Speaker 1: They dip back into divisional plays. They try to snap

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: a two game skin and work their way back into

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: playoff position. Sunday marks the one hundred and twenty seventh

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: regular season Border battle.

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: Head coach Kevin O'Connell is four and two against the

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: Pack and swept them last season.

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: However, Green Bay is six three and one this year

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: and currently sitting at second in the division. We'll hear

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: from the Packer's side of things.

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: We welcome in the head Cheese Dave Sinnekin onto the show.

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: But first, our dear friend of the program, Eric Nordquiz,

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: joins us to give us a pulse of the purple.

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Let's give a big warm Welcome to Eric nord Quiz,

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: producer of nine to Noon.

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: No, yeah, is it weird to clap for yourself?

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: No, that was a that wasn't you. That was all

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: the live audience who.

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: Are learning from theater of the mind. There you go.

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: I love that. I love theater.

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: Well, I actually want to ask you about your mind

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: inside of it. In your eyes, bigger rival Bears are

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Packers for the Vikings, Oh, it's.

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: It's Packers, absolutely, And it is for me. I mean

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: divided household my father, grandfather, grandfather is an owner as

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: a matter of fact. Yes, Oh, tough to fun, fact,

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: tough to admit and mixed company. Father lifelong Packers fan

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: and and me. I I'm just all in on the purple.

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 3: So uh yeah, I think it's the Packers by ten miles.

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: I think in this division though, Packers, Bears, and Lions.

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: There's a different kind of vitriol attached to each of

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: those teams for different reasons. But the Packers certainly from

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: a rivalry standpoint, stand up public enemy number one for

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: US Vikings fans. Yeah.

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: How much does that change as you see the team's

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: jockey for NFC North divisional standings over the years.

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's that's a great question because if you

40
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: like in the now time now, I don't want the

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: Lions to win any game that includes us, and most

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: games that don't include us, but the Lions, you have

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 3: a hard time being mad at him, because over the

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 3: last quarter century they've been so dreadful, empathetic and its

45
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: fans with the with the grocery bags over their heads

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 3: and all of that went entire winless seasons that they've endured.

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: And then it's kind of a cool team, like you

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: can't you know, you can't hate Jared gard Jamier Gibbs

49
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: kind of a really cool player that I wish we had.

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 3: The head coach is you know, he's got the he's

51
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: got the Copenhagen stains on the bottom row. But but

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: he's kind of he's a coach you can understand why

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: people play for. He gets the best out of this guy.

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: So you know, on its face as a franchise, I

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: can't hate the Lions. I just despise the idea of

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 3: losing to them, which is why that went at ford

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: Field was so cool.

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: That was really cool.

59
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Hoping for some of that magic at lambeau Field on Sundays.

60
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: So this is going to be the first of two

61
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: games against the Packers this season. Obviously, the Vikings end

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: the year against the Packers at home, which will be

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: super fun. Hopefully by the end of it all and

64
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: hope it means something. That's always the case and in

65
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: order for it to mean something, Nordo. The Vikings need

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: this win on the road. Both teams kind of struggling

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: to score recently. There's been a lot of ups and

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: downs right now in the last five weeks. The Packers

69
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: are averaging about twenty one point eight points, but they

70
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: had some two very low scoring numbers and knocked that

71
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: thing down, and.

72
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: Then the Bikes game.

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Vikings are averaging nineteen points a game.

74
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could have used twenty one and change this

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: last Sunday to use that.

76
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, so so do you foresee a low scoring game?

77
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: You know?

78
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: How does the elements play into it?

79
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: All?

80
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't looked at the weather rapport yet.

81
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: It's like forty four and clear sky, so okay, so

82
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of a nice atmosphere.

83
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: On his probably pretty nice day, Thank goodness. I don't

84
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: think I could take some snow there at all.

85
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I it's tough for me to predict high

86
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: scoring endeavors by our favorite team until we continue to

87
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: see maybe a little more consistency out of JJ McCarthy.

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: This does feel, though, similar to that ford Field game

89
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: as a reference the win over the Lions. This does

90
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: feel kind of like it's going to be a twenty

91
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: seven to twenty four as that game was, or twenty

92
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: four to twenty one. It does feel kind of in

93
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: that range where you know they're the Packers are sweating

94
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: the health of Josh Jacobs yep, and we are sweating

95
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: the consistency of our young QB from a health standpoint.

96
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: The Vikings might actually believe it or not. Don't tell anybody.

