00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Welcome to the Vikings Postgame Report

2
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: courtesy of Lumen Luhman. We thank you very much for

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: your weekly sponsorship of the postgame Report. And well, the

4
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens came into US Bank Stadium and the ninth

5
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: game of the season and beat the Minnesota Vikings twenty

6
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: seven to nineteen. The Ravens improved to a four and five,

7
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: the Vikings fall to four and five. They have the

8
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Bears here at the US Bank Stadium next week. That

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: then this, Now you know it's football can be a

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: complicated game, Pee versus ch analyst for the Vikings Radio network.

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: It can be a complicated game, but it's not really

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: complicated when you lose the penalties battle by a million

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: and you give the bal to the other team markedly

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: more than you take it, and that played unto the

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: eight point loss.

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean thirteen penalties for one hundred and two yards.

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: And again, these are a lot of these penalties are

18
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: just pre snap right, These are concentration things. These are

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: just you're at home, there's no crowd. You know, there

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: should be any crowd noise, you don't really have. It's

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: a lack of concentration and then the two interceptions and

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: the fumble. So the Ravens were able to get thirteen

23
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: points off of those turnovers. And there you go, there's

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: your difference in the game. I mean it's not Yeah,

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: you're right, we try to make things complicated and we

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: want to take things to the nth degree and drill

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: in deeply. But on a game like today, after coming

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: off of a win in Detroit like they did, yeah,

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: it's disappointing today at the mistakes that were made. And

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know offensively. Offensively, we're still trying

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: to find our identity. We're still trying to figure out

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: who we want to be. And I know Kevin Conna

33
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: wants to be aggressive and get the football down the field,

34
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: but I mean some of these aggressive moves by McCarthy,

35
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: you know, I think I think he can there's some

36
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: more conservative ways of handling himself and handling and football

37
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: in that regard.

38
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Well, JJ McCarthy did throw his first touchdown at home

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: in a regular season game, and that went to Jalen Naylor,

40
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: who had the best game of his life. Jalen was

41
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: on fire today, was targeted six times, he caught five

42
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty four yards in a touchdown.

43
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: He had a sixty two yard grab in the in

44
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: the first quarter, and you know that with the first

45
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: couple of possessions with the Vikings peed is what we

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: talked about a pregame on FM one hundred point three KFAM.

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: I came into this game legitimately thinking the Vikings had

48
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: a massive speed angle with their offense against all these big,

49
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: burly defenders for the Baltimore Ravens. And then you watch,

50
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, you watch Naylor behind somebody. He's faster than

51
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: for sixty two and like, hey, here we go, got

52
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: a lot of speed. Let's just keep doing that.

53
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: But it just stopped. Oh they did.

54
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you have a woozier out there who's been

55
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: bouncing around the League's he's been all over the place,

56
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: and you've got him covering Justin Jefferson one on one.

57
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: The problem you have, Paul is is the game you

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: never put Baltimore that far behind the eight ball. You

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: had a two score lead for a little while, but

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: you let them, through turnovers and mistakes kind of get

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: their get their way back into it. And so you

62
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: never you never made them play catch up football.

63
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: Right.

64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: And because of that, uh, they were able to take

65
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: their time, they were able to run the football, they

66
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: were able to be the Ravens.

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: Right.

68
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: We let them be who they are.

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: Yep.

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: Short passes, option plays, the outside, you know, all these

71
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: little creative things that they do. We never we never

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: put their back against the wall. And it made them

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: go up, make them go up and down the field

74
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: in a short period of time. And you know that's

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: that's so much of this game today.

76
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: The thirteen penalties on hundred and two yards, like you

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: said earlier, I lost count of it. It's either seven

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: or eight one of the two. Yeah, eight false starts,

79
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: eight false starts on the vikings. I mean we've done

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: this a long time, man, I mean, I just don't

81
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: think that we've ever been involved in the game where

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: eighteen period has had like even Laramie Tunsel.

