It was a 4 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: twenty four to thirteen Seattle Seahawks victory. We are at Loominfield. 5 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: Ben Lieber also joined us on the call on Fox 6 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: nine and your twenty three year flagship for Minnesota Vikings 7 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: Football f N one hundred point three KFAM. Before we 8 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: get the thoughts of the analyst, let's get the thoughts 9 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: on the loss and some things that developed from Minnesota 10 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell and his press conference right 11 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: after the game. 12 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: All Right, appreciate you guys. You know, good opportunity for 13 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: our football team. You know, we we clearly did not 14 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: play a good number of guys. I think the number 15 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: got up to seventeen or eighteen of our starters, guys 16 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: that are having great training camps and doing a lot 17 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: of great things. But what I wanted to see was 18 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: our execution across the board. I thought in the first 19 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: half offensively, Nick Bullen's really you know, really managing the 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: game really well, making some big time decisions moving within 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: the pocket checking the ball down at the right times, 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: pushing the ball down the field at the right times. 23 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: I thought ty Chandler jumped out just anytime he had 24 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: the ball in his hand, very rarely tackled by the 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: first defender that was in space, you know, as you know, 26 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: catching the ball, and then picked up really where he 27 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: left off as far as his ability when the lights 28 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: come on to you know, sometimes turn into a different guy. 29 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 2: And you know, now I want to see it every 30 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: single day and really see him be consistent because he's proven, 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: you know, when. 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: It goes live and it's it's real football. 33 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: He's a tough guy to bring to the ground, getting 34 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: Jordan and Jalen Riger going with some plays there, and 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: then Nick Muse with a big touchdown catch to close 36 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: a drive out, you know, Greg jose Is hitting the 37 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: long field goal. And then defensively, I thought, you know, 38 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: early on, those guys were winning the line of scrimmage 39 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: and a lot of the guys that keep showing up 40 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: every day on the tape and practice did the same tonight. 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 3: Thought our tackling was solid for the most part. 42 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: Just got to make sure we're keeping our head out 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: of some of those hits there. But love, the willingness 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 2: and the physicality really at all three levels early on 45 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: and then the second half, we just got to continue 46 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: to you know, coach those guys up and they may 47 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: not get a lot of reps, but I just firmly believe, 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: maybe it's my own personal experience, I want those guys 49 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: to feel like they're getting every opportunity to try to 50 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: make our team and really make an impact for the future. 51 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: But would love to win the game. 52 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: But we got a lot of things to correct, a 53 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: lot of things to really build upon and hopefully have 54 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: some great joy practices this week and you know, welcoming 55 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: in the Tennessee Titans, which will be a huge week 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: of work for us before Arizona arrives the following week. 57 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 4: You mentioned Ty, did you guys go on to tonight 58 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 4: thinking this was going to be a pretty heavy workload 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 4: night for him just to get a longer look. 60 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: At h Yeah, with Can being down kind of still 61 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: working through what he's working through. You know, I really 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: wanted to see Tie and see what he can handle 63 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: as far as all the phases of our offense. And 64 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: I thought, you know, you know, as a call him 65 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: plays there for him here and there in the first half, 66 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: I found myself wanting to get them touches, and that's 67 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: always a good thing. And just his you know, his 68 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: ability to see it in live game action. His vision 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: is burst, you know, his finish it all showed up. 70 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 2: And then, like I said, his ability out of the backfield, 71 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: either on a screen to even getting four or five 72 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: on a screen that really wasn't well executed. 73 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: He's making things happen. 74 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: So when we can clean up our execution around him, 75 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: you can start to project his impact. 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: So really positive night for him. 77 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 4: What do you think of how the you mentioned Mullin's 78 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 4: a little bit. What do you think of how the 79 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: quarterbacks did? 80 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? 81 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: Like I said, I thought Nick played well, really managed 82 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: it well. And what the challenge is for him and 83 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: really a lot of quarterbacks when they get their opportunit 84 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: is not trying to do too much. 85 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 3: And I thought he just continued. 