Last Monday wasn't the best way of doing that. 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: But we're still fairly healthy. So why preston pending button? 8 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: I have faith in the fact that the veteran leadership 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: and the new coaching staff are going to be able 10 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: to get across the message of that was last week, 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: this is this week. Don't let that compound and turn 12 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: into a problem for a week here against the Wiles. 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Minnesota Vikings podcast, brought to you by Pepsi. 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: That's what I like.

They come to town on Sunday. Jay. We'll 22 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: talk about that one later this week, but we really 23 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: need to digest and dissect what just happened on Monday night. 24 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: I was there. Where did you catch the game? I 25 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: was sitting at home in the bunker, sitting and sitting 26 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: on the couch, just trying to get everything ready and 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: enjoy the game as much as I could. You know, 28 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: made some food, and you get to enjoy away games 29 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: a little bit kind of okay, it's more it's more 30 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: of a love hate relationship of not being there. It's 31 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: always fun to be there. It's also the logistics of 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, three slash four flights home from late night 33 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: games and stuff like that on me, oh for sure. 34 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: So those are the things that I don't miss about that. 35 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: And you know, being in the environment stuff, especially if 36 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: you win as amazing, you know, when you don't get 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: the result that you want, those can be some very 38 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: very long nights and early mornings. And so for me 39 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: being at home, you know, there were still responsibilities I 40 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: had last night for some of the content that we 41 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: were putting out. So it's more of a Technically, it's 42 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: a Monday, so you have to like actually get ready 43 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: for the week ahead exactly. And that's the thing too, 44 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: with it being a Monday night game, it tends to 45 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: take some of our production schedule and just condense it 46 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: so things that we would normally deal with on Mondays 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: are now done on Tuesdays. And yesterday, for me, it 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: was kind of a catchup day given that the majority 49 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: of people were gone. But it was nice that, you know, 50 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: we were able to do that and anticipating the game, 51 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: looking forward to it, looking for you know, the fun, 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: high powered, crazy game that everyone anticipated, and it just 53 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: didn't turn out that way. No. I think you said 54 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: you wanted to play catchup, and I think this team 55 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: just couldn't catch up after they dug themselves such a 56 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: large hole right out of the gate. You know, the 57 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: environment was definitely tough. It was one of my first 58 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: NFL regular season games that I've been to. Um, they're 59 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: not lying when they say that Eagles fans are tough. 60 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: It is very difficult. They flicked out off the entire 61 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: ride in and I was like, man, I mean, i 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: I've driven for how you know how many years in 63 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: my life now, and I've never been flicked off this much, 64 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: probably total in my entire driving career. Welcome to Philly fans. 65 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean, man, I was there for the twenty seventeen 66 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: NFC Championship game, and so yeah, there was there's a 67 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: whole different level of crazy fans. You tend to get 68 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: the Philly fans with that kind of an emo. You 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: also kind of get the Raiders fans a little bit 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: that way. Um, there's just different fan bases that that 71 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: ramp it up to another level. And when you are 72 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: in Philly on a Monday night game where they have 73 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: the entire day to pre game if they need to, 74 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure it was a very very spirited and racist 75 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: It was. It was, and obviously because the Eagles are 76 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: a team to watch right now, I mean, the NFC's 77 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: pretty much wide open, and you've got the Eagles now 78 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: two and one of the few in the NFC and defeated, 79 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: and I mean, in every essence of the way, it 80 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: looked like over the last two games they should have 81 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: m They came out, they had a very strong game plan, 82 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: they knew what they wanted their identity to be. They 83 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: changed things up from the week before and they were 84 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: able to stop a team that really felt great after 85 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: week one, and you know, I think the team in 86 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: the second half, well, it's funny. Well let's let's actually, 87 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: before I started, you know, getting into all this, let's 88 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: I figured I'd bring back the vent session from last 89 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: season at least for this physics game. I feel like 90 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: this is a game we need to kind of let 91 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: it all out because we really do have to forget 92 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: about it so fast, for sure, And so I if 93 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: you don't remember, or if you have or if you're 94 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: a new listener, we give each other about a minute 95 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: to kind of let it all out before we think 96 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: ahead to the next week. So, Jay, I'm going to 97 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: put you on the clock for one minute. Sounds good? 98 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: Do you know what you're going to say? Sure? I 99 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: got I mean, here's the thing. There's there's there's a 100 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: laundry list of stuff that Wow, just a laundry list. 101 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: Oh for sure? All right, Okay, hopefully you fit it 102 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: in a minute. I'll count you down three two. One 103 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,119 Speaker 1: frustration part was we anticipated it being a high scoring, 104 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: offensive type game on both sides