135
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: But make no mistake about it.

136
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 4: I got a lot of confidence in the guys in

137
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 4: the locker room. I got a lot of confidence in

138
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: our coaching staff. And what happened today means absolutely nothing

139
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 4: moving forward either than we got to go back to

140
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 4: work and continue to improve as a football team. Because

141
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: I absolutely love this team, every single member on it,

142
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: everybody that's here, that's all in, every single day.

143
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: It's awesome to be the head football coach right.

144
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: Now this organization because I I feel we've got the

145
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 4: right kind of guys, right kind of leadership, and we're

146
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: going to continue to improve, which is important.

147
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 5: When you cut it to twenty twenty two, can you

148
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: take the first place of Jefferson's seventeen yard thinks you

149
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 5: kind of.

150
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: Went yeah, you know, kind of based upon the adjustments

151
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: that they were making. They did some things to know

152
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: when we had a lead, they did some things to

153
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: try to force some negative runs, tightened up a little

154
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: bit and kind of had a chance there to get

155
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: to it versus the look we got and and really.

156
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: Thought the thought process.

157
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: There are multiple ways, including that huge third down that

158
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: I ended up challenging. It was to take advantage of

159
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: justin being a guy we can lean on in those moments.

160
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: But Sam Darnold, when we had the momentum place was

161
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: going nuts and just leaning into our quarterback and our

162
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: guys in that huddle to put together really.

163
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: Good drive right there.

164
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: Would have loved to get seven, but critical, critical execution

165
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: by our guys and ability to respond in that moment

166
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: after losing, you know, a significant lead, and those guys

167
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: battle back. I think this team is kind of what

168
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: I'm getting at. I think they're made of the right

169
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: stuff and we're just gonna keep playing.

170
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: And there certainly been times in football we're in that

171
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: SAXT situation.

172
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 6: Teams are running no matter how many people in the

173
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 6: US or how many people, but.

174
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, even you know, we're trying to get Aaron on

175
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 4: a red zone play there, and one of the best

176
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: safeties in football made a play on it, but we

177
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: wanted to be aggressive second and one great call by

178
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: half to kind of call the defense he did to

179
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: end up with that matchup instead of it being a

180
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 4: linebacker or anybody else in the defense for that matter,

181
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: is probably you know, the one guy you don't want

182
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: covering that route, and he made a great play on

183
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: the football. I love Sam being aggressive because he's feeling

184
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 4: me trying to stay aggressive. The lack of scoring in

185
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: the second half really wasn't really wasn't about us, you know,

186
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: taking our foot off the gas or anything.

187
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: They did some things to adjust.

188
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: We had some self inflicted penalties, some things that you

189
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: know first and five, you know, false starts and going

190
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 4: back to just non productive downs. And then once you

191
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: do that, a couple of their kind of second half

192
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: adjustment pressures gave us some problems that I got to

193
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: get cleaned up one hundred percent on me, But in

194
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: the end we were able to block them up and

195
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: get enough through the air.

196
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: And then I did like some of the run game production.

197
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 4: I mean only running for you know, about three and

198
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: a half a carry, but the thirty four rushing attempts

199
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 4: is a commitment that we want to continue to show,

200
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: and some of those plays tojustin we're byproducts of a

201
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: commitment to just continuing to churn out yards against a

202
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 4: really good front, but to win the rushing battle for

203
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: the fourth game in a row against the number one

204
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: rushing team in the league, I thought it was going

205
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: to be a critical part of what it was going

206
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: to take to win the game.

207
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: When you're up nine there towards the end and you

208
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: go for to fourth that once for the thought process,

209
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: the air goal, Yeah.

210
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: The field goal takes you to twelve.

211
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: I would have you know, just want to I just

212
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 4: want our guys to understand that I believe in them.

213
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: We didn't overly have a lot of success on those

214
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: short yardage situations.

215
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: Today.

216
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 4: You know, thought we had a chance to maybe getting

217
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: them to pack in there a little bit and see

218
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: if we can get a yard yard and a half

219
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: whatever it was. They made a play, and but I

220
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: want our guys to know I'm gonna be aggressive. I

221
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: have nothing but confidence in the eleven guys in any

222
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: phase of our team going out there in those moments,

223
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: and you know, we if we just keep improving, ben

224
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 4: if we just keep focusing on you know, the results

225
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: are great. And I hope Vikings fans and everybody's excited

226
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: about the start we've.

