1 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Minnesota Vikings postgame report provided by Luman 2 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: and I'm Paul Allen, joined by analyst for the Kfan 3 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings Audio Network, former player and coach Pete Persis. 4 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: After the Minnesota Vikings lost to the Philadelphia Eagles twenty 5 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: eight to twenty two, the Eagles snap a two game 6 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: losing streak. The Vikings are now three and three on 7 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: a short week, prepared to take on the LA Chargers Thursday. 8 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: From sofar, Jalen hurts phenomenal game. 9 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: What do you think of the whole thing? 10 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 3: Well, I mean we didn't do enough to get him 11 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: off of his game. I mean, Jalen listening to these 12 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: numbers nineteen to twenty three for three hundred and twenty 13 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 3: six yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, a passer rating of 14 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: one phil eight point three. 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: That's perfect. It's perfect. 16 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: And we talked about the Vikings giving up on average 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty six yards of passing per game. 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: Today giving up three hundred and twenty six. So you know, 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: the big the big play to Devonte Smith was one 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 3: aj Brown coming up big a couple of times, especially. 21 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: Late in the game on that third down play ball. 22 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 3: But that's part of the story, right That's that's just 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: part of the story. It's offensively, the inefficiency in the 24 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 3: red zone and then the turnovers, mistakes at key times, 25 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: having touchdowns taken away because it kind of leaves whether 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: they're bad calls or not. Those things are continuing to happen, 27 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 3: and the offense is just lacking some continuity right now. 28 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 3: I think Wentz's goutted it out. I had a couple 29 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: of good scrambles by the end of the game, but 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 3: early on not much in the way of a rhythm. 31 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: Well, I don't I don't exactly know what the percentage 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: is for teams who go minus two in the take 33 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: give the turnover differential and also give up a defensive touchdown. 34 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it has to be the percent chance of 35 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: teams like that winning has to be five percent or less. 36 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 2: And that's exactly what the Vikings did today. 37 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: Wentz threw his fourth pick six and it was Jaye 38 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: xx Hunt, second year Houston Christian. He got his first 39 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: interception A and defensive touchdown B. 40 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: How big was that? 41 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was definitely big. And you know, 42 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: you watch the way that play set up. We get 43 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: the tight ends flexed outside. The corners were covering the 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: tight ends, not the receivers in the slots, so we 45 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: knew we had the zone. 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 4: You know. 47 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 3: Carson Wentz thought he I mean, he knew what he 48 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: was going to get and he wanted to throw that 49 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: football across the middle of the field. And it was 50 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: just a great play by Jalx Hunt kind of. It's 51 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: it's like very Andrew van Ginkel of him to get 52 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: in that passing lane, intercept that football and turn it 53 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: into a touchdown. So, yeah, the odds of winning a 54 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: game when you're in when you're minus two and you 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: give up a pick six, you're you're definitely in the 56 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: single digits when it comes to probability of winning. 57 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: All right, now, now help me with this, because the 58 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: Vikings are on a short week. Okay, Now you know 59 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: they've gone win lost, win, loss, win loss whole year, 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: you know, so technically, if you believe in patterns like that, 61 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: which I don't, they should win Thursday. However, Now Thursday, 62 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: by the way, Aaron Jones could return, certainly not speaking 63 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: for the team here, but his running his went injury 64 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: window opens next week, so he's. 65 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: Eligible to return Thursday. If he returns that. 66 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: Could help the offense with some continuity to compliment what 67 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Mason has done. However, when when you think about 68 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: today's game and the offensive continuity or lack thereof, that, 69 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: this is a day darisaw was not on a snap count. 70 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: He played the entire game. 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: Donovan Jackson returned, played left guard, tough guy Brian O'Neill. 72 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Seriously with that with that right leg injury, well he 73 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: started and played the whole game. So they got the 74 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: moving company close to what you would expect. 