Just 58 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 4: how important is it for them this offseason to work 59 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 4: together and try to get on the same page. 60 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, over the last few years 61 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: are the groups of guys have have found ways to 62 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: do that and I think it's really important, especially with 63 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: the calendar the way it's set up now, so you 64 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: can really you know, hit the ground run and when 65 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: the off season program comes around, and whether that's the 66 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: time when these guys you know, get going, when you know, 67 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: when they start ramping back up for the off season 68 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 2: program or that critical time during the break between the 69 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 2: end of after Mini camp before training camp. There's opportunities there, 70 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: and our guys are taking advantage of it. But I 71 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: think it's just another example of Justin. You know, he's 72 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: you know, he's so much more than just a wide 73 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: receiver to our team, and those guys building that rapport 74 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: will be huge, you know, just getting as many reps 75 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: as possible, and you know, it was nobody's fault by 76 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: any stretch, and and Justin got himself ready for the season. 77 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: But I think you know, you look back on that 78 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: time in training camp when Justin was you know, kind 79 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: of working through his deal. You know, you look back 80 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: on a lot of those routes on air seven on 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: seven's individual periods, team periods where you know it was 82 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: it was it was time that could have been used, 83 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: and so I think he's just being you know, getting 84 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: out in front of what's important to him, which is, 85 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: you know, Minnesota Vikings being the best team we can 86 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: be next year. 87 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson set another record in the Christmas 88 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: Day game. He surpassed Randy Moss for the most receiving 89 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: yards by a player through their first six seasons. Jets 90 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: is only fifty three yards away from his sixth straight 91 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: one thousand yard campaign, and I'm sure that will be 92 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: on his mind as he prepares to face Green Bay 93 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: on Sunday. He talked about that and how he wants 94 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: to end the twenty twenty five season at the podium 95 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: this week, you know. 96 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 5: Last game of the season, last opportunity to get a 97 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 5: thousand yards, last opportunity to get a win for our fans, 98 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 5: divisional win at that So, as a lot that's going 99 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 5: into this game, of course, I want to leave this 100 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 5: this year off with a with a good note, uh, 101 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 5: you know, having five straight wins at the end of 102 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 5: the season.

I love 289 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 8: these players, the coaching staff, you know, and like I said, 290 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 8: you know this this place has shown me a lot 291 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 8: of love and I show it right back.

And I think there's there's always 296 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 8: a you know, it's called a business part of this, 297 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 8: and uh and uh, the football all lines up and 298 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,599 Speaker 8: you know, we'll just see where it all where it 299 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 8: all goes. 300 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 6: Why do you think the Stevens has been as consistent 301 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 6: as it has been kind of the. 302 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: Back after the season. 303 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 8: Uh, I thin gets, you know, time on task reps, 304 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 8: getting the field for a good feel for the strengths 305 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 8: and weaknesses of you know, different players, who does what well. 306 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 8: I think we all kind of understand how we want 307 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 8: to play, what gives the offenses problems, and then just 308 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 8: our you know, our techniques, our fundamentals are tackling, our 309 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 8: pass rush, our coordination on all those things. And I 310 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 8: think the guys are having a good time. You know, 311 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 8: they've got a lot of ownership on on what happens 312 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 8: on the field. And you know, for me, sometimes I'm 313 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 8: sitting here going I wouldn't I wouldn't have done that. 314 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 8: But it's up to them. You know, they got the 315 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 8: keys to the to the car and they're they're doing 316 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 8: a great job with it. And so I think that 317 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 8: part of it is a big, big piece, you know, 318 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 8: that ownership that we try to give give them, and 319 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 8: you know they're just they're just flying around having fun. 320 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: Harrison Smith reached rare air after recording his thirty ninth 321 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: career interception on Thursday. The Hitman will run out of 322 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: the Vikings Tunnel on Sunday, unsure of what's next for him, 323 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: But I had the chance to ask him that question 324 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: many more in this exclusive interview. What made the Christmas 325 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: date performance so dominant. 326 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 9: Starts with the game plan Flow puts together and all 327 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 9: the guys buying in and we were able to stop 328 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 9: the run. And then after that we kind of get 329 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 9: into kind of what Flow scheme has started to be 330 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 9: known for as far as the blitzing and what we 331 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 9: can do in those situations. 332 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: I think now you're more cerebral as a player than 333 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: you were obviously when you first started. When did that 334 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: transformation take place? 335 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 9: I think it was just a slow kind of a 336 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 9: slow burn because I was I was into that stuff 337 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 9: as a young player. I just didn't have the experience 338 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 9: in the kind of the database to pull from. So, yeah, 339 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,479 Speaker 9: it's just a slow progression. 340 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: Fourteen years now with this team, there are people out 341 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: there that have no idea what the Vikings look like 342 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: without you. Yeah, how crazy is that to know? 343 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it sounds pretty wild when you put 344 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 9: it like that, But when you're when you're in it, 345 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 9: you know, sometimes the days or the weeks might go 346 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 9: by slow, but the whole experience goes by pretty quickly. 347 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 9: When you enjoy things that you're doing. That tends to happen. 348 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 9: When I look back, I can separate it a little 349 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 9: bit and realize how much time has passed. But yeah, 350 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 9: it's it's been. It's been a heck of a journey. 351 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, fans are calling you the true definition of a 352 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: Minnesota Viking, a Vikings legend. How do you process that 353 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: kind of praise. 