1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Welcome into the two Minute Warning presented by three M,

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: the official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings. I'm your

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: host Tatum Everett from the Vikings Entertainment Network, and it's

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: Week fourteen. The Vikings returned to US Bank Stadium against

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders, looking to snap before game skid. Both

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: teams come in needing that victory. Minnesota is four and

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: eight after a brutal twenty six to zero shutout in

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: Seattle and Washington's writing a seven game losing streak that

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: includes back to back overtime heartbreakers. Now Vegas has this

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: one as a near pickum, with the Commander slightly favored

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: and the total hovering around forty one and a half points,

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: So don't expect too many fireworks, but do expect a

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: gritty battle between two teams fighting for pride. Head coach

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell checked in on Friday and his final presser

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: before the game and had this to say.

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: All Right, proud of our team with the work of

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: practice we had this week, had three really good days

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: and guys are excited to play at US Bank Stadium.

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: We got to play better than we have at home.

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: We know that's a huge part of it, our fan

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: base being bringing the energy, and we got to give

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: him a reason to bring the energy. And and I

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: know our our team and and the type of work

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: work week that we've had. I feel really good about

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: our guys playing well this Sunday, you know, against a

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: really well coached, really talented football team, so it should

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: be a very good football game.

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: I want to highlight CJ.

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: Ham, you know, told the team a few days ago,

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: but just winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: voted by his teammates, not a surprise at all. Everything

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: about c. J. Ham is uh. Is what really makes

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: my job so special. Getting the coach, players like him,

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: getting to be around players like him, players like him,

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: making me better on.

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: And off the field. It is uh. You know.

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: I can't say enough good things about what he means,

38
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: what he's meant to the community, both him and his

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: wife's staph. What they've done in the Twin Cities here

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: and beyond is one of one in my opinion, So

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: very thankful that we get to recognize c JM what

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: he means to our team, organization and community as well.

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: Game status updates, THEO Jackson and Levi Drake will be

44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: out this week. We'll have three players with the questionable

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: tag Ty Chandler, who's you know, we just opened up

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: his window this week, and then Donovan Jackson and Christian

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: darrisaw both guys, both CD and Donovan got some great

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: work in today. See how they turn over over the

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: next twenty four hours and hopefully have both those guys

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: for the game.

51
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 4: Kevin, with the news of Jade and Daniels playing, what

52
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 4: do you remember about the time you spent around him

53
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 4: in the draft process.

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jaden is you know, as as talented as they come.

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: We saw it on display last year.

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: You know obviously when he you know, had the year

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: he had, he's had, you know, that same impact when

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: he's been on the field. So we've kind of went

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: about it all week like we're going to see him,

60
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: knowing not only Jayden, but how Marcus has played as well. So, uh,

61
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: you know, their offense doesn't change a whole lot schematically,

62
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: but obviously Jayden Daniels is one of the best young

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: players in the NFL, and uh, you know, glad he's

64
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: able to you know, recover from that injury and and

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: get a chance to compete. But we got to be

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: ready to play a good defense, which we've been playing lately.

67
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Proud of that group, and we've got to have a

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: complimentary game with the other two phases as well to

69
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: win this one's good.

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: Our most Washington coming out for the most.

71
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: I just think, uh, the you know, I I had

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: done quite a bit excuse me, quite a bit of

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: work on him the previous year and then uh, you know,

74
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: which there was a lot to like on that tape,

75
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: and then you take a step forward with what he did,

76
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: uh in in his final year at LSU. The growth

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: from one year to the other was was phenomenal. And

78
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: that's saying something because he was a really good player

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: of the previous year. I had, you know, the ability

80
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: just through some connections at the you know, even he

81
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: was at Arizona State, I knew about him, kind of

82
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: always known about him, and then just watching his growth

83
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: throughout his college journey. I was not shocked at all

84
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: with either where he was selected and ultimately the type

85
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: of rookie year he had. I think he's you know,

86
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: above the neck, smart, cerebral, totally in complete poise. It

87
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: seems like every snap, regardless of whether it's a playoff game.

88
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: Last year or his first start going back to the

89
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: beginning of last year, and so I'm expecting, even though

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: he's been been recovering here for a few weeks, I'm

91
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: expecting that same guy on Sunday US Bank Stadium, which

92
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: means you know they're going to be at full capacity

93
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: and we got to be ready to play well, not

94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: only on defense, but in all three phases.

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: For the second straight season, full back CJ. Hamm was

96
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: named the Vikings Walter Payton Manned the Year club winner.

