Speaker 1: in TCO Studios with our producer Eric Davidson. And the

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: first question I have to ask is because I don't

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: feel like I have. If you guys recovered from that

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: exciting win yesterday in Usbank Stadium game. Yeah, I never

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: really got too high on it. Oh you sound like

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: a player. I do. I do like I don't. Yesterday

25
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: was a win and I'm happy we won, but I

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: was just looking at what do we need to change

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: following yesterday's win. So I have recover. I recover like

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: early this morning because I got a good night of

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: sleep last night. So yeah, I'm feeling good. Games into

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: the twenty four hour rule. That's a good one for him. Yeah,

31
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: for sure, I'm no Packers game. It took me about

32
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: four or five days, but I'm good. No, I was

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: okay in the game up until the final two minutes

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: when it was as close as it was, and then

35
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: it turned into shank that kick, shank that kick. Yeah,

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: and when we so when it gave us a chance

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: and we went down and we hit it, you know,

38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: fist bump, heck, ye out, you know everything. Everything's exciting

39
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: on that end. And then driving home, it's the exhaustion

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: of the day from getting up at four in the morning,

41
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: and stuff kind of kicks in on the way home,

42
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: but you're still just kind of thinking through. Man, you know,

43
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: it's another crazy Detroit Lions game the way it was

44
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: previous what three years at this point, and I know

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: this is a new look Detroit Lions, but man, that

46
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: ending had all the telltale marks of what's happened over

47
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the last few seasons with the Vikings Lions arrivalry at

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, we're going to get to that in

49
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: just a second. I found that if I'm not in

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: the press box, which is how I've usually watched games,

51
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: or I'm not at the studio getting ready for a

52
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: postgame show, and I'm actually like in the tunnel watching

53
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: the game, I am a big fan. Sure, I definitely overreacted.

54
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: I got really excited about things. I acted like a fan.

55
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I probably need to rain that in a little bit.

56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: And the tunnel was where you stand in the tunnel

57
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: was right where kJ Osborne scored. The game was part

58
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: of it too. That probably Yeah, you probably trying to

59
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: come down from that adrenaline. Yeah, and you know, I

60
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: think too being in a game, so the Green Bay

61
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: game was obviously loud and fun, but being in a

62
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: game where it like came down to the final drives.

63
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I hadn't experienced that in us being stadium, and boy,

64
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: that crowd, that's a huge factor. I was sitting back going, Okay,

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: this is really cool. There was a rollercoaster of emotion

66
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: going on in that stadium all day long. Because you

67
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: get down fourteen, the early fans are gaining restless, a

68
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: couple play calls, a little bit of booze that are

69
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: kicking in because the fans really want to see you.

70
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: You know, they wanted to see the high flying offense

71
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: that this was week one. They wanted to see us

72
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: come out and put the best foot forward after week two.

73
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: And then you get to the back end of the game,

74
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: you know they've got the lead, the ten point lead.

75
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: You start seeing some people heading for the exits, and

76
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: you're just sitting there going, man, you've never you haven't

77
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: paid attention to this team for a while, like these

78
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: are gonna these are potentially gonna be nail biters. And

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, once it got to the point where there

80
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: was a legitimate shot, offense got the ball back, the

81
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: fans where it was kind of that quiet buzz where

82
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: they want to say something, but they know we're on offense,

83
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: so they want to be respectful and be kind of

84
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: quiet while it's going on. But man, when you you

85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: hit that touchdown in the whole roof popped off that place.

86
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. That was a lot

87
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: of fun. Definitely more fun when you're on that side

88
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: of a close game. And we have a fun show ahead,

89
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: including our guest of the day, Adam Feeling coming off

90
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: his fiftieth career touchdown. But right now it is time

91
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: for our three M play of the week from the

92
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: field to the roof and everywhere in between. Three M.

93
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: The official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings is here.

Speaker 1: Addison motions for the backfield Cousins. Out of the shotgun

96
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: with no time out, trailing twenty four twenty one, takes

97
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: the snap, straight drop, He's gonna fire right, Vikings have

98
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: taken twenty seven twenty four lead cold blooded indeed kJ

99
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: with the game ceiling touchdown. It was an obvious play

100
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: for me to pick, but there were several honorable mentions.

101
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: If you had to pick an honorable mention play that

102
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: wasn't the kJ touchdown. Gabe, what would it be? That

103
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: is a great, great question. I just thought of it.

104
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: Actually it's not in the script, so I surprised you.

105
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: It will probably be the play before because we were

106
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: on the opposing forty four yard line and kJ had

107
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: a twenty eight yard reception. We played before it and

108
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: he had the twenty eight yard touchdown. So that was

109
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: a cold blooded play and kJ just being able to

110
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: find the ball at the last minute. Kirk kind of

111
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: lobbed the ball up where kJ should be and kJ

112
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: was getting out of his route and then he looked

113
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: up and the ball was there. And just being a

114
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: former receiver running crosses across the middle, it's tough to

115
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: gauge a ball and try to see where the cornerback is.

116
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: Just try to see if you're going to get hit

117
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: between when you're catching the ball and when you're supposed

118
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: to fall. So the fact that he caught that got

119
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: a few yards and we got to a point where

120
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: the clock was stopped after kJ made that catch and

121
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: kJ scored a touchdown. Soh yeah, I would say they

122
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: play before. For me, they're one A, one B, which

123
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: our turnover and downs defensively, getting those fourth thound stops.

124
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: Let alone, you know the other missfield goals that happened

125
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: on fourth thound, but those fourth thound stops were massive.

126
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: It was a huge kind of momentum killer for the Lions.

