1 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: We were two days away from the return of Vikings football, 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: as we welcome you to the Friday edition of the 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings Podcast. My name is Gabe Henderson and as always, 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: I am joined by Vikings dot COM's Tatum Everett and 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: producer Jay Nelson.

Coming up on the show tonight, 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: we will be joined by the super talented analysts from 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: CBS Sports, Brian McFadden, who also co host the All 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: Things Covered podcasts with Patrick Peterson. And he's a guy 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: that knows this Vikings squad and Cardinal squad very well, 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: so it'd be good to hear his thoughts later in 12 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: the show. But before we get to him, Tatum, it's 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: only been twelve days since our last game, since we 14 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: faced the Miami Dolphins. And I don't know about you, 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: but for me, twelve days seems like an eternity ago. Oh, 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: you have no idea, you know. This year, I've been 17 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: fortunate to travel with the team, but I couldn't go 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: to the Miami game due to a family wedding, and 19 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: so I feel like it's been eons since I have 20 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: either seeing the Vikings play, been there in person, and 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: I am cannot wait. It's going to be exciting. The 22 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: Ring of Honor ceremony with Jared Allen's going to be 23 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: really cool. I think it's going to be These fans 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: are going to be juiced up. I mean to be 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: a five and one right now and to have so 26 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: much positivity and apprehension. I think maybe you know, like 27 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: what team is going to show up? All We're going 28 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: to see this team that is winning at the end 29 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: of games, Like, is that what we're going to continue 30 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: to see? So I think there's a lot of excitement 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: surrounding this Sunday's game. Yeah, and a lot of excitement 32 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: for Vikings fans who will be at the game on Sunday. 33 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: You talked about Jared Allen being inducted into the Vikings 34 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: Ring of Honor. They are going to be mullets on 35 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: every seat for fans who will be attending the game 36 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: and honor Jared Allen who's getting inducted into the Ring 37 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: of Honor, and Spelan is actually giving out free mullets 38 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: on the concourse at Sunday's game. Soy, multitude of mullets, 39 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: A multitude of mullets for many many Minnesota. No, that's 40 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: gonna multitude of mullets for many Minnesotas multiple. I love that. Yeah, 41 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: But there's going to be a lot of fun, a 42 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: lot of excitement at surrounding Sunday's game. You got a 43 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: five and one Minnesota Vikings team that is looking for 44 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: revenge against the three and four Arizona Cardinals team that 45 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: beat them last year on a field gold miss that 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: Greg Joseph had And I was doing some research earlier, 47 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: and the Vikings have won ten straight home games against 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. The last home loss was nineteen seventy seven, 49 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: and the legendary Tommy Kramer that was the same game 50 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: he threw his first NFL pass. So I'm looking forward 51 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: to the Vikings staying on the right side of history. 52 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: But what's your one big talking point heading into Sunday's 53 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: game that can I guess keep the trajectory of history 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: going well. Twelve days ago, this was not my one 55 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: big talking point. But after seeing DeAndre Hopkins returned to 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense, I think he's just an absolute game changer. 57 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: They looked more confident. Kyler Murray targeted him fourteen times. 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: I believe I mean, it's just he takes away the 59 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: target share for the rest of the receivers. He requires 60 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: attention and still makes plays. To be out for that 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: long and to just kind of be plopped right back 62 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: into the lineup and that be that effective, I think 63 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: is for me the scariest part of the situation. They 64 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: did a lot of work with him in the slot 65 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: as well, which I thought was pretty interesting. He's not 66 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: really used to being in there as much, but it 67 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: was the most he had ever played in the slot, 68 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: which I think is I wouldn't say a weakness for 69 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: this team, but I do think that somewhere that they 70 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: can exploit the middle of the field has been a 71 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: little bit more of Again, I don't want to say weakness, 72 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: because they obviously are getting things done, but it's been 73 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: something they struggle with, and so putting him there, maybe 74 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: not sending him down the field as much might be 75 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of the of a difference maker in 76 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: my opinion. Yeah, there's a cause for concern as far 77 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: as and when you have a future Hall of Fame 78 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver, you know, lined up multiple places on the field, 79 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: and a guy that knows DeAndre Hopkins very well that 80 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: played nickel quarterback that guarded the slot receiver is a 81 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: guy who's going to be our guests on the show 82 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: today and Brian McFadden. But before we get to him, 83 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: there is a lot of concern on how to contain Kyler. 