Speaker 3: Welcome to Vikings Rewind on Kfan and the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 3: Radio Network. Vikings Rewind is presented by Omni Viking Lakes.
Speaker 2: All you Got to do? You can book your day today.
Speaker 3: Go to omnihotels dot com slash Viking Lakes. It's Nordo
Speaker 3: from nine to noon. Here Vikings starting the twenty twenty
Speaker 3: three season with a thud. Unfortunately, twenty to seventeen was
Speaker 3: the final. Yesterday, the Vikings lose to the visiting Tampa
Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers. You're going to hear next segment from head
Speaker 3: coach Kevin O'Connell. He spoke to the media earlier this afternoon.
Speaker 3: I'll also include a few kfan exclusive postgame interviews with
Speaker 3: a few players. Tatum Everett tracked down in the locker
Speaker 3: room immediately after the loss.
Speaker 2: Let's get to it.
Speaker 3: Let's rewind to the action, and it was difficult sledding
Speaker 3: for both offenses to start the game, exchanging three and outs,
Speaker 3: a couple of punts to start this one, but the
Speaker 3: second possession for the Purple yesterday, showing some promise in
Speaker 3: front of that home crowd, everyone giving it up for
Speaker 3: Bud giving it up for the Purple to start twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three on a high note.
Speaker 2: It was a nine play drive.
Speaker 3: It featured a suite chain moving eleven yard catch to
Speaker 3: TJ Hawkinson. Justin Jefferson had a thirty yard catch and run.
Speaker 3: Let's go get some points in an early lead against
Speaker 3: the visitors. Right, third and short.
Speaker 4: This happens ninth play, if a possession that's on sixty
Speaker 4: one yards and it may be over.
Speaker 5: In fact it is Cousins and.
Speaker 4: Schlotman messed up the exchange and the Buccaneers have turned
Speaker 4: over the Pikings. Joe tryon Shoyinka the one to come
Speaker 4: out of the pile with it, and the first turnover.
Speaker 3: Goes the way of Tampa Bay. I really have never
Speaker 3: seen this before. I've seen Kirk stepped on. I've seen
Speaker 3: Kirk tripping over offensive lineman. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 3: I saw both of those things occurring last year. I've
Speaker 3: never seen it where ed Ingram he essentially punched the
Speaker 3: ball out of Kirk's hands as he takes the snap
Speaker 3: and is turning back potentially into a playfake situation turnover
Speaker 3: just outside the red zone.
Speaker 2: That one was painful. We're not done now. A key
Speaker 2: part of.
Speaker 3: This game is, indeed, you know, with this new defense,
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Early on yesterday, he was flummoxy
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield and the Bucks offense orseing punt after punt
Speaker 3: after punt, inactive drive, inactive drive.
Speaker 2: Here or there and everywhere throughout the first half. Loving that.
Speaker 3: But also another key part holding onto the ball and
Speaker 3: on the ensuing Vike's possession, another giveaway.
Speaker 4: Viking zero up two on third down minus wanting to
Speaker 4: take gift, big blitz.
Speaker 5: By the Bucks.
Speaker 4: Tuslin's hit balls out Bucks ball for minus two and
Speaker 4: the take gift and they get it at the eighteen
Speaker 4: yard line and twe Winfield Junior all over the mix.
Speaker 4: In fact, he recovered it and Antoine Winfield Junior is
Speaker 4: off to a.
Speaker 5: Terrific start this game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, second play of the game he gets by Alexander
Speaker 3: Madison forces an incompletion, putting pressure on kirk On. This
Speaker 3: particular play gets the strip, sack and the recovery. Multiple
Speaker 3: plays made by the former Gopher Antoine Winfield Junior in
Speaker 3: the backfield for the Bucks yesterday. That's two turnovers, by
Speaker 3: the way, if you're keeping track. In the first ten
Speaker 3: minutes of the season, Bucks ball at the Minnesota eighteen
Speaker 3: yard line. Defense holds strong again Road team.
Speaker 2: It's the scoring started with.
Speaker 3: A field goal already six yard try leptash snap spot
Speaker 3: and the kick is good reach twenty three to go.
