1
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Here comes the Minnesota Vikings postgame report, and I'm a

2
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: happy play by play voice Paul Allen, joined by a

3
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: happy analyst for the Vikings radio network, Pete Versage, And

4
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: we're happy because it's a high five for the Minnesota Vikings.

5
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: They've won five consecutive games. They beat the New Orleans

6
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Saints twenty seven to nineteen. And it was just different

7
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: today than the Atlanta game, which was different than the

8
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: Green Bay game in Chicago and San Francisco. You know,

9
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: these things are like snowflakes. No two are alike. Dobbs

10
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: goes for two sixty eight passing today, career high for him.

11
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: He threw a touchdown ty Chandler at his first rushing touchdown.

12
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Dobbs ran for another touchdown. TJ Hawkinson stole the show

13
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: and Makai Blackman got his first National Football League interception. However,

14
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: it still was a little bit of a grinder at

15
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: the end. Peter, how are you.

16
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: No, I'm great. I mean, who would have thought that

17
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: Greg joseph thirty three yard field goal made with ten

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: thirteen to go in the third quarter would have been

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: the game? You know, it would have been a huge

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: difference maker. And you know I did what really wasn't

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: the game, but such a one sided affair. It's it's

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: pretty amazing when you put up nearly three hundred yards

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: of offense in one half of a football game and

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: then you have to come out in the second half

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: and just you know, not necessarily you know, manage things,

26
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: but just that's where a good running game will kind

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: of settle you down. And the offense, you know, they

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: they knew that the only thing that could really ruin

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: them is by turn you know, having turnovers so you

30
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: get less risky, and then you know, then you kind

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: of lose momentum and the next thing, you know, the

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: timing is off, and so yeah, it's disappointing to see

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: the offense sputter like it did in the second half,

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: but the defense it comes up again. They end up

35
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: with three turnovers I believe today, Yes, turns.

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Against a team that was plus eight and the take

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: g third best in the NFL.

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: That's a huge that's a huge, huge thing. So defensively,

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: you know, you did a great job against Derek Carr.

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: James Winston came in, made a couple of things happen,

41
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: but overall, going into this game without kJ Osborne again

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: without Justin Jefferson. Yeah, I mean you're missing some of

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: your big pieces on offense, and you know, you know

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: you're missing you're missing Hicks for a while. I mean,

45
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: it's it's that time of year, man, and the Saints

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: were beat up as well, but we're able to get

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: through it and get the win. I got three quick,

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: sneaky ones for you. Then we'll hear from Koc First

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: and foremost penalties are lack thereof. In the game against

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons, the Falcons ended up with eleven penalties,

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: the Vikings had just one. Here the Saints nine penalty

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: seventy four yards, just five against the Vikings for thirty

53
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: five yards. They've been better from a discipline stamp point

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: lacking those penalties, right, no question about it. And that's

55
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: been kind of the big thing for us in you know,

56
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: in the red zone. We're twenty second in the league

57
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: going into this game in red zone and a lot

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: of those penalties is the timeliness of those penalties as well.

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, they're doing a much better job, Paul, you know,

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: of eliminating the penalties. And you know, a couple drive

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: they still killed a couple of drives, so something you

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: had to get better at doing, you know, better in

63
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: eliminating those things. But man, there was nothing stopping this

64
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: offense in one half, and we had no idea what

65
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: to expect, right, You have no idea what to expect

66
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: with graves in a one week of practice. So can

67
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: we carry this momentum? You know it's gonna be outdoors

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: in the cold against Denver. We'll see what happens. But

69
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: you've got to be excited about where this Vikings team

70
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: is right now.

71
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: And another sneaky positive during this winning streak the Vikings

72
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: winning the time of possession, which was a major problem

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: the first part of the season. Like we'd have games

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: which twenty three to twenty four minutes were holding the ball.

75
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: The Vikings had a thirty three minutes and six seconds

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: compared to twenty six fifty four for New Orleans. The

77
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Vikings have been averaging about thirty two minutes of possession

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: time during this winning streak. They did it again today

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: and finally on third down. The Vikings during this winning

80
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: streak fifty three percent on third down, converting them for

81
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: the offense. Today they went today they finished six to fifteen,

82
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, which is not fifty three percent, but it's

83
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: still a pretty good number. And that's another sneaky key.

84
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: Oh, you're right, and you know, I think the other

85
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: thing that I love is the fact that we sat

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: and talked about this before the game. But knowing who

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: the Saints are right there, they're a grabby type of

88
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: a defense, yeah, and we were able to push them

89
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: and pull some of those penalties out of them. We

90
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: also knew that the middle of the field was going

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: to be an advantage with Hockinson. We absolutely saw that today.

92
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: Eleven receptions, one hundred and thirty four yards and a

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: touchdown that you know, the touchdown right before halftime. How

94
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: big is that now in hindsight?

95
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: I wow? So you.

96
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: I guess the thing is is the variability that we

97
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: expected isn't right there. Dobbs did some absolutely magical things

98
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: with his feet today and he you know, having the

99
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: and I talked to Scott Stugwell halftime, it's like, you know,

100
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: you blitz, you get after that quarterback, You almost get

101
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: to him, and then you got to chase him all

102
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: the way to the sideline for you know, you're running

103
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: fifty sixty yards for a three yard game that wears

104
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: out a defense. Yeah, but it was interesting to see

105
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: the Saints and the adjustments that they made and you know,

106
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: rushing three and then having a spy, so they made

107
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: adjustments along the way as well. So we're gonna have

108
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: to get a step ahead of that and figure out

109
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: what the Vikings are going to do to combat that.