of the ball, and 105 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: it just felt like you were stuck in the mud. 106 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: The entire game virtually there were turnovers that were caused 107 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: by the defense and special teams. You had a block 108 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: field goal, you had an interception, still couldn't get any 109 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: points off of that. And what was really kind of 110 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: funky you was the fact that all of the points 111 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: were scored in the first half, and it feels like 112 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: the second half you kind of settled in and settled down, 113 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: but you still had opportunities and offensible you could not 114 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: punch those in. You had I believe it was four 115 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: opportunities inside the thirty yard line of the Eagles, and 116 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: you got zero points off of those four drives that way. 117 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: So for us and watching it at home, part of 118 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: the thing is is you don't get to see everything 119 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: that's happening because of the limited scope of the cameras. 120 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: So there are certain things like I was looking for, 121 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: but you just don't see it. So I was frustrated 122 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: trying to figure out why things were happening in certain ways. 123 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: But overall, as a fan watching that game last night, 124 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: it just felt like you got off the bus and 125 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: did not put your best foot forward because you were 126 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: so stuck not being able to capitalize on the problems 127 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: that you caused. I put you on Stopwatch, not Timer. 128 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: So I'm being just as a bad start as the 129 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: vikings for last night. But you did one oh three. 130 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: That's not matter, it's good. Yeah, I will have to 131 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: say that mine has a similar theme. I think you. 132 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: I'll put it this way. That game for me felt 133 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: so much worse than it actually is in the grand 134 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: scheme of things. Sure, I just think with the feelings 135 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: of the week before and this offense and then coming 136 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: out and laying such an egg and seeing all of 137 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: the missed opportunities you mentioned, it was like Philly was 138 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: the better team, but we also beat ourselves in this way, sure, 139 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: And so like the combination of those two things was 140 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: just a recipe for disaster. And like you said, the 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: second half being able to still be in it at 142 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: every point of the game. There were so many sudden 143 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: change plays where you could have made it a one 144 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: score game, It could have been a two score game, 145 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: it could have been a field goal away, Like all 146 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: of these things could have started adding up, and just 147 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: every single time it was like Murphy's Lot, it was 148 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: gonna be bad, it was gonna happen. And so that 149 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: to me was just the hardest thing I don't want 150 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: to get too down about it because I think, like 151 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: I said, it was bad, but it's week two. Get 152 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: it out your system so that you know when you 153 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: meet this adversity, because like we were talking about last 154 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: week with the honeymoon phase, when you meet the adversity, 155 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: that's when you start to prove a kind of a team. 156 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: You are sure. And they just met it head on 157 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: week two. There you go, you're at one oh five. 158 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: Oh look at us getting close. It's it's still early 159 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: in the season. We still have to work out our 160 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: internal clock when it comes to that kind of stuff. 161 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: Internal clock. What is that I got home at five 162 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: in the morning. Yes, welcome to the NFL at never right, No, 163 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: I mean it was it was great. Monday night football 164 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: always a fun, fun thing. I mean, it's kind of 165 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: interesting that they the two games on Monday Night football 166 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: were such a blowout. Well, and both of them were 167 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: on the East Coast, which is even understand that I 168 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: did not understand that because usually they staggered them. So 169 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: you can watch both. Yeah, we've played in the game 170 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: where we were in San Francisco for the late night start, 171 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: and you know that was one of those similar kind 172 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: of a thing where he got home at four or 173 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: five in the morning. But if you really think about it, though, 174 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: like these two matchups last night and four last night 175 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: with the Buffalo game and then our game, those two 176 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: games were fairly premier teams facing each other in that 177 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: and both of them just turn into just kind of blowouts, 178 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: and the home teams were the ones that capitalized on it. 179 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: I know there's been a ton of talk, especially Thursday 180 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: night games, like what kind of advantages it for a 181 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: home team to be playing those kind of games, But 182 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: going into a place like Philly or you know, in 183 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: the other game, going in a place like Buffalo, Yeah, 184 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: on a Monday night game with the fans completely juiced 185 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: up with a chance to be undefeated after two weeks. 