1
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: Hey, the Minnesota Vikings beat the Detroit Lions twenty twenty

2
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: four and very very exciting, spine tingling and enterprising fashion

3
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: with analyst Pete Ursache. I'm Paul Allen. We call games

4
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: on kfa N and the Vikings radio network, and that

5
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: was a fun one to call, not only because the

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Vikings won, but because of how they won it. And

7
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: to copyright Kirk Cousins, you like that, you like that, well,

8
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: we liked it a lot. When kJ Osborne caught the

9
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown. Yeah, how about I mean, how about that?

10
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: And that's something that with this offense you could tell

11
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: the efficiency is just not there yet, right, I mean,

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: just just the completion percentages, the adjustment, the blitz is

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on that they're still trying to learn.

14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: But the ability to go to kJ Osborne and to

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: know that we're getting double teams on Jefferson Feelings getting

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: mugged and oh, by the way, they're not even calling

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, the past interference penalties. Most of the time

18
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: you get a bit of an answer, You get a

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: really good answer as to what they did to JJ.

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: What the defense is trying to do, but they can't

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: do it. To everybody. That's why it's so important to

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: have a number three like kJ Osborne. And you know

23
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: we knew kJ last year had a sneaky good year

24
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: almost seven hundred yards of receiving and how many of

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: those Paul were big plays on third down all throughout

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: the season. So for kJ to come back, hang in

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: there and make the big I mean, the catch could

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: be the catch of the season. This game is a

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: game that in the last couple of seasons we would

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: have lost right in the changes that it makes a

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: divisional game two and one, two and one in the

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: division right now. It is a huge, huge, I mean

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: for a Week three type victory. This was huge and

34
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: now you know, now we just got to keep building

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: on it. Go to London, beat up on a Saints

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: team that really isn't that healthy. A lot of things

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: now are kind of turning our way. We know what

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: we got to figure out. But my goodness, these guys

39
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: hung in there. And that's a tip of the captain

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell keeping these guys going. Yeah, the Vikings' next

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: play in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against a Saints

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: team that indeed lost to the Carolina Panthers today. But

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: back to the lesson at hand, we have not only

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: Between the Lines, but Kevin O'Connell's press conference coming up,

45
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins press conference, and Ron Johnson's new bit called

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: three Takes, which debuted last game. Kirk finishes twenty four

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: or forty one, two sixty, a couple of touchdowns, no picks,

48
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: and for a second consecutive game, Justin Jefferson held in

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: check six targets, only three catches fourteen yards, but kJ

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: Osborne eight targets, five catches seventy three yards, including the

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown Adam thieland eight targets, six reception sixty

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: one yards. His touchdown was the fiftieth receiving touchdown of

53
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: his career and the Vikings beat the Lions twenty eight

54
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: twenty four. Gabe Henderson and Ben Lieber with Between the

55
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Lines Boys take it away. Welcome to a winning edition

56
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: of Between the Lines, fueled by Gatorade. My name is

57
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Gabe Henderson. I'm alongside Ben Lieber and Ben you just

58
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: wrapped up. You're a one on one with head coach

59
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell following today's twenty eight to twenty four win

60
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: over the Detroit Lions. What were your thoughts on your

61
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: conversation with him regarding this win today. Well, obviously he

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: was really excited. I mean I walk into the front

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: part of the locker room and you know, although I

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: can't see anybody in the players, but I heard a

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: lot of hooting and hollerand a lot of celebration, you know,

66
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: a lot of high fives all that stuff. And you know,

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: I go in with coach O'Connell and you know, he's

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: still his kind of reserve self, but big smile on

69
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: his face. I think, a big sense of relief. You know,

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: he knew it was going to be a grind against

71
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: this team. He knew that. He's like, this is a

72
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: tough football team, like they play a great brand of football.

73
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: We knew it was gonna be hard. We just had

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: to stay resilient. He just kept saying, we got to

75
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: be resilient. He talked about it last week, how he's

76
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: we got a battle adversity, not only diversity in the

77
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: game that they're play on playing on Monday night, but

78
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: all through the week and then today they did just that.

79
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: The word resiliency. The Vikings were down early fourteen zero

80
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: climbed back into the game down seventeen and fourteen out

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: a half. Then going into the fourth quarter they were

82
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: down ten points again two straight touchdowns. What did you

83
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: see from first half to second half that kind of

84
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: helped this Vikings team be resilient and get on the

85
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: winning side. Well, it's interesting, like I think when they

86
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: when they knew that we had to throw the ball

87
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: and pass the ball, that's when they became more vulnerable.

88
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: They had a lot of defensive penalties, a lot of

89
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: holding on Adam feeling they're doing a great job of

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: being physical with Justin Jefferson the line of scrimmage, so

91
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: they kind of erased him off the board. But then

92
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: I opened up everything everything else for Justin Jefferson as

93
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: we saw later in the game with with kJ Osborne.

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: So I think when we when we knew that we

95
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: had to throw the ball and they and they knew

96
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: that we had become one dimensional, it actually exposed them

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: a little bit with I think some of the weaknesses

98
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: that they have in the secondary. We saw that. You know,

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Coach O'Connell even just told me in the interview that

100
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: he was kind of designing some plays as the game

101
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: was going on based off of the things that they

102
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: were taking away. So went off, stripped off the playbook

103
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: a little bit, had to improvise and it worked out.

104
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: How do you feel like that helps this team going forward?

105
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Because every team is going to put their number one

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: cornerback when Justine Jefferson, he only had three receptions fourteen

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: yards today, But how does that help to help the team?

