1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: What's Daniel Jones like. He comes out of a quarterback mold.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: If you're building a quarterback get in. You can't just

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: expect to win every single gamously by running the football.

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Some games you're going to be able to do that,

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: and we've done that right, But at the end of

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: the day, to go to where we want to go,

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to be able to move

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: the ball by throwing the football. Welcome to the Minnesota

Speaker 1: writer for the New York Giants. We're also going to

20
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: check in with our friend Robbie from New York and

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: see what's on his mind. It's a big Minnesota New

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: York week with the Vikings and Giants coming up, and

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: then of course the Twins and the Yankees in a

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: playoff series together to kick things off in the Major

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: League Baseball Playoffs. Chrissy, it's a big New York week,

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: which means it's a big week for you because you're

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: from New York. Yeah, it's mixed emotions here, obviously, rooting

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: for our Vikings over everything. I actually grew up not

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: rooting for the Giants, so there's no issues there. You

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: love beating the Giants, it doesn't matter who doesn't. Yeah,

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: you're a Jets guy. But as I was arguing with

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: Adam Thielan yesterday, I got a root for my pin

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: stripe York Yankees. I'm sorry, guys, we're not going to

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: hold that against it's the only thing I'm I'm I'm

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: all for us putting a spanking on the New York

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: Giants this week. Well, hopefully that will happen, and that

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: that would be a nice cap to the weekend for

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: Minnesota sports fans, because it's Twins and Yankees twice before

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: it's Kings and Giants. The Twins and Yankees kick things

40
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: off on Friday from the concrete junglo New York City

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: Twins and Yankees Yankee Stadium. What do you think is

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: gonna happen? It's tough to, uh, to overlook this Twins team.

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: I mean, they have a lot of talent. They edge

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: the Yankees in the home run battle three h seven

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: home runs to three h six, which was funny to see.

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: But man Nelson Cruz, it's amazing what he's doing for

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: the Twins. Forty one home runs. He's like forty five

48
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: years old. It feels like he's been doing it forever.

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Him being an anchor in the middle of that Twins lineup.

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of him, and I'm afraid of some of

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: these bats in the lineup. Mcguilson No, I mean, he

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: was written off by a lot of Twins fans and

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: comes back and hits thirty three homers and like a

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: quarter of the games. I feel like this year, so

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be an easy Uh. It's it's not

56
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: your your dad's Twins as they would say, yeah, your

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: Dad's Twins Yankees thing, where it was just the foregone

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: conclusion that no it is not gonna be a good series.

59
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great series. I'm looking

60
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: for to it. Obviously, we have banter going around with

61
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: the staff here and everyone giving me, giving me some

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: some crap. Are you gonna go? I mean, I'm gonna

63
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: try to go In New York tickets are a little expensive,

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: but I already confirmed I'm going to Game three here

65
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Nice and yeah, I was giving Adam Fealand

66
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: some some stuff yesterday, and I think he's gonna try

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: to make it as well. He said, only if the

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,279
Speaker 1: Vikings win though, So okay, the Vikings win on Sunday,

69
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: you Minnesota fans can expect Adam Steeland to be at

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Target Field on Monday for Game three. Awesome. Alrighty, lots

71
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: to get to today. We'll get to Dan Solomon in

72
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: a moment, and Robbie, our friend from New York. We'll

73
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: check in with the fan Voice mailbox. We have a

74
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: top five list for you. But first we got to

75
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: finish digesting this Vikings loss to the Chicago Bears from

76
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: last Sunday at Soldier Field, in a game that featured

77
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: two pretty stout defensive performances. Chris I mean the Vikings

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: end up scoring just six points. The Bears didn't score

79
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: a bunch either. They lost Mitchell Trubisky on the first series.

80
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Chase Daniel comes in plays effectively, but the Bears only

81
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: score one touchdown, had to settle for three field goals,

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: only score sixteen points, but it was enough to beat

83
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: US sixteen to six in a game where we could

84
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: not get Dalvin Cook going. We missed on a couple

85
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: of big opportunities in the passing game in the first

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: half and just could not get anything rolling after that. Yeah,

87
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: it's tough to win a ball game when you literally

88
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: get two possessions on offense in the entire first half.

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that happen very often. One drive ends

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins just missing Adam Thielan on a deep

91
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: ball that could have been seven points. If he hits that,

92
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: it's a totally different game. The second drive in that

93
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: half ends with a perfect pass from Kirk on a

94
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: slant to Stefon Diggs, and Stefan just happens to get

95
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: knocked from the back and obviously we know what happened.

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: The ball is fumbled. Those two drives, if those two

97
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: plays change it's a totally different game. Yeah. And then

98
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: and then Kirk gets the ball first drive in the

99
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: second half and he has no chance. Khalil Mattress comes in,

100
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: and then you know, early in the game, on the

101
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: first possession, the Vikings force a fumble of Mitchell Trubisky

102
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: on the play on which he's hurt. They recover it,

103
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: but there's a defensive holding in the secondary. So just

104
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: a lot of weird things happened early on in that game,

105
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: and it continued to be weird for the balance of

106
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: the game, and we lose sixteen to six. It wasn't good.

107
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: We're two and two. A lot of talk in the

108
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: locker room afterwards, and coach Zimmer said frustration was mounting,

109
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: and Adam Theland was in the news a little bit,

110
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: and he sat down with Kirk Cousins for this week's

111
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: episode of Under Center. I understand that was a good conversation.

112
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: That's out already, so lots of things to digest to

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: move on from, and you got to do it quickly

114
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: because you're getting ready for a New York Giants team

115
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: that I'm sure any of your buddies back in New York, Chris,

116
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: who are Giants fans are pretty pumped up right now

117
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: about the Giants because they went from Eli to rookie

118
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones taking sixth overall in this year's draft and

119
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: he's two, and uh yeah, I just want to touch

120
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: real quick on one thing that Adam thealand said from

121
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: from that episode. Adam acknowledged the emotion that he plays with,

122
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: and he acknowledged that sometimes as a young player, he

123
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: would show that emotion on the sideline, but now he's

124
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: trying to control that emotion because of the fact that

125
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't do any good for the team. So Adam

126
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: is constantly thinking of any He says, he looks himself

127
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: in the mirror after every game and picks out every

128
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: single play and what he could do better. I mean,

129
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: what more could you ask from a guy who's just

130
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: trying to literally do anything he can to help the

131
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: team win, even when they're not, even when he's not

132
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: in the game plan. So I really recommend listening to

133
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: that conversation between Cousins and Feling. It's gonna give you

134
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: a little appreciation for them both because they're both trying

135
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: to do this and they're trying to find the right

136
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: balance on offense and I think it's going to happen

137
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: in this game against the Giants. Look, there are just

138
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: some weeks in the NFL where you have this game,

139
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: you play this game and either because of who it

140
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: is Slash when you played them, or because of something

141
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: that happened in the game maybe, or the way you

142
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: want to lost it. Sometimes it just feels like, man,

143
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: it feels like we just lost two games this week,

144
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, in one week, or oh that was a

145
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: huge one. It feels like we won twice this week.