110
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: It's five in a row, four KO, five in a row,

111
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: four KO. The Minnesota Vikings improved a six and four

112
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: and speaking to KOH, here's Kevin O'Connell with his postgame presser.

113
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: I'm excited for our team come back and get another

114
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: win at US Bank Stadium was our goal coming off

115
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: of our last performance and what the crowd was like

116
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: a few weeks back, and then to have them show

117
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: up again today. Thought the crowd was phenomenal to juice

118
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: the energy and it really fueled and and really got

119
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: us going, especially in that first half. Complimentary effort all

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: the way around. In the first half. I would have

121
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: liked to, you know, maybe have the chance to put

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: the football again, football game away. You know, got a

123
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: touchdown pulled off the board there on a short yardage situation.

124
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: But good defense over there, some really good skilled players

125
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: and you know offensively. They've been doing some doing some

126
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: good things. So it was going to take a complete

127
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: team effort, sixty minutes of football, and we got it done.

128
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: So excited for that group locker rooms, you know, feeling

129
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: very strongly about you know, where we're at as a

130
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: football team right now, but also total awareness that it's

131
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: back to work and a continued emphasis on improving. I

132
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 3: want to give you guys an update. Jordan Hicks, you know,

133
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 3: a lower leg kind of contusion and he did not return.

134
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: Once he came back in the game for a few plays,

135
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 3: did not return. We'll see how that swelling looks and

136
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: if we can get that to go down. Caleb Evans

137
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: did not return with a calf and then Alex Madison

138
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: did not return with a concussion sustained there. But uh,

139
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of guys stepped up. You didn't have,

140
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: kJ didn't have, you know, some some guys that we've

141
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: been without for a few weeks. And that next man

142
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: upront mentality continues to flourish with guys ready to step

143
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: on the grass and and go do their jobs to

144
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: help us win football games. I thought TJ. Hockinson was,

145
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: you know, as good as I've ever seen him when

146
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: we absolutely needed him the most, just like he was

147
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: last week. Uh, you know, can't can't say enough about TJ.

148
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: And then of course Josh, you know, having fun coaching

149
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: him right now just because you know, there's a lot

150
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: that goes into it. But then when we when we

151
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: get to play football, he goes out there and he

152
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: looks like he's enjoying himself. I know his teammates are

153
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: enjoying watching him continue to get acclimated to our team,

154
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: and just really proud of Josh. And Josh knows us

155
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: he's ready to get back to work and continue the

156
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: momentum on this thing. This was a shutout, but you

157
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: didn't turn the ball over. Yeah, that's you know, knowing

158
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: kind of historically it's always a win, a win or

159
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: lose type stat We learned that lesson quite honestly early

160
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: on in the year. When I talk about our team

161
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: and how we're built from substance, Uh, there's some there's

162
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: some football things in there now too, as far as

163
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: what we've learned, you know, how we need to play,

164
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: technique and fundamentals of how we carry the football, decision making,

165
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 3: timing accuracy, and then the defense's ability to continue helping

166
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: us win the turnover battle by making some critical plays,

167
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: especially in the second half when you know we were

168
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: we scuffled a few drives there and and it's totally

169
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: on me. Got to give our guys a better opportunity

170
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: to move the ball offensively. But that's where the complimentary

171
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 3: phasing comes in. I had guys coming up to me

172
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: on the sidelines. We got your coach, Hey, next snap

173
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: is going to be the best snap. Even when we

174
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 3: got the touchdown taking off the board offensively, the expectation

175
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: was that we could still convert, had a chance on

176
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: that third and eleven. But uh, you know, compliments to

177
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: our football team, our leadership, and just the way these

178
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: guys now believe in the man next to him and

179
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: they believe in each other. To go continue to improve.

180
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: There's still a long way to go. We got to

181
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: continue to get a lot better. I've got to continue

182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: to you know, coach better and get our staff, which

183
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 3: I thought our staff did a hell of a job today,

184
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: especially you know, flowing his guys again. You know that's

185
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: a that's a talented outfit over there. I do hope

186
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: that you know, Derek Carr's okay, got a lot of

187
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: respect for Derek and and everything he's done in this league.

188
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: But when Jameis Winston comes in the game and you

189
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: know how physically talented he is for our defense to

190
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: keep them out and let us, you know, hold on

191
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: to that victory. I was really proud of that. Those

192
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: guys you said, you have a fine coaching, Josh, do

193
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: give yourself a second on the field during the game

194
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: to enjoy it or is it no during the week

195
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: kind of thing?

196
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: That?

197
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just looking back on the week

198
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: Kevin off of this week's game and then knowing, you know,

199
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 3: the time spent with Josh and and just watching him

200
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: with our coaches, watching him with our offense. I thought

201
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: he had a fantastic week of practice. Really, when you

202
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 3: know Thursday and Friday, uh, you know, you would have

203
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: thought he had been in our offense for a lot

204
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: longer than just the previous five you know days leading

205
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 3: into last week's game. He attacked the game plan, how

206
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: we prepare our guys, how we teach them about you know,

207
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: coverages and fronts and pressures and what we're trying to attack.

208
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: And he handled a full game plan today and it

209
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: was Josh Dobbs out there playing quarterback, and we saw

210
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: it again today. Game changing plays with his athleticism were

211
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: really a defining thing to kind of fill in some

212
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 3: of the gaps for us offensively in the first half.

213
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: And I just can't say enough about, you know, his

214
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: last two performances. To be two and oho with with

215
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: him and with so much room for us all to improve,

216
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: It's what I'm excited about the most.

217
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 4: Through a couple of injuries there, did did you have

218
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 4: to you find yourself how to manage his workload all

219
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 4: the day?

