1
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: It was a slump busting Sunday at US Bank Stadium.

2
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings snapped a two game losing streak and

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: beat the Indianapolis Colts twenty one to thirteen. Welcome to

4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: the postgame report with the Vikings radio network analyst Pete Bursag.

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Allen. Twenty one to thirteen a game. Josh

6
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: Oliver had a career high in five with five receptions.

7
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold threw a couple of picks. They couldn't get

8
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: to Joe Flacco until the end of the game when

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: Jonathan Grenard had a couple of sacks.

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: Vikings win by eight. Your thoughts, Well, the defense answered

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: the call today. They definitely rebounded. They definitely did not

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: like the last two performances. And for the Colts, they

13
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: really only scored six points on the Vikings defense all

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: night right, and we limited them the only two hundred

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: and twenty seven total yards, only sixty eight.

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: On the ground.

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what we thought, is that they

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: were going to take Jonathan Taylor and pound the rock,

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: make a quick passing game, only one hundred and fifty

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: nine yards passing net interset.

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 3: You know, a couple of turnovers.

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: I mean the defense really, I think answered the call

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: of Dallas turners out there making plays. Grenard's making plays.

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: They figured out how to live without Cashman, right, They

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: figured that whole thing out, and the defense had a

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: swagger about it tonight that it hasn't had over the

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks.

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: Well, Josh Oliver had a touchdown. He now has three

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year. That's a career high for Josh Oliver,

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: and he complimented Jefferson beautifully. Justin Goes seven catches one

31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: thirty seven, Jordan Addison five forty two to one, and

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold finished the game twenty eight to thirty four,

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety yards, three touchdowns and two picks,

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: and also was exit was operating behind an offensive line

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: that featured Cam Robinson at left town a Christian Darosol

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: lost for the season in that Rams game. Cam Robinson

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: he got here, like seventy two hours ago, play pretty

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: well and I love.

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: The swagger at least to play where he followed Aaron

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: Jones out of bounds and was there to help pick

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: off people off the pile. I mean, that's an attitude

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: that we love. But for a guy that just really

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: his bags probably aren't even unpacked yet, and he's out there,

44
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: you know, firing a bullet for this offense.

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: I think that's fantastic.

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: Now he gets to go back down to Jacksonville, the

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: team that just got rid of him, right, so we've

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: got the revenge factor there. He knows that team very

49
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: very well. That's going to be interesting. So overall, Paul,

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: just the time of possession is something we've struggled with

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: that the entire season, and today we tonight we just

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: absolutely dominated The Colts. Came in last in the league

53
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: in time of possession, averaged only twenty six minutes. We

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: held onto the ball for thirty six, almost thirty seven

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: minutes of this game. That's why the end went the

56
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: way it did. That's why we were able to get

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: ten twelve fifteen yards a chunk running the football.

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: That is it's an old school kind of way of

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: doing it.

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: It's we're used to seeing it with the Adrian Peterson bit, right,

61
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: we grew up watching teams just get worn out and

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: then have Adrian run roughshot all over them. I mean,

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: look what happened in the second half of the Chargers

64
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: game when he put up two hundred and fifty four

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: yards on the ground in one half of a football game.

66
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: So it's just a little more patience on offense.

67
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: I'd love that we go for the juggular, but when

68
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: you're taking those risks, be a little bit more careful.

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: I think Donald for sure through two bad picks today,

70
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: right both. I don't think either of them were very good.

71
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: Great Flaco at least, you know, responded with one of

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: his own.

73
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: But we survived it. We got through it.

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: When the defense is playing the way that it is,

75
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: it's going to give Donald at least some type of

76
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: calm where he can overcome these things and learn and

77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: get better. So overall, you left JJ one on one,

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: we burned you. You didn't pay attention to Addison. He

79
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: was unbelievable in the red zone and putting up one

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: of the touchdowns. Oh, by the way, Josh Oliver, you

81
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: guys are all worried about Hackinson.