84 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: If you don't contain Kyler, I don't think you have 85 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: a chance of winning this game. And last year pretty 86 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: much proved that Kyler had over four hundred and thirty 87 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: all purpose yards against this Minnesota Vikings team, and dual 88 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: threat quarterbacks have been I would say the Achilles Hill 89 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: for this Minnesota Vikings defense this year. Just think about 90 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurtz or Justin Fields. Both of those guys, if 91 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: you can bind their stats against the Vikings this year, 92 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: they have almost six hundred total yards and two games 93 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: against this Vikings team. So how will the Vikings look 94 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: to rewrite the ship against another dual threat quarterback in 95 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray who's looking to, you know, continue where he 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: left off last year. And one person who knows how 97 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: to contain Kyler Murray is our head coach. Head coach 98 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: in the Minnesota Vikings Kevin O'Connell. During his time with 99 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: the La Rams the past two seasons, he faced Kyler 100 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: Murray seven times. In those seven games, he was six 101 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: and one against the dual threat quarterback. Let's hear what 102 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: he had to say when he addressed the media today 103 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: discussing the Vikings upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. In fact, 104 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: this is I suppose the fourth time you've been preparing 105 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: for the Cardinals in the last eighteen marred year and 106 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: a half. Whatever it is, does that give you anything? 107 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: Just as opposed to an NFC West team, you wouldn't 108 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: see that much otherwise. I think what I have is 109 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: just an inventory of just knowing how how good they 110 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: can be when they put it all together like they 111 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: did against the Saints and can turn the ball over, 112 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: really be complimentary with both sides and special teams. I 113 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: treat each game as its own, try to take whatever 114 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: we can. You know, over the past couple of years 115 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: from me, But teams change so much, schemes change. You know, 116 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: We're different than ultimately what we were in LA in 117 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Our personnel, our schemes kind of 118 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: evolved as we've we've moved along here, and but I 119 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 1: definitely it starts with Cliff and knowing the great roster 120 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: they've put together there. I know what the challenge is, 121 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: especially when they do get it going, and I feel 122 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: like that's exactly where they are right now. Kevin, now 123 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: that you've coached a few games that US Bank Stadium, 124 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: just what is the impact of the noise and just 125 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: that place. The thing that just jumps out of me 126 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: always is just the energy and the feel of the 127 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: crowd from the time we come out for warmups to 128 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: the time we get to go in after what has 129 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: been a really successful start. You know of our home slate. 130 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: I think our team feeds off of it. I know 131 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: the guys that have played here a long time, they 132 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: try to set the tone with our younger players have 133 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: just embrace it. Embrace how special of an opportunity is 134 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: to play in front of our great fans. And then ultimately, 135 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: you know, the things you'll learn about for our defense, 136 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, the communication, the things that go into it. 137 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: We got to be great and try to mimic that 138 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: noise that our fans do provide for our defense and 139 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: make sure all the checks, all the things as part 140 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: of our system to make sure we're the premier look 141 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: defensively for all the things we're going to see that 142 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: requires some elite communication where you're not always able to 143 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: hear each other out there. So we're constantly trying to 144 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: rep that thing and make sure our guys are ready 145 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: to go. But I would never ever want to, you know, 146 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: not have that effort from our fans. They've been special 147 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: and hopefully we can keep giving them reasons to provide 148 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: that atmosphere. Well, there's no easy task for this Minnesota 149 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: Vikings team on Sunday as they face the Arizona Cardinals. 