146
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: And this was one of those weeks where it felt

147
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: like you lost two games, you know, just with how

148
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: emotional it was, with how weird it was, and the

149
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: fact that you already lost to Green Bay. Now you've

150
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: lost to Chicago, Green Bay and Detroit lost this week,

151
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: so it would have been a great week to win.

152
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: It felt just a little heavier of a loss, you know,

153
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: than normal. And that's what's good about this team. Any

154
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: loss that this team has, it's like the end of

155
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: the world, Like they're they're not just taking these losses lightly.

156
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: Like none of these guys are, and neither of the coaches,

157
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: clearly Coach Zimmer isn't. So I think remembering that team

158
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: that went thirteen and three a few years ago. Just

159
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: remember that team started out two and two and then

160
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: they rattled off a bunch of wins once they got

161
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: it right. And I think that this team has the

162
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: potential to do that. I still believe they have the

163
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: potential to do that. So we're gonna see if we

164
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: can start it off right in New York. Yeah, that's right.

165
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: That's that's gonna be an important part of this game.

166
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about this Vikings and Giants game, Chris.

167
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a guest coming up here in a minute.

168
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: But when you think about the New York Giants, you know,

169
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: I think about for me, it's Pat Schermer, who's their

170
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: head coach, Who's someone I was close to when he

171
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: was here. Obviously did a great job in his role

172
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: with the Vikings and parlayed that into another opportunity to

173
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: be a head coach. He was a head coach of

174
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns a number of years ago. Now he

175
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: got a second chance to be a head coach. I

176
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: think he's doing a good job in the situation. He's

177
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: in kind of tough right now because they don't have

178
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: sat Quon Barkley, and they have a rookie quarterback, so

179
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna go through some natural growing pains when you're

180
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: playing a rookie quarterback. But they've done it. They've taken

181
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: the early hits. They've moved on from the Eli Manning

182
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: era into the Daniel Jones era, which is always a

183
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: hard thing to do for a franchise. When you've got

184
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: a guy who's been your guy for a long time,

185
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: and this one won two Super Bowls, there's no easy

186
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: way to transition away from him to the new guy.

187
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: But the Giants have done it. Now they're off and

188
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: running and their guy is two and oh so the

189
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: New York Giant, what do you got? Yeah? I think

190
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is Daniel Jones can really move on

191
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: his feet, and a lot of people look at him

192
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: and see his stature and they don't think that he's

193
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: a fast guy. But you'll hear in our interview coming

194
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: up with the Giants team reporter, this guy can run.

195
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a Mitchell Trubisky like attack against

196
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: this quarterback because yeah, I mean, I think he like

197
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: you'll hear in the interview, he had a seventy yard

198
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown in college. Yeah. I mean he's a guy

199
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: who can move, so he not only has a strong

200
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: arm and can make a lot of the throws. But

201
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: you're definitely gonna want to watch what he does in

202
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: the pocket because you're not expecting it out of a

203
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: guy of his statue. All right, Well, our guest is ready,

223
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: we got a lot making it even more interesting. I

224
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: actually grew up in Minnesota and Apple Valley right by

225
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: you guys new training facilities, so all kinds of connections

226
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: over here. And we also played Taste Keenum last week,

227
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's right, all the connections we we got. You.

228
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: Your emotions are all over the place. Man, how do

229
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: you handle it all? Huh? I gotta keep it even Keel, Yeah, dude,

230
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: you your head coach who we know very well. He

231
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: called the Minneapolis miracle all the Minneapolis miracle thingy. What

232
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: was up with that? That jumped out to me. Yeah,

233
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: when they were asking about case Keeno, man, you're talking

234
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: reliving it, and he threw in the Minneapolis miracle thingy. Yeah,

235
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: so well it was an exciting thing, but yeah, definitely

236
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: a memorable one. I mean, now that's that's my man,

237
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: Pat Schremer trying to downplay something that was a little

238
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: bit more than a thing. Right, Yeah, he's pretty good.

239
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: At that though. Yeah, and have you guys decided that

240
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: min Minnesota Miracle or Minneapolis we go Mini Yeah, we

241
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: go Minneapolis Miracle. Now, it's, as you know, this is

242
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: a very provincial part of the country, so people take

243
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in, you know, their territory. So

244
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: it's can sometimes sort of bother people who don't claim

245
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: Minneapolis as their territory. They might be from Saint Paul,

246
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: they might be from Duluth, or maybe they're from Fargo,

247
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: and they want it, you know, they they want it

248
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: to be a more regional thing, but it's it's the

249
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Miracle. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um. So I know

250
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: you're you're probably not rooting for the Yankees. You're rooting

251
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: for the Twins. I think that that's probably pretty clear, right, Okay, Now,

252
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: I know maybe when you're not when the Giants aren't

253
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: playing the Vikings, you might root for the Vikings every

254
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: now and then, But you can't root for the Vikings

255
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: this week. I just don't think you can do it. Yeah,

256
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: no rooting interests, Yeah, okay, all right, So a lot

257
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: of things to talk to you about it. I'm gonna

258
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: start at the at the top with the quarterback. You

259
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: guys obviously make a switch from from Eli to rookie

260
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones taking sixth overall. So we all know that.

261
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: But tell us what we don't know about Daniel Jones.

262
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: Let's say someone's listening, they didn't watch those first two games,

263
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: or they didn't watch any of the Duke Blue Devils.

