3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,040

Speaker 1: Vikings dot Com Senior editor Craig Peters, fresh off that

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: trip to Canton.

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: How was it, Craig, Oh, it's fantastic. It's just amazing

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: when you have such a respect for the history of

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: the game. That's really I guess kind of always been

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: there and then really went to another level when I

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: started working for the Vikings, just because of the rich

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: history that exists here. Jared is the sixteenth person go

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame that spent all or most

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: of their career with the Viking, So that's pretty special too.

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: He did a tremendous job his speech. I thought the

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: bust looks fantastic. We got we got some flow, some

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: flow right, Yeah, going going into the hall, So that

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: that was I'm just always in awe of the skill

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: that exists with the bus makers and how they capture

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: the essence of these these just remarkable uh players that

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: have impacted the game so much, and you can kind

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: of see that in in the finished product of the Bust.

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: You definitely get opportunities to see Jared's personality stand out

28
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: during the gold Jacket dinner, ripped to see him doing

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: the calf roping, but I saw that it was you know,

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: he just had so much fun with it. So that's

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: that's that's great to see, you know, it's it's it's

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: a long way from from his college days at Pocatello, Idaho,

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: you know where or a few scouts including Mike Petten wow,

34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: really assistant head coach was there working for the Ravens,

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: kind of like on the entry level of the scouting world. Right,

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: that's how you go to Pocatello, Idaho and you're looking

37
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: at this guy who might be able to long snap,

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: but then he might be able to edge rush, and

39
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: then you know, it just worked out that way. There's

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: been some content so far, We've got more on the way. Yeah,

41
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: really diving into.

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: Guys doing a wonderful job.

43
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: Oh well, we try, you know, like you really want

44
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: to just try to deliver the content that befits the moment,

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: befits the earned honors along the way, and so there

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: is a lot of pride and that we kind of

47
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: try to take in in relaying those stories, helping connect

48
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: the fans to one of their favorites. And it's just

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: a fantastic opportunity always.

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: I mean to your point about the bust, it kind

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: of jogged my memory of being in New Orleans and

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: we followed Jared around. Yeah, he was getting he got

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: his jacket sized. They went over all the jewelry, what

54
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: the rings would look like. You know, he did a

55
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: bajillion autographs, but the by far the coolest part was

56
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: watching them measure him for a bus. And it's an

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: older couple that does it. I think that they I

58
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: don't know if they've done all of them, but they've

59
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: definitely done a lot of them. Had a whole book

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: of like their work and they were just taking measurements

61
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: by measurements of like all over the face and his

62
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: wife was like sitting there just writing them all down.

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: They were talking about which photos, he you know, what

64
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: he wanted to look like, things like that. It was

65
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: just a really, really neat experience. So it's no wonder

66
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: they're very lifelike. I mean he spent probably half an

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: hour with that couple going over what that bus was

68
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: going to look like.

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And now that it's been placed in the

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame there you think about John Madden and

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning referenced it when he went into the chime

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: in about the bus getting together and talking to each other.

73
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: I bet Jared's bust has some really funny stories to share. Yea.

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of let's kind of talk a little bit

75
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: about the weekend in general. So like you guys went

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: out there on a Friday. If I'm not mistaken, we.

77
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,640

00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: the you know, all all the travel. But it sets

80
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: you up for success. That also meant we got to

81
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: catch him at the at the Hall of Fame game.

82
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: You know, the video crew photo crew was able to

83
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: catch him. You know, as the this year's in Chinese

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: were participating in the game. They walked a gauntlet between

85
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: the Lions and Chargers right on the field there, and

86
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: you know, you can just kind of see it in

87
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: their their faces. They just know how how big the

88
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: weekend is and what it's ultimately leading to, and all

89
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: the work, all the influences on their lives that that

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: have led him to that moment, and uh, you know,

91
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: it's it's great to see football kickoff.

92
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so true. You kind of forget about there's

93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: a game in the middle of all this. So you

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: wake up on Friday, You've got the Hall of Fame walk.