150 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: And someone who knows both the Cardinals and the Vikings 151 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: very well is our guest next on the show. He's 152 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: a two time Super Bowl champion, best friends with Patrick Peterson, 153 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: a guy who you talked to earlier this week, Tatum 154 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, who that interview is on Vikings dot com 155 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: right now, and without further ado, it's Brian McFadden and 156 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: he joins the show. B Mac. How's it going, man? Man, 157 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: it's a great day to be alive, so let's take 158 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: advantage of it. B Mac, I gotta start things off. 159 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: You and P two host a weekly podcast every week 160 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: on CBS Sports. And just knowing him as long as 161 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: you've known him and understanding his story and his history 162 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: and his past when it comes to preparing for the Cardinals, 163 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: his former team, this upcoming Sunday. Do you believe this 164 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: game means more less or the same as last year's 165 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: game when P two played the Cardinals for the first time. Man, 166 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: you know what, if you were to act at that question, 167 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: he would say, means the same, But in my opinion, 168 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: it means more. I felt like it was a big 169 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: deal last year because that was his first time going 170 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: to Arizona as a visitor, playing against the Cardinals who 171 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: drafted him. I felt like it was a big deal 172 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: last year. But he kind of lord any of those 173 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: expectations and basically said, it's just another ball game. But 174 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: come on, I understand publicly he has to say that, 175 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: but me personally knowing him deep down, no, you know, 176 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: it's an issue. It's a big deal. Especially this year. 177 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: It's a bigger deal because number one, the vices are 178 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: rolling right, so you want to continue to stack wins 179 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: on top of wins, and being able to us is 180 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: already important, but being able to do that against the 181 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: team that basically said we don't think you're good enough, 182 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: so we're gonna allow you to test the waters out 183 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: there as a competitor. You want to show them you 184 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: made a bad mistake. That's no different than having a 185 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: normal nine to five. And your former employer said, you 186 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: know what, we don't want you back. Go see what 187 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: else is out there. So now you sign on with 188 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: another opportunity and you want to show your former employer 189 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: you know what, y'all made a bad mistake. Look at 190 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: the numbers that I provided, Look at the viewership that 191 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm bringing into the company, look at the dollars that 192 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm bringing into the new company. Y'all messed up. So 193 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: it's the same mindset. So yes, this is a big deal. 194 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: It's a big deal for a few reasons. Number one, 195 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: that was his former team, right, and like I said, 196 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: he wants in my opinion, he wants to show them 197 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: y'all messed up. I'm still a high level type of 198 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: corner and I'm gonna showcase that on Sunday. And number two, 199 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: you're five to one. You take care of Arizona. You're 200 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: six to one. I mean, you guys are already feeling 201 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: good right now being five and one. The goal is 202 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: to be six to one and continue, Like I said 203 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: to sack Wins on top of wins. Yeah. I actually 204 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: asked Patrick that question yesterday and he did give a 205 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: very similar answer to what you said he would say. 206 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: He did say, though, that the trip back to Arizona 207 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: did mean more than having them come here just for 208 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: the sheer fact of you know, as you mentioned, it 209 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: was his stadium. But he also said that now he 210 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: gets more eyes and looks that this team is doing well. 211 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: He's on a winning team and he's going to get 212 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: the best of every team each and every week. And 213 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: so this week it's DeAndre Hopkins b Mac. What do 214 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: you think about this matchup for Pat? I love it. 215 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: I love seeing good on good. I love the scenes 216 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: two future Hall of Famers go to the two And 217 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: I talked to that about, you know, this matchup earlier 218 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: on our podcast this week. Now, before DeAndre became a 219 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: Arizon of Cardinals, if you go back and look at 220 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: some of the notable matchups between those two, they've had 221 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: some nice battles. When the Hot was with the Texans 222 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: and of course Pat was with the Cardinals, they had 223 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: some real nice battles and of course having battles during 224 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: their card no time together in practice, but I'm excited 225 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: for it. I think seeing how they try to implement 226 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: D hop back last week, he got a lot of targets. 