264
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: What's Daniel Jones like? He is the Eli Manning. He

265
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: is exactly everything you would want. He comes out of

266
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback Moldy. If you're building a quarterback, it's him. Um.

267
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: I guess what people wouldn't know. He's a tremendous applete.

268
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: He was a great basketball player in high school and

269
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: that athleticism shows. Um a college he had seventeen rushing

270
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns that do even including like a seventy yard or

271
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: I think last season. Um. So he brings that that

272
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: speed and his and he couples that with his mind.

273
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: He's a UM quick learner. He's also a fast thinkers

274
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: Well Shermer likes to call him and Sherman's postgame press

275
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: press conference um after his second win in a row,

276
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Um called him, Yeah, said he was even smarter than

277
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: he is. Yeah. Yeah, things there the things, Yeah, training

278
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Um, so we'll see if you

279
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: can make it a three in a row. Okay. Now,

280
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: our radio analysis Pete Bursach as you know Dan, and

281
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: he does a film breakdown every single week. So I

282
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: was just in the room with with the editor building

283
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: that thing. And there's there's a lot of good stuff

284
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: to watch for from Daniel Jones. But I'm gonna pick

285
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: on one thing that I saw. How about the hit

286
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: that he took at Tampa Bay when he was scrambling

287
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: around outside the pocket? You know which play I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

288
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: what was said about that? Did Shermer Daniel jonn't say

289
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: anything about that? Not that one particularly, I've got a

290
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: big hit in the preseason two, Yeah, and they kind

291
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: of joked about it. Daniel walked back to the huddle

292
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: and he's like, I think I'm gonna take bigger hits

293
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: than that in the season. I guess that was right

294
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay. Yeah, but that's another thing that they

295
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: loved about Dale Jones come out was his toughness to

296
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: get back up, much like Eli Manning never just got

297
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: back up after every hit he ever took it. Yeah, Yeah,

298
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: that guy's a big tough guy. He's got a good frame,

299
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: big strong arm, can make all the throws. So it's

300
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: been fun to watch him on tape for these last

301
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: two games that he played against Tampa Bay and the Redskins. Um, no,

302
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: say Quon Barkley. So what's that mean for you guys? Yeah,

303
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: that means Wayne Dolman time. He came in last week,

304
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: he made his believe it was his third or fourth

305
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: career start, but obviously the first since Um, since we

306
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: drafted Saquon Barkley. And yeah, life behind say Quon Barkley

307
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: can be a little challenging. But to his credit, he

308
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: was ready say Quon before the game as Gallman was

309
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: getting taped up, said you're going to go off in

310
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: this game. And then Golm was like, oh thanks, yeah,

311
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: and uh but now I have to show up and

312
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: he did. You know, got Um went over one hundred

313
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage two touchdowns, one receiving, one rushing, much

314
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: like Sequon always does. So will be another Shermer saying

315
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: he likes to say takes a village. Ye, particularly with

316
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: we have to do that. John's had to do that

317
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: with their wide receivers this year with all the situation there,

318
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: but also obviously with the running backs and not too

319
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: right and but but speaking of your receivers, you got

320
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd. He looks good. He was injured, you know,

321
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: earlier in the or I guess in the late part

322
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: of the preseason. But he looks good. Gold dealing with

323
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: a thumb injury. Okay, yeah, thumb injury. He's back and

324
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: looks good. And Golden Tate's back for this game, right, yeah, yeah,

325
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: that he just uh, he spoke for the first time

326
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: yesterday the locker maybe return he's on the examp list.

327
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: They have a week to kind of figure out what

328
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: to do with the roster spot. But yeah, you get

329
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: back a guy. You know, he's the NFL yard just

330
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: after catch leaders since he was drafted in two thousand

331
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: and ten. Wou he said in the locker room yesterday.

332
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: You know whatever, you know the Giants are doing right now,

333
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: it's working. So he doesn't really want to message that.

334
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: He just wants to add to it. Be a spark

335
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: and we'll see where it goes from that. Now, damn,

336
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: what about the what about the Giants defense? Obviously, you

337
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: know all those years you have pig names like Michael

338
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Strahan and Justin Tuck and guys you always remember wearing

339
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: the blue and red. Um, it's a different defense now

340
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: there's you don't have all those big names that you

341
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: had in the past. Yeah. Yeah, it's uh, it's definitely

342
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: a work in progress. But hey, their past six quarters

343
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: they have allowed six points and the first ten quarters

344
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: of the season they allowed I think ninety one or

345
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: something like that. So since that second half of the

346
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: Tampa game, they've kind of they've settled things down. They've

347
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: kind of figured out how to use sprill preppers. They're

348
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: kind of using three safeties. They got the turnovers last

349
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: week of four interceptions U two from Jarris Jackets heading

350
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: come back in So we'll see if they can keep

351
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: it rolling against Minnesota. Who's the leader of that defense,

352
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: obviously there's a lot of young players. Um. I know

353
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. We have him do a radio show here

354
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: um during the week, and he referenced going against JNRS

355
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: Jenkins and what and he sees UM a lot from

356
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: him in the past. Is he kind of the leader

357
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: of the team on defense? He is the two defensive

358
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: co captains officially, where alc Olvertree is a male linebacker

359
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: making all the calls, but he has been injured. He

360
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: came about the hamstring injury UM the week before in Tampa. UM.

361
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: So he missed last week and they're hoping to get

362
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: him back this game. And then Giants also signed Antoine

363
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: Pete this offseason. Who's Um. Yeah, I've been in the

364
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: league fourteen years or whatever. He's going on. So they're

365
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: kind of the veterans in the group, but it's a

366
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: it's a big mixture of the young guys UM and

367
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: some veterans to kind of bring them along. My last question,

368
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: I have a bunch I grew up in New York,

369
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: as you know, so it's funny how we gotta have

370
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: the mixed roles. I'm the bizarre Chris, Yeah, exactly. UM

371
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: do you approve of I have a bunch of friends

372
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: who freaking love Danny Dimes? Do you approve of that

373
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: nickname for your starting quarterback? I know he doesn't like Danny.

374
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't like Danny. I'm not sure about the Dimes part.

375
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: He's more of a DJ is what everybody called him. Okay,

376
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: but I think he's kind of accepted it. It's just

377
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: once once something gets out there, you know, it's harder

378
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: to stop, so I think he'll come accepted. I it's

379
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: definitely stuck with the New York Faithful, that's for sure.

