1 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: Hey, it's the Minnesota Vikings postgame report provided by Looman 2 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: from Ford Field with Pete Bursich. 3 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: I'm Paul Allen. 4 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings snapped a five game losing streak to 5 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, and they came on the road after 6 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: getting healthy, led by JJ McCarthy, and they left with 7 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: the money. McCarthy two touchdown passes, one to Jefferson, the 8 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: other to Hockinson. McCarthy also ran in a touchdown for 9 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: the second time this season. And funny what happens when 10 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: you get your best players healthy. You got Christian Darris 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: on Brian O'Neill, both healthy for the offensive line the 12 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota moving company. But defensively, Andrew van Ginkele returned, so 13 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: for the first time since the victory at Soldier Field, 14 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: you had Van Ginkell, Grenard and Cashman together. Think it 15 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: made a difference. 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it absolutely did. And it's not just Van Ginkle. 17 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 3: I mean he does so many things away from the 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: ball and away from the play that make this defense better. 19 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 3: But the ability now to have Van Ginkole kind of 20 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: you know, in and out you rotate in Dallas Turner, 21 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: you got Eric Wilson playing inside he's playing outside. Ivan 22 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: Pace got in there, you know, Cashman got in there. 23 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: So so many different lineback I mean, just the personnel, 24 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: the different combinations of personnel on defense kept Jared Goff 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 3: off of his game poll. I mean, this is a 26 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: timing offense and he is one of the best in 27 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: the league at doing so. A seventy six percent completion percentage. Yeah, 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 3: going into going into this game against the Vikings in 29 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: his last five we kept them off. We kept him 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: off all he's missing throws that we you know, we 31 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: hadn't seen. And you know, this is a game, Paul, 32 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: that you circle on the map and said, this is it. 33 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: You know, it's a tough one, but it's on the road. 34 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: The whole thing. 35 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: How about the adversity and then the negativity and going 36 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 3: into this game where we were, how we looked on 37 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 3: Thursday night against the Chargers and oh, by the way, 38 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: it doesn't get any easier because you got to go 39 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: to Detroit play them at home, coming off the buy 40 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: that so much is in their favor They were eight 41 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 3: and a half point favorites going into this one, right, 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: and my heavens for us to be able to come 43 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: in here and upset the Lions. What else can't this 44 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 3: team do? I mean, I think if anything, it proves 45 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 3: that when we're firing on all cylinders, when we're being physical, 46 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: especially on defense, Paul, we were so physical today. We 47 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: ran the ball for more yardage than we threw the 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: ball for today. So that's physical right there. The physicality 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: is back on this team. And when we are, wow, 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: does it open up a lot? 51 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this question. 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: At the end of the broadcast on KFAM, you said 53 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: that this is the biggest or let's say, most significant 54 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: regular season win since Kevin O'Connell became the coach. Here 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: now we're gonna hear from the coach coming up shortly. 56 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: Why'd you say that? 57 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: Because because of all those things, Paul, I mean, so 58 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: much was flying in the face. I mean, what's stuck 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 3: in my memory was just the end of last year. 60 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: You come out of You played Detroit until until the 61 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: beginning of the fourth quarter. It's a it's a it's 62 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: a tight game, it's a one score game, and then 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter things go sideways. Then you go out 64 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 3: to Arizona to play the Rams after they had to 65 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: move and we weren't in it. The whole the whole game, 66 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: and it was kind of like that same feeling of 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: we you know, we barely we could have beaten the 68 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles, right, we were a player two away. And 69 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 3: then the game out against the Chargers, what happens there? 70 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 3: We were you know, we were I mean that was 71 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: a defeat, that was a physical defeat. And so what's next? 72 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: Plus you're going into the toughest place to mean, the 73 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: Lions have played three games here, Paul, and they've won 74 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: each won by fifteen points or more. I mean, it's 75 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: it's it's insane how well this team has played here 76 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 3: and to come in here and disrupt all that with 77 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: a quarterback who's getting only his third start in his career. Oh, 78 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: by the way, Dan Campbell owen three versus quarterbacks in 79 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: their first three. 