82
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: Well we got eighty four.

83
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: You know it just a very well planned out and

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: executed game plan.

85
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: I think on both sides of the ball, Tonight.

86
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Well and Justin Jefferson seven catches one hundred and thirty

87
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: seven yards on nine targets.

88
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: Now, he is.

89
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: He's one yard shy of passing Adam Thielen for fourth

90
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: all time for receiving yards in the history of Vikings football.

91
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Pretty good for Justin who came into the league in

92
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Jefferson, by the way, also had a completed pass.

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: He was one of one passing for twenty two yards

94
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: and when the on side kick mattered everything at the

95
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: end of the game, Colts kicked it to the right.

96
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: It was Justin Jefferson who hauled it in. Now, speaking

97
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: of receptions, Pete Sam Darnold hit nine different guys, Jefferson

98
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: Oliver with five, Addison with five, Hawkinson with three, Jones

99
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: with four, Powell and Sherfield Senior each with one. Cam

100
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: Akers caught a couple. Jalen Naylor caught one and it

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: was a touchdown.

102
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: Right, and so you know for Jalen Nale or that's

103
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: his fourth touchdown in the year, I believe already. So yeah,

104
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: you know what I did like though, is just the

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: just the rapport between he and Hockinson. Hockinson was in

106
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: some zones and settled in there and Darnold got the

107
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: ball right to him. It's like it's almost as if

108
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: they'd been playing together for a while. There was no

109
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: rust to be knocked off on, you know, in that situation.

110
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: So I mean through the air, if we could just

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: keep the blocking up front solid and Paul again, I

112
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: go see, I go back to what happened in the

113
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: first in the first half, went to Forrest Buckner and

114
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: Grover Stewart were just killing us up the middle, just

115
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: killing us well, time of possession, time of possession, running

116
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: the ball round, the ball, hand down the I didn't

117
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: we didn't hear. We didn't hear a thing from Quitty

118
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: pay deo a dangbo u la to. We've not a

119
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: thing from any of their outside linebackers, and so we

120
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: us wearing them down up front allowed us to throw

121
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: the football without a lot of pressure in the second hand.

122
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: So the way we won this game excites me.

123
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 3: Obviously.

124
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: It's because it's a little bit it's a physical type

125
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: of a win, and we're not you know, we don't

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: always win that way, but this game, we physically won

127
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 2: this game.

128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: It was a final of twenty one to thirteen. Kevin

129
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: O'Connell is now to and zero against the Indianapolis Colts

130
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: in his third year coaching the Minnesota Vikings, and Kevin

131
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: had this to say after the game.

132
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 5: All Right, proud of our team. You know, adversity absolutely

133
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 5: something that I was. I was proud of the way

134
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 5: we responded. There's a lot of there was a lot

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 5: of things that we really wanted to emphasize, starting with

136
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: our defense. I thought they were really the backbone tonight

137
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 5: for us, not only forcing turnover turnovers with Murph and Harry,

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 5: but just the way they were able to answer the

139
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 5: bell even on a short field there in the second half.

140
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 5: Credit to Flow his staff and all of our players

141
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: for that, for that effort. Thought our team limited penalties.

142
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 5: I don't think we had any pre snap things offensively,

143
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 5: really tried to obviously emphasize that. I know it's been

144
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: talked about at length, but a good example, Uh if

145
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 5: if we at least start there, I think we averaged

146
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: almost six yards of play, moved it all night. Uh,

147
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: some critical turnovers and and and then we've got a

148
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 5: even against a good front with a new you know,

149
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 5: new left tackle. Still the expectation is, you know, just

150
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 5: to protect Sam a little bit more, give him an opportunity, uh,

151
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: to keep you know, getting the ball out of his hands.

152
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 5: Thought there were some huge performances from Jets. I loved

153
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 5: the way, uh, you know, Cam Akers popped a little

154
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: bit coming in there, really showing what what he's capable of.