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: No right, yeah, yeah, he had three. He had three

84
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 2: on himself in one day. But and that at least

85
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: that was crowd noise related. Right, even for a preseason game,

86
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: that number is unacceptable. And again, when you when you

87
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: are spiraling and losing games, you got to really take

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: a look at to control what you can't control, and

89
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: pre snap penalties are one of the easiest things to control, right,

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: there's no reason for it. And some I think we're

91
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: on the quarterback. I you know, I know Brandell had

92
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: won at center. I don't know what he did with

93
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: the football to cause that. But uh, those when you're

94
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: struggling to move the chains and you need to get

95
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: some put together, some longer drives, those kinds of penalties

96
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: will you know, they'll they'll kill you. And today we

97
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: were just constantly you know, you get five yards and

98
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: you have to go back five yards and then it

99
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: was it was uh in that regard, you're battling yourself

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: and it's hard enough to beat the opponent, but when

101
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: you got to when you're beating yourself along the way,

102
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: it just it just doesn't make it easier.

103
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: Lastly, before we hear from Viking's head coach Kevin O'Connell. Uh,

104
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Redman continues to be praiseworthy. I mean he he

105
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: just like continues to stack his newest best game. All right,

106
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: so he didn't have any sacks today, but he the

107
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: former Gopher Daniel Filele, the right guard, I mean, he

108
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: was demolishing him. Tyler Linderbaum, the Iowa centers, one of

109
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: the best in the NFL. Railing Redmand threw him to

110
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: the side a couple of times. I just couldn't be

111
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: happier watching how Jalen Redmand plays.

112
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought Jalen Redman did a great job. Another

113
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: young player, Dallas Turner, showed up a few times today.

114
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: So that's that's fantastic. We need him going forward. Is

115
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: we don't know what's going on with John de Grenard

116
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: and what I what I see it to be as

117
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: a shoulder him diving for the feet of Lamar Jackson,

118
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: and when you do that sometimes if you come down

119
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: on your shoulder just the right way, it can cause problems.

120
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, it's it's hard to put this one

121
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: on the defense, and you know they you know they're

122
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: gonna have their work cutout for him. And gave up

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty some yards rushing.

124
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 2: Now that you're trying to take a look at the numbers,

125
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: hundred and well, they were doing a good job against

126
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: the run until late right and then but only one

127
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy six passing. They kept themar to eighty

128
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: seven point seven rating. He rolled in here with a

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: one thirty six point seven and his yards per attempt

130
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: was six, which is pretty good. Yeah, and he's coming.

131
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: He came in here second in the NFL at nine

132
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: point one, so you took him out of their game plan.

133
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: Yep.

134
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: But because you you know, you just never you had

135
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: to lead for a short period of time. But you

136
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: couldn't keep that kind of pressure on them. They were

137
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: able to just take their time and run the football.

138
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: And you know, unfortunately, I hate looking into a game

139
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: like this anymore deeply than having Baltimore come in at

140
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: minus three and walk out of here. Even right, They've

141
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: had six turnovers in the last two weeks to beat

142
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: my you know, three to beat Miami and three to

143
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: beat us today. I how much further beyond that do

144
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: you have to go? I you know, that's that's I

145
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: don't know, because that's the game right there.

146
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: Let's hear from undoubtedly a frustrated head coach of the

147
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, Kevin O'Connell.

148
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: You know, to have the football with a chance to

149
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 4: tie the game there at the end was an encouraging

150
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: thing considered considering how many things we did that we

151
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: can't do if we want to.

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: Beat a good football team like that.

153
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: You know, if the players fought, they tried to overcome

154
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: in many cases the things we we did to ourselves

155
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 4: defense kept us in it all day long by their

156
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: battle against a really, really good offense, but lose the

157
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 4: turnover battle three nothing. And in the penalty situation, which

158
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: we've got to get fixed immediately, specifically the eight pre snaps,

159
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: whatever was going on with the cadence or you know whatever,

160
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: it may be just not acceptable in any way, and

161
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: we've got to get it fixed and we will. But

162
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: the penalty situation, in the turnover situation being what it was,

163
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: you know, when you average over six yards of play

164
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: on offense, it's all for not if you're going to

165
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: be giving back so many of those yards in different capacities,

166
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: you know, we've got to we've got to find a

167
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: way to first and foremost.

168
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: Correct whatever the issue was.