Speaker 3: In the first quarter, a cant pay and ears off
Speaker 3: a strip sat by Antoine Winfield Junior get a mcwaplin
Speaker 3: field calling lead to three zero final minutes of the
Speaker 3: opening quarter. As you heard there, both teams now exchange
Speaker 3: three and outs again five to three and outs yesterday
Speaker 3: for the Vikings offense.
Speaker 2: But the offense.
Speaker 3: Finally gets going in the early second quarter a six play,
Speaker 3: eighty plus yard drive.
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 3: He had seven catches for one hundred and thirty eight
Speaker 3: yards in the first half. He gets all the attention
Speaker 3: for good reason, but we also got to peek at
Speaker 3: what Jordan Addison can offer as a weapon. The rookie
Speaker 3: found himself in the end zone for the lead Minnesota four.
Speaker 3: I'm third down, Cousins, shotgun, four man rush, kirks, great drop,
Speaker 3: ste page man.
Speaker 5: Wide open good.
Speaker 4: Jordan Addison, Welcome to the National Football League.
Speaker 3: It was beautiful, quick hitting drive and score seven to three,
Speaker 3: and then the Vikings force another punt and at a
Speaker 3: field goal, a short one from Greg Joe's twenty five yards,
Speaker 3: it's ten to three in favor of the Purple. With
Speaker 3: a handful of minutes left in the half, Bucks had
Speaker 3: totaled I think around thirty total yards of offense to this.
Speaker 2: Point in the game.
Speaker 3: But then they rattle off a seven play, sixty one
Speaker 3: yard TD drive ending like this.
Speaker 4: Finger maypield out of the shot John two x two
Speaker 4: formation and we're shot white by a side Minnesota rushes.
Speaker 4: Poor Baker dances around the pocket, throws to the end zone,
Speaker 4: caught touchdown. Buccaneers Mike Evans with a twenty eight yard touchdown.
Speaker 4: He got behind or safeties and it's ten.
Speaker 3: To nine MINESOA ten ten was one oh nine to
Speaker 3: go before the break. Vikings offense is hustling again on
Speaker 3: short time JJ with a forty.
Speaker 2: Plus yard connection.
Speaker 3: Clock's ticking down, getting the end zone for a lead
Speaker 3: at half right, even a field goal makes you feel
Speaker 3: a bit better.
Speaker 2: At this point.
Speaker 3: Instead the third option, the third turnover of the half.
Speaker 3: Twenty three seconds to go on the first half, Cousins
Speaker 3: out of the shot gun, Powks fires to the end
Speaker 3: zoner close to it and packed it picked off center
Speaker 3: of the field.
Speaker 4: The Buccaneers have an interception and justin Jefferson.
Speaker 3: Smacks said interceptor that is Christian Isian, the undrafted rookie
Speaker 3: from Rutgers, and he paid for it with the Jefferson hit.
Speaker 5: But the a topic is were.
Speaker 4: Minus three minus three and the take gift.
Speaker 3: Come on Bucks, keep Vikings off the board, keep the
Speaker 3: game tied at half.
Speaker 2: And speaking of the second.
Speaker 3: Half, third quarters, if you remember a year ago, the
Speaker 3: third quarters plagued the Purple and it was similar yesterday
Speaker 3: in terms of scoring, differential long drives by the opponent,
Speaker 3: in ability to get in the end zone during third quarters.
Speaker 3: All these things were issued despite a thirteen win season
Speaker 3: a year ago.
Speaker 2: It was similar yesterday.
Speaker 3: Bucks opened the frame with a nearly nine minute drive
Speaker 3: thirteen plays.
Speaker 2: It looked like the Vikes were going to hold them
Speaker 2: to a field goal thirty.
Speaker 4: One yard dry right hash snap spot right foot at McLoughlin.
Speaker 5: Kick is good and on these seek per scoreboard. The
Speaker 5: way we have a flag. We have a flag. This
Speaker 5: is the case. If it is encroachment on us, then
Speaker 5: it's going to be a first down. Uh oh, that'll
Speaker 5: give him five. I'll give hi up yard.
Speaker 3: Ist I side defense number twenty lineup in.
Speaker 2: The neutras off Ja Ward the five yard penalty first stout.
