But there's two reasons I did that 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.600 open third quarter opening drive and then going into the 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:32.000 third quarter. But more importantly, I played Pitbull who's from 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.080 Miami and who played at Miami and now is in 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.000 the Miami Football Hall of Fame. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.520 No, I've been the Hall of Fame. I just went 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:42.520 into the Ring of Honor. 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.480 The Ring of Honor. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.880 Oh yes, Chuck Foreman, ladies and gentlemen, thank you. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.120 That was last week. Yeah, so I was on my 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.200 way back. I just got home last week because we 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.279 drove by choice of course. 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.639 Right right, right, Yeah, so you're in the Ring of Honor. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:00.400 Your already know. 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.679 I Ring the Hall of Fame, But this Ring of 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.359 Honor thing is like the you. 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.079 Know, how cool is that to be on the field 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.000 and just kind of feel that whole love all over again. 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.320 Yeah, it certainly did. You know being in Miami, and 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.600 Miami is a different type of town. It's got a 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.080 little bit of you know, the vibe is different. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.600 You're saying, Miami vibe is a little different from Minnesota vibe. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.000 I don't understand, but. 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.880 Yeah it is. And then there's a whole lot of 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.519 other things going on in Miami, which means that's why 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.880 I love Minnesota. I mean, Miami is good for a minute, 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.160 Minnesota is good for a long for the long term. 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:41.440 So it's basically, any like city state that you're gonna 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.320 live in is basically going to start with an M 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:44.000 because you're from. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.480 Maryland, right, And then he went to Miami. 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.000 In Minnesota, right, the three M. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.280 So here's the thing, this is what. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.920 I love is that first and foremost Chuck Foreman was 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.240 gonna be here on the show, but he decided to 0:03:58.280 --> 0:03:59.440 go on a bike ride. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:00.480 Yeah. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.360 I was on my bike ride and I'm like, there 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.880 was something I'm supposed to be doing, right, there's no joke, 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.920 and I'm like about three miles into it, and then 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.840 about I think it was like four or five now 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.120 I don't know four. Anyway, it's like about, yeah, you're 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.840 supposed to hear twenty minutes to five, and I'm like, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.000 what the heck. And then a friend of mine, Brian, 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.120 called hey, Chuck, you supposed to being with Cony. I'm like, 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.960 that's it. Let me get that home. And then when 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.200 I turned my bike done, and then my text went 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:30.719 you know, my thing went off. You gave me to 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.919 notice that I was supposed to be heading out. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.360 Yeah, you ride bike in this crap? Yeah, yeah, it's 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.040 a cold day. Do you have one of those fat 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:39.720 tire bikes? 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.160 No, I got a road bike, man, I got one 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.120 of those real nice ones. It's called a specialized. But 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.599 you know now, I just put my winter stuff on 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.120 and hit the road. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.360 Chuck might also have saved my marriage here today, we're 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:54.880 sitting here. 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:55.520 At the saloon. 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.720 All of a sudden, my phone goes off and he's like, 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.280 who's Christy. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.080 You might want to an him.