169
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: Normally we can do that in game if there's an issue,

170
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: but there just seemed to be a flinch here and there, way,

171
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 4: way a way too much. So if there was any

172
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 4: uncertainty of what we were doing, that's obviously something we've

173
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: got to get corrected. No matter who's in the game

174
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 4: and all those things something we've got to do. We

175
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 4: we are right back here in a week with a

176
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: division game, chance to go three to zero in the division.

177
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: But to me, we will uh, you know, consistently build

178
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 4: on the good.

179
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 3: Practice week we had.

180
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 4: This team is not a results based team that will

181
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: prepare any different, but you know, they're obviously very an

182
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: upset group in there to that that thought, we you know,

183
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: could have done a lot of things better in the

184
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 4: game to win the game, while also doing a lot

185
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: of things that were they gave us a chance to

186
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: win a game when when the circumstances were in many

187
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 4: cases caused by us against a good football team like that.

188
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: Jonathan Garnard did have a left shoulder injury. He'll get

189
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: assessed later, you know, today and into tomorrow, but be

190
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 4: able to give you guys an update on that and

191
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 4: outside of that, That's all I have for for you

192
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: guys right now from an injury standpoint.

193
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 5: Did you uncover any themes to drop the game? Why

194
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: the frequency of those penalties were happening.

195
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: Well, I think, uh, you know, a couple of them.

196
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: A couple of them came when we were you know,

197
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 4: motioning from one side to another. Maybe there was some

198
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: a little bit more of a hard count emphasis by

199
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 4: JJ at certain times. I don't I don't you know,

200
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: we have we have, you know, we have multiple cadences,

201
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: and guys have really had not a very large issue

202
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 4: with the cadence this year. But for whatever reason back

203
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: you know, JJ, obviously his first start on the road

204
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 4: from post injury was last week, so we didn't have

205
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: him a lot of cadence in Detroit. So whatever was

206
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 4: on earth today needs to get fixed immediately.

207
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: To what you could see.

208
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: Did you have any indication that the Ravens were simulating snow?

209
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: I have not had a chance.

210
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: I did ask our guys, you know, unless there was

211
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: some calls on some of the motions maybe that that

212
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: that were happening, But I did not get any indication

213
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 4: from our guys they were doing that.

214
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 6: Did you guys make any game adjustments of Kaden says

215
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 6: that you can find one that wasn't looking go to it.

216
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: Probably. Yeah.

217
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 4: We we tried to simplify it down as much as possible,

218
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 4: and and you want to make sure you at least

219
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 4: give yourself a couple of variations so they're not teeing

220
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: off on you, you know, on every snap and they've

221
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 4: got some exotic looks on third down. They've got some

222
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: things where maybe it's a requirement, but some of those

223
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: things after a positive run, we were hoping to maybe

224
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 4: stack some runs on a drive and then you you

225
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: go right back to a you know, kind of a

226
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 4: get back on track situation via your own doing. Those

227
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 4: are the ones that are very unfortunate, especially then when

228
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 4: you end up with more third and longs.

229
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: Than you ever should. When you're averaging six yards of

230
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: play and the quick three and.

231
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 7: Out at the end of the first half and it's

232
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 7: going forward on throwing throwing deep one inches.

233
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: It was it was a yard and it was four

234
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: down territory, So we knew that was going to be

235
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 4: zero coverage one on one with with Justin and then

236
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: a chance to you know, if we didn't get the

237
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 4: look for the play we we we were gonna you know,

238
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: get a run off and I was planning on going

239
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: for it regardless on fourth down.

240
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 7: So like that, I mean, obviously it's good to be

241
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 7: aggressive if it's the way the league is going. What's

242
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 7: JJ's parameters, like, you know, I guess, you know, play

243
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 7: calling at the end of the first half and then

244
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 7: the deep ball.

245
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: There, what kind of guidelines, Yeah, we you know we

246
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: were there's there's definitely some parameters there. Mark from a

247
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: standpoint at the end of the the one thing about

248
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 4: the end of the half, the throwaway, you know where

249
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: we really had nobody over there. You know, it was

250
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: just that's a situation where you know you're almost in

251
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: a If it's not there, we'll go ahead and keep

252
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: that clock running at least make them use the time

253
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 4: out the third one.

254
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: I mean that ball's already left his hand.

255
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: Uh when when Justin and Humphrey's feet get tangled up.