86 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: To execute play after play and and and really made 87 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: some things right for us a lot of you know, 88 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: even in some instances telling some guys you know that 89 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 2: just recently arrived here what to do, how to line up? 90 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 2: He had his plate fold tonight and handled it really well, 91 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: which is what I expected. Nick's had a great camp 92 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 2: and continues to grow every single day and really gaining 93 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: the confidence of our team. 94 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 3: You know, if something were to happen to. 95 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 2: Kirk, you know, the guys have a lot of confidence 96 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: in Nick and then Jared. You know, it wasn't the 97 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: easiest of circumstances out there for him. Thought we could 98 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: have done some things to help him. But what what 99 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 2: did flash to me was it was his athleticism. Conflict resolution. 100 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 2: There was plenty of it, and he was able to 101 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: kind of you know, at least sometimes not extend plays 102 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: for big games, but sax saving plays, getting out, spinning 103 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 2: out when we missed a couple of protection assignments, and 104 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 2: just trying to you know, the big key there is 105 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: and when you're in those situations, can you find a 106 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: way to not make a bad play worse? And I 107 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: speak from direct experience on that, so I was proud. 108 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: To see him do that. 109 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 2: And you know, we'll continue to just get the operation 110 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: a little cleaner with those threes and fours in there, 111 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: and that's on us as coaches to do and and 112 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: I think we'll see a progression throughout the next two 113 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: weeks because those guys are gonna. 114 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 3: Get a lot of reps. 115 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 5: How did Ivan do in the expanded role. 116 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, he keeps flashing. You just see him around the 117 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: ball a lot. 118 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 2: He got, you know, a lot of green dot work 119 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: calling the defense, which I know he was looking forward to. 120 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: And and all that guy does. 121 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: Is continue to do what he's done his whole career, 122 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: which is make a lot of plays, be around the 123 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: football savvy instincts, and then when he sees it, he's 124 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: downhill making plays. And I'm really really excited about where 125 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: he's at right now. And now it's the same thing 126 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: with a lot of the players that are off to 127 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: really good starts. Can you consistently sustain it through training 128 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 2: camp and and through uh, you know, the joint practice 129 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: work when when we're really you know, in a controlled setting, 130 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: it's it's for real and we're trying. 131 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: To truly see where we're at as a football team. 132 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 4: What did you think of the protection? I guess specifically 133 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 4: for Jaron, but it seemed like Nick was under some 134 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: pressure early too. 135 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: What do you think of them? 136 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were you know, you never quite know how 137 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: teams are gonna go about, you know, playing these games. 138 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: You know, you can watch our opponent. 139 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: Tonight play last year in the first preseason game and 140 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: not see you know, a whole lot of issues on 141 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: the tape, and then they you know, come out tonight 142 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 2: and there's some edge pressures and some clear uh you know, 143 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,559 Speaker 2: feel to a mindset of how they wanted to play. 144 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: And I thought we took advantage of it in some 145 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: moments and I thought they got us in some others. 146 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: But we continue to want to marry the run in 147 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: the pass and a lot of the immediate duress was 148 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: you know, on some play passes and some things that 149 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: that shouldn't happen on when we can account for all 150 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: the hats in the box and then the third down protection. 151 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: We just got to continue to try to strive and 152 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 2: and and work our technique, work our fundamentals, and try 153 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: to give that quarterback enough time because we we feel 154 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 2: strongly about our weapons going down the field. I think 155 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: Nick's always going to be progressing in rhythm. Finding open guys. 156 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: Can we give him that extra click to do his 157 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: job will always be the challenge. And this was really 158 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: a good, you know, a good learning experience for some 159 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: guys that have that have maybe flashed in the not 160 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: so you know, full game, like you know, conditions, and 161 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: then they were out there tonight and you got to 162 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: ask yourself, was it moving too fast for me? 163 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: At times? 