31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: things things are going and just being able to kind

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 4: of look over what their.

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: Vikings have been doing.

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: So Tatum being able to spend some time with him

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: out in La at NFL Network is awesome. We kind

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: of talked about that last week a little bit, just

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: the partnership of being able to work with NFL Network

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: so should be you know, pumping out tons of content

39
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 4: here and just getting all the inside information as to

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: what they think the Vikings are potentially going to do

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: here in the outcoming draft.

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an exciting time just thinking about how

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: things have transpired from the starter free agency, trying to

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: figure out if Kirk Cousins was going to resign. We

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: didn't know what that looked like until after the combine.

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 2: So a couple of the interviews that are coming out

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: this is kind of I guess recapping. Hey, look forget

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: everything we talked about pre combined because everything has changed

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: now the Vikings have two first round picks. A lot

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: of people are thinking the Vikings are going to go

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: quarterback in the first round. If that's the case, just

52
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: due to Kirk Cousins not being here, who was here

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: for the past six years. So trying to figure out

54
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: where this Vikings team stand. Jay, we can't speculate. But

55
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: every time I know you and I talked off air,

56
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: every time we turn on X or Twitter, there is

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: always some new Vikings news of well, this is what

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: the Vikings are thinking, or this is what the Vikings

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: will do. How have you assessed the vibe the temperature

60
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: of the theme this year versus your lifelong career of

61
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: being a Vikings fan.

62
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: To me, this is always kind of that No Man's

63
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: Land subtrifuge. There's always something spinning, and it's like, you know,

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 4: the somebody throws out an opinion and then you see

65
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: other people pick up on it and debate that opinion,

66
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 4: and then they're running back and forth and it's is

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 4: it this guy or is it that guy?

68
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: And what are we going to do?

69
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 4: And I think, you know, typically whenever you're a team

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: that has some sort of a larger roster change, especially

71
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: at the quarterback position like we did this year, I

72
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: kind of look at that as like the delineation line

73
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: of you know, like you said, it was kind of

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: the the pre speculation too. Now the reality of where

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: we currently are. I think, you know, in past years,

76
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: when you've had higher draft picks, that's when people really

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: the noise in the chatter really starts to turn. We're

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: at that point now, like we were talking about, you know,

79
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: we're three weeks out from the draft, so things are

80
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: starting to really kind of come to a peak. You're

81
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: going to get a ton of different speculation from whether

82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: it's experts or former players or current players or whatever else.

83
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 4: Everyone's going to ask their opinion, especially for a team

84
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: like the Vikings that's now looking for a quarter you know,

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: possibly looking for a quarterback in the draft, and on

86
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: top of that has two first round picks, so it

87
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: just kind of shows that there is intrigue and interest

88
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: there not only what was going to happen with Kirk Cousins,

89
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: but now that we know that, now that you have

90
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: those two higher draft picks, you have the ability to

91
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: kind of flex your muscles and be able to potentially

92
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 4: move around if you choose to. So I just think,

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: you know, for a lot of fans and a lot

94
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: of people out there, whether it's local or national, the

95
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: Vikings are an intriguing team to see what decisions they

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: do make here in the upcoming draft.

97
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a really good points. Just there are

98
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: a lot of burning questions. I know we were talking

99
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: a little bit just from looking at NFL dot COM's website.

100
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: Every team has a burning question that a lot of

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: the analysts are asking, and the number one burning question

102
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: for this Minnesota Vikings team is are they really going

103
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: to proceed with Sam Donald as QB one. We knew

104
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: that Sam Donald is one of over a dozen free

105
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: agency signings that the Vikings have had, but when you

106
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: look at the NFL perspective from a large scope, the

107
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: quarterback is usually the.

108
00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: Identity of the team.

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: So when you think about that and you think about

110
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: what Kevin o'conno has said, about Sam Donald having understood

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: that they their height. They are two completely different ages,

112
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: but they've had some similarities in the past. They're high

113
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: schools that they both went to, that they both attended,

114
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: are thirty minutes apart in California. Sure, they've had numerous

115
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: conversations prior to Sam Donald becoming a Viking in the

116
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 2: fast forward to now, Sam Donald, this is his first

117
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: time having an offensive minded head coach, a guy that

118
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: or a quarterback friendly head coach that thinks the way

119
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: he does. And we've heard Kevin O'Connell say, look, I

120
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: am going to be in our quarterback room a little

121
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: bit more. I'm going to shift some of these responsibilities

122
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: on my other coaches to make sure that this next

123
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: guy who calls plays is going to have my identity

124
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: and this identity of this offense. So, answering that burning question,

125
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: Sam Donald is QB one right now, what are your

126
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: thoughts right now?

127
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: My thoughts are basically, Sam Donald is coming into an

128
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: offense where he's got a ton of weapons around him,

129
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 4: and guy, like you said, having a offensive minded head

130
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: coach as somebody to help kind of guide and steer

131
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: where this offense is going to go. I think it's

132
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: custom set for a guy like Sam Darnold to come

133
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 4: in here and be able to kind of have the

134
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: entire playbook and everything kind of set at his feet

135
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 4: to say, you know, this is the ideal situation of

136
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: what we could get out of here. So for them,

137
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: it's going to be a process of during the off

138
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 4: season and in season trying to evaluate what they fully

139
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: got here with Sam. So like Sam is going to

140
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: be set up to be as comfortable and basically as

141
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: kind of catered to as possible when it comes to

142
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 4: this offense, having weapons and everything else around him, then

143
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 4: it just turns around to you know what do the

144
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: coaches and everybody assess as far as what they're seeing.