256
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 4: Things like that happen in football. And I'll take Justin

257
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: Jefferson one on one down the field in zero coverage,

258
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: you know, as much as we can possibly do it,

259
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: especially when you're gonna have the ability to then take

260
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 4: that shot, and then with the field position we were at, go,

261
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 4: you know, go get that yard.

262
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: On on fourth down.

263
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 7: I mean, just you should probably just take off running.

264
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: Or Yeah, it's it's just one of those things where

265
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: you're trying to get that first first down and and

266
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 4: see if you can potentially get some points that had

267
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: been since our first drive. And then we had a

268
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: field goal in there, but you're you're trying to see

269
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 4: if you can manufacture in some cases a double up chance,

270
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: and we just didn't do that, you know, between between

271
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 4: that sequence and then how we started the second half

272
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 4: and then and had the turnover, that was a that

273
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 4: was a critical you know, part of the game. I

274
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 4: thought from a from a standpoint of an opportunity lost,

275
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: where we're going to be aggressive. We're going to try

276
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: to get JJ some chances both, you know, justin Jefferson

277
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 4: and JJ, because you know, part of the growth and

278
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: development is, you know, we've got to let him play

279
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 4: a little bit as well, and we're trying to figure

280
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: out that balance that that gives you a chance to

281
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: at least have a chance to win the football game.

282
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 4: In the end, I thought he competed, but you know,

283
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 4: there's there's app every snap right now, there's major growth

284
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 4: and learning and teaching going on. You know, for a

285
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 4: guy that was really making his fourth start.

286
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: What did you make of his accuracy just throughout the game?

287
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: I thought he was pretty dialed in early on pretty

288
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: pretty good throw uh to Jalen Naylor for the big

289
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 4: play on third down.

290
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: I thought there was a lot of tipped balls.

291
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 4: You know, for a variety of reasons, those are always

292
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 4: hard for me to tell in real time.

293
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: I think we had four or five, uh you know.

294
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: Block shots by their D line that that you know

295
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: there was there were some opportunities and and then you're

296
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: you know, those are incompletes regardless of how you look

297
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: at it. And then just as we were getting into

298
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: the no huddle trying to make our way back from

299
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: two scores, it's you know, we may have made the

300
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: play on third or fourth down, fourth down like to convert,

301
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 4: but you know some of those early down plays where

302
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 4: you know he can he can be a little bit

303
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 4: more pitch and catch even you know on some of

304
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: those opportunities. So between a couple of those and the

305
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: tip balls, you're you're looking at six or seven in

306
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: completions form that all of those are touches for our

307
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: guys and the ability to register the ball going forward

308
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 4: with you know, to try to keep the momentum on

309
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: your side.

310
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 6: What's the process like now trying to get cadence issues

311
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 6: and false start issues corrected. How do you go about

312
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 6: that this week?

313
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think we got to have a we got

314
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 4: to have a conversation as a group what what transpired.

315
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 4: You know, we're it doesn't feel like all eight of

316
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: those were the same scenario, the same sequence you're going

317
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 4: to have, you know, we try to eliminate them all. Well,

318
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: that's been a huge point of what we think it's

319
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: going to take to win the game every week, whenether

320
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: it's Monday or Wednesday or Friday, talking to the team

321
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: about eliminating those self inflicted and we didn't do that

322
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: in any way, shape or form. So we've got to

323
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 4: you know, we've got to fix it. We've got to

324
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 4: understand what was different today than what had been something

325
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: we felt like we eliminated from maybe early on in

326
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: the season.

327
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 6: You point to anything in terms of why maybe JJ

328
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 6: and Jefferson weren't able to get on the same page, and.

329
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: Kind of my like, yeah, I think there was some.

330
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: There was some obviously trying.

331
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: You know, Justin had a good amount of targets today,

332
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: but one of not many completions, And I think it

333
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: goes you know, when you consider, you know, he gets

334
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 4: his legs caught on one of his one on one chances.

335
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 4: I thought JJ gave him a chance on second and

336
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: long kind of in the high red fringe. Aerry right there,

337
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: and you know, we weren't able to connect on that one.

338
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 4: There were some plays where, you know, I think whether

339
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 4: it's a combination of coverage, you know, Justin you know,

340
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 4: working to uniquely find openings and some zones on some things.