380
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: And weh Yeah, yeah, Danny Dimes is everywhere. Everyone has

381
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: the T shirt. Yeah, some bad photoshop too, with like

382
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: an actual dime in his face on it. Yeah. Well

383
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: we hope that, we hope that he keeps his dimes

384
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: in his in his pocket. Yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah,

385
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: keep the change. Um. Yeah, Hey, how about Pat Schrmer.

386
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: He's a guy that we all know really well here

387
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: um back in Minnesota, and obviously he's started with us,

388
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: as you know, Dan as the tight ends coach, then

389
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: was the interim offensive coordinator, then the full time offensive coordinator.

390
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: Obviously did a great job with case Keenum. We started

391
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: two and two in twenty seventeen and lost a bunch

392
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: of starters. Case Keenum steps in and Shermer in that

393
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: offense found a way to get it done. The Vikings

394
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: go thirteen and three for the season with case keenom

395
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: starting a bunch of games. What have you thought of

396
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: Pat Schremer? Yeah, from day one. The thing Gettleman said

397
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: when he was interviewing him, he said midway through the

398
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: interview process, he kind of wrote on the top of him.

399
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: He went to the top of his Noependers wrote, this

400
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: guy's an adult, and it just means he's an absolute pro.

401
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: You know, there's no extra outside whatever. He's just a professional.

402
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of permeated through adding the building and that's

403
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: kind of set the tone for everybody from up on down.

404
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: His accountability for everyone, and then also from an ECO standpoint,

405
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: just trying to utilize the best talent of each player

406
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: as opposed to trying to make his scheme work for players,

407
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: to try to, you know, maximize the skills of the

408
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: players for this game. Cool, all right, man, Last one

409
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: for me the Minnesota Vikings. You've gotten prepared for this game.

410
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've watched some of our games back or

411
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: at least looked at some box scores and uh and

412
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: obviously you have an interest in the team. So what's

413
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: what's one or two things maybe that you're you're thinking

414
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: about with this Vikings Giants matchup as as it pertains

415
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: to the Vikings. Yeah, I was just going through the staff.

416
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: I think the big thing sort of Vikings have scored

417
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: thirty four points off takeaways, I think that's the most

418
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, that's right, and I think it

419
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: accounts for forty percent of the total points, which is

420
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot. So that's kind of make or break.

421
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: With the turnovers. The Giants have also turned it over

422
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: ten times this season, which is pretty high in the league.

423
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Johns had two interceptions yesterday and he lost two

424
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: fumbles um sorry on Sunday and two fumbles the week

425
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: before that. So I think turnover is obviously a huge part,

426
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: but especially with the vikings. And then the other thing

427
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: too that Giants have gotten off to some good starts.

428
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: They've stored every UM possession to start a game. Oh wow, okay, yeah,

429
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: they've have three touchdowns in a field goal. Um. Yes,

430
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: So I think yeah, I think you will know pretty

431
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: early on to see how kind of feel it out

432
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: that way. The problem is the Jags hit these second

433
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: quarters where they were outscored by thirty seven points going

434
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: into last week's game, but they were able to, you know,

435
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: kind of study the ship and carry on the performance

436
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: throughout the whole game. All right, good stuff, Dan, As always,

437
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: we appreciate your time. Looking forward to seeing you at

438
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday. All right, take it easy, no,

439
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: appreciate it man, Thank you, see you guys. Okay, let's um.

440
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Since the Giants have Daniel Jones, who's a rookie quarterback,

441
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: let's for our top five today, Chris, let's scan the

442
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: universe of young quarterbacks in the National Football League and

443
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks were going to define with the help of

444
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: producer Jane Elson, who's helped us put the pool of

445
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: entries together. First or second year quarterbacks in the NFL,

446
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: guys who are starting games right now. Top five quarterbacks

447
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: in that group of first or second year guys. Okay,

448
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: I love this topic from Jane Elson because this is

449
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: a year in the NFL where the transition from these

450
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who have been around forever, like Drew Brees and

451
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: Eli Manning and Philip Rivers and just guys who've been

452
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: there for so long. Injuries have happened, Big Ben, you

453
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: had an injury in Pittsburgh. So there's a lot of

454
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks who have been thrown into starting roles. So

455
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: I like my list. Now, I like my list too.

456
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: Now disclosure here, I have a couple of quarterbacks not

457
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: on my list who I like, but they didn't make

458
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: my list. Okay, so I actually think this is a

459
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: pretty good pool of players. Like an example, Mason Rudolph

460
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: is not on my list of the top five, but

461
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: I think he's got a shot. I think he's a

462
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: good player. I just watched him against the Bengals, and

463
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy who obviously had a lot

464
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: of throws in college coming from Oklahoma State, and they

465
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: throw the ball a ton and with Pittsburgh, they're not

466
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: going to ask him to do that necessarily, at least

467
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: not early on. But like I like Mason Rudolph, he's

468
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: not on my list. So just because they're not on

469
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: this list doesn't mean we don't like him. They just

470
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: didn't make the top five. So let's go. I'm gonna

471
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: start with number five for me is Kyler Murray. Now

472
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: that's that's my number five. That's year number five. Also

473
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: number five. A lot to like with Kyler Murray. He's

474
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: in an interesting situation in Arizona because it's a first

475
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: year head coach and it's a different brand of offense

476
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: than what is traditional for the NFL. But I think

477
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's got a lot of athleticism. There are some

478
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: things you can ding him on maybe size, maybe is

479
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: he assist him guy or not? All those things that

480
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: are probably unfair to throw at a quarterback's feet in

481
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: his first year, and that Kyler Murray would scoff at.

482
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: But he makes my top five, and he comes in

483
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: at number five. I agree. I have him at number

484
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: five as well. He has all the intangibles. He's a winner,

485
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: a winner from college, a Heisman winner as well. So

486
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean he could shut us both up and become

487
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: the best player on this list. I really do believe that.

488
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: But what I've seen so far, he's my number five.

