1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: I was crossing the street when I met the love

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: of my life.

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 2: I chased after her.

4
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Nothing would stand in my way, not the dog walker

5
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: nor the hot dog vendor. Finally reaching her, I asked,

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: what do you call that amazing smell? Escape Flings game Flings.

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: My love had a name, but more importantly, it had

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: a cent.

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,480

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 5: Good evening and welcome to Vikings Rewind on Kfan and

Speaker 5: the Minnesota Vikings Radio Network.

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: I'm Nordo from nine to noon.

16
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 5: Vikings Rewind is always presented by Omni Viking Lakes and

17

18

Speaker 2: Just go to.

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 5: Omnihotels dot com slash Viking Lakes. It took nearly a month,

20
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 5: Vikings fans, a lot of frustration, a lot of irritation,

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 5: and a lot of losing, but.

22
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: We got one. The Vikings won a game.

23
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 5: One one thirteen was the final yesterday and Charlotte the

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: purple beating rookie first overall pick Bryce Young and the

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 5: Carolina Panthers twenty one to thirteen. The final score and

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 5: this is a massive one. The Bears found their way

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 5: to spite up twenty eight to seven on the Broncos.

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 5: At one point yesterday they figured out how to lose

29
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 5: that game. They're the worst in the NFC North, but

30
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 5: keeping pace with those Lions who you watch dominate the

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 5: Packers last Thursday, Packers themselves having some struggles. The NFC

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 5: North still very much in the grasp finding the first victory,

33
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 5: hopefully finding some rhythm and despite the fact that the

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 5: Panthers are certainly far from being among the contenders in

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 5: the NFL. Sometimes it may take a game like this

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 5: just dominating a bad team statistically, sometimes making it a

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: bit more dramatic than it needed to be, but getting

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 5: some great plays from players and moments that put you

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 5: over the top. And the Vikings now one in three

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 5: on the twenty twenty three season second segment. Next segment,

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 5: you're gonna hear from head coach Kevin O'Connell in the

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 5: exclusive postgame interview that he does with Ben Lieber, whether

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 5: it's a win or unfortunately through the first three a loss,

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 5: And you're gonna hear that next segment. But let's rewind

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 5: to the action.

46
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 2: Now. What changed yesterday?

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: Of course a victory and what did not change, unfortunately

48
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 5: is early woes offensively in terms of ball security. In

49
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 5: the Tampa game, Vikings punted, then turned the ball over

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 5: the next two possessions. In the Philly game Week two,

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 5: punted and then fumbled against the Eagles on Thursday night.

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 5: Last week, TJ Hawkinson in the red zone fumbles. And

53
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 5: then today well, after a very promising opening drive to

54
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: start the game seven plays seventy yards, right at the

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 5: doorstep of going up six to nothing, Kirk threw a

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 5: pick six.

57
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 6: Cousin's up, the shotgun takes the Austin Schlopeman snap, looks left, rose,

58
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 6: left right to a defender and this might be a

59
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 6: nine nine yard pick six. It is Tam Franklin junior

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 6: inside the fifty cousins of points of Blackford. Does he

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 6: know he doesn't touchdown Carolta Panthers.

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: That is a ninety nine.

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 6: Yard pick six by Sam Franklin, fourth year from Temple,

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 6: and the Panthers have taken a six zero lead.

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 5: You heard it in the boxes voice right there, He's like,

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 5: is this happening again? This can't be, This can't be happening.

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 5: And it feels like in a lot of ways, maybe

68
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 5: we shouldn't be shocked, as so far in twenty twenty three,

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 5: everything's happening the exact opposite way that things transpire a

70
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 5: year ago.

71
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: For instance, specifically with early offense.

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: The Vikings were among the NFL's best a year ago

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 5: in early points, specifically opening possession points, where in the

74
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: first eleven games is scored a touchdown with that opening

75
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 5: opportunity in seven of those games.

76
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: And now it's punting and it's turnovers.

77
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 5: Vikings respond to that by a three and out, and

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 5: suddenly it's midway through the first quarter and the Purple

79
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 5: are on tilt against one of the worst teams in

80
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 5: the NA longest drive for either team yesterday started midway

81
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 5: through the first as the Panthers won on a fifteen

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 5: play drive eight and a half minutes that ended.