186 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: I think they both fan bases were just enjoying it 187 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: last night. I think they're just two fan bases that 188 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: cannot handle the fact that like, are we back? Yeah? 189 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: Are we back? Do you think we're back? It is 190 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: the thing that everybody tends to point at and say, 191 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: is this the time of year that everyone feels like 192 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: they're in it too early? You know, everyone's all excited 193 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: and everything. And we talked about over action week after 194 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: week one, you know, this is week two, and it's 195 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: something that for us we enjoy one year. You've got 196 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: that chance at a potential two and oh start. The 197 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: crazy part was I was really looking back at all 198 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: of the current standings for all the teams. Right now. 199 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: You have three undefeated teams in the AFC, and you 200 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: have three undefeated teams in the NFC, and that is it. 201 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: And so if there's a year that parody wise with you. 202 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: We talk about the NFL, the amount of one and 203 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: one teams that are after two weeks, I think everyone 204 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: tends to feel like they're they're pretty much in it still. 205 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: All right, we got a special appearance on Then the Clocks. 206 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: Right now, Gabe just walked in from winning formula. I'm 207 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: just hopping into a conversation and I just heard Jay 208 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: talk about parody. This is I mean, everybody's just overreacting 209 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: right now because of everything that's going on. Everybody wants 210 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: their team to be undefeated. But there are still fifteen 211 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: more weeks of games to be played, So why why 212 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: panic right now? That's actually the next segment I was 213 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: going to bring up was don't press the panic button? 214 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: And I was going to ask you guys for like 215 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: one reason you think and should not be pressing the 216 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: panic button. You know, there's a lot I listened to 217 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: a lot of what's going on around you know, the 218 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: reactions afterwards, a lot of oh, same old team, same 219 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: old thing we've always gone to see. But I think 220 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: like you got to take a page out of the 221 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: staff when they say, like you can't get too high 222 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: with the highs and you can't get too low with 223 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: the lows, and this is kind of like you've had 224 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: those two case examples so far. But Gabe, if you 225 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: want to tell us one reason why No, that's not 226 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: my panic, but do you want to tell us one 227 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: reason why we shouldn't press the panic button. On top 228 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: of it being just one week, we still don't know 229 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: the identity of this team yet. We've seen flashes of 230 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson week one, outside of the drop. Outside of 231 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: the drop on Monday with er Smith Jr. We saw 232 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: him flash, he had a touchdown. Dalvin Cook is still 233 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: going to be Dalvin Cook. We haven't seen what Adam 234 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: Feeling can do yet in this offense. There's still so 235 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: many viable options on both sides of the ball that 236 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: we could take full advantage of which we can play 237 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: into our favor as the season goes on. So there's 238 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of opportunities for our defense 239 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: to continue to find ways to be successful. Last Monday 240 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: wasn't the best way of doing that. But we're still 241 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: fairly healthy. So why press depending button? No? No, I mean, 242 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: like you said, fifteen more weeks. The teams that are 243 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: sitting at the end of the season last year, if 244 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: you looked at the week too, it's probably a completely 245 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: different picture. That's just how it goes every single time. 246 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: This is the adversity that Kevin O'Connell asked for earlier 247 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: in his press conference. I'm sure he'd love to go undefeated, 248 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: but I think the reality of that is something that 249 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: for most people, with the exception of basically the Miami Dolphins, 250 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: the idea of an undefeated season is not reality for 251 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: most people. And Kevin O'Connell saying that at some point 252 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: he wanted to see what kind of adversity Now, I 253 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: don't know if you would necessarily want to have that 254 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: kind of a show. I think he wants to see, like, 255 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't they didn't play these guys together 256 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: in the preseason, they don't have a lot of like chemistry. 257 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: But if they have chemistry, but they're not you know, 258 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: they're not who they're going to be in like week 259 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: ten through seventeen. Right now, it's not how you start, 260 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: it's the finish. It's the marathon kind of mentality of 261 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: this thing of you feel pretty good after the first 262 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: two miles and then you get to the second two 263 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: miles and you start to feel some makes and pains. 264 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: I think the goal is for these coaches to be 265 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: able to, you know, bring them back in the locker room, 266 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: get him in there, say all right, you know, watch 267 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: the film, learn from your mistakes. Let's get back out there. 268 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: And you've got the Detroit Lions walking in the door, 269 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: who've had, you know, a couple of pretty good showings 270 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: so far in the first two weeks, and you just 271 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: realize that, you know, they're not going to roll over 272 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: for you. So for this team, it's like, yeah, you 273 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: got punch in the mouth. Now you got to get 274 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: back out there and keep going because if if you 275 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: let this one loss define your season, then you are 276 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: truly in trouble. And I just don't see this team 277 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: doing that. We had what four mouths to prepare for 278 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and I feel like a lot 279 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: of our energy was curtailed to that game. That after 280 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: that game, it was like, Okay, now we get to 281 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: find out who this team is, or now we get 282 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: to figure out the word chemistry you just usually, now 283 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: we get to see how this team can bond and 284 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: build that chemistry together, like they are going to be 