227 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: It's safe to say he's going to be heavily targeted 228 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: once again. So it's going to be a nice battle 229 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: between D hoping Pat PD hoping Cam, you know what 230 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: I mean, because he's gonna move around the football field 231 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: a lot. They're moving around a lot of different places offensively, 232 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: and that has to be the main target that you 233 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: have to understand and know where he is at any 234 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: given time, because it seems like Kyler Murray, you know, 235 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: believes that that's where the ball should go and deserving 236 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: so because the hop is that type of wide receiver. Yeah, 237 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: and seeing that they got Robbie Anderson too to be 238 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: his first game back also, and you say, okay, well 239 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: there's another viable threat for Kyler Murray to be able 240 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: to try to be able to try to exploit this 241 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Viking secondary. But for P two, understanding that his game has, 242 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: in my opinion, his age like a like a Murlow 243 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: or like a Cabernet. How have you seen his game 244 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: of jest over time? Man? Right now, what we're seeing 245 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: from Pat p with the Vikings this year defensively, has 246 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: something has been something I've never really seen. He's always 247 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: been in your face type of corner. Now we're seeing 248 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: him play with space, you know, eyes understanding, and seeing 249 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback playing a lot of off coverage. Off coverage 250 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: is basically when you're playing off the wide receiver, it's 251 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: not bumping run. You know, for such a long time, 252 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: even going back to his LSU days, he was always 253 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: a primarily bumping rung type of corner, in your face, 254 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, putting your hands on him. Now he still 255 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: has that ability. But of course, you guys know, watching 256 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: the defense there in Minnesota, you see both corners oftentimes 257 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: line up, you know, off of the wide receiver. So 258 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: being able to make that adjustment has been, you know, 259 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: a plus for him because now he's playing with three eyes. 260 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: And what I mean when I say free eyes is 261 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: that when you play bumping run, your eyes is directly 262 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: on the wide receiver. You cannot afford to remove your 263 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: eyes any other place outside of your wide receiver. But 264 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: when you play all now you get a chance to 265 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: get the three step read from the quarterback. The three 266 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: step read is basically his first three steps if you 267 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: see his shoulder turn the quarterback shoulder turns. That tells 268 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: you it's a short route. That tells you it's an 269 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: intermedia route. Anywhere between eight to twelve to fifteen yards, 270 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: you might be getting that type of route. But after 271 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: that third step, if his shoulders are still square, now 272 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: you might get a longer route. So when you're able 273 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: to see that and get that nice little cheat code 274 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: from the quarterback, now you can start eliminating routes that 275 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: you may get from the wide receiver. And that's kind 276 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: of what we saw the interception that Pat got against Miami. 277 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: He played with three eyes. He was able to see 278 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: what the quarterback was doing and made a big jump 279 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: on the pass route to be able to come up 280 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: with a nice interception. So that's the difference from Pat 281 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: p from what I've seen in years past because of 282 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: the scheme. We've seen him play with space and he 283 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: has made that adjustment nicely. We'll be back with more 284 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: with CBS Sports analyst Brian Fatham.

Welcome back 292 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Vikings Podcast, presented by Pepsi Gabe Henderson 293 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: here alongside Vikings dot Com statum Everett and producer Jay Nelson. 294 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: Let's jump back into our conversation with CBS Sports analysts 295 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: Bryant McFadden. So, if I'm following correctly, you think that 296 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: he fits this new scheme better than maybe last season. Oh, 297 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: no question. I think the entire defense this new scheme 298 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: better than last year. And what I like to describe 299 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: in regards to defenses, you don't always have to be 300 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: a dominating, suffocating group. Now if you if you are 301 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: that type of group, that's a plus. But in the 302 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: National Football League, if you can play what I call 303 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: elbow defense right, elbow defense is basically bending but not breaking. 