95
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, can you take us there?

96
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 2: Like?

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: What is that?

98
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: Like? Yeah, that was really cool. So George Hollis Drive

99
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: starts out in front of the Hall of Fame there,

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: and it's kind of fitting because a lot of people

101
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: don't know, but George Hallis, the founder owner of the Bears,

102
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: was very instrumental and the Vikings being awarded in Minnesota

103
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: being awarded the NFL franchise, right, and then that was

104
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: the first game in franchise history, and Papa Bear was

105
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: on the sidelines and fran Tarkinson came off the bench

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: and the magic happened, and you know, like a relationship

107
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: with this community was born forever right, So they just

108
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: walked down George Hollis Drive. You know, you see fans

109
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: of the different players and organizations on hand. I'm met

110
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: a father and son duo. They're in the Chicago Land

111
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: area now. They got tickets for Week one, but I

112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: bet the father was wearing the Allen Page jersey and

113
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 2: knew the backstory of Allen having worked construction on the

114
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame as it was being built in the

115
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 2: early sixties. And they're so excited for what's ahead for

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 2: this team, what they think it is. And they're ties

117
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: to a White bear Lake too, So that's how the

118
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: Vikings fandom started, right, But they're they're all in, you know,

119
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: you could see the passion of the purple and then

120
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: then it's it's just so funny to see the more

121
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: than one hundred you know, gold jackets out there. Stuff. Yeah, yeah,

122
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: just right down there this year's and Chinese are in

123
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: like a blue shirt because they haven't been presented the

124
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: old jacket yet because that's later in the evening, right,

125
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: And so then they all gather on the steps in

126
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: front of the rotunda, which is where they used to

127
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: do the speeches a long long time. Okay, so yeah, like,

128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: if you go back and you look at you know,

129
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: pictures from fran Or Alan's Enshrinement's they're they're standing in

130
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: front of the the rotunda there and it's just kind

131
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: of this undulating hill and everything. And now they have this,

132
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: you know, massive modern stadium that do things from, and

133
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: it's it's just kind of like also just another sign

134
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: of how much the sport has grown through supportive fans.

135
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: And then you mentioned the gold Jacket dinner. The video

136
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: went viral of the first calf roping in a gold jacket,

137
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: and to be fair, like I was watching it a

138
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: few times. I was like, oh, that's cool, and then

139
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: I saw that he split his pants, and I'm not

140
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you, like I did not even I

141
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: did not even see it the first few times. And

142
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: then once I saw it, I was like, oh, no,

143
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: of course this happened.

144
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: I was seated for that in like the media area,

145
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: and I was just kind of zoomed out getting a

146
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: wide angle on the phone.

147
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: You know, is that your video?

148
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: No? No, it wasn't. Oh okay, you know me, I

149
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: don't share a lot on social media, so no.

150
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: But I just I wasn't sure if you were the

151
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: one that captured the moment.

152
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I didn't even go back and watch

153
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: it because we've haveved right into wreckon to camp and

154
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: we right right.

155
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you got back here and went straight to work,

156
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: so you get it.

157
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: So, but no, I need to look at that still.

158
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: But I guess they should have taken some measurements for

159
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: pans to allow for calf roping too. While all the.

160
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Other Jared lost a bunch of weight. He takes care

161
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: of his body. He's got a little bit slimmer and trimmer.

162
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: You want to show that off. I guess maybe just yeah,

163
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: that's all I got.

164
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: No, it's fine, he's looking great. It's always funny how

165
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: like guys have had to keep a certain weight to

166
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: play certain positions. Yeah, then they are so good now

167
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: with all the fitness and nutrition.

168
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I know he's very strict about his diet.

169
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's very mindful of that. So that's good.

170
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: And the gold jacket fit him nicely, fitted perfectly.

171
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. You know, Like it's in the

172
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: Canton Memorial Civic Center and they kind of form a

173
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: gauntlet for the this year's in Chinese and so there's

174
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: gold jackets here, gold jackets there.