80 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to get that about the call because you 81 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: can be like Aaron Jones before he left, how he 82 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: really provided a spark. Michigan native Eric Wilson had a 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: two sack game, Blake Cashman had fourteen tackles. But you know, 84 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: the most significant statistical wherewithal that indicates why the Minnesota 85 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: Vikings won today is because Dan Campbell is oh in 86 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: three lifetime against quarterbacks who have started three or fewer times. 87 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: That would be justin Field's Bailey Zappi and JJ McCarthy. 88 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: How about that? 89 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 3: And another thing is the Lions are now two two 90 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: and one coming out of the by the Dan Campbell 91 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 3: here right, this is the first home game coming out 92 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 3: of the buy. I mean, so much was in Detroit's 93 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: favor today and you know the odds market side eight 94 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 3: and a half point underdogs coming into this. 95 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: I mean, what the ability to motivate this team, right? 96 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: And you heard it from like Grenard during the week 97 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,559 Speaker 3: about how they just don't like Detroit and it's okay 98 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: to not like your rival. It's okay, it's not personal. Right, 99 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 3: twenty years from now, you guys all get together and 100 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: have fun. But right now they're taking this thing personally. 101 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: And the way we shut down the run, Paul, I mean, 102 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: they had sixty five yards of. 103 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: Rush twenty five in the first half. We gave up. 104 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: We gave up almost as many yards to Herbert last week, 105 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 3: last Thursday, he had sixty two or sixty three alone, 106 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 3: and we gave up against this bunch, against this group, 107 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 3: only only sixty five yards. I mean, what a tremendous outing. 108 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: I think Javon Hargrave, all those guys up front played better. 109 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: And in fairness to the Lions, they they lost their 110 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: left and right guards during the game to injury. Taylor Decker, 111 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: their left tackle, left and came back all right. But 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's that's just how football goes. And you know, 113 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: it's it's nothing on which to lament for a Minnesota 114 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: Vikings team that has had sixteen or seventeen different offensive 115 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: line combinations this year. It's not even like see, it 116 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: ain't easy to get around this. It's not even that. 117 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is, when you're analyzing or breaking 118 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: down football, if you think that for a well oiled 119 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: machine like this Lion's offense, you're gonna lose two key 120 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: cogs on the MotorCity Moving Company and it's just gonna 121 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: zip up and down the field. Na, they learned today 122 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: what O'Connell and the Vikings offense have been dealing with 123 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: all year. 124 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: Right in, this offensive line was intact for a good 125 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: portion of this football game. So it wasn't like they 126 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: came in here, you know, suffering, you know, suffering from injuries. 127 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: So the defensive front, Paul the entire game, regardless of 128 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 3: who was in there. We said Javon Hargraves name more 129 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 3: than we've said in a long long time. Jonathan Allen 130 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: kind of all over the place, Jalen Redman, how about 131 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: him continuing to just just get after the quarterback for 132 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: the for each in that last drive we had a 133 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 3: three man rush. We've been blitzing, sending linebackers getting after golf, 134 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 3: making their running backs protect. We give them that look 135 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 3: and then drop everybody out. Van Ginko comes on an 136 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: underneath stunt, Jalen Redman just loops around him and it's 137 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: it's a sack for Redmond. I mean, that type of 138 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: twist in the defensive game plan is brilliant, and not 139 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: only that it has. 140 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: To be executed, it was executed flawlessly. I I'm just proud. 141 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: I'm actually proud of these guys and what they were 142 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: able to do today. 143 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: And you know, and shushed down all They was an 144 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: absolute bunch. 145 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 4: Paul. 146 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: I'll put myself in that category too, because I'm talking 147 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: about all the challenges and all the things that do 148 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: not point our way going into this football game. But 149 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: at the end of all of that, if you come 150 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: out of here with the victory, it changes everything, right, 151 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: who's secure? 152 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: Who's going to win this division? Right now? Green Bay 153 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: just lost a home that's good to work. Yeah, we 154 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: just beat Detroit. This thing is wide opened. Yep. Right now, 155 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: your Vikes are two and zero in the division. 156 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: By the way, Kevin O'Connell won for the first time 157 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: at ford Field, oh and three into it, one and 158 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: three out of it. And what's strange for Kevin is 159 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: at Lambeau and Soldier Field six and one.