97
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: It's truly one of the most unique NFL journeys, from

98
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: being a rookie tryout to practice squad, to starter and

99
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: captain and now he's about to finish out his tenth

100
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: year in the league. I had the chance to sit

101
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: down with him this week as he reflects on this

102
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: incredible honor, which recognizes his philanthropic efforts. Well, CJ, I

103
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you this, but you're coming up

104
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: on a decade mark. When you hear that, what goes

105
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: through your mind?

106
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm getting old, aren't we all? But not.

107
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: Secondly, it's just really just gratitude. I'm just thankful that

108
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 5: I've been able to do what I love for ten

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 5: seasons and in my home state where I grew up

110
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 5: watching this team and being close to the family and friends,

111
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 5: like truly a lot of gratitude.

112
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: The fact that your home state team is not only

113
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: the only team that you've been on, I mean, that

114
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: has to be so big for you. How could you

115
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: put that into words?

116
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: It's it's it's really hard to put in the words.

117
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, just grateful, humble. It's a

118
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 5: it's a story that I that I would have ever

119
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 5: thought of that I can't write. You know, I believe

120
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 5: it's truly a lesson from God that I've been able

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 5: to be here as long as I have and share

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 5: these moments with my family and friends. So it's a

123
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 5: story that I can't even write. And you know, I'm

124
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: just continuing to you know, walk walk in the store.

125
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: And for the second straight season, you are the Walter

126
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Payton Man of the Year club winner, voted on by

127
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: your teammates. What about that? Do you hope people see

128
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: not the recognition but the work.

129
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 5: I mean, first off, it's I can't I still can't

130
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: put in the words. I couldn't put in the words

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: last year, and I really still can't put it in

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 5: the words like how much, how much this means to

133
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 5: me and my family, Like there's so many guys on

134
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 5: our team who do so many great things, so many

135
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 5: guys around the league who are changing lives all over

136
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 5: the world, and to be put into that small group

137
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 5: of people for my teammates to see see what I've

138
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,360

00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 5: people and love people and know people, and it means

141
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 5: it means the absolute world to me.

142
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: Your teammates say, that's who you are, and though where

143
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: does that come from?

144
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 5: And it comes from I would definitely say my parents,

145
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 5: you know, my dad and my and my late mother.

146
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: I think I said this last year as well, but

147
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 5: just people who truly just loved everyone.

148
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: You know.

149
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 5: I don't know how many different family members I would

150
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 5: have moved from Chicago to come, you know, live with

151
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: us in Minnesota. You know, my mom was always taking

152
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 5: their kids, you know, making sure people had something to eat,

153
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: you know, clothes on their back. And so they just

154
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: taught me to live for something bigger than.

155
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Myself, blessing, to be a blessing, something that your mom,

156
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: Tina taught you to live by. What do you think

157
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: she would say to you about winning this award for

158
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: the second straight year.

159
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 5: I think she would be proud, but I really think

160
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 5: she would just say, keep you know, keep on, keep on,

161
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 5: keeping off. You know, this is this is this is

162
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 5: what she has taught me, you know, through through our faith,

163
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: through you know, what she believes is that we are

164
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 5: blessed to be a blessing. There's always something that anyone

165
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 5: has in the world to give to somebody, to somebody else.

166
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 5: You know, even our successes, our failures, they are all

167
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 5: to help somebody else. So you know, take it that

168
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: way and just continue to continue to be a blessing other.

169
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: After missing last week's game in Seattle while in concussion protocol,

170
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: quarterback JJ McCarthy's cleared all steps and returned as a

171
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: full participant in practice this week. Head coach Kevin O'Connell

172
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: confirmed he's symptom free and on track to start Sunday

173
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: against Washington. This is a big moment for the second

174
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: year QB, who's endured a roller coaster season six starts,

175
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: six touchdowns, ten interceptions, and two separate injuries that have

176
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: kept him off the field. He spoke to the media

177
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: on Thursday about his outlook for Sunday and battling through adversity.

178
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 4: A lot of the mentality has changed, for sure. You know,

179
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: I was just so focused on doing every rep perfect

180
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 4: and making sure, you know, every little detail was crossed

181
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: and checked off. And you know, I feel like coach

182
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 4: O'Connell and coach McCown them talking to me about Hey, like,

183
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: let's worry about that stuff in the offseason. Go out there,

184
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: play your ball, just you know, execute the play at

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 4: the end of the day. And you know that just

186
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: frees up a lot of space mentally to be in

187
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 4: sinctual react and you know, respond to what the defense

188
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: has given me. And uh yeah, very excited to play.