145
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: So for Sam, he's going to have a prime opportunity

146
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 4: here to be able to step into the building and

147
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 4: really command this offense, and it's going to be up

148
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: to him to make those moves during the season to

149
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: actually make it fit.

150
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you on that. I mean, just

151
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: looking at our current roster, our current our current team

152
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: right now, like we still have three quarterback under contract.

153
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: We have Sam Donald, we have Jaron Hall, we have

154
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: Nick Mullens. Nick Mullens finished the season off strong. Last year,

155
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: Sam Donald was coming into a situation like you just said,

156
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: it's a QB friendly offense, and then Jaren Hall is

157
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: making that next step from year one to year two.

158
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: So let's say the Vikings do draft a quarterback, they

159
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: do have three other guys that they can learn from.

160
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 2: If the Vikings don't draft a quarterback, they have guys

161
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: that have played in this system last year that can

162
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: ultimately make that next step in their career. So I'm

163
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: interested to see what that looks like under this Kevin

164
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: O'Connell's game. But it's just a very interesting offseason. Like

165
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: for me personally, this is the most excited I've been

166
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: heading into the draft because there's so many unknowns. I

167
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: know we talked about this before, but when I was

168
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: in Washington and Kevin O'Connell was the offensive coordinator in

169
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, there was a burning need for a quarterback

170
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: simply due to the fact that Alex Smith unfortunately broke

171
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: his leg. He broke his leg earlier in the year.

172
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: We knew we were going to draft a quarterback first round.

173
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: God rest his soul. We drafted Dwayne Haskins. I believe

174
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: with the fifteenth overall pick that year and everybody went nuts.

175
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: There was a buzz in Washington because everybody was excited

176
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: about what this new leader or what this new era

177
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: of football could be under that scheme and Kevin O'Connell.

178
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: So to have Kevin O'Connell kind of redo this all

179
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: over again. But as head coach, I'm exciting for fans

180
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: that are going through this with us.

181
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 4: I think the whole idea for most organizations is, you know,

182
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 4: if you can find a bona fide superstar quarterback, that

183
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: sets you up for success for a longer set of time.

184
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: So again, like you said, you've got you know, three

185
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 4: quarterbacks that are in there. Two of those quarterbacks have

186
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: been through the system before, so they should understand how

187
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 4: it works, the verbiage and be able to help the

188
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: other guys get up to speed. Having Sam signed as

189
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: early as they did through the free agency period gives

190
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: him maximum amount of time to work with those coaches.

191
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 4: Feels like, you know, with Josh's in the quarterback room

192
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 4: kind of leading the group. He's got a ton of

193
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: experience as well as a quarterback. And you know, like

194
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 4: we said, your head coach is a former quarterback and

195
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: kind of understands and knows what he's looking from that position,

196
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: so he's going to be able to verbalize exactly what

197
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 4: he's looking for. And as per our usual, you know,

198
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 4: these guys are all adults. They're big boys with their

199
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 4: big boy pants on. It's going to be on them

200
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 4: to understand that offense and work through it as much

201
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 4: as possible in order to be as comfortable and as

202
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 4: quick as they can so that you can kind of

203
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: figure out what the identity is because it's not just

204
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 4: a quarterback position here for this team that changed this offseason.

205
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: You have a change at running back, and you've got

206
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: to you know, you're trying to figure out what's going

207
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 4: to going on. Sounds like Hockinson's, you know, doing well

208
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: in his rehab. He's showing stuff on social media, but

209
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 4: just in general, the idea of trying to get everyone

210
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: on the same page and get that chemistry going in

211
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: the offense, I think they're going to do everything they

212
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 4: can as fast as they can to make sure that

213
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 4: everyone's comfortable.

214
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 3: I'm excited.

215
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: I'm excited just to kind of see, you know, how

216
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: all the dominoes somewhat fall in place between now and

217
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: the start of the Draft which is April twenty six.

218
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: Vikings fans make sure you go to Vikings dot com

219
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: slash Draft Party to attend this year's Merlo Light Draft

220
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: party at us Bank Stadium. It is going to be crazy,

221
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 2: is going to be a vibe, as the kids would say,

222
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: I will be there, Jay, You'll be there right.

223
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

224
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: So it's one of those things that it's always kind

225
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: of weird before some of us because there's the stuff

226
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: going out the stadium, there's the stuff going on back

227
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: here and just trying to figure out who's going to

228
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 4: be where. So we're gonna be doing a ton of

229
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: setup at the stadium getting everything ready. I know that

230
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: the game presentation department has already been putting a ton

231
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: of time into it and they're they're kind of, you know,

232
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 4: buttoning everything up and then we just got to go

233
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: and set everything up to be executed. So there's a

234
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: ton of efforts going into this. And there's some different

235
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: levels as far as different packages and stuff for the

236
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 4: draft party. So you can go there and just kind

237
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,000

238
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,679

Speaker 4: extra special offers that are out there, so go check

240
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 4: it out Vikings dot Com Draft Party. There's a it's

00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 4: open to the public completely at this point, and you know,

242
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 4: try to snag some of those special experiences because there's

243
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: some really cool stuff planned for that evening.