489
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 1: I like him too. Okay, number four for me as

490
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: a quarterback we've faced. I have Daniel Jones is my

491
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: number four. Oh he's number four for you a quarterback

492
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: we are going to face. Yeah, okay, I don't have

493
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones at number four. I have Josh Allen coming

494
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: in at number four, the Buffalo Bills quarterback who came

495
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: into US Bank Stadium and beat us silly last year

496
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: and hasn't played that well in every single game since,

497
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: but has played well in a bunch of games and

498
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: gave the New England Patriots a run for their money

499
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: until he got I think he got knocked out of

500
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: that game, didn't he He did big, big Helmont helmet hit,

501
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: so he knocked out. Hopefully he's okay. But I like

502
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: what I see from Josh Allen. Big kid can move

503
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: and has a big arm. I like Josh Allen. Is

504
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: he in your top five? He is my number three? Okay,

505
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: you're number three? Great, Okay, But who's number four? Daniel

506
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: Jones is number four for me. We've already touched on

507
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, and so as team report order, Dan

508
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: salomonem I think he's a great player. I think he

509
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: has more to offer right now than Kyler Murray. That's

510
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: why he comes in at number four. Josh Allen is

511
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: my number three because what I've seen from him so

512
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: far this year. I just think he has a great arm,

513
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: he can move on his feet, and he's a big

514
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: bodied quarterback. And I think, I mean, he has Buffalo

515
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: at three and one right now. They're playing really well

516
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: because of him, yep. And I mean they ran into

517
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: a buzz sawe the New England Patriots. I mean, and

518
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: they almost won that game. Right if he doesn't get

519
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: knocked out, maybe they have a chance to win. So

520
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: all right, number three on my list. I'll just preface

521
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: it by saying, I'm buying into the hype. Who do

522
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: you think it is? I think your number three is

523
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. It is. He's not on my list. I

524
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: left him off of my list with all these big

525
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: name high draft pick quarterbacks. It hurt me. There's something

526
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: I like about the guy. It hurt me to leave

527
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: him off my list. There's some it factor he's got

528
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 1: that I like. I am not one to be prisoner

529
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: of the moment and buy into hype that everyone else

530
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: builds up or buys into. But I'm I'm in on

531
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: this one. Gardner Minshew, Jacksonville Jaguars taking, not taking the

532
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: league by storm. That's a little too strong. But I

533
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: kind of like what I see from Gardner Minshew. I

534
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: saw one play where he like deeked a defensive lineman

535
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: and found a way to like pretty much slip around

536
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: him and throw a touchdown pass in the corner left

537
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone, and I was like, damn,

538
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy's a player. He didn't make my list,

539
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: though I don't. I don't believe in the Uncle Rico hype. Okay,

540
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: now I think we got some fireworks coming up in

541
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: our top five. Yeah, because I can tell that either

542
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: your number one or number two guy I don't have

543
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: in my top five, and I think we're going to

544
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: agree on on the other guy. So so far, for me,

545
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: it's Kyler Murray. Both Chris and I have him at

546
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: number five. I've got Josh Allen at four. Chris has

547
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones at four. I have Gardner Minshew at three.

548
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: Chris has Josh Allen at number three, So here we go.

549
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: Number two for me is Daniel Jones. It's Danny Dimes

550
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: coming in at number two. You got to start a

551
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: franchise right now, and you get Danny Dimes, I think

552
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: you're in really good shape. We've talked about him enough

553
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Hopefully he looks able on Sunday. But

554
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: for now, I have Daniel Jones number two on my list.

555
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: Number two on Chris's list is Lamar Jackson. He's my

556
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: number two. He's played spectacular this year. He's shown that

557
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: he can throw the deep ball, which I think was

558
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: a big step for him, and obviously we all know

559
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: what he can do on his feet. He's my number

560
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 1: two because my number one. I have just loved this

561
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: guy coming out, since he came out. I loved him

562
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: in college. I'm a big believer in my number one.

563
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: I won't say who he is yet. Aren't you interested

564
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: in this because you know who my number one is? Right?

565
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: Your number one's Lamar? Yeah, it's Lamar Jackson. Love that guy.

566
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: I love everything about him. Did you see I think

567
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: it was after his Week two or week three? They

568
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: won the game and Lamar had, you know, a great

569
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: game and heart. Jim John Harbaugh gave him the game

570
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: ball and like he made the signal of like not

571
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: bad for a running back, right, Yeah? Like just love

572
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: that love his attitude, self deprecating, understated guy. Lamar Jackson

573
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: is number one for me on this list. But your guy,

574
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: who do you think it is? I know who it is? Yeah,

575
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: tell me it's Baker. It's Baker. It's not on my list.

576
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm aren't you mad at me? I'm I can't believe you,

577
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm I know we started out the

578
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: season two and two. I get where you're coming from.

579
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: I understand he hasn't had some of the best games

580
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: this year. But Baker Mayfield I think has the potential

581
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: to be an MVP someday. I think that he can

582
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: really be the guy who finally brings a championship to

583
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland at some point, hopefully never against the Minnesota Vikings,

584
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Um, But Baker Mayfield for me, for

585
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: some reason, I'm drawn to this guy. I think that

586
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: he is a star. Yeah, all right, in the making,

587
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: you clearly don't think that. Well, I mean, I like

588
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: him like And that's why I prequalified every those whole

589
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: discussion by saying, I got a couple of guys on

590
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: my list who I like and wouldn't mind, but they're

591
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: just not on the list because I like others more.

592
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: And I used Mason Rudolph as one of the examples.

593
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: I didn't want to use Baker Mayfield as the example

594
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: because since, yeah, I knew that he was coming up

595
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: and would be a focal point in the discussion. So

596
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm fine with him. He's got a lot of ability

597
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: and talent. If you're starting a roster tomorrow, you're gonna

598
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: take Gardner Minshew over Baker Mayfield. Cording to my list, Yeah, wow,

599
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm just bold. Well, I mean, maybe maybe I just

600
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: made the list good for the podcast, Okay, I like

601
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: your boldness all right, Um, Okay, it's an emotional week.

602
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: Lots of things are on the line this week, Vikings, Giants, Yankees, Twins,

603
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: and you know it was a tough loss last week

604
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Right, So we're gonna we're gonna help to

605
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: help the therapeutic process of getting over all of this

606
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: and getting ready for all of this. We're gonna welcome

607
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: our friend from New York, Robbie Rosenhouse, back onto the show.

