1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: It is officially football season. As we welcome you to

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: the Week one edition of the Minnesota Vikings Podcast, presented

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: by PEPSI. I'm Gabe Henderson, Tatum Everett, Jay Noson, Eric Davison.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: They're all here, and guys, the team in Purple opened

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: the season at home for the second straight season, this

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: time against Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: over the past seven months we've sat right here in

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: these three seats and we've previewed the Minnesota Vikings over

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: and over and over. Well, guys, the time is now

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: and regular season Viking football is back. When you think

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: of those four words regular season Vikings football, we'll get

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: you excited about that, Tatum, that it's here.

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: We can like it's like a tangible It's going to happen.

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 2: Things matter, Uh, it's all. Everything's on the line now.

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: Everything you know talking season is over. It's now time

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: for it to be put together on the field. And

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: like many Vikings fans, I'm very excited to unveil what

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: has been going on with these starters because as much

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: joint as we may have observed, it's just still not

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: the same as game experience, and so you know, I

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: just want to see what's what's going to happen. I mean,

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: last year there are so many unknowns, and this year

23
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: I feel like maybe there are fifty percent unknowns.

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: And I think the biggest thing for me is this

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: is always kind of the official kickoff to the marathon

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: of the NFL season, between the Thursday night games and

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: Monday night games and everything in between, playoff season, et cetera,

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: et cetera. Like this is when it really counts. You know,

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: all the other stuff is window dressing and this is

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: the actual, actual game time. And I think for a

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: lot of fans, the excitement of not only having a

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: home game for Week one, but just the idea of

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: all of the questions that we've been bantering about for

35
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: all of the offseason are now finally going to at

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: least rear their ugly heads potentially just to find out,

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: you know, this is the real real At this point,

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: we're at a point where, you know, all the discussions go,

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: there's adjustments in everything that's going to get made, et cetera,

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: et cetera, but you want to start it off by

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: putting your best foot forward. And everyone's going to be

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: very very excited come Sunday at noton.

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: I know you're very excited also for Sunday at noon.

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: With all the work that the Vikings Entertainment Network and

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: this Minnesota Vikings organization has done to get fans to

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: this point of getting into the stadium, the classic jerseys,

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: all of the preparation that's going behind it. From that standpoint,

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: can you provide fans with kind of that inside of

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: everything that's going to happen when they step into us

50
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: being stadium on Sunday.

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: Sure, you know, one of the things for us, we

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: take a ton of pride in just the amount of

53
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: effort and the kind of showmanship that we bring on

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: a game by game basis, and this year was no exception.

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of the stuff that people have

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: seen over the last three years that we've gone through

57
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: and altered and everything. This year brand new, brand new

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: intro sequence, brand new beginning to another fun season, and

59
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: so we're looking forward to seeing what the fans think

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: of it. In the past, we had the Symphony of

61
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: the North and kind of Jim Marshall discussing what it

62
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: means to be a Viking and everything. Given everything that

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: we just talked about, knowing that this is the kickoff

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: Classic weekend, there's gonna be a lot of stuff that's

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: going to really tie in this first weekend, and you know,

66
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: just seeing the fresh new jerseys with the different helmets

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: and everything else too. I just think there's gonna be

68
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: a lot of things that people are really gonna be

69
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: able to see that's kind of new and shiny this week,

70
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 3: So be sure to get into your seats and into

71
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 3: the building early as possible. There's gonna be a ton

72
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: of fun stuff. We're doing tons of retro throwback pieces

73
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: that we even found from yesteryear, and so I just

74
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: think for the fans it's going to be especially the

75
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: older fans, there's gonna be a lot of stuff they're

76
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: going to recognize. And for the younger fans, you know,

77
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: kind of the retro classic stuff is always something that

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: you were interested in doing too, So I think for us,

79
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: you know, we're just excited to actually put it out there,

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: let the fans officially see it and be able to

81
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: run with it for the rest.

82
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Of the season.

83
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: There are so many Easter eggs for sure throughout the

84
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: stadium from every you guys have literally left no light

85
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: in an led.