127
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: They'd been rolling during the game. It was getting to

128
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: the point where you know, as a Viking fan, and

129
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure as the coaches and players, you're like, this

130
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: can't get too far out of hand like the previous

131
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: week had, and you're starting to see kind of signs

132
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: of that and saying, man, we got to get back

133
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: in this game. And on those fourth done stops they

134
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: were just massive, and that if the Lions had proceeded

135
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: to get the first down or for some of those

136
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: as deep as they were on the Vikings territory, you

137
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: would have the potential that one they're bleeding more clock,

138
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: you went, I have had a chance to get a

139
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: shot at the end of the game. And on top

140
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: of that, if they get the score, it's it's almost

141
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 1: not a hand. The fact that you had two double

142
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: digit comebacks within that game was massive, and so for me,

143
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: those those fourth downe stops were incredibly critical. Yeah, there

144
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: were very big moments that you can sit there and

145
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: put under a microscope, and the feeling was weird because

146
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I feel like, if we told we talked about last

147
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: time in Philly, the game felt worse than the score

148
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: look and now in this game, it's almost like, yeah,

149
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: you win, but did it feels great because of the

150
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: dramatics of it all. But when you take a step

151
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: back and you look at it, you're kind of like, wow,

152
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: we were really really lucky or that good. That's why

153
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: coming back and I feel like clowing back no pun

154
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: intended against these lines that you know, had more yards,

155
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: had more total yards, were better than stro fourth down,

156
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: and it really showed the resiliency of this team. But yeah,

157
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: there were there were a few moments in that game

158
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: that any Vikings fan could say, man, like, how are

159
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings going to pull this thing off? For me?

160
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: To that point, think about last season where you were

161
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: wanting in those two minute situations to hold on and

162
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: you couldn't close out games. This is one where you

163
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: were able to, you know, claw back into it and

164
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: hold on for those final forty five seconds. Like hey

165
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: with the big picture, but no, but that's but that's

166
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: my plot. A lot of people say that's the thing

167
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: is for me, like trying to keep that in perspective

168
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: a little bit going. Man. You know, we really, you know,

169
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, we had no business

170
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: winning that game, but yet we did. Versus you know,

171
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: some of the kind of downtrodden feelings after the games

172
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: last year where you would give up games in the

173
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: final two minutes. You actually got one in the final

174
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: two minutes, and so that was huge. Playing to win

175
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: the game, not playing to lose. And now many times

176
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: we said that last season, this team was playing to win.

177
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: They weren't playing not to lose, right, And you even

178
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: saw that at the end of the first half. You know, yeah,

179
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: there was a time out call. Then they were trying

180
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: to there's twenty some seconds left. You would assume, while

181
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: you can just kneel it and run it out and

182
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: go back to the locker room, this offense has a mentality. No,

183
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: we got twenty five seconds left, we can at least

184
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: get into field goal range or more. We're going to

185
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: take a chance, and we're going to take a shot

186
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: to see if we can improve the position that we

187
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: are in. Because at that time, you were still trying

188
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: to claw back from the fourteen nothing issue that was

189
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: going on after essentially the very beginning of the second quarter.

190
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: You were still trying to get back to even at

191
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: that point before half, and they had that killer mentality

192
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: of we're going to go for this thing and see

193
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: if we can get some more points right before half. Well,

194
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: there were several overreactions I'm sure on Twitter throughout the

195
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: game after the game, so I figured we would have

196
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: an overreaction Tuesday and talk about four things. Should we

197
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: be overreacting about this? Or where's the temperature? Sure on

198
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: this one? What's going on? So the first one's kind

199
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: of a fun one because as good as the Lions

200
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: and hys on the Lions as people were talking about

201
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: them coming into this game, they're still one in two.

202
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: They still kind of let the game go a couple

203
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: of times. There are the Lions still the Lion landscape. Yes,

204
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: us winning the game this year, I guess the line

205
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: I guess. This past Sunday reminded me of the Baltimore

206
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: Ravens game last year that they lost before they played US,

207
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: where Justin Tucker hit the sixty six yard field goal.

208
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: The Ravens marched the ball down the field to get

209
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: into field goal range, like with ten seconds on the clock,

210
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: and fast forwarding to this game, like that miss field goal,

211
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: it's like, why don't you pooch that? Or like why

212
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: don't you like I mean, there was a bunch of

213
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: what ifs, But I think that their big knell in

214
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: the coffin was my point of them calling a time

215
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: out after kJ has that first twenty eight yard reception,

216
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: It's like, what are we doing here? So it stop

217
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: the clock. We got another play in and we really

218
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to to throw that game winner. So yeah,

219
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: the Lions are still the lines. Here's the thing for

220
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: the Lions. If they hit their kicks, they won that game.

221
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: And they had three forty yard field goals that they attempted,

222
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: and they missed two of them, only one of them

223
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: being from fifty four and the other ones were within

224
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: forty to forty eight range. For the other two, they

225
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: only hit one of them. If they hit either of

226
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: those other two, they're down by one. But if they

227
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: hit both of them, you know, that's six points their

228
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: head and we're really chasing. It's out of hand for us.

229
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: So for me, the Lions, if they're the Lions. That

230
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: was kind of a little bit of a theme that

231
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: they ran through hard knocks. Why is saying trying to

232
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: change that mentality? I think as this coaching staff becomes

233
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: more and more solid in what they should be doing

234
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: and having, you know, these kind of mistakes like this

235
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: that are essentially costly to cost the game. You know,

236
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: it's the what if. Yeah maybe it would have prevented

237
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: us from scoring that touchdown, but you don't fully know.