155
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

156
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 5: And then you know, Jordan Addison's catch was one of

157
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 5: the better catches over there on a in a pretty

158
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 5: critical moment coming out of coming out of half wanting.

159
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 4: To get seven.

160
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 5: Josh Oliver was huge, critical touch, the catch everybody's.

161
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: Going to talk about at the end in four minute.

162
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 5: But I thought he was a fantastic block or as

163
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 5: he always is, physical all night long and was really significant.

164
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 5: Give credit to Cam Robinson showing up here about seventy

165
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 5: two hours ago and played a lot of snaps for us,

166
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 5: and once again just to Quaycy and his staff.

167
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: Are getting that done.

168
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 5: The feeling you have as a head coach when you

169
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 5: can bring in a player like that on short notice,

170
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 5: trust your staff, but also just being very thankful for

171
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 5: Quas getting that done. And then TJ. Hockinson just unbelievable

172
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: seeing eighty seven run out on the field and be

173
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: part of this thing because he's a foundational player for

174
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 5: us in this organization.

175
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 6: Having that first the first drive in the second half

176
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 6: when you had. Is that kind of how you envisioned

177
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 6: because you haven't had TJ at Jordan and at Jefferson

178
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 6: all together.

179
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 4: I think it was only like the sixth time maybe,

180
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 4: but they've played the entirety. Yeah, the first drive, is

181
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 4: that how you see it going?

182
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 6: I mean JJ had the big catch and TJ hadn't

183
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 6: want and a Jordan kind.

184
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 4: Of finished it off. Yeah.

185
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 5: I mean, to me, those three guys are who we

186
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 5: want to build our offense around, with Aaron Jones and

187
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: and our running game being a major part of what

188
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 5: we want to do. I thought, I know, Sam had

189
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 5: you know, a couple a couple turnovers mixed in there,

190
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 5: and really the you know, I did think that there

191
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 5: was a potential discussion to be had on the play

192
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 5: with the the fumble, just with the you know, the

193
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 5: conversations ongoing just to you know, get a little more

194
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 5: clarity on the protection of our quarterback versus you know what,

195
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 5: what the standard may or may not be. But I'll

196
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 5: continue to get that clarity and coach my guys up

197
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: how we need to do it to uh, you know,

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 5: to move the football. And turnovers were big, but yes,

199
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 5: I would say for me, we've.

200
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: Got a lot of weapons.

201
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 5: We just need to continue to trust in the fact

202
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 5: that the next play, if we get eleven guys executing,

203
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 5: we're going to have a good play and then stacking those.

204
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 5: I thought our third down execution getting to fifty percent

205
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 5: for the day was critical, including you know, Speedy on

206
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 5: that on his touchdown catch, which was really nice execution

207
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 5: by the guys, and Sam specifically hanging in there and

208
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 5: making a big time throw coverage.

209
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 7: Looks you guys got on for Justin tonight. When you

210
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 7: see the one on one coverage, what kind of goes

211
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 7: through your mind whenever that pops up?

212
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we go.

213
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 5: We go a few snaps now in some games without

214
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 5: seeing it, so you know, I I normally try to

215
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 5: hide you know, my reaction to it when we break

216
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 5: the huddle and I can tell what may about what

217
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 5: may might occur, Ben, But yeah, it was a critical

218
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: moment for Sam and him to pitch and catch on

219
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 5: that long throw, getting us down there and ultimately get seven.

220
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: But Justin I thought was phenomenal.

221
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: I really felt him all game long from a leadership standpoint,

222
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 5: which is, you know, phenomenal to see along with Bo

223
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: and CJ Aaron Jones in that huddle. We've got you know,

224
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 5: we've got some guys that I really lean into and

225
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 5: rely upon really across our whole team, very.

226
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: Fortuate to coach this football team.

227
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 6: That Sam's game in totality with everything that he did.