86
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: Screen on throw back eyes.

87
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, no, but yeah, everything is just like so thoughtful,

88
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: from their player trading cards, the plaza. The plaza is

89
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: gonna have a classic car show. I mean it's from

90
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: the uniforms to the to NBC. There's gonna be so

91
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: many different touches.

92
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: Josh Dea mel is gonna be there for Buddy games

93
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: and that's very true.

94
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah last week.

95
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's the thing, Like, there's just there's a

96
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: ton of stuff. As much as a launch for a

97
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: season and in a week one game is usually kind

98
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: of fun and exciting and energetic and chaotic. This is

99
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: going to be to the next level because of the

100
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: fact that we're doing the classic game right out the

101
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: gate week one against the Buccaneers. So for us, we're

102
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: looking forward to it. It's been a ton of work.

103
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 3: It's a labor of love and we always love being

104
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: able to put that kind of stuff out for the fans,

105
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: so hopefully they enjoy it and for us, you know,

106
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: it's it's a culmination of over half a year, two

107
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: a year's worth of planning and prep and Arthur Ku

108
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: and Alan Wertheimer and Lauren and just everybody associated with

110
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: the final touches on it, but we're just looking forward

111
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: to be able to officially launch it and let the

112
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: fans consume it than hopefully enjoyed for the rest of

113
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: the season.

114
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure the comments are going to be busy

00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: bye bye by eight am on Sunday, especially because Josh

116

121
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: PEPSI that's what I like portion of the show. So

122
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: for this portion, each of us will have the opportunity

123
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: to talk about one thing, one thing that we like

124
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: about the Vikings heading into Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

125
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: Here's the here's the catch here. Similar to Sunday, there's

126
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: a forty second play clock. So for this we will

127
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: follow suit. And you know what, Tatum, you rose your eyes.

128
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: No, no, no, not me, because I was excited.

129
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: Me a countdown.

130
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: Sure, Well, let's just start with you give me the clock.

131
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Jacob will be the clock master. All right, Tatum, you've

132
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: got forty seconds to tell us what you like about

133
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings in their Sunday matchup against the Bucks.

134
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: So I really like the offense and its consistency, the

135
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: experience coming back eight of eleven players from week one

136
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: last week, the starters eight of eleven players are starting

137
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: this time around the other three it's a running back,

138
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: a tight end, and a receiver. Well, they were on

139
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: the team Osborne, Madison, Hockinson later on, whether they're backups

140
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: or they were additions later on that season. So I mean,

141
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: I love the experience, and I'm excited to see what

142
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell in year two as a play caller can

143
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: do with all of those pieces.

144
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: And I just think it's going to be great two.

145
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: So I could, oh, yes, that last part was part

146
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: of it too.

147
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: I guess I kind of slowed down there at the

148
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: end because I was like, that's all I.

149
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: Was going to say, Now, you're good. That is a

150
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: positive son for this Minnesota Vikings team. Continuity is always

151
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: a great thing to have, and especially when you have

152
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: done your offensive line, having all five of your starters back,

153
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: that makes everyone better. So a really good point there.

154
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: Well, it's a good thing because it's the top ten

155
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: offense too, And I did not have that part in

156
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: there because if it were like a thirty to thirty

157
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: second bake offense, I may not be singing the same tune.

158
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: But because they were top ten, top eight in multiple categories,

159
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: I think I think that is what really makes seals

160
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: the deal for me. So maybe I was like, forty

161
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: five seconds, sorry about that, No, you're.

162
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: Fine, who's kicking? Tell me this?

163
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: You are clock start over. If it's a new play

164
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: that is.

165
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: True, you get a delay of game, or if you don't,

166
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: get sure yeah, whatever, but look it's the first one.

167
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: We'll have fun with him to go from there. Jay, Yes,

168
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: forty seconds, Yes on the clock? You ready? Yep, here

169
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: we go.

170
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: I kind of flip side of what Tatum was just

171
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: talking about. For me, the thing that I'm actually excited

172
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: about for this weekend is the unknown nature of what's

173
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: about to happen. Strength on strength. Our offense is very

174
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: strong and their defense is very strong. I'm actually excited

175
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: about what is our defense going to do against their offense.