108
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: Understanding that Adam Thaling who had sixty one receiving yards

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: today and kJ Osborne who had a game winning touchdown

110
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: can contribute to this offense. Well, I think it builds

111
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: trust first and foremost because just like I was saying,

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: you can come in with a game plan and they're

113
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna take some of those things away. So what can

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: you do on the fly to make adjustments? We talk

115
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: about sideline adjustments all the time, We talk about halftime

116
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: adjustments all the time. West Phillips offensive up in the

117
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: booth communicating things that he's seen down in the field

118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: to coach O'Connell. And like you said, I think when

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: you can come up with a game plan on the fly,

120
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna build up a lot of trust with the

121
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: offensive players that hey, this guy knows what he's Doyeah.

122
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: All right, so let's let's not freak out, let's not

123
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: get over our skis a little bit. We know that

124
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: we got a smart staff that's gonna find some ways

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: to get our guys open. Man, getting our guys open

126
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: as a number one key to this offense in ordering

127
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: to scoring touchdowns and winning football games. But moving to

128
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, we held those guys

129
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: to four yards per carry. We didn't get many pressures, though.

130
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: How do you think that balanced out this game ultimately

131
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: given us a win today? Well, I do think that

132
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: we got a little bit lucky with DeAndre Swift's ankle injury.

133
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was an issue going into

134
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: the game. We didn't know how well he was going

135
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: to perform. He came out and performed very well in

136
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: the first quarter, but then you could see him a

137
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: couple of times get dinged up, limp off to the sidelines.

138
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: And now, look, Jamal Williams is a great runner as well,

139
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: not quite the same dynamic ability as DeAndre Swift. So

140
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: I think we dodged a bullet a little bit when

141
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: it comes to their rushing attack. They were not at

142
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: full strength. Now we do have some things to clean

143
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: up when it comes to coverage. Okay, so many times

144
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: that we have on third down, especially, they would run

145
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: away from leverage from the out side. They'd run across

146
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: the field. Our second level defense, our linebackers, and our

147
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: safeties nowhere to be found. So we got to figure

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: out what is going on there. Because that's two weeks

149
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: in the row. Now, we've had a big time middle

150
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: of the field vulnerabilities in the past game. I feel

151
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: like the pass rush kind of goes hand in hand

152
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: with that, right, not many hurries today, zero sacks. How

153
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: does that complement what we want to continue to do

154
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: on defense and getting pressures and hopefully interceptions. Well that

155
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: that definitely has to be cleaned up as well. You know,

156
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: we brought a lot more pressure early in this game.

157
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: We did not pressure very much against the Eagles. We

158
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: sat back and sort of watched everything in front of us.

159
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Ed Dontell did doubt some more pressures in the first

160
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: quarter and as the game gone along, So there wasn't

161
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: a lot of pressures because of that, which is unfortunate.

162
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: I see us on the outside, we're rushing too much

163
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the players. Okay, you know,

164
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: we're not picking an edge. Okay, we're not working our

165
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: technique on the edge of our defenders. Danielle had a

166
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: couple nice rushes on the inside spin, the ball just

167
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: came out too quick. So I think they had a

168
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: good plan for us when it comes to getting the

169
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: ball out quick. But we got to fix those issues

170
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: because you can't go through the rest of the season

171
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: not affect the quarterback very much. And going into this

172
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: upcoming Sunday matchups game in London against the New Orleans Saints,

173
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston another game two interceptions, they lost it to

174
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. I know we haven't watched much film

175
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: on those guys, but just understanding the history between the

176
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: Saints and the Vikings, I feel like it always comes

177
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: down to a big play. So whether the Vikings need

178
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: to fix going into that game, well, just like I said,

179
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: I think they have to. They have to affect Jamie's

180
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: because he is banged up, right. I think we all

181
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: understand that he's got some some vertebrate issues. You know,

182
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: even when he's healthy, he's gonna throw the ball into

183
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,239
Speaker 1: coverage at times, so we have to make him uncomfortable.

184
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: We got to get him to run around. He's not

185
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback. We need to affect the middle of

186
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: the rush lanes to get him outside the pocket, force

187
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: him outside the pocket, which is different than you would

188
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: say like a Kyler Murray or something like that. But

189
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: he is a he is a status quarterback that I

190
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna make a lot of poor decisions when

191
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: he's on the run. So see if we can get

192
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: some pressure in the A and B gaps. Vikings went

193
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty four. Another short week. According to

194
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: travel Wise, we get out there a few days early,

195
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: so the Vikings have to hurry up, recover, rest and

196
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: get ready to beat through New Orleans, Saintans and London.

197
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: So Vikings fans, looking forward to seeing you out there.

198
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: If not looking forward to watch seeing you, watch it

199
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday for Ben Leeber. My name is Gabe Henderson.

200
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: This is between the Lines fueled by Gatorade. Thanks Gabe.

201
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell is undefeated at home, beating Green Bay and Detroit.

202
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: The Vikings are two in one. Here's Koc's postgame press conference. Obviously,

203
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: I know people are still filing in, so proud of

204
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: our team, so proud of you know, there was a

205
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: lot a long list of of you know, adversity throughout

206
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: that football game dating back to last week. All our

207
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: guys do is continue to believe, believe in each other

208
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: and we're going to continue to improve as a football team.

209
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: But for us to be at our best when it

210
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: was required and play complimentary football all the way we

211
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: did to finish it. Um, it's good to have that feeling,

212
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, both times we've been at us Bank Stadium

213
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: against the divisional opponent. Now we've we've come back into

214
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: the locker room to to some some feelings of really

215
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: understanding that we believe in each other, we believe in

216
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: our team, but that we can continue to improve and

217
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: be at our best moving forward. But I'm so proud

218
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: of our guys. Unbelievable to have our legends in town

219
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: this weekend, be around on our team. And as I

220
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: told those guys last night, UM, never underestimate their power

221
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: and their influence to you know, be what our guys

222
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: may need to see and see their camaraderie, how how

223
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: together they are still years and years and years later, Um,

224
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: the great history of our team. We got a lot

225
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: to play for, including those guys. We got a lot

226
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: to be proud of UM. But first and foremost today

227
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: was about those players in there. A great day for

228
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: our uh you know a lot of guys on our