228
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean twenty eight to thirty four through a

229
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 5: bunch of completions, was was very accurate, had some critical

230
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 5: pitching catches for some huge kind of.

231
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 4: Igniting plays for us.

232
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 5: You know that first drive, he's trying to make a

233
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 5: play off schedule there.

234
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 4: Got to go back and look at it.

235
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 5: But they played zone coverage split safety like we saw

236
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 5: the majority of the night, and he's just moving a

237
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: chance to you know, possibly find Jalen Naylor out in

238
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: the flats.

239
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 4: Late in the down.

240
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 5: But he's I want him to be aggressive on those

241
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 5: scrambles because he's a very talented thrower. Might have just

242
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: left that you know a little short there. If you

243
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 5: can get it up and over the defender, maybe TJ

244
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 5: has a shot at it. But once again, gonna be

245
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: my trust in Sam is something that I think is

246
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 5: going to be a winning edge for our football team

247
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 5: and to win a football game. When we lose the

248
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 5: turnover battle, that means your quarterback played well. That means

249
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 5: there was some plays to be made. Twenty nine first downs.

250
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 5: We moved it and just stayed the course. Although you'd

251
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 5: like to see us be able to capitalize on the

252
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 5: defensive performance and you know, not have zero points at halftime,

253
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 5: but proud of the twenty one in the second half,

254
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 5: Proud of the way our guys.

255
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 7: Battle the officials after the funnel. What explanation did they

256
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 7: give you for why to.

257
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: Pick that flag up?

258
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

259
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 5: They you know, they it seemed to be they were

260
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: concerned about whether it was a face mask or not.

261
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 5: I you know, that was not part of my argument.

262
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 5: I just thought that there was contact to the head

263
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 5: and neck area of the quarterback.

264
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 8: You have a next stretch after halftime when you go score,

265
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 8: stop score, and we saw that a lot from the

266
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 8: five mis star in that Avalanche game.

267
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's still in this football team, Dane. It's still

268
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 5: very much a part of who we are. Look, we

269
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 5: lost we lost two very tough games in five days,

270
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 5: one of which we went to the West Coast, you know,

271
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 5: four days after losing to the team that's the top

272
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 5: of the division and a really good football team that

273
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 5: we were right down to the wire, trying to win

274
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 5: in front of our fans at home against Uh, you know,

275
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: I got to make sure I continue to do a

276
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: better job. It starts with me always. But I do

277
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 5: know this, I do know our guys had a great

278
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 5: week of prep. It felt like we were had that

279
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 5: pop back. We're flying around, especially defensively and uh, you know, offensively,

280
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: the execution was improved. I think, you know, I think

281
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 5: there's a lot to pull from this and yet still

282
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 5: have a lot of runway to improve as a team

283
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 5: when we can limit our turnovers and still have that

284
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 5: kind of performance in certain aspects of our offense. And

285
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 5: then I flat out loved the last drive, you know,

286
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 5: really getting you know, they know we're running it. We're

287
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 5: running it Aaron physical guys, you know, winning at the

288
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage. And then right about the time you

289
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 5: you you get a chance to, you know, try try

290
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 5: to throw one in or at least subtly offset what

291
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: they're doing to defend the run, we throw a touchdown.

292
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 5: So big time performance there late by the offensive line,

293
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 5: leaning on people Josh Oliver, Johnny Munt and then to

294
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 5: put it in there, a big time moment. Yeah, hopefully

295
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 5: people saw a guy that knows how to run the football,

296
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: not only just in this offense, but at this level.

297
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 5: I mean the patients, the ability to find space. It's

298
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 5: a good front. It's a good front when they've got

299
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 5: ninety and ninety nine and there we're trying to stay

300
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 5: connected and really try to get some movement. So a

301
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 5: lot of times the subtleness and the patience of the

302
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: back helps those guys stay on those combinations a little

303
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 5: longer we get that movement, jo Mont, you know TJ.