176
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: Their offense is a lot of question marks at this point,

177
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: given the especially the new quarterback and the man at

178
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: the helm with Baker Mayfield at the same point, I

179
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: have a ton of faith in a guy like Flores

180
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: that he's going to bring an a game and game

181
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: plan with his defensive starters at this point out on

182
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: that field, and so for me, it's going to be

183
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: a lot of fun to see how they compete this weekend.

184
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Right on time, Eric, I would give you my stopwatch,

185
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: all right, so the I guess the floor's mind. Eric,

186
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: you have the stopwatch, and we're already going. And since

187
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: we're already going, someone else is going to be scoring

188
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns on Sunday, and that's mister Justin Jefferson. I'm just

189
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: so excited to see what that looks like in Purple

190
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: for another year. I mean, we already know that the

191
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns are going to be reflect it in this contract,

192
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: that that is pretty much set in stone. But now

193
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: we finally get to see what JJ can do for

194
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: years to come. It starts now. You really don't know

195
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: what a player is until he gets paid. And now

196
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: that JJ has this opportunity, I think he's going to

197
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: come out on top, guns blazing against the defense, especially

198
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: a secondary in the books that are still trying to

199
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: figure it out. They're kind of young, they don't know,

200
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: which makes a recipe for success for JJ bing bing

201
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: bing nicely doing. But I mean, I feel like JJ

202
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: is always an easy topic. But since we've been talking

203
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: about so many other things around here, I feel like

204
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: just talking about the main thing. That's what this offense

205
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: in this team is going to follow the guy who

206
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: works number eighteen.

207
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 2: And I think it's even more exciting now because you

208
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: have an offense that's being that was built this off

209
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: season to distract teams from selling out on covering JJ

210
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: and JJ alone, with the addition of Josh Oliver in

211
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: there as to give Kirk extra time to have Jordan

212
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: Addison maybe pulling a guy off of JJ, and even

213
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: if they double cover JJ, then it leaves Jordan Adison open.

214
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: And I think that's such an exciting thing to see,

215
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: is that it's a fair point that we don't talk

216
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: about him enough, but they are building an offense around

217
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: making him more available.

218
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: Everything in an offensive game plan is about mismatches and

219
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: just trying to get one on one or at least

220
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: coverages within zones where you can just death by a

221
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: thousand paper cuts, and so for them to be able

222
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: to see you got it hurt?

223
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

224
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: I hear the Taylor swift, so that I was hearing

225
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: to be able to see an offensive coordinator and a

226
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: former quarterback in Kevin O'Connell who's now the head coach,

227
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: that is what he wants. How many times have we

228
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: seen on mic d up they've got the alignment and everything,

229
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: they go to snap the ball and he'll just muddle

230
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: under his breath a name of whoever is going to

231
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: be the primary just seeing what the matchup is.

232
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: That's the whole goal.

233
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: If you're a defense and you're going to sit there

234
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 3: and say we're going to do bracket coverage and we're

235
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: going to potentially even do triple coverage on a guy

236
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: like Justin, then you have to contend with the speediness

237
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: of kJ Osbore and you have to contend with the

238
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: shiftiness in Addison as well. And so for me, just

239
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: the idea of both of those guys, let alone resigning

240
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: Hockinson and everybody else with Naylor just speed that was

241
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: something that was predicated with his previous team and now

242
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: it's a thing that we're trying to do here too,

243
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 3: and it's not that hard to figure out that their

244
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: whole point is going to be just stressing defenses. Again,

245
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: their defense is very strong, at least they were at

246
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: the end of last season. But for me, I have

247
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: a ton of faith knowing that if we're going to

248
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 3: put that kind of stress, you're going to get two, three,

249
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: four plays that are just going to be completely open.