Speaker 4: Jayward thinking he was gonna get sneaky like in that
Speaker 4: preseason game against Arizona.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a rookie mistake right there.
Speaker 2: Whoops.
Speaker 3: Three plays later, they have a rookie, Trey Palmer. He
Speaker 3: gets a touchdown, third.
Speaker 4: And goal, mayfield, empty backfield, looking left now, he swings
Speaker 4: to the middle and it's caught for up Buccaneers touchdown.
Speaker 4: It is Trey Palmer, the Nebraska rookie with his first
Speaker 4: National Football League touchdown, and the Buccaneers have perhpped a
Speaker 4: sixteen to ten lead.
Speaker 3: Seventeen to ten after the extra point. Now the Vikings
Speaker 3: answer with their most dominant drive of the game as well.
Speaker 5: Loved it.
Speaker 3: Sixteen plays, seven and a half minutes off the clock.
Speaker 3: Early fourth quarter, Alexander Madison battles his way in to tie.
Speaker 3: Alexander Madison motions across the formation of cousins.
Speaker 5: We'll thrower too, and caught at the five who stumbles
Speaker 5: his way to the two cave bo is his way
Speaker 5: into the end zone. Touch show by Games. That was all.
Speaker 4: Alexander Madison and it's seventeen sixteen Buccaneers.
Speaker 3: More punting ensues until the Bucks creep their way into
Speaker 3: purple territory and they give kicker Chase McLoughlin a chance
Speaker 3: from fifty seven.
Speaker 5: This is a fifty seven yard try righte.
Speaker 3: Hash snap spy McLoughlin, blind dry band.
Speaker 5: It's good.
Speaker 4: Chase McLoughlin from fifty seven, matching a career long has
Speaker 4: kicked the Buccaneers to a twenty seventeen lead.
Speaker 3: They always hit those, don't they They always do. That's
Speaker 3: the fatalism that I have as a rube. I apologize,
Speaker 3: but it just feels like they're always gonna hit those kicks.
Speaker 3: If you give them the chance, and at this stage
Speaker 3: of the game, just five to ten left in it. Now,
Speaker 3: the Vikings respond by going three and out for the
Speaker 3: fifth time in the game, only three possessions in the
Speaker 3: entire second half, long touchdown drive. Loved it, but then
Speaker 3: two three and outs the final two times that they
Speaker 3: had the ball. Now it's the defense. They need to
Speaker 3: make a stop and they can't.
Speaker 4: It's nervous time at us Bank Stadium. Baker out of
Speaker 4: the shotgun.
Speaker 5: He takes this half.
Speaker 4: I'm third and ten, looks right, throws right, Godwin, wide open, caught,
Speaker 4: first down.
Speaker 5: Ballgame.
Speaker 4: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't begin one to know and
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings are going to be six and two
Speaker 4: in home openers are going to lose to the Buccaneers.
Speaker 3: Clock runs out, no miracles, no late stage heroics, and
Speaker 3: that indeed, as you heard, the box is the ballgame.
Speaker 3: Vikings had an advantage in several statistical categories despite their
Speaker 3: complete inability to run the ball, but the Bucks they
Speaker 3: controlled possession. I mentioned the lack of opportunities on offense
Speaker 3: in the second half of the purple, but the Bucks
Speaker 3: were just boringly productive throughout the second half, no negative plays,
Speaker 3: keeping Baker upright, not effecting or or allowing the Vikings
Speaker 3: defense to affect and impact his play, and they were
Speaker 3: smartly handled by the visitors.
Speaker 2: Kirk was hit nine times yesterday.
Speaker 3: I mentioned Baker outside of an early daneil Hunter sack,
Speaker 3: he was just hit twice total in the game. Turnover
Speaker 3: differential three to nothing in favor of the Bucks. That's
Speaker 3: catastrophic when you're trying to win a close game. So
Speaker 3: the on to one Vikings they got to bounce back. Now,
Speaker 3: if you were doing the wins and loss tallying for
Speaker 3: the season and you expected that this one would be
Speaker 3: at w you're gonna have to find it somewhere else now.
Speaker 2: And it's a short week.