229
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: team who needed to step up and like I said,

230
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things will do better and need to

231
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: work on, and we got a tough task ahead with

232
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: a good football team obviously in London. Well'll come back

233
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: when like that hamp with this and carry over effect

234
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: for this game, Yeah, I think so. I think there's

235
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: it's one thing to rep a lot of those situations

236
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: in practice. It's one thing, you know, to do it

237
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: in competitive ways when you can, but to do it

238
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: at home with our great fans just being that extra

239
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: edge that we needed there late. But you know, give

240
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: them a lot of credit. They did some things defensively

241
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: that you know, caused us to kind of have to alter,

242
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, our plan that we came in with, especially

243
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: in the passing game. UM I thought late Kirk was

244
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, fantastic on that final drive. Able to execute

245
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: some things that quite honestly we didn't necessarily have up

246
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: on the call sheet, but we found a way to

247
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, go out there all eleven and execute and

248
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: thought the old line had a huge final sequence there

249
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: given Kirk time um to attack their kJ obviously showing

250
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: up huge Kirk users long receivers that he did again

251
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: the day, you guy says, and I see open players,

252
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: not numbers. Yeah, is that what we saw to day? Yeah.

253
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: I think it was a combination of a couple of things.

254
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: They Kirk did a great job, you know, keeping his

255
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: eyes up reading coverage. They were doing some things schematically

256
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: obviously to take away justin and we'll continue to have

257
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: tools at our Disposal'll try to counter out counteract that obviously,

258
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: But they did a good job defensively. I thought there

259
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: was a few competitive plays that they could have gone

260
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: either way as far as possibly h you know, a

261
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: grab or tug the way technique wise they were playing.

262
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: But ultimately, when our guys needed to they overcame that.

263
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: They overcame, you know, at times us not having the

264
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: cleanest execution, but situationally when it mattered for Kirk to

265
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: do what he did and lead that group. I think

266
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: that says a lot about our football team. And then

267
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: love the way we closed it out with Mattelis making

268
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: that pick. Yeah, what were your thoughts on the defense?

269
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: You know, they gave up a decent amount of yards,

270
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: but they kind of stepped up at the end when

271
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: they had to do they really did. You know, you'd

272
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: like to think over the course of that kind of

273
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and and and when we were able to

274
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: get the drive to make it twenty four twenty one,

275
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: you'd like to think we wouldn't need another one or

276
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: another defensive stand without having the lead, and they were

277
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: obviously able to We went forward on that fourth down.

278
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: You know, obviously liked the look there, but you know,

279
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: didn't get it done offensive, but understanding the defense is

280
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: going to pick you up. We might not have any timeouts,

281
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: we might have to cover a lot of ground in

282
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: short amount of time, but we've got just the guys

283
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: to do it, and our quarterback did a great job

284
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: taking us down the field. Kevin, did it looked like

285
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: at some point you had a conversation with Justin on

286
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: the sideline. Was he frustrated? Well, it's just it's just

287
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: one of those things with great, great players, you know, uh,

288
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: you know, in this league and the coaching that goes on,

289
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: they do things to try to take away what you

290
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: do best. And you know, I think the way we're

291
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: able to run the football the way we're able to

292
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: get you know, Adam and kJ and some of these

293
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: other guys opts in the passing game is because of

294
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson dictating a lot of coverage, dictating how runs

295
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: are fit, dictating how they play on the edges. So

296
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: Justin had a huge impact on this game. It just

297
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: didn't show up in the stat sheet. But that's not

298
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: good enough. That's not good enough. I've got to do

299
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: a better job given Justin you know, different you know,

300
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: aspects of lining up in different spots, different personnel groupings,

301
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: whatever I need to do to help him, because he's

302
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: an ultra competitor and we'll get him going. But you know,

303
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: the first guy celebrating with kJ Osborne when he scores

304
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: that touchdown is Justin Jefferson. And he's a great teammate.

305
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: Although he doesn't have a sea on his chest, you know,

306
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: I know our guys view him as one of our leaders,

307
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: and we relied on him today to maintain and just

308
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: keep on pushing. And you know, I have a lot

309
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: of respect for how Justin handled today, but put it

310
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: on me to you know, obviously do a better job

311
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: getting him open. You mentioned how you had a lot

312
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: of things late in the game that weren't necessarily on

313
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: the call sheet. What got you to the point where

314
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: you had to kind of reaching your back pockets up set. Yeah,

315
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: I think it's that combination that a week ago, I

316
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: didn't do a good enough job staying true to who

317
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: we want to be from an offensive philosophy standpoint, and

318
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: then I thought the way our defense was playing, and

319
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: especially in the second half, you know that we could

320
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: stay in our normal offensive rhythm while still trying to

321
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: get some chunks, and then kind of late there we

322
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: didn't have any timeouts left. I knew that I didn't

323
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: want to be in a situation where we kind of

324
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: dinked and dunked and hey, get up on the ball,

325
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: go fast, and all of a sudden, we're playing to

326
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: try to you know, I wanted to score. I wanted

327
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: to score touchdown. I wanted to win this football game

328
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: in front of our fans in regulation. Put maximum pressure

329
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: on those guys the way, Quite honestly, they did a

330
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: lot of the day with just how gritty and tough

331
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: of a football team that is. But that's when you

332
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: just have to continue work and put your head down.

333
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Adversity is only going to be you know, one snap

334
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: away in this league for you individually collectively, per side

335
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: of the ball, and you just got to meet the

336
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: moment and rely on your leadership and trust the guys

337
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: around you in those huddles to get it done. And

338
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: that's that's what I think you saw today. But well,

339
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: there'll be some moments that we'll be able to go

340
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: back and look on and think that we could have

341
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, had some earlier success in some critical moments

342
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: as well, So we got to get better from it.

343
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Was that even a thought process you have before that

344
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: final drive play for field goals, try to score a touchdown?

345
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: Are you just like that isn't even? And it obviously is.