250
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: And that's where a guy who's as deadly as Kirk

251
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: is and hitting those kind of plays where that's why

252
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: you're paying them what you're paying them. So for me,

253
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: that's why this game really comes down to just three

254
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 3: or four major plays. If you hit those things, you

255
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: should be able to help sprint and just put the

256
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: pressure on their offense to try to have to.

257
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: Keep it exactly Early is key.

258
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: Star fast, finish strong, And that's the thing for this

259
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings team this year. We know third quarter last

260
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: year wasn't the greatest, and I know that's something Kevin

261
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: O'Connell addressed earlier this offseason of you know, we want

262
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: to be great right after the half, and when you

263
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: have all those threats on the offensive side of the ball,

264
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: that can free up space for a guy that wors

265
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: number eighteen in purple. That makes everyone better. But earlier

266
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: this week, the Vikings they released their unofficial depth chart

267
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: before the Week one Bucks game, and one thing that

268
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: stood out to me was that the Viking are confident

269
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: in having six safeties on this fifty three man roster.

270
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: That wasn't a change at all. If you want to

271
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: look at the full six safety lists, head on over

272
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: to Vikings dot com right now. When you look at

273
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: this fifty three man roster, jay just the new list

274
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: that just came out. What are some things that stood

275
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: out to you?

276
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: Thing that jumps out to me the most was just

277
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: looking at certain positions to figure out where the strengths

278
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: were for this team in general. One thing that was

279
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: really interesting, though defensively, was the fact that at nose

280
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: tackle they only had two players listed, Harrison Phillips and

281
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: Carrie's Tonga. That to me was just something going those

282
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: guys are going to get a ton of playing time

283
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 3: at that nose tackle position.

284
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: That also tends to.

285
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: Feel like if they are going to end up playing

286
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: more like you just talked about, with all those safeties,

287
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: some sort of you know, dimer nickel or kind of

288
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: extra safety coverage and stuff. How much is that nose

289
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: tackle position going to be utilizing some of those those places.

290
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: There's a ton more outside linebackers and kind of defensive

291
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: end players as well listed So if you're truly going

292
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 3: to have nose tackle, the fact that you have Harrison

293
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: and Kyries out there again, they're going to get a

294
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: ton of time.

295
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see.

296
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: Hopefully they've been doing a ton of conditioning this offseason

297
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 3: because they're going to.

298
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: Get a lot of run. Yeah, that's the number one

299
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: thing this Buccaneers offense is going to test is our

300
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: defensive line. And when you are the Buccaneers and you

301
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,239
Speaker 1: had the worst running offense in the NFL, literally dead last,

302
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: what you want to do with the new year, with

303
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: the new running back committee is see how we can

304
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: establish the run. We know their offense is going to

305
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: be predicated on play action passing, and you can't do

306
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: play action passing if you don't run the ball effectively.

307
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: So our defensive line is going to have to hold

308
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: up jet.

309
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the biggest thing for us is

310
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: just knowing that that was a source of pain last

311
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: year and at the last couple of years. And I

312
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: know that there was also some concern preseason wise there

313
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: were a couple teams that.

314
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: Were running up some yardage on us. So I know

315
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: that the number ones weren't in there.

316
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: I know that the main players weren't there, but that

317
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: just means that, you know, I think all eyes are

318
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: going to be on that position and just trying to

319
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: see if there is a noticeable difference when it comes

320
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: to the aggressive nature of what this defense wants to do.

321
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: And I think that's something that whether it's up the

322
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 3: gut or out on the edges that defensively, they they're

323
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: going to have to be a lot more stout than

324
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: they were last season.

325
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 4: Five names for three spots.

326
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's just that's what you have

327
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 2: to think about though, you know, like that to fit

328
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 2: your point perfectly pressures to be coming from a lot

329
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: of different places that I think we're used to seeing

330
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: in this defense.

331
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: And the other thing that's interesting too is my mind

332
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: starts running to the New Orleans playoff game where all

333
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: of a sudden they started moving, you know, at the

334
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: time Everson into that middle spot, and it starting going like,

335
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: maybe there's some plans for Daniel and some other guys

336
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: that are more of the speedy guys to kind of

337
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: do a little bit more bull rushing up the middle.