238
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: But for me the Lions, you know, and it's kind

239
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: of the thing. Until you can get out of that

240
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: rut and out of that same pattern of behavior, people

241
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: are just going to look at you in in a

242
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: similar fashion. I think for them, there's a very real

243
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: chance that could be three and ol and the two

244
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: losses they had were really rough. Yeah. I know this

245
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: isn't the DP the Detroit Lions podcast, but we I mean,

246
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: you look at that and you say, okay, that last

247
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: play you lost eight yards, Like just from that miss

248
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: filgo because wherever the place kicker a knee is when

249
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: he kicks the ball, that's where the opposing team gets

250
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: the ball. And it's just like, why don't you just

251
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: hunt the ball or why don't you just I mean

252
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: it's fourth and two, you're four to six on fourth

253
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: down the entire game. Why don't you just run? The

254
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: balls are in your favor? Right back to the Minnesota

255
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: Vikings podcast network, No one. You guys are right though,

256
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: Ding Ding Ding. It is not an overreaction. The Lions

257
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: are still the Lions. Good job. Yeah, next one, Justin

258
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: Jefferson getting shut down the last two games. Should we

259
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: be concerned, Gabe? That is a great question, Tatum. I

260
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: don't think we should be concerned because opposing defenses are

261
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: going to have to respect kJ Osborne and Adam Dealing

262
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: as receivers. They were not involved in the game plan

263
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: as much the first two games, so Justin Jefferson was

264
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: going off and the Philadelphia Eagles kind of proved a

265
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: method on how to stop JJ. Double team him and

266
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: let Kirk force the ball to him and let's intercept him.

267
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: Now that Kirk has put on tape that kJ Osborne

268
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: and Adam DeLand can make plays, I think Justin Jefferson

269
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: has bigger games because you can't just focus on him

270
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: the entire game if you're opposing defense. I think after

271
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: week one you were saying, you know, JJ is gonna

272
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: be potential MVP candidate. I think, how'd you have to

273
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: bring that up. No, but there's a point because because

274
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: week two. Because week two, the Philadelphia Eagles then turned

275
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: around and said, okay, hold my beer, we're going to

276
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: shut him down and see what the rest of the

277
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: team does. In that Week two game, the offense essentially

278
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: kind of floundered and we weren't able to get a

279
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: rhythm going. This week, it was the feeling of, Okay,

280
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: if you're going to do that again, we're going to

281
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: prove to you with all of our other weapons, essentially

282
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: three different running backs, three different wide receivers, three different

283
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: tight ends, that you cannot just single one player and

284
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: think that you're going to win this game. We have

285
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: enough weapons at all of these other positions that if

286
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: you are going to sit there and just say, all right,

287
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna brack a coverage or three man coverage JJ,

288
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: then we're gonna take the chances one on one with

289
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: these other people, and a guy like JJ Osborne is

290
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: going to burn you for the game winning touchdown. And

291
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: I think, honestly that kind of I feel like our

292
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: offense performs well in situations like that. So two minute

293
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: drive right, two minute drive. If you're a receiver, you're

294
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: not lined up in a personnel or a different formation. Hey,

295
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: Jay noteson line up to the left and they run

296
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: this route. If you do that, they're in big trouble. Right.

297
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: But no, I'm saying, if you're putting me on that field, yeah,

298
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: no punting big j Yeah okay. But like in look

299
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: in a two minute drill, it's wherever you are on

300
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: the field, that's where you line up at. So if

301
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: you're an opposing defense, you're probably still putting your focus

302
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: on JJ, who's on the opposite side of the field.

303
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: So for kJ Osborne, it just opened up that you're

304
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: just one on one. He gets to just be himself

305
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: and we ultimately walk off with a game winning touchdown.

306
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: Part of that, too, was also the discussion in the

307
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: off season by the offense and defensive players saying, the

308
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: one thing about this offense is you try to make

309
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: it look the same every single time going out there

310
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: for the most part, so you can't key on which

311
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: guy is actually the target for that that play. So

312
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: that's I think by design. You know the idea that yeah,

313
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: there's gonna be players who want to have the ball

314
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: in their hands, but they also know that they have

315
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: enough playmakers across the board that if you do primarily

316
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: focus on one guy, there's enough killers out there that

317
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: it's going to make it happen for this offense. Yes,

318
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: that's the right answer. Or do not overreact that J's

319
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: not involved last two weeks, I will still die on

320
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: the jj F MVP hill. That's fine. I just you know,

321
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: I need a regroup and maybe come up with a

322
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: better campaign slogan. I don't know. I mean Ron Johnson

323
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: rapid fire questions, all right. Next one, the defense allowed

324
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: one hundred yards one hundred plus yards rushing in the

325
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: first three games. Cause for concern. No, not yet, And

326
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say not yet, because they did hold this

327
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions team to four yards per rush. And when

328
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: you're opposing defensive line coach Chris Rump, you're basically saying,

329
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: if we hold those guys to four yards a carry,

330
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: we're in good hands. And a couple of weeks ago, well,

331
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean last week against the Philadelphia Eagles it was

332
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: nine yards to carry, and then the Green Bay Packers

333
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: it was like six yards to carry. And I know

334
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting very nerdy here, but the average stat line

335
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: is under four. We're in good shape. So until that

336
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: number gets over four, then I'll start overreacting. For me,

337
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't as nervous about the run game. I will

338
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: more nervous about the pass rush. Through the last two games,

339
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: it felt like Week one, you know, they were definitely

340
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: getting home at Aaron Rodgers and making life miserable for him.