220
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: Was? Yeah, yeah. We we tried to get you know,

221
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: on some of those early down calls. We tried to

222
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: get Johnny in there a little bit more, use Josh

223
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: in some of the eleven groupings a little more, and

224
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: then you know, mixing and match in personnel, making sure,

225
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 3: you know, I give Brian Angelicu a lot of credit

226
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: because I'm you know, just howling into the headset a

227
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: bunch of gibberish. But I want the right guys on

228
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: the field and make sure we're managing TJ so he

229
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: can make some of those huge plays in the past game.

230
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: But TJ wanted to be out there for everything, and

231
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: you know, he was out there, made some had some big,

232
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 3: big blocks in the run game and just all the

233
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: way around. TJ was phenomenal today, and we had to

234
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: change things up and dig a little creatively with the

235
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: coaching staff to make sure that the players put out

236
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: there are successful. Yeah, absolutely, especially against a you know

237
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: that's another top you know, top ten defense. They've always

238
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: been tough, physical, hard to you know, they're going to

239
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: force some negative plays and we were trying to avoid those,

240
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: knowing that we can then you know, get into the

241
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: different phases of our offense to try to uh, you know,

242
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: it's one thing to try to marry it, but there's

243
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: other things, especially with you know, Josh's athleticism and kind

244
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: of an inside out passing game. Still wanting to get

245
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: Jordan and Speedy and Brandon Powell going as well. You know,

246
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 3: the screen game. There's a lot that goes into it.

247
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: But the creativity I give our guys, you know, I

248
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: love the love the design we had on on the

249
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: uh you know, Tdy Chandler's touchdown there, even on both

250
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: of them, even the one that got called back, situational

251
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 3: calls there. And then we'll continue to build on our

252
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: inventory because I think our personnel give us the opportunity

253
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: to do that, to to try to give ourselves advantages,

254
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: buy back some numbers and angles and things like that.

255
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: But back to work and we'll keep on trying to

256
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: improve on that stuff the loss of each great player

257
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: and just continue to get win. Yeah, I think it's

258
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: putting together plans to try to maximize the guys we

259
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: do have up for us, you know, guys like TJ

260
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: and Jordan, Alex and Tie, but then continuing to ask,

261
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 3: you know, guys that have stepped up already, like a

262
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: Brandon Powell great to get speedy back in there today,

263
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: which which I was really proud of the way he

264
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: went out there, and he might have not always got

265
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 3: the ball, but you know, I know he was separating

266
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: and bursting and playing fast and that's gonna be a great,

267
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 3: great addition back into our offense, you know. But it's

268
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: it's truly about, you know, how well can we execute

269
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: the scheme what we're trying to get accomplished. Can we

270
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: give our guys that premiere, premier mindset regardless of who's

271
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: in the game, And then the expectation is if it

272
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: is a one on one, go win pitch and catch,

273
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: you know, progress in rhythm. I thought Josh did a

274
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: really nice job in this game, especially in the first

275
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 3: half of really trusting that protection O line gave him

276
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 3: time and he exhausted some progressions and then still used

277
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: his legs. That's really hard on the defense, and you

278
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: saw them kind of respond a little bit, spying them

279
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: a little more, doing a little bit more of that

280
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: in the second half. And that's when, you know, it

281
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: gets exciting to think about when we do get a

282
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: justin Jefferson and kJ and and our full group back,

283
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 3: you know, defenses, having to account for his ability to

284
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: activate his legs will only help other things we want

285
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: to do. Go ahead, Dave, sorry, how is that running ability?

286
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: Like change the play calling for you just change the offense? Yeah,

287
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: I think it just you know, it allows me to

288
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: you know, be aggressive, knowing that if we get the

289
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: premier look I'm hunting or looking for some scouted looks

290
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: that you know, have a lot of confidence there. But

291
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: also his decision making and and then knowing kind of

292
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: the perfect balance. I mean when he found TJ off schedule, uh,

293
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: you know, drop eight to Tampa and he's you know

294
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: working it, knowing he's got time, you know, a veteran

295
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: kind of feel of a three man rush, still buying

296
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: some time getting out and keeping his eyes up. I mean,

297
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: those are all really exciting things that that Josh did today.

298
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: And then there were still some uh you know, dynamic

299
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: throws from the pocket in rhythm play passes, third down.

300
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: I thought the third and long conversion in the second

301
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: half was was a nice one, kind of feeling the

302
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: zones and being aggressive right there to BP over the ball.

303
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: You know, So there was just there's a lot to

304
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: build off of. There's, like I said, there's a lot

305
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: of things that all continue to improve on to try

306
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 3: to help Josh and the rest of our offense. But

307
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: really encouraging kind of two performances in a row that

308
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: we can operate with that group of guys on the

309
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: field and continue to move the ball against a really

310
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: good defense.

311
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: More impressed by the fact that he's what are you

312
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 5: able to do last week with all the snow time

313
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 5: the offense or what he did this week against a

314
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 5: good defense to prepare.

315
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: For Yeah, I think last week was you know, I

316
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: can't you know, emphasize enough what the circumstances were for

317
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: him in our offense last week. But what I think

318
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 3: was really special this week is even coming off of

319
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: that performance, his work, how he prepared, you know, he

320
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: was you know, essentially living at the facility and going

321
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: through his normal process while also allowing us to kind

322
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: of show him how we do things, how we try

323
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: to you know, enhance his ability to play fast while

324
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: also giving him really good plays that he can be

325
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: responsible for getting to one versus the other at the line,

326
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: still using tempo, communic communicating the way he is. So

327
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 3: I thought it was it was pretty pretty outstanding day

328
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: from Josh and and the best thing about it is

329
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: we're all still getting to know each other and getting

330
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: the comfort level to where we can continue to apply

331
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: layers to this thing to try to be the most

332
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: successful we can be on offense in the.