338
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: If if you go from needing extra bodies to go

339
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: in there, like who's going to do that? Having those longer,

340
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: quicker guys trying to you know, split the guard and

341
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: centers at that point might be kind of fun to

342
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: watch too. So you just never know what these guys

343
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: what they're going to want to do, but it ought

344
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: to be fun.

345
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: How does that make you feel? When Jay says Everson

346
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: Griffin to Neil Hunter rushing the Saints winning.

347
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: A playoff, Okay, okay, yeah, I mean water under the bridge, right, yeah.

348
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that was the thing for us. It was

349
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: just seeing something different. I mean, for how long we

350
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: saw traditional four to three defense and then having that

351
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: kind of stuff happened, just seeing what kind of chaos

352
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: that created. If if a Flores defense is kind of

353
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: known for being controlled chaos, something like that is an

354
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: out of the realm of possibility. It's completely different staff,

355
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: it's completely different group of people. But you know, just

356
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: trying to figure out, like what are your other options?

357
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: Then if you've only got two nose tackles listed here,

358
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: what other kind of formations. Are they going to run

359
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: so those guys aren't completely gassed by the end of

360
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: the game.

361
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean, look at the rookie Jaquill and

362
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: Roy getting in there. You know, we talked about the

363
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: five names. He's a rookie and he's backing up the

364
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: two d ns and there's only two starting d end

365
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: so like, yeah, he's definitely gonna get a lot of

366
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: reps this this season as well.

367
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: So Tatum, what stands out to you about this three

368
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: man roster?

369
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: Well, I will go to the offensive side of things,

370
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: and as much consistency as there was that I said

371
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: in the beginning of the POTT, I really think it's

372
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: quite interesting that there are four tight ends. You know,

373
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: we knew nickmws was a preseason standout, and I'm you know,

374
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: and I was a little worried, not worried.

375
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: I was curious whether or not it would stay.

376
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: For post all of the shuffling, Like, you know, it's

377
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: the initial fifty three man roster that he'd made. And

378
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: when we list that depth chart of the active fifty three,

379
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: like where will he end up? And he's on there,

380
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: And I think that that's just a testament to utilizing

381
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: the tight ends as an extra offensive lineman at times,

382
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: how maybe important he is with the special teams, and

383
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: so yeah, you know, I'm just curious about that.

384
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see that.

385
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: And then also seeing David Questenberry, who we've not seen

386
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: with the team once since he was a roster pickup

387
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: after the initial fifty three, backing up Christian Dearsau. So yeah,

388
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's in some positions you kind of scratch

389
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: your head. There's like a multitude of talent, and then

390
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: you see some where you're like, man, I would feel

391
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: much better if there's an extra person behind them. But

392
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: you trust the coaches and what their schemes are and

393
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: what they're drawing up, and that's what I'll do.

394
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 4: Faith in my faith is in Chaos.

395
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: And Koc we trust, and in floor as we trust.

396
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: I feel like offense and defense are two different. I mean,

397
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: just the spectrum of how they ended up at towards

398
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: the end of the season last year. We got to

399
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: trust both of those guys to be able to make

400
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: this team better in twenty twenty three.

401
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for me, it all starts on Sunday. Just

402
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: you want to put your best foot forward, Like I said, earlier,

403
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: not to just beat a dead horse here, but it's

404
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 3: the whole thing of knowing that Philly Week two game

405
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 3: is on a Thursday. It's gonna be tough enough going

406
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 3: to Philly, but also being a Thursday. You got to

407
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 3: take care of this one at home on Sunday, just

408
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: to leave a you know, good taste in your mouth

409
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 3: after the game, and just to kind of set you

410
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 3: up and launch yourself for Week two and try to

411
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: you know, do what you can in Philly on that

412
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: Thursday night. I know that, I'm sure there's got to

413
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: be some look ahead already going. Yeah, you know, coaching

414
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 3: wise and game plan wise, but you got to handle

415
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 3: your business on Sunday in order to do the quick

416
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: turnaround on Thursday.