608
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: What's up, Robbie? What's going on? Guys coming to the

609
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: Big Apple this week? Oh? We are you ready for us?

610
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: Let's go? I am, I'm absolutely ready. We've had some

611
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: we've had some interestring trips here the last couple of

612
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: times we've we've come to About Life Stadium to play

613
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Intimus Josh Freeman game. Your favorite the

614
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: ball fifty times one hundred and ninety yards. I think

615
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: that's a yard for attend are twenty eight. That's approximately

616
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: what my broad jumps, I think ye. And then the

617
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: other two, the other two I remember. We returned to

618
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: punk kick in an interception for a touchdown, the only

619
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: time still in NFL history that's been done in a game.

620
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: We won twenty four twenty one as I think Paul

621
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: Jury hit a fifty seven yard field goal. We put

622
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifty yard develop fense with Brad Johnson,

623
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: he hit Jermaine Wiggins. My memory is photographic with these

624
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: games because I attend everyone that's in New York. And

625
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: then the other one, Eli threw four pick sixes, which

626
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: was great, Greenway, Dwight Smith, Darren Sharper. That was great,

627
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: and we stepped forty one fourteen. But then the Giants

628
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: went on to go win the Super Bowl as they

629
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: burned Eli Manning jerseys in the parking lot, which is

630
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: still to this day and grained in my brain. And

631
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: then he goes on to win the Super Bowl, wins

632
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: another one, so we can only hold for one of

633
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: those in Minnesota. Yeah. Okay, so you just went through

634
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff right there, but you're missing the

635
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: big story, the big, big story. The big story is

636
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: it's Twins Yankees, then Vikings Giants. I mean, Minnesota is

637
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: coming to New York for size this weekend a big time.

638
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it is Minnie Apple versus the Big Apple.

639
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: It is Walleye against Bagels. That's against Bagels. The thing

640
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: I missed most when I'm here in Minnesota. Is the

641
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: bagels so and the seafood obviously, but yeah, I mean

642
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 1: the bagels here. Listen, water boiled egg sessame, plane, everything, onion,

643
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: garlic man, anything you want here. There's the stagel stores

644
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: all over the place. I mean, I live out on

645
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: Long Island, which is where our defensive tables from Art

646
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: Stephan is from. He's also from Long Island. I'm from

647
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: Long Island. He'll tell you, He'll tell you how good

648
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: the Bengals are out here, the best, the absolute best.

649
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm from Long Island. I grew up going to Bagel Boss.

650
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, exactly. You saw that video with the Bible

651
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: Bagel Boss guys. That's about four and a half miles

652
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: away from where I live. And that guy, oh my goodness.

653
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean Robbie sent me. Robbie is the one who

654
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: sent me the first Bagel Boss video. That's amazing. Yeah,

655
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, I have I have friends. I have friends

656
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: that send me literally like thirty to forty bagels and

657
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: I cut them in half and I freeze them in

658
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: my freezing Okay, all right, and I so I have

659
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: so I literally have bagels here in Minnesota because you

660
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: can't find them anywhere. But there's no way. Okay, I

661
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: get it. You guys love y'all love your bagels. That's great.

662
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: We're happy for you. But you you know that when

663
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: you freeze it, it's now not as good as a

664
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: fresh bagel from Minnesota. It's a frozen bagel, without a doubt, No,

665
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: without a doubt, it's definitely not as good. But when

666
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: I used to come back, as we've discussed on on

667
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: previous episodes, I went to University of Minnesota. I used

668
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: to smuggle half dozen to a dozen bagels with me

669
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: every time I would come back from break, just so

670
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: I would have them there for the next couple of

671
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: weeks to keep supplies off, because you know, to help

672
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: me with the withdrawal, you know what I mean. Yeah,

673
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm a smart man. That's why we're friends. Yeah, okay,

674
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: of course, can we Hey, Robbie, can we handle Daniel

675
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: Jones and Pat Schermer and win this game? I think so? Um.

676
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: You know, they've played some weak opponents. They were a

677
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: thirty four yard U missfield goal away from losing in Tampa.

678
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: They played a raddy Redskins team last week. TEENAM was atrocious.

679
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: As we saw then Hassins came in, and you saw

680
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: why Gruden didn't play him. He clearly wasn't ready. They

681
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: only put up three points in that game, so I

682
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: then they were. They were terrible. I know, we only

683
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: put up six against the Bears, But going from playing

684
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: the Bears defense to go in to play in the

685
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: Giants defense is like going from old Madden to rookie,

686
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: especially that the Giants have lost, especially since the Giants

687
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: just lost that promising rookie linebacker from your state up there,

688
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Connelly started Wisconsin and had a very productive first

689
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: month for the Giants and had a great training camp

690
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: for them. But as far as Daniel Jones goes, he's

691
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: shown some good things. He's done some things on the

692
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: run that's probably his best quality. He hasn't been completely accurate,

693
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: but he's hit the throw us when he's needed too.

694
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: They have a bunch of receivers other than Sterling, Shepherd,

695
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: that and none. Not a lot of people know about

696
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: Fowler and Latimer, a guy who's been around the league.

697
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: So they're doing a kind of piece by piece on offense.

698
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: Ingram has been a monster in his third year. He's

699
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: really taken that next step and he saw that touchdown

700
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: the sport in Tampa. He just sprinted away. We hope

701
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: that IRV Smith Junior can do that at some point

702
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: where he can start to rank away from defenses. But

703
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: as far as the Giant's offense goes, I don't see

704
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot that should worry us. Obviously seeing Quan Barklay's out,

705
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: so that helps a ton. I think if our defense, uh,

706
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, puts their nose to the grindstone this week

707
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: in practice, gets out to a good start, does not

708
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: allow a touchdown at the first drive a clone, as

709
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: we played from the head, we should be okay, okay,

710
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: what do you think about the first four games? It's

711
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: been a roller coaster ride. I mean, there's no other

712
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: way to put it, you know, ignoring I don't want to.

713
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: I don't want to sit here and start going through,

714
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: you know, bashing Kirk Cousins and bashing his numbers. I mean,

715
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: everybody knows, you know, what the guy has done under

716
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: the lights, and so be it. That's his resume for now.