164 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: Was I able to handle a consistent drive? We had 165 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: some longer drives tonight backed up way too much in 166 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: our own end, and we're able to drive it. 167 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: But that's what these games are for. And I just 168 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: told our team assess. 169 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: Where you were at you feel like you're at right now, 170 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: and your own personal responsibility of where you're at is 171 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: going to be what determines your ability to find the 172 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: formula moving forward to not only improve, but continue to 173 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: try to find your way on our team. 174 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 4: With ty, I mean you've talked about one to see 175 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 4: him a little bit here, but how did he do 176 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: pass protection wise? 177 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, you know. 178 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: It seems like that's a big thing you guys wanted 179 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 4: to see. 180 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, off the top of my head, I 181 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: think there wasn't really anything that jumped out at me. 182 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: We'll go back and watch the tape and just see exactly, Hey, 183 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: what was the call, what was the communication like, and 184 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: then we'll be able to get a clear assessment. But 185 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: I thought for the most part, you know, he seemed 186 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: to really be totally you know, in the moment, and 187 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: it was not too big for him, as it was 188 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: not too big for him last year as. 189 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: Well in the preseason. 190 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: That's what God is so excited about him and would 191 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: have loved to you know, you get so tempted in 192 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: these games. 193 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: Hey, maybe we let Nick and tie and some of 194 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: these guys. 195 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: Maybe Jordan go one more go one more drive, and 196 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: you got to stay true to the plan and make 197 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: sure you understand it's about the overall progression and our 198 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: plan for our team and a lot of positives. 199 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 3: Tonight didn't win the football game, and we always want 200 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: to try to do that. 201 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: Just not enough offense in the second half and put 202 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: the defense in some tough spots. 203 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: That's question. 204 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 5: Special teams was kind of a mix of things with 205 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 5: the long kick by Greg for the field goal, but 206 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 5: you rotated, you kicked shorter kickoffs. What did you think 207 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 5: you got what you wanted to find out about specials tonight? 208 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely something you want to go back and study, 209 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: even when they're you know, we're allowing some of those 210 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: returns and trying to see our kickoff units. You'd love 211 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: to get those balls a little bit closer, you know, 212 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: to inside the five at least, Gee told me a 213 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: couple of times he didn't hit a couple of them great, 214 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: but I know this is a tough place to kick 215 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: heavy air, and he drilled that that field goal, which 216 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: was big. 217 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 3: So overall, you know, didn't love the penalties. 218 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: I thought there was a lot of and that's normal 219 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: for the first preseason game. But now, you know, can 220 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: we go back and start to rectify some of those things. 221 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: The holding calls on some of the kick returns. You 222 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 2: know you're gonna be starting at your own ten. You're 223 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: inside your own ten and having to drive ninety yards 224 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: is not the formula on the road at Seattle, even 225 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 2: in a preseason game. 226 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: With a couple of touchdowns there on the second half, 227 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 4: I guess the one is kind of a broken play. 228 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 4: But the Andrew Booth one especially, was there something that 229 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: he needed to do kind of more the line. 230 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: I just know whe're and a man call, you know, 231 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: try to you know, maybe sending a five man rush. 232 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: So guys are truly you know, with you got safety 233 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: help in the middle, but you're you're you're in one 234 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: on one and don't know whether that guy kind of 235 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: just got a good release off the ball looked like 236 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 2: they were just running four verticals with kind of. 237 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: A shallow underneath it. 238 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: But I would have to go back and look at 239 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: it whether he was you know, what his technique was. 240 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 2: And then you know, in those man and man situations, 241 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: we're gonna see, uh, we want to see those opportunities 242 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: come up, so we can really evaluate where our guys 243 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,599 Speaker 2: are at from a coverage standpoint. Now Flow has a 244 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: thousand tools at his disposal, uh to activate when you 245 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 2: know September tenth rolls around to you know, not only 246 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: apply pressure as we know, but you know, to provide 247 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: some confusion and disguise and things like that. But really 248 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: want to see our play, our guys play, and as 249 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 2: close as you can get in those critical downs third 250 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: down there, third and eight and the high red chance 251 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: to really you know, get off the field and hold 252 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: them to three. 