333
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: Direction snap, When did you guys put that in? And

334
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: what made that the moment to call there at the goaling?

335
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we put that in. You know, we put it

336
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: in this week. We've had a couple of things kind

337
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: of similar thoughts up at other times, but you know,

338
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 3: we just wanted to try to, you know, find some

339
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 3: different unique ways against a really really good front that

340
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: it's hard to just get big with him and think

341
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: you're just gonna running the ball down there. Not very

342
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: many people have, so we wanted to try to see

343
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: different ways we can try to get numbers at the

344
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: point still still having still have a chance to you know,

345
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: punch it in, but also give ourselves an advantage of

346
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 3: making them react on the fly. And I thought our

347
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: guys executed it. You know, as soon as I saw

348
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: a big CD out there with really one guy left,

349
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 3: thought we were in good shape.

350
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 5: Kevin, how big is DJ want up been for you

351
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 5: guys these last few weeks?

352
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? Huge. I mean there was a sequence there where

353
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: he individually kind of wrecked the game with a sack

354
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: and you know, tripping up I think he tripped up

355
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 3: Derek on a scramble that got them off the field.

356
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: DJ's been really it's been as consistent as any player

357
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 3: on our football team this year, and Daniel has been

358
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 3: outstanding for us, but I think DJ has really fed

359
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: off that as well. We asked him to do a

360
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: lot of different jobs that maybe don't jump out at

361
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: people as far as you know, impactful, but he's making

362
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 3: an impact on every snap and he just keeps doing

363
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: it week after week, you know, I gave him a

364
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: game ball on there, and and you know, he's one

365
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: of those guys that you know, I've said this before,

366
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 3: but the guys in that locker room know, they know,

367
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 3: the coaching staff and his teammates know, and they went

368
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: crazy for him, you know, knowing that DJ is one

369
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 3: of those guys that maybe doesn't get all the headlines,

370
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: but all he does is show up every Sunday play

371
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: winning football.

372
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 6: A big lead like that in the second half, how

373
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 6: difficult can it be to kind of find that balance

374
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 6: between wanting to run the ball and move the clock,

375
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 6: but also, yeah, not wanting to take your foot up

376
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 6: the guys.

377
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it comes down to, you know, knowing

378
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: the fact that you want to be aggressive, but you

379
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: also want to walk out of the stadium still win.

380
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: In the turnover battle, and one of the ways I

381
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: was that confident in our defense that if we didn't

382
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 3: give them anything and we played you know, smart with

383
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: the clock, that we could get it down to a

384
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: situation where maybe we can get a third and one

385
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: and get a touchdown on that play we did, and

386
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 3: that would take us to thirty four and then you know,

387
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: it gets pulled back and we don't convert and we

388
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 3: end up punting and trying to pin them deep there.

389
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: But you know, I've got to try to find that

390
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: balance where I do believe in our guys. I do

391
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 3: believe that I can stay aggressive for four quarters with

392
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: our guys, and and I'll continue to work through that

393
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 3: to make sure I'm giving them some premium ops. We

394
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: had some chances there that maybe we didn't make the play,

395
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: but there were certainly a few that I'd like to

396
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: have back. And knowing that situational management and milking the

397
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: clock is one thing, but staying aggressive is something we've

398
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: got to do as well.

399
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 5: When Josh Dellsway does spins around and scores and you're

400
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 5: turning and looking up at the crowd, like what's going

401
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 5: through your Yeah.

402
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of times, you know, I like

403
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: to fist pump with the best of them, but that

404
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: was one where I was kind of just wow, you

405
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 3: know they I was gonna tip my hat to the Saints.

406
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: They you know, ran his own coverage there on third down.

407
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: They got a little pressure in there on them, had

408
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 3: a couple of chances here and there. But when a

409
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: guy makes a play like that, it's exciting It's exciting

410
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: because you know that he just overcame a lot with

411
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 3: an individual effort right there to finish it for six points. Huge,

412
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 3: huge momentum play by him. And that's one of the

413
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: reasons why, you know, listen, Josh Jobs didn't just start

414
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: doing those things. That's been a part of his game

415
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: since he's been an NFL quarterback and before that. Our

416
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 3: job is can continue to allow him to play the

417
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 3: position the way he thrives playing it while continuing to

418
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: do our jobs, which we feel pretty good about schematically

419
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: helping him as well. But like I said, we'll continue

420
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 3: to build on it. I'm proud of Josh and we'll

421
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 3: get right back to work tomorrow.

422
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: I get act you as a play caller when you

423
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 4: have a quarterback now that can.

424
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 7: Do those things and adds that element to the offense.

425
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 3: With n made und yeah, I mean, you guys know,

426
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: we've seen a lot of shell coverage, even even with

427
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: you know, Justin and some of our guys out, we've

428
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 3: seen a lot of you know, coverage where people are saying, hey,

429
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 3: we're just gonna rush four, potentially even drop eight and

430
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 3: rush three. Uh and and you know he made he

431
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: you know made some big plays today against some of

432
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: those looks. Can we get more man coverage? Can we

433
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: be effective executing against man coverage?

434
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 7: To it?