346
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: And and knowing I got all the confidence in Greg

347
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: in the world, um, you know, knowing that we put

348
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: them out there for two fifty four plus yarders, I think, um,

349
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: and he'll continue to knock those, knock those in. Um,

350
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: My confidence will not waiver in Greg, and everybody in

351
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: that locker room feels the same way. But I did know,

352
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, if we could, if we could manipulate some

353
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: things and kind of get kjor potentially Adam running, I

354
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: knew we could protect with the way our guys were

355
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: protecting up front Um that we could possibly get some

356
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: explosives explosives and at least put that pressure on them

357
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: m to kind of not be dictating to us, and

358
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: we got them kind of on their heels a little

359
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: on that drive and defense was able to come out

360
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: and get a stop with that remaining time. If you've

361
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: already answered this, but Cookum, do you know what his situation? Yeah, no,

362
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: you I have not answered that. And Dalvin just had

363
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, a little a little bit of a shoulder

364
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: deal that kind of came up on that fumble. Unfortunate

365
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: with him being three yards away from you know, his

366
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: first hundred yard day Um and thought he played phenomenal.

367
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: I thought alex Um was really really solid those kind

368
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: of one two punch that we have. But he'll be

369
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: day to day. We'll run some tests, we should have

370
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: some time, uh to hopefully get him turned over. And

371
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: he's already told me after we after we scored, you know,

372
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: I asked him how he was doing. He said, I'll

373
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: be out there next week. Now. We'll do what's best

374
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: for obviously Dalvin and make sure that Tyler and urayah

375
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: uh and our doctors make those decisions, but what a

376
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: competitor and and really proud of the work he put

377
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: in today and knowing that we would come back to

378
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: him after not getting him the rock enough last Monday

379
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: after a tell Us interception that looked like you and

380
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: and kind of yeah, so what was behind that? Well,

381
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: you know he was. He was pretty fired up, and

382
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: I was too. I just wanted to tell him how

383
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: proud I was of him and and his guys, and

384
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: I know they wanted to get that ball back to

385
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: in the game. Um, so he was. It was fun

386
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: to see him like that. There U still pretty soil

387
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: old man, still got a little strength to them. So

388
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: but now you could just feel the emotion of the

389
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: whole stadium understanding how important it was for us to

390
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: persevere and rally and like I said, unbelievable effort by

391
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: our fans today when we had to have it in

392
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: those critical moments. You know you've felt them, you know

393
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: right where they need to be, and we're going to

394
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: need that. You know, as many times as we get

395
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: to play at this at this stadium this year, what

396
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: did you think of how many times the Lions went

397
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: forward unfortune? But then were you surprised that they tried

398
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: to fifty four year field goal d end when they've

399
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: been going forth so much in fourth down. No, I

400
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: think I think that a lot goes into those decisions.

401
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: M you know, we went for it a couple of

402
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: times today as well, and um, I think you're just

403
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: constantly managing, you know, what's more important getting those points

404
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: right there, possibly giving us a short field where field

405
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: goal could be you know, within reach, and then maybe

406
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: we could be more aggressive or try to go for

407
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: it and end the football game, you know, on the grass.

408
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: And um, I think it probably tempted him a lot

409
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: to try to go for it in that momentum, but

410
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: just a huge credit to our defense getting that stop

411
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: and then feeling like we, uh, you know, we had

412
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: a chance to go win that football game regardless. Yeah,

413
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: I mean it's either they either get that stop or

414
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: there's no use in momentum anymore because the game is

415
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: probably gonna be over. But I think you felt it,

416
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: and you felt those defensive guys coming off, you know

417
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: there they feel they're they're letting our offensive guys going

418
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: on the field. Hey, now's the time. And I think

419
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: when you can respond in those moments, when you look

420
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: at you know at one another, and you know, this

421
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: is it. This is when you either go win the

422
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: football game or you don't. U when you come back

423
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: in with the victory and know that we earned every

424
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: bit of it, every bit of it against a good

425
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: football team, I think there can be some real growth

426
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: moving forward and belief. You know, if and when that

427
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: inevitable adversity hits again. What's like to see Josh get

428
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: his hands on the ball right before the interception too,

429
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 1: and just the way that he's kind of worked its

430
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: way up especial teams, it's ready for them all. Yeah,

431
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: for sure, I thought he k was gonna get that

432
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: one there as well. But you know, I got a

433
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in our defense in those moments. You know,

434
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: we situationally prepared this football team, UM in a way

435
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: that I think we feel very comfortable in those two

436
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: minute moments, those end of game situations on both sides. UM.

437
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: And you know, when Josh made that interception to end

438
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: that thing, got a little pressure there to move him

439
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: off the spot. But Jared Goff, you know, I thought

440
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: he played really well and and and kind of was

441
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: a real challenge and they've got great skill and able

442
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: to run the ball. So, um, that's a tough that's

443
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: a tough outfit that we're gonna have to see again

444
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: obviously in Detroit. But you know, got a lot of

445
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: respect for that team over there, and one of the

446
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: reasons why I'm so dang proud of our guys for

447
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: beating a good football team, you know, when we had

448
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: to come from behind. Speaking of situation. Speaking of situationally,

449
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: did you at the end of the first half, did

450
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: you want to delay the game there ball? Yeah? I

451
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: mean I think we all saw you know that, uh,

452
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, not to to ref rents that Cowboy forty

453
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: nine er game from last year's playoffs, but uh, you know,

454
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: there was there was a feeling with this crew, um

455
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: of that being some relevance to them in this game. Um,

456
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: and uh, I think they were worried about the functioning

457
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: of you know, which they did. They did a great job.

458
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna get that ball set. But I did see, um,

459
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: something pretty blatant on that one that makes it a

460
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: little hard within the rules to get that ball clocked.

461
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: But that would have been another opportunity for Greg to

462
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: possibly knock in a field goal and get three right there.