I appreciate that. 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:23.120 Buddy, NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year nineteen seventy three, 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.520 we're talking about Chuck Forman seventy three to seventy nine 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.320 with the Minnesota Vikings five time pro bowler. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:29.600 You've done it all. 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.800 It's just absolutely amazing all the things that you have 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.839 accomplished in your life. Now, when you hear that segment 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.520 opening up here in Vikings Football, I'm sorry almost a 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.440 Vikings Football Sundays, Vikings Country. I have too many shows 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:49.200 three straight games. The Vikings defense, and we're gonna talk offense, 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.320 We're gonna talk kir Cousins coming up here, but. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.760 That Vikings defense. Three straight games. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:59.320 They're holding opponents to just over thirteen points per game, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.920 and they are just absolutely killing it right now for real. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.120 They certainly are. And as long as they continue to 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:11.839 play that well, the Vikings will have a chance to win. Now, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.800 I don't know. I mean, Hall's going to go in 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.920 there this week for sure. They just traded for Dobbs. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.120 Yeah, Dobbs, and. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.600 I watched him play a couple of games during of course, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.400 he's not bad, so he's probably a good guy to have, 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.360 you know, for the duration of the season. I think 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.200 he'll do us. He'll do a good job when he 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:31.640 gets here. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.000 Did you ever have and when we get to this 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.320 a little later, more in depth when we talk about 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.960 kir Cousins, but did you ever have a moment in 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.520 your career with the teams that you were playing with, 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.279 especially with the Vikings, where you had just a massive 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.039 player at somebody that was a huge leader, somebody was 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.520 really the heartbeat of the team, go down. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.000 Right, Frank targeted, Yeah, and then we had Bob Lee 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.040 back him up, and Bob Lee came in and did 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.480 a really good job. But that's why it's always important 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.200 to my opinion anyway, you got to pretty much have 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.320 two starting quarterbacks in this league right now, Yeah, because 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.920 if something does happen to your number one guy, you 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.680 got to have somebody that can come in there that 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.680 the players respect. No can get the job done. And 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.320 you know, he may not be as good as the 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.600 guy there, but he's the guy that can get you 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.360 over the hump until he gets bag. And so the Vikings, 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.880 you know, when Kurt went down, I know, well when 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.800 he went down, of course, that's all. That was the 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.720 big question. What's going to happen from that point on? Right? 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.240 All right, Chuck Foreman is our guest here Vikings Country. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.320 It's brought to you by Miller Lite. We're hanging out 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.480 here in Waconia. And also in that segment you heard, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.560 Mattelis gets that sweet pick. 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:45.800 It's a nice return. 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.560 And then what do you do first, especially when you're 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.640 in Green Bay, you throw the dagger. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.800 And it goes to Addison. He gets that touchdown. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.800 So a series that's one play twenty yards took five 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:57.720 seconds off the clock. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:58.080 Right. 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.160 But Jordan Addison, why I want to bring that up 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.040 is how good this young man has been so far 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.840 and the one thing that he did early on in 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.559 the season so far is that he loves that spin moving. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.200 You are the spin doctor. 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:19.320 Well that's true, but you know, so far, so good. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.080 He hadn't been caught in the middle of it, and 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.440 you don't want to do that. So if he can 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.800 do it, about that happening, and he'll he'll be you know, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.640 he'll be fine. But if you ever get caught in 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.840 the middle of that thing, I can tell you firsthand, 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:33.760 it hurts a little bit. 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.120 So when you when you're doing the spin, so. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:38.719 You got to know where you're going. You know, it's 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.920 not like to me. You know I was and when 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.760 I did it, I was going to space, open space. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.520 I mean, I wouldn't worry about the guy. I knew 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.679 I could dump him, you know. But but you know, 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.000 you need to have great, you know, some pretty good, 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.040 pretty good peripheral vision and when you see that space 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.400 over there, you better know that it's open and you 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.520 better know that there's nobody coming in that space, because 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.199 if you do it and you can't see what's coming, 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.880 well you know, I trust me. As I said before, 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.080 it hurts me. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.000 So when you're doing that spin move, spin doctor and 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.840 everything like that, Uh that that's not something Is that 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.040 natural or is it something that you picked up because 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.960 you saw I believe. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:21.760 It was a basketball player. 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.600 Yeah, Earlda Pearl, mind bro. I'm from Maryland. Courts basketball. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.880 It's a big sport there back on the East Coast, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.160 and I played basketball and like everybody else, and Earlda 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.560 Pearl was with the Knicks and the Baltimore Bullets at 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.920 the time. When I watched him as a kid, and 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.200 he used to be we used to come down and 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.440 do that spin move on the basketball court. That was 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.040 a big move then. And I remember my rookie year 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.439 we were playing that at the time, the Houston Oilers. 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:48.760 Oh sure, yeah yeah. 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.080 And I all of a sudden I saw some space 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.480 over there, and I gave this guy this little thing 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.120 to go left, or gave him that thing. Then I 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.400 came back behind me and that was like, wow, I'm 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.880 in this open space. And so I just said, well, 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.880 this is my move.