227
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: Gotten off to.

228
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to continue to not allow that to be

229
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: a factor in anything we do withinside the walls of

230
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: our organization, because we've been purposefully working and driven from

231
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: the very first time I stood but in front of

232
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: these guys in training camp, my belief of them, they're

233
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: not learning things about me and my belief of our

234
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: team just because the results are coming.

235
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: It's just not my makeup. Leaning into Sam with the

236
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: poise he showed, Yeah, I mean this is you.

237
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys could feel it, the juice and

238
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: the energy in here. The momentum in football is a

239
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 4: serious thing. Plays that sometimes at different points in the

240
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 4: game could look a whole different way.

241
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: Momentum, the energy.

242
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: They I thought it was, you know, pretty significant atmosphere,

243
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 4: especially in that second half. Credit them for you know,

244
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: being down like they were, but their fan base got

245
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: it going a lot of purple out there today as well,

246
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: which I think we felt especially throughout the day.

247
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, I.

248
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: Think just leaning into your quarterback, my confidence level in

249
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 4: him is is really high because he's making some throws

250
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 4: the throat to Jordan on the dagger there on the backside. Essentially,

251
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: you know, whether they had a double on Jets or not.

252
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: It kind of played out like that progressing in rhythm,

253
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: big time moment in the game and getting that ball

254
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 4: thrown and caught. I thought Jordan was huge coming back,

255
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: felt his impact. Obviously, Speedy's still making some plays out there.

256
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 4: You know, we've had Josh Oliver catch a touch and

257
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 4: I think that's our sixth different player to catch a

258
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: touchdown this year. And we're you know, just continuing to

259
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 4: you know, stay true to who we want to be offensive.

260
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 4: But our guys are handling great you know, great game

261
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 4: plans that our coaching staff's putting together. And once again

262
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: I'm I walk out of here. It's nothing matters but

263
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: the next one, which is a hell of a challenge,

264
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: you know, going to going to London and playing a

265
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: really good football team.

266
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 3: Why is it so important for.

267
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 6: You to note for the guys who know your aggressive.

268
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: And you believe that.

269
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 4: I just think, you know, it coincides, keV with what

270
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 4: I've been kind of talking with them about long before

271
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 4: the first win, second, third, or fourth win ever came

272
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 4: my belief, my belief in our defense, my belief in

273
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 4: our kicking game to go out there when we shouldn't really.

274
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 3: Have allowed it to get to an on side kick.

275
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: But you know belief in those guys to go execute

276
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: in those moments because.

277
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: I know that they believe in themselves.

278
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 4: So I'm just really you know, stating the obvious inside

279
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 4: that locker room and confirming to them that I believe

280
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: in him, I love him, and and we're gonna ride together,

281
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: and we're gonna stay aggressive while being smart.

282
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: There's always a line there.

283
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 4: But really proud of our guys.

284
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 5: There's some mistakes at least early. He came on late,

285
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 5: just were able to kind of bother him.

286
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

287
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: For I mean, for a guy that you know, probably

288
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: hasn't gotten a ton of full speed practice work, I

289
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: think he just his his battle and really kind of

290
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: throwing the team on his back there.

291
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: It's wildly impressive.

292
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: There's a lot of tough looks, like you said, and

293
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: he just kept playing. He's a really really good player.

294
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 4: And give him all the credit in the world. Uh,

295
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 4: you know, not really concerned about you know, where he's

296
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 4: at health wise. I just know he's worked his ass

297
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 4: off to get back and was incredibly difficult to deal

298
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 4: with today, Uh for our team, So compliments to him.

299
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: I think Matt's a great coach and and had his

300
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 4: team competing in battling and hopefully, uh you know, the

301
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 4: NFC North, it's going to be incredibly competitive and these

302
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: games are gonna be close. But I told our team

303
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 4: just now, we're learning a lot about ourselves and but

304
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 4: not something that we didn't already have a gut feeling

305
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 4: existed within that locker room.

306
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: If you hesitated all on that fourth down.

307
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had some dialogue, if you know, depending on it.