175
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you mean by the gauntlet?

176
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: Like, so it's like a row of just seated. They

177
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: had more than one hundred in town, okay, and so

178
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: it's like fifty on each side of this change, and

179
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: they just walk down, get hugs, get dapped up, you know,

180
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: nice whatever, private conversations, just just really big hugs and everything.

181
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: And you know a lot of Vikings representation there. And

182
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: then like I just like the moment for me, you know,

183
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: growing up a child of the eighties and and you know,

184
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: really embracing NFL football in the early nineties. The Buffalo

185
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: Bills of that era was like a team I saw

186
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: a lot in Tennessee. We didn't have the Titans, so

187
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: it was kind of whoever was good was who was

188
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: on TV there, and so they were on a lot.

189
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: So the fact that like if my like eleven year

190
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: old self could know that I had one to like

191
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: be lucky enough to stumble upward into the same room

192
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: as Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas and Andre Reid and

193
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: James Lofton and Marv Levy, I mean, like you know,

194
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 2: it's it's like living a dream.

195
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really cool, Craig. I'm really glad you got

196
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: to experience that too. I mean partly, yes, you want

197
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: to do wonder, wonderful job, but like you are a

198
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: football fan and football historian really at heart, so that

199
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: probably was just one of those like full circle moments

200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: for you.

201
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: It was really really special.

202
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: That was really cool.

203
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: Every fan of football should should make the track at

204
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: least once to Campton.

205
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: Was that your first time?

206
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: Oh no, actually I've been fortunate enough to make three trips.

207
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: WHOA okay, so mctinglehoff. In twenty fifteen, the Vikings were

208
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame game against the Steelers. Stefan

209
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: Diggs had a really long punt return in his first

210
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: ever NFL appearance. And then let's see, in twenty twenty one,

211
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: I was fortunate to go when Steve Hutchinson went into

212
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, and he was like that year

213
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: was kind of a different entity all of its own

214
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: because that he was actually the class of twenty twenty,

215
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: but it was delayed until twenty twenty one because of

216
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: you know, COVID restrictions and regulations and things like that.

217
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: So it was a massive just like it's almost overwhelming double.

218
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: Because it was double the classes, right, Yeah, So yeah,

219
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: I get that. Well, let's go back to the ceremony itself,

220
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: the bust unveiling. The speech. I think Shared's has been

221
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: the one that's probably the most talked about this past weekend.

222
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: A very very viral moment of emotion and humor, which

223
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: we expect nothing less of from the big man himself.

224
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: What really stuck out to you as you listen to

225
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: his speech and the moment with his dad and that

226
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: that moment really stuck out to you.

227
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved what he was able to do with

228
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: his speech. Like I wrote that, you know, he blended

229
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: a trademark, his trademark humor and a humble appreciation for

230
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: everyone who helped his journey. He's so appreciative of how

231
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: things worked out after he arrived in Minnesota. He really

232
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: is the relationships he was able to develop that really

233
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: stuck out to me when he's when he said, I'm

234
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: a firm believer that God puts people in your life

235
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: at the appropriate time, and what you did for the

236
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: growth of my career, but more importantly, the people that

237
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: you surrounded me with in that organization helped me grow

238
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: as a man. That is why I will forever call

239
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: the Vikings my home.

240
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: It's amazing, Like you know.

241
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: Like that's that's really special. You can see the effective

242
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: relationships over time, right, And like you sometimes you're so

243
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: in the moment you don't fully appreciate what everyone is

244
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: pouring into you. And I think he definitely has along

245
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: the way, and even now it's even more of an

246
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: appreciation level.

247
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned that there was like a really

248
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: cool moment. Chris Carter was down at the Pro Football

249
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame when the class was announced in New

250
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: Orleans and they did all the sizing and stuff. Chris

251
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: was in the room and they were by the jewelry section,

252
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: and I was lucky enough to just kind of be

253
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: eavesdropping and and Chris was like, what are you going

254
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: to go in as like on your ring because you

255
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: can get multiple teams on your ring and whatever and whatnot.

