I feel like Groundhog Day Campus just 24 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: kind of looked the same, been the same, and for 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 3: the next three weeks it will be completely different. Between 26 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: the preseason game in a couple of days, joint practices 27 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 3: when we get back back to back weeks, and then 28 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: you've got the break and then it's the season. So 29 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: it's just I mean, this is go time, right. 30 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 4: Love, it looks like we made it. Yeah, baby, no, 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 4: I'm excited. There's a ton of stuff we're doing behind 32 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 4: the scenes that always gets you a little nervous and 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 4: ramped up. 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 5: At the same point when. 35 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 4: You see actual football football happening on the field, whether 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 4: it's preseason or regular always gets me excited. So looking 37 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 4: forward to falling the Yellowrick Road to the Emerald City 38 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 4: and having everybody enjoy a late night in Seattle. 39 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: Pack your coffee that night, right, Yeah, clearly you have 40 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: an enough of it in the coffee capital of the world. 41 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: But man, when you look at I mean, I guess 42 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: just when you start at how This week began with 43 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings releasing their first unofficial depth chart on Vikings 44 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: dot com. You saw some things that stood out, but 45 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell kind of addressed some things as far as 46 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: the kick returner punt returner position. The press conference on 47 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: Vikings dot com right now was was pretty lengthy with 48 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell. But I'm gonna ask you, guys, when you 49 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: look at this depth chart, are there any surprises, anything 50 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: that stands out to you? 51 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. 52 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: I kind of went through it position by position, and 53 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: I think the only thing and maybe we'll talk about 54 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: this in a little bit, but I thought the running 55 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 3: back was interesting because you really didn't know. I think 56 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 3: we've talked about this multiple times in the podcast how 57 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 3: that was going to stack up behind Alexander Madison. But 58 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: to see the experience go before maybe the potential, I 59 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: thought was a pretty common theme, not only in the 60 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: running back room, but when you look at the receivers 61 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: that are behind JJ and kJ, it kind of goes by. 62 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: I mean you have Jaalen Naylor and Jordan and next, 63 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: but then it starts to kind of have this pecking 64 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 3: order of experience before potential. And I mean you heard 65 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 3: Kevin say it like, don't think too much into. 66 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: This, right it's just on paper right now, and that's 67 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: what That's one thing that he tried to I guess 68 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: literally try to put in a Vikings fans head. It's like, hey, 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: this is literally the preseason. We have to do this. 70 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: The NFL requires us to put our first unofficial depth chart. 71 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 5: So here's what we got. 72 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 6: Yet, for me, it was a little bit more of 73 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 6: like the cornerbacks. 74 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 4: I was curious that they officially announced that, you know, 75 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 4: Caleb Evans as one of the starters. We've been talking 76 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 4: for how long this offseason about what were they going 77 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 4: to do Byron Murphy Junior on the other side, you know, 78 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 4: they brought him in in the off season, and that 79 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: makes total sense. And then just kind of looking backups, 80 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: having Andrew Booth Junior and Juwan Williams and then Makai 81 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 4: Blackman and Kaylon Barnes and then everybody else within the group. 82 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: But just seeing kind of that list there we've been 83 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 4: talking forever, what how is that going to shake out? 84 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 4: At least initially, I think it's going to be fun 85 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 4: to see who from that group then officially plays in 86 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 4: the game on Thursday night, because a lot of times 87 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: it feels like at this point head coach is basically 88 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 4: saying we're not playing starters. So if that's the case, 89 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: a lot of these guys are gonna get a ton 90 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 4: of run and it's gonna be fun to see who 91 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 4: jumps out during the live play in the game on 92 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: Thursday night. 93 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, you bring me to my next point, because offensively, 94 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: we all have a general idea of who's going to 95 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: play who's not going to play this preseason if you 96 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: just base it off of last year. Justin Jefferson is 97 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: not going to play this entire preseason. Alexander Madison, he 98 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: may play a snaper two or a series or two, 99 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: but afterwards he probably is not going to play much. 100 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: Offensive line will play the first game, but the defensive 101 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: side of the ball, there are so many unknowns. 102 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 5: Right. 