75 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: I just didn't expect the lack of continuity to that. 76 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: No, and you know you still look at Jordan Mason 77 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: average in almost four yards of carry. So it wasn't 78 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 3: as if it was a disaster up front. Carson Wentz, 79 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: I believe, was only sacked two times, getting. 80 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: In the fourth quarter. Yep, So the protection wasn't awful. 81 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: Right again, you go back to do you where do 82 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: you look to to explain this thing? And it's kind 83 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: of it's been such a moving target throughout this whole 84 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 3: year because the offensive line has been all over the place. 85 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 3: You know, defensively we have been you know, they haven't 86 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 3: necessarily stopped to run great, they've been good against the pass, 87 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: and today kind of all that flipped on its head. Right, defensively, 88 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 3: we're we're not stopping the pass. We had some great opportunities, 89 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 3: especially in the fourth quarter on that third down in 90 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: about nine or ten, when Jalen Hurst is able to 91 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: scramble and get the ball out to AJ Brown and 92 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 3: move the chains. Those plays are the ones that are 93 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: backbreakers because that extends that and ultimately AJ Brown caught 94 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: a slant for a touchdown on Byron Murphy ju So 95 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: it's it's very, very tough when it's a moving target. 96 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 3: And what is plagued this team I think going into 97 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 3: this week has changed quite a bit. I mean, there's 98 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 3: a lot of different things that happened today that are 99 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: that are concerns. 100 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 2: I mean, and for Wentz, I mean the pick six. 101 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: You know, part of a lot of me says, that's 102 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 3: just a great play by the defense. They had the 103 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: right call, the right thing at the right time. The 104 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: interception on the next pass it time. However, that didn't 105 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: make a lot of sense. Okay, that was just him. 106 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 3: I don't know what you know really what that was. 107 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: But those mistakes and then the next biggest thing, Paul, 108 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 3: is what do we do when we get inside the 109 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: twenty yard line. Yep, right one of six today. We 110 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 3: got to be better. Yet, the Eagles weren't out in 111 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: the red zone once they might have been on this 112 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: last drive and then eventually got backed out. They scored 113 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: from outside the red zone the entire game, right three 114 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: you know, three touchdowns all from outside the red zone. 115 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: So that's not going to happen very often. You gotta 116 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: have a plan from when you get in there, and 117 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: you know, right now we're. 118 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: Struggling well, Davonte Smith before we hear from Kevin O'Connell, 119 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: Davante Smith finished with a career high one hundred and 120 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: eighty three receiving yards seventy nine yard touchdown, longest than 121 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: that young man's career. Aj Brown also had one hundred 122 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: and twenty one receiving yards and he had a couple 123 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: of touchdowns. So the Eagles with those two combined, those 124 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: two had more than three hundred receiving yards. Let me 125 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: ask you to put your your metaphorical coaching hat off 126 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: for a second before we hear from Kevin O'Connell. With 127 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: Kevin and with this staff off, a by you lose 128 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: the way you lost today, well, you just lost the game, 129 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: and now you've got a short week with travel on Wednesday, Like, 130 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: what are some coaching pointers you remember from when you 131 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: coached with us, say Mike Tye or when you played 132 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: for Denny Green with short weeks and like weird circumstances. 133 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: Well, would you have to have is a short memory? Right? 134 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: You have to take. 135 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 3: Because you're not gonna have the time, really, I think 136 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 3: to sit down and go through the film and make 137 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: all those corrections. You got to move on right away, 138 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: as soon as you as soon as you show up 139 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: tomorrow morning. Everything you're thinking about is the Chargers, and 140 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: so you gotta sneak those in kind of along the way. 141 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: You got to figure out how much of the game 142 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: plan you can keep because you don't want to change 143 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: too much in a short week. 144 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: Because you're not gonna get a lot of reps. 145 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: Carson Wentz being a veteran, I think that's gonna help 146 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: him going into the next week. And when we start 147 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 3: talking about whether it's gonna be he or or JJ McCarthy, 148 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: what's gonna you know what's gonna. 