Speaker 3: lost yesterday twenty to seventeen. You heard some of the
Speaker 3: highlights and low lights from yesterday's loss at the Bank
Speaker 3: hallan season opener for the Purple. The head coach, Kevin
Speaker 3: O'Connell addressed the media earlier this afternoon.
Speaker 2: Let's hear a portion of that conversation.
Speaker 6: Injury wise, Bradbury with the back, Darsaw with his ankle,
Speaker 6: and Davenport they'll really all be day to day. They're in,
Speaker 6: you know now getting you know, different phases of recovery
Speaker 6: and starting our preparation on Philadelphia. So we'll see how
Speaker 6: those guys do and and you know, see how the
Speaker 6: lineup looks for Thursday.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 5: This is tyle wandrold Gamber. Do you watch the NFL
Speaker 5: game ship a lot.
Speaker 7: Of teams including the Vikings again and CAMPU look about
Speaker 7: a step ball or step behind where you go?
Speaker 3: Boy, it looks like that they could have gotten through
Speaker 3: some of that you know, training campus.
Speaker 7: They'd have played you know, and said you see.
Speaker 3: That at all.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, I don't know, you know about the
Speaker 6: you know, the turnovers or you know, a special teams
Speaker 6: penalty here and there. I don't know if that's the case,
Speaker 6: but my expectation is that some of those things, whether
Speaker 6: they got reps or not, that that really you know,
Speaker 6: twelve reps here, ten reps there. I don't know if
Speaker 6: that would have you know, solved that. I think we
Speaker 6: were you know, we were close in the first half.
Speaker 6: If we finished that late in the half drive, you know,
Speaker 6: to have a chance to go up seventeen to three,
Speaker 6: you know, that might have gave us opportunity to be
Speaker 6: very similar to we were to the spot we were
Speaker 6: going into the locker room a year ago in the opener,
Speaker 6: but that was not the case, you know, didn't didn't
Speaker 6: get that drive done, and then they're able to go
Speaker 6: on a drive not about a nine minute drive there
Speaker 6: to start this third quarter and tie the football football
Speaker 6: game up. So a lot of things that we can
Speaker 6: improve on and things that, like I said, self inflicted,
Speaker 6: but also things we could coach better. You know, our
Speaker 6: players just be a little bit cleaner in their execution
Speaker 6: and and you know, give ourselves a little bit better
Speaker 6: chance to not set ourselves behind the eight ball so far.
Speaker 3: Yesterday you mentioned probably un scouted pressures and early you
Speaker 3: have to basically prepare for the same.
Speaker 2: From Eagles just that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, shoot, this is gonna be
Speaker 6: you know, this is one of the best defenses in football,
Speaker 6: one of the best fronts, if not the best in
Speaker 6: the league right now. And we have a ton of
Speaker 6: respect for you know, not only the guys that you'll
Speaker 6: see in their starting units, but they've got you know,
Speaker 6: kind of a first and second wave of problems defensively.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's always.
Speaker 6: Gonna be some things where you know a team can
Speaker 6: get you, especially you know in the opener before things
Speaker 6: have been really put on tape yet based upon game
Speaker 6: plan and something that maybe they've done in the past
Speaker 6: and just given you.
Speaker 2: A little bit different look.
Speaker 6: We got to find ways to survive those downs and
Speaker 6: not turn the football over. And that's all eleven guys
Speaker 6: out there, that's not any one particular player. We made
Speaker 6: some adjustments and we're able to handle uh, you know,
Speaker 6: that pressure moving forward in the game and and and
Speaker 6: turned it into you know, some positive conversions later on.
Speaker 6: But across the board. We think, are you know, our
Speaker 6: rules and responsibilities. You know, we handle a lot in
Speaker 6: our protection schemes and and my hope is, you know
Speaker 6: we really limit those uh you know kind of free
Speaker 6: runner looks, and you know, first third down of the game,
Speaker 6: they run a really good kind of you know, te
Speaker 6: stunt there to the to the three big side, and
Speaker 6: we didn't handle it very well. And then we you know,
Speaker 6: we came back and did it a little bit better
Speaker 6: later on in the game. But how many times can
Speaker 6: we just go out and execute those on the initial
Speaker 6: opportunities is what I'm looking for, and getting off to
Speaker 6: a faster start will be critical. We'll have to do
Speaker 6: some of those things to have a chance to do
Speaker 6: that against a you know, like I said, one of
Speaker 6: the best defenses in our league.