304
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: I thought c JHM gave us some good snaps as

305
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 5: well in twenty one. But to find that space in

306
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 5: there both, you know, by him there, you know, when

307
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 5: he had got a chance to really I think it

308
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 5: speaks to watching Aaron kind of seeing some things and then.

309
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: Go right in there and have it applied.

310
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 5: You know. I thought it was I thought it was big,

311
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 5: and it was great to see him out there and

312
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: doing his thing.

313
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: Second interception is he just maybe going.

314
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: To quick throne.

315
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 5: He's aggressive those dagger throws now, and he throws them

316
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 5: about any as well as anybody I've ever been around.

317
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 5: It's one of his favorite throws. First and ten P

318
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 5: and ten want to stay aggressive as a play caller.

319
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 5: I thought the protection was phenomenal on that play. That's

320
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 5: just you know, as you knows, as great as he

321
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: feels about ripping those dagger cuts, sometimes the defense can

322
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 5: make you say no, check the ball down and move on,

323
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 5: like he did when we needed to throughout the night.

324
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 5: And you know, the twenty eight to thirty four is

325
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 5: you know, speaks to his ability to flat out throw

326
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: the pill. I mean, this guy can throw the football

327
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: and love every aspect of what he's doing within our

328
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 5: offense right now. And I'm sure Sam will be hard

329
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 5: on himself about those two interceptions, but I'm going to

330
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 5: stay aggressive with him because I do think my confidence

331
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 5: in him, which is genuine, it's real. It is, like

332
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: I said, a winning edge for us moving forward.

333
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 6: The broadcast, they mentioned that Bill Rekerd might have had

334
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 6: some like thigh discomfort or or he was uncomfortable or getting.

335
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: Treatment for us or anything there.

336
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, just at some point the first at some point

337
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: in the first half, don't know whether it was a

338
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 5: field goal attempt or kickoff, but he started to feel

339
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 5: a little tightness in there. Definitely something to monitor as

340
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 5: we kind of moved forward, and in regards to that

341
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 5: I probably should have updated you guys on you know,

342
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 5: a couple more injuries out and Pace returning able to return.

343
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: I thought that was huge, you know, as the Green Dot.

344
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 5: One more game without Blake and and Ip just keeps

345
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: getting better and better for us. So outside of that,

346
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: I think, you know, for the most part, we did

347
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: all right tonight injury wise. But yeah, I'll keep you

348
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 5: guys posted on Will. He wasn't, had no flinch and

349
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 5: just he was ready to go if we needed him to.

350
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: All right, coach, thank you, Jacksonville. Next, a strange thing

351
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: developed in this game. Our rookie kicker Will Reiker had

352
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: not missed all year. He missed his first two field

353
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: goals and missed him.

354
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: Both, right, yeah, and but he came back and answered,

355
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: you know, and answered it, so you know, I and

356
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: I even said, sarcastically, we can't have nice things in Minnesota,

357
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: but right, you know, we've we've we've really benefited from

358
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: Riker to all this season. We really could have used

359
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 2: a couple of those field goals tonight in such a

360
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: close game. But hopefully, you know, that's a slump that

361
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: that he can you know, get out of or get

362
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: himself out of and you know, self correct, nothing points

363
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: to the fact that this is anything but a hicck,

364
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: you know, a little bump in the road.

365
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, you know, here we go.

366
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: Say I'm Darnold finished twenty eight of thirty four two

367
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, and

368
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: he addressed the media shortly after the game.

369
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 4: Great team win.

370
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 8: You know, obviously we would have liked to be better

371
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 8: in the first half. You know, can't turn the ball

372
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 8: over the way I did today, first and foremost, but

373
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 8: just a resilient group. Our defense played incredible, I thought

374
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 8: most of the game. And then you know, our offensive

375
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 8: line or running backs or receivers are tight ends. The

376
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 8: way that they were able to block throughout the entire

377
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 8: game really kind of set the tone for the game,

378
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 8: and that was kind of the I felt like the

379
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 8: reason we were able to finish the way that we

380
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 8: did with that last touchdown.