97
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: There's a chance this will be the first game of

98
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: the season where we actually see all the players that

99
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: we were excited about scene into the season. So I

100
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: hope that takes place where we're sweating the consistency of

101
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: the of the kid in charge number nine. So this

102
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: does look like it's a game where it's a slog

103
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: at times. You're going to see, I mean, just the Packers'

104
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 3: ability to find explosive plays, the up and down nature

105
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: of Jordan Love. They experienced good times bad times with him,

106
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: but he finds his way and it is really impressive

107
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,119
Speaker 3: at six three and one. Just some of the things

108
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: that they've been challenged with this year. I find it

109
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: this is going to be a game of who gets

110
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: that bigger explosive near the end of the game.

111
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense.

112
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: That might find their way into the winner's circle.

113
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's been a mix of outcomes for

114
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: the Packers QB against Brian Flores. Obviously, this Vikings team

115
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: blitz is the most in the NFL. Jordan Love has

116
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: had success against the Blitz over his career. However, last

117
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: year Vikings swept the Packers and actually Brian Flores is

118
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: undefeated at lambeau Field with the Vikings, so he kind

119
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: of seems like he's inside his head. Do we should

120
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: we expect that much from Brian Flores to be able

121
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: to outscheme what Jordan Love.

122
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: Is capable of.

123
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: Well, if Josh Jacobs doesn't play. Part of the reason

124
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: I bring that up, that's kind of the a topic

125
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,119
Speaker 3: for them. Lafleur wants to run the ball forty times

126
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: a game, and he wants Jordan Love to be seventeen

127
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: to twenty one for two hundred yards, a couple of

128
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: touchdowns and a nice passer rating. So he wants efficiency

129
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: a couple of those explosives. And you know, whether that's

130
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: Matthew Golden. Christian Watson has emerged from obscurity. People forgot

131
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: about Christian Watson. Now he's scoring two tds. I think

132
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: in that most recent game they had with the Giants.

133
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: So I think that that plays into kind of what

134
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: you're talking about, the ups and downs of Jordan Love,

135
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: and so what does that run game look like? And

136
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: then if because if they have to play left handed, yeah,

137
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: and they don't have Josh Jacobs. I think that's a

138
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: legit issue that the Packers may not be able to overcome.

139
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: Flores some of the issues he's had scheming against Ben Johnson.

140
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: He definitely does not have those in most other cases,

141
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: including this one. So I would anticipate and I trust

142
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: Flores to pitch another nice one at Lambeau on Sunday,

143
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: whether or not he remains undefeated at Lambeau, Well, that's

144
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: dependent McCarthy.

145
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yes it is.

146
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: It is, and that actually let's talk about the protection

147
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: for JJ McCarthy in this one. I think obviously you're

148
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: watching the blitz against Jordan Love, but I think the

149
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: other eye, the other storyline to keep your eye on

150
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: would be the Packers pass rush, which is ranking top

151
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: five in the league against this o line, which you

152
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: brought up a great point.

153
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: Will Rang call I be back, We're unsure if not.

154
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,559
Speaker 1: It is a group that's been together for a little

155
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: bit more than.

156
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: One game sixteen seventeen.

157
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Crazy, but you know, it looked like it was a

158
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: promising trend last week with the pre snap penalties.

159
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: So now you're going into a hostile, loud, Lambeau.

160
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: Crowd from eight fallse starts to just one. There we

161
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: go there week the week improvement, a huge.

162
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: Week to week improvement.

163
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: So you but but now you go into lambo, right,

164
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: and you're up against this pass rush in the what

165
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: can you what can we anticipate from that match up?

166
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: That storyline?

167
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: Well, that's it's it's, uh, the same way we would

168
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: talk about when our front seven is cooking, how that

169
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: might help the situation on the back end. It's the

170
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: same conversation with the Packers. The combination of Parsons and

171
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: Edger and Cooper's really good, and you know, the the

172
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: what they do up front is special and Halfley's defense

173
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: deserves some praise for very for very valid reasons. Uh,

174
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: the protection up front is going to meet a lot

175
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 3: we've seen, you know, of all the negatives talking about

176
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: the quarterback and just inconsistency, lack of accuracy, et cetera. Uh,

177
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 3: the last two games, one sack I believe in the

178
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 3: Ravens game, was not sacked in the Bears game, and

179
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 3: so the commitment or not commitment wrong seaword. The right