149 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: Go on there? And just that's it. 150 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: I mean, you got to move You got to have 151 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: a short memory, and you can almost paint it and say, hey, 152 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 3: we don't turn the ball over twice, then we're in 153 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: this football game. But we can and it and it's yeah, 154 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a it's a legit argument. A lot 155 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: of other things that we got to fix. But at 156 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: the same time, uh, you know, the back end of 157 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: this defense, there was some mistake me in the secondary 158 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: that is kind of uncharacteristic. Whether or not you know 159 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 3: whether those came from THEO Jackson at safety. Are they 160 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: Isaiah Rodgers Byron Murphy Junior? You know, you look at 161 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: the last touchdown by AJ Brown, I'm not really sure 162 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: what he was trying to do. Is he bumped out 163 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: there late and you know a technique. I don't know 164 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: what his plan was, so to speak. But tip of 165 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 3: the cap to Jalen Hurts in this Philly. I mean, 166 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: I thought they were going to run the ball all 167 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: day long. I really really find you know, they did 168 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: make changes though they did bring in the extra lineman. 169 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: It seems like that's what this defense is going to 170 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 3: have to figure out because the Chargers are going to 171 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: run the ball fifty times. 172 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 2: If they can't, it's a great. 173 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: Point the Steelers brought an extra offensive lineman Spencer Anderson. 174 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: It helped Kenneth Gainwell. Browns did the same thing. 175 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: It helped Quinn Shawn Judkins and likewise for the Eagles 176 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: today with Fred Johnson. 177 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: Let's hear from Viking's head coach Kevin. 178 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 5: O'Connell thought, our guys battled, but we we did not 179 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 5: do enough to put the ball in the end zone 180 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 5: offensively with our multiple trips down in the red zone. 181 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 5: Pretty explosive, kind of competitive day moving the ball, but 182 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 5: we've got to find we basically, you know, had a 183 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 5: better day on third down, you know, third, fourth down fifty, 184 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 5: gave ourselves a chance for points, but we weren't able 185 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 5: to overcome kind of the fact that they win the 186 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 5: turnover battle two to nothing. We did that two weeks 187 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 5: ago and I told our team that is rare and 188 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 5: not a formula you know, to to win games consistently. 189 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 5: And you know, showed up again today and it was 190 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 5: was very unfortunate. But I thought defensively, their ability to 191 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 5: stop the run against a team that was, you know, 192 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 5: gonna come out and try to run the football on 193 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 5: us was a real positive. But clearly a lot of 194 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 5: explosives and and Jalen and their offense made some big 195 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 5: time plays that kind of limited our ability there in 196 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 5: the second half to truly try to come all the 197 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 5: way back back in and uh, you know, win the game. 198 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 5: I thought we had a touchdown chance there to to 199 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 5: TJ and ended up being a you know, a fourth 200 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 5: down that we convert and then we've got to find 201 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 5: a way to put that one in the end zone. 202 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 5: But I thinking back on the red zone trips, you know, 203 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 5: I think we might have missed an op on a 204 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 5: on a flat on one of our run pass solution 205 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 5: run pass option plays, we snapped the ball over the 206 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 5: quarterback's head for a minus twenty two yard loss, and 207 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 5: then I got to get some clarification just on the 208 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 5: holding call. Seemed to be a pretty routine kind of play. 209 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 5: But you know, that's that's the way. That's the way 210 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 5: it goes sometimes. But short week, guys are already in 211 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 5: the recovery mode now, and we'll turn our guys over 212 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 5: and go compete on Thursday night. Injury updates just Zay 213 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 5: Scott and c J ham as A. Scott had a 214 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: right wrist and CJ had a left hand. Those guys 215 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 5: will be evaluated here, you know, currently going on right now. 216 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 6: Everyon when Dalen Hurts makes the plays he makes on 217 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 6: those third downs, especially when he gets out, how difficult 218 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 6: is that to defend, just when he's able to extend 219 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 6: things as long as he did. 220 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: On a couple. 