I thought, 225 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 5: you know, he was really decisive. He made some nice 226 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 5: throws early in the game. I thought the throw to 227 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 5: j A on third down when they were doubling Jefferson 228 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 5: was a off someome pocket movement kind of kept his 229 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 5: base and give Jay a chance to make that play. 230 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 5: I'm sure there's plenty more, but just the feel of 231 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 5: him playing quarterback, mixed with his athleticism protected himself a 232 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 5: couple of times when he did, you know, steal us 233 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 5: some yardage, got us in the end zone again on 234 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 5: a critical third and goal from I believe the nine. 235 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 4: And then you know, just just his presence. 236 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 5: You know, he's a he's a young player in a 237 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 5: in a heck of an environment today. Really he's had 238 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 5: three starts, two of which and you know, very difficult 239 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 5: road environments. And his poise in running the show I 240 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 5: thought was matched by him making some big time throws. 241 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 5: And there's always gonna be some things that we can 242 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 5: go back and correct and but you know, really proud 243 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 5: of the way he competed and battled to day. And 244 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 5: then you know, the last throw to Jayalen Naylor. We 245 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 5: were in a similar situation against them a year ago 246 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 5: at home the first time we played them, and we 247 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 5: were able to make the play and speed. 248 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 4: He made an unbelievable catch there. 249 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 5: It looks like in a one on one situation, and 250 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 5: JJ made one of the best throws of the day 251 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 5: when we absolutely needed it. 252 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 4: I'm gonna play. Did you mentioned last year's game must 253 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 4: have adain so yeah, in that this particular situation made 254 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 4: the trusts. Yeah, I think it's just total team trust. 255 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: Total team trust. 256 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 5: If you know, we're gonna try to end the game 257 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 5: if we can, if we feel like there's a play 258 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 5: there to to go. 259 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 4: Try to do that. 260 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 5: And I think just the execution level of our guys 261 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 5: when we absolutely had it, absolutely needed. 262 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 4: It was critical. 263 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 5: And my confidence level, regardless of the circumstances of the season, 264 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 5: I boil it down to one opportunity and that game 265 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 5: is sixty minutes, and I tell our guys all the time, 266 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 5: from the first play to the last, we just need 267 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 5: to have the competitive stamina to continue to hold up 268 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 5: and do the things required to beat good football teams, 269 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 5: and this is certainly one of them here in Detroit. 270 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 5: And we know we'll see him again at our place 271 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 5: late in the year. 272 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: Attacking single covers the way he did, what led. 273 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 6: To his decisive us to get to those spots and 274 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 6: see the opportunities a couple of type ros there. 275 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think, you know, I think what it 276 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 5: was is, you know, we saw Jay, you know, Justin 277 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 5: Jefferson warrants a lot of attention and depending on the 278 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 5: down and distance, depending on the situation. I thought they 279 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 5: called a good game to try to limit his impact. 280 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 5: That's where you'd love to get a little bit more 281 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 5: catch and run on some of those plays when when 282 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 5: he does win and get open, specifically on the early downs, 283 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 5: but whether it's the Naylor play at the end, you know, 284 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 5: Addison's early third down catch, some other ones that you 285 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: know JJ was able to make to move the football 286 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 5: and give us that new set of downs, give us 287 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 5: that chance to re establish the run game and just 288 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 5: do things that, you know, do things that finding the coverage, 289 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 5: finding the open guy, finding the void and vacancy. I 290 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 5: thought he had a nice zone snap, you know, when 291 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 5: Justin was in the backfield, he progressed and found Jordan 292 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 5: Adison ran a great route over the top of that 293 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 5: there was just examples of it. We didn't have a 294 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 5: ton of plays. What did we end up with? I 295 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 5: think fifty you know, fifty nine plays. You know, you'd 296 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 5: love to you'd love to get that number a little higher, 297 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 5: and I think with a little cleaner execution. 298 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 4: We could get there. 299 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 5: But between the blockfield goal and the Harrison Smith fumble recovery, 300 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 5: what I loved was the complimentary nature of that with 301 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 5: a total that shows you got a totally connected team 302 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 5: to make that play and then find a way to 303 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 5: get points for sure off those drives, including you know, 304 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 5: obviously JJ's touchdown run on a pretty weighty third and nine. 305 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 5: There some third down the fourth quarter out of the goal 306 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 5: of my every car freaking field goal and JJ goros out. 307 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, TJ. Hopkinson's getting getting out on a out. 308 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 5: We're trying to ran a similar concept on the early 309 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 5: first down play, tried to be physical and then and 310 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 5: they made a stop actually I think lost a. 311 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: Half yard on that play. 312 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 5: And then you know, got one on one coverage for 313 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 5: Justin on the second down play, and I thought they 314 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 5: just made a play, you know, tough, tough cover out 315 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 5: there kind of on an island and uh and and 316 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 5: they made a play. And then on third down, just 317 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 5: seeing if we can give JJ that run pass option 318 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 5: kind of a traditional, you know, heavy grouping goal line 319 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 5: type of play, and and and wanted to make sure 320 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 5: we ensured the field goal at that point, but still 321 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 5: be aggressive to the point if it was a little tighter, 322 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 5: maybe you can get a run off, but they're selling 323 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 5: out to stop the run. 324 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: And and they were able. 325 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 5: To cover TJ and really kind of looked like he 326 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 5: got held up trying to get out of there. 