341
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 4: And then there was a couple of times where I

342
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: thought we had him and didn't hit him, you know,

343
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 4: pressure moved off the spot. There's a lot of things

344
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 4: that go into it, but yeah, we want to always

345
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 4: keep his target share up there just because he's you know,

346
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: obviously our best player. But at the same time, a

347
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 4: guy like Jalen Naylor having the day he did is

348
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 4: because of a lot of the things that Justin iterates

349
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 4: coverage wise and things going his way. But I thought

350
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 4: a lot of the times where we were working, Justin

351
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 4: was the right decision and and uh, you know, either

352
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: a block shot or an incompletion could probably keep us

353
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: from three or four other chances on the day.

354
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 5: What did you make of the run game just in general,

355
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 5: you guys run game.

356
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it felt like early on it was you know,

357
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 4: first probably you know, a quarter and a half, it

358
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 4: was you know, they were they were doing a good

359
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 4: job up front, being physical and stout and then we

360
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 4: kind of made some adjustments there to to to attack

361
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 4: some certain things.

362
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: And then just as we.

363
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 4: You know, specifically the first the first sequence of the

364
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 4: second half to two good runs in a row, and

365
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 4: then we took the shot there versus.

366
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: Zero on third and one, knowing that, you know.

367
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 4: We felt pretty good about getting it on fourth and

368
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 4: one if that ball hits the earth.

369
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: Kind of how much did these effect to run?

370
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just those times where it's you know,

371
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 4: even second and second and seven or six. Uh, you know,

372
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: you feel like, uh, you know, there was a few

373
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 4: times early on in the game we're getting us to

374
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: those third and manageable situations where we're good formulas for

375
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: us to sustain. On that first drive, we didn't necessarily

376
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 4: have anything explosive, but we just kept moving the ball

377
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 4: forward and then hit a couple of plays on third

378
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 4: down to to to kind of move the field and

379
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 4: then eventually score. But yeah, it's just hard for your

380
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 4: entire offense to get in a rhythm. It had nothing

381
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: to do with you know, when you average six yards

382
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: of play, it's it's functioning without you know, shooting yourself

383
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: in the foot to be able to get those clean

384
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 4: snaps off to continue your average six yards of play is.

385
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: Kind of how I look at it, and you would love.

386
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 4: To be in a game where none of those penalties happen.

387
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: You probably get another three four conversions and in addition

388
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 4: to some more runs off and and then you can

389
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 4: maybe start wearing the opponent down a little bit. But

390
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 4: you get into the kind of you let you let

391
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 4: the Baltimore Ravens play multiple third downs in a row,

392
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 4: either a second and long into a third and long.

393
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 4: It's just not the formula, especially with a young quarterback,

394
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: to try to play against that team.

395
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 6: When you guys lose Jonathan Bernard, how did that impact

396
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 6: some of the things they were trying to do in

397
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 6: the run game against your defense.

398
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think it's it's one of those things.

399
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 4: The guys that stepped in there, you know, did did

400
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: a very you know, a very good job for the

401
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 4: most part. It's just they they had us, you know,

402
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 4: a couple a couple of plays there where it looked

403
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 4: like we got our edge taken away from us. Flow

404
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 4: made some adjustments and then that's what helped us, I

405
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: think on that final final stop that they made to

406
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 4: force them to throw it on third down and then

407
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: we at least got an opportunity coming back at him there,

408
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: just didn't get it.

409
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: Done before we heard from the coach. You mentioned Lamar Jackson.

410
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Now you know, we we saw Lamar in twenty twenty

411
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: one at M ANDT Bank Stadium, all right. So he's

412
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: like third fourth year in the league. He is so

413
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: much better now than he was in twenty twenty one

414
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to the touch passes and the nuts

415
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: and bolts of being a hot quarterback. Less dynamic, but

416
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: just more of a meat and potatoes kind of guy

417
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: who just takes discretion as the better part of valor

418
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: and recognizes, hey, you got me right there for minus two,

419
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: watch me on the next one.

420
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and that's kind of the thing where you know,

421
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 2: as you get a as you grow as a player,

422
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: after about twenty seven, the body starts to slow down.

423
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 5: Right.