221 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a big, you know, big part of 222 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: the game plan was going to try to contain him 223 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 5: as much as we could to the pocket and try 224 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 5: to get home and see if we can first and 225 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 5: foremost force him into what seemed like I don't know 226 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 5: if I'm right on this, but it felt like three 227 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 5: of their third down conversions maybe the three they had 228 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 5: in the game, we're all long yardage kind of you know, 229 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 5: pretty backbreaking kind of plays when you've done everything to 230 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 5: force those dn ds of what they are, and then 231 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 5: they not only end up converting, but for some explosive 232 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 5: gains there. So I know, our guys competed all day long. 233 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 5: I thought, the defense, you know, even with us turning 234 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 5: the football over for a touchdown and then they were 235 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 5: able to kind of give us some ops to keep 236 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 5: that competitive and stay in the football game. And it 237 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 5: was back and forth just trying to find a way 238 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 5: to put the ball on the end zone and at 239 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 5: least find a way to get a lead at some 240 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 5: point there in the second half, had no you know, 241 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 5: no issues moving the football was it was points and 242 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 5: that has. 243 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 7: Not really been our problem. 244 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 5: And we were able to rectify some things on third down, 245 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 5: but a lot of self inflicteds did show up in 246 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 5: that red zone that make it hard to put the 247 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 5: ball on the end zone. 248 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: What what did you see? 249 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 7: King? The second half? 250 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 8: They made it as you guys has ridden the offensively 251 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 8: through the years afore. 252 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 5: Well, I think, you know, throughout most of the day 253 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 5: it felt like, you know, we did a lot of 254 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 5: good things in the past game. I thought our I thought, 255 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 5: our guys, you know, we had some early success in 256 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 5: the past game moving it between the twenties. Then they 257 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 5: made some adjustments and and we made some real time 258 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 5: adjustments to kind of keep the momentum and find guys 259 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 5: like Jordan Addison, TJ. Speedy, all those guys had some 260 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 5: some really, really nice plays throughout the day. And I 261 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 5: thought Justin was, you know, his normal self from a 262 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 5: standpoint of being a problem, and there was some real 263 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 5: emphasis to try to limit his impact, which opened up 264 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 5: some opportunities for some of the other guys, and when 265 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 5: we could you know, against you know, a pretty good 266 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 5: interior player there in ninety eight, when we could hold 267 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 5: up and allow the plan, you know, to kind of 268 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 5: come to life. We had some real opportunities down the 269 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 5: field and enough to move it, like I said, But 270 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 5: at the same time, you know, twenty two points when 271 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 5: you when you give them seven off of a turnover 272 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 5: and ended up in a very long situation coming off 273 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 5: of a penalty and ended up having the ball kind 274 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 5: of you know, ruled out of mounds on a lateral 275 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 5: there that put us in third and forever and then 276 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 5: turn it over on that third down just plays that 277 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 5: we it just feels like we put ourselves in some 278 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 5: of the situations of the football game that although they competed, 279 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 5: we've we've got to clean up, you know, we can't 280 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 5: allow you know, maybe third down execution one week isn't 281 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 5: up to the standard, and then you know, we it 282 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 5: trickles down to the red zone. 283 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 7: When you do have a good day on. 284 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 5: Third down, to possess the football quite a bit in 285 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 5: the game and try to stick with the run game 286 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 5: as much as possible to then allow you to be 287 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 5: explosive throwing the football. 288 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: Holding in the red zonees sort of routine. 289 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 4: What do you mean by that? 290 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 5: Just a normal technique that you see you kind of 291 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,479 Speaker 5: see around the you know, around the league. 292 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 7: From a trap. 293 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 5: You know, it's called a trap, you know, knock a 294 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 5: guy's hands down. Gotta go back and watch it, you know, 295 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 5: didn't see it real time, but just I think the 296 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 5: officials were, you know, there was some discussion amongst them, 297 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 5: and they made the call, and and they're gonna, you know, 298 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 5: they're gonna make those calls and can't give them the 299 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 5: opportunity to throw those penalties because penalties and negatives in 300 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 5: the red zone make it really hard to come away 301 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 5: with points or seven. Did you get any clarity or 302 00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 5: understanding of why TJ's touchdowns overturned? Really, my question was 303 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 5: kind of connected to TJ's play to the Saquon Barkley 304 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 5: challenge that I had earlier on in the game, because 305 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: it seemed like a very kind of similar premise of 306 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 5: why they should maybe be similar. 