But then 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.920 I brought it to the football field and it worked 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:32.600 out pretty good. 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.200 Spin Doctor, your nickname Earl of Pearl.

Thank you, Vikings Country. Okay, so let's 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.760 go with that whole thing. That was our first rushing touchdown. 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:43.320 You heard there, cam Akers, first rushing touchdown of the season. Uh, 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.560 it's been a bit of a struggle. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:45.960 Now. 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:51.479 I understand that that our offense is really. 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.840 Predicated on the pass first and then they run. But 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.000 why can we not get things going? 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.360 In your opinion, given the fact that you're stats when 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:02.600 you were playing, you. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.240 Know, yeah, but that was a different time. 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.720 Five n and fifty yards, but you sixty three touchdowns 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:09.360 in your career. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.160 You see, in my time, if you got a thousand yards, 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.480 just a thousand, that was a big, big, big, big 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.280 big deal, right because it was run dominant the offenses 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.800 and then you know you wouldn't thinking about burning clock 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.840 and things like that. As far as the vikings go, 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.480 you know, you got to build from the inside out 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.760 that running game. You know, it's got to get better. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.800 But it's been good enough the last few games for 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.840 them to be to open up their passing game and 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.920 the and the other thing about it is, you know, 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.760 no justin Jefferson, but Addison's come in and done a 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.680 great job. So and then we got Osbourne and you 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.400 got that talking so you know, there's all those things 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.160 in place. There's weapons, Yeah, there's weapons there for them 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.320 to do what they need to do. Defense is playing great, 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.880 but as far as scoring the you know, running the 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.560 running game goes, I think the more you do it, 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.120 the better you're gonna be at it. But as you said, 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:14.639 it's more of a past first run, second right offense. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.960 And so if you're not if that's not the number 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.320 one choice, but I'm a firm believer in establishing a 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.640 running game and then everything else opens up. Now that's 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.280 just me and maybe I'm an old school but you. 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:26.719 Know, here's the thing about that. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.520 I knew you were gonna say that, the old school 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.040 part of it, because okay, first off, the offensive line, 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.760 defensive line, when you're playing unbelievable with. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:39.040 The Minnesota Vikings. But also you were an innovator as 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:39.680 far as. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:44.200 Like Jerry Burns, let's throw the ball to our running back, 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:45.600 let's let's move around. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.160 I mean, you were not just a north and South 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:48.720 kind of guy. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.199 No, not at all. But then when I was in college, 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.880 you know, I played wide receiver, I played running back. 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.639 I played cornerback when I got here. That was really 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.919 the first time. Well actually, when I got into the 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:05.920 college All Star games and they focused on me playing 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.240 running back. And then of course, you know, I don't 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:09.680 know whether you knew it, but I was the MVP 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.800 and everyone I played in And then when I got 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.359 drafted by the Vikings and Jim Peeks brings me into 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.359 the office and then he says, well, where do you 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.359 want to play corner? You want to play wide receiver, 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.119 You're gonna play running back. I'm like, wow, I just 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.240 made all these all star teams, and I was running 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.359 all these great guys that were supposed to be the 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.920 top guys. You know, Greg prud otis armstrong. I keep going, 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.800 and I was like getting the MVPs, and so I said, 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.880 why aren't you just gonna let me play running back. 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.119 Then they say you're gonna play running back, and then 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.480 they turned me into a full back. And I was 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.040 really upset when they did that. But once they explained 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.720 to me why, then I understood it. 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.160 Before we get into more of your A gaps B gaps, 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.560 Jerry Burns in the F gap, which you know where 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.760 I'm going there, I gotta tell everybody you can join 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:04.040 p A at the Elk River b w H Buffalo 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:04.600 Wild Wings. 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:05.880 That is this Friday. 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.280 It's nine to noon the Friday Football Feast presented by 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:13.000 Coors Light.