253 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 3: They get that. 254 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: Touchdown and then the broken you know, the broken play 255 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: touchdown when we had a free runner off that right edge. 256 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: Guys made some plays on the football when it was 257 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 2: in the air and and and we didn't. And that's 258 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: gonna that's gonna happen sometimes when you're trying to get 259 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: those evals of your guys on. 260 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 4: The Addison catch on the sidelines? Did did you have 261 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: a good enough view that did you take about? 262 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 3: I know, not personally, and and uh, you know. 263 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 2: We're all you know, we're all you know, working through 264 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: our reps of the preseason. It was not something that 265 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: I could see directly and then and then didn't really 266 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: think that there was enough of an opinion upstairs or 267 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 2: from anybody on the sideline. But uh, I you know, 268 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: ben leeber let me know that it was a catch. 269 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: He couldn't wait to tell me that. So in season, 270 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: you know, I'll try to make sure I personally get 271 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: a better look at it. And then would always love 272 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 2: to get a challenge right there because it was a 273 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: heck of a play and if he in fact did 274 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: get his feed in, that's what he's been doing all 275 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: training camp, so would have been great for his first 276 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: career catch. Doesn't take away the route or the execution, 277 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: but uh, I'm sure I would love to get a 278 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: chance to throw that flag right there. 279 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: Than thanks, that's Koc And here's former Vikings coaching player 280 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: Pete Bursich. I mean, it got really ratty late, but nevertheless, 281 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: there were some good things for the Vikings what do 282 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: you think. 283 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 6: No, no question about it. There were some good performances 284 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 6: out there, you know. I think guys like Nick Mullins 285 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 6: and some of these other some of these other players 286 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 6: stepped up. Josh Battellus I thought was in there, did 287 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 6: a good job. We got a chance to see Ivan 288 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 6: Pace get out there and run around a little bit. 289 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 6: Seeing Lewis scene back on the field, I mean, he 290 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 6: was all he was really all over the place, got 291 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 6: to lower his pads a little bit. He's not used 292 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 6: to probably not used to the hitting quite so much yet. 293 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 6: But to see him back on the field was just 294 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 6: an absolute great thing after what he's had to overcome 295 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 6: to get back on the field. And yeah, you know 296 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 6: it's I'd call it a good start, not a great start, 297 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 6: but a good start. Greg Joseph hit a field goal 298 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 6: from fifty four yards. Nick muse a second year tied 299 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 6: in from South Carolina. He caught a touchdown from Nick 300 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 6: Mullins and it was only four yards, but it was 301 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 6: a really nice row and catch back right of the 302 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 6: end zone that gave the Vikings a ten zero lead 303 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 6: at that point. But Seattle would go on to a 304 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 6: twenty four to thirteen victory. Mullins finished fourteen of twenty 305 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 6: one to thirty nine in that touchdown. Then BYU rookie 306 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 6: Jaren Hall got some significant run in the second half. 307 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 6: He finished six of fourteen for thirty seven yards. Didn't 308 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 6: get a chance to run. I mean, he was under 309 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 6: duress and a lot of pressure a majority of his snaps. Yeah, 310 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 6: he was especially late in the game. But you know, offensively, 311 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 6: and this kind of goes to the Alexander Madison thing 312 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 6: with him replacing Dalvin Cook is the explosiveness of this offense. Right, 313 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 6: this is an explosive offense and we can't hang all 314 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 6: of that on Justin Jefferson. You've got to have other 315 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 6: guys step up and be part of it. And I 316 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 6: think tonight that's a little bit of what this offense 317 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 6: was lacking. It's just not a lot no big runs. Obviously, 318 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 6: you gotta take some shot shots deep. You got to 319 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 6: loosen up the defense a little bit, and if the 320 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 6: protection's not there, that's you know, it's very difficult to do. 321 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 6: So Yeah, overall, I think special teams. You know, you 322 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 6: did some good things out there, but you know, the 323 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 6: muff punt was a big, huge play in the course 324 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 6: of the game allowed Seattle get back up on top, 325 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 6: and you know, those