180
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: sea word is continuity. In terms of the offensive line,

181
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: we have seen improvement there. Now the improvement has to

182
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: happen with the kid behind them, but pass protection, specifically

183
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: with a healthy Aaron Jones picking up an extra runner,

184
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: picking up or assisting maybe potentially on the left side

185
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: if Parsons is coming in Edger and Cooper. Again, I

186
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: mentioned these two names because they are absolute game wreckers

187
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: for the Green and Gold. And as we you know,

188
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: the many things we want the kid QB to improve on,

189
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: all of that becomes moot and the conversation is dead

190
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: if we can't give him even that two two and

191
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: a half seconds to process as he gets better at that,

192
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: to find the right read as he needs to get

193
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 3: better at that, and to play pitch and catch as

194
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: the coach says, that needs to get better. And it's

195
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: not going to get better if if McCarthy's laying on

196
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: his back and old number one's doing the sack dance

197
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: at his at his at his loss.

198
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: So you had a.

199
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: Coach O'Connell on nine to noon this week for x'es

200
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: and o's were what were his main sentiments when.

201
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: It goes into you know.

202
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: Evolving quarterback play for a young guy going into his

203
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: only sixth start of the year.

204
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: I can you know, I can only pick up because

205
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell. They're good conversations that he has with us

206
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: nine to noon. But it's not like he's opening a

207
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: vein and it's just the book is wide open and

208
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 3: we can read all the thoughts and all the things

209
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: that go into it. So my vibe with it, what

210
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 3: I take from it is the combination of managing what's

211
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 3: around JJ McCarthy while simultaneously on the fly raising JJ

212
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: McCarthy that this is the biggest adversity and the biggest

213
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 3: challenge of his coaching career, and the sentiments around it.

214
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: I still feel that optimism, which I believe there should be.

215
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: Through five starts, you can play player comparisons and hey,

216
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 3: look what Josh Allen did early in his career, right,

217
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: and then you know, somebody will say, well he didn't

218
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: have Jefferson and Addison. Well then I will say, well,

219
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: actually they had one of the better defenses in the NFL.

220
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: They were a playoff team the year before they got

221
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: him by the way. But all the same, you can

222
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: play those comparison games, and I think you lose a

223
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: lot in that where we're not at any point just

224
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: talking about just being patient, and Kevin O'Connell actually has

225
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: been really honest over the course of time where it's

226
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: I'm not shortening the playbook, I'm actually not making it

227
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: easier on him. I'm going to construct this thing to

228
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: accentuate the things he does best. But that doesn't mean

229
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: it's necessarily going to be easy, and we're going to

230
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: do things that in frame not just you know, challenge

231
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: him to improve, but put our team in the best

232
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: place to win. Balancing that clearly has been a mountainous journey,

233
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: but I still see the sentiments of optimism and from

234
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 3: a week to week basis finding new things that yeah,

235
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: this is better than a week before. Yes, this shows

236
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: that he gets it. Processing is improving here there, and

237
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: and in the end, I think, what's kind of weird

238
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: because Vikings fans will get this just in terms of

239
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: wanting a franchise QB. We loved Kirk, we loved Farvin

240
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 3: O nine, these fleeting moments we want to raise somebody

241
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: that becomes a star. We found a kid after all

242
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: these years. He's actually really really good in the clutch moments,

243
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: which is very very historically on Vikings life. But now

244
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: he just doesn't do the other things. So in the

245
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, fourth down you need to have it, he

246
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: absolutely offers a dart and the dagger and gets into

247
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: the end zone. But in the second quarter, when it's

248
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: second and eight, he throws it ten feet over a

249
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: guy's head.

250
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: So harness that clutch gene throughout right. So from clutch, yeah,

251
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: to touch?

252
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: Can we get we got the clutch? Can we get

253
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 3: some touch on the fastball?

254
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: I love that your mind always thinks in like rhyme

255
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: rap form, because I know you do your montages and.

256
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: The fans very rhyme and alliteration. These are two pillars

257
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: of the fan.

258
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, one more fun question before we get going.

259
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: I would I wanted to know we're week eleven, it's

260
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: time to like, really the teams really take taken shape.

261
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: You kind of like find who's having great seasons by now,

262
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: who is one player that you are just so pleased

263
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: with and excited for in this offense or in this

264
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: in this on this roster Okay that you just like

265
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: didn't think he'd like so much, but now you're like, man,

266
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: this guy's the best.