463
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Uh So, UM, I thought, I like the way we

464
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: were aggressive there. You know, we get the screen early on,

465
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: then then Kirk hits a couple of things there and

466
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: we kind of got the ball across the fifty and

467
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, one second too much with how that play

468
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: played out. But we'll we'll have to improve and really

469
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: coach our guys off of that that that's a real

470
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: possibility that the other team can knock the ball out

471
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: of your hands and and somehow it won't be a penalty.

472
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh no, I was gonna I mean, I know,

473
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: Greg and missed a couple long ones, um, you know,

474
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: or at least one at that point. Um, he's I'm

475
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: going to continue to give him long opportunities, especially in

476
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: those moments where I do think that's a little bit

477
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: more of a high percentage play to let him turn

478
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: one loose, um than a hail Mary at that point. Yeah,

479
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: what did you see from Kurt? And player right is

480
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: the first time you've seen him come back and help

481
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: what I can. But yeah, just resilient. I mean, I

482
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: think there were some plays um in there where he

483
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: showed an incredible grit and toughness and made some real

484
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: plays we didn't always you know, convert. We didn't always

485
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: make the play. You know, there was a couple I

486
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: think back on we had kJ one time down the sideline,

487
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, a couple shots there to add him where

488
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: it's just competitive, good football. And then obviously there was

489
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: one I believe to IRV as well off of a

490
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: play pass kind of on a first and ten when

491
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: we were moving it pretty good. Um. Where we'll continue

492
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: to our execution level um when we're when we're locked in,

493
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: dialed in at all eleven um. You know, we'll know

494
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: it when we start those ops start being you know,

495
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: positive plays for us each and every time. But as

496
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: far as Kirk Cousins goes today, the toughness, the mental

497
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: toughness to us keep playing, just keep leading, relying on

498
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: the other ten guys in the huddle, but leading that

499
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: group out in front ready to go win it. In

500
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: the end, I think there's a lot to come, a

501
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: lot to be taken out of this game positive for

502
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: for Kirk and our offense. You know, in addition to

503
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: a lot, you know a lot of things we can

504
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: do better. Darius, I mean after going down there and

505
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: stays in the game, and yeah, he's a you know,

506
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: he knows those are his moments, you know, when we

507
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: get the lead, chance to go finish it in that

508
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: two minute, He's gonna give it everything he's got. Luckily

509
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: he was you know, down there for a play and

510
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: then able to come back in there and be a

511
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: part of you know, getting the rush on Jared, you know,

512
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: on that last play. So we got tough guys. We

513
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: got guys that love playing for one another, playing for

514
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: each other days like this or where you can really feel,

515
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: you know, the special part about what we're building and

516
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: then also understand that, you know, there's a lot we

517
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: can do better, uh, to not make it so hard

518
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: on ourselves sometimes. But once again, give credit to the Lions.

519
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: I was a heck of a football game. Just glad

520
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: we came out on top. Head coach of the minute

521
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: the Vikings, Kevin O'Connell. There there was a I would

522
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: say controversial moment late in the game. I think it

523
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: was controversial because the kicker for the Detroit Lions, Austin Cybert,

524
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: he is nineteen of thirty five lifetime from forty yards

525
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: and beyond, not fifty forty yards and beyond, and instead

526
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: of punting with the lead, the Dan Campbell coach of

527
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: the Lions, opted to try a fifty four yard field

528
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: goal with Cybert, who by the way, beat Greg Joseph

529
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: out of a job with the Cleveland Browns in twenty nineteen.

530
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: But nineteen of thirty five, how do you let that

531
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: guy kick and not punt? And that's that's an amazing question,

532
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: and that if this game has changed so much over

533
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: the decades, Paul, and the rule changes everything else. But

534
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: that's also another way with which this game has changed.

535
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: And you know, for them, to God, they've been pushing

536
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: it all night. I mean they went four for six

537
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: on fourth down sixty seven percent. That's I mean six

538
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: fourth down attempts. It resembled a ninety eight game down

539
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay when Tony Dungee went four on fourth

540
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: down every single series because he knew that's what he

541
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: had to do in order to win. So for Dan Campbell,

542
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some questions there and he's gonna have to,

543
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, answer him, and he's gonna have to double

544
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: either double down on his mentality of we are attack

545
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: all the time, or he's gonna have to step back

546
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: and play the odds a little bit more. And so

547
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm still in the in the how our offense had

548
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: been had been humming along. We got two touchdowns at

549
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: the end of the half, come out we had like

550
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: go three and out. We don't have a lot of momentum.

551
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: We get down by ten points. The offense hangs in there,

552
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: and you would think that make At that point Campbell

553
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: would say, all right, I trust my defense. Let's make

554
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: him go to the long field. Let's let's let's make

555
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: it as difficult for him as possible, and not in

556
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: like you keep pointing out, that was a huge risk

557
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: to let them take and you get the ball from

558
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: where the ball is put down, it's not from the

559
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage anymore. So beautiful fuel position for the

560
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: Vikings with fifty seconds to go, no time outs. I

561
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: mean that it was set up by him for us

562
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: so very well, and we made him pay for it.

563
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: Old schoolers. The Vikings beat a team from Detroit, Michigan,

564
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: which means that's the home of Mochown and the Detroit Lions.

565
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: So in Mochown like fashion, the twenty twenty four victory

566
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: has us on cloud nine, and indeed Vikings fans are

567
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: dancing in the streets. Were undefeated at home. So ain't

568
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: no mountain high enough and Kirk Cousins, we like that,

569
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: we like that, here's this pressor just great to win,

570
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: great to win at home against the divisional opponent, great

571
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: to finish the way we did. Was not a clean

572
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: game by us by any stretch. We need to play

573
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot better up ahead. But these are the kind

574
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: of games where you have to find the inches and

575
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: we were able to find him today. And we'll have

576
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about and coach and take coaching tomorrow. Um.