307 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 7: But I did not. I did not obvious or not obvious. 308 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I did not get any You know, I'm not 309 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 5: a part of the conversations with with Bill or New York, 310 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 5: but this i'd judge that I was standing with tried 311 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 5: to update me as much as possible, but the main 312 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 5: update that I got was incomplete pass. 313 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: Kivin What did you see on courses first interception? 314 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, they brought a you know, they they brought a 315 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 5: man pressure where they dropped a defensive end out, gave 316 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 5: up a little penetration there. I think ninety eight was 317 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: you know, over the over the center, trying to isolate him. 318 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 5: We're doing a lot of things to try to combat 319 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 5: with what we do with our slides and things like that, 320 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 5: but they were able to kind of dictate the look 321 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 5: right there, and you know, I thought, wait, a chance, 322 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 5: maybe at justin if we could have one more click 323 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 5: to let him clear that dropper. But at the same time, 324 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 5: I think Carson had to get rid of the ball 325 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 5: and and uh, you know, they they had a dropper 326 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 5: right in the initial window of the play, and and 327 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 5: there was a critical, critical play in the game for sure. 328 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: How would you assess Carson to play as a. 329 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 5: Whole, Yeah, I thought he competed. I mean clearly, he 330 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 5: you know, was able to you know, allow our offense 331 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 5: to be explosive. I think there were some I think 332 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 5: there were some plays that, you know, the turnover plays 333 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 5: or the first one obviously, you know, even if we 334 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 5: end up having to take a sack right there, you know, 335 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 5: the interceptions for for points the other way or are 336 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 5: massive plays in a game. And then you know, we 337 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 5: were third and forever or second and forever, whatever it was, 338 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 5: and his uh, you know, we kind of had a 339 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 5: kind of designer type move, the pocket type play. Didn't 340 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 5: think we particularly protected very well on that one based 341 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 5: upon the schematics of the play. 342 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 7: But then he you know, that's not a time. 343 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 5: That we want to be heaving that ball down the 344 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 5: field as much as you know, maybe where the intent 345 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 5: of it was. But listen, he was he was trying 346 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 5: to compete. He thought he saw a chance to make 347 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 5: the throw and ends up essentially being like a punt 348 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 5: in many ways sometimes on those plays. But the first 349 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 5: one was, you know, good defensive call by them thinking 350 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 5: you're going to get manned man and maybe the perfect 351 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 5: look for the play. And as we talk about sometimes 352 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 5: especially when eighteen's on the field, if it's. 353 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 7: Too good to be true, it probably is. 354 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 5: So we got to confirm that and make sure that 355 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 5: those things don't happen. 356 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: Kevin, after the Hockinson catch gets overturned. 357 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 6: Did you think it all about kicking the field goal 358 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 6: there and saving a little time before? 359 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 5: Yep, yep, I did. It was just it was just 360 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 5: a matter of it being fourth and two. The idea 361 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 5: of still getting seven right there was you know, something 362 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 5: that I wanted to be aggressive on. 363 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 7: And then just knowing that if we. 364 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 5: Did have a scenario where with all three of our 365 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 5: timeouts left a scenario where we were getting it back, 366 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 5: if we could get seven right there, hold them and 367 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 5: then the way Will was kicking the ball, you know, 368 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 5: thought the longer since we were already so far down 369 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 5: the field. Ben you know, you you clearly if you 370 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 5: have to exhaust your three timeouts and then move it 371 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 5: maybe thirty five thirty thirty five yards or so and give. 372 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 7: Will a chance to win. 373 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 5: It was kind of the thought process there. 