244
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to try to snag our producer Eric

245
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: Davison as my plus one usually doesn't attend draft party,

246
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: but this year, I'm going to make sure he's there. Personally,

247
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: I look at the draft party as I don't know

248
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: if it's like this for you, Jay, but you know,

249
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: after the last home game of the season, there's like

250
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: this lull of like nothing right. So the draft party

251
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: for me is like the first preseason game or the

252
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: first home game, because you finally get to get back

253
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: in the stadium, you finally get to be around fans,

254
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: and it ultimately makes me start looking forward to the season.

255
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: So thinking of home games, I know, the free agency,

256
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: I guess frenzy is starting to slow down, and just

257
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: looking at some of these opponents that we have. I

258
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: want to talk through some of these home opponents and

259
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 2: home games that we have this year and things that

260
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: I guess storylines that kind of stand out to you.

261
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: Starting with the Houston Texans. We know there is a

262
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: lot of talk right now talking about Jonathan Gernard, who

263
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: is our outside linebacker right now, who was in Houston

264
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: last year. Basically people were saying we traded him for

265
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: Daniel Hunter. Daniel Hunter is now their new elite pass

266
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: rusher down in Houston, and now those guys are on

267
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: our schedule. Add On to that, news just came out

268
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: the Stefan Diggs is the newest ride receiver for the

269
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. I believe he was traded there for a

270
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: second rounder from the Bills somewhere. I believe the Houston

271
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: Texans traded a second rounder in twenty twenty five.

272
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are multiple picks that was included.

273
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and in return, the Buffalo Bills traded him to

274
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: to the Houston Sexans. So there's a lot of storylines,

275
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot of familiarity. But what stands out to

276
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: you about that opponent right now as we speak.

277
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: Danil Diggs mixing even the idea of CJ. Stroud last

278
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 4: year really making that jump. They've got some crazy weapons

279
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 4: on both offense and defense. And to me, I think

280
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 4: the biggest storyline going especially from last year was just

281
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 4: how quickly they turned that entire team around as far

282
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 4: as being part of that division within the AFC Conference

283
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 4: and kind of the competitive nature of it, and all

284
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 4: of a sudden they were shot out of a cannon

285
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: last year with CJ. Stroud at the helm and Morris

286
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: head coach. So to me, the thing about the Texans

287
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 4: is that it's really kind of crazy to see how

288
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: much you think, like, hey, we got these guys and

289
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 4: we can kind of slow roll it and kind of

290
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: wean them into this whole thing. They are not on

291
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 4: that schedule right now. It feels like they are making

292
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: huge moves to try to say, we understand what we

293
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 4: got here. We got a young, hot rookie quarterback who's

294
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 4: going to go on into a sophomore year now, and

295
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 4: we are going to make as many moves as possible

296
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: to set up this franchise not only offensively but defensively

297
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: to support that. And I think there's a huge buzz

298
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 4: right now in Houston feeling like they got something special

299
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 4: just starting at the front end of a new regime

300
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 4: for that team.

301
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. To

302
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: your point, I mean, when you have a talented quarterback

303
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: still on a rookie deal for at least two or

304
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 2: three more years. You can build a team, you can

305
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: gather assets and pay them big money to help fill

306
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: a few voids, to get yourself a position to play

307
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: for a Super Bowl. Well, their their window is right now,

308
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: and we saw that last year.

309
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: And I think the other thing too, that was saying

310
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: kind of the division is feels wide open. You know,

311
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like Jacksonville, Tennessee or Indianapolis are really

312
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: you know, got a stranglehold on that division right now.

313
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 4: So all those teams were kind of in a little

314
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 4: bit of an arms race trying to make some moves here,

315
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 4: and you saw, you know, a bunch of moves with

316
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 4: Jacksonville and even Indy. There's just a ton of a

317
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: feeling like right now their window is opening. I hate

318
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: to say it just because it's a comparison within our

319
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 4: own division, but to me, right now, Houston kind of

320
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 4: has a little bit of that feeling like Detroit did,

321
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 4: where they just feel like, hey, we got something special

322
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 4: going on right now. And that that, to me, is

323
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: is the piece for them that I think is it's

324
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 4: got to be most exciting for Houston fans. And you know,

325
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 4: I've got some family down in Houston. Just the idea

326
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: of there's a buzz now that those guys are going

327
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 4: to try to run, especially having guys like Tank Dell

328
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 4: and Nico Collins, you know, being younger as well, like

329
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: all three those two guys and night Ad and Diggs

330
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: feel like they have a ton of serious weapons are

331
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: in the wide receiver position for their offense.

332
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just going to high ad another storyline

333
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: this year with another team that we play at home,

334
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons. Everyone's going to talk about Kirk Cousins

335
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: being back in Minnesota if that game is here. Of course,

336
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: we know there are there. We have a game in

337
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: London this year. There's a game overseas this fall. Not

338
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: sure which team it'll be, but there's going to be

339
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: one of these home teams that are not into division.

340
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: So it's either going to.

341
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: Be the Cardinals, forty nine Ers, Texans, Coats, Falcons, or Jets.

342
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: But speaking of the Falcons, well stands out to you

343
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: about that game.

344
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 4: I mean, Kirk is the number one storyline when it

345
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: comes to that whole idea. I mean, the thing about

346
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: the Falcons is there was a lot of questions saying, like,

347
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 4: you know, were they going to be willing as Arthur

348
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: Blank and those guys are going to be willing to

349
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 4: you know, pony up the dough to make this kind

350
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: of a thing reality.

351
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: And obviously he did.