308
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 4: You know what I was really thinking in the moment,

309
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 4: transparency wise, is you know, do you want to make

310
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: it more than just you make them have to score

311
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 4: two touchdowns? You know which, looking back on it, I'm

312
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: sure people will will wonder, you know, why that decision happens.

313
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: But once again, I can't really make those decisions based

314
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: upon the oh no, what could happen type thing. I'm

315
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: gonna be aggressive and always smart, and I thought we

316
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: had a chance to convert with the player that I called.

317
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: They made a play and stopped us, and knowing that

318
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: they would then have to go ninety whatever it was

319
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 4: six yards seven yards. Credit them though, they were able

320
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: to do it pretty quickly.

321
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 6: After they get the strip sack and they go up cigar.

322
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 6: If they get within six you came out from them

323
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 6: right away.

324
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that maybe them up. It seemed like, yeah, it.

325
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 4: Kind of you know, got the kind of the look

326
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 4: that I was hunting for on the play and knew

327
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: that off of kind of that hopefully that action and

328
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: kind of what would be going on we would give

329
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: Sam a clean pocket to be able to step into

330
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 4: that thing and threw a down through strike.

331
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Did you have a one in package with that or

332
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: was that a straight pass on that playoff?

333
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: Then you know, I'm not gonna answer that question.

334
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: We had another football play packaged with it. It may

335
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: have been you know, it may have been a trick play,

336
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: may have been a round screen, keeper, drop back, play action,

337
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: quick kick. I can confirm it health Yes, some.

338
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: Of Justin's kitches.

339
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 4: But the touchdown, the sideline Warne touchdown was unbelievable. And

340
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: then in that moment, you know, thinking about kind of

341
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 4: didn't really just have him static very much all day long,

342
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 4: but in that moment, you know, with some of the

343
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: pressure looks we were getting, and uh, you know, thinking

344
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 4: about you know, where the football was going to have

345
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: a chance to go Sam, you know, pitch and catch

346
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 4: to you the best receieve in football and for him

347
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: to open up his stride like he did on a chalkboard.

348
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 4: You're not normally hedging on that route getting that game

349
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 4: on that play, but he was absolutely.

350
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: Rolling off the ball. And then I knew, I knew

351
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: his feet.

352
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: We were down, and I thought it was going to

353
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 4: be a similar play to the interception that I thought

354
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: was really close as far as you know, when there

355
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: was a little bit of separation of the ball and

356
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 4: then when did he when did the defender go down

357
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: with it? But then first thing I did, you know,

358
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: just in the moment, was you know, ask him if

359
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: you survived the ground and to catch because I think

360
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: you were in and he's like first down then and

361
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: we started talking about what we're gonna call next.

362
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: The challenge flag to the hatch. I threw it. I

363
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: threw it far. You know.

364
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 4: It's the good thing is there's a lot of analogies

365
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 4: you can use about you know, you don't have to

366
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: be very accurate with that thing, thank goodness. But I

367
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 4: threw it far in the moment because there was some

368
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 4: emotion involved in it. Maybe that's you know, you know,

369
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 4: you wear a headset and you know dockers to the game.

370
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: You get one chance to kind of Blake Kesher's not

371
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 3: Dockers from here.

372
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 5: Blake Kesher was saying, yeah, it's great to win here,

373
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 5: but even go great about.

374
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 6: With defense finish.

375
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: What how did you emphasize, like which part of the

376
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: did you emphasize the positivity of the wind.

377
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 7: Or or that you know something's on the field the

378
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 7: second half?

379
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, both both, because I think it's important based upon

380
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 4: what we talked about at halftime of understanding, uh, there

381
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 4: was gonna be a momentum coming. I didn't love the

382
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 4: way we finished the first half. You know, BP gets

383
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: a little banged up and and uh, you know, a

384
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 4: credit Speedy for going back there and being willing to

385
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: try to field that kick. But you know, we you know,

386
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 4: we we thought at that point anything over his head

387
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 4: probably shouldn't be fielded. But in the moment, you know,

388
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 4: he's trying to make a play and ended up being

389
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: a big play. And then I just there were some

390
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: things I just didn't particularly like execution wise, pre snap, offensively,

391
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: you know, some of the pressures that uh, you know,

392
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 4: they were able to get home on and force some negatives.