341
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: These past two games, it felt like defensively, the rush

342
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: that they were having was not putting enough of a

343
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: squeeze on the quarterback pocket. And so for me, I

344
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: was more concerned about the pass rush than I was

345
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: actually stopping the run from the Lions. But you know,

346
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: there were definitely some times, especially in the second quarter,

347
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: you felt like the running game for the Lions was

348
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: really putting some you know, eight nine yards a clip

349
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: when they were running. Second half, they kind of tightened

350
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: that up decently against them. But for me, it was

351
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: more of an issue of the pass rush than it

352
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: was actually stopping the running game. Yeah, I think I'm

353
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: like a mid level cause of concern personally. I'm a

354
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: little bit here north there because I do think that

355
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: these were really good, some of the best probably that

356
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: will see this season run games, Like there are a

357
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: lot down the line that we will see that are

358
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: very good. But when you faced DeAndre Swift, Jamal Williams,

359
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, Miles Sanders, like, I think that even the

360
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: combo of Jones and like these are really good running

361
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: back rooms. So to minimize the damage, I guess is

362
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: what we're looking for. And I think so far it's

363
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: been okay. But I'm also very week three. I don't

364
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: really feel like I know this team one hundred percent,

365
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: and I only think that like they've improved a little

366
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: bit every single time. Even though that Eagles game was rough,

367
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: I do think that this was a better showing and

368
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: so I kind of have faith at that it'll turn

369
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: itself around. So yeah, that's where I stand. I'm kind

370
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: of in the middle. In the middle in the New

371
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints are the fifteen best run offense in the NFL,

372
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: So I thought it'd be like thirty two or something.

373
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: It's that bad. They are bad when it comes to

374
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: you well, they're really good when it comes to yards

375
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: per rush. So hopefully we can, you know, get back

376
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: on track and keep those guys to two under one

377
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards because they are struggling right now throwing the ball.

378
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: It's time it's time to really capitalize on this one.

379
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: We won't get too much into that. Well, we'll talk

380
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: about the show next week soon in this podcast, but

381
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: we got one. So you guys are still think hungover.

382
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: Probably shouldn't tell the fans that Molson chorus free promotional

383
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: hangover emotional. Yeah maybe for you, Jane, not kidding. No,

384
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: I was packing. I want a packing hangover all right.

385
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: Last one, Lewis Seene didn't play any snaps on defense

386
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: versus the Lions. Cause for concern. Yeah, because he's your

387
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: first round safety, right, like you drafted him for moments

388
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: like this, and Josh from tell Us had a really

389
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: good game. So yeah, I am a little concerned about that.

390
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: Like I want to know what it is, especially since

391
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: he is on the field for special teams so it

392
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: clearly is not health So I just want to know

393
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: what it is and why haven't we seen him just yet?

394
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm a little concerned. I understand people being

395
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: concerned with the first round draft pick not seeing the field,

396
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that you want to

397
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: see your first and second round guys contributing. He is

398
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: out there, like you said, on special teams doing that

399
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: with Harrison Smith being out for this game, there's a

400
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: feeling like, up, here's your apportunity. You can get out

401
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: there and show something. The fact that Camon mattellis really

402
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: held their own on the back end and we're making

403
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: really good plays minimized, you know, kind of the feeling

404
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: of lewis not really getting that defensive play. For me,

405
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic to say they're going

406
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: to put the kid out there when he's finally when

407
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: they feel like, you know, he can get out there

408
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: and actually do what he's supposed to do and they

409
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: can trust him to do what he's drafted to do

410
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: and be on this team. But is there concern I'm

411
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: not concerned for the long run. Is it disappointing because

412
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: you feel like there might have been an opportunity for

413
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: this week to see him do it? Sure, I just

414
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: it would have been fun to see what actually he

415
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: could have done. But if you think about it, you know,

416
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: you were trying to stop the run. He was really

417
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: good at that at Georgia. But when it came down

418
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: to needing to be out there on pass pro and

419
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: to be able to cover deep especially, he wasn't out

420
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: there and I guess that would have been what it

421
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: would have been interesting to see just how far he progressed.

422
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: So the fact that Camon Mattellis held their own that

423
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: was a great feeling for this defense because it really

424
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: shows how much depth you have in that safety position.

425
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: I can see both your points. I'm gonna actually lean

426
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: more with Gabe on this one because I do think

427
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: that there's a little bit of concern, especially when you

428
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: think of the way that can bind him. I know

429
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to like compare people side by side,

430
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: but the way they can buy him came in as

431
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: a rookie, switched from corner to safety and subbed in

432
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: for Harrison Smith I think mid season last year, so

433
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't Week three, but it wasn't a position he

434
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: was familiar playing, and so I do think as someone

435
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: like Lewis who played strong safety, who's been in this

436
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: position before, you would think the transition would be a

437
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: little bit easier. The only thing that I would say

438
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: about that, though, is you know, if you give it,

439
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: given your point that you just made, if this was

440
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: five weeks later and we're halfway through the season and

441
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: he's still not making the field, then that's maybe where

442
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: the concern is a little bit more for me. I

443
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: look at it though as well, like offseason wise, Yeah,

444
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: he was here in the building a lot, and he's

445
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: been doing a lot to try to get ready for

446
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: whatever reason. The fact that they identified that that wasn't

447
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: the case on defense, there's a reason at least in

448
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: their eyes, and hopefully whatever, for the rest of the season,

449
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: that progress be made and he can find himself out

450
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: on the field on defense. I think ultimately it's a

451
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: good problem to have. Yeah, well, you're let's just say

452
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: Lewis is our fourth string safety. I mean by the

453
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: looks of it and by the facts that we've seen,

454
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: no puny attended that he is the fourth string safety.

455
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: So Josh Mattel is getting an interception like that says

456
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: a lot about that secondary room. So hopefully that can

457
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: kind of expedite that that learning curve for Lewis seen

458
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: or get over that hump of like, Okay, he's learning

459
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: from three really good safety so when his opportunity comes,

460
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: he's just going to excel higher than the next guy.