381
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 3: Question, same, you.

382
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 7: Just quickly take us through just the two interceptions and

383
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 7: what maybe you.

384
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 8: Were saying, Yeah, you know, uh, the first one thought

385
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 8: I had to throw to TJ in the back of

386
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 8: the end zone. Just got to get it over that backer.

387
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 8: Just just didn't make a good throw. Just gotta be

388
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 8: careful when I'm down there, you know, knowing that we

389
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 8: have points, especially early in the game, and then the

390
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 8: second one is just a bad decision. Just got to

391
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 8: be able to check that ball down, first down, first play,

392
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 8: the drive, just being smarter with the football that way,

393
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 8: maybe you performance in the game.

394
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 6: How do you sort of look at those two along

395
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 6: with the you know, the touchdown passes and the positive

396
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 6: yards and all that that and the win that How

397
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 6: do you kind of process all of that together into

398
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 6: atality in terms of how you think you did.

399
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, haven't yet, to be honest, you know, I'll watch

400
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 8: the tape and kind of evaluate it.

401
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 4: I felt like.

402
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 8: We played a really clean game as an offense, besides

403
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 8: my turnovers, which was good, you know. I felt like

404
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 8: we were really good with no self inflicted all those

405
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 8: things penalty wise, Like pre snap, I felt like we

406
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 8: were getting in and out of the huddle. Tempo was

407
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 8: really good all day, So we were really really efficient

408
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 8: as an offense that way.

409
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: Just to got to take care of the football.

410
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 7: Touchdown of Josh there. What led you to to take

411
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 7: the high out route on that looks like you had

412
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 7: kind of three levels there, were to go with the

413
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 7: deeper one.

414
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, it just popped, you know, Josh just popped on

415
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 8: that one. So the backer and you know, uh, panic

416
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 8: mode a little bit trying to get back to them.

417
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 8: So just felt the space.

418
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 4: Jordian, what did you see on their play? What'd you

419
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 4: taken faces?

420
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, just felt the again, like I just said, kind

421
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 8: of felt the space, felt the corner kind of come

422
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 8: down on on Aaron in the fly and felt like

423
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 8: I had a good, good window there. And then the

424
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 8: catch was unbelievable for him to be able to snag

425
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 8: that the way that he did, you know, and keep

426
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 8: you know, the ball away from the ground just unbelievable.

427
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 8: Body controled by Jordan that throw to Justin.

428
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 7: I mean how much your eyes light up when you

429
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 7: see kind of single coverage like.

430
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 6: That on him.

431
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, anytime, really, anytime we get that matchup,

432
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 8: if we have the right you know the play called,

433
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 8: you know, it's gonna be you know, a tough cover

434
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 8: for anyone really, for any of our skill guys if

435
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 8: they get a matchup one on one, I feel very

436
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 8: confident about them beating the guy in front of him,

437
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 8: you know, to be completely honest, I underthrow it. I

438
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 8: didn't want to overthrow him. If I had thrown a

439
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 8: perfect ball, he would would have gotten a touchdown. But

440
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 8: you know, just again, he beat him and I just

441
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 8: tried to put it on him as best I.

442
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: Could pick up the play the pumpet.

443
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: That's two weeks of Now, that's a tough calls against you.

444
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, m you know, for for myself, I felt like

445
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 8: I could have held onto the football first and foremost

446
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 8: on that. But those the calls are what they are.

447
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 8: You know, it's not my job to evaluate that or

448
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 8: talk about that. Even so that's really all I say

449
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 8: about it.

450
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 5: You mentioned kind of like you haven't they process that

451
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 5: you were watching the field, Like, how is it hard

452
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 5: for you not to be overly critical on yourself or

453
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 5: do you feel like.