327 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 4: It's really a one man show with full cell there. 328 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 5: But but yeah, I would love to score a touchdown 329 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 5: there and and really put the game away. 330 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 7: Looked very decisive and did you was at a point 331 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 7: of emphasis getting. 332 00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: Off the best start to. 333 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 5: Get the Yeah, I mean nothing's easy in the NFL. 334 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 5: So even plays where you know, he looked decisive, that's 335 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 5: just him playing the position and and finding completions. And 336 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 5: you know, like I said, I thought that early Jordan 337 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 5: Adison conversion was a big time play on a on 338 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 5: a third down. 339 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 4: And then just as the game went. 340 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 5: On, you feel a little bit of the normal kind 341 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 5: of ebbs and flows of a game where if you know, 342 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 5: I think he will continue to learn to just stay 343 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 5: totally you know, present and and and level in each 344 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 5: moment and just continue to work and make up for 345 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 5: a lot of lost time in these situations to be 346 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 5: able to just consistently do his job with technique fundamentals. 347 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 5: How accurate can we be when guys get on edges 348 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 5: versus man coverage? How how decisive can we be check 349 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 5: the ball down? I remember early on in the game 350 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 5: to Aaron Jones on a you know, a play where 351 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 5: we got zone coverage and and just production can look 352 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 5: a lot of different ways from the quarterback position, and 353 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 5: it's not always the exciting plays here and there, but 354 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 5: those will come up from time to time. But you 355 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 5: just can't make it one when it doesn't present itself 356 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 5: that way. 357 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 4: And that's playing quarterback. 358 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 5: And I think just his overall demeanor is such a 359 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 5: positive throughout the game. He just seems to you know, 360 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 5: if anything, you know, sometimes you know, he gets really excited, 361 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 5: he's competitive. 362 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 4: This guy's a. 363 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 5: Winner, and he's now twice this year, really found ways 364 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 5: to win, you know, under some unique circumstances on the 365 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 5: road in the NFC North, this is a tough place 366 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 5: to come play. 367 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 4: A sin said that a bunch of the captains talked 368 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 4: last night a year. What did you take out of that? 369 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 5: What did you think of Yeah, I had met with 370 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 5: a lot of those guys early on in the week, 371 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 5: and you know, my meeting on Monday, you. 372 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 4: Know, was hopeful. I was hopeful to set the tone for. 373 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 5: The week, and it was a long meeting, and I 374 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 5: told them at the end of that meeting, this might 375 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 5: be the last time you guys here for me. I lied, 376 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 5: because I did start the meeting last night. But the 377 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 5: captains were very adamant. They just wanted to make sure 378 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 5: that everybody heard, all eight of them individually stand up 379 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 5: and deliver messages of encouragement of what we've built here, 380 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 5: the things that matter from a standpoint of what's in 381 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 5: that locker room, culturally, and ultimately, you know, just find 382 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 5: a way to have the performance needed, whatever that was today, 383 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 5: sticking to the principles that we thought were important to 384 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 5: win the game, but then collectively doing a lot of 385 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 5: things out there at a high level. 386 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 4: For the guy next to you. 387 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 5: It's a cliche, but you know, when players deliver that message, 388 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 5: some cases emotionally, some cases with some fiery context to it. 389 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 5: You know, we were you know, there's a lot of 390 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 5: folks that wanted to play the game last night. We 391 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 5: just had to wait until one o'clock today. 392 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 8: Definitively what we're able to do to go off and give, 393 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 8: you know, off of what they've been doing most of. 394 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought I thought the line of scrimmage was big, 395 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 5: you know, our defensive line, our edge players having Andrew 396 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 5: van ginkel Back, the physicality that they played with up 397 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 5: front of loud guys like Cashman and e b to 398 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 5: you know, go make a lot of tackles, make a 399 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 5: lot of plays. 400 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 4: I thought there was knock back. 401 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 5: It wasn't always you know, you know, floated a really 402 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 5: good job mixing it up, but it wasn't always scheme. 403 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 5: It was a lot of guys defeating blocks, not getting 404 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 5: knocked back, trying. 