461
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: I'd rather have a guy learn and not get burned

462
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: out early than be thrown to the wolves and then

463
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: you know, mentally have hang ups and stuff because he

464
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: feels like he's not where he's supposed to be. So

465
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: many times, GM's coaches, whatever they're like, first round draft

466
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: pick has to be a starter, get him out there

467
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: right away and sometimes and for certain players that can

468
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: ruin them and other people thriving it. For this coaching

469
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: staff and for that secondary to have the riches that

470
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: they currently do and to be able to take their

471
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: time with this kid, hopefully that's a sign that they're

472
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: trying to do it the right way for the long run.

473
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: I totally agree with what you guys are saying. I

474
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: think so I called it over reaction Tuesday because we

475
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: can't overreact too much about these issues or non issues

476
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: or what they were. I mean, I thought the first

477
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: one wasn't really an issue. We still believe that they're

478
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: the Lions. As Denny Green said, they are who we

479
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: thought they were. Of that quote, and now I think

480
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: it's a good time to bring in our guests for

481
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: the week. I'm sure he also believes that the Lions

482
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: are still the Lions. We're not going to ask him that.

483
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: We don't want to get him in trouble, but we

484
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: will ask him a lot of questions about his fiftieth

485
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: career touchdown. Adam Felon coming up next. Well, now, it

486
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: is a pleasure of being joined by the man who

487
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: scored his fiftieth career touchdown in the NFL that ties

488
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: Sammy White for fourth most in team history, mister Adam Delon, Adam,

489
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: thank you for joining the secondly, congratulations. Yeah, I appreciate it.

490
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool. I got to meet Sammy before

491
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: the game alumni weekend, so that was pretty cool. And

492
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: he said, he said, you can tie, but don't break it.

493
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: So I tied it and didn't break it. I hope

494
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: you break it. I think we all hope you break it. Yeah,

495
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it with him in an attendance.

496
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair. Just said to head to tie.

497
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: Do you know you're one of only four undrafted players

498
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: now with fifty career touchdowns. Yeah, So that's like the

499
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: the blessing and the curse of social media is you

500
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: pretty much know everything even when you don't want to

501
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: know about it. But but yeah, I didn't know that.

502
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: I saw that. I think I tied was a Wes

503
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: Welker for fifty touchdowns. But most importantly, we won, and

504
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: that feels a lot better than hitting a milestone. I'll

505
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: say that. Yeah, I mean if you would have hit

506
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: that milestone and then the game was lost on that

507
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: probably hits a little bit differently. It does, for sure.

508
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: I feel like everything hits different when you lose in

509
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: this league. It's just you just put so much into

510
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: this game, and there's so many practices and details, and

511
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: it's such a long journey to get to games. You

512
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: finally get there, it's like, man, it's just so it

513
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: feels so good to win it, and it's really tough

514
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: to lose. So the wind felt great and slept a

515
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: little bit better last night because of that. I know what.

516
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: I was listening to you on the Power Trip earlier

517
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: this week and you were talking about the play. I

518
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: guess in practice you guys had ran it a few times,

519
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: four or five times, the play that you scored your

520
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: fifty your career touchdown on, and uh, it was a

521
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: great depiction of it. So for our fans are listening

522
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: to this, could you could you walk us through that

523
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: play and then that filing after knowing that, hey, it's

524
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: been on social media all week that this is the fiftieth,

525
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: that moment when you found out that, hey, I'm a

526
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: part of history now. Yeah. No, the play we had

527
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: been reponant since OTA's training camp and specifically this week. Coaches,

528
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of told me like, hey, like

529
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: I really feel like you're going to be open on this.

530
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: Throughout the week of practice, we didn't get that look

531
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: in practice. The ball went to different places, so I

532
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: never actually caught that in practice, but um, but definitely

533
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: what we saw on tape, what we had put on tape,

534
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: and previously we kind of ran a very similar play

535
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: to that was a week one. I believe in Justin's

536
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 1: chord on it, and so I kind of had an

537
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: idea if we kind of made it look as much

538
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: like that but maybe a little wrinkle. So they kind

539
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: of felt like, Okay, they're not trying to set us up,

540
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: They're trying to make it look sim or try to

541
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: do the same play but do it out of a

542
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: different thing. And so we did that and literally three

543
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: guys went to Justin and nobody covered me. So thanks

544
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: to Justin, it was my easiest touchdown I ever scored

545
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: my career. So that was It's tough to score in

546
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: this league. It's tough to make plays when you get

547
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: that open and no one actually guards you. It's kind

548
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: of nice. You just mentioned a question I was going

549
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: to ask you, was the ability to have patience in

550
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: this offense, waiting for your moment. It was this was

551
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: kind of your game after really kind of being quiet

552
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. What was it about this

553
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: game plan or being patient kind of pays off in

554
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: the long run for you. Yeah, I've learned it through

555
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: my career. You know. You I always talk about, you know,

556
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: how important experience is. Right when you're a young player

557
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: and people tell you that, you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

558
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: But then when you actually like get to this point

559
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: and you've had some experience, you just there's so many

560
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: little things that you learn throughout the way that that

561
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: can benefit you. And one of the things I've had

562
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: to learn, maybe the hard way sometimes as patience and so,

563
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: you know, just just learning to trust the process, to

564
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: continue to fight, to continue to try to be your

565
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: best whether the results are there or not. And I

566
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like that stuff does, like you said,

567
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: pays off in the long run. You just have to

568
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: continue to try to do your job and not change

569
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: your game because you're not getting the results. So there's

570
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: definitely things that I'd like to take back from that game.