267
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: Well. Eric Wilson has taken Ivan Pace's spot and he's

268
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: not giving it back. He's been a revelation week to

269
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 3: week and I love that. The other one, and we've

270
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: talked about him before, Jalen Redmond has again taken a spot,

271
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: taken advantage of it, and it's not necessarily just about

272
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 3: earning a roster I mean the base level here in

273
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 3: a roster spot dig that. But now it's like you

274
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: can't take him off the field. He has to be

275
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: an integral part, not just to stopping the run, but

276
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: you're finding him in the backfield and he's affecting the

277
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: QBS as well. And then you look at his backstory.

278
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: There's there's blood clots, there's health, there's you know, just

279
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: tragic there there's death in this kid's life. And now

280
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 3: you know he's he's making plays every single Sunday and

281
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: he's all effort, he's all energy, and it just feels

282
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: like nobody's happier to be on that field.

283
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: Thank you Nordo so much, Really appreciate your time, your insight.

284

00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: My pleasure. It's Border Battle week. It's what we all

315
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: wait for every season, so I can't wait to get

316
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 4: into it.

317
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: I bet are you headed to the game?

318
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: I am not. I have three kids coming home from

319
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: college over the weekend, going to hunker down and hang

320
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 4: out and watch the game together. Two of my kids

321
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: are Packer fans, Jackson's a misguided Viking fan, but it's

322
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: always fun to watch all together, to watch these games.

323
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: Well, Dave, your latest article on zone coverage you wrote

324
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: after the Giants win. It wasn't a giant leap, but

325
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: they take a step forward.

326
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: What did you mean by that?

327
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: Well, after two consecutive losses at Lambeau, something that Matt

328
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 4: Lafleur has never had happen in back to back weeks,

329
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 4: it's hard to know what to expect from green Bay.

330
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 4: They seemed to have played down to their competition, so

331
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 4: I wasn't expecting this robust performance to break out of

332
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 4: the fog. And it looked like the team that we

333
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: thought the Packers were after a couple of weeks. But

334
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: I saw just a few encouraging signs. The fact that

335
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 4: the offense got untracked and put points on the board

336
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: I'll get against a mediocre Giants defense. Yeah, I was

337
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 4: worried about the you know, facing a team right after

338
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: they fired their coach, and here comes Jamis Winston to

339
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: rally the troops, and it was hard to really know, like,

340
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: are you catching the Giants at a really bad time

341
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 4: because they're gonna be fired up. So I kind of

342
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: had these expectations that were just let's get in there

343
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 4: and get a win because the last time green Bay

344
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: went there two years ago, a backup quarterback Tommy DeVito

345
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 4: sprung the upset on Green Bay. They've kind of been

346
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: a house of horror, so I just wanted to see progress,

347
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 4: and I thought the offense showed progress. The defense, while

348
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: not great, made big plays at key moments, as they've

349
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: done all seasons. So encouraging that they got off the

350
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: two lost snide. But I'm not ready to jump up

351
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 4: and down and wave my cheese head just yet.

352
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

353
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean they faced a lot of adversity in that game.

354
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: Albeit Jordan Love missing some time but getting back into

355
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: the game.

356
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 2: What do you think the status.

357
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: For his I know it's early in the week as

358
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: we record this, so not too much out there, just

359
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: as a forwarding for those listening, But do you think

360
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: this is something he'll just be able to battle back

361
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: from for Sunday?

362
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 4: Well, I think he'll be okay as long as he

363
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 4: doesn't get hit again. You know, if he lands on

364
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 4: that left shoulder again, who knows. I was very concerned

365
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 4: that maybe it was just the adrenaline of the game

366
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 4: once he came back, and that when he got out

367
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 4: and got tested there might be some problems. It does

368
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 4: sound like he dodged anything serious, but it's a shoulder

369
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 4: it's not his throwing shoulder, but this just in you know,

370
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: quarterbacks need their arms, so I think he'll be fine

371
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 4: as long as Green Bay protects him a little bit.

372
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: It is nice to know that if he's got to

373
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 4: go get some tests done, you can have a guy

374
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 4: like Malik Willis step in. And actually he jump started

375
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: the offense, put him on the scoreboard in the seven

376
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 4: plays he was out there. He actually got things going.