424
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 2: You hit your physical peak at twenty seven ish somewhere

425
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: around there. And Lamar back in the day, he depended

426
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: on his physical abilities to get himself out of trouble.

427
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: But now he's using his brains, using he's using the

428
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: offensive system. He's so comfortable in what they're trying to

429
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: do and what he's seeing from defenses. He mentioned how

430
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: when they played Brian Flores, I think he was back

431
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one and all the different blitzes they

432
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: threw at him. Eat vowed that he was going to

433
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: start learning what defenses are trying to do, and it

434
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: shows so he doesn't have to be heroic anymore. He

435
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: can just operate within the system, you know, and he's

436
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: executing it brilliantly. So yeah, lamar Is, I think overall

437
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: just a much more difficult quarterback to deal with now

438
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 2: are at more now so than ever.

439
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy made his fourth start today, second

440
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: at home. He threw for a career best two hundred

441
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: and forty eight yards. The first touchdown he's thrown a

442
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: US Bank Stadium went the way of Jail and Naylor.

443
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: And here's what the twenty two year old quarterback had

444
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: to say after the game.

445
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 5: Good to see you all as always.

446
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 8: Obviously very disappointing to come out US Bank Stadium and

447
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 8: leave with the loss, but you know, I felt like

448
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 8: there was a lot of good things that we did,

449
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 8: you know, three hundred and sixty yards total offense, six

450
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: point six yards a player or something like that.

451
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 3: It was there.

452
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 5: We just kept shooting ourselves in the foot.

453
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 8: And you know, I take full responsibility for the pre

454
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 8: snap you know, procedural penalties. You know, we got three

455
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 8: turnovers and just you know, too many things that you know,

456
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 8: don't set us up for success, you know, when the

457
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 8: clock hits zero. So we just got to go back

458
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 8: to work, watch this film, and you know, really clean

459
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 8: up all the little things because that's what hurt us today.

460
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: J D.

461
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 9: He said, you take the responsibility for pre snap. It's

462
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 9: like why or how?

463
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 6: How?

464
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 9: What was what did you see that was leading to

465
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 9: all over the pre snap mountains.

466
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 8: As a quarterback, you're the orchestrator of the orchestra. You know,

467
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 8: I take full responsibility for anything that happens on that field.

468
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 8: And uh, you know, at the end of the day,

469
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 8: it's just the little things that we got to keep

470
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 8: focusing on. The you know, the focus, the competitive stamina,

471
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 8: it's all got to be there. But I take full

472
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 8: responsibility every single time something goes wrong.

473
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 5: Did you feel like it was a cadence thing?

474
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 3: I guess was there a theme you feel it?

475
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 5: To be honest with you, I have no idea. Alex Alex.

476
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 8: I just feel like, you know, there's little things that

477
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 8: show up that you don't prepare for, and we just

478
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 8: got to do a better job responding when.

479
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 5: Things go that way. So yeah, but it's all me.

480
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 4: J J.

481
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 2: Just in terms of the connection with Jayalen Naylor, why

482
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: do you think that work today?

483
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 5: I said it since week one.

484
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 8: You know Speedy was going to show up one of

485
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 8: these days, and you know showed up last week on

486
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 8: the big third and five and you know, had a

487
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 8: heck of a game today.

488
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 5: But you know, he's somebody that.

489
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 8: Always just you know, sticks to his process, does all

490
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 8: the little things right, does the dirty work, and you know,

491
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 8: doesn't complain at all. And he's a tremendous football player.

492
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 8: I absolutely love the human being that he is. And

493
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 8: uh yeah, there's gonna be a lot more games like

494
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 8: that for Speedy Naylor.

495
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 7: Any common threads for why you had that many boss

496
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 7: that tipped his line of Sperimacher.

497
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 5: Bad of DABT And I think they did a great

498
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 5: job defensively.

499
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 8: You know, I feel like they used you know, the

500
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 8: big guys up front to you know, give a little

501
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 8: push and then just you know, get eyes up ready

502
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 8: to swap the ball down, and you know, I got

503
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 8: to do a better job of making sure that I'm

504
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 8: aware of that, and you know, when I step up

505
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 8: in the pocket, don't get too close to those guys,

506
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 8: and you know, work on all the different arm angles.