354 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 9: I've never been one to dwell on on the highs 355 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 9: or the lows, but I I appreciate that that's saying 356 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 9: things like that and having that support from the fans, 357 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 9: Like that's not going any that's not going anywhere, Like 358 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 9: that's not a just like a performance in a game. 359 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 9: That's like a totality of work that the fans here 360 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 9: have an appreciation for. That means a lot. 361 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: Your teammates, your head coach, everyone feels like they're stumping 362 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: for you to come back for another season. You've been 363 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: here before, So what does that decision making process look 364 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: like when you make that decision. 365 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 9: It's different every year. Yeah, it's just different. There's there's 366 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 9: always different factors going into it. And I still feel 367 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 9: pretty good, but I think, yeah, there's it's just it's 368 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 9: just uh time away, Like it's it's this this lifestyle 369 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 9: when you really like get just enveloped in it. When 370 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 9: you get released from it, it's like you live a 371 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 9: whole different life away from here. So it's it can 372 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 9: be strange. Sometimes you almost feel like you're living two 373 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 9: different lives and to think about one while you're living 374 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 9: the other. I try not to do that. So it's 375 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 9: it's different every year. 376 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: The Vikings defense has been turning heads this season, and 377 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: former linebacker and current NFL network host, and Tito has 378 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: taken notice. Manti was here at Twin City's Orthopedic Studios 379 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: last week to host Good Morning Football with co host 380 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: Jamie Erdall. He was also at the Christmas Day game. 381 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: He talked about what impressed him the most, Brian Flores's 382 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: defense and why this Vikings team is still fighting to 383 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: the final whistle. Joining us now is a Good Morning 384 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: Football's co host man, Tito Manti, thank you so much 385 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: for being here. I feel like this place looks a 386 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: little familiar to you though. 387 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 3: We miss it. We miss it. 388 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 10: We're there obviously last week for those of you who 389 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 10: don't know, we actually had the opportunity and it blessed 390 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 10: you have shooting Good Morning Football from the Vikings facility 391 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 10: and everyone there was just so welcoming and just lovely, 392 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 10: and I thought you guys were just tremendous hosts, and 393 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 10: so thank you so much, guys. 394 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: We really appreciate it. We miss you. 395 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it wasn't your first time in the 396 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: practice facility. Either of you said you had visited at 397 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: Winter Park, which I thought was super interesting. 398 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 10: Well, actually it's my first time in that one, the 399 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 10: one that I visited coming out in twenty thirteen. I 400 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 10: had a little pre draft visit. It wasn't that facility. 401 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 10: And let me just say, that's more than just a facility, 402 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 10: that's like a resort over there. 403 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 3: I got lost. 404 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 10: I mean, thank goodness, I had some help to get 405 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 10: to the studio. 406 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 3: But it's definitely a. 407 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 10: Work of art. 408 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of work of art, how about the Vikings defensive 409 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: performance against the Lions. What's about to you the most? 410 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 10: Well, what stood out to me the most has been 411 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 10: what stood out to me, you know, since Brian Flores 412 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 10: has been a defensive coordinator. I love and I don't 413 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 10: just say that because I'm on this show, but I 414 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 10: love watching the defense. I think it's pure art is 415 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 10: when it comes to just the technician of the defense, 416 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 10: just being able to disguise. I was blessed to be 417 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 10: in a defense my first four years where disguising was 418 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 10: huge in our approach. And to see Brian Flores how 419 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 10: he utilizes his players, especially guys like Harrison Smith. He 420 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 10: gives them the luxury of doing things that maybe outside 421 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 10: of the lines of the defense a little bit, but 422 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 10: that I think adds to how difficult it is to 423 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 10: go against a defense like that, so it was beautiful 424 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 10: to watch. I know, Jamie Earla, I had a blast 425 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 10: watching her team do their thing, and me, as a 426 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 10: defensive connoisseur, as I like to admit that it's it was, 427 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 10: it was, it was. It was a performance that I 428 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 10: think everybody remember for a long time. 429 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: The Bidens were able to commit six turnovers, and of 430 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: course one of those was a beautiful interception by your guy, 431 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: Harrison Smith, former Notre Dame guys, and and a chance 432 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: for you guys to kind of connect a little bit. 433 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: I know you wore the jersey on Good Morning Football 434 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: on Monday, so thanks for that. But of course, I 435 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: mean it felt like Harrison was playing some of his 436 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: best football. What did you see from. 437 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 10: Your guy, Well, I saw a guy who was just 438 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 10: relishing in a moment, a guy who understands that he's 439 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 10: not in the beginning of this career, he's towards the end, 440 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 10: if not the end, and if if he was going 441 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 10: to have that moment that he could look back in 442 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 10: the event that he steps away from the game and 443 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 10: and a wonderful career at as a Minnesota Viking that 444 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 10: he wanted to leave it knowing that I gave it. 445 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 3: I gave him my all, and. 446 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 10: So the stats say what they say, but you could 447 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 10: see the effort that he played with. You could see 448 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 10: the next level of wisdom in the defense. He was 449 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 10: a coach out there. He wasn't just a safety. He 450 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 10: wasn't just a captain or a leader. He was a 451 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 10: coach and he's continued to be that and then him 452 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 10: to be able to do what he does from the 453 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 10: line of scrimmage. 454 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: It was. It was so nice to watch him. I 455 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 3: cheered on. 456 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 10: I cheered him on during the game. I actually mentioned 457 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 10: him in our in our broadcast that if the Bikings 458 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 10: were going to come up with this one, a lot 459 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 10: of it it was going to be dictated by Harrison, 460 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 10: and I wasn't trying to predict the future. But I'm 461 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 10: glad that he proved me right a little bit, so 462 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 10: I got to shut him up for that. 463 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: You are Minnesota Vikings will take the field for the 464 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: final time this Sunday at US Bank Stadium Spirodidas, Adam Marchalletta, 465 00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: and A D.