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: In a field goal.

84
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 5: So now, right at the beginning of the second quarter,

85
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 5: the Vikings need to wake up in Charlotte against a

86
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: team with a quarterback that doesn't seem quite ready to

87
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 5: be a starting quarterback in the NFL. But they do

88
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 5: just that, ten plays, sixty four yard drives. Everybody, calm down,

89
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 5: this game's not over. We still have.

90
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 6: Justin Jefferson out of the time out, third and one

91
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 6: tenth playoff possession. That's gone sixteen yards, taking five minutes

92
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 6: and change. Cousins play action, rolls out to the right,

93
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 6: pumps fires cut, touchdown justin Jefferson. It is the second

94
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 6: touchdown this season for JJ, tenth thrown by Cousins, and

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 6: it's ten to six Carolina.

96
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 5: There we go, ten minutes left in the half. It's

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 5: ten to seven after Greg Joe's I puts one through

98
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 5: the uprights, and now the teams are exchanging a few punts,

99
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 5: wearing themselves in and Kirk Cousins kind of a story

100
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 5: of the season so far. He was hit thirty two

101
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 5: times total in the first three games. That's unsustainable for

102
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 5: a guy that we want to keep upright now with

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 5: the Panthers, they got some linebackers out secondary's injured, but

104
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 5: they have Jeremy Chin. And Jeremy Chin with a couple

105
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 5: of fumble return tds against the Vikings a few seasons ago,

106
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: put one on Kirk.

107
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 6: Yesterday, Minnesota one to four on third down, Kirk Cousins

108
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 6: is blip and Cousins is sacked by Jeremy Chin. Fourth

109
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 6: year Southern Illinois is eleventh back the season for the

110
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 6: Carolina Panthers.

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 5: Now I play these highlights and you have to trust

112
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 5: me here. The offensive line, in my opinion, actually played

113
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 5: pretty well yesterday. Overall, he was sacked twice, Kirk was

114
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 5: hit just four times. The numbers significantly lower in totality

115
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 5: in terms of the amount of times Kirk was under fire,

116
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: the amount of times he was hitting the turf or

117
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 5: at least being hit a lot lower yesterday than they

118
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: had been in any of the three previous games, so

119
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: a sign of improvement. Many people wondering when Dalton Reisner

120
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 5: was going to replace a certain guard on the offensive line.

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 5: It didn't happen yesterday. Now what did happen yesterday? Which

122
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 5: maybe led to people calling Dalton Reisner's name is a

123
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 5: defender gets around His name is ye Tor Grossmatos, and

124
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 5: he gets around at Ingram and forces another Vikings turnover

125
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 5: thousands out of.

126
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 6: The shot done first down from the Panthers twenty one,

127
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 6: Kirk back to pass. His arm is hit as he

128
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 6: threw it, and the ball goo lies into the air

129
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 6: and into the arms of an awaiting Carolina Panther who

130
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 6: goes tearing down the sideline.

131
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: That was Camou Brew j. Hill that's who that was

132
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: the linebacker. You know what I'm gonna do.

133
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna go ahead and let Pa handle the

134
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 5: pronunciation of that particular player's name. But I can pronounce

135
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 5: somewhere words like turnovers, turnovers as in a massive theme

136
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 5: for the Vikings in twenty twenty three, the pick six.

137
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 5: Think about all these tide turners throughout the twenty twenty

138
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: three You're on your way in yesterday to go up

139
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 5: seven to nothing. There was a penalty on Josh Oliver,

140
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 5: by the way, that negated a touchdown before that. Pick

141
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: six penalties yesterday, some lack of discipline from the Vikings.

142
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 5: Seven penalties yesterday. So that's a problem in its own right.