417
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: I'm excited to hear from the coaching staff and maybe

418
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: talk to them about how preparing for Philly this year

419
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: is just completely different potentially than it was last year.

420
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, speaking of those games, there are two games

421

453
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: I talked to your manager the other last night and

454
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: he was just giving us some ideas of what he

455
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: has for the podcast, and I think he's going to

456
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: be very fun. But one thing he did say is

457
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: BA is focused on football.

458
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: No doubt this is.

459
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 7: I mean, I was here and I was picked to

460
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 7: come out here and play ball, so but I'm also

461
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 7: trying to maximize who I am as a person and

462
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 7: doing a podcast with something I always wanted to do. So, Uh,

463
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 7: it's strictly football, but you know, definitely can have some

464
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 7: fun with it too.

465
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got other passions, as you can say, focusing

466
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: on the main one, yes, but but this off season

467
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: when you think about, you know, maybe looking at what

468
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: you could potentially do to pursue other things or your

469
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 2: other interests and stuff. What was the idea behind wanting

470
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: to do the podcast?

471
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 7: See, I always wanted to do a podcast because it

472
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 7: started from when NIL started and a lot of people

473
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 7: are maximizing things that they could, you know, get profit

474
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 7: off of, and podcasts I think was the thing that

475
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 7: was blown up with the I am athlete and stuff

476
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 7: like that.

477
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 5: So I was like, this looked pretty cool.

478
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 7: I can definitely see myself doing something like this, you know,

479
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 7: whether it's answering the questions or asking the questions.

480
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 5: And I just fell in love with it.

481
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 7: And this is something that I think this can go

482
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 7: real well and then something I enjoyed doing as well.

483
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: So yeah, me, hear you have guests coming, so like

484
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: you're going to ask the questions.

485
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm really interested in this now.

486
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 5: I hope, So yeah, I will be asking the questions

487
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 5: for sure.

488
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: Verbatim Ba told me, he said, I am asking hard

489
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: hitting questions.

490
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 7: I am.

491
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 6: I love it.

492
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: I am.

493
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: You're not gonna want to go on your podcast A

494
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: long may not want to go. They know that about

495
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 4: you though, Now I get it.

496
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: Hard hitting podcast for a guy who hits hard on

497
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: the field, just understanding, right, just understanding that year two

498
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: is a couple of days away. When when you just

499
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: think about that, just not not just from ex's and perspective,

500
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: but going into another year where you have a better

501
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: understanding of the game. How excited are you about that?

502
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 7: It's pretty cool because I mean I remember sitting here

503
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 7: in these seats last year and I'm like, things are

504
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 7: things are kind of going a little bit fast, and

505
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 7: now that things have kind of slowed down, I'm understanding

506
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 7: the defense understanding you know why. You know, teams are

507
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 7: doing certain things to you know, our defense. It kind

508
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 7: of slows the game down, and this is this is

509
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 7: gonna be a good year. And I'm excited because of

510
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 7: you know, my preparation, and my preparation is gonna meet

511
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 7: my opportunities. So I'm gonna take advantage of it when

512
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 7: it does come.

513
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: The game slows down, however, you get a new scheme,

514
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: does that play a factor into the learning curve that

515
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: you have to adjust to.

516
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 7: I feel like the learning curve was you know in

517
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 7: OTAs and training camp. Now you know we're kind of

518
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 7: playing freely and you know, working on adjustments and making

519
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 7: checks and stuff like that. So now the game has

520
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 7: definitely slowed down, and now we're playing with you know,

521
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 7: our our heads on fire and going out there and

522
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 7: just executing. That was that's kind of like the main

523
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 7: thing is just executing every single time.

524
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 5: So it's crazy.

525
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what the execution looks like because

526
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: the preseason. I don't want to use the word of

527
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: vanilla because that's I don't think that's fair to what

528
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: athletes do on the field in the preseason.

529
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, so did you see that? I guess people

530
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 4: use that to describe.

531
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Right, but I fully understand where he's coming from. But

532
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: I feel like we'll see the fire. Oh my god,

533
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: Like what excites you without giving away too much, what

534
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: excites you about turning that fire up on Sunday.