717
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: Can a change, of course, But for for Viking fans

718
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: out there to not have any faith in them, I

719
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: get it because I've led with this team for you know,

720
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: over twenty five years now, and I understand out there

721
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: people out there are double triple that in terms of age,

722
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: But nobody has tracked this team every single day and

723
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: has bled for this team more than I have over

724
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: the last one Nobody wants to see them succeeded. So, uh,

725
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't be texting Unpa after every game

726
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: trying to break down you know, what happened good or

727
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: bad if I wasn't emotionally invested rights. It's called having

728
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: New York passion for your Minnesota team. That's what it

729
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: is right there. That is that is a hundred percent correct.

730
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: So I've seen some good clearly. Uh. You know, everybody

731
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: hyped up Dalvin Cook, and when he's healthy, he's obviously

732
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: a great running back. But everybody also hyped up Bradberry.

733
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: And in past protection, I'm not like what I'm seeing

734
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: guar interior, even against backups the other night, was subpar

735
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: in terms of past protection. Uh. You know, you could

736
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: do things against the Raiders and against the Falcons at home,

737
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: but when you're on the road against a really tough opponent,

738
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: I think you kind of have to match their intensity

739
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: and in their play, and they and they warm enough

740
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: to stuff on Sunday afternoon. But you know what, there's

741
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more chances this year. We go

742
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, not easy to Dallas, not easy to Detroit,

743
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: not easy to Seattle on a Monday night where cousins,

744
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it has won one game or hasn't

745
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: won a game on Monday night. Not easy. So schedules

746
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: going to provide a lot of opportunity for them to

747
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: change the narrative. And right now, through four weeks, like

748
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: I said, it's been a it's been a roller coaster ride.

749
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: But there's no team with more than three wins in

750
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: the NFC, and you know it's fair for the taking

751
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, you're right, that's good. That's a good calling.

752
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: Zim Zim said the same thing. You know, it's it's

753
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: a bummer to lose that game. But the good news

754
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: is no one's running away from things in the NFC. So, um,

755
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully the Vikings can get back on track. Robbie.

756
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: All right, for folks who are coming out to New

757
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: York for this this week and weekend, what give them

758
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: something to do? They're gonna go to the Yankees, Twins game.

759
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna go to the Vikings Giants game. What's something

760
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: else they should do when they're out in New York?

761
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: You give us some off the beaten path a little bit.

762
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: M you caught me off a little off guard with this.

763
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: I mean I could always pivot to food. I mean,

764
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: I can give you some food suggestions. That's you know,

765
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: that's that's easy to reel off the tongue. But in

766
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: terms of things to do this weekend in New York,

767
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's going to be a gorgeous, gorgeous weekend,

768
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be sixty five seventy degrees, So get out,

769
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: walk around. Um up near Times Square. They just closed

770
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: one of the streets to motor traffic, so it's just pedestrians.

771
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: So up there you can walk around. So what I'd

772
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: really recommend. I know it's kind of a toursty thing

773
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: to do, but if you're making your first trip to

774
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: New York, definitely going to Midtown, going to Times Square,

775
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: see what's happening around there. There's tons of shops and

776
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: restaurants and things to do there. If you want to

777
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: go down to Lower Side and go down to Soho,

778
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: you can see um there's different, you know, kind of

779
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: trendy shops and things like that if you want to

780
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: go shopping a little you know, bougie and and things

781
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: like that. So, um, you know, New York is a

782
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: very uh, it's a very diverse place, for sure. I'm

783
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: not sure about one specific thing I would tell you

784
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: to do, but I would just say just get out

785
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: and enjoy the city and make sure you get a

786
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: slice of pizza and of course get a bagel for practice.

787
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: All right, great, Um, how's work going, dude, Everything's going

790
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: in London, so I'm working overnights, so it gives me

791
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: a lot of time to stress out about the vikings

792
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: overnight when I'm sitting there in the Studia College and

805
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: to some of our other friends who like to leave

806
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: us voicemails, Chris, let's get to the fan voicemail box.

807
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Last week's topic. After watching the Bears and Vikings game,

808
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: we asked everyone to call in let us know how

809
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: they thought the NFC North standings would shake out at

810
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: the end of the season. You have a quarter of

811
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: the season as your sample size. Now you can project

812
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: out to see what will happen the rest of the season.

813
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think is going to happen.

814
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: And some fans did call in in fact and leave

815
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: us voicemail, so let's get to him number one. Hello,

816
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: my name is Andrew Dreesbeck. I'm from Richmond, Kentucky. I

817
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: think the Lions are playing really well, but at the

818
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: same time, I think they're offensive line is questionable. I

819
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: think Matthew Stafford is going to get his hands full

820
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: when he faces us, but also the Bears. I think

821
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: the Bears offense is in trouble, and I think that's

822
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: going to stay in trouble throughout the year. Plus we're

823
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: facing charge All of us are facing the Chargers in

824
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, which are harder teams. So overall, I think

825
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: in the standings wise, it's gonna be the Vikings at

826
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: number one. I'm predicting their record will be about twelve

827
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: and four eleven and five. I like the Packers to

828
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: be next at around a nine and seven ten and

829
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: six a ranking. I like the Bears to be in

830
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: about a nine and seven, eight and eight record, and

831
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: I see the Lions at about a seven and nine

832
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: record at the end of the year. And I think

833
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 1: the Packers will be the wild card to five seed

834
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: going in and the Vikings will be a two seed

835
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: at least going into the playoffs. Skull Vikings, my man, Andrew,

836
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: he's new to the voicemailbox. Yeah, good, have some new

837
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: blood in there. Good to have a new caller and

838
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: not just well, I hope Andrew's right. Yeah, there's only

839
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: one thing I don't like about what Andrews said. Packers yeah,

840
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. Get them out of here. Yeah, get

841
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: them out in the playoffs. All right. We want one

842
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: team from our division in the playoffs, so we want

843
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: it to be us, all right, boy smell number two? Hey,

844
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: well being Chris is the Vikings and Aaron from Green

845
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: Bay looking at how I think things are going to

846
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: stack up the rest of the season. Obviously a little

847
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: disappointed by the efforts, but not the effort by the

848
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: execution put out by by the Vikings in the fourth edition.