352
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 4: But they also turn around and added a guy in

353
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 4: Darnell Mooney, I think, you know, Darnell Mooney and Rondell

354
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: Moore coming in at wide receiver and then Charlie Charlie

355
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 4: Werner at tight end. So like you can see that

356
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 4: a team last year that kind of struggled a little bit, honestly, Yeah,

357
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: and you know, having the new coach and then they're

358
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: they're bringing that in. They're they're also looking at it

359
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 4: from the standpoint of they've got Bijon Robinson at running back,

360
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 4: so like we have a potential superstar at running back,

361
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: we need to add those extra weapons around him to

362
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 4: free him up, to let him be able to have

363
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 4: a little bit more one on one matchups with linebackers

364
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: versus guys stacking the box. To me, that was the

365
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 4: thing about Atlanta was just the idea that they went

366
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: out and grabbed some more offensive weapons to try to

367
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 4: really make that a lot more potent. So a guy

368
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: like Kirk going in there if he's if he's healthy,

369
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: he's going to be able to sling the rock to

370
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 4: a bunch of talented guys, and a guy like Bijon

371
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: also does some damage in space, so you could be

372
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 4: catching a lot of swing passes. So to me, it's

373
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 4: gonna be fun to watch Atlanta and kind of what

374
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: that offense potentially turns into, and then see how our

375
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: defense stacks up against that. And you know, there's gonna

376
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 4: be a lot of familiarity there, having worked against Kirk

377
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: in the past in practice.

378
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm gonna

379
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: highlight just a few other teams and see which one

380
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: stands out to you. Jack. Here's when Cardinal's a home

381
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: this year, the San Francisco forty nine Ers back to

382
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: back years we played them home. And then there is

383
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Jets. Any of

384
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: those four teams come to mind, or anything from any

385
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: of those four games that stand out to you that

386
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: come to mind.

387
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 4: There's two to me which are kind of a little

388
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: bit more of the asterisk ones for me, one is

389
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers and one is the Jets. Jets

390
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 4: purely because I want to see if Rogers comes back,

391
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 4: you know, bringing him back in the building. There was

392
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 4: always a ton of fun when the fans could kind

393
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: of jump on him with Green Bay, and he always

394
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: made our lives miserable. So I think it would be

395
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 4: a lot of fun to see a healthier and Rodgers

396
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 4: come back in here and just to see what that

397
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,239
Speaker 4: kind of matchup would be like. He's also coming in

398
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 4: with a completely different team with that Jets. That defense

399
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 4: has continued this year to stack and they are their

400
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 4: front is kind of nasty, and so you know, we've

401
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 4: got new running back and they've got some new defensive

402
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 4: line play. So again, there's just a ton of moves

403
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: that have been made there with the Jets. So that's

404
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 4: an intriguing one to me. The other one is the Niners.

405
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: I want to see what the Niners turn into this

406
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 4: year because they lost some big names. They lost Eric Armstead,

407
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 4: they lost Chase Young, They you know, Darnold and Javon Kinlaw,

408
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 4: Charlie Warner like we just mentioned him before, and then

409
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 4: Isaiah Oliver. But they've also got ten draft picks, so

410
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 4: like the Niners were a team that you know, they

411
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 4: they had a ton of success. Again, they went in

412
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: and they added in some guys and Leonard Floyd, Yeter,

413
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 4: Gross Matos, He's a guy that I know that when

414
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 4: he came out draft wise, he was a hot commodity.

415
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 4: Devandra Campbell, Jordan Elliott, and then they signed Josh Dobbs

416
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 4: here in this offseason. So to me, the Niners are

417
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: always a tough team. I think you're going to get

418
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: a tough team again. And let's see what mister Party does.

419
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 4: I don't think he's mister irrelevant anymore. He's definitely a

420
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 4: talker for that Niners offense. So to me, it's those two,

421
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 4: given the ones that you just cited for home games.

422
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 4: I'm very curious to see Aaron Rodgers possibly come back

423
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 4: in here and then to see what version of the

424
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 4: Niners we're going to get this year, because they always

425
00:18:59,040 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: seem like they're a tough out.

426
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to have some really tough tests from

427
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: a defensive standpoint, as far as teams that have really

428
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: been stacking their defense. We know our offense has been

429
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: one of the top ten to fifteen offenses in the

430
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: NFL for the past couple of years, so it'll be

431
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: interesting to see how we fare with a new guy

432
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: under center not named Kirk Cousins, like Kevin O'Connell is

433
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: going to have his work cut out. But to your point,

434
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: we do have a lot of weapons still to be

435
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: able to, I guess, mitigate some of the risks for

436
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: whoever's calling plays or whoever's calling plays, but whoever's lining

437
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: up under center executing those plays, like Kevin O'Connell ultimately

438
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: calls moving to the AFC, I mean not AFC, but

439
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: to our road opponents, I mean, I feel like we're

440
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: traveling coast to coast all year long. Like we travel

441
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: to la to face the Ramps, Seattle Seahawks, then to

442
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: Jacksonville this is in no particular order, then to Tennessee

443
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: and then to the then to New York to face

444
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 2: the New York Giants. Like there are so many different

445
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 2: trips that we have planned this year and so many

446
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: different teams that ultimately effect you know that the seating

447
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: when it comes to playoff picture at the end of

448
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: the year.