405 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 4: To stop the run early. And then I thought we 406 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 4: did a good job. 407 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 5: And I know they you know, as the game went on, 408 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 5: they had some tough, tough injuries that that we've experienced 409 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 5: kind of all season long of just having to kind 410 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 5: of figure it out with some guys down the line 411 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 5: on the old line. But I thought the pressure, I 412 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 5: thought we'd moved Jared off the spot a little bit. 413 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 5: He's as good as anybody in the National Football League 414 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: if he can stay clean all day long. And I 415 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 5: thought we were able to move him off the spot 416 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 5: and affect some place. Even when they made some plays, 417 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 5: it was, you know, we tried to make it hard 418 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 5: on them, and then you know they're gonna keep competing. 419 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 4: You know they're gonna make some plays. 420 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 5: They got some really good players over there, and it 421 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 5: just felt like our guys just kept playing and continuing 422 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 5: to just press onward and find a way to win the. 423 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 4: Game against you still have a game. Yeah, it was 424 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: just a mixture. It was a mixture. 425 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 5: It was a lot of showing uh, pressure and kind 426 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 5: of varying up the looks from there, showing man to 427 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 5: man and playing some other things out of it. 428 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 4: And I just thought the. 429 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 5: Plan on both sides that the coaching staff put together 430 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 5: was the right plan to win this game. They're each 431 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 5: their own and we're gonna have to do the same 432 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 5: thing next week and on from there. And and we've 433 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 5: certainly got a lot to build on, a lot of 434 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 5: things we can clean up to play even tighter and 435 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 5: and and play even more consistent as a football team. 436 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 5: But still complimentary when we need to respond to the adversity, 437 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 5: slipping here and there or activating the momentum changing. It's 438 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 5: all part of football. I mean we talk about a 439 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 5: lot of things sometimes and and rightly so. And that 440 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 5: locker room, you know is I absolutely love these players. 441 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 5: I love this team. I love our coaching staff. And 442 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 5: in weeks like this where you know, in many cases 443 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 5: it can it can go one way or the other. 444 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 5: And there wasn't a moment all week despite some of 445 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 5: the things going on and some of the things that 446 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 5: maybe we're tempting to kind of hang that hang that 447 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 5: left they they stayed together all the way through and 448 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 5: found a way to get us back to five hundred 449 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 5: and to and on the division. Yeah, I mean Miles 450 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 5: Prices continues to show up. You know, I thought you 451 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 5: would have loved to get that would have loved to 452 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 5: get that that touchdown there. Uh, they got a holding 453 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 5: call there, and we'll have to take a look at it. 454 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 5: What we can coach better to clean up our technique. 455 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 5: And because Miles is going to give us a chance. 456 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 5: I mean I think he had one hundred and sixty 457 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 5: four uh return yards, which all those field position plays, 458 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 5: all those times where we can flip the field. And 459 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 5: then I thought, even though it wasn't, you know, super 460 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,239 Speaker 5: exciting in the fantasy football world, I thought the win 461 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 5: like the field position. It just felt like outside of 462 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 5: that one sequence where we were backed up and then 463 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 5: gave them a short field, it felt like for the 464 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 5: majority of the game we had the field position where 465 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 5: we wanted to allow, you know, allow our defense to 466 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 5: go out and get a stop or that turnover. 467 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: With that that drive started backed up, got. 468 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 5: Him into a third and long, and and we were 469 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 5: able to kind of get the punch out there, something 470 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 5: we work a lot at and hopefully start seeing more 471 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 5: and more of that show up on Sundays. 472 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: I know, you really liked the way Kevin mixed it 473 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: up along with the offensive coordinator Wes Phillips early in 474 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: the game using Aaron Jones. 475 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: The way they were. 476 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the Lions came out keeping the Vikings 477 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: defense off balance three catches sixty six yards in a 478 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: touchdown with Sam Laporta. I mean, they just put eighty 479 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: seven right on you and said go ahead and stop it. 480 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: Vikings didn't at that point. Yeah, O'Connell did the same 481 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: thing with Aaron Jones. 482 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: Yes, he did. I mean, Aaron Jones was a shot 483 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: in the arm of this offense. Early. 484 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 3: We got a couple of short fields and we were 485 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 3: able to capitalize it.

So we just 681 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 8: got to focus on the next opportunity, the next challenge 682 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 8: to overcome. And you know it eliminates all anxiety, all nerves, 683 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 8: all outside noise when you just put one foot in 684 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 8: front of the other. 685 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: All right, the Ravens next to the US Bank Stadium. 686 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, by the way, at six catches and a touchdown. 687 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: Two touchdowns this year for Jefferson, both from McCarthy. But 688 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: Jefferson passed Adam Thielen and as the third most catches 689 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: in the history of Minnesota Vikings football. And I think 690 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: we would be remissed to depart without giving Jalen Nail 691 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: or his flowers.

But you had to move the chains 699 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 3: one time to put this game away, and you throw 700 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 3: a back shoulder fade to Jalen Naylor, who by the way, 701 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 3: had one thrown behind him earlier that was intercepted, and 702 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 3: he comes through and actually to win this football game, 703 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 3: to put this thing away.