256
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: And he goes like, you know, what are you going

257
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: to do? Chiefs and vikings whatever? And It's like, no, man,

258
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? I'm vikings all the way. It's

259
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: always the vikings. And then I love that, and Chris

260
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: was like That's what I'm talking about, you know, And

261
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: and that moment I was like, Okay, obviously, Like this

262
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: is just you know, a really really impactful moment to

263
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: know that, you know, this organization's made that much of

264
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: an impact on Jared and and it was just really

265
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: really cool to see that that interaction between the two

266
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: of them.

267
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: It's it's a wonderful thing to be believed in. Yeah,

268
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: and it's it's a wonderful thing to see someone appreciate

269
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: being believed in the most of that, well, thank you. Well,

270
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: so I feel like, you know, people believed in us

271
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: along our work journeys and you know, like not everyone did,

272
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: but enough people did it thankfully, and uh, you know,

273
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: that's that's what happened. And then I thought when he

274
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: like he took it to another level when like I

275
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: love the way he laid it out with fear and

276
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: explaining the right kind of fear that was a motivator

277
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: and then respect act it just and then the pursuit

278
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: of greatness right, Like that's like you you talk to

279
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: anyone teammate or everything, the motor was always going right

280
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 2: and it was always like trying to inflict his will

281
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: with the maximum force.

282
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: Right.

283
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, so there's that that that really struck in.

284
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: But then when when you get the guys talking about

285
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: their family, you know, I mean.

286
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: It's it's always when I started crying, it was.

287
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: It was you know, like it was great to see

288
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: cut onions out there. Somehow I don't know, but it was.

289
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: It was great. And you can just tell how special

290
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: the relationship he and his wife, Amy and Joy and

291
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: their two daughters and everything that's ahead of them and

292
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: and so it's it's just fantastic, you know. And I

293
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: love the way that he kind of you know explained

294
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: after going through he married aal talks with Tom lanfear

295
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: chaplain here, you know, and like the two most important

296
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: things that that he viewed were whether you follow Jesus

297
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: or not and who you marry and those are those

298
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: are you know, decisions and he said, you know, like

299
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: he explained that he considers Amy a true game elevator,

300
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: and yeah, I love.

301
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: That analogy he made. That was really cool.

302
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I feel like that that really really wrung

303
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: rung things home. And you can see how much he

304
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: loves being a dad too.

305
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, it was really nice. It was a

312
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: No, we won't give it too much away. But everyone

313
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: be on the lookout heading into that week two game.

314
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: He'll be in town and receive the the ring, the

315
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame ring ceremony. And if I know one

316
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: thing about Vikings fans in night game, to open a

317
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: season is going to be.

318
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Crazy, gonna be crazy.

319
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of uh, I should say open a home season.

320
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: I think I made that mistake on TV. I said

321
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: season opener, but then I corrected myself. It's so easy

322
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: to make that that uh flub, just like the wording

323
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: to someone thinks this Vikings seems to be fun to watch.

324
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: I don't disagree.

325
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't disagree to. We're gonna get to that in

326
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: just a second. We've got to take a short break

327

332
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: online at spellon dot com. I did want to talk

333
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: about a couple of the ways that this Viking team

334
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: is remembering Jim Marshall this season. I know that's a

335
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: story that you have been so passionate about being able

336
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: to try and continue his legacy on within Viking fans,

337
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: as well as trying to remind people that he deserves

338
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Unfortunately,

339
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: he passed recently, and I know that there are a

340
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: few things that this team plans on doing in the

341
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: coming months to remember his legacy. What stands out to

342
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: you about what this organization is doing for him.