143
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 5: But the tide turners and turnovers is you go in

144
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 5: for seven, Nope, never mind, they go the other way

145
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 5: ninety nine for seven. That's a tide turner, TI turner

146
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: going in for points and ye tor gros Matos gets

147
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 5: around at Ingram hits Kirk's arm, ball flies in the

148
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 5: air and lands in the arms of that player whose

149
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 5: name I am not interested in trying to pronounce at

150
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 5: this particular moment. So tide turners throughout the day, these turnovers,

151
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 5: leading to points as well, and in this case, the

152
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 5: Carolina Panthers find their way in the final forty seconds

153
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 5: of the half to get themselves a field goal off

154
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 5: that inn. So now it is thirteen to seven at

155
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 5: the break. So here those highlights, Kirk's getting sacked, Kirk's

156
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 5: throwing the ball to the other team, and all of

157
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 5: those things against many teams in the NFL.

158
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: The game is over, but it's the Panthers.

159
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 5: So after the teams exchange a couple of punts to

160
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: start the third quarter, the Carolina Panthers are in the

161
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 5: midst of another long drive ten play, six and a

162
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 5: half minute drive. And it was the defense yesterday that

163
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 5: stepped up and crated a little tide turn for ourselves.

164
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 6: By Seung facing a blitzing Harrison Smith and the ball

165
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 6: team out come in and picked up bye du jay onehum.

166
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: Is loose inside the ten touchdown.

167
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 6: D k one, Them's first National Football League touchdown, has

168
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 6: tied the game.

169
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 5: At thirteen, stripsacked by the hitman Harrison Smith coming in

170
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 5: on a blitz and then Dja rumbled tumbles his way

171
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: to the end zone and the Vikings take the lead.

172
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: And while they would not look back while the tension.

173
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 5: And the drama wasn't over, Defense needed to make another play.

174
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 5: As with the defensive touchdown, Carolina just gets the roll

175
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 5: right back out there and they can go down. They

176
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 5: can put seven on the board, and now Vikings are

177
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 5: chasing the score line again. They can kick a field

178
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: goal and at least take the lead. Now, defense just

179
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: put the pedal down, and this time Daniel Hunter found

180
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: his way to the rookie.

181
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 6: Daniel Hunter and dj Wanham the alclad guys for Bryce

182
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 6: Young on third down, back to pass.

183
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: He has no idea what's happening in his sack. Ryce

184
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: Young is so confused right.

185
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 6: Now, Marcus Davenport started it. Daniel Hunter will get the solo.

186
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: Sack, which means he has fixed the season.

187
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 5: It was amazing and it was kind of fun yesterday

188
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 5: to feel it for myself, this massive attitude change that

189
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 5: took place in such a short period of time. I

190
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 5: also noticed it with the fans via social media and

191
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 5: sech yesterday too. And we love JJ getting to the

192
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 5: end zone, and we love the idea of what this

193
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 5: offense can be, but we very rarely have seen it

194
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 5: truly dominate, at least in twenty twenty three and the defects.

195
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: It's one of those things where you know, we'll get

196
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 5: to final stats and such from yesterday, but they gave

197
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 5: up two hundred and seventy rushing yards to the Philadelphia Eagles,

198
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: come home and allow four hundred and fifty passing yards

199
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 5: to the Los Angeles Chargers. So we know about the

200
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: inadequacies and the imperfections, and above all else, you're in

201
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 5: each of those games and you're not getting over the hump.

202
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: So everything's negative.

203
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: And through that first half yesterday, you start out the

204
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 5: game the way that you've started out other losing affairs,

205
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 5: with a turnover, the pick six and it goes the

206
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 5: wrong way. So all of that is just this and

207
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 5: the perception that the Carolina Panthers, by the way, are

208
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 5: one of the worst teams in the NFL. That perception

209
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 5: appears to be accurate. And so you're doing this against

210
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 5: the bottom feeder of the entire league.

211
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: What is happening? It's so negative.

212
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 5: And we've seen Kirk throw for three one hundred and

213
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 5: fifty yards and three or four touchdowns, and we've seen

214
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 5: the team lose. We've seen JJ go for one hundred

215
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 5: and fifty yards and touchdown off and touchdown, and we've

216
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 5: seen the team lose. But dj Wanam hitman on the

217
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 5: strip sack and then you force the three and out

218
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 5: with a massive Danil Hunter sighting. Immediately after that, the

219
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 5: defense making itself known and becoming such a huge presence

220
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: and a force in this game, taking over the game,

221
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 5: I would say helped with that attitude change that I

222
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 5: went through late stages of the third quarter as Bryce

223
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 5: Young was running for his freaking life. Now the offense,

224
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 5: you got the lead fourteen to thirteen towards the end

225
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 5: of the third quarter.