435
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 3: I mean, this team, I believe led the league and

436
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 3: interceptions coming in and they're very, very good corner spots,

437
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 3: the safeties are are really good, and they have two

438
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: of the best inside linebackers in football. So when you

439
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: look at their you know, and I didn't even say

440
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: anything about a front that I think with ninety four

441
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: and that group, it's a challenge at every level of

442
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 3: their defense. So as a play caller, you know, you

443
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 3: can start to feel like, hey, I can call anything

444
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 3: on this call sheet, But then you know, I want

445
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 3: to be smart. I want to be making sure that

446
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 3: the calls reflect, you know, my intentions of trying to

447
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: attack certain looks. And then when Josh makes a play,

448
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: it's it's a huge, huge bonus. And what I love

449
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 3: is just you know how all of our guys, you know,

450
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: are finishing those plays. You see when he finds TJ

451
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: on that scramble, who'd you see down there barreling through

452
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 3: the pile? Probably Dalton Reisner if I if my memory

453
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: serves me right. So our guys are you know, they

454
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 3: understand now it's whistle to whistle, and we might be

455
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: playing through the echo of it a little bit more

456
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 3: on unique things that maybe we didn't before when we

457
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 3: were you know, you know, not that we didn't have

458
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: mobility at the position, but I mean Kirk was playing

459
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: as well as anybody in this league, you know, really

460
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: ripping apart coverage and attacking things and kind of running everything.

461
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: Josh in two starts has kind of shown us what

462
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: mobile you know, in addition to what we do offensively,

463
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: can do for us in this tough time where we're

464
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: trying to overcome the loss of a guy like Kirk.

465
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: Ye Ken, we start ohing three.

466
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: You lose Jefferson, Do you lose cousins?

467
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 7: You've been in the locker room where things look like

468
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 7: they were the sky was falling.

469
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: How are you guys in this position right now? Yeah,

470
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: this guy was never falling. To those guys in that

471
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: locker room, I can remember vividly standing in front of them,

472
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: you know, the Monday after we did go zero to three,

473
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: and I can remember the message was I felt, you know,

474
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: all of us together included working forward to accomplish something special.

475
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 3: Was one of the greatest opportunities we would have professionally.

476
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: You know, adversity truly if you look at it as

477
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: an opportunity and you have your football team all looking

478
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 3: inward and trying to be the best versions of themselves

479
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: for that greater good of trying to accomplish something special.

480
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: I am of the belief that we can continue to

481
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 3: go out and write our own story. And we're holding

482
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 3: the pen. There's a lot of challenges out in front

483
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: of us. We've got a laser our focus, like we've

484
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 3: done each opportunity, each day, each meeting, each walk through,

485
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 3: each practice, and when you do it the way these

486
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: guys have, and we've got the leadership that we do,

487
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 3: my expectation is things will continue to be you know

488
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: what we've been.

489
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, like Pete said earlier Sunday night football at

490
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: Denver next week now, Alexander Madison left the game with

491
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: an injury. At Caleb Evans had a calf injury and

492
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: he left the game too. Came into it without kJ

493
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: Osborne and and Justin Jefferson. So you know, the Vikings

494
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: still don't have a buye until after the Monday night

495
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,520

00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: this late season by Wow.

497
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about that. So you know, justin Jefferson,

498
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: you also have Marcus Davenport. Wow, it scheduled to come

499
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: back at some time. I don't know if it's going

500
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: to be this week, not on December with him. So

501
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 2: it's uh, yeah, you've got you've got to make it

502
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: to the bye and then you you know, take a

503
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 2: little bit of time off and like I said, we

504
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 2: can get a couple of these weapons back. It's gonna

505
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: be interesting to see. It's gonna be great to see

506
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: this entire team together. Yeah, but you got to be

507
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: playing your best football in December. That's just right around

508
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: the corner. So you know, the offensive line today, Paul

509
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: played fantastic.

510
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: You know, you had dobsack just once.

511
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 2: You had a hold call, holding call on Brian O'Neill

512
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 2: on a big run. You know, that one was kind

513
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: of a dicey call. But overall, that group up front,

514
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: they protected them really well. These weren't scrambles. These were

515
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 2: he had time to read one, two and three, go

516
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: back to you know, go back to three, and then

517
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: pull it down and run. So the offensive line did

518
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: a wonderful job.

519
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos play Monday night football at Buffalo, so

520
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna be on a short week, but they host

521
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings next Sunday at Empower Field. Their quarterback

522
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson and ours is Josh Dobbs. And here's

523
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: Josh following the game.

524
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: We so of y'all.

525
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 7: How you doing. Obviously a great team win.

526
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 6: I first just want to talk about, you know, the

527
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 6: fans in the atmosphere was tremendous to be out here

528
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 6: from the home side. I've seen this game, you know

529
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 6: from the visit size, so just to have the crowd

530
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 6: behind us out there, it was electric. I had a

531
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 6: lot of fun, you know, on this field. And then

532
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 6: you know, the game. I thought it was great just

533
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 6: seeing guys step up offense, defense, playing copy football as

534
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 6: we did last week, and just make.

535
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 7: Plays all day. You know.

536
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 6: Offense, we got hot, especially early in the game. Different

537
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 6: guys were able to make explosives, keep the chains moving,

538
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 6: make big plays for me, which obviously helped simplify the

539
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 6: game and slow it all down. And then defense in

540
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 6: the second half to tremend the job of having our

541
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 6: back and closing out the game in the fourth quarter.

542
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 7: So great win.

543
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 6: We'll continue pushing forward as we always say, you know,

544
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 6: there's always room for improvement, but we'll definitely enjoy this

545
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 6: for today and tomorrow and get back to work for

546
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 6: next Sunday. Better in person, Yeah, it definitely was better

547
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 6: in person. It definitely was better in person.

548
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 7: You know.

549
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 6: Chris or hercub coach, came up dering it all and

550
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 6: he said, hey, just like I was warming up getting

551
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 6: ready for the first drive, he said, just take a

552
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 6: second just to take it all in. And so, yeah,

553
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 6: it was a cool moment, but it definitely it's definitely

554
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 6: rocking in person.