103 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: You got ninety nine Daniel Hunter, fifty eight, Jordan Hicks, 104 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: Harrison Smith, and Byron Murphy Junior. All four of those 105 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: guys probably won't play all preseason. 106 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: But outside of that, yeah, that's and even guys that 107 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: you are like, well wait what if they get injured? Right, 108 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: But you got to see, You've got to see how 109 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: this roster builds. Because I'm becoming a victim of being 110 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 3: the team for long enough, for covering a team long 111 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: enough where you start to hear these names that you're 112 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: so familiar with, you're like, there's no way they're not 113 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: on this roster. But like at the end of the day, 114 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: you know forty some odd names will not be and 115 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: so like you kind of start thinking, like right, right, 116 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: like the cut's got to be somewhere. 117 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: Jowan Williams is a name that really stands out. A 118 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: guy who was a former first rounder. He hasn't really 119 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: played much in the league, but he is getting some 120 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: quality reps in practice a veteran, but he's probably going 121 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: to play in the preseason. 122 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 6: Yeah. 123 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 3: No, that's a good point. That's a really good point, 124 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: especially with that room when you don't know how it's 125 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: going to be, Like you just mentioned Jay, Yeah. 126 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 4: And even like you look at the safeties where Harrison, 127 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 4: Smith and Cambinen were named the starters. That means that 128 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 4: a guy like Lewis Scene and Josh Mntellis, Jaywarthio Jackson, 129 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 4: like all of them should get some runs. So, oh, 130 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 4: for sure, a guy like Lewis Scene, who was a 131 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 4: number one draft pick, had the injury last year and 132 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 4: he's looked pretty dang good in camp so far. It'll 133 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: be fun to see him out there and getting some 134 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 4: more reps. Same kind of thing. Josh mntellis like he's 135 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 4: been a guy who's been pretty steady. Again he's going 136 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,559 Speaker 4: to get some runs. So all of these guys really 137 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 4: are for roster spots, positions, and it's really going to 138 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 4: mean something here this preseason. 139 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of this preseason, the Vikings will probably play 140 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: a wide receiver Nikil Harry, who they signed on Monday, 141 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: the free agent first round draft pick who played for 142 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. He is a guy that when 143 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: you came in in twenty nineteen, looked at his film, 144 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: you saw him and you said, Okay, this guy is 145 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: for sure, maybe a Hall of Famer one day. His 146 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: career really hasn't panned out to that. But now he 147 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: gets another opportunity to showcase who he is. When you 148 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: look at the fifth year guy that's going to get 149 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: some run in a preseason game, what stands out to 150 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: you and what can he actually add to this team? 151 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: I think that before I get to that, I really 152 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 3: wanted to to just say that it's really interesting that 153 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: this staff or this coaching like front office tries to 154 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: find those values in players that maybe haven't proved themselves yet. Yeah, 155 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: you look at who you just mentioned, Juan Williams, you 156 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: look at and Nikie, and there are guys like I mean, 157 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: Marcus Davenport has obviously been great, but his consistency hasn't 158 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: been there, like all these former first round second round 159 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: picks they want to bring here and try to like 160 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: exactly or even I even go as far as saying, 161 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: like Duke Shelley bringing him up Kiris Tong as someone 162 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: who a team let him. 163 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 5: Go, And. 164 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 3: You know, is that so bad at opposed to it? 165 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: Especially if you're putting all of your money in the 166 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: premier positions and the guys that you want to invest 167 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 3: in for long term, you're going to have to find 168 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: those those bridges in between season to season. So kind 169 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: of giving these guys another chance, And I know that's 170 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: pretty much the story of the league, but I think 171 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: that's a really interesting theme that they kind of keep. 172 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: I mean, the Jalen Rager last season, right, so you 173 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: kind of see this like pattern happening. I mean with 174 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: with with the amount of injuries. I don't want to 175 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: say piling up because I think that's too strong of 176 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: a word, but that they're mounting in the wide receiver 177 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: room as far as the depth go behind those like 178 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: main guys you think Jalen Naylor has been rehabilitating, Tristan Jackson, 179 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: Lucky Jackson, they've kind of had their issues too, and 180 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: so they probably thought they