304 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: We all have an elbow. You can bend your arm, 305 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: it won't break. If you can play that type of 306 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: defense in the National Football League. You're going to win. 307 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: You're going to win. You will find ways to close 308 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: ball games. Last year, the Vikers didn't play elbow defense. 309 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: They didn't bend, they just broke. That's why we saw 310 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: so many last possession leads leave the Vikings not being 311 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: able to finish ball games because they always broke. This year, 312 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: they're bending, but they're not breaking. That's why we see 313 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: a difference in how the Vikings can finish ball games. 314 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: Last year, it was a horror story in the fourth quarter, 315 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: they found a way to lose. Right this year, it's 316 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: a feel good story. They're finding ways to win and 317 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: they have done so on both sides of the the football, 318 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: offensively or defensively. Both sides have found a way to 319 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: be the closer to close ball games out. And that's 320 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: the unique thing about the Minnesota Vikings. They're what we 321 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: saw against Minnesota is what I visualize from this defense, 322 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: harassing the pastor putting pressure getting sacks. Now, granted, Miami 323 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: was missing a few offensive alignment, but guess what the 324 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: Vikings made them look like. They were missing offensive alignment. 325 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: And I think that's a building stone moving forward, especially 326 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: when you look at the guys that put their hand 327 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: in the dirt to rush the said pastors that you're 328 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: going again. So I think in totality the entire defense 329 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: is benefiting better this year than what we saw last year. 330 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: I think that as a definition of how you explain 331 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: this five and one Vikings team as a as an elbow, 332 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: they've been but they don't break. So Bmac that that 333 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: is a great explanation right there. But when when you 334 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: look at you know, bending but not breaking. Kyla Murray 335 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: is going to try to break this defense as much 336 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: as he can. And my question for you is what 337 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: makes Kyler so dangerous Outside of the pocket? He can 338 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: extend plays. It's already tough as guys for guys in 339 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: the secondary to cover wide receivers, but when you have 340 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: to cover longer than what you anticipate, that puts a 341 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: lot of stress and strain on you because you can't 342 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: just tell your eye off of the man you're covering 343 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: to look to see what the quarterback is doing, because 344 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: you will leave someone wide open. So knowing that you're 345 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: playing against a quarterback that can extend plays, it puts 346 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: a lot of stress and strain on the guys in 347 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: the secondary. But the best way to efface that stress 348 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: and strain from the secondary guys is for the guys 349 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: that are rushing the passer to do so with proper 350 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: rushing lanes, you have to have proper rushing gap integrity, 351 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: meaning honestly rushing the pastor oftentimes when you see quarterbacks 352 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: that are mobile get outside the pocket, that contain guy 353 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: got too busy looking at someone else's job. If you're contained, 354 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: rush what's contained alignment. Don't rush to try to do 355 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: someone else's job who's inside of you, because that's not 356 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: your job. So keep him in the pocket. Kyler Murray 357 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: is at his best when he's outside the pocket. I 358 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: think we would all agree. Not watching any Scotland tape 359 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray, just watching him play ball games, I 360 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: think we will all agree he's at his best when 361 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: he's outside the pocket. Force him to do things that 362 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: he's not good at. I'm not saying good at, but 363 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: he's not as at his best at, which is staying 364 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 1: in the pocket. And also to one cool little nugget, 365 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: when I used to play with Pittsburgh, anytime we played 366 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: against Drew Brees right, and you know Drew Brees was 367 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: a shorter quarterback compared to his peers. He wasn't like 368 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: six three six four six five. He's a shorter guy. 369 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: So what we used to do in Pittsburgh was number One, 370 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: we want to make sure we kept containment. Now, keeping 371 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: containment against Drew Brees was not the same as keeping 372 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: containment against Coyle because Drew Brees was not the same 373 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: athletic individual like that Kylin Murray is. But we wanted 374 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: to keep him in the pocket, and we sent pressure 375 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: down the middle of the defense. You guys know what 376 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: that did. That minimize his passing lanes for him to 377 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: be able to see, because remember he's a shorter quarterback. 