577
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: But it's a lot more enjoyable to do that after

578
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: a win. And sou it was just so fun to

579
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: hear how loud the stadium was the end of the

580
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: game there and and to live that and um and

581
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: be a part of it. So um, um take any

582
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: questions yet, think based on the play design, did he

583
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: think Osborne would be open there? No? No, Um expected

584
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: him to be covered and was thinking maybe Adam would

585
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: rip out open and then um, you know you kind

586
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: of go from there, but he popped. Was it hard

587
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: to time some passes? They seemed to be getting pretty

588
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: physical out Yeah, especially like feeling and yeah, yeah it

589
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: was it was they were doing a good job of

590
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: of in coverage and uh um timing was a little off.

591
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: Kevin said at the end of the game that he

592
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: had to go to some things that were probably right

593
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: at the top of the call sheet there. I guess

594
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: what changed the approach from your perspective or made it

595
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: more aggressive at the end of the game. A good question.

596
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: Um you know, I think they were. They were doubling

597
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: justin a fair amount in double the ball game, but

598
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: a fair amount, and so there were times where, um,

599
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, you had to be aware of that, and

600
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: then I think that's what allowed Adam and kJ to

601
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: get a few more opportunities. Also, a running game, I

602
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: was I was just pleased with he ran the football.

603
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: I felt like it's one thing to have a twenty

604
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: yard run and then a bunch of no yard runs

605
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: and then then the statue it shows you ran for

606
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: twenty yards, which you want to see all the churn runs,

607
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: and I felt like we were doing that. So much

608
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: of the game was getting positive run after positive run,

609
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: and that was that was really encouraging to see. So,

610
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: um you know that also helped. And uh um not

611
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: being good enough on third down I think it was

612
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: a problem today. Um you know, we got to be

613
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: able to convert a few more third downs, but then

614
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: being three for three in the red zone makes a

615
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: big difference. How do you think Jefferson handles a game

616
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: like this where other guys maybe got open because of him,

617
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: but his stats and dividually weren't as good. Yeah, no's

618
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: he's great. He just stayed the course. And you know,

619
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: this league, because you got you can't really size it

620
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: up until the dust settles and we're in February. I

621
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: mean that's really when you then look back and say, okay,

622
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: what what all transpired? You know a week to week

623
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: if you try to get you know, and create a

624
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: narrative around week to week, he can be all over

625
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: the map. So you just stay the course, keep playing,

626
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: and you know he's got a lot of great, great

627
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: games up ahead. Kirk, fourth quarter, you guys were bashing

628
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: against the wall, but you came up clutch. You know,

629
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: do you guys learn anything about yourself as a group

630
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: or a team with that comeback one? Well, I think

631
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: it's just encouraging to you know, find those inches at

632
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: the end and find a way. Um. So you know,

633
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: you want to be a team that's been there before

634
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: and done that and has done it consistently and so

635
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: today is a step in that direction for sure. Do

636
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: you like the aggressiveness at the end of half, So

637
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: that's good at deal first half instead of you guys

638
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: first of all, yeah, yeah, Kevin stayed aggressive at the

639
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: end of the half against Green Bay and also today, Um,

640
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, and had a good plan of how to

641
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: get us down the field. Um, so I think it's good.

642
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: The key for me, you know, whenever we do it is,

643
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, protect the football, avoid anything that could give

644
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: them a chance to get points. And so you you

645
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: got to be aggressive. You also got to avoid the

646
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: critic layer, and so you're you're aware of that as

647
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: you as you are aggressive when you inherit the ball

648
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: at around the forty and that last possession off the

649
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: misfield goal, because that sort of enhance your ability to

650
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: think touchdown there instead of just settling for the field goal. Um,

651
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about the next play. I think where

652
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: you're get in trouble is when you think touchdown and

653
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: you're on the minus forty. Um, I'm just thinking about

654
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: the next play and executing it and then being aware

655
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: we have no timeouts, and so talking to the guys

656
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: about Hey, we gotta get a bounce if we can.

657
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: We got to be ready to clock it if we

658
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: need to. We've got to, you know, be aware of

659
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: where field goal range is as we move forward. You know,

660
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking when we got down there because of Kj's

661
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: first catch, you know, I can't take a sack because

662
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: the sack would take us out of field goal range.

663
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: So you're aware of all these scenarios as you as

664
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: you go through it. When you were talking about kJ,

665
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: I think you said that he started showing up to

666
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: you in the two minute drills last year. Yeah, is

667
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: there something he does in those situations that is really

668
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: good or is it just that that's where his opportunities

669
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: came So much of a game plan. You devise to

670
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: try to get certain people opportunities, so you move people

671
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: around to create that. In the two minute you sort

672
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: of have guys in their spots and you don't really

673
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: move people around, so it ends up being a more

674
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: organic way of getting people to football, if that makes sense.

675
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: It just kind of happens whoever's open, And that's what

676
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: happened last year with kJ Lott in two minute was

677
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: he was now in primary spots where during the normal game,

678
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: he was in secondary tertiary spots, if you will. So

679
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: the plays he was making in two minute last year,

680
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,239
Speaker 1: I realized, there's a lot more to this guy than

681
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: maybe we're giving him the ops to do. And then

682
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: when you have Adam, Justin Dalve and Alex Madison urf Smith,

683
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: you know you don't feel the pressing need maybe to

684
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: give him those. But then in two minute again today

685
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: he he takes advantage of him and shows up. But

686
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 1: certainly the first catch he had I believe Justin was doubled.

687
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: So you also realized that, hey, Justin, Justin here is

688
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: allowing what's happening to happen. On the touchdown, you said

689
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: you didn't expect it be open. Now what are you

690
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: thinking when you see him flash that open and me

691
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: let it go? Um? Yeah, you just I mean, you

692
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: just you feel a rush, so you know you gotta

693
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: get released it quick. I don't know, there's a lot

694
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: of thoughts going through my head. You're just kind of um,

695
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, seeing grass and putting the ball out there

696
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: and then just making sure I threw it far enough.