189
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: Thinking is that you're seeing sometimes? Is that what happens?

190
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: I'm definitely a natural overthinker, so you know the way,

191
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: and it's not against them. I need to do a

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 4: better job of compartmentalizing those coaching points and realizing when

193
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 4: it's game time, it's time to let.

194
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: It loose and I'll focus on that.

195
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 6: What's justin Jefferson been like with you this week in

196
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 6: the last couple of weeks.

197
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 4: Now, I can't say enough about you know him and

198
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: the entire team in general, but specifically him. You know,

199
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 4: you see so many receivers around the league just kind

200
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 4: of be a me guy, and he's not a me guy. Obviously,

201
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: it's frustrating, obviously he's the greatest in the world and

202
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: going through tough times. But the way he's responded, the

203
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: way he's acted towards me, and just how he wears

204
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 4: that seat on his chest, it's something amazing and that

205
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 4: just you know, amplifies.

206
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 3: His ability as a player for sure.

207
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 6: For sure, what extent do you think you need to

208
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 6: show these guys that you know or prove anything to

209
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 6: these guys as they kind of go into the offseason

210
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 6: and make decisions about next year.

211
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 3: Over these last five games, I feel like.

212
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 4: The number one quality for a quarterback, for a franchise

213
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 4: quarterback is you know, protecting the football and making sure

214
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: we win football games. So that's what it comes down to,

215
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: you know, just trying to simplify things and understand that

216
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: it's about executing players, but it's also about the main

217
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: thing winning games, and doing that is protecting football.

218
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: For surely like a liberating aspect of its coaching.

219
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 4: Someday where it's just like you'll do what I've done

220
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 4: in my post for sure. Yeah, And it's not like

221
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 4: I'm totally disregarding all the coaching points and all that

222
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: and definitely not. But it's just you know, picking and

223
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: choosing which ones you carry into you into game day

224
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: with and you know what's going to be the most

225
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: effective way of completing that play.

226
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: When the new.

227
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 7: Coach, how long does that typically take them to learn

228
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 7: about you that you are and over thinker in the

229
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 7: right ways to kind of coach you and say things

230
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 7: that are going to help you.

231
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough because I feel like, you know, my

232
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: fiance and I we've been together for seven years and

233
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: we're still learning things about each other. And uh, you know,

234
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 4: it's just amazing to you know, be with such an

235
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: open minded group, such an empathetic group that's always trying

236
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: to get, you know, the best out of what you

237
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: can bring to the table instead of trying to mold

238
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 4: you into.

239
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: What they want.

240
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 4: So, you know, I'm very appreciative and you know, grateful

241
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,360

Speaker 4: and you know, just execute, execute all eleven, you know

247
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: all three phases, and you know, specifically on the offensive side,

248
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,720

Speaker 1: the road against Minnesota wide receiver Justin Jefferson wants to

265
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: make sure it stays that way. Despite coming off a

266
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: career low four yard outing in Seattle, Jefferson leads the

267
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: team with sixty two catches for seven hundred and ninety

268
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: nine yards, yet he scored just two touchdowns all season.

269
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: He's been vocal about wanting to win, and head coach

270
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell and really every player on the team maintains

271
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: Jefferson's energy and leadership remain intact despite the struggles. He

272
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: spoke this week about this frustrating time and how they

273
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: plan on turning the page Sunday.

274
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 8: I mean it's tough, you know, obviously, it's frustrating to

275
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 8: have the losses and to go through what we feel

276
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 8: is the same same, you know, difficulties that we're we're facing.

277
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 8: So I mean, it's just the energy has still got

278
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 8: to be there. Uh, the focus still got to be there.

279
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 8: You know, all of those things that we've been doing

280
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 8: the whole entire season still has to be there.

281
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: You know, the season isn't over.

282
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 8: The you know, we we still have five games left

283
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 8: and I will never you know, sit there and give

284
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 8: up on this team and just quit, So, uh, the

285
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 8: preparation still has to be the same throughout the entire season.

286
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: I didn't get a chance to talk to Sunday.

287
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: Just where was your head up coming out of that one?

288
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, just frustrating on the on the game out with

289
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 8: zero points is never something that I'm satisfied with. We lost,

290
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 8: you know, and obviously I just feel like it's the

291
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 8: same thing.

292
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna be.