507
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, you know, they

508
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 8: just were a great defense, and you know, it was

509
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 8: a great test for us as an offense to be

510
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 8: able to see what it looks like against a great

511
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 8: AFC team, and you know, we just got to you know,

512
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 8: allow those not allow those little things like that and

513
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 8: prestat penalties to have an effect on our offense.

514
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 6: JUJ Kevin talked a little bit about might have been

515
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 6: using a little more hardcount today. Obviously you could do

516
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 6: that at home when you're having issues with false starts

517
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 6: and that kind of thing. Do you change how much

518
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 6: you could go to the hard count knowing that that's

519
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 6: been an issue for the offensive liner in the game.

520
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 8: I feel like the defense thinks the same way when

521
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 8: it comes to that. So it's just the level of focus.

522
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 8: Like you know, it's as simple as remember the snap

523
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 8: count and execute it when the ball is snapped. And

524
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 8: you know, where we pride ourselves as you know, a

525
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 8: great offense and those little things, those foundational things.

526
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 5: We just got to always make sure we're consistent with those.

527
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 8: So, you know, regardless of what happens, we just got to,

528
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 8: you know, maintain that focus for sixty minutes.

529
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 7: Anything you could think you could do differently, you know,

530
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 7: going into the half, you guys had the ball, you

531
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 7: could have scored, and you could have.

532
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 3: Scored coming out of the half. One opposite for you guys.

533
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: For sure.

534
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 8: I thought it was a beautiful example for me to

535
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 8: learn from because you know last week when Barnes sacked

536
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 8: me in my red zone, that was the time to

537
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 8: throw the ball away, and this was the time to

538
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 8: take a sack, you know, with forty seconds left, keep

539
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 8: that clock running, make them use the timeout or something

540
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 8: like that. It's just all things about you know, growing

541
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 8: in this great game of football and all experiences that

542
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 8: I take that data and collect it and then use

543
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 8: it for the next time.

544
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 7: It's the second we're talking about the second and five

545
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 7: wherever it's third and five, I.

546
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 5: Think it was third down, yeah, and I threw it away.

547
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: And you're just trying to get it back in the

548
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. Just take the sack.

549
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 5: There, Yeah, just take the sack, keep the clock running. Yeah,

550
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 5: how do you learn that?

551
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 7: I mean, you probably know that, but whenever things are

552
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 7: going so you hay wire, it's just instinct. I guess,

553
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 7: at what point does a quarterback learn that that's what

554
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 7: you should have done and do it.

555
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 8: I feel like the greatest learning tool for anybody, regardless

556
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 8: of position, regardless of profession, is experience. And you know,

557
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 8: this is my fourth football game. This is the first

558
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 8: time I've been in a situation like that where you know,

559
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 8: it was take a sack or throw it away.

560
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 5: So I feel like, you.

561
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 8: Know, it's just the first opportunity where I could collect

562
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 8: that data and then use it for the next time.

563
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: Did as you look back on that game right now,

564
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 6: are there any or decisions that maybe stick out to

565
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 6: you that you want back?

566
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of them.

567
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 8: I just feel like, you know, there's so much on

568
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 8: the tape that it's gonna reveal, But you know, the

569
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 8: amount of tipballs that happened today at the line of

570
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 8: scrimmage those is just absolutely killer.

571
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 5: And it's a credit to them up front.

572
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 8: You know, they played a tremendous game, They had a

573
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 8: tremendous game plan, through the kitchen sink at us in

574
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 8: terms of coverage, pressures, new looks. But yeah, it's just

575
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 8: the little things like that. I think it's the worst

576
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 8: playing football tip ball at the line of scrimmage, but

577
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 8: you know that's what it is. And you know, I

578
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 8: definitely want those back.

579
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 7: Changing the deep ball third and one to I think

580
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 7: it's justin he's coming out of the half.

581
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 5: Where do you see in the zero coverage one on one?

582
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 8: And I have the greatest receiver in the world, so

583
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 8: I don't care who it is out there.

584
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give him a chance. And you know, I

585
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 5: didn't see him fall.

586
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 8: It's just one of those things where you know, he

587
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 8: catches it and it's great, he doesn't it's incomplete, or

588
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 8: it's interception and it's a punt. You know, there's different

589
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 8: things where you know that could lead to that outcome.