697
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: You know, It's funny when I overthrew him on the

698
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: third down earlier in the game. I thought I underthrew

699
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: it as I got hit and I was releasing the

700
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: ball and fell down. I'm like, please be far enough,

701
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: and then it landed past him, and I'm I gotta

702
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: watch the film because I'm like, how in the world

703
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: is that not far? Was that too far? And the

704
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: same one on that one, I put it on him

705
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, please be far enough. I don't know

706
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: that I got enough on that and then it was

707
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: it was there, So I go back and figure out

708
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: my distances a little bit. But uh yeah, So anyways,

709
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been asked, but I mean,

710
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: has it felt like this offense has become I guess

711
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: more comfortable as the weeks of past or Yeah, we're

712
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: still getting there. We're still getting there, and um, I

713
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: think you can see today it's not it's not where

714
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: I want it to be, you know. And that's not

715
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a good plan. It's just you know,

716
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: time on task. Every game we're learning something, getting better,

717
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: but we just don't have time. We've got to We've

718
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: got to get it locked in. I was waiting for

719
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: you to show up here you are, I was I

720
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: was thinking I was gonna walk right out of here

721
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: and not even get to talk to you miss anything good? Nah,

722
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: what do we want? So it's what did you see

723
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: when looking back in like the touchdown runs by Dalton

724
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: by Alex? Yeah, on the past of dealing too. Yeah,

725
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: Alex's run for a touchdown was as a big as

726
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: a man's run. I mean, eventually there's an unblocked player

727
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: and he makes that guy miss, runs through an arm

728
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: tackle and it's just a big time run. And it's

729
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: so important there that you know you're on the four

730
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: or five yard line when you call that run, you're

731
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: expecting to be third and goal from the two, and

732
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: it just touchdown. I mean that just takes so much

733
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: pressure off of our third down offense, our red zone

734
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: offense off of us. So big time run by him

735
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: and Dalvin just all game long, you know, just extending runs,

736
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: making plays, making people miss, running hard. It's it's great

737
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: to have both of them because when when Dalvin goes down,

738
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 1: to have a guy who can do what Alex does

739
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: is a is just a huge benefit to our offense.

740
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: Did you it sounds like maybe you guys knew from

741
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: film that these guys were a grabby secondary. I just

742
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for Aaron Glenn, for Aubrey Pleasant,

743
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: their dB coach, and for those dbs. I think that

744
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: going back last year, I thought they had a good plan,

745
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: did a good job executing their plan. I think they're

746
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: well coached, and I think they're smart and and so

747
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think that shows in the way they

748
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: they cover and play. It's a business trip to go

749
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: to London, obviously, but what are your thoughts fun? Just

750
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: the whole environment getting ready for that kind of game

751
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: and kind of turning your head into a time difference,

752
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff and been playing in that environment. Yeah,

753
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: it's it's a unique opportunity. Wednesday is pretty similar. I

754
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: think Thursday. It's just when you would normally be heading home.

755
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: You're heading to the airport, you know, Thursday night and

756
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: Friday you wake, you get up off the plane Friday

757
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: morning in the UK and you're a zombie and you

758
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: go to your Friday practice and you fight through that.

759
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: You know, it takes maturity, It takes toughness to just

760
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: be able to say, I don't care how I feel,

761
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: I'll block that out and I got to dial in

762
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: on this red Zone plan and dial in on this

763
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: game plan and get something out of this practice, and

764
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: then you go back to the hotel and you kind

765
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: of go from there, and by Saturday you feel like

766
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: you're starting to get settled and and you go play,

767
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: and then you come back and you do that all

768
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: over again, feeling like a zombie on Monday and without

769
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: a buy after the game, you know, you've got short

770
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: time to adjust, so we get ahead of ourselves. But yeah,

771
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: we just gotta have a great meeting tomorrow and really

772
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: clean up what happened today because there's so much that

773
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough, and then go from there. How do

774
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: you feel about your last game? Man? I think you

775
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: threw for like four hundred fifty yards or something. Yeah,

776
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: we played at Wembley, which we're playing a different stated

777
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: in this time. You know, it's just a unique opportunity

778
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: to go over there and play, and you just like

779
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: any other NFL game, you just want to go out

780
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: there and execute and play at a high level and

781
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: and you know, find a way to get to win

782
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: and enjoy that. Playing right home, Kirk, is not every

783
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: day that you get to throw a game. Are a

784
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: touchdown pass lay in the fourth quarter to get you,

785
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: guys to leave just for you as a competitor a player.

786
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: How good did that feel? Yeah, it's awesome to be

787
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: able to to make those plays down the stretch. And

788
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: it's just fun to see someone like kJ make that

789
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: play too. It's fun to see the lineman, you know,

790
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: the way they're grinding, and then to see them celebrate

791
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: and know that you know, we got the job done there.

792
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: It's just a joy. And Kevin said it in the

793
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: locker room. You know that feelings addictive when you win

794
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: like that, I mean, you want to chase it. And

795
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: and so we're gonna keep doing that. Ron Johnson, former

796
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: game changing receiver for the undefeated Golden Gophers football team.

797
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: He offers up his three takes and here they are.

798
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: Thanks Pa, This is Ron Johnson Company from the k

799
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 1: Fans Studios, and here are my three takeaways from today's

800
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: Vikings Verse Lions game. Well, let's just get it out

801
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: there right away. The Vikings found away, they never gave up.

802
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: That's my takeaway. One. The Lions will always lyon. I

803
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: said that in the Vikings pregame show that the Lions

804
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: will find a way to lyon fourth and four. Dan

805
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: Campbell found a way to lose the game. That's the

806
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: only answer. But the Vikings never gave up. They still

807
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: had to come down. Kirk Cousins still had to find

808
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: a way to score. He had a nice completion to

809
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: get him down to the twenty eight and then it

810
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: was just a great play drawn up to get kJ

811
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: Alisburne wide opened. Former Viking Mike Hughes unfortunately was the

812
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: victim in that he made the wrong decision left kJ

813
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: Alsburne wide opened. Kevin O'Connell kind of played his cards.