needed to bring some more 181 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 3: depth in that room, especially when you hit the preseason 182 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 3: and you don't want to play maybe JJ or kJ. 183 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 4: The thing about Nikiel is he's now the fourth first 184 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 4: round draft pick at wide receiver in that room right now. 185 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, I didn't even see you are just 186 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 7: still your thunder J. I'm sorry, No, you're fine. Between Rager, Addison, Justin, 187 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 7: and Nikkiel, that's crazy. All of them were first round picks, 188 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 7: and so one thing that's been proven, especially front office wise, 189 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 7: Like we were just talking about the idea that first 190 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 7: and second round players that maybe didn't work out somewhere else. 191 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 7: I mean, Nikiel was in New England, had his run, 192 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 7: they got to a point where they kind of said, like, 193 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 7: you know, we don't think we're going to get much 194 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 7: more out of you. He went to Chicago last year, 195 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 7: just didn't fit with everything that was going on with 196 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 7: everything that was going on, but justin fields and that 197 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 7: offense still trying to figure stuff out. I think the 198 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 7: fact that he's now getting a run here with proven quarterback, 199 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 7: proven wide receiver room, if he's somebody that starts to 200 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 7: stand out here in the next couple weeks of training camp. 201 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 7: Now you're starting to look at some really potent guys 202 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 7: that are going to be on that field week to week, 203 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 7: let alone KG Osbourne and everybody else. So there's still 204 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 7: a lot of questions. You know, we saw what was 205 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 7: listed here at least for special teams and stuff too, 206 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 7: but getting guys like this that are veterans that were 207 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 7: supposed to have star potential and trying to see if 208 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 7: you can still get that out of them. I'm all 209 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 7: for it, just to watch them bringing in that kind 210 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 7: of talent to see who's going to be able to 211 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 7: make it work on game day. 212 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: We are all waiting. Hint, Thursday cannot get here quick enough. 213 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: But Jay, I'm going to toss this next topic right 214 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: back to you simply because you talk about superstars or 215 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: big play potential, Well, there was a guy who had 216 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: big play potential and made a lot of big plays 217 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: here in purple, and he wore number twenty eight. 218 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 5: Yep. 219 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: And if you were at practice earlier this week you 220 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: saw number twenty eight running around running roustin, It's like, 221 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: hold on, is that Adrian Peterson out there the future? 222 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 6: You looked a little different, looked a little different. 223 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 5: Adrian didn't run routes like that. 224 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: But a guy in Jacob Copeland is wearing number twenty 225 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: eight right now, And I know Twitter went crazy. 226 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I was a. 227 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: Little upset simply because I work with Adrian and Washington 228 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: for two years. But for a lifelong Vikings fan, when 229 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: you see a guy wearing number twenty eight, like, let's 230 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: not talk about Randy Moss here, yep, When you see 231 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: twenty eight the first time since he's played, what came 232 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: to mind? 233 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 4: I understand why people start to twitch and everyone everyone 234 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: comes out of the woodwork and says, why isn't this 235 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 4: number retired yet? Why isn't eighty four retired yet? All 236 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: of that, the simple fact is, over the years, with 237 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 4: the amount of numbers that were retired, they've gotten to 238 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 4: a point now where numbers are tight and it's not 239 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 4: like you're going to be throwing, you know, double numbers 240 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 4: or at this point in the league, triple numbers on 241 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 4: jerseys in order to do it. So it was one 242 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 4: of the few numbers that was still available. For a 243 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 4: lot of pearists, they just want to see Adrian Peterson 244 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 4: at that number, see it retired, and get the the 245 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 4: do that it was earned at this point. I think 246 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 4: once he goes into the Hall of Fame, maybe that's 247 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 4: something that's going to be a little bit more of 248 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 4: a reality. 249 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 6: But the pure fact is, you. 250 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: Know, they only have a limited amount of numbers, especially 251 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 4: with ninety guys on the roster. It was what was available, 252 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 4: and so Copeland jumped down that number at this point. 253 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: And we'll see what happened in the preseason. I'm sure 254 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 4: there's gonna be a lot of people that are going 255 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 4: to be doing some double takes when they see twenty 256 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 4: eight running on the field. 