555
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 5: Jeff, what was the week like getting to spend more

556
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 5: time with Kevin and just the entire staff as you

557
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 5: prepped for this game.

558
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was obviously, you know, stepping on the field

559
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 6: and having the reps where you're not the first time

560
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 6: throwing to the receivers and working with the O line

561
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 6: mid game allowed it to be a lot more comfortable

562
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 6: out there on the field. And so just to have

563
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 6: the week of preparation to be able to get the

564
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 6: offense under my belt, get the game plan under my

565
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 6: belt was awesome. And so there's room for improvement, man,

566
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 6: but it's I think it's exciting to be able to

567
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 6: do what we did out there and be able to

568
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 6: go back and look at the film and say, ah,

569
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 6: we did leave some.

570
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 7: Meat on the bone.

571
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 6: And so we'll continue growing and improving. I'll continue to

572
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 6: find ways to continue to grow in my role and

573
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 6: be better man, because you know what the playmakers we have,

574
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 6: with the mindset that we have with the guy stepping

575
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 6: up making plays, you know, I think we definitely.

576
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 7: Have a lot of potential moving forward.

577
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 5: The facility this week, What did that look like? How

578
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 5: long were the hours and how much was just studying

579
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 5: the playbook?

580
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not you know, I'm not paid by the hour,

581
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 6: so I have nowhere else to be, so I hung.

582
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 6: Guys did spend a lot of time at the facility

583
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 6: that probably ate every meal every day there, which is fine.

584
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 3: Man.

585
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 6: Like you know, I'm blessed to be in the position

586
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 6: I am, and I'm grateful for this opportunity. So no

587
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 6: stone will be not turned over, whether it's you know,

588
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 6: growing in the offense, creating simulated reps in the facility,

589
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 6: or you know, studying the defenses that we're going to play.

590
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 6: They'll continue to adjust to try to slow us down.

591
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 6: So I'm a constant student of the game, and you know,

592
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 6: I thought, you know, just having the QB room around

593
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 6: me was awesome, Like Sean and Nick and Kirk in

594
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 6: the building and Jaron. You know, they were around hanging

595
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 6: out with me throughout the week as well, putting in

596
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 6: the hours as we you know, as I asked them

597
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: questions about the offense, you know, stuff that was getting

598
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 6: installed just to clear my mind as I exercise some

599
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 6: demons and asking no questions about things just to make

600
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 6: sure I was locked in for game day, or as

601
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 6: we studied the defense. So it's great have a tremendous

602
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 6: support group around me with my teammates as well. They're

603
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 6: helping me prepare week in and week out, and you know,

604
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 6: it's a team effort, and so shout out to those

605
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 6: guys and I'll be excited to get back to work

606
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 6: with them this week.

607
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 3: Josh on the touchdown run, at what point did that

608
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 3: pick couple plays? Thought you'd be able to run and run.

609
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 7: It in the first score?

610
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I went through my entire progression at

611
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 6: a tremendous show. They're in too high shell and uh

612
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 6: they good good, did a good job covering guys up.

613
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 6: The mic took my first progression, the will took my second,

614
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 6: and the safeties kind of exited out the backside of

615
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 6: the back in line throws. And so when that happens,

616
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 6: man like there, I thought, you know, the old line

617
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 6: all day allowed me the opportunity to go through my reads,

618
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 6: stay in the pocket, and then when the opportunity to

619
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 6: present itself, to be able to utilize my legs and

620
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 6: make plays. And so I was able to go through

621
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 6: my entire progression, work through it. See everything was covered,

622
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 6: and then from there, you know, it's just go make

623
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 6: a play, big play in the game. And his third

624
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 6: down those are four point swings, So to be able

625
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 6: to first get the first down and get in the

626
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 6: end zone was tremendous for us as an offense and

627
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 6: as a team and propelling us through the rest of

628
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 6: the second quarter and ultimately winning the game with it.

629
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: When you were meeting with coaches this week and the

630
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: idea of the direct snap comes up, what was your

631
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 4: reaction to it? What do you remember telling them anything

632
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: about your thoughts on when.

633
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 7: It came up this week.

634
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm I'm all for a touchdown play. So I

635
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 6: wasn't complaining too much. I thought it was cool, like

636
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 6: to have Ty get his first touchdown with it and everything. Obviously,

637
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 6: you know, it's like as a quarterback, the first thing

638
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 6: you heard about logistics like okay, like classroom, me running down,

639
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 6: can we snap the ball one moving? I got to

640
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 6: make sure I'm set and then obviously protect yourself once

641
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 6: you get out there. But it's good man, anytime you're

642
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 6: able to keep keep defense on their heels, switch it up,

643
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 6: give them something different and new wrinkle. It's tough, tough

644
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 6: to stop. We do a good job with that, and

645
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 6: so to execute it, Ty getting the in zone for

646
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 6: his first one. I know he had a second one

647
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 6: and taking off the board which was a little bit questionable,

648
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 6: but for him to get in the end zone for

649
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 6: the first one was awesome.

650
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: Man.

651
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 6: So to finished drives in the in the end zone

652
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 6: are difficult in this league. So every time we do it, man,

653
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 6: we got to take advantage of those looks.

654
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: Got what point or did you put last week aside?

655
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: I mean that was not only just you know, winning performance,

656
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: but kind of historic in a lot of ways, like

657
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 3: did you put it aside?

658
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: Did you carry it with you during the week, or

659
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: how did you kind of deal with the one as

660
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: you're working up towards the other.

661
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you always carry the momentum, right, But

662
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 6: you know, my mindset is, you know, no matter how

663
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 6: the game goes, you have Sunday, you have Monday to.