285 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: times like this later on in the year. So I 286 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 1: would much rather get these losses out now than do 287 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: it against quote unquote America's team next week. I've heard, 288 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: I've read. Yeah, I read a tweet it was like 289 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: the Lions are a few games away from being an 290 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: America's team, And I was like, is that the team 291 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: is crumbling right now? So there is no Yeah, yeah, 292 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: that's another story. Maybe maybe they happen, maybe they are 293 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: making their way up there thinking just America's darlings. I 294 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: like that, but I look out of that at the 295 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: same time as like when you have a team that 296 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: doesn't win often, kind of like the Cleveland Browns years previous, 297 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: or like the Cincinnati Bengals last year, when you have 298 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: a team that doesn't win often, when they actually have 299 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: something that that changes in their favorite teams. Get on 300 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: board with that. You don't really want to see a 301 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: team that's winning all the time, So we haven't been 302 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: winning all the time gas, Yeah, right, So well, I 303 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: think people were really really drinking the purple coolight after 304 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: Week one. Do you guys subscribe to the like hangover 305 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: quote unquote hangover of a Packers win for the performance 306 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: in a Monday night football game. Not necessarily on my end, 307 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: it can be a little bit where yeah, you're, like 308 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: you said, Gabe, you'r geeked for four months to get 309 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: ready for your huge rival and everything week one. But 310 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily feel like this performance was indicative of 311 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: That's why it felt like Jonathan Gannon, you know, on 312 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: the on the Eagles defensive squad, former Viking coach, was 313 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: over there, and it just they had a really solid 314 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: game plan as to how they were going to try 315 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: and neutralize our bigger weapons defensively at the line of scrimmage, 316 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: the point of attack. They were all over Dalvin and 317 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: anyone as soon as the ball is handed off, Like, 318 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: they just they had a very sound game plan and 319 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: it felt like they were flying around the field geek 320 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: knowing that we had put up a ton of points 321 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: Week one, and they just felt like Philly wise, they 322 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: just had that mentality of not tonight, this is our 323 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: house and this is what we're gonna do. Their first 324 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: drive of the game, they lined up with five defensive linemen, 325 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: so they basically were telling us, run the ball if 326 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: you want. And we kind of took that as like, Okay, 327 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna throw the ball, and their defense was like, well, 328 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: we're not going to give you guys any big plays. 329 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: So it was a in a nutshell, it was a 330 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: Kumbaya moment for our team to say that, Okay, we 331 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: really got to go back to the drawing board, go 332 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: sit down in the fire and figure out who we 333 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: want to become as the season goes on. Like, yeah, 334 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: that high of the Green Bay Packers win was great, 335 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: But to your point of the hangover, I feel like 336 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a hangover on my 337 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: part a little bit because I was still on a 338 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: high a little bit and it was like, all right, 339 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: it's Thursday, Like we've got to get ready for another game. 340 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: So I think there's there's a balance in that. But 341 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: I honestly, like I said before, I honestly think this loss. 342 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: It's great for this team right now because it finally 343 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: gets to show us who we can be. The one 344 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: thing for me as well is knowing that Detroit coming 345 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: in the door at home. You're getting your second of 346 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: three division games at home in the first five weeks, 347 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: and if you can get a win over the Packers 348 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: and then a win over the Detroit Lions, that is 349 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: going to be big for your conference standings, even though 350 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: you know you're no longer undefeated after two weeks. I 351 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: just these are some massive games. Philly as of now 352 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: is in the number one position in the NFC East, 353 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: and so for us, you know, it's it. Yes, it 354 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: was a stumble, Yes it was frustrating. Yes, it was 355 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: one of those things where you saw that there were 356 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: opportunities still sitting there that they just didn't take advantage of. 357 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: But for me, the fact that it is Detroit coming 358 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: in the door and you can go potentially two and 359 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: o in your division in the first three weeks is big. Well, 360 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: you can't lose this win because then the lines become 361 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: the division leaders. So hey, I'm saying, the Kiddies are 362 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: The Kiddies are a team that I thought was going 363 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: to jump up five or six wins this season, and 364 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: and you know, you can just play against the fighting. 365 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: See that's the thing. But here's the thing, Like, they're 366 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: a team that has given us fits in the last 367 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, four or five years, even when they were 368 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: a team that was struggling at times, they have constantly 369 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: been a team that has been a thorn in our side. 370 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: Now you have new coaches, but a bunch of those 371 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: players they remember those games and it's not like they're 372 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: going to take them lightly. And especially given the fact 373 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: they've been putting up crazy points and crazy stats for 374 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: the season. You know, the Lions are a team that 375 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: you have to take absolutely seriously because they are rolling 376 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: right now in the first couple weeks. Yeah, the last 377 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: time we didn't take these guys serious, we know what happened. 