257 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure Paul Allen's going to say it a 258 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: couple of times, Adrian No, No, I get it, I 259 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: get it. So you just you just see that and 260 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: you just understand that. Yeah, once a roster kind of. 261 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: Goes onety guys, right, Yeah, I. 262 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: Mean people were saying there's number four available, there's number 263 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: eighty one, available. 264 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 5: So why did he pick twenty eight? But that's neither 265 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 5: here nor there. 266 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: And listen, then the amount of people that I was gonnay, 267 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 4: the amount of saying. 268 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: Josh Aller is a big Randy moss Man. I'm joking. 269 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: He probably is. 270 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 5: He probably is. 271 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 4: Think about the number of people that were twenty three 272 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 4: in the NBA or elsewhere purely because of Michael Jordan. Yeah, 273 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 4: so yeah, it's it's it's gonna look weird, but yeah, 274 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 4: it is what it is. 275 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: That's crazy. It's the first time anyone's worn it since Adrian. Wow, 276 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 3: that's nuts. 277 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's very interesting. But like I said, it'll 278 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: be a sight to see on Thursday in the first 279 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: preseason game. I'm gonna stay on the preseason topic because 280 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: we were just talking about it. A lot of the 281 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: veterans will not play, but we will get an opportunity 282 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: to see a lot of these young guys. So when 283 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: you start to I guess, foresee what Thursday will look like. 284 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: What player, Tatum, I'll start with you. What player do 285 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: you believe will step up when the lights shine bright 286 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: on Thursday? 287 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: I have this has been my curiosity since forever. But 288 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: the running backs again, I know I mentioned that in 289 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: the beginning, but I'm really interested to see the duo 290 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 3: of Tdy Chandler and Dwayne McBride out there, and then 291 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: obviously the new addition Abram I'm interested to see because 292 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: you know, he has the XFOUN experience. He could catapult 293 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: his way into the conversation. But kna Wangu has not 294 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: been practicing recently, so it really leaves the door wide 295 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: open for Ty Chandler and Dwaye McBride to kind of 296 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: battle it out. I know that Ty has a year 297 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 3: under his belt. We had a lot of flashes there 298 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: in the preseason lotted about his past catching ability, But 299 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 3: how can Dwayne McBride go in and try and make 300 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 3: an impact in the game and show that he can 301 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 3: also make space and be there for Kirk or well, 302 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 3: I guess it'd be Jaren Jaren at that point, or 303 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: Nick or Nick or Nick. But yeah, I know I'm 304 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 3: excited to see that battle play out because I do 305 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: think that as good as Alexander Madison is and I'm 306 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 3: buying into his confidence and his the hype around him 307 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 3: being really amazing this year, I want to be able 308 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,599 Speaker 3: to feel confident that there are guys waiting in the 309 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 3: wing as well. 310 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: Man, that would be so great to see. I was 311 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: leaving practice on Monday and I walked through the IPF 312 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: and it was probably five o'clock. Five o'clock, so everybody's 313 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: gone at this point. And at the end of the 314 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: practice field, I saw two guys just hitting down. He's 315 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: like hitting like the sled machine. And I kept walking 316 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: and guess who it is? Tody Chandler and Dwayne. So 317 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: both of those guys are mentally and physically preparing themselves 318 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: for Thursday, and I'm just. 319 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 5: Excited to see. 320 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: I think that's the reason why we got these jobs, 321 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: because like, you get to see those opportunities where a 322 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: lot of the fans and a lot of the media 323 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: don't get to see. So to see that kind of 324 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: I guess correlate on the field on Thursday. It should 325 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: be very, very fun to see Jay. Who you think 326 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: is gonna shine bright Thursday. 327 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 4: I think a guy who the moment that he was 328 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 4: announced as a Minnesota Viking basically said all eyes on 329 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 4: me was Jordan Edison. He's been going absolutely nuts through camp. 330 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 4: Everyone's been talking up, you know, just how good he's looked. 331 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 4: Toe drag swag everything else running his routes, and so 332 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: you know a guy that went from Pittsburgh to USC 333 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: and runn into the Pac twelve and just basically going 334 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 4: to one of the biggest markets possible and doing it 335 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 4: up to the point where he was getting all conference 336 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 4: accolades and everything. He's a guy that loves the spotlight. 