226
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: You just have to close this one out if you will.

227
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: Bob up four plays fifty six yards and JJ get

228
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 5: into the end zone for a second time.

229
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 6: I like that second and one from the Carolina thirty

230
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 6: two receivers right JK to the left got a three

231
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 6: one takes the stat fires to the end, so did

232
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 6: Jefferson to They single JJ and they paid. It is

233
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 6: twenty to thirteen, Minnesota, and that.

234
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 5: Ends up being your final score, twenty one to thirteen

235
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 5: with the extra point.

236
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: But it is not the end of the game. It's

237
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 2: just the end of the third quarter.

238
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: And as I mentioned just a couple of minutes ago,

239
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: We love it when Kirk goes for three point fifty

240
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 5: and four. We love it when JJ catches all those passes,

241
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: makes all those plays. Big smile, he's dancing in the

242
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 5: end zone. Those are all great things for the Vikings

243
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: that we adore. But as much as we needed JJ

244
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 5: to put the Vikings in front, we need the defense

245
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 5: to shut it down. When you heard daneil Hunter sacking

246
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 5: Bryce Young, Bryce Young was under fire yesterday. One guy

247
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 5: that we had not heard being mentioned much, if at all,

248
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 5: through the first three games. Marcus Davenport. Where's he ben

249
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 5: Vikings choire him in the offseason? Has an ankle injury.

250
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 5: I think he played four snaps in the Thursday night

251
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: game at Philly, but zero impact to match the zero

252
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: on his jersey. He was a one man wrecking crew

253
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 5: yesterday with highlights like this.

254
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 6: Re receivers right and Hayton Hurst to the left, Adam

255
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 6: Field inside lot right, yump back to pass on third down,

256
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 6: sees nothing.

257
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: Marcus Davenport.

258
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 6: Goddamn Marcus Davenport with his first sack as a member

259
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 6: of the Minnesota Vikings. Drive back the Carolina Panthers and

260
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 6: Johnny Hecker.

261
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: Is into pun How about that?

262
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 5: Marcus Davenport, who totaled one half sack a year ago

263
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 5: for the New Orleans Saints.

264
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: At half sack was on Kirk Cousins in London.

265
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 5: By the way, he got a full sack, he doubled

266
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 5: last year's total in one play. But in all honesty,

267
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 5: he was requiring extra attention. It opened up opportunities for

268
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: other and that was something that was sorely missed on

269
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 5: that defense on the front line for the Minnesota Vikings defense.

270
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 5: Now he was making himself no love Marcus Davenport being

271
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 5: healthy about Harrison Smith.

272
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: Let's just this stat line here.

273
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 5: Fourteen tackles, three sacks, tackles for loss. He had two

274
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 5: hit the quarterback a few times. The way he was

275
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 5: being deployed yesterday, and the way he dominated, specifically on

276
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: the final possession for the Carolina Panthers where they're driving

277
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 5: again it's.

278
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: A one possession game. Let's not forget this.

279
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 5: Midway through the fourth the Carolina Panthers going a fifteen

280
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 5: play fifty one yard drive that took six and a

281
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 5: half minutes, and we were sweating it as they got

282
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 5: inside Minnesota's ten yard line. It was first in goal

283
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 5: at the Vikings nine but then Harrison Smith while he

284
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 5: went to work second and goal from.

285
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 6: The nine by to leave by eight five to go

286
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 6: in the game. Rece Young fasting a blitz and he

287
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 6: cannot get away from it. Here's that for the fourth time,

288
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 6: and it was a blitzing. Harry the hit Man. Marcus

289
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 6: Davenport also in the mix. Two sacked today if they

290
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 6: give it to him and pull for Harrison Smith and

291
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 6: that backs up these kiddies.