535
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 7: My favorite announcer in college football was Gus Johnson, and

536
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 7: he would always third down.

537
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 5: He would always go like pressure, pressure, pressure, And I feel.

538
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 7: Like this Minnesota Vikings defense is coming with pressure this year,

539
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 7: so just wait to a third down, maybe second down,

540
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, second and long. It's gonna

541
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 7: be fun.

542
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 5: It's gonna be fun.

543
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 6: I know.

544
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: The cliche answer is to say I prepared the same

545
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: every game, whether I'm starting or I'm backing up, and

546
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: I get that, but this is your job now, Like

547
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 2: you know that you're the man, you're the guy. What's

548
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: an example of something that you've done to make sure

549
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: that that moment is your moment you're ready for it

550
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 2: as opposed to last year when you knew you could

551
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 2: learn a little bit more behind.

552
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 7: Eric honestly, just taking advantage of that. Honestly, I think

553
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 7: it's being where my feet are, and that's you know,

554
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 7: taking advantage of every single day, every single meeting, writing

555
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 7: things down. Like you know, when you're that bad, you know,

556
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 7: you kind of get a little bit of a leeway,

557
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 7: you know, of not really having to be focused, but

558
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 7: you have to be focused because you can you're not

559
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 7: playing as much. But when you're the guy, when you're

560
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 7: the starter, I mean, you got to go out there

561
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 7: and execute on every single play. So you know that

562
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 7: that one rep that you didn't you know, focus on

563
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 7: in practice and you got beat on it, and if

564
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 7: you don't go out there and correct it before the game,

565
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 7: you could get exposed. So yeah, the details are very

566
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 7: important and you have to pay attention to those you know,

567
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 7: little details in order for the success to go, well, you.

568
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: Said a word leeway. When when did that leeway? When

569
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: did you start to understand that leeway of you know,

570
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's starting to get shorter and shorter and shorter.

571
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean just basically saying you're not a rookie anymore.

572
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: So when did that? When did I hit for you?

573
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 7: I think when I started playing last year? Yeah, I

574
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 7: was like, okay, I gotta be with my p's and

575
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 7: q's every single snap, like.

576
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 5: Because that one snap.

577
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 7: You know, in football, the instruments can be up at

578
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 7: any moment on defense, like they can start singing touchdowns,

579
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 7: so that that one snap that you're not dialed in,

580
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 7: that could be a touchdown. And that's how I kind

581
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 7: of prepare. I was like, you know, how can the

582
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 7: coach what can they draw up to out scheme? You

583
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 7: know the players? You know, when you're out there on defense,

584
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 7: you gotta you gotta think about beating the You gotta

585
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 7: think about beating the Buccaneers head coach Tod Boles.

586
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 5: What does he do?

587
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 7: What is what is his favorite you know things do

588
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 7: on offensive but also on defense. So beating him and

589
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 7: focusing on you know what things you're about to get

590
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 7: will definitely make things slow down for you and I

591
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 7: think will go well.

592
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: Take us inside of Brian flores Ran defensive meeting.

593
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: What does that look like?

594
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: Definitely starts with music at first.

595
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 4: He a favorite artist.

596
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 7: No, he actually tells me to go play music because

597
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 7: you got the bump box. Yeah, so everybody everyone for

598
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 7: a while now, yeah, everyone specially knows that play music.

599
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 7: So you know, I think we have The meeting usually

600
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 7: starts around thirty five, So he gives me five minutes

601
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 7: to play song and if it's trash's like, come on,

602
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 7: be I need something better than that. Usually, you know,

603
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 7: I'll play something that's that's really good for you know

604
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 7: what we're about to do. For instance, today it was

605
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 7: a full pad of practice, so I'm trying to get

606
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 7: everybody's juice up and yeah, so I just played music

607
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 7: and after that, straight into business mode. He's focused, He's

608
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 7: given us what we need to do. Our alerts are

609
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 7: checks and then we go from there. But we definitely

610
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 7: have some time for fun. But when it's time for business,

611
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 7: it's time for business.