293
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 8: Sitting there telling y'all guys the same exact you know

294
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 8: thing that that I've said for the past couple of weeks. Uh,

295
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 8: you know, the offense needs to get better, and you know,

296
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 8: we need to focus up and execute and all of

297
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 8: the things that we've been saying the whole season. So

298

00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 8: high after the game.

00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 4: Said yesterday that he feels like your vocal leadership has

303
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: really taken some improvement in the past few seasons.

304
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 9: Like what have you found is the value in that

305
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 9: side of leadership in addition to like leading my action?

307
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 8: doing what I have done. I feel like a lot

308
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 8: of people look at me as you know, one of

309
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 8: the faces of this franchise and one of the you know,

310

Speaker 8: vocal and you know, telling the guys what's on my

313
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 8: mind and telling the guys what I.

314
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 3: Expect from from the offense, from the.

315
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 8: Team, it goes even longer than you know, just you know,

316
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 8: staying quiet and just doing what I'm supposed to do.

317
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 8: So it's just, you know, a long time coming from

318
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 8: you know, being a shy kid into now turning around

319
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 8: being a vocal leader and being one of the faces

320
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 8: of this of this team.

321
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: Tight End TJ. Hockinson is coming off his best stat

322
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: line of the season. His six catch fifty nine yard

323
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: performance was one of the few bright spots against the Seahawks.

324
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: As a seven year NFL veteran, Hawkinson understands what it

325
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: takes to get through times of adversity. He spoke with

326
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: a podium on Wednesday about the team's commitment to improving

327
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: and how leaders have been stepping up this week to

328
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: write the ship.

329
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 4: How tough is it on a player to go from

330
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: where you guys were last year in a playoff position

331
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: to just trying to stay afloat this season.

332
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 7: I think that's the nature of the NFL. Every year

333
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 7: is different, every team is different. You know, every game

334
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 7: is different. You know, every everybody can beat anybody on

335
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 7: any given moment and any given Sunday. And I unfortunately

336
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 7: the ball hasn't bounced our way in a few games

337
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 7: that we've needed. And you know, but that's the nature

338
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 7: of this league. It will humble you fast, and you

339
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 7: know you gotta continue working. You've got to continue to

340
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 7: push on and move forward. But yeah, this this league

341
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 7: is is not for the weary. You know, you've gotta

342
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 7: you got to stay in it every single day. You've

343
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 7: you know, you can't. You can't get complacent in this league.

344
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 7: And you know it just.

345
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: You know it. It reminds you of that a lot.

346
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 6: So just when it comes to the you guys have

347
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 6: talked a lot about the culture that you guys have created,

348
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess how much do you lean on

349
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 6: that when things get as difficult as they are right now.

350
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 7: You have to lean on it. You got to lean

351
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 7: on these guys in the in the huddle. You got

352
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 7: to lean on these guys in the locker room. You know,

353
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 7: we we've got the ultimate group of competitors here and

354
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 7: and nobody likes what has happened. No, I mean, I'm

355
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 7: not gonna sit here and say it's been rosy or

356
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 7: anything like that. It's not fun to lose games in

357
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 7: this league. And but you know, we have built a

358
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 7: culture here that we think is the lasting culture. And

359
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 7: that's what we're going to continue to build and continue

360
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 7: to lean on when things get tough and and just

361
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 7: move forward.

362
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 3: And that's that's.

363
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 7: What we're doing. We came out here, we had a

364
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 7: great practice. Guys, we're flying around and you know, you

365
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 7: don't always see that on teams like this, where you

366
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 7: know you're not winning games. I've been on teams where

367
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 7: you don't win games and guys come out here and

368
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 7: they run half speed. But that's not this team, that's

369
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 7: not this culture. And and that's that's all we're That's

370
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 7: all we can control at the end of the day,

371
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 7: is how hard we work and how you know, how

372
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 7: you take your mental to practice every single day. Let's

373
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 7: it's all you can control.

374
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 4: Okay, when you talk about guys coming out here and

375
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 4: still giving it.

376
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 3: They're all not going after speed.

377
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 4: Is that something that is discussed by leadership or is

378
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 4: that dis inherent by the culture you can don't move.

379
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 7: I think that's a lot of the guys here, you know.

380
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 7: I mean, I think that's the locker room that we build.

381
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 7: I think obviously you preach it from from KO to

382
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 7: everybody the top like the top of our building. But

383
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 7: you know that that doesn't always trickle down to the players.

384
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: And that's the culture that you build.