571
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: There's some plays that I wish I would have done

572
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: a little differently, But but yeah, definitely feels good to

573
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: get in the mix and to try to help this

574
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: team win and that's the ultimate goal. Kevin O'Connell made

575
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: a comment after the game about how he had to

576
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: somewhat go unscripted based off of like, hey, this was

577
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: our game plan going into the game, and then towards

578
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: the end of the game was like, hey, we're going

579
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: to put this in And a lot of fans overreact

580
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: and say, like, oh, Kevin just drawn plays up in

581
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: the dirt. But these plays are planned. Even some of

582
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: this improvisation plays their plan. So for you as a receiver,

583
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: do you prefer being able to improvise or when a

584
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: script it to go to a certain player and it's

585
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: just pure progression one, two, three, Yeah, I wouldn't say

586
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: so when coach says that, I wouldn't say it's like

587
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: just like drawn plays up. You know, these are plays

588
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: that we've practiced since OTA's training camp, So we have

589
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: this massive playbook right that we've had all OTAs in

590
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: training camp, and then each week you put a game

591
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: plan and so you take maybe this massive playbook you

592
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: cut in half or maybe even less than that, and

593
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: that's your game plan. So it's not like he's going

594
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: there and just throwing stuff up that we've never done before.

595
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: It's stuff that we've had tons of practice and reps at,

596
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: and so it's not really like you're just making stuff up.

597
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're going outside and maybe your game plan

598
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: because you get different looks in this league. It's it's

599
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: not the same just cover two defense or cover three

600
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: or man to man. They're throwing wrinkles at you to

601
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: try to take you off your game. So you kind

602
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: of have to have that ability to do that, and

603
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, this staff does a great job of communicating

604
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: with one another and trying to find the best way

605
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: to execute when things maybe aren't going the way that

606
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: we planned it to be. Speaking of that playbook, a

607
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: lot of the conversation leading up to this was it's

608
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: it's fun, We're having fun playing football. It's a big playbook.

609
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: We have to know so much. How do you feel

610
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: like that's now translating week three or at least three

611
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: weeks now into the season. Yeah, I think it's a

612
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: work in progress. You're still just trying to figure out

613
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: how to navigate this offense, how to make it our own,

614
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: what we are as an identity. You know, we have

615
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: an idea of who we are in our identity. But

616
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: I feel like the more games that we stack up,

617
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: you start to realize, Okay, well I would have done

618
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: it differently, or I should have done this differently. And

619
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: now next time we get that, look, I'm going to

620
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: do it, do it the right way. And you start

621
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: to stack those games up, you start to learn from

622
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: some of the mistakes. Luckily, when you win, it's a

623
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: little easier to learn from your mistakes because it doesn't

624
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: feel like it costs the game. But you know that

625
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 1: you have a sense of urgency to clean it up

626
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: because you know it's so difficult to win in this league,

627
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: and you know that you know it's just little things,

628
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: little details that sometimes are the difference between maybe a

629
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: first down or maybe not getting the first down and

630
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So so just continue to clean things up.

631
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: And it's exciting. You know, we've had, like you said,

632
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: we have so much fun in this offense, and it's

633
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: such a great offense to be a part of. But

634
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: it's exciting that we haven't really put our best foot

635
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: forward out there yet and our two and one, and

636
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: we got the next one coming up in London and

637
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: you've already you've got previous history of playing out there,

638
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: You've scored playing in London overseas, and just understanding that

639
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: the sleep pattern is going to change. How true is

640
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: I guess in years previous sleep number gave you gave

641
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: every player like time by time of night, what time

642
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: and what night you should go to sleep? How true

643
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: is that? And how beneficial is that going into a

644
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: week like this? Uh, do you want a real answer? Yeah,

645
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: be honest, No, I do remember last time that we

646
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: went over there and we did get a bunch of

647
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: information about that, but it kind of goes out the

648
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: window when you get there. You're like, well, it's yeah,

649
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: you try to do it to your best of your ability,

650
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: but at the same time, like your body is just

651
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: your body, like it's it's gonna do what it's gonna do.

652
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: You try to use some of the tricks like talking

653
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: about like making sure that the curtains are completely closed

654
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: so you don't see that light and wake up, so

655
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: you kind of just stick on this time zone, especially

656
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: coming back after not having a buye going right into

657
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: a game, so not trying to switch time zones twice

658
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: your body at least. So I think there's definitely some

659
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: little things, but for the most part, you know, you

660
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: get over there, they do a great job of scheduling. Hey,

661
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: the flight, you're gonna fly overnight. You're gonna get there

662
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be morning time there, So just trying

663
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: to really just match that up. Sleep on the plane,

664
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: wake up, do your whole thing the whole day. You're

665
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna be tired that next day, but do your whole

666
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: thing and then go to sleep. But it's it's an

667
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: interesting deal because I remember last time we went and

668
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: in the game, you'd almost felt like you were in

669
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: like a different world, like like you just kind of

670
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: felt a little like like, Okay, I'm not really all here,

671
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: but I'm still playing football, so let's let's figure it out.

672
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: That's funny you say that, though, because even though you

673
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: felt in a different world, you had a great performance

674
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: last time you were there. You had the I mean,

675
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: as they would say in England, you were the man

676
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: of the match. Do you. I mean, it worked well

677
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: for you. So whatever you did, are you planning on

678
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: repeating how you got through that or is this some

679
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: staff providing you different ways to be prepared. Yeah, they're

680
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: they're providing us with some different ways and I'm definitely

681
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna try to do that. And at the same time,

682
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, as athletes were very used to I guess

683
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: or it's it's kind of just a natural thing for

684
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: us to handle change because it happens every game, every day,

685
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: every week. There's just so much about being an athlete

686
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: that you have to adapt and overcome. So this is

687
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: just another one of those experiences where you just have

688
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: to adapt and overcome. There's gonna be something off. I mean,

689
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: there's days, let's just let's just be honest. There's days,

690
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: there's games, there's practices that you don't feel great, but

691
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You got to fit out away to

692
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: put your best foot out there, and you just kind

693
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: of got a grind through it. And it's probably gonna

694
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: be one of those games. And we got to understand

695
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: that they're feeling the same way, so just figure it

696
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: out and do your best. We were doing. We had

697
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: a meeting this morning. Tatum myself and a few other

698
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: people when I were meeting in One person Craig Peters,

699
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: he said, our staff writer. He said, one thing about Adam,

700
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't save game ball, So like milestones, like certain things,

701
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: you don't say you've saved what three or four balls

702
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: in your career, and maybe did you save the fiftieth?