664
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 7: About two o'clock.

665
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 6: That's usually when you stopped watching the film of the

666
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 6: last game to move on to the next one.

667
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 7: So that's around the time.

668
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 6: Like mentally, when I when I was onto the Saints,

669
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 6: I know, obviously like media and stuff, like had a

670
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 6: field day with all the stories coming from the game,

671
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 6: which is awesome, just committing us for what we did

672
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 6: because it's not easy to do in the NFL. But

673
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 6: you know, mentally, once two o'clock hits on Monday, man,

674
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 6: I'm onto the next game. You know, there's there's so

675
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 6: much information that you have to consume at the quarterback

676
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 6: position week in and week out to prepare you for Sunday.

677
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 6: And so a lot of times, you know what not

678
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 6: this not the momentum and the confidence that you have

679
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 6: from a week, but you know, the information or whatever

680
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 6: happened last week, you have to put that aside, man,

681
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 6: and and get onto the next one. Because, as I said,

682
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 6: last week. You know, you show up on Sunday, you

683
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 6: don't play well. You know, no one cares what you

684
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 6: did last week in Atlanta. I care about what you

685
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 6: did this week in Minnesota. So I thought it was

686
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 6: a tremendous job as a team though, you know, being

687
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 6: able to carry that momentum and just that vibe, but

688
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 6: also being able to be locked in on another really

689
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 6: good opponent coming to Minnesota.

690
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 7: We did a great job, and we have to do

691
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 7: that again this upcoming week.

692
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 5: Usually lovely to intelligence at the quarterback position, with reading defenses,

693
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 5: throwing to the right guy. Do you use your intelligence

694
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 5: when you scramble and run or do you just.

695
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 7: Go No, you can't, you can't go road. You still

696
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 7: gotta be smart.

697
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 6: There's some headhunters out there, so you got to get down,

698
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 6: protect yourself and understand when I've gotten the most I

699
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 6: can out of this run, I get down or I haven't.

700
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 6: You know, there's one guy to beat the end zones

701
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 6: right there. I can go and try to and try

702
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 6: to make another guy miss and fight for those extra yards.

703
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 7: So you're always.

704
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 6: Thinking it's a constant game of chess, and obviously things

705
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 6: happened very quickly out there on the field. But you

706
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 6: always have to whether you're in the pocket throwing the ball,

707
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 6: picking part defenses or running the ball using your legs. Man,

708
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 6: you always got to play that game of chess and

709
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 6: be smart and protect yourself.

710
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 3: Jeff, what did you.

711
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 7: See on the past the touchdown pass of TJ? Hockey said,

712
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 7: and how tricky is that route?

713
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 6: Then he ran, yeah, man, you know we had two

714
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 6: eyes shell or something like I had gularly just asked

715
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 6: on the sideline, It's like, if we get this look.

716
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 7: What are we thinking?

717
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 6: Just to confirm that my eyes were going to be

718
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 6: in the right place, And so we ended up getting

719
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 6: that look. TJ did a great job of getting vertical

720
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 6: and really kind of running to that open area because

721
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 6: it's tough. You know, the mic is running back there.

722
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 6: He has the middle of the field and you got

723
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 6: two safety so you know they're usually in that defense

724
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 6: to prevent you from being able to take shots, especially

725
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 6: down the scene. And so for him to be able

726
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 6: to get open man, get into that little seam and

727
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 6: for me to be able to put.

728
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 7: The ball over, it was a huge play.

729
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 6: Like we got momentum, you know what. The first couple

730
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 6: drives in the second quarter and then we got the

731
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 6: ball back. Devens a tremendous job getting a stop and

732
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 6: getting us a two minute drive, and then for us

733
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 6: to go down and get a touchdown before the half

734
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 6: was huge, huge.

735
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 7: More betom for us as a team.

736
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 6: And so to finish that drive the way we did

737
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 6: overcome you know, a little false start to play before

738
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 6: and put the ball on the end zone was huge.

739
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 6: He did a great job, obviously adding on to this

740
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 6: historic day and historic half, especially playing through injury.

741
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 1: Man.

742
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 6: The guy's a fighter and I'm definitely happy to have

743
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 6: him on our side.

744
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 3: Get a starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vike. If you

745
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: pinched yourself, yeah.

746
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 7: I think I did.

747
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 6: Like on Friday leaving the facility, I'm just like, I

748
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 6: just moved out at the hotel. So we're making strides

749
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 6: off the field, But I did. I did pinch myself.

750
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 6: It's been really cool just being able to take it

751
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 6: all in the fans. The support has been absolutely tremendous,

752
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 6: you know, around the city, and so yeah, you know,

753
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 6: I'm taking in a stride. What I like to say

754
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 6: is I'm exactly where my feet are. You know, I'm

755
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 6: not thinking too far ahead. I'm not thinking in the past. Man,

756
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 6: I'm right here. I'm taking it all in, playing a

757
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 6: one game at a time, one practice at a time,

758
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 6: one media and time, one day at a time, because

759
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 6: this is a lot of fun, you know, this is

760
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 6: this is definitely a lot of fun, and I'm enjoying

761
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 6: every single second of it.

762
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 3: Friday that made you hitch yourself on Friday, it was

763
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 3: just because you've moved to it at the.

764
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 7: Hotel a little bit, you know.

765
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 6: So I came back from the facility like late afternoon

766
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 6: on Friday, and just seeing all the legends in the hotel, man,

767
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 6: and seeing all the guys that have come before us

768
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 6: as players, and just feeling their vibe and energy. Like

769
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 6: I was on the elevator with a couple of them

770
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 6: and they were like, oh, you're the quarterback, and they

771
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 6: were so excited just to be here in Minnesota, be

772
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 6: back around you know, football, and back around the facility,

773
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 6: and just feeling that energy, man, and feeling that recognition

774
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 6: from guys that you know.