378 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: So what we did was we used to always collapse 379 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: the pocket from the interior instead of the perimeter because 380 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: we knew it would be difficult for him to see 381 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: the passing lanes behind the front, behind the second level guard, 382 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: which is the linebackers, and it would put us in 383 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: a better position than the secondary to be able to 384 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: jump on opportunities because he couldn't really see visually. And 385 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: me personally not being a defensive coordinator outside of coaching 386 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: my son's nine flag football team when I played, if 387 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: I played against short quarterbacks, that's what I'm bringing pressure 388 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: down the teeth of the defense, the middle of the defense, 389 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: because you want to minimize the passing lanes that are 390 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: already difficult for him to see anyway because of how 391 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: short he is to say the least. Yeah, Brian, I 392 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: mean that's such a great point, and I think that 393 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: it's all comes down to the details in this game, 394 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: and it's details that really defined the staff so far. 395 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: It is the vikings of the least penalized team. They're 396 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: decent on third down, they're they're improving in ways that 397 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: they were not last season. So what has most impressed 398 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: you personally about this new coaching staff The way they 399 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: relate to the players. I had an opportunity to visit 400 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: Minnesota twice. It was during Mini camp and then of 401 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: course training camp, and every player that I spoke to 402 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: while there, they were so excited about the staff. So 403 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: as a former player, that showed me these guys really 404 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: have bought in to these coaches are selling. And when 405 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: you buy into what the coaches are selling, you will 406 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: see execution, you will see success, you will see consistency. 407 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: One thing about playing the game of football and one 408 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: thing about life. When you respect whoever it is that's 409 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: telling you to do certain things. The best way to 410 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: show that you respect them is by doing what they're 411 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: asking you to do. It's no different than a parent 412 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: and a child. If a child does not respect that parent, 413 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, they're not going to do 414 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: what the parent asks them to do because they don't 415 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: respect them. It's the same in sports. When players respect 416 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: the staff, those players are going to do everything in 417 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: their power to do what is ask of them to 418 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: do because they respect the staff and they know their 419 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: coaches know what's best for them. That's what we're seeing 420 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: from the Vikings. That's why the Vikers are five and one. 421 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: There's a mutual respect within the organization between the players 422 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: and the coaches that has warranted success, that has warranted wins, 423 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: and that's the best needs to have when you're trying 424 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: to assemble a championship like team. And I'm only speaking 425 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: from experience because my time in Disbrook my rookie year, 426 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about the National Football League. But 427 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: one thing I learned during my rookie campaign was number one, 428 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: good coaches have respect from their players. When players respect 429 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: their coaches, they're not just going to play hard They're 430 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: going to do everything that coaches ask them to do, 431 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: and that will warn championship like opportunities. So that's what 432 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's the difference. And I'm not necessarily saying 433 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: there's a disconnect between the staff last year and the players. 434 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: All I'm saying is this staff with these players, they're 435 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. You can tell that togetherness is there. The excitement. 436 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: You guys feel it. You're in Minnesota. You probably feel 437 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: it every day when you walk into the building. It 438 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: feels different. It feels different. Momentum is a funny thing. 439 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Energy is a funny thing. You can't see it, but 440 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: you can feel it. I love it. I feel your 441 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: energy to be back. And I'm just looking at some 442 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 1: of these I guess the two thousand and eight Stiller season, 443 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: when you're on that championship squad, you guys started out 444 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: five and one also, so Vikings fans are excited to 445 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: hear from you and hear about I guess this upcoming season, however, 446 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: this story unfolds for this team.