337 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 4: And I think, you know, given the fact that we 338 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 4: all at this point assume jj't playing, nobody checks JJ's 339 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 4: playing period through the preseason, Jordan Addison's going to have 340 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 4: a ton of run here, most likely through all of preseason. 341 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 4: So it's all predicated on the quarterbacks getting him the ball. 342 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: But even outside of that, whether it's run blocking or 343 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 4: just route running and stuff like that, I think Jordan 344 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: Addison's going to step into the spotlight every chance he gets. 345 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 4: And it's going to be fun to watch that here 346 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 4: for these three preseason games. 347 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: Like I wonder, what play what is it going to 348 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: take for Kevin O'Connell to say, okay, Jordan, that's enough 349 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: if you I mean, if you like to assume things, 350 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: one would surmise that he's going to have a big, 351 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: big preseason game on Thursday. So at what point do 352 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: you say is it one drive? Is it one seventy 353 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: five yard catch? Is it? 354 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: Like? 355 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 5: When is enough enough? 356 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be one of those as 357 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 4: long as the timing's there. He's displaying what they've been 358 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 4: talking about in the room, you know, what they've been 359 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: talking about daily in their class and studies, going out 360 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 4: there actually showing it on the field. And then I 361 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 4: can't underestimate and stress enough how important those joint practices 362 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 4: are going to be. Yeah, and if he's going against 363 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 4: their ones and he's still making some moves, they may 364 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 4: just set them later in those preseason games because of 365 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: the idea of just keeping them clean, you know, keeping 366 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 4: them healthy. You would assume he's going to be the 367 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 4: number one options when he's out there. But the rest 368 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 4: of all those wide receivers we just talked about, between 369 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: Jalen Rager, Nikhil Harry and everybody else that's going to 370 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 4: be out there, like, they're literally fighting for roster spots. 371 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 4: So a guy like Addison is a first round pick, 372 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: you assume he's going to make this roster. They know 373 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 4: what they're going to have in him, and so if 374 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 4: he goes out there and shows his competency, why not 375 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 4: pull him off the field and let the other guys 376 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 4: duke it out in order to try to make the roster. 377 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 3: I don't know how much he how much he would 378 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 3: be proving to you, if he's ready for the league, 379 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: if he's caught up to the game, if he's going 380 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 3: against the twos and threes like another team. So I 381 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 3: think your joint practice statements pretty on, like you want 382 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: to see him go against the ones, So maybe he 383 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 3: stays for the first half. I don't see him staying 384 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 3: an entire game, no, but joint practice, I do see 385 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: him going a quarter as long as the ones are 386 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 3: in from the opposing defense, and maybe a little bit 387 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: after that, just like a slight bit. But I don't 388 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 3: I can't imagine it being too much because the joint 389 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 3: practice would be where you want to see him create 390 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: that separation, be able to keep up with the game, 391 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: not think and just do. 392 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 4: But over the years, like the amount of rookies or 393 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 4: first year second year guys that have gone into two 394 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 4: preseason and just popped, those are the ones that you 395 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 4: quickly see them go like Okay, that's enough, go sit 396 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 4: on the bench. 397 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: Now. 398 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 4: Yeah that's about it, Like we know what we got 399 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 4: you know, Stefan Diggs as a mid round draft pick, 400 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 4: even the idea of when we grab Percy as a 401 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 4: first round pick. Adrian Peterson, Like, there's certain things they 402 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 4: get into those preseason games. You go, oh, there's something 403 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 4: different here. Yeah, it's different now that you only have 404 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 4: three preseason games. You don't have or you don't see 405 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 4: the starters out there in like Game three for half. 406 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, things like that. 407 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 4: So I just think a guy like him, if he 408 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 4: does what everyone expects him to do, then it's just 409 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 4: gonna be a matter of time before they go cool, 410 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 4: just go back to practice. 411 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of the Terry mclauren situation. 412 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: When I was in Washington, Kevin O'Connell was the offensive 413 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: coordinator and just throughout practice the entire preseason, Terry mclauren 414 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: he was going off in practice, but he never played 415 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: in the preseason game and everybody was like, well, this 416 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: guy's a third round or why is he not playing? 