612
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: So how many next do you get in order to

613
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: be before somebody says put somebody else in the ox.

614
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 5: I never have a next.

615
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: I feel like that's pressure music.

616
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, music has always been something I enjoyed in my life,

617
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 7: whether it's you know, being on the X or just listening.

618
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 7: It's always been my favorite. So I know a lot

619
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 7: of songs, and you know, usually when I'm playing songs,

620
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 7: I never.

621
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 5: Heard this before.

622
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 7: Hey what's that song called? I get that a lot,

623
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 7: so never get a next. But if I do, man,

624
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 7: I probably still won't give it the crowd the ox.

625
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: So how do you find? How do you find what's

626
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: next to music? What is your go to? How do

627
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: you discover?

628
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 7: I go, I go to the Apple Music. There's like

629
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 7: a little tab whereas like discovered new music or like

630
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 7: new mixes whatever. So I will just sit there if

631
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 7: on board, just listening to music, watching film, listen to

632
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 7: new music. And then from there I'm like, oh this

633
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 7: sounds good, boom, save it. And then I come in

634
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 7: here play it. People love it, they haven't heard it before.

635
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 7: That's how it's pretty smoothy.

636
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: I guess you never realized how many bad songs are

637
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: on Apple Music until you go to like the discovery

638
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: page and it's like, well, I wouldn't say bad, but

639
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: like I mean just not my style. Of music.

640
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, facts that there's definitely a lot of genres. So

641
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 7: sometimes like I see, it's our automatic skip now you

642
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 7: go from there. But to be the AUCS, you have

643
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 7: to be able to listen to all types of genres

644
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 7: in order to fulfill you know, the crowd or whoever

645
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 7: with good music.

646
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: Let's skip the Sunday when you walk out that tunnel,

647
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: like they call your name out, what do you think

648
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: is going to be going through your head during that

649
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: moment after several months of no football, it's on.

650

Speaker 7: job to the best of my ability, still trying to show, uh,

653
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,560

Speaker 7: you know, to come play football here, and you know

655
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 7: the way my what's it called career is going however

656
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 7: it's supposed to go, like I'm here to just make

657
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 7: sure I stamp you know the reason why I'm here,

658
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 7: and so I can be here for a long time.

659
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: So you know you're gonna go out there looking clean, right,

660

Speaker 2: and these new uniforms are pretty the drift is there.

661
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: You're still wearing a Ghana flag. And run there.

662
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 5: Of course, hopefully the NFL doesn't find me.

663
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know if we can talk about

664
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,800

666
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 7: I haven't got fined yet, but you know, our equipment

667
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 7: manager has been kind of telling us that the NFL

668
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 7: isn't playing this year, So hopefully they don't say nothing

669
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 7: because it's covered.

670
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 5: But we'll see.

671
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:40,719

Speaker 5: I appreciate it, Thank you guys for having me. It's

676
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 5: gonna be fun.

677
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: Ba's involvement with this show is going to be a

678
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: lot of fun. And I'm excited to see what these

679
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks look like for him, starting with

680
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, because this is a guy that

681
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: has worked for this opportunity for so long and it's

682
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: finally here. You never want to see your veteran leave

683
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: and Eric Kendricks, but I'm glad Eric Kendricks is in

684
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: a better spot. He's probably gonna, you know, be I

685
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: guess he's got this game circle playing for the lachr

686
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: he but for BA, it'll be good for him to

687
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: actually go out there and get some game reps and

688
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: build that confidence for this Minnesota Vikings defense for sure.

689
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: I mean, if you really can't describe or construct a

690
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: better player as.

691
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: A human being for your team than bea.

692
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: He's just a very good person. He cares, he works hard,

693
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: super talented, and I think that his playing style is

694
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: going to mesh really well with Brian Flores and the

695
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: identity of his defense. And so yes, I'm very, very

696
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: excited to see that he's a natural born leader and

697
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: that's what you need in that position if you're going

698
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: to lose someone like Eric kendricks Well.

699
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: The tom is now. We are less than seventy t