449
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 4: And London and London into that too. So you're going

450
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: this is kind of the year where everything shook out

451
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 4: where you have the AFC South, But then you've also

452
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: got the NFC West. So like you said, you're heading

453
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: to la You're heading to Seattle, You're heading down to Tennessee,

454
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 4: you're heading down to Jacksonville. You're also then, because of

455
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 4: the way that it finished with the year, your NFC

456
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 4: NFC East opponent this year is going to be the

457
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 4: New York Giants, and so that's going to be on

458
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: the East coast. So yeah, you're going to be doing

459
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 4: a lot of bipolar flying here. Luckily, you know, for

460
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 4: guys like yourself who are on a lot of those

461
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: road trips, you're going to be at least in the

462
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 4: middle of the country, and they're three and a half

463
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: hour flights instead of six hour flights.

464
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: The worst flight is always the London flight. Sure, because

465
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: you're well, last year or two years ago, we flew

466
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: out Thursday night and basically they told us to treat

467
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: it like we were going to sleep or going home.

468
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: Instead of going home, you went home on an airplane.

469
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: Yea flew seven now and then landed, woke up and

470
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: it was Friday. It was like, hey, good morning, this

471
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: and that, and your body still hasn't figured out, you know,

472
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 2: how to adjust if the vikings are required to be

473
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 2: in London the entire week as the home team, similar

474
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: to how they how they've done in years pass when

475
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: they were the home team. It's going to be interesting

476
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: to see how this workflow works out.

477
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 4: So when we went the very first year, I believe

478
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 4: it was twenty thirteen when we went, I was on

479
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: that trip and I'm one of the people. For people

480
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: that know me, I'm a little taller, I'm a little bigger.

481
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 4: I do not fit well in playing seats, and so

482
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: the idea of sitting in a plane for six and

483
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: a half to seven hours, going to London, middle of

484
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 4: the night, and oh, by the way, we had just

485
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 4: lost a game to the Cleveland Browns North turning the

486
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns the night before, so we were all salty.

487
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 4: We were at the time. We were we hadn't got

488
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 4: to win yet on the season. And it's like, oh,

489
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 4: by the way, you're going to jump on this plane.

490
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,479
Speaker 4: You got a little extra leg room and armor room

491
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 4: because of the people that were on the flight. But

492
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 4: at the same point, I couldn't sleep, and so I

493
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 4: was I was having a hard time overnight everything, and

494
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 4: we land and all of a sudden, we're they're at

495
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: five thirty six o'clock in the morning hopping on a bus,

496
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 4: and then we had to go to an event where

497
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 4: the kids were. You know, they're doing like a a

498
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 4: football event for the kids and they can interact with

499
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: the players, and everybody else is still glassy eye, and

500
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 4: I'm having to go out there with a camera and

501
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 4: film the whole thing. So by the time we got

502
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 4: to the hotel room at like four thirty in the afternoon,

503
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 4: I was gassed. I'm like, I'm not supposed to do this,

504
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 4: but I am. I gotta take a nap or I'm

505
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: going to die.

506
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: So that's that's the thing too, is like you take

507
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: a nap and you wake up more tired because your

508
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 2: body still hasn't adjusted, and then there's a Vikings event

509
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 2: that night that you have to be on for. So

510
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: to that point, it's like you land I remember last

511
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 2: year I was with the KFE in Guys. We landed,

512
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: and when you get off the plane get on the buses,

513
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: there was there was a sprinter in front of the

514
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: four buses that took the team to the hotel. We

515
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: made a right to go to the city. The buses

516
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 2: made it left to go back to the hotel and

517
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: it took us about an hour to drive ten miles,

518
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: so you're already tired from being in a car. But

519
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: it's also like, hey, let's figure this out, because when

520
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: we get to this destination, everybody is about to be

521
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: on So it's exciting, but it's also a draining trip

522
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: in a good way.

523
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 4: Some of my favorite blackmail photos that I currently have

524
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 4: for some of my long term colleagues here come from

525
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: that trip because of people passed out on those buses.

526
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: You know, these guys with a face pillar and they're

527
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: just planted into the seat in front of them and

528
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 4: things like that. So it's always it's a fun trip.

529
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 4: It's an interesting trip, I think. You know, there is

530
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 4: the debate, Like you said, you guys went on a Thursday.

531
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 4: It is a debate to go earlier do you go later?

532
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 4: I know with us now being the home team instead

533
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: of the way team, typically there's more responsibilities that way

534
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 4: while you're out there.

535
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

536
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: I got to say though, for me like that, that

537
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 4: London trip, that first London trip that we took when

538
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: we played the Steelers, is probably in my top three

539
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 4: moments of being a Vikings employee, purely because it was

540
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 4: such a unique thing. At Wembley Stadium, but the atmosphere

541
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: is great, everyone's geeked. London rolls out the red carpet

542
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: for those kind of events. So for those people that

543
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 4: have the opportunity to possibly or go or are thinking

544
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 4: about it, I'd highly recommend it. It's just it's an

545
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: interesting thing for to think about the celebration of the

546
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: NFL over in London, and I think whomever our opponent is,

547
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 4: you know, coming up here this year, I think it's

548
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 4: going to be a really fun opportunity for fans to

549
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 4: be able to enjoy kind of rolling out the red

550
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 4: carpet or the purple carpet there in London here this

551
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 4: year for the Vikings.

552
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: I didn't get hired here until twenty twenty, so I

553
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: can only imagine how that game was in Wimbley For

554
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 2: me personally, being a boxing fan and being a new

555
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: soccer fan and have seeing all the matches and events

556
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: that have taken place at Wimbley and to be a

557
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: part of a football event at that stadium, that that

558
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: had to be nuts. Like just being at Tottenham Hotspur

559
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: two years ago and you know, seeing how that stadium

560
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: is built, it is beautiful.

561
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 3: For me. I still felt like.