Speaker 4: The fans and the media attend to overreact after week one,
Speaker 4: or are you going to make sure your your players in
Speaker 4: the locker room don't overreact or you want them done
Speaker 4: a little overreact from us?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a little both.
Speaker 6: Look, we you know, no opportunity in this league, regardless
Speaker 6: of when it takes place. You know, you don't want
Speaker 6: to underreact to anything. Because it's our job to acknowledge
Speaker 6: the truth, acknowledge exactly what happened, and that's us having
Speaker 6: a little bit more information about the what. But I
Speaker 6: totally understand that reaction, especially with the excitement building for
Speaker 6: hopefully this football team. We didn't get it done yesterday,
Speaker 6: and that's where we've got to go back and acknowledge
Speaker 6: on a short week the things that you know, both
Speaker 6: we caused ourselves, the things that the opponent caused, and
Speaker 6: then what opportunities did we miss possibly in the game
Speaker 6: on you know, any one of our three phases that
Speaker 6: the outcome would have been different. So I think there's
Speaker 6: all the above involved in as we comprehend, you know, yes,
Speaker 6: with a mindset of moving forward. And you know, no
Speaker 6: better way to feel better about what happened yesterday than
Speaker 6: to go play a really good game on Thursday and
Speaker 6: and go try to win a game on the road
Speaker 6: in one of the toughest places to play against a
Speaker 6: really good team. But I've got nothing but confidence in
Speaker 6: our football team, you know, and maybe even more so
Speaker 6: after watching the tape yesterday, knowing how close things were
Speaker 6: to be, maybe a different result. But you got to
Speaker 6: give Tampa credit and you know, we can talk about
Speaker 6: could of what it should is all we want, but
Speaker 6: ultimately that result was what it was, and now it's
Speaker 6: how we handle that as a football team and an
Speaker 6: organization moving forward that I think is the most important thing.
Speaker 2: Is Viking's head coach Kevin O'Connell with the media earlier.
Speaker 3: Today, a chance to reflect upon yesterday's loss, But yesterday
Speaker 3: was it was infinitely more immediate in the locker room
Speaker 3: following the loss, and Tatum Everett was down there to
Speaker 3: chat with a few players, including running back Alexander Madison.
Speaker 2: Is the reason for the struggles today.
Speaker 8: It's one of the big things, you know, being ourselves.
Speaker 8: Have to make sure that we eliminate those plays. You
Speaker 8: can't win close games or rarely do you win close
Speaker 8: games when you lose the turnover margin.
Speaker 5: By that much.
Speaker 8: So cleaning that up and not beating ourselves something that
Speaker 8: we have to make sure we emphasize. And you know,
Speaker 8: look at everyone, look a look at the man in
Speaker 8: the mirror, and look at what we can do better
Speaker 8: to avoid that going forward, because that was a big
Speaker 8: reason why the ball didn't roll our way this time.
Speaker 9: How much of that could be because there weren't so
Speaker 9: many preseason reps like game reps for you guys, Like,
Speaker 9: is it harder to get into that rhythm when maybe
Speaker 9: you hadn't really been in that environment before.
Speaker 8: It definitely is just like kind of a switch. You know,
Speaker 8: you go straight from practice to game. Mentality and something
Speaker 8: that you have to adjust to. But you know that
Speaker 8: it usually takes you know, a couple series to get going.
Speaker 8: I think that we started off pretty good.
Speaker 10: We just.
Speaker 8: Turn the ball over and that's where you know, you
Speaker 8: lose momentum and you kind of start back at square
Speaker 8: one again.
Speaker 2: You have to get the feel for it again. You
Speaker 2: have to get the confidence again.
Speaker 8: So yeah, that's just kind of where we have to
Speaker 8: make sure we.