kinds of mistakes you just don't want. 326 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: To have now early in the game, with the likes 327 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: of Dean Lowry and Harrison Phillips and Marcus Davenport and 328 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: some other players who will make up part of the 329 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: front seven for the Vikings, well with them not playing 330 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: Kyris Tonga, Jonathan Bullard, even back to Ross Blacklock and 331 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: some other players, the interior of the Vikings defensive line 332 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: was praiseworthy by the analyst Pete Bursich at certain facets 333 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: of the first half. What did you see? 334 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 6: I think I saw exactly what Harrison Phillips alluded to 335 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 6: when he was on a sideline talking with Ben and 336 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 6: that the linebackers in this scheme, in this defense can flow, 337 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 6: and I don't mean left and right. I'm talking about 338 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 6: getting north and south, getting downhill. And when they do that, 339 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 6: they pull off a lot of those double teams that 340 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 6: are happening happening up front with that defensive line. So 341 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 6: a little bit of a tweak in the scheme, so 342 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 6: to speak, and it's gonna free up those guys up front, 343 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 6: but it's that's a big concern. You know, Dalvin Tomlinson 344 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 6: was a big loss for this team. I think is 345 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 6: a defensive tackle. So who's gonna take his spot, Who's 346 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 6: gonna you know, who's gonna fill in for him? I 347 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 6: think you have a lot of options, and a lot 348 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 6: of those guys up front played pretty well today. I mean, 349 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 6: Kiris Tanga is getting his opportunity. You know, we saw 350 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 6: him walk off the field late, so hopefully he's gonna 351 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 6: be okay and be ready for the you know, the 352 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 6: next game against the Titans. But we need every single 353 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 6: one of those bodies up front, and you know, I'm 354 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 6: looking forward to seeing Daniel Hunter and and and Marcus 355 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 6: Davenport getting out there as well, and those big physical 356 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 6: presence on the outside. 357 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: We had the privilege of watching for a short amount 358 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: of time two rookie wide receivers who both have a 359 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: chance to be very good. First for the Seattle Seahawks, 360 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and jigbab from Ohio State, a first round pick. 361 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: Three catches twenty five yards. Also Jordan Addison. He started 362 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings without Jefferson end or kJ Osborne playing, 363 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: and Addison was targeted three times by Mullins, one catch 364 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: for twenty two yards. This is a very talented young 365 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: man who's very twitchy, and even in a preseason game, 366 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: they're just the wheels in the mind have to be turning, 367 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: you know. There's just a lot of thinking. 368 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 6: There is, and I think for both of these receivers, 369 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 6: they're coming into some, you know, pretty good situations where 370 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 6: you look at Jackson Smith and Jigba, you have Tyler 371 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 6: Lockett and DK Metcalf out there. So if you're the 372 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 6: number three receiver, you know you're not going to be 373 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 6: drawn a lot of the attention. And the same thing 374 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 6: I think with Jordan Addison obviously with Justin Jefferson. I 375 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 6: think the advantage that that Addison has is he's got 376 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 6: a pretty veteran quarterback and passer, you know, in Kirk Cousins. 377 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 6: So you know, Addison can get down the field, he 378 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 6: can recoverage as well. I'd like, you know, like to 379 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 6: see the ball get to him a little bit more, 380 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 6: maybe earlier in the games. I don't know. It just 381 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 6: seemed like our passing game just wasn't as explosive and 382 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 6: as potent as you'd like to see it, or that 383 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 6: we normally see it. But then again, it is the preseason. 384 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 6: This is the first game, so you're not playing with 385 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 6: a full playbook. I understand that, you know, but we 386 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 6: you know, that's that's how we are. We've been doing 387 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 6: this for a long time. We want to you know, 388 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 6: you gotta walk before you run, but we want to. 389 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 6: We want to hit the ground running. 390 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: Hey also one of the key offseason acquisitions by the 391 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. As we continue the Vikings postgame report from 392 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: Seattle with Pete Bursu, John Paul Allen was a Josh Oliver, 393 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: formerly a tight end with the Baltimore Ravens, came into 394 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: the game played a couple of years with the Jacksonville Jaguars. 395 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: As a third round pick from San Jose State University. 396 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: He's widely considered by many, not just within this team, 397 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: as one of the, if not the best, run blocking 398 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: tight ends in the National Football League. Well, he played 399 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: this evening and played several series, which could be surprising 400 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: to some. Why do you think they had a key 401 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: member of the rushing attack play this evening? 