562
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: Man, like, I wonder how that how that year was

563
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen when you're you know, in the presence

564
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: of just I don't know, like when I go to

565
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: Green Bay or when I go to lambeau Field, I

566
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: feel the great buildings. Yeah, so like Wimbley is that

567
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: for me? So I can only imagine how that was.

568
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a lot of fun.

569
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 4: And like I said, it was kind of a weird

570
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: deal where you know, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Vikings were

571
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 4: supposed to be two premier franchise at the point we

572
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 4: were both over at the time, which is kind of crazy.

573
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: But the whole point of it is like, for me,

574
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 4: the idea of this, like you said, you know, going

575
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 4: to Tottenham, you know that you're in one of the

576
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 4: premier facilities within the world at this point just for everything.

577
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 4: And they also set it up so that it would

578
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: be NFL friendly, which is great. So again you're if

579
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 4: you are a fan and you you're somebody that has

580
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 4: the opportunity, whether you're a fan or a player or whatever,

581
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 4: to go to this event. I highly recommend trying to

582
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 4: be able to make that happen in whatever capacity.

583
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 2: It's the best sporting experience I've ever been to them

584
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: well second second best sporting experience I've ever.

585
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 3: Been to in my life.

586
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: I went to a Canelo went to a Canelo fight

587
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 2: at at and T Stadium a couple of years ago

588
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: and that was nuts. But the game at Tottenham Hotspur

589
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two was the best football experience I've

590
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: ever had. And for fans listening whatever, Jay just said,

591
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: this is a must go or must see event that

592
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 2: you have to be there. So tickets will be going

593
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: going so soon. We'll know our opponent soon and when

594
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 2: that game will be. But in the meantime, we did

595
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 2: have a Tottenham Hotspur legend here earlier this week, mister

596
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: Letley King, who was voted by the Times as the

597
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: twenty fifth best player in Tottenham history. He was here

598
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: and he's doing a tour of the NFL teams that

599
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 2: are playing games in London and it was pretty cool

600
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: to talk to him in here his perspective and if

601
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: you haven't been on Vikings dot com to check out

602
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: some of those interviews with him, you should because he's

603
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: hyping it up and he is, I guess, starting to

604
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: understand how the game has grown.

605
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: At his country, sure, and I know that.

606
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: You know, our biggest Tottenham Hotspur fan that I know

607
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: with in the building is CJ Ruine.

608
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: Unfortunately CJ was gone for the day.

609
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 4: He was Crestfall and he's like, no, you got to

610
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: try to get an autograph for me.

611
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: You know.

612
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: I think, like you said, the growth of the NFL,

613
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 4: especially in places like Todd them at their new facility.

614
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 4: I had been to their old facility and the thing

615
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 4: that's always struck me about Tottenham was there have been

616
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 4: tons of comparison saying Tottenham and the Vikings are, we're

617
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 4: on a similar path. Their old stadium was kind of

618
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 4: like the Metrodome. New building is set up like US

619
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 4: Bank Stadium in some ways, and so to have a

620
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 4: guy like Leslie King come over, I think the thing

621
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 4: that's going to be really fun is knowing that for

622
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 4: like the next you know, six to eight months at

623
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 4: this point, depending on when that game actually kicks in,

624
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 4: we're going to be able to kind of expose them

625
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 4: and they're going to be able to provide some insight

626
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 4: from over in Europe as kind of to where the

627
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 4: game is currently. I think having a guy like Justin Jefferson,

628
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 4: having whoever we draft, you know, with these higher draft picks,

629
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 4: being able to kind of showcase that on a global scale,

630
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 4: it's something that we've been trying to do as an organization.

631
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a lot of fun

632
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 4: to see just how much it embrace people embrace it.

633
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: The thing that always stood out to me the most

634
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: about those Lendon games was it's not even necessarily you're

635
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 4: going to have a ton of Vikings fans that are

636
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 4: gonna come from Europe, whether it's some of the Scandinavian

637
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: countries and everything coming over because it's closer. But the

638
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: bigger thing is it's almost just a celebration of football

639
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 4: and you'll see jerseys from everybody. To me, the thing

640
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 4: that's going to be great about it is having guys

641
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 4: like Ledley King and then being having access to some

642
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 4: of these other guys that we're going to guys and

643
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: gals that we're gonna work with leading up to that game.

644
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 4: To be able to talk to them from the UK

645
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 4: and some of these other global markets. It's going to

646
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: be a lot of fun to kind of pick their brains,

647
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 4: see what they think, and then be able on the

648
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: flip side just to kind of get a different perspective

649
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 4: on what the NFL means at this point.

650
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, there's gonna be a lot of jerseys in the

651
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: crowd in Tottenham Hotspur, a lot of Vikings jerseys in

652
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: the crowd at Tottenham Hotspur whenever that game is announced. Well,

653
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: before we get to that game, we have to get

654
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: to the NFL Draft, and that is about.

655
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: Three weeks away.

656
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: And helping us break down who that selection might be

657
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: is our friend mister Bucky Brooks, who's out in LA

658
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: with our own Tatum Everett.

659
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: Let's check it out, joined the NFL Network analyst Bucky

660
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: Brooks on the set of Path to the Draft. We're

661
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: only a few weeks away. Bucky, what are you most

662
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: excited to see when everything evolves on April twenty fifth.

663
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: I think it's all about the quarterbacks.