703
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: I did, so they they you know, everybody was talking

704
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: about this fiftieth touchdown and all that, and I had

705
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: to do interviews on just for you know, before so

706
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,239
Speaker 1: before it actually had when it happened. So it's like

707
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: we had all this stuff and we had been talking

708
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: all week that when when we score, we got to

709
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: get ed Ingram to spike it because number one, they

710
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: get fined them for doing that, and then number two,

711
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's a rookie. It's pretty cool experience

712
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: for those guys. You know, they don't get the ball

713
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: in their hand very often, so for him to spike it.

714
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: So I'm looking for Ed to give him the ball

715
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: to spike it, and he said he was too hi,

716
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: So he's getting ready for the field goal. He was

717
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: already in the field goal huddle. So he's no one

718
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: we find that like, oh, that's right, I'll keep this ball.

719
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: So I did. I did keep the football, but again,

720
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: the team wins feel a lot better for me. A

721
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: game ball that i'll keep is if we went a

722
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: super Bowl, I'll keep that ball. So let's let's work

723
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: on that. You kept the London one right from two,

724
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: I got a man of the Match, Mine of the match.

725
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: I got one of those balls and that's in my

726
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: little little display case. So yeah, because you had the

727
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: epic soccer celebration too, you went all in. Yeah, heck yeah.

728
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean my wife she played soccer high school, college,

729
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: so you know I kind of been around the game,

730
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: remember watching a ton of her games in college, and then, uh,

731
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: my boys play soccer now, so you know, I always

732
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: got to get in the soccer spirit. I went to

733
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: an Arsenal game last time when we're there, which was

734
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: such a cool experience and actually made me a soccer fan,

735
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: which I was never a soccer well, but that game

736
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: made me a soccer fan because it was so it

737
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: was the atmosphere was insane. Um it honestly blew out

738
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: any NFL game I've ever explained, So it was pretty cool.

739
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: So do you view London as a primetime game. As

740
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: a player, I know every game, Hey, it's just another game,

741
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: but like, would you consider this like a big time

742
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: outside of like it being the Saints, Like is there

743
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: any extra value to this game. I've never really understood

744
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: the like primetime thing, just because like when you're on

745
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: the football, figure you're not thinking about like, oh it's

746
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: prime time, like everybody's watching, Like you just don't like

747
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: leading up to the week. Yeah, it's cool like Monday

748
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: in football, Tonay of football, Thursday football, it's all. That's

749
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: all really cool. But like when you're on the football,

750
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: if you're not thinking about primetime, you're just trying to

751
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: figure out how to win. And you got across from

752
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: you U. But yeah, so I guess I don't really

753
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: think about that too much. I think we're more worried

754
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: about the time change this time around too. Yeah. I'm

755
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: a little worrisome myself. I don't even have to play

756
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: the game, so I feel pretty lucky about that. Yeah,

757
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can sleep on a plane.

758
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: You have any secrets? Oh yeah, you'll be fine. Do

759
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: you have any like tips? How what do you do melotonin? Oh? Okay,

760
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: somebody awake you up? Sleep we landed Adam here exactly.

761
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad. Well, I appreciate you coming on

762
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: today to the Minniota Vikings podcasts. Congratulations on career TD

764
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: sleep on that point. My gosh, I'm trying to think

765
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: about it. I had today. I'm a little nervous. See,

766
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: when you have kids, you learn, you learned that whenever

767
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: opportunity you get to just sleep, you do it. So

768
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take advantage of it. That's a good point. Well,

769
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Adam. Appreciate your time. Thank you, Nick.

770
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: Thanks to Adam Feelin for celebrating his fiftieth career touchdown

771
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: by coming on the Minnesota Vikings podcast. Loved seeing that moment.

772
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: You don't think that means yeah, thank you Adam. You

773
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: didn't think it was a celebration. Yeah it was. It's

774
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: just like funny how you said it. It's just like,

775
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: thank you for celebrating your fifty of touchdown Minnesota. I

776
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: think I think we were top on his list first

777
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: thing he thought of caught the touchdown? You what heck? Yeah, Minnesota,

778
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: you're going to ask me to be on MVP VP

779
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: exactly it's got to be the first thing he thought of. Yeah,

780
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: obviously there's a lot of sarcasm behind some of the stuff.

781
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: Now we're I love that he comes on. I love

782
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: that he's always willing to do media opportunities. It doesn't

783
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: matter if he's caught fifty touchdowns or zero. Adam Dealen

784
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: never says no to our media requests and it's very refreshing.

785
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: It's great to have a guy like him in your stable.

786
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: You know, we've definitely all dealt with different players who

787
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: are a little more surly and everything. The fact that

788
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: Adam is willing to jump on all these different shows,

789
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: whether it's our stuff, Kafan, whomever, it's great not only

790
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: for the organization but for you know, him as a person,

791
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: just to show his personality and to be able to,

792
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, showcase what he can do. And the fact

793
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: that he got his fifty a touchdown yesterday is primo

794
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: timing for all of us. The fact that Adam has

795
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: a weekly spot on Power Trip every Monday when Loser

796
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: draw that says a lot about who he is as

797
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: a person. That he's always willing to do things and

798
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: he's he's very polished. Let me put it, that way. Yeah,

799
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: he's I think, you know, as a guy who gets

800
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: all the questions. He gets the same questions. Is like

801
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: growing up in Minnesota. What's it like playing for your

802
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: hometown team? You played at Mankato watch you know those

803
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: kind of things. There are certain answers that you can

804
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: give for that, and eventually you get to a point

805
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: where you can get kind of cold for a lot

806
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: of people when they get the same questions all the time.