343
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's it's really been awesome the way

344
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: that coach O'Connell and Quosi have embraced the history of

345
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 2: this franchise. Yeah, totally true of the younger generation now

346
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: and they didn't have to really fully appreciate it, but

347
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: it's been so important to him and you can see

348
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: him put actions behind when they say it's important to them.

349
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: Last year, last fall. Right before the season, they unfilled

350
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: the Jim Marshall Captain's Wall. Yeah, that's the last thing

351
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: we see when when we leave on a road trip.

352
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: It's the first thing we see when we get back.

353
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: And it just when players come in through that entrance

354
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: every day. That's that's right there for them too, and

355
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: they can continue to understand what a fourteen time captain

356
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: yeah could mean to to his peers and really lay

357
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: the foundation for for so much of what we enjoy here.

358
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: I've I have a lot of car thoughts about Jim.

359
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: Bud Grant was always careful to to never say he

360
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: had a favorite player. He would always call him a special,

361
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: special player, you know, and uh, but I'm allowed to

362
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: have favorites, especially when they are legends. And Jim, I

363
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: don't know what it was, but we just connected instantly.

364
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 2: And I was visiting with with his lovely wife Susan

365
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 2: recently and like I was like Susan, I thought, I

366
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: was like so so sped. I was like, man, if

367
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: Jim Marshall is this nice to me and this great

368
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: to me, I must be something special. And then I

369
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: was like, you know, and then I thought about more,

370
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 2: and I'm like He's like that to everyone, So I

371
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: had like move my ego back down, but you know,

372
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: you know, but.

373
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: That just kind of shows you the person.

374
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was just just the personality, the life well lived.

375
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: I mean, just this this, there's a lot of overlap

376
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: in the adventurous nature of Jim Marshall and Jared Allen,

377
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 2: to be honest, like they had different pursuits. Jim Marshall

378
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: was a skydiver, loved the snowmobiles. Jared does the curling

379
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: and lots of other things too, the horses. I mean

380
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: just just really really cool. But like just this, this

381
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 2: bright light. Never gave up, never gave in. He always

382
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: played hard, he always played smart, he always played Yeah,

383
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: And so I think that resonates. You don't get to

384
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy consecutive starts that began with that

385
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty one opener with Papa bear Over on the

386
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: other side looking and I think Jim got traded acquired

387
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: that week in a trade with Cleveland, drove up played

388
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: started that that game, and Van Brocklin, the original coach,

389
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: was in the newspapers crediting him for forcing two interceptions

390
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: after the game, So like it was, it was an

391
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: instant impact for for Jim Marshall here, and and like

392
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: no one could have ever envisioned right like this kind

393
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 2: of like almost like a dump off trade in in

394
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: some capacities. And Jim had been sick, he was dealing

395
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 2: with encephalitis, so his weighted dropped way down right before

396
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: the start of the season, if I can skid him,

397
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: and just there's there's no better man to come up

398
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: to the iron range than than this guy that has

399
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: just this I right, Yeah, And so in honor of that,

400
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 2: players will be having a decal helmet sticker on on

401
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: their helmets this year. So it's really great to see

402
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: that family is coming out on August seventh for a

403
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: celeb writing Jim Marshall Day and then there we're going

404
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: to really try to center piece around Legends weekend this year.

405
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: In Week three, it's it's gonna kick off with like

406
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: an event. And you know, getting to work with Tom

407
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: West and Tracy in the Legends department here, they're they're

408
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: so great at what they do and taking care of

409
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: of everyone. And we were talking with Susan and she's like, well,

410
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: do you do you think we should have that as

411
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: part of it. I don't want to take away from

412
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: the legends, and we all kind of like Susan.

413
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: He's the legend of all legends right now.

414
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's front and center. I don't know what to

415
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: tell you the first Like, if I ask anyone anything,

416
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: it will be like, well, I just wish Jim was

417
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: here right right, So like we're gonna be able to

418
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: do that. We're working on some some proper tributes to

419
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: go along with kind of a private friends and family

420
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: event that's going to be at the stadium. But it's

421
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: gonna be great to have the family out at Chaining

422
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 2: camp and they'll they'll fill that love that you know

423
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: is duly placed toward towards him and his legacy.