664
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: I mean, there's so much conversation and discussion about the

665
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 5: quarterbacks in this draft class. Not necessarily that when the

666
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 5: Golden era quarterback play, but the fascination over whether it

667
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 5: before quarterbacks taken within the top five. Everyone loves Caleb Williams,

668
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 5: but we also have this intrigue over Drake May, Jayden

669
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 5: Dames and JJ McCarthy. How those guys are going to

670
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 5: come off the board, which ones are going to play well?

671
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 5: All this stuff makes the draft very very.

672
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Intrigued, with Caleb Williams being a very big favorite as

673
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: the first pick out. I think amongst many people doing

674
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: mock drafts, when you look at a guy like Drake May,

675
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: who you have recently said as a prototype of a

676
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: quarterback on path to the draft, what made you think

677
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: about that and really kind of want to target that

678
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: about Drake.

679
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 5: So coming into this year, Kayla Williams and Drake May

680
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 5: were look they were dying for the QB one spot

681
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: in the draft. Caleb had a better final season, Drake

682
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 5: May fell off a little bit. But drafting is about projection,

683
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 5: not necessarily about production. And when you look at the

684
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 5: projection of Drake May, you see the prototypical size, arm, talent, athleticism, IQ,

685
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: great dude in the locker room when it comes to

686
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 5: leadership skills, and so as you're projecting forward, he probably

687
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 5: has the highest ceiling of any quarterback in the draft.

688
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 5: And so what you're trying to see is do we

689
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 5: have a situation that will allow him to flourish? Because

690
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 5: if you hit you're talking about a guy who has

691
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: talent like a Josh Allen and a Justin Herbert. I

692
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 5: think if you ask many decision makers, they'll gamble on

693
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 5: a player that has that kind of upside.

694
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: There is a fine line between the top tier quarterbacks

695
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: and the ones that you can get later on that

696
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: have talent as well, but maybe not in that top tier.

697
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Where does that line exist for you? And who would

698
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: you consider someone to trade up for as opposed to

699
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: someone you could sit back for.

700
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 5: So I think they are a couple of different tiers

701
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 5: at the top and so tier one we talked about

702
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 5: the four quarterbacks Kaylen Williams, Drake May, Jayden Daniels, JJ

703
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 5: McCarthy in any order, and the two additional guys bow

704
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 5: Knicks and Michael Pennix that are just a notch below them.

705
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: And bow Knicks you're getting like both guys, you're getting

706
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 5: very experienced players, but they played the game differently. Bo

707
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 5: Knicks is more of an intermediate specialist, where Michael Penix

708
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 5: wants to push the ball down the field. Depending on

709
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 5: the scheme of your offense, those guys would fit. The

710
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 5: next year really features a guy Spencer Rattler, Spencer Rally

711
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 5: coming out of South Carolina is a guy who look,

712
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 5: he was the starter at Oklahoma before Caleb Williams of rot.

713
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 5: He's a guy who was the number one quarterback in

714
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 5: high school when he came out. He has a lot

715
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 5: of talent, made his way to South Carolina finished his

716
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 5: career in a very solid fashion. He is the value pick,

717
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 5: and so when we think about bow Knicks and Michael Penix,

718
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 5: there's a pathway for those guys to be taken in

719
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 5: the first round. If you don't take one of those guys,

720
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 5: then I think Spencer Ratler on Day two is going

721
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 5: to be the first option to come.

722
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 3: Off the board.

723
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: When you say value pick, what do you mean, Well, I.

724
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 5: Think with value pick meaning I don't have to give

725
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 5: up additional draft capital to move up and get them.

726
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 5: I'm willing to sicken, pick, sit, and pick, and I

727
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 5: feel good about what they could be in our system.

728
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 5: A lot of it depends on with all these quarterbacks,

729
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 5: what environment are they going into, what kind of playmakers

730
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 5: do you have around them, the pass protection, who's the

731
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 5: play caller in those things? In Minnesota, it's really set

732
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 5: up where if you can find that superstar potential player,

733
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 5: yes that's great, But if you need someone that is

734
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 5: more of a menagerial type. You can get away with

735
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 5: that in the short term. So a lot of it

736
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 5: just depends on as you're looking at the draft and

737
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 5: you're evaluate in the quarterback position versus other positions, who

738
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 5: is the best pick for the team.

739
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: At that point looking at your current mock draft, which

740
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be several drafts before we actually get

741
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: to that point. JJ McCarthy was a name that you

742
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: threw out there as the Vikings taking at number eleven.

743
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: Is that a value pick for them? Yeah?

744
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 5: Look, I think so. There's been some conversation around JJ

745
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 5: McCarthy being a top five pick, and he may be

746
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 5: a top five pick, but in terms of as a player,

747
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 5: I don't think he would rank as a top five

748
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 5: player in this draft that we took all the positions

749
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 5: in those things, that's it. He's really intriguing because he

750
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 5: comes from a winning program twenty seven and one at Michigan,

751
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 5: great leadership ability, great intangibles, He's willing to kind of

752
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 5: sacrifice his own individual success for the team. And then

753
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 5: when you look at the talent, terrific arm talent, great athleticism.

754
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 5: What he doesn't have is a large volume of past

755
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 5: attempts to be able to say, hey, I'm ready to

756
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 5: see this guy play at the next level. Really good

757
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 5: prospect at a value pick you talk about at eleven,

758
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 5: he'll be a nice fit.

759
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: So if they get the value at eleven and then

760
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: they hold on to that twenty three pick there in

761
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: the first round, which direction do they go?

762
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: Then I think they have to go on defense.