292
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: Third and eighteen. Eventually at the Minnesota Vikings eighteen yard line,

293
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 5: Bryce Young, he's harassed again DJ Wantam in the mix.

294
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: He has to throw it in complete, falls harmlessly front

295
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 5: side of the end zone, and then the Vikings take

296
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 5: a time out.

297
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: There's about a minute.

298
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 5: Left, fourth and goal from the eighteen yard line, and

299
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 5: Harry the Hitman kicks down the door once more.

300
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 6: A come fourth and goal from the eighteen empty backfield.

301
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 6: Three receivers left, two right, twenty one thirteen Minnesota. Bryce

302
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 6: Young between the hash marks, takes the Bozeman snat.

303
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: Poor Man rush Pay's hit, Henry's sacked. He is hit

304
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: and sacked and taken down.

305
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 6: If I have the player of the game, Harrison Smith

306
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 6: with his third sack, this game, his second sack as

307
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 6: he throws his helmet in joy to the Viking sideline.

308
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 6: First time he ever had a two sack game in

309
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 6: his career. This is the one hundred and sixty ninth game.

310
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 6: Well he has three stacks today.

311
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: The most sax Harrison Smith's ever had in a season

312
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 5: was three, and he had three yesterday. So big outlier

313
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 5: game for a guy that's had a lot of those

314
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 5: big games for the Vikings in his decade plus time

315
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 5: in Purple. The Vikings offense takes over, wears out the clock.

316
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 5: Twenty one to thirteen is the final score. Vikings now

317
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 5: one to three, and so many cool things to celebrate. Defensively,

318
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 5: yesterday you can play the game of well it's the Panthers,

319
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 5: Well it's Bryce Young. But these are the types of

320
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 5: games I think a team like the Vikings need as

321
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 5: they propel themselves forward, but offensively even as well. Two

322
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 5: consecutive games where the Vikings are running effectively twenty three

323
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 5: carries at five point nine per one hundred and thirty

324
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: five yards in the ground. Madison with ninety five got

325
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 5: to see cam Akers yesterday his five carries, but he

326
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 5: went for forty and so productivity in the run game. Actually,

327
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: the Kirk threw for one hundred and thirty net yards

328
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 5: and the Vikings ran for one thirty five. It's been

329
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: a few years since the running attack out game, the

330
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 5: passing attack.

331
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: It was light work for Kirk yesterday.

332
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 5: He only completed twelve passes to his own team, fourteen

333
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 5: if you count the two that he gave to the kiddies.

334
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: We're not gonna do that. Twelve and nineteen, a buck

335
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: thirty nine, and the two.

336
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 5: Touchdowns to JJ, the two picks, but light work for

337
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 5: the receiving corps, just kind of game flow, all of

338
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 5: those things. The Panthers had forty minutes of possession yesterday,

339
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 5: but we're severely overmatched, just a weird one down in Charlotte.

340
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 5: Vikings are on the right side of it, and they

341
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 5: improve to one and three chiefs next week. We know

342
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 5: that it's Patrick Mahomes, it's Travis Kelce and all those things.

343
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,239
Speaker 5: But for today, let's just celebrate that the Vikings were

344
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 5: victorious and now have a victory something to build off of.

345
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 5: Before I go, because we're gonna play KOC with Ben

346

Speaker 5: the highlights from yesterday's twenty one thirteen Vikings victory over

381
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: the Carolina Panthers immediately after the game.

382
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: Now that the team.

383
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 5: Finally won one a much more positive conversation in the

384
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 5: exclusive postgame interview that Ben Lieber does with Kevin O'Connell

385
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 5: and Ben.

386
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: Got to start things out going. Hey, how about that defense?

387
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 7: No, I think so much credit to coach Flow, his

388
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 7: staff and those players, really taking what I thought was

389
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 7: a really really good game plan by those guys, really

390
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 7: taking advantage of what we've done these first three weeks,

391
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 7: trying to cost some confusion out of some of those looks,

392
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 7: and then just relying on some critical downs, relying on

393
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 7: our best to go make some place. Harrison Smith, what

394
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 7: an unbelievable performance and when you had to have it

395
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 7: over and over again twenty two just we can rely

396
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 7: on him in those moments. Three sacks, the force, fumble

397
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 7: all over the place. You know, from the jump, I

398
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 7: knew we were going to get a special day out

399
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 7: of Harrison and it doesn't shock me one bit. One

400
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 7: of my favorite players I've ever coached.