849
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: But if you presuppose that the Vikings are in the

850
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: toughest division in all the d NFL, which I think

851
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: is almost an arguable, then you have to also presuppose

852
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: that the Vikings have had one of the toughest starts

853
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,479
Speaker 1: to any schedules. So getting out two and two, even

854
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: with some lack lost of performances, they're acceptable. With that

855
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: in mind. I looked at the coaching staff. I think

856
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: we have the best coaching staff in the league, and

857
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 1: I think that the Vikings are going to continue to progress.

858
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: I look for them to be able to bounce back

859
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: and go a four and oh in the second quarter.

860
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: I think two and two in the third quarter of

861
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: the season. Probably pretty reasonable given the opponents, in the

862
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: fact that most games of the road and then come

863
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: down the tracks three and one make them eleven five

864
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: at least get not division champs, certainly a wildcare team.

865
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna get a cluster at the top.

866
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: I look for Vikings the first and the Lions are

867
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: probably eighteen. So brutally tough division this year, but a

868
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch Wendy there in Green Bay. Yeah,

869
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: it must be okay. I think Aaron makes a good

870
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: point that if the NFC North is the best division

871
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: in football, which we think it is, or if it's

872
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: not the best, it's probably the second best. And if

873
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: two of your games have been on the road within

874
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: that division, you had a tough start, a tough schedule

875
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: to start the season. That's a good point. Now hopefully

876
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: Aaron is also right that the schedule softens up a bit,

877
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: although that's not to insult the teams who are on

878
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: said schedule. But for the Vikings it's at the New

879
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: York Giants home to Philly, at the Lions home to

880
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: Washington on a short week, so does not appear to

881
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 1: be as tough of a run. In the second quarter

882
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: of the season, as the first quarter of the season was.

883
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: But we'll see how that shakes out so far. And

884
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: you and Aaron kind of sounding the same Minnesota, Green Bay, Chicago,

885
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: Detroit for their predicted NFC North standings. Obviously that it's

886
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: an optimistic look and it's the look we would want,

887
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: but it's also what they think. Voicemail number three, do

888
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: you know? Voicemail number three is let me guess. It's

889
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: my man Van. Let's see you now. I challenged him

890
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: last week. He did, He challenged him? Did he come through?

891
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: I haven't listened yet, So okay, Jay smiling, Let's see

892
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: how do you Viking's Nation. It's Viking Van from fort Worth,

893
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: Texas again, the Vikings mouth of the South. Now, my

894
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: cousin Polly from back out Easter is in town. It

895
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: has got something to say about our beloved Vikings. We

896
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: soon it's poorly doing. It's from Brooklyn. Bessins has just

897
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: so you know, just fluent from mccardia. My cousin Dan

898
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: told me the barbecue down here in Fort Worth. There's

899
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: also chain now, being that Corso is also from New York,

900
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he also parks his car in the car

901
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: park I'm not getting sugarcoat and thinks I'm not sure

902
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: what the antics of today's game was, but Zimma needs

903
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: to start blowing among its with schemes and stopped getting

904
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: out coach, But good teams, I'm about to pop off.

905
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: All d was giving out for a dance to best

906
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: like it was Christmas and day were standing. Claus Kirk

907
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: was moving around like a real Joey Beckett Donuts out there.

908
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: He stands there, just waiting for the warm embrace up

909
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: in exack. Enough already, he needs to start earning a

910
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: sh money. He goat, I'm so man hoomere for a

911
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: quarterback that can scramble. Case Keenan was lit at scrambling

912
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: when the old line was gorbage. Now the Viking said

913
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: to Jersey play those giants. I don't mean no disrespect,

914
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: but I see things shaking out in Annessey North is

915
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: we do no better than second place, no playoffs. But

916
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 1: this crew, this season, they'll be sitting on a stoop

917
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: eating a hero during the playoffs. But Griefully, I have

918
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: to say, I think green Bay will win the North

919
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: because that Rogers is a good earner. That being said

920
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: school Bikings Goss I'm here a little Australian hire. I

921
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: mean it was in New York. I mean you got

922
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: the word hero in there, which was really good. That's

923
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: something that a lot of people don't know. A hero

924
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: is a sub yeah, sandwiches type thing. When I say

925
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: that here, I get nailed. I heard a little Boston

926
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: with the with the pack the cat thing. So that

927
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: was a little bit Boston that that wasn't so New York.

928
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: But I'll give you the points for the word hero

929
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: and I'll give you the points for Joey bag and

930
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: donut side. Didn't think someone from Texas would have the

931
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: imagination to throw that in there. I liked Earner, he said,

932
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: he said, he said he was a good earner. Aaron

933
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: Rodgers too, like, yes, that was good. He's up for

934
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: the challenge. That we played it, so obviously we approved.

935
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: I didn't hear it. Our producer Jay Nelson approved, and

936
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to be shocked as I heard on air

937
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: what you were saying there. And I give you, I

938
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: give you, let's say, a seven point five out of ten.

939
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: That was pretty good. I liked the van good effort

940
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: man we got anymore? Is that it? That? Is it? All? Right?

941
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: We got a topic for next week. Okay, those are good.

942
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: As long as they're good, we're gonna ask you to

943
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: keep him coming. And those were good. The phone number

944
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: is nine five two nine eight four three eight nine

945
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: five two nine eight eight four three eight. Call us

946
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: and leave us a voicemail the topic for next week.

947
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: New York fans are known for being unapologetically vocal and

948
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: proud of it. Right they are, okay, so you're not

949
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: offended by that. I am not at all. So which

950
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: fan base rubs you the wrong way and makes beating

951
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: their squad that much sweeter because of their attitude? I

952
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: could think of a few. I can think of a

953
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: few two, and I got a feeling that who we

954
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: play next week is going to factor into this for

955
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: some people. But New York fans known for being unapologetically

956
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: vocal and proud of it, which gets us to the topic.

957
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: Which fan base rubs you the wrong way and causes

958
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: you to love beating their team even more? Call us

959
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 1: and let us know for next week's show. Nine five

960
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: two eight four three eight. All right, Chris, that's it.

961
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: I think we pretty much we're ready to go, and

962
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I think this is going to be a

963
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 1: big step for the Vikings to get their first road

964
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: win of the season against a team that has a

965
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: young quarterback, has a young, very young defense, and I

966
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: think the Vikings are going to come back and really

967
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: put a statement out at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. So

968
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,640