590
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 8: But ten times out of ten, I'm gonna give him

591
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 8: a shot.

592
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 3: What have you gotten.

593
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 9: Fast, Aaron Jones Like just the spark that he seems

594
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 9: to be giving you guys, and a luxury for us

595
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 9: young quarterback. You have a back leaking plays.

596
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 8: A tremendous leader first off before even steps on the field,

597
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 8: making plays. You know, he's just got that exuberant energy,

598
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 8: just so pure hearted and you know, you know exactly

599
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 8: what he's feeling you, and you know exactly what he's

600
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 8: asking out of you, and you know, just the spark

601
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 8: he gives to our offense in the run game as

602
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 8: well as Jordan Mason, it's just tremendous. And you know

603
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 8: the way he hits that whole straight downhill, you know,

604
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 8: as fast as he can at one hundred miles an hour.

605
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 8: It's it's awesome to see. And you know in the

606
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 8: past game he's tremendous as well. But you know, just

607
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 8: gotta just gotta keep growing. And he'll be the first

608
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 8: one to say, you know, we just got to keep groing.

609
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 8: So you know, I appreciate you guys, but we uh, yeah,

610
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 8: we can't have these anymore. We got to be better,

611
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 8: and I promise we're gonna work to do that.

612
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 6: DJ Aaron Jones said that there were a couple of

613
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 6: times where he heard the Ravens trying to call Snap.

614
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 6: Did have an affected you guys at all? Or is

615
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 6: that anything you've heard?

616
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 8: You know, that's something I don't really try to dip

617
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 8: my toe into, you know, at the end of the day,

618
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 8: it's moving when the ball snapped, and you know, we

619
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 8: just got to be more locked in, more focused on

620
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 8: those little things, and you know, now shoot ourselves on

621
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 8: the foot and we'll see where we.

622
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: Get, all right. Lamar Jackson is now twenty four and

623
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: four versus the NFC North one on one this year.

624
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, I mean, we both have an immense amount

625
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: of respect for anybody who can keep a job like

626
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: that for eighteen years.

627
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: Amazing.

628
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: Well, he's he's fifty three and eighteen during his career

629
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks in their first or second year. Two and

630
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: zero this year, he's taking down Caleb Williams. He just

631
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: took down JJ McCarthy from a McCarthy standpoint. Facing Caleb

632
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: Williams and the Bears next game, what are you looking

633
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 1: to be different?

634
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: Well, well, quit turning the ball over and quote with

635
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: the pre snat penalties. I mean that start right there.

636
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: It's pretty simple, right. The Bears have found a way

637
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: to win. They won, They found a way to win today.

638
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: They found last second heroics against the Cincinnati Bengals to

639
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: beat him when no one thought gave him a chance.

640
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: Remember it was a year ago when they were losing

641
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: games on the final play like in Washington, that was

642
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: kind of how the Bears were doing it. But they

643
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: believe now, they believe, they believe that as long as

644
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: they have an opportunity at the end of the game,

645
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: they're never out of it. And so that tide has

646
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: definitely turned for, you know, for the Chicago Bears, and

647
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: they are going to be a tough team to beat

648
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 2: because they're gonna want to put another loss in the vikings,

649
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: put us out of the equation and you know, for

650
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: lack of a better try to finish us off here,

651
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: you know, next Sunday. So I expect it to be

652
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: a dogfight. I mean, Caleb Williams playing better, Roma Dunza,

653
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: I mean it's become a pretty a pretty effective battery

654
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: between the two of them.

655
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: Interesting you mentioned those two names because today it's Soldier Field.

656
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: The Bears were losing twenty to ten with about four

657
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: minutes ago in the game. Caleb Williams hit Roma Doonza

658
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: for a touchdown that made it twenty to seventeen. Then

659
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: they get the ball back. Caleb Williams ran in a

660
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: touchdown from seventeen yards out with about a minute ago,

661
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: and the Bears put a dirty loss on Jackson Dark

662
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: and the New York Giants twenty four to twenty. The

663
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: Vikings look to sweep the Bears next week. They beat

664
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: them a week one and remain undefeated in the division

665
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: after beating the Bears and the Detroit Lions. That boom

666
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: will be at noon on FM one hundred point three