807
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: He tries. It feels like to give a thoughtful answer

808
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: whenever you do talk to him, and that's very refreshing

809
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: when working with a guy like that. So it's nice

810
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: having him on the show. Yep. They make our jobs easier,

811
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: which is really great. So does winning. And you're two

812
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: and one. Vikings are now headed overseas to try and

813
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: do a little bit more of that. We turn the

Speaker 1: of redundant, wasn't it. It works across the pond. This

821
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: would be overseas technically, Yeah, you're across the pond. Yeah. Anyway,

Speaker 1: back here on the States game, what's I'm overconne I'm

823
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: over here overthinking. I'm like us the punt. I was

824
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: just trying to throw on as many London puns as

825
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,600

826
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,000

828
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:19,200

830
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: good be emotional hangover, folks. Asteris emotional hangover. All right, Gabe,

831
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: what you got going on this weekend? And we have

832
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: another episode of the Audible. Yeah, we got Josh mun

833
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: tell Us, the guy we were just talking about who

834
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: had the game selling interception on Sunday against the Lions.

835
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: He'll be teamed up with this opposing starting safety this

836
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: past Sunday, cam buying them. So to be good to

837
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: get both of those guys on if you know, well,

838
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of people don't know Josh mun

839
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: tell us, No, I don't think so. So he is

840
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: a character and he has a lot of personalities, so

841
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: I think it will be a lot of telling him

842
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: to stop talking versus talk. So, uh, stay tuned to that.

843
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: And then um, we'll be taping the second edition of

844
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings podcasts across the Pond in London. I'd

845
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: be Tatum, you, myself and Chris Carter. So that'll be

846
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It'll be fed about that live

847
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: ish yeah, I mean we're gonna it's live to tape, yeah,

848
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: but with the live crowd. Yeah that's why. Yes, yes,

849
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 1: So it'll be a crowd. It'll be at the Bear

850
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: Boy and Banker Pub in London, and yeah, it should

851
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: be fun. Hopefully there'll be some fans from here from

852
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: back in America as well as UK Vikings fans because

853
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: we follow a taping of the Power Trip. I think,

854
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: so hopefully hopefully that Banana's crowd stays hangs out with

855
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: us in Chris Carter and then you guys who can't

856
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: make the trip can listen to it on Friday at

857
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: six o'clock. That'll be great. Yeah. I think one thing

858
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: that's passionate for the fans over there is the fact

859
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: that if your hometown or your following team is going

860
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: to actually be in your hometown, in your backyard, you're

861
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: gonna make every effort. One thing that's also kind of

862
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: cool about the UK games is that you get fans

863
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: who are just fans a football period, who are showing

864
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: up to these kind of events where in whatever Jersey

865
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: because it's the NFL in their backyard that they don't

866
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: get to see very often. They get to see it

867
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: maybe once a year. So you're probably going to get

868
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: a whole smattering of whether it's Vikings fans, NFL fans, whatever,

869
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: showing up. And you might even get some townies sitting

870
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: there in the pub too, just checking out on what

871
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: the heck's going on. Isn't this bar Saints bar? Also,

872
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: So what happens is because the NFL has all these

873
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: relationships in town, it is an NFL bar. I don't

874
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: think it's the Saints bar, but the NFL it may

875
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: have previously been okay, but the NFL picks pubs, it

876
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: assigns them to us. So basically this one is, you know,

877
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: they know that they can accommodate these crowds that we're expecting,

878
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: and so they assigned us this pub. So it may

879
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: have been previously, but I do not think we're sharing it. Okay,

880
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: that's good to know that. I don't think that would

881
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: go very well. You're right, you're right, especially with how Yeah, yeah,

882
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's just buy somebody a pint

883
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: and they get pretty friendly at that point, which is

884
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: funny as I So we had some Love Island UK

885
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: guys while it was a guy and a girl at

886
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: the game this past week, and one of the questions

887
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: I asked them was, what's the difference so far that

888
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: you've experienced between American football fans and football fans And

889
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: they were like, well, you guys are mingling together, okay,

890
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: Like you're sitting by each other. There's fans from the

891
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: other team, like sprinkled in with your fans. They're like

892
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: when it's in like if like UK football, they're on

893
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: opposite sides, they do not sit by each other. And

894
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, interesting. Yeah. I went to

895
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: a Tottenham Chelsea game when we were over there the

896
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: very first time, and yeah, we were in the Tottenham

897
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: section and you could definitely tell there was literally security

898
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: guards slash cops lining the aisles to make sure there

899
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: was nothing going on between the two different sections that

900
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: are right across the aisle from each other. So yeah,

901
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: it's a different vibe, but it's a lot of fun

902
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: and I think more than anything, these games are always

903
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: the celebration of NFL football, Yeah, especially over there, and

904
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: it's always fun to see the game grow over in

905
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: the UK. We've talked about the history between the Saints

906
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: and the Vikings, and I think that will be on

907
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: full display on this week's episode of The Tailgate Jay.

908
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,920

Speaker 1: to being able to share some of the stories that

916
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: he's got, especially given the rivalry that this has turned

917
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: into between the Vikings and the Saints. Yeah, I can't

918
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: wait to hear that back and forth. It's always spirited, right, Yeah,

919
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: I think The best part is though, I think it's

920
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: really friendly. But as a comedian, you know you can

921
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: find different ways to look at the situation and look

922
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: at your team and then look at the rivalry. I

923
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: know that New Orleans in general is not one of

924
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 1: size favorite places, so I am very curious to see