393
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: I thought our defense responded in some critical moments and

394
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: and really just the back and forth of a team

395
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: that was very very close to you know, playing for

396
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 4: playing for it all last year. We knew what we

397
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: were signing up for today. It's a really good football team,

398
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 4: tough place to come play. To come here two years

399
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: in a row and get a win speaks to what

400
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 4: we have in that locker room.

401
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: For Byron to maybe have a couple of reps Ady'd

402
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: like back, but then come away with the pick and

403
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: then the punch out late, Like what did that say about?

404
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, a huge game of a game ball.

405
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 4: I've always looked at Murph as he's got that kind

406
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: of closer's mentality. He's tough, physical, smart, loves football, great

407
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 4: scheme fit for us, plays a different variety of different

408
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: spots and uh, you know, the the smarts coming to play,

409
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 4: knowing the call, knowing the possibility that that ball is

410
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 4: going to come out one way or the other, staying

411
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 4: visual to be able to track it, finish it. You know,

412
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 4: those aren't easy catches by any stretch. And then comes

413
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: right back and then you're talking about the physicality of

414
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 4: a punch out. We've worked a lot on ball security,

415
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 4: We've worked a lot on our defense, taking the football

416
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 4: away whatever, by any means necessary within the.

417
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: Confines of the rules.

418
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: And you know, it was an example of kind of

419
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 4: multiple aspects of our team coming together and helping overcome

420
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: the adversity, some of it many of it self inflicted.

421
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: And that's one hundred percent on me.

422
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 4: Got to continue to just grow as a team, still

423
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 4: very very early in the season, by no means, you know,

424
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 4: do we feel like we're anything close to the finished product.

425
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: We're going to be. Got to keep getting better every single.

426
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: Day and have laser focus right where our feet are

427
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: planet to try to improve because this league, every single

428
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: Sunday is an ultimate challenge, regardless of who you're playing.

429
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, with Justin Jefferson today, he finished with six catches,

430
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: eighty six yards and a touchdown, So he has a

431
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: touchdow in every game this year. I think I think

432
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: that's six in a row going back to last year

433
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: in the final two regular season games. But he's JJ

434
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: and he does stuff like that. But didn't you kind

435
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: of get the feel late, you know, when Green Bay

436
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: was charging at the Vikings A the Vikings were completely

437
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: poised that they didn't freak out. You know, there wasn't

438
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: a bunch of people finger pointing. There clearly was a

439
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: blown coverage between Murphy Junior and Joshua Mattellis on Dontavian

440
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Wicks on a long hit very late. The disguy's gone wrong, okay,

441
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: And instead of them like yelling at each other, like

442
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, freaking out, na, they just like talked and

443
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: went back to the huddle. But but for Kevin O'Connell,

444
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, West Phillips, Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson,

445
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: it just had a feel of, all right, we haven't

446
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: thrown the ball to him in a while. We got

447
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: to go out there and win this thing. Let's just

448
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: go find eighteen and win the game.

449
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 3: And they did.

450
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: And how about that catch you made in the sidelines late, Yeah,

451
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: it was initially you know, ruled incomplete and then upon

452
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 2: further review, I mean, that was that was the thing

453
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: of beauty. So yeah, it may not be a huge

454
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: box score day for Justin Jefferson, but he's still outstanding

455
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: in the Packers, Paul. They forced the issue because of

456
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 2: the way the game went. They knew the Vikings wanted

457
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: to keep the clock moving and run the football, so

458
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: they were packing the box, putting eight guys in playing

459
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: man demand, blitzing, doing those things. And this is that

460
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: this team is built to make teams pay to do

461
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 2: for doing that. Right, You're gonna leave our ride receivers

462
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: one on one on the outside. We got a quarterback

463
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: that can throw like you know, forget it and those

464
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: that was kind of the hand that was dealt to

465
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: this Viking offense late in this game. And you know, personally,

466
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm fuming because I want to see

467
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: him run the ball. But it's like, you know what

468
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: this with these guys, with this team, the way you know,

469
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: with the way the league is now, you got to

470
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 2: take what the teams that the defenses are giving you.

471
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: And they did and when we needed the first downs,

472
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: so we needed to move the chains. I mean, we

473
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: left three points on the board. We could have kicked

474
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: the field goal right at the end, right, but when

475
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: we needed it, we got it and thank Evans for that.

476
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: Donald he had eight different receivers Trent Sherfield senior Ty Chandler.