454
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 4: You are or not at all?

455
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like just with the experience you know

456
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 8: that I've had throughout the league of of playing bad

457
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 8: games playing good games, like, it's just you know, you

458
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 8: continue to learn from experiences, and you know, the two

459
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 8: interceptions and the fumble, you know, those are experiences that

460
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 8: I'll learn from. Obviously, great to be able to come

461
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 8: out with a win, but could have easily gone the

462
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 8: other way, and so just understanding that and understanding that

463
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 8: we just got to come back to work tomorrow, continue

464
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 8: to you know, uh work, and stacked days of of

465
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 8: good practice together and get ready for for Jacksonville.

466
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: See what does it tell you about yourself to lead

467
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: on your abilities when you know you have the turnovers,

468
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: you have the call that doesn't go your way, but

469
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: the coach still leads any for the big play in

470
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter.

471
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: Just what does that say about yourself?

472
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we we just got to come back

473
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 8: out and play football. You know, It's it's that simple.

474
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 8: You know, you come out, you make a mistake. Obviously

475
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 8: it sucks, you don't want it to happen, but it's

476
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 8: part of the game and you just got to continue

477
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 8: to go out there and play football.

478
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: Camp Robinson from being in the back of the.

479
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 7: Field, you know, but what you feel like he provided

480
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 7: for for the.

481
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 8: Offense or just an unwavering confidence in the huddle, you know,

482
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 8: with with the way that he was able to go

483
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 8: out there and execute a game plan. Obviously haven't watched

484
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 8: the tape yet, but it seemed that he was very

485
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 8: very confident to be able to go out there and

486
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 8: execute and I felt like he did a really good job.

487
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: The biggest reason you feel like it was smoother from

488
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 4: an operational standpoint, no pre snap penalties. I think that's

489
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 4: the biggest thing that sticks out.

490
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 8: And again, we were able to you know, even in

491
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 8: the first half, we were able to move the football.

492
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 8: We just kind of, you know, kind of idled down

493
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 8: a little bit once we got into their territory. So

494
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 8: we'll just continue to look at the tape and clean

495
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 8: those things up well.

496
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings, on this lump busting Sunday, uh snapped

497
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: that two game losing streak. Now they head to Jacksonville

498
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Losers today to the Philadelphia Eagles. Cam Robinson goes against

499
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: his former team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. As a Pete said earlier,

500
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and Travis etch In and the rest of

501
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: the gang after that the vik The Vikings up three

502
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: consecutive road games at Jacksonville, at Nashville against the Titans

503
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: than a soldier field, all winnable. Nothing's easy in the

504
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: National Football League, but this one was needed this Sunday

505
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: evening to go to six and two.

506
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 2: I can't agree more, especially when you have a situation

507
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: where the Bears lost today.

508
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: The Packers lost today, So you're gaining a game on

509
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: those two opponents.

510
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: You're gonna see all those guys again, the Bears twice,

511
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 2: the Packers one more time, Detroit one more time. So

512
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: any win that you can get is huge right now.

513
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: And to be six and two in this situation with

514
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: these three road games coming up, I mean, don't fall

515
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: asleep on Jacksonville. Unbelievably talented team that's been shooting themselves

516
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 2: in the foot with you know, feet, with turnovers.

517
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: Tennessee.

518
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: They have a very good defense if you're not careful.

519
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 2: They just haven't put the pieces together offensively. The Bears

520
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 2: right now, they're in fighting, right they're in fighting. We've

521
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: seen it on social media and then it really shows

522
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: it to rears. It's ugly ahead and the game day

523
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: against Arizona, so who knows where they're going to be

524
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: in two weeks.

525
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: So it's weird.

526
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: It's not always who you play, but when you play

527
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: them and the Vikings now got to take this thing

528
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: down to Jacksonville and find a.

529
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: Way to win down there. Great job as usual. I

533
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,720