424
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I feel like ever since, I mean I've

425
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: only been here for five seasons, will this be my

426
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: fifth season? I just feel like, you know, this organization

427
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: always remembers their own and the impacts from the history

428
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: of it. It's a really really cool thing and it's

429
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: nice to see that continue. Let's kind of talk a

430
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: little bit about what's going on right now, Craig. You've

431
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: been out of training camp the past couple of weeks.

432
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: Feels like we kind of partially live here part time.

433
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: But last night we had night practice. Well so we're

434
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: recording this on Tuesday, so like night practice on Monday,

435
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: energy was high. I thought there were a ton of

436
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: people really excited to see what this Vikings team was

437
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: all about. Which players kind of stuck out to you.

438
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: I know, it's just a practice. It was pretty mild

439
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I would say. I thought, well, Reikert, you know,

440
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: he didn't miss. That was great to see.

441
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: You had a great night. Yeah, that's it's always good

442
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: to see that momentum and just like you know, they

443
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: take it back a couple of steps through the uprights,

444
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: take it back a couple more through the upright. I

445
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: like that his first kick was a forty eight yarder

446
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 2: at the end of a two minute drill too, which

447
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: is very game scenario.

448
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: Like very much.

449
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was the developed developmental excuse me out there,

450
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: developmental offense versus developmental defense. That's that's an O'Connell terminology.

451
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: But you know, some would say like third string deeper.

452
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, so it was it was nice to see that.

453
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, like the whole night, I'm just thinking, wow,

454
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy wasn't even part of night practice last year

455
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: because we had had the preseason drill and then right

456
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: before night practice we had the press conference announcing he

457
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: was not going to be participating, and then within the

458
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: week we're in Cleveland and surgery and season is you

459
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: know now rehab season, right. Yeah, Wow, he's worked hard,

460
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: He's crazy.

461
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: What does huh?

462
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: He's definitely got a good, good growth attitude, right, And

463
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: like he was using the mobility a little bit more

464
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: than I think I've seen him do so far earlier

465
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 2: in camp too. Yeah.

466
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you haven't seen him kind of run run too much.

467
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: He's been really focusing on staying in the pocket.

468
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a that's a pocket that's under some pressure, right,

469
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 2: because this first this defense is coming in waves, and

470
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: you can definitely clearly see the impacts that Jonathan Allen

471
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: and Javon Hargrave have had up front and what that

472
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: can kind of create for that next wave. Plus you

473
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: couple that with the edge presence that a Grenard of

474
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: Van Kinkel and a Dallas Turner are going to provide,

475
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 2: and I mean it's it's a really deep front seven.

476
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: Like I don't envy people trying to sort through who

477
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 2: winds up on the fifty three on that side of

478
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: the ball. I mean, it's it's just been really impressive.

479
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: And conversely, you can you can also kind of put

480
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: in your mind, well, the offensive line that was rebuilt

481
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: over the offseason is still kind of getting back together,

482
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: getting fully.

483
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: Together, right, unhealthy too, right?

484
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, So Will Fries has been out there. That's

485
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: that's been great to see c D big Dog coming

486
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 2: back for some team snaps already. So it's it's going

487
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: to be interesting to see how quickly that five can play.

488
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: Is one which is gonna be essential, but there's no

489
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: doubt that that unit and everyone on the O line

490
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: will have been battle tested very well. Yes, the other

491
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: caveat I kind of have is like, is the defense

492
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: having to fully respect the run game? Right, like I thought,

493
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones had some really nice runs

494
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: over the night practice. Jordan really made this awesome cut

495
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: down in a low red zone for a touchdown. That's

496
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: obviously a point of emphasis for the Vikings. I believe

497
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: finished with nine rushing touchdowns last season, so I had

498
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: a few more of those in there. Really forced the respect.