374 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 7: I did think this. 375 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 5: I think we got the conversion and then I did 376 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 5: I believe there was a sack and that was that 377 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 5: was a critical critical play to eat up so much 378 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 5: clock and then try to get into the right play 379 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 5: where we had a chance at TJ. 380 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 7: I believe on the next one last year. 381 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 3: Kevin will just be more another more evaluation on quarterback. 382 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 5: Going into Thursday night, or do you stay with Carson 383 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 5: going in short week? Yeah, I think we first and foremost, 384 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 5: I thought he competed and got to see how he 385 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 5: comes out health wise. Took some you know, he had 386 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 5: to use his legs there a couple of times on 387 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 5: the last drive. 388 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 7: We'll see how he how he turns. 389 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 5: Over and and uh, you know, I know Max was 390 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 5: ready to go today and JJ was an emergency three. 391 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 5: But JJ was able to get some some work last week. 392 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 5: We'll see how he feels as well. And on a 393 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 5: short week, we're gonna, you know, put together the best 394 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 5: plan we can and that's also includes the players available 395 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 5: to us. 396 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: Well, it just seems like from the games you've lost 397 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: sort of in catastrophic. 398 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: Plays, and there's something that you can in point this 399 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 2: similarity to those losses that's happened. 400 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 5: Well, I think, uh, you know, the one thing looking 401 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 5: back on it during the bye is those two losses 402 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 5: happened to coincide with you know, two of the original 403 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 5: starting five linemen going out at least offensively, and uh, 404 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 5: and then you know we're some of those catastrophic plays 405 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 5: tied to those plays. You know, I think they each 406 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 5: one of them have their their own story. But today 407 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 5: was a little bit more about kind of right. It 408 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 5: didn't really feel like we played a very complimentary football game, 409 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 5: you know when one side, you know, stopping the run 410 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 5: and getting them off the field. We were able to 411 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 5: move the ball and possess the football quite a bit today, 412 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 5: but not get seven in the in the red zone 413 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 5: when we got down there enough. And then when it 414 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 5: kind of became a little felt like a little bit 415 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 5: more of you know, offensively, we're we're doing a lot 416 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 5: of good things to move it. We just couldn't quite 417 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 5: make that one stop to kind of truly flip the game, 418 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 5: is what it felt like today. 419 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: Well, he's obviously frustrated, you know, specifically, it's like into 420 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: the buy let's please not turn it over, let's please 421 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: not have twelve penalties, and let's please not have all 422 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: these pre snap penalties. 423 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: And they got better at some. 424 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: Things, they improved in some things, but the turnovers into 425 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 1: the equation you're so right, I mean, when the Vikings 426 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: are minus four in the take give into the Chargers. 427 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 3: Game, yeah, and that's become and we're not getting them 428 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 3: on defense. Right, That was kind of the difference between 429 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 3: last year and this year twenty five I think twenty 430 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 3: five or twenty four interceptions a year ago twenty four. Yeah, 431 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 3: they're drying up now we have you know, we haven't 432 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 3: been able to get those Those go hand in hand 433 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 3: with getting pressure on the quarterback, and you just really 434 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: didn't do that today. 435 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 2: You know why that is? You have to take a 436 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: look at the film. 437 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz finished the day twenty six or forty two 438 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: for three hundred and thirteen yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions, 439 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: one was a pick six. 440 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 2: Let's hear from the Vikings quarterback. 441 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 4: Now, Carson, what. 442 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: Happened just in the red zone? And I'm being able 443 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: to finish some of these drives. 444 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, gotta look at the tape for starters. There's definitely 445 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 8: some execution I can be better at. I already know 446 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 8: a couple right away. But yeah, I mean, I like 447 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 8: to think we've been pretty good down there this year 448 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 8: so far. So some summer sect. You got to tip 449 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 8: your hat to that defense. That's kind of what they do. 450 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 8: They're willing to let you kind of take them underneath 451 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 8: stuff and then they're gonna try and not bend and 452 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 8: not break in the red zone. So they did a 453 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 8: good job, So how's off to them for that. I 454 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 8: thought we shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times. 