477
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: They each had a reception. Jalen Naylor ed one munt

478
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: and Josh Oliver had two. Aaron Jones in his bally

479
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: hood return to lambeau Field, where he spent his first

480
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: seven years here, one of the more popular players quite honestly,

481
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: in the history of Packers football. I mean, he wasn't

482
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: here a decade, but man, is he a beloved person here.

483
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: And he assualted the earth too when she wants. You

484
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: get to know him, and he's a very good player.

485
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: He had one hundred and forty yards total.

486
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 3: That's what I was just going to say.

487
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like you look back and you're like, yeah,

488
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: it's like he just gets one hundred and forty and

489
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: you don't even notice, right, Just man, is he good.

490
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: He's just so good.

491
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold finishes twenty twenty eight, two seventy five and three,

492
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: and so he has eleven touchdowns through four games. That

493
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: could lead the league depending on what happens today. And

494
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: speaking of slinging Sammy, here's what he had to say

495
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: following the game.

496
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 3: Great on the road, divisional win.

497
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 5: You know would have loved to, you know, have a

498
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 5: little bit better second half, third quarter especially, but you

499
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 5: know the way that we were able to finish that out,

500
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 5: you know, with that long drive and then you know

501
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 5: having having them you know, kick having to kick an

502
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 5: onside kick, you know, to be able to get the

503
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 5: ball back. You know, that's the position that we that

504
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 5: we want to be in at the end of the game.

505
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 5: But a lot to learn from overall as an offense.

506
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 7: Same just that on the drive where you were able

507
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 7: to go up by two scores there. I was just saying,

508
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 7: you were kind of reminding guys, you know, hold onto

509
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 7: the ball in one play of time. I guess what

510
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 7: was your mentality going into that drive and why would.

511
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 3: Be able to execute?

512
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's just it. I think it's you know,

513
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 5: you got to have that mindset. You know, you can't

514
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 5: you can't think about what might happen or what has happened,

515
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 5: you know, them coming back. You always got to continue

516
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 5: to have that mindset of just you know, one step

517
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 5: in front of the other, one foot in front of

518
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 5: the other. And uh, you know, as long as we

519
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: continue to have that mindset as an offense as a

520
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 5: whole team, you know, I feel like we'll be all right.

521
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 6: Say on the first down play the seventeen year pass

522
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 6: to uh JJ, did you check into that? Did you

523
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 6: check kind of a play go to that after you

524
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 6: saw the look did you want?

525
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 5: Yeah? You know, it was uh, you know a really

526
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 5: good check by by everyone. You know, it wasn't just me,

527
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 5: but yeah, it was uh, you know, it was a

528
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 5: good call.

529
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: What did y'all see him one another before the season?

530
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 5: The mad y'all confident you could have the kind.

531
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 3: Of start that y'all one more time time.

532
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: Why did y'all see him one another before the season?

533
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 5: That made y'all confident that you could have to kind

534
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 5: of start your talents? Yeah, I mean just you know,

535
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 5: you know, our attacking schemes on offense, defense, special teams,

536
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 5: and then the players we got. You know, it's a

537
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 5: it's a really good formula for success in this league.

538
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, like we we

539
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 5: believe in each other more than anyone else believes in us.

540
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 5: So you know, it's a really really good formula. But again,

541
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 5: we we got to continue to learn from the things

542
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 5: that we didn't do in this game, you know, the

543
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 5: way that they were able to come back U you know,

544
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 5: like I said on offense, I feel like we could

545
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 5: have been a lot better in the second half and

546
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 5: just got to continue to learn and grow.

547
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 3: A good call in their first down to play? What

548
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: do you think of Justine's catching? Yeah, that was unbelievable.

549
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 5: One of the better catches I've ever seen, you know,

550
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 5: just the way that he was able to obviously catch

551
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 5: the football and then be able to get the toe

552
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 5: tap there as well.

553
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a special play.

554
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 6: And after they get it to one score and you

555
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 6: guys take possession for that, you know, justin pass to

556
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 6: start that. If you watch football long enough, it's like

557
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 6: a lot of teams you'll see just running the ball right,

558
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 6: trying to kill timing. It's curious like how it felt

559
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 6: to sort of being trusted, not just you, but the

560
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 6: entire offense to win it.