499
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: So a lot of low rid zone passing occurred early

500
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: in camp, right, And that's got to be tough, right

501
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: because you just have such little space to fit the

502
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 2: footballs into. Right, Like in the defense is they're all

503
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: this is a pass, right, So like we don't have

504
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: to like even cheat the line or anything like that, right, No, yeah, yeah,

505
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: so's it's really good. I think that they've been very

506
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: mindful and intentional of the challenges that they put in

507
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: front of JJ. I think he's handled them with like class,

508
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 2: maturity and like that ability to grow from him understanding

509
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: that what he sees out here is just as good

510
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 2: or better than what he might see in some games.

511
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: Well, and coming up, we've got the first preseason game

512
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: of the year on Saturday against the Texans. It's a

513
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: three pm kick and coach on Monday did say they

514
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: have a plan for JJ McCarthy that he will see

515
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: playing time in this contest. So what should fans expect

516
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: to see? I mean, obviously we don't know. I'm sure

517
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: maybe by the time you guys might be listening, you

518
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: may know more as a listener about the plan for

519
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: JJ than we do in this current moment. But what

520
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: do you hope to see?

521
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: So? Coach of Kin added the caveat that he hadn't

522
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: gone over the full plan with JJ.

523
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, he didn't want, yeah find out in the media, right,

524
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: that's generally a.

525
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: Good rule of thumb. Usually he's juggling all these things

526
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 2: and trying to figure out when he meets and you know,

527
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: but yeah, I do think that it will be a

528
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 2: good opportunity. And I feel like there could be quite

529
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: quite a few first team or starters that at least

530
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: get some reps in this one. And I think they'll

531
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: probably shift the focus towards the two joint practices next

532
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 2: week with New England, and there'll be a high rep

533
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: workload for for those players in those two joint practices,

534
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: And like, he reserves the right depending on how the

535
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: practices go, if if someone needs some more work or

536
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 2: wants to, you know, like get back in there for

537
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 2: for some more snaps. We'll see how that goes. But

538
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: I do think that there's gonna be just a tremendous enthusiasm.

539
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: You know, fans were able to see like that that

540
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: first little is like you go the ice cream shop, right,

541
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: like the little bitty spoon, Yeah, yeah, right, like and

542
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: then you like that was that was cool? I like

543
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: that yeah.

544
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean we saw, you know, before JJ

545
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: got hurt or injured, we saw him look really good

546
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: in that preseason game.

547
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about that. Yeah, yeah, So

548
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: I think the first maybe the first throw was an

549
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: interception or something like that, and he came rolling back

550
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: through a couple of touchdowns, really showed good pocket presence,

551
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: good pocket movement, some some ability to run on the ground.

552
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: So I feel like like he's gonna be a guy

553
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: that teammates play for. And that can sound cliche, but

554
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: like you can also kind of see it, like and

555
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: coach of Conn's big emphasizer of that strain, that very

556
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: last moment, you know, like that make that final strain

557
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: to make a play succeed, right, And we've seen it

558
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: before with like that last little bit of block enabled

559
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold last year to get a couple of really

560
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: beautiful touchdowns off. And if if if someone else hadn't

561
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: picked up that block or picked up the blitz or

562
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: strained for that final second of executing that block, then

563
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: that's a sack or it's a completion something like that.

564
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: So I feel like all of that plays into it,

565
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: and it's it's you can just see this kind of

566
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: relationship building that's occurred, and I think that that's that's

567
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: going to be be fun. And there's there's just nothing

568
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: like live game action, even if it doesn't count in

569
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: the standings there, there's just certain things you can't simulate

570
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: in practice if you're for sure prioritizing taking care of

571
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: your players.

572
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean especially that. So if we've talked

573
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: a ton obviously about JJ McCarthy and what he'll be

574
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: able to do, we've touched on the defensive line a

575
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: little bit. Is there another position group that you're going

576
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: to have your eye on during this preseason game? What

577
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: are you excited to see?