401
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: Well, one of the other guys that we we haven't

402
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: seen much of, and that's Marcus Davenport. I know that

403
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: you guys had a chance to see him in training camp.

404
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: You guys know how disruptive he can be. Guys know

405
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: that you know what he does your defensive front as

406
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: far as different different alignments and the flexibility. But all

407
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: day today he was just creating chaos. Is that sort

408
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: of what you guys expect with a healthy Davenport?

409
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the expectation.

410
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 7: And Marcus, to his credit, you know, has not allowed this,

411
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 7: you know, early on struggle of getting on the field

412
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 7: to affect his overall preparation. Nobody's wanted to be out

413
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 7: there more Ben than Marcus, and so great to have

414
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 7: him back with that group. And I mean, I know

415
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 7: you could feel it. You can feel his impact from

416
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 7: the jump, I mean, pairing him with Danil in some

417
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 7: of those rush groups on third downs, his physicality and

418
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 7: how hard he can beat a block on the edge

419
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 7: in the run game, and then just what that's able

420
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 7: to do for a guy like dj Wantam, you know,

421
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 7: to get in that nice sweet spot. He had six

422
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 7: tackles in a sack and obviously a fumble return for

423
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 7: a touchdown. Pat Jones was physical. That outside backer group

424
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 7: can be a real determining factor for our team when

425
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 7: we have all four of those guys up and rolling,

426
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 7: and then you combine it with some of the looks

427
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 7: that flows throwing at people, pairing the pressure with coverage

428
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 7: and pressure and coverage.

429
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: It's exciting for me.

430
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 7: And my challenge to them is just to keep on

431
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 7: building on what we've been able to do, and that's

432
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 7: really our whole team. Mantra Go back to work, regardless

433
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 7: of the outcome, improve and go play our best game yet,

434
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 7: our very next opportunity.

435
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 3: Well, switching over to the offense, I know, obviously, you guys,

436
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 3: not the way you want to end that first series.

437
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 3: Guys did a great job getting down the field, some

438
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: big plays and then obviously the pick six. But you

439
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: guys settled in not a ton of offensive plays, but

440
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: you really got the run game going. We've talked about it,

441
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: you know, all year long, getting the run game going.

442
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: One hundred and thirty five yards on the ground and

443
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: was six yards of rush. Madison goes off for ninety five.

444
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: But then Cam Akers much like Marcus Stavenport. You know,

445
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 3: we don't know much about this player. You know him

446
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: a lot more, but what sort of effect did he

447
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: have in the run game.

448
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Alex and Cam we're both very, very

449
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 7: good getting downhill. I credit our offensive line, the interior

450
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 7: of our offensive line, Josh Oliver TJ on the edges

451
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 7: with Johnny Munt CJ getting sell him on a power

452
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 7: play backed up there. I love the urgency that we've

453
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 7: shown in the emphasis that we've put into the run

454
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 7: game as a staff and as players that we can

455
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 7: lean on it in moments when our defense is playing

456
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 7: really well, and we did have two turnovers. You know,

457
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 7: I love the first drive of the game, mixing it

458
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 7: different plays here and there. We get all the way

459
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 7: down there, we score one time, they take it off

460
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 7: the board with the hold and then that's just a

461
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 7: throw that we can't make in that moment, and Kirk

462
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 7: knows that just kind of laid it out to the

463
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 7: flat and kind of just because it's you know, it's

464
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 7: the starting point of the read. But he's more than

465
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 7: capable of progressing through that and he will. Kirk continues

466
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 7: to lead the show, doing everything we need him to

467
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 7: do to help move our team and ultimately Ben when

468
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 7: you look at before that four minute drive, at the

469
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 7: very end, forty plays on offense, we're still at near

470
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 7: six and a half yards of play. But we just

471
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 7: have to sustain more and when we have to have

472
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,359
