You see, the guys just stay even killing 348 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 12: and we just continue to communicate with each other that hey, 349 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 12: our time is coming. Let's take it one player A 350 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 12: to Tom deep breath, and once we make this one 351 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 12: play is going to avalanche and it's going to start going. 352 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 12: And it's a game of momentum. So we eventually got 353 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 12: that momentum on our side and we worked out. 354 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 8: Said that you guys had faith in the quarterback, But 355 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 8: what value is it to see him proof on the 356 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 8: first night that he is what he is? 357 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 12: I mean, I think it's more validating for you guys. 358 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 12: We know what we had here, so we're just we're 359 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 12: just proud of JJ that he stepped up in that 360 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 12: way and proves you guys wrong. He doesn't have to 361 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 12: prove up to us anything. We have already believe in us. 362 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 12: We already believe in him. We're back in a one 363 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 12: thousand percent. So I think it's more for everybody else. 364 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 6: So when you saw the news of him being NFC 365 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 6: Player of the Week, what went through your mind? 366 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: I got amped? 367 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 12: I got amped, And. 368 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: What can I say? 369 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 12: What better way to start off your NFL career? Uh? 370 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 12: Start one? Start NFL Player of the Week. Let's let's 371 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 12: keep it realing. 372 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: JJ. 373 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 7: Why didn't you need to see it first in a game? 374 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 7: I mean, I know he's played preseason games, but I mean, 375 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 7: you've been around a long time and practice can be 376 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 7: different than than games. 377 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: What what made you feel that way you did? 378 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 7: And the other guys too, before he'd actually played in 379 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 7: a competitive game. 380 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 12: Definitely, he's done it at a high level for a 381 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 12: very long time. And then just seeing out there when 382 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 12: the cameras aren't around or any any of that, when 383 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 12: we're out there just throwing with each other or got 384 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 12: a group of guys, and just the way he commands 385 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 12: his leadership, and it was a lot of speed, like 386 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 12: going back like Jordan Love like he was the first 387 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 12: time quarterback, and it didn't take for me to have 388 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 12: to see him to play to be able to say that. 389 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 12: It was the same thing with JJ Like his confidence, 390 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 12: everything is there, and he's a gamer. 391 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 3: That's the most important. 392 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 12: Didn't even have to play football with him to like, hey, 393 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 12: I suit up with this guy. 394 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 3: Any day I played. 395 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 12: We were playing kickball, and I'm like, yeah, this guy's 396 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 12: a gamer. 397 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 3: I want him on my team. 398 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: So Monday Night's defensive performance was impressive, capped off with 399 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: those thirteen quarterback pressures that impressed legendary sportscaster, former defensive 400 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: lineman in the NFL and now radio analysts for Westwood 401 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: One's Sunday Night Football Call, Mike golick I had the 402 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: chance to sit down with him and talk to him 403 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: about what this Vikings defense needs to do to get 404 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: the win against a tough Falcons offense on Sunday Night. 405 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 4: As a former defensive lineman, I would rather rush somebody 406 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 4: who you know is going to be in the pocket 407 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 4: right now. Pennix did show his athletic ability rushing for 408 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 4: that touchdown. I still don't know how he kept his 409 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 4: knee off the ground when he put it in the 410 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 4: end zone. But he's had so many injuries. He's just 411 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 4: not known as a runner. He'll get rid of the ball, 412 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 4: try and move in the pocket to look down field. 413 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 4: So for Brian Floores, it depends on the tact he takes. 414 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously your best to rush for and drop 415 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 4: seven that gets you seven and coverage you have an advantage. 416 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 4: But if you need to bring the pressure, he does 417 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 4: it so well through disguising, putting seven at the line, 418 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 4: bringing five or sometimes bringing four, but confusing the offensive 419 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 4: line and getting a free rusher. But basically Pennix wants 420 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 4: will get rid of the ball. That's the one thing 421 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 4: about a scrambler guy that will move, they'll tend to 422 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 4: drop the ball, try and get out of the pocket 423 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 4: and try and make something happen. For the most part, 424 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 4: Pennix knows he's not going to be a running threat. 425 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 4: He's going to have to be a passing threat, so 426 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 4: he is more apt to get rid of the ball. 427 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 5: He has that running threat threat behind him. 428 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the best running backs in the 429 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: league Injon Robinson, and the Bucks are able to contain 430 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: him for the most part on the ground, I mean 431 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: twenty four yards. I patch yourself on the back for that. However, 432 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: the one hundred yards through the air and that screen 433 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: game is going to be probably something they'll lean on 434 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: in this game as well. 435 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 5: What are your thoughts. 436 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: On, how do you are you able to contain Bajon 437 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: and really stop him from getting that going. 438 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 4: That's a chess match, you know, because if you throw 439 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 4: a blitz at him and Bajon scorts onto the backfield 440 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 4: and you hit him in space, you know you're dead. 441 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 4: Jon Robinson in space is tough to bring down. So 442 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 4: that's where the chess match comes. With offensive play call 443 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 4: defensive play call, but certainly you want to contain the run. 444 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 4: You're right, he didn't go for too much running the ball, 445 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 4: but he is a monster threat out of the backfield. 446 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 4: He's a threat no matter when he touches the ball, 447 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 4: and that's obviously something that Atlanta is going to do. 448 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 4: Zach Robinson, the offensive coordinator, he is going to try 449 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 4: and have Pennix because again he's not really a runner. 450 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 4: Get the ball in the hands of his athletes. Now, 451 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 4: Darnell Mooney didn't play in this game because of his shoulder. 452 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 4: Drake London hurt his shoulder in the game, So you 453 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 4: got guys kind of nicked up a little bit. But 454 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 4: you have Vijon Robinson, so you have a guy that 455 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 4: is normally going to be a mismatch for a defense. 456 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: Before we go, head coach Kevin O'Connell spoke in his 457 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: Friday press conference and announced that Jeff Okuda, Andrew Van Ginkel, 458 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: and Christian Darrisol will be out for the Falcons game. 459 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: Harrison Smith is listed as questionable. Those inactives will be 460 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: final just before kick in the Sunday night football game, 461 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: so be sure to stay tuned and follow that storyline 462 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: at Vikings Dot com or the Vikings app. This Sunday 463 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: night football home opener is going to be insane.