377
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 4: So it's nice to know they've got something if Jordan

378
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 4: can't go for a while. But yeah, I'm more concerned

379
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 4: about Josh Jacobs, who misspractice on Wednesday's day to day,

380
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 4: and you know they got two games now over the

381
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 4: next ten days. They obviously play Thanksgiving in Detroit, and

382
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 4: so'm I'm a little nervous that they might decide to

383
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: just be safe with Jacobs and maybe if it's a

384
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 4: couple extra days, make sure he's out there for Detroit.

385
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: So that's the offensive injury I'm really keenly focused on

386
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 4: this week.

387
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, how much does his availability affect the

388
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: Packers offense as a whole.

389
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 4: Well, he's what makes the offense go, and that the

390
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 4: reason Green Bay's offense has been really kind of stuck

391
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: in neutral a lot this season is that the running

392
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 4: game just hasn't got on track. It's not necessarily Jacobs,

393
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 4: it's the offensive line is not block run like they

394
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 4: did a year ago. It's just been really slow to

395
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 4: go with a new fangled interior. They're getting healthier, they're

396
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: getting better. We see signs on Sunday. He was only

397
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 4: out there for a handful of carries, but he averaged

398
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: five and a half yards of carry. He does make

399
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 4: the offense go. Matt Lafleur wants to be a run

400
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 4: first coach, like you know his mentor you know Kyle Shanahan.

401
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 4: That's how their offense starts is with the running game.

402
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: So if he can't go, Emmanuel Wilson gets the main job,

403
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 4: but you'll see a lot of Chris Brooks, the number

404
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 4: three guy who doesn't get a lot of run, but

405
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 4: he's a really good blitz pickup guy, pass protector. Green

406
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: Bays play at the day last Sunday was a big time.

407
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 4: I'm sure he saw it. That third and ten bomb

408
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 4: to save on Williams. If Chris Brooks doesn't pick up

409
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: a blitz and hold this guy off for as long

410
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 4: as Love needed to, that play doesn't happen. He's kind

411
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: of an unsung hero, and I think you'll see almost

412
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: a split between both Wilson and Brooks because we know

413
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 4: Brian Flores is gonna blitz early and off and against.

414
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: What gives you that impression the league and blitzes. It's

415
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: funny you say that there's a split, though.

416
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: I think Josh Jacobs accounts for almost forty percent of

417
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: the offense for the Packers, and so without him they

418
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: definitely have some voids to be full and Brian Flores

419
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: is probably preparing for it either way.

420
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: What is it about what do you enjoy the most?

421
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: Rather about the chess match between Jordan Love and Brian

422
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: Flores's defensive front.

423
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, obviously, like most quarterbacks level struggle if there's

424
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 4: somebody in his face. I think that Love's quick decision

425
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 4: making has really improved, his confidence, has improved the trust

426
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: that the Packers' offensive coaches having love to dissect what

427
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: might be coming, even though it's impossible to know exactly

428
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 4: who's common who's dropping with Brian Flores, but I think

429
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 4: they've really come to a point in the relationship with

430
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 4: Laflora in Love where the trust is starting to get there.

431
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 4: The problem is a lot of his favorite pass catching

432
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: options just can't stay on the field so to develop

433
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 4: the chemistry. And when you just don't have guys that

434
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 4: are out there consistently practicing, some of that isn't as

435
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 4: crisp as you'd like it to be. But I think

436
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 4: that overall, you know, Jorda Love will throw a couple

437
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 4: of balls every week that make you just close your

438
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 4: eyes and pray, like that passed to Sabne Williams last week.

439
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: But when the chips are down, if it's a close

440
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 4: game late, he's proven this year. I mean four Cup

441
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 4: fourth quarter comebacks, three are wins, one or a tie,

442
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: all on the road, So he's really when the chips

443
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 4: are down, when things are getting tight, he's proven that

444
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 4: he's up to that challenge and can take whatever that

445
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: defense gives you, and obviously hasn't been successful. If I

446
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 4: can swept the Packers last year, we'll see what Love

447
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 4: has learned when they meet again on Sunday.

448
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's on pace for career hising, completion percentage, passing,

449
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: touchdown interception ratio, and passer rating. Dave, we really appreciate

450
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: you spending some time with us today. I would say

451
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: best of luck, but I really think the Purple need

452
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: to get this one off their back.

453
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 4: I get it, I get it. Great to chat with

454
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 4: to Jadam, Thanks for reaching. Look forward to doing it

455
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 4: again sometimes.

456
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: Thank you. Dave really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you.

457
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: A big thank you to Eric Nordquist and Dave Sinekin