775
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 7: Have played a lot more snaps than I have have had.

776
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 6: Alexurist careers, and just to see that excitement meant meant

777
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 6: a lot, you know to me.

778
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 7: And so yeah, in the moment.

779
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 6: It was a cool moment, just be able to take

780
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 6: it all in and enjoy that quick fellowship with with

781
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 6: with them obviously just as football players, but also respect

782
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 6: that the position that I'm in, I didn't get any

783
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 6: names because it was on the elevator. You know, it's

784
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 6: only seven floors. It's it's pretty quick in and out.

785
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 6: But you know, just the energy really meant a lot

786
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 6: there in the lobby in passing.

787
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 7: It was really cool to see know all of your

788
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 7: teammates and names.

789
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 6: Yet Do I know all of my teammates names? Yes,

790
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 6: but I'm not getting a test from you guys. So no,

791
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 6: it's been It's been good. We're it was cool spending

792
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 6: time with the alignment after practice on Thursday. They do

793
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 6: a good job with their chemistry building. So they were

794
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 6: at my home in the hotel eating downstairs, so I

795
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 6: got to stop by and crash their dinner. And so yeah,

796
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 6: I'll continue turning over every stone to be around my teammates,

797
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 6: continue to get to know them both their football lives

798
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 6: but also who they are off the field. So I'm enjoying, man,

799
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 6: I'm taking taking advantage of every opportunity and enjoying every

800
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 6: second of it.

801
00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 7: But appreciate y'all.

802
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: Dobbs with a career best to sixty eight passing, He

803
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: threw a passing touchdown, and he also ran one in

804
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: eight runs for forty four yards. Vikings ran for more

805
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: than one hundred yards in the game. Ty Chandler ended

806
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: up with fifteen runs career high for him and forty

807
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: five yards and his first National Football League touchdown. But

808
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs, overall, what do you think? Yeah, like I said,

809
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: very happy.

810
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: And in the part that I love the most is

811
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: that he's still looking down the field to throw the football.

812
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 2: He's he can run, you know, he can make he

813
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: can make some scrambles, he can make some things happen,

814
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: but he's still first and foremost wants to throw the

815
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: football down the field. And I think that's something that

816
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell's going to emphasize, is that you want to

817
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: be a passing quarterback first. And if you're a passing quarterback,

818
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: can you make defenses respect you or you make them

819
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: pay when they start tweaking things to keep you from

820
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: running and tweaking things here and there, be able to

821
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 2: get that football and being inaccurate of a thrower. That

822
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: throw again, that throw to Hockinson was just a beautiful thing.

823
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 2: It was so it was so perfectly throwing the touch,

824
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: the potential there for Dobbs. I mean, he can't be

825
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: anything but excited about it, and I can't wait to

826
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 2: see what the coming weeks bring with him.

827
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: Vikings postgame report with not many topics left in fact,

828
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: time for two more. And defensively, it's so unpredictable when

829
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: it looks like, you know, say second or third and six,

830
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: seven or eight, and oh here comes the Flores Blitz

831
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: is what like New Orleans, thanks car Winston, Taysom Miller, whomever.

832
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: And then he rushes like two or three, and just

833
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: to watch quarterbacks get flustered for two seconds, it's just

834
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: a thing, a bea.

835
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: And then conversely to see Mattelis be able to get

836
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 2: through that offensive line and get a couple of pressures,

837
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 2: one of which resulted in an interception. So the looks

838
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: that they're giving it's very calculated, it's very designed not

839
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: giving anything away. They're doing a great job disguising. So

840
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 2: you know, defensively, all these guys, We've said it a

841
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 2: million times, Soup the nuts is defense. All these guys

842
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: are playing better. They're playing better than he did a

843
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 2: year ago. Yeah, they're playing with some momentum.

844
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 3: You know.

845
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: George Hicks left the game hurt too.

846
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, the next guy up they talked about,

847
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 2: Troy Die got in there and I saw him make

848
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: a couple of nice plays, especially in the passing game.

849
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: So you know, it seems like we can plug and

850
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 2: play anybody in there, and we continue to roll. So

851
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: you know, we'll see we get you know, Caleb Evans

852
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: and you know, nicked up and it's time for Makai

853
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: Blackman to step up on Oh, by the way he

854
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: did with an interception today two could have had two.

855
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: So the potential from even more plays is there. And

856
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 2: you know, I think that side of the ball has

857
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: been as big. It's been the biggest change to this team. Yeah, Jonathan,

858
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 2: the way the defense has been playing.

859
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: Jonathan Bullard with his first full Saxons twenty nineteen when

860
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 1: he was with Arizona, he had a forced fumble Byron

861
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: Murphy is third pick of the season and Makai Blackman

862
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: the first interception of his career and despite leaving the

863
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter obviously nicked up Jordan Hicks

864
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: led the team in tackles with seven and he is

865
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: your leading tackler into the Broncos game.

866
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: The job daneil Hunter with number eleven right in the NFL.

867
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: You've got you, but a lot of guys making plays.

868
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: That's Pete bursicch and I'm Paul Allen. Good news from

869
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: US Bank Stadium. Hopefully better news next week against the

870
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. The team has won five in a row,

871
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: four KO, five in a row, four KO, and improves

872
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: to six and four with a twenty seven nineteen victory

873
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 2: over the New Orleans Saints on behalf of Pete Bursig

874
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 2: and the man who puts this together curly hearries.

875
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Allen. That's the Vikings postgame report at Vikings