378 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: So I don't think we'll have any any faults when 379 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: it comes to that. But I will say the staff 380 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: was here overnight. They did not get any sleep. So 381 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: I think that that plan is being developed right now 382 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: and hopefully it's a good showing. Yeah, And that's the thing. 383 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: You know, the coaches can go through and plan as 384 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: much as they want, but the players are the ones 385 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: that have to show up and actually execute. And so 386 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 1: for that being the case, I just feel like these 387 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: guys know what they're in for. They have to know 388 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: what they're in for because a lot of your younger 389 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: players that are coming in here that are rookies, they're 390 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: playing alongside veterans who have been in those dog fight 391 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: games against the lines. And I just don't feel like 392 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: going into those meeting rooms this week that those guys 393 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: are gonna be like, yeah, well it's the lines, we 394 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: can take them serious. After you just scored only seven 395 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: points against the Philadelphia Eagles team. I just feel like 396 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: they're going to be ridiculously hungry. And I know that. 397 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: You know, we did a interview for the tailgate earlier 398 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: and even their fans that we were talking to as 399 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: part of that, we're basically saying like, what are you 400 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: afraid of? And they said, what just happened to you 401 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: guys and your team being at home on Sunday, that 402 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: is something that we are nervous about now. Going man, 403 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: they are going to be very upset on Sunday at 404 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: US Bank Stadium. Yeah. I spoke to a lot of 405 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: players after the game in the locker room, so it 406 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: was all pretty fresh. And honestly, I didn't get a 407 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: lot of the feelings of like they were disappointed, but 408 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: nobody was angry. I think they thought kind of like 409 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: what we've been saying, this is going to be a 410 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: learning opportunity. There were several things at this defense, especially 411 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: when I spoke to Jordan Hicks, there was a lot 412 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: of things about this defense that they learned about themselves, 413 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to communication. And those are the 414 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: kind of things when you have a guy like Jordan 415 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: Hicks and Eric Kendricks, who are the leaders of this team, 416 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: the anchors of the defense, that they acknowledge this and 417 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna help the younger guys. It's gonna be something 418 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: that hopefully fortifies the team instead of divides it. And 419 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: so moving forward, the focus being communication. Playing is one 420 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: unit doing your job, I think is what the defense 421 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: is solely focused on. And you know, Earth wasn't really 422 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: disappointed after the game as well. Obviously he saw that 423 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: there was that missed opportunity. He feels good out there, 424 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: and you know, small plug here, he is gonna be 425 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: the Game Day Live interview this week, so I'm excited 426 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: to hear what he has to say about how everything's 427 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: been going for him, but you know him seeing him 428 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: being targeted, and he has a lot of faith and 429 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: like him and Johnny Mutt and their unit and getting 430 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: more involved, and so I think it's just one of 431 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: those things where like guys, I hate keep repeating what 432 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: you guys said, but you learn from it, you move on, 433 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: happy it's week two and not you know, playing for 434 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: a playoff berth in week sixteen or seventeen to Monday, 435 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: just one game. Good think about this week is that 436 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: last game was Monday Night football, and you get a 437 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: short week to figure out the next opponent, so one 438 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: less day that you have to watch film on your 439 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: previous game. So it makes it a little bit easier 440 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: to just flush and fix it and get ready for 441 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,479 Speaker 1: next week. So I know, healthwise and guys are going 442 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 1: to be a little bit more banged up. But as 443 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: far as the mental aspect of this week, I think 444 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: having a shorter week is good because you kind of 445 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: just want to get last week's taste out of your mouth. 446 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: And I think the thing too, like you brought up IRV, 447 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: you know the idea with IRV having not played you know, 448 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: hardly at all last year, coming in and only being 449 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: week two of this season, you know, I think those 450 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: kind of situations are going to be something that for 451 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: someone like him who has played at a high level 452 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: for a long time hopefully come in and just kind 453 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: of go like, hey, that was week two, this is 454 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: week three, and just keep moving forward. I just have 455 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: a I have faith in the fact that the veteran 456 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: leadership and the new coaching staff are going to be 457 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: able to get across the message of that was last week, 458 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: this is this week. Don't let that compound to turn 459 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: into a problem. For week three against the Lions, it 460 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: wasn't all bad. And one of our better plays of 461 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: the game is our three M play of the week, 462 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: and that is coming to us from someone that we 463 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: love to see haven't seen score since Christmas Day of 464 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