417 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: And then Week one, one hundred and eighty seven yards later, 418 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, we get it. 419 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 3: So that's what you were on too. 420 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: Right, So a guy that I'm gonna you know, beat 421 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: the table for that I believe is gonna have a 422 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: big game on Thursday night. Is Ivan Paced Junior. A 423 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: lot of people have been talking about him, just how 424 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: he's shown up in practice, undrafted guy simply due to size. 425 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: He was All American last year. He was a finalist 426 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: for the Chuck Bedner Dick Award. And just looking at him, 427 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: just I guess, make plays play full speed, phil gaps 428 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: be solid in the past game. I'm excited to see 429 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 1: what that looks like in actual game action. It's so 430 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: hard for a player to pick up the game of 431 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: football as far as the NFL so quickly just due 432 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: to speed, just due to the I guess your head 433 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: just spending just being in the playbook. But i've in 434 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: Paced looks like a veteran linebacker out there. So Thursday 435 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: will be our true sight to see. And you look 436 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: at a guy in Harrison Smith that says we will 437 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: see Ivan Paced Junior a lot in Seattle. I guess 438 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: we'll see Ivan Paced Jr. A lot when we turn 439 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: on the Seattle Seahawks game tape. That's a big time accomplishment. 440 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: So mister Ips, my guy, I. 441 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 3: Like that one. He was around with the ones. Yeah, 442 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 3: the linebacker position is one where I feel like it's 443 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 3: going to be another rotation of guys. I think you 444 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 3: could see him swapping in and out with Osamoa on 445 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 3: different packages when they want to use his size and 446 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 3: his advantage. And I'm excited to see what he can 447 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 3: do too. He's kind of like our media Darling I 448 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 3: think right now, as far as some one whose name 449 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 3: is not a drafted player, and he's kind of catching 450 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 3: on a lot of steam, which is good for him. 451 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 3: And yeah, I can't wait to see him on Thursday 452 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 3: for sure. 453 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: Speaking of media Darling, before we get to our special guests, 454 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: mister media Darling right now is mister Justin Jefferson. 455 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: Oh. 456 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, where's this going. I feel like 457 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 3: there might be a few options. 458 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna go Justin Jefferson.

Justin Jefferson 492 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: breaks two thousand yards. I'll save that for another show. 493 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 3: No, I mean, I think that's a fair assessment. 494 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 4: But unless it's like ninety eight, that's. 495 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: True what you said, they're blowing everyone out. 496 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 4: Uh, ninety eight was a completely different animal, and that 497 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 4: you literally set the league record for the amount of points. 498 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 4: And the whole idea was it didn't matter how many 499 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 4: possessions you had, you were scoring touchdowns. Just the question 500 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 4: was by how many much where you're gonna win by 501 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 4: And if we get to a point where we have 502 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 4: that kind of firepower on offense, and guess what if 503 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 4: your offense is constantly on the field and keep that 504 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 4: defense off of there the other teammates scoring points. So 505 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: it those are the fun things to think about. We're 506 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 4: getting ahead of ourselves a little bit. But JJ setting 507 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 4: goals every year and saying I'm going for you know, 508 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 4: sixteen hundred, eighteen hundred, two thousand yards at this point. 509 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: You know, last year he said he wanted to be 510 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: the best wide receiver in the league. And now look 511 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 4: now he's number two in the top one hundred rankings. 512 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 4: So that kind of accolades by his peers just shows 513 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 4: exactly what everyone thinks of him. 514 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: Right now, JJ ranked number two, Harrison Smith he was 515 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: ranked number ninety seven, and Kirk Cousins ranked the forty 516 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: second best player in the NFL. So we got three 517 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: guys on the list this year. Hopefully we can have 518 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: more this time next year. 519 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 3: It just continues to blow my mind that he was 520 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 3: a two star crew, that he was the second best 521 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 3: receiver in his college team, that he didn't come out 522 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 3: with all this and now I don't know. I just 523 00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 3: love to see him thrive. 524 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 4: Growth, spurts and staying hungry as somebody that kept his 525 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 4: eye on the prize. And look where he is now. 526 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 4: It's just amazing. 527 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 3: We'll go a little teer may. 528 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 5: Well. 529 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: If you are a fan of this podcast, chances are 530 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: you've probably seen the Netflix docuseries called Quarterback featuring Kirk Cousins. 