814
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: Think you know what they're gonna think about Justin Jefferson.

815
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna think about Adam Feeling. They're gonna forget about

816
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: kJ Osborne, And they forgot about kJ Osborne. kJ Osborne,

817
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: just like last year with the big play to win

818
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: the game, he did it again this year. kJ Osborne

819
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: the unsung hero. They never gave up. They found a

820
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: way to win. And that's it. You I don't care

821
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: how the game went. You can say whatever you want.

822
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: You can say the Vikings shouldn't have won the game.

823
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: Maybe they shouldn't have. But at the end of the day,

824
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: it only matters one thing. Did they win or they lost?

825
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: They won and they found a way. My second takeaway

826
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: third down. So third down on the offensive side of

827
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: the ball for the Vikings has to improve. Two for

828
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: nine on third down that is not going to win

829
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: you games against good teams. The Lions are a decent team.

830
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: I thought they were good before this, but they just

831
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: showed you their true colors of still making rookie mistakes.

832
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: But Dan Campbell will learn from this. But third down

833
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: on the defensive side, they did well. They held the

834
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: Lions to three for sixteen. Did give up a couple

835
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: of fourth downs, but three for sixteen on third down

836
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: to hold their offense was a great job by the

837
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: Vikings defense. So the Vikings defense just needs to continue

838
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: on what they're doing, and if the Vikings offense can

839
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: find a way to convert some of those third downs,

840
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: this offense goes to another level. It's already a good offense,

841
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: but it can get a lot better if they find

842
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: a way to convert some of these third downs. But

843
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: here's a weird stat getting first downs. They had thirty

844
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: first downs converted. That was twenty eight first downs on

845
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: first or second down. That is crazy. Twenty eight on

846
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: first or second down. They did have a couple of

847
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: fourth downs as well, but it came down to it

848
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: where they got put in the fourth down way too often.

849
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: Should not have happened the way it happened. But again

850
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: going back to point number one, they found a way

851
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: to win and you can't deny that. But here's some

852
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: things to think about third down. Maybe this Vikings offense

853
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: is going to try to be one of the best

854
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: first and second down offenses in the NFL, and I

855
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 1: think that's the key. But third down, again, if you're

856
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: facing third down, you have to find a better way.

857
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: You have to come up with some better play calling.

858
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, though this is his his first year, he's a

859
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: rookie head coach, he's a rookie play caller because we

860
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: know Sean McVay call the plays with the Rams, so

861
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna learn from this as well. But the Vikings

862
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: offense has to improve on third down. Two for nine

863
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: and again, like I said, against like the Dolphins the Bills,

864
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: that's not gonna get it done. And then my last

865
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: take away from this game is feeling and Osbourne stepped

866
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: up justin. Jefferson had a very quiet day. The Lions

867
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: flat out said, you know what, We're not gonna let

868
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson beat us. You saw the Eagles say the

869
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: same thing, the Packers didn't do it, and what happened.

870
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling gets a touchdown, kJ Osborne gets a huge

871
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: touchdown and they both step up with eight targets. Eight

872
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: targets went to other guys, then other guys in Justin

873
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: Jefferson when he comes to the receiving room and those

874
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: eight a piece where kJ Osborne and Adam Feeling. You

875
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: saw Adam Feeling early with a great play design and

876
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: then again kJ Osborne with a great play design to

877
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: end the game. So Kevin O'Connell is gonna have to

878
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: do that a little bit more. Kirk Cousins is gonna

879
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: have to stop thinking he has to go to Justin

880
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: Jefferson every time, because I think more than not, what's

881
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: gonna started to happen. If the season goes on, if

882
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: he spreads the ball around like this, then Justin Jefferson's

883
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: gonna go back to getting single covered like he did

884
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: last year, where teams you cannot just sit on Jefferson

885
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: double him. Brackett feeling well, if kJ Osbour is gonna

886
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: get one on one against a guy like Mike Hughes,

887
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna win nine times out of ten. So that's

888
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: my third takeaway feeling and Osborne found a way to

889
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: step up and that to do it. For my three

890
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: takeaways from today's game of the Vikings and a Lions.

891
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: Back to you at the stadium, Pa, Thank you, Ron

892
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: four Pete versus. I'm Paul Allen. That is the postgame

893
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: report podcast. Thank you very much for listening. The Vikings

894
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: beat the Detroit Lions twenty twenty four and improve to

895
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: two and one and an undefeated two and oh at home. Hey, fellas,

896
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: when we talked on Tuesday of this last week, we knew,

897
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: we knew that we didn't play our best ball last week.

898
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: But not only did we have to persevere a week

899
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: of preparation where you guys prepared, but I saw the

900
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: look in your eye all week long that no matter

901
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: what the captained out there today, we were gonna come

902
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: in here for the second time with this feeling right here.

903
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: All right, it's addicting, man to come in here with

904
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: you guys and see these looks on your faces. Know

905
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: when you just earned that against a good football team.

906
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna play again, all right, There are all kinds

907
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: of things we could do better across the board. But

908
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: what I love the most. As adversity hit, we could

909
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: have been checked out. We could have looked across and said, no,

910
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: you know what, we're doing our thing today, but they

911
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: ain't doing their job, not one come. So yeah, yeah,

912
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: we're two and oh with the vision and we're two

913
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: and oh at home. But we just learned a whole

914
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: lot more about our team and our heart than that

915
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: right there. So lock this away. We got a hell

916
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: of a week ahead of us. We're traveling to a

917
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: different continent to take this slay. Disbelief is understanding of

918
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: who we are as a football team. You go on

919
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: the road with this thing, you guys, what mean you

920
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: guys gonna be Kike. That's gonna get a break down.

921
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: You