402 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 6: No, I think they just out of necessity, you know, 403 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 6: needed him out there. You know, our our our our 404 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 6: second team offensive line, I think struggled a little bit 405 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 6: and it seemed like they were unsure a little bit. 406 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 6: They weren't as physical as I'd like to see them be. 407 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 6: But it's really situational as well. And you know, third 408 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 6: and short, fourth down and short when we try to 409 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 6: run the football. That was a bit of a thorn 410 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 6: on our side last year. And we saw a perfect 411 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 6: example of that, you know, late in the game today, 412 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 6: I think with Ben Simms was in there and Nick 413 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 6: Muses in there and Seattle just took all their d 414 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 6: linemen and stunning them inside underneath and they and they 415 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 6: got penetration. That's what Josh Oliver's here for, to make 416 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 6: sure that defenses can't do that, especially in the red zone, 417 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 6: like it can't just just stunt down that defensive lineman 418 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 6: and let him get in the backfield. So the running 419 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 6: game we got outside a little bit, ty channeling had 420 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 6: a nice run outside and the double team, uh, you 421 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 6: know that Josh Oliver and I believe Johnny Munt had 422 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 6: so those two guys where I think worked really well 423 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 6: in the blocking scheme. And again, when you lose a 424 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 6: Dalvin Cook, you've got to find a way to be 425 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 6: able to maintain that running game. And Alexander Madison I 426 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 6: think is going to do a great job, will be well, 427 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 6: the question is will he be as explosive as Dalvin 428 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 6: Cook can he be? But having Josh Oliver at tight 429 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 6: end is going to be a big shot in the 430 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 6: arm of this running game, no matter, no question about it. 431 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: Now, Peter Enclosing, you know better than anybody man because 432 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: you coached and played. But injuries at this time of 433 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: the year really can foil players, not only when it 434 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: comes to playing time or making the Act of fifty three, 435 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: but even like the practice squad. And I'm certainly not 436 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: insinuating that with speedy wide receiver Jalen Naylor in his 437 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: second year, he's going to be on the team, but 438 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: he wasn't able to play tonight. That opened the door 439 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: for Nikhil Harry, who just got here within like the 440 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: last week in change or whatever from the Chicago Bears. 441 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: He made a very nice catch and also canay one Wu. 442 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: You know where kna Wan Wou maybe the backup running 443 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: back to Alexander Madison. But Ty Chandler is also so 444 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: right there. Ty had some good moments. Tye also second 445 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: year from North Carolina, targeted four times. He caught all 446 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: four of them. For twenty nine yards. You know, these 447 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: players don't want to be hurt. They want to play, 448 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: even if it's a preseason game. Hopefully both of them 449 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: get well soon. 450 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 6: Yeah. Absolutely. And for Jalen Naylor, Jalen Naylor, you know, 451 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 6: he's out there, Jalen Ragers out there making plays. You 452 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 6: got a guy like Blake Proll who's doing, you know, 453 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 6: doing some things. Nick hil Harry, a former first round 454 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 6: draft pick in twenty nineteen, you know, and then you 455 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 6: also have Brandon Powell who did some nice things today too. 456 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 6: These guys are all veteran receivers, you know, and that's 457 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 6: it's one of the most valuable things that a player 458 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 6: can have, his experience, and it's one of the toughest 459 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 6: things to get. And for Jalen Naylor, if you if 460 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 6: you don't, if you can't stay on the field. And 461 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 6: he had this problem at Michigan State. I think the 462 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 6: nine games is the most that he ever played in 463 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 6: the season. So he struggled with staying healthy in college. 464 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 6: And if that's going to continue here, that's going to 465 00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 6: be in the back of the minds of all these 466 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 6: coach which is when it comes down to these final 467 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 6: cuts and We know what Naylor's about, we know he's 468 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 6: very explosive. We got to get him on the field. 469 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 6: But again, it's amazing, though, Paul, say this, when you're 470 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 6: on the sidelines and you're injured and the guy that's 471 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 6: in behind you is out there making plays, it's amazing 472 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 6: how quickly, how quickly that helps recovery. So I expect 473 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 6: Naylor to be back on the field hopefully, you know, 474 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 6: really soon. 475 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: That's Pete Bursich and I'm Paul Allen. Thank you very 476 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: much for watching the game this evening on Fox nine 477 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: and or listening to it on FM one hundred point 478 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: three KFAM.