385
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 7: Is Hey, it doesn't matter what what's going on outside

386
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 7: of here.

387
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 3: It matters what we do today and what we do

388
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: on this crash.

389
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 7: And it's a blessing to be able to be in

390
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 7: between these white lines every single day.

391
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: And you can't take that for granted. And you know.

392
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 7: We all have goals, we all have things that we

393
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 7: want to do, and it starts with.

394
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: A the culture that you build.

395
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 7: But then the hard work that you put in in

396
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 7: between these white lines.

397
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 3: I think that's what everybody's trying to do.

398
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 7: She'll see you guys out here working their craft and

399
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 7: doing everything no matter what's going on.

400
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: That defense has been stout despite the losing streak. Brian

401
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: Flores's group enters Week fourteen ranked tenth overall, fifth against

402
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: the pass, and eighteenth in scoring defense. Even while dealing

403
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: with short fields and constant pressure from turnovers, They've been aggressive,

404
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: blitz heavy, and resilient. The Commanders bring the NFL's third

405
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: ranked rushing attack, averaging nearly one hundred and thirty nine

406
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: yards per game, so this matchup will test Minnesota's run defense.

407
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: Expect names like Dallas Turner, who leaves the team with

408
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: five and a half sacks, and Jonathan Gernard, back from injury,

409
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: to play a huge role in setting the edge and

410
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: creating that chaos. Safety Josh Mattelis and veteran Harrison Smith

411
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: will be key in disguising coverages against Marcus Mariota or

412
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels if he returns. Speaking of Mattellus, he spoke

413
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: on Wednesday during open locker room about staying the course,

414
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: remembering the why behind playing the game.

415
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Every every week, you know, we're gonna do our part.

416
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 9: We're gonna control we can control, and that's given this

417
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 9: football football team a chance to win. We don't really,

418
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 9: you know, care too much of what's going on anywhere else.

419
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 9: You know, all we can control is what we put

420
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 9: out on tape, and that's been a mindset all year

421
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 9: and it's gonna be a mindset moving forward as well.

422
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 4: Last time, as if prepared maybe for two quarterbacks, they're

423
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 4: saying that Judi game.

424
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: As you guys may not be familiar with the team

425
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 3: of Marcus definitely two different quarterbacks. How do you kind

426
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: of spend your practice time between now and then getting

427
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: ready for maybe both?

428
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean when you look at the way their

429
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 9: team was built, they kind of knew, you know, Jayden

430
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 9: Daniels obviously the year he had rookie year and coming

431
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 9: into the off season bringing into Mariota, trying to like

432
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 9: have a guy in that the offense can still flow

433
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 9: the way it's supposed to flow. When Jayden isn't in there,

434
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 9: I mean, obviously you don't want anybody to get hurt,

435
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 9: and uh, he had an injury. So when Mariota's been there,

436
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 9: it's been pretty much the same offense. I'm obviously different

437
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 9: kind of players, different points in their careers, but it's

438
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 9: pretty much the same thing. We're gonna prepare the same

439
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 9: way regardless. You know, we play a specific kind of defense,

440
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 9: so we see a lot of the same things throughout

441
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 9: the week to week basis anyway, So I don't think

442
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 9: it's really that hard.

443
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: Things stand right now?

444
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 6: How much do you have to lean on pride and

445
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 6: professionalism to get out there and try to get their

446
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 6: weight on Sunday?

447
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 9: I mean I think, uh, when you just you just

448
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 9: talk about the reason we play and the why, man,

449
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 9: it's not hard. And you know you go out there

450
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 9: for reasons bigger than the money, the fame, the you know.

451
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 9: I can I can speak for myself, you know, I

452
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 9: can't speak for too many other people, but I know

453
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 9: we got a lot of the same guys through the

454
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 9: same mindset on this team, and uh, we're playing for

455
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 9: pride every week we go out there. You know, anytime

456
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 9: you get a chance to go out there with your

457
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 9: last name on your jersey, you're gonna play with some pride. So, uh,

458
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 9: you know that that's what we're banking on right now,

459
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 9: you know, for everybody to go out there and just

460
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 9: understand that, you know, we got one chance, one op,

461
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 9: you know, on this Sunday, and we'll just keep it

462
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 9: going week to week. He's football games, Yeah, you know,

463
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 9: the object is the game to win, and uh, nothing

464
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 9: feels good when you're not winning this league. So to

465
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 9: get back on this winning side, you know that. That's

466
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 9: all we're looking forward to this week.

467
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,600