763
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 5: And when we're talking about defense, we're talking about versatility

764
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 5: guys that can plug and play multiple positions. Think about

765
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 5: Iowa defensive back Cooper Degene. He's a guy who has versatility.

766
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 5: He can play outside, he can play in a nickel,

767
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 5: he can play safety. As I'm looking at Brian Floyd's

768
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 5: defense and I'm thinking about how much pressure he brings

769
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 5: and how much of responsibility he puts on the secondary.

770
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 5: It takes hot, iq and versatile guys to play in

771
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 5: that back end. Cooper Degen could certainly be a guy

772
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 5: who could contribute and play.

773
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: Right away, I'll rap the interview up with this last question.

774
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: I feel like, personally, I've been seeing all of these

775
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: jockeying of quarterbacks at the top and not knowing where

776
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: teams go, and a lot of trade talks. Is this

777
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: one of the more exciting first rounds of the NFL

778
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Draft that you've seen in recent years? Yeah?

779
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's exciting because there's so much uncertainty.

780
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 5: Like some years you can go into draft and you

781
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 5: can just close your eyes and pick the first five picks.

782
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 5: This draft is different because you have all the quarterbacks

783
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 5: at the top, but you have a bunch of teams

784
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 5: that need quarterbacks. So which teams are going to aggressively

785
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 5: find a way to get into top five so they

786
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 5: can be arranged to get a quarterback, and which teams

787
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 5: are going to take these guys in order. I think

788
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 5: the fascination comes from we have speculated for like most

789
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 5: of the year there's gonna be Kayla Williams and Drake May.

790
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 5: But is Drake May really going to be number two?

791
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 5: That's why we have tune in draft week and to

792
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 5: see who's gonna be the second quarterback off the board.

793
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: That's true, You'll tune on in April twenty fifth Bucky

794
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: Brooks with past the Draft. Make sure to watch his

795
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: show on NFL Network or NFL dot Com to get

796
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: ready for the big week.

797
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 3: Always good to hear from Bucky Brooks.

798
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 2: I've known Bucky since us what's seven years old, and

799
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: he's he's a legend in my hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina.

800
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: So he just has a wealth of knowledge, and whenever

801
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: he shares that with us, I just become a student

802
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: of the game.

803
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, I love that guy. It's always good to

804
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 4: hear his perspective. He's got it, like you said, a

805
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 4: ton of knowledge. And so Bucky's always somebody it feels

806
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 4: like he's fair, you know, in his assessments of everything,

807
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 4: and so you know, for you're lucky enough to have

808
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 4: been exposed to him that long. Yeah, and so it's

809
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,959
Speaker 4: kind of probably got to be kind of fun full

810
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 4: circle to be able to be, you know, working with

811
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 4: him in kind of a colleague with him.

812
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,000

Speaker 4: ton of stuff going on, kind of similar to what

827
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 4: you were talking about. The thing about Draft Party for

828
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 4: me is it's almost like the unofficial kickoff FanFest, you know,

829

833
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 4: be amazing and they always blow it out as best

834
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 4: as they can. Tons of legends, probably tons of legends

835
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 4: and current players that they're going to try to have

836
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 4: there at the event. And the great thing is always

837
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,279

Speaker 4: we've got some you know, possible budding new superstars here

844
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: on this roster.

845
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: Two first round picks this year, we got a lot

846
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: of flexibility on what we can, what we will or

847
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: what Vikings fans think we should do with that. But

848
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: we know we can't speculate here. But what we can

849
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: do is provide content. And we know a lot of

850
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 2: Vikings fans are going to be hoping that the Vikings

851
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: drafted quarterback with well somewhere in the first round. So

852
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: what Pete and I will be doing next week is

853
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: breaking down some of the top quarterback draft prospects film

854
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 2: heading into draft night. So we don't know if they're

855
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: going to select them, but we're going to give fans

856
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: an opportunity to see how each quarterback that we highlight

857
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: fits into this Kevin O'Connell scheme if that's what the

858
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 2: Vikings decide to go with their first overall selection.

859
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 4: And to kind of understand, you know what the hype

860
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 4: is all about. You keep hearing all these names. There's

861
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 4: a bunch of names that are out there. This is

862
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 4: potentially one of the deepest quarterback draft classes in history,

863
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 4: and so for you guys to be able to do that,

864
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 4: I love watching you guys do that because I think

865
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 4: it really does kind of help people understand the good

866
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 4: and the bad side of, you know, what they have

867
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 4: in their game. And so I look forward to seeing

868
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 4: you guys be able to put that kind of stuff

869
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: out because I think it's going to be really helpful

870
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 4: for a lot of people.

871
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so just another way for fans just to understand

872
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 2: the game of football. Like Jay, you love the game

873
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: of football. Also, we love our jobs, but still to

874
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: be able to break it down and help fans understand

875
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: how to consume it. I think that makes a greater

876
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: fan base and it gives you a deeper love and

877
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 2: appreciation for your favorite team. But Film Room is not

878
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,279

879
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,680

Speaker 3: am I missing?

886
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 4: Last thing for me is just the idea of Draft Weekend.

887
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 4: You know, one of the things that we've taken pride

888
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 4: in over the years is being able to break everything

889
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 4: down and kind of give fans an inside look as to,

890
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 4: you know, something more than just the surface stuff that

891
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 4: potentially comes out here for the draft. So as excited

892
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 4: as everybody is, we're always excited for Draft weekend to

Speaker 4: be able to put out a bunch of podcasts, tons videos,

894
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,080