578
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think I think there's a couple of areas

579
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: actually that are of really strong interest. And it's it's

580
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: kind of like a little bit deeper down the depth.

581
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: Chart, right, Yeah, I'm ready to go. Let's dive in.

582
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: All right, all Right, I feel like if you've gotten

583
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: this far in the podcast, you're a Vikings faithful you understand, right.

584
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: You know, like they're they're ready to start saying who

585
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: they're ready to watch? Right. I don't blame let's go,

586
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: but I really been you're a sect the undrafted tight

587
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: end out Stanford first and then Georgia. You know, it's

588
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: as the team's trying to replace Johnny Mount was a

589
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: critical role in the number three tight end. TJ's back,

590
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: Josh Oliver's back, Jian Mont left. They draft Avin Bartholomew,

591
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: but he's he's been sidelined. So Ben is just like

592
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: really really impressed. Bryson Nesbit has made some plays there,

593
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: so it'll be interesting to see those guys name to

594
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: really keep an eye on. In the number thirty four.

595
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: Zamaya Va on his.

596
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: He's made some flashy plays at camp, right, Yes.

597
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: He's just he just like kind of Wes West Phillips

598
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: Offens the coronary will talk about corners and he's like, yeah,

599
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: they I just like watching him the ones that don't panic, right, Like,

600
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: so he's a rookie. He hasn't played corner that long

601
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: in his in his football career, to be honest, Wow,

602
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: at least an organized ball. He said he used to

603
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: cover his siblings right in the in the in the

604
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: neighborhood games and everything. But uh so he just like

605
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: he looks like the part, you know, like he's got

606
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: really long links, got good technique. So from from what

607
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: I've learned to this point about technique. I'm not a technician,

608
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 2: don't don't like oh right, but uh, I don't want

609
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: to get ahead of my ski.

610
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: No, you know, you know, you know, you know your stuff.

611
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: But he looks he just looks the part, you know,

612
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: So it's it's going to be cool to see him

613
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: make that debut, you know, an undrafted I love the

614
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: undrafted guys in this tasty action. And sometimes they come

615
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,719
Speaker 2: from big programs that have stadiums as big or bigger,

616
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: you know, especial, So.

617
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: You talk, I mean, you hear coach talk so much

618
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: post draft about like or even nowadays like in camp

619
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: when these guys are like making splash plays, like we

620
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: were really lucky to get a guy to come here

621
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: undrafted for agent, and they don't want to hear us.

622
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: I think you said this about your sec yesterday or

623
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: on Monday that you know, he doesn't want to hear

624
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: that we felt like we got a draft pick with

625
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: him because obviously, you know, the undrafted free agent money's

626
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: a little bit different. But but that's what they feel

627
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: like with some of these guys, that they get these

628
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents to decide to come here because there

629
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: are other teams who are also just as excited about

630
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: adding that diamond and the rough, the you know, Ivan

631
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: paces of the world. I guess this is kind of

632
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: the cornerstone here in the most recent years of of

633
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: what they can do at the next level.

634
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: So absolutely, that's a good game.

635
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: I like that.

636
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 2: You can go old school, back to Eric Wilson, who's

637
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: back in the second you know, so he was. He

638
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: was like one of the early early forays into undrafted

639
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: free agency. They really panned out really well, and that

640
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: is so critical, especially this year when there were only

641
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: I think five draft picks.

642
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: Yes, that's so true.

643
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: You've really got to mind the depths, and that's that's

644
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: a testament to your scouting department and really projecting who

645
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: might still be available. It's a testament to the culture

646
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: and reputation that's being earned here from the coaching staff

647
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: and the you know, the nfl PA report cards. You

648
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: rookies can see those two, right, Yeah, so they can

649
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: they can weigh into factors of of where they sign,

650
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: and I think that I think it all works together

651
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: really well. But it's it's so important to be able

652
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: to mine that the post draft undrafted free agents and always,

653
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: always keep a.

654
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,760