561
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 3: Through the air.

562
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna continue to be aggressive, you know, no

563
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 5: matter what, no matter what situation we're in. Obviously there's

564
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 5: a time and place when you want to continue to

565
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: run the football and grind the clock. But you know,

566
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 5: just the trust that you know, Ko, the entire off

567
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 5: of staff not only has in me, but the entire

568
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 5: offense to be able to go out there and execute.

569
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Same your touchdown pass to to Justin.

570
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 5: Is that one of the situations that even if he's blanket,

571
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 5: did you feel like you had the trust in him

572
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 5: that he's gonna make it play for you? There Yeah,

573
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 5: I think just you know, one on one coverage, just

574
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 5: being able to give that guy a chance. That's really

575
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 5: all I did.

576
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 7: Just getting Jordan Edison back and then getting you involved early.

577
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 7: How big was that for you?

578
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

579
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 5: It was huge, man. You know, just the way you know,

580
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 5: the last few games, the way that speedy Jalen Naylor

581
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 5: has been able to step up for us has been huge.

582
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 5: And then to be able to get Jordan back and

583
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 5: continue to have all these pieces that we can use,

584
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 5: you know, it's special. It makes our offense really tough,

585
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 5: and you know, just going to continue to learn and

586
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 5: grow and and continue to you know, have fun playing

587
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 5: both these guys.

588
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: Man.

589
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 6: Same, was there anything sing out about the way that

590
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 6: they their strategy of attack with the detections?

591
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 3: Is there everything that would change?

592
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 5: Noticeabli? Yeah, you know, I think you know, they got

593
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 5: us a couple of times on some of those looks,

594
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 5: and you know, I felt like we did a really

595
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: good job of being able to check protection on some

596
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 5: of those. But you know, we just got to continue

597
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 5: to to force the communication, understand where the play clock's at,

598
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 5: and just roll and and trust our you know, trust

599
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: what we see because you know, like we talked about

600
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 5: all the time. We face it all the time in

601
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 5: OTAs and training camp, so just got to continue to

602
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 5: communicate at a high level.

603
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 7: What was your sense for just what this meant to

604
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: Aaron Jones to get this win today?

605
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 3: It was huge, man.

606
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 5: Just the way that you know, when he when he

607
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 5: came out of the out of the tunnel, and the

608
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 5: way that he was greeted by these fans. You know

609
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 5: that that just kind of shows the kind of person

610
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 5: that he is and how much he means to Green

611
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 5: Bay and you know, the kind of guy that he's

612
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 5: been ever since he got to Minnesota with me, you know,

613
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 5: being the new guys. You know, this locker room has

614
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 5: been very special for us to be able to you know,

615
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 5: step in and those guys have made it feel like

616
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 5: home right away for me and him. So, you know,

617
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 5: Aaron's a really special player obviously, but even a special

618
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 5: more special person. Would you think generally about just playing

619
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 5: here for the first time in that environment? It was awesome, man,

620
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 5: one of the best, if not the best environment in football.

621
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 5: You know, it was, Uh, it was really special to

622
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 5: be able to play in this in this stadium obviously,

623
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 5: just you know, one of the more traditional stadiums. Just

624
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 5: how far everything goes back with you know, this organization.

625
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 5: It's uh, it was really fun to be able to,

626
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 5: you know, step foot in that stadium and in play

627
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: football game special.

628
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's close like this the kicker, I mean,

629
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: like I said during the broadcast in a couple of

630
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: times nine to noon last week in the Texans game,

631
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: when he hit the right upright from fifty eight yards,

632
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: the upright moved, the football didn't. That's how powerful and

633
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: good this kid is. He's yet to miss a kick

634
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: this year, extra points, field goals, everything.

635
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: Wow.

636
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: What a great draft pick by Kwasia Doova Mensa and

637
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: his staff with Will Riker.

Speaker 2: with all the names that we have on this roster.

641
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: But he has been so consistent and you watch him

642
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: you can tell obviously he went to big time, big play,

643
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: big time college football, was in a lot of big

644
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,440

00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 2: been doing this for one hundred years, right, And the

646
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: stability that brings, I mean, dare I say, and with

647
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,800

Speaker 2: a Viking, he has no idea about the history.

650
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: He probably doesn't care and doesn't care, and.

651
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,360