Speaker 3: Fix as Alexander Madison with Tatum Everett and sticking with
Speaker 3: the offense. She also got the chance to chat with
Speaker 3: tight end TJ. Hawkinson. Eight catches just thirty five yards
Speaker 3: on the day for him, but among all the negatives
Speaker 3: versus being traded and starting mid season with the Purple
Speaker 3: a year ago, at least he was here from minute
Speaker 3: one and able to settle in through a full off
Speaker 3: season in training camp.
Speaker 10: Yeah, no doubt, obviously not the results we wanted, you know,
Speaker 10: just a long time in camp and then being able
Speaker 10: to come.
Speaker 5: Out and play in front of these fans.
Speaker 10: Obviously, it's very disappointing for us, but you know it's
Speaker 10: it's nice to get the season started, and you know,
Speaker 10: we're looking forward to to turn this thing around from
Speaker 10: here and going out and get some wins.
Speaker 7: Why do you think it was so hard to develop
Speaker 7: a rhythm against that front today?
Speaker 10: You know, they were just throwing a lot at us.
Speaker 10: We kind of knew that coming in that they're gonna,
Speaker 10: you know, bring some some blisses from the edge, you
Speaker 10: know of the their their flood and all that. But you know,
Speaker 10: I mean it was it was just one of those things.
Speaker 10: We got heated up a couple of times. Things took
Speaker 10: a little longer to develop, and you know, we weren't
Speaker 10: able to execute the way we wanted so.
Speaker 7: So short week. So one of the things Bud Great
Speaker 7: used to say all the time, and he told us
Speaker 7: Tavin O'Connell pretty often, was short memory. So you have
Speaker 7: to really file this one short memory and and how
Speaker 7: do you approach this week with that mindset?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean you can't think about this. This is
Speaker 10: too long, you know, I mean we gotta flush it.
Speaker 10: We gotta watch the tape on our own because we
Speaker 10: don't have time to watch it with together, you know,
Speaker 10: So watch this on our own, get ready for Philly
Speaker 10: and you know Thursday night game, primetime game. We want
Speaker 10: to go out and give us give it what we
Speaker 10: got and you know.
Speaker 2: Show show the world what the Minnesota Vikings are.
Speaker 11: It's d J.
Speaker 3: Hawkinson and then finally Viking safety cam buying them. Spent
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes with Tatum and here he is
Speaker 3: highlighting some of the inadequacies on the defensive side of
Speaker 3: the ball that ultimately contributed to a loss.
Speaker 5: They just lose small things. They're a little small.
Speaker 11: There weren't a lot of big plays, but a lot
Speaker 11: of the small completions that they had, maybe whether it's
Speaker 11: someone getting out of their zone or any of us
Speaker 11: maybe shaking one tackle. But those are small things that
Speaker 11: really added up to really give us the disadvantage that
Speaker 11: we didn't want. And that's the exciting part about the
Speaker 11: loss though. It's really small mistakes that we're able to fix.
Speaker 11: We felt good, especially in the first half. We played well,
Speaker 11: but we have to carry that into the second half
Speaker 11: and play better.
Speaker 7: What are some of those small things that you need
Speaker 7: to clean up, really.
Speaker 11: Just things like quarterback vision and being in our zones,
Speaker 11: being more a lot, a lot quicker to the ball
Speaker 11: when the ball when the quarterbacks and tensions are there,
Speaker 11: because especially if we're sending pressure that we know that
Speaker 11: the ball has to come out fast. So just that
Speaker 11: understanding of when we're playing aggressive, when we're playing a
Speaker 11: little more passive. We have to be able to see
Speaker 11: the difference in that and be able to play more
Speaker 11: aggressive on certain things.
Speaker 7: How did it feel playing this scheme out there and real,
Speaker 7: you know, real game like situation for you guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. It was really fun.
Speaker 11: I think there's a really big upside for us, and
Speaker 11: I know that it's going to be really effective.
Speaker 2: Especially this is our first game.
Speaker 11: So not that we expect any mistakes, but we know that that's.
Speaker 2: Obviously going to happen.
Speaker 11: It's our first game in a new scheme, and I
Speaker 11: think we're in a good spot. We just have to
Speaker 11: carry that aggression and the execution through the whole game,
Speaker 11: because we did it well in the first half, but
Speaker 11: coming back after half we didn't play as well.