455 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 8: Like I said, I missed, I missed a couple, and 456 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 8: so the rest I gotta go back and take a look. 457 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 8: I just come out all right, always always tough, and 458 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 8: your mind immediately goes. I got four days to turn 459 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 8: this one over, which is as tough as it gets 460 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 8: in the National Football League. 461 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 4: Not gonna lie, so we'll be right though. 462 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: Of course, in the second half, felt like you guys 463 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: kind of had. 464 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 7: A rim of beat on what they were doing. 465 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 2: What allowed but you guys to move. 466 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 7: It was in the twentiest the way you did. 467 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, I like to think, you know, moving the ball 468 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 8: inside the twenties was not an issue most of the day. 469 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 8: You know, I think we had a couple of self 470 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 8: inflicted Obviously, I gotta not throw the ball to the 471 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 8: other team. That would be that would be great. But 472 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 8: I thought I thought guys came out ready to play. 473 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 8: I thought we were able to hit some of those 474 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 8: intermediate passing game, you know. Second half, I thought we 475 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 8: came out right away running the ball right down the field. 476 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 8: Hard to say exactly what it was other than that's 477 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 8: kind of what we expected. You know, we came in 478 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 8: with the plan. We kind of stuck to the They 479 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 8: didn't do anything crazy. I thought we moved the ball decent, 480 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 8: just you know, did next get in the red zone 481 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 8: and got him not throw to the other team? 482 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 6: Chris, you take us through the pick six and Kevin 483 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 6: talked about how there's a dropper coming into that lane 484 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 6: as you're hot there. 485 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 2: What happened from your vantage point on. 486 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 8: That, Yeah, gotta see the tape a little bit, not 487 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 8: fully sure. That guy kind of surprised me where he 488 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 8: ended up. Obviously, don't throw it right to his chest, 489 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 8: that would be great. But yeah, I think I think 490 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 8: they had a good call. I think I gotta be 491 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 8: better and just progress or quite frankly, just take the 492 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 8: sack there in that scenario and not trying. I saw 493 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 8: the guy at the last second as I was releasing 494 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 8: the ball and then I was looking up at the 495 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 8: scoreboard seeing him run. 496 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: Not a good feeling. 497 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 4: I gotta be better. 498 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 8: I gotta be better in that situation, not try and 499 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 8: force it. 500 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 4: Got made a good play. 501 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 3: Can you talk us to the TJ play and then 502 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 3: where he's surprised, did you see the replay of what 503 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 3: did you think about? 504 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 8: I could see some of it, truthfully, I was trying 505 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 8: to talk to coach of what are we doing if 506 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 8: we don't get this call? 507 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 7: His touchdown? 508 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 8: So so not really sure. All I know is I 509 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 8: can throw a better ball at the end of the day. 510 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 8: I can make it a little easier on him. It 511 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 8: looks like he got his hand under it. And whether 512 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 8: it's a catch or not, you know that obviously it 513 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 8: wasn't but unbelievable play it even give himself a chance 514 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 8: like that. 515 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 4: He's a stud. But I can. 516 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 8: I can definitely make that throw easier for him. 517 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: Of course, in two turnover in four days, Like what 518 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: is what is the key to doing before? 519 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 4: It's a great question. 520 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 8: Recovery starts immediately, you know, right when you get off 521 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 8: this podium, I'll be icing.

What do you think 534 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 2: clings between you guys. 535 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's just really good.

Three weeks from this Sunday, we're back 569 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: home against the Baltimore Ravens.

But yeah, the schedules, the schedules not getting 578 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 3: any easier, Paul, this was this was a critical game, 579 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 3: big game. Be able to come out of here with 580 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 3: a win, get the four and two. I think it 581 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 3: completely kind of changes how you see the next couple 582 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 3: of weeks.