531 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: All right, so in episode four, we got a glimpse 532 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: of how Kirk prepares his brain for Sundays using neural 533 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: feedback training. So on today's show, we get the chance 534 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: to dive a little bit deeper into that training as 535 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: we have the special privilege of being joined by Kirk's 536 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: neural feedback coach, mister Nick bolheis Nick, first and foremost. 537 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us for starters, you and Kirk. 538 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: I've been during this neural feedback training for a number 539 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: of years, So could you just give us a glimpse 540 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: of what is neural feedback training and how does that 541 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: apply to the quarterback position in this case? 542 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins, Yeah, no, thanks for having me. 543 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 2: It's great to be here, and it's been fun to 544 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: talk about our work with Kirk ever since Quarterback launch. 545 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: Amazing how many people watch Netflix, So yeah, my kids 546 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 2: think I'm really cool now, that's awesome exactly. But yeah, 547 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: we've we've worked with Kirk since he was a senior 548 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 2: at Michigan State. It's uh, it's been a while. It's 549 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 2: been fun. You know, he used to drive over to 550 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 2: our office. We're a Michigan based company, so yeah, he 551 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: would drive in to the office a few times a 552 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: week for training there during his senior year and we've 553 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: just continue to be privileged to work with him all 554 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 2: throughout his NFL career and you know, when you talk 555 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: about neurofeedback, you're you're literally looking at brainwave activity. And 556 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: when I think of brainwave activity, I kind of describe 557 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 2: it like a speedometer. He've got slow brain waves and 558 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: you've got fast brain waves, and they all have the 559 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 2: job to do. You need all of them. But you 560 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: want to make sure that you have a healthy amount, 561 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: the right amount of each brain waves. You don't want 562 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 2: to bring that zones out too much. You also don't 563 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: want to bring that goes too fast. That can we 564 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: distress related issues. So we work with a lot of quarterbacks, 565 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: not just Kirk, and in a lot of these quarterbacks, 566 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: they're wired a little hot, and part of that you 567 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: need to be to be the quarterback you need to 568 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 2: be on You need to have that vigilance and that 569 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 2: attention to detail. But there's a really fine line. So 570 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: a lot of them, when we work with them, it's saying, Okay, 571 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 2: what can we do to slow the brain down just 572 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 2: a little bit, stay in the zone, but not start 573 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 2: to overheat. And so what they do when they're training 574 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 2: is you know, if you watch the series, you saw 575 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: him putting that headband on his head with a little 576 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: sensor that we moved different areas of the brain, and 577 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: they watch videos, and when their brain is doing what 578 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 2: we want it to do, it's calm itspocus in the 579 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: zone their video plays, they get rewarded, but every once 580 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 2: in a while, their brain goes out of that healthy state. 581 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 2: It starts to go either too fast or too slow. 582 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 2: The split second that happens, their movie stops, the reward 583 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 2: goes away, and as soon as the brain waves go 584 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 2: back in the healthy range, the video starts up again. 585 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: So the brain starts to figure out this pattern and says, Okay, 586 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: I don't know why, but when I'm here, I get 587 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 2: the reward, but when I go over there, I don't. Well, 588 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: I want the rewards, I'm going to stay here. So 589 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: you're conditioning your brain to spend time with that healthy, 590 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: locked in state. 591 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 4: So when you're doing that kind of a thing, is 592 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 4: is there like a side of it where it's almost 593 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 4: like data chunking as well, and you're kind of working 594 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 4: through different scenarios or is it something where you're trying 595 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 4: to just kind of keep it at this optimal kind 596 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 4: of mid range mid level in order to be able 597 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 4: just to process at efficiencies and to get to a 598 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 4: point where they're just kind of operating on autopilot, Like, 599 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 4: how do you guys kind of work through those different 600 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 4: scenarios then of high stress, low stress, et cetera, to 601 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 4: be as optimal as possible. 602 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: That's a great question. So neurofeedback sessions are designed to 603 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 2: be done in a very passive static state. We don't 604 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 2: want them moving around or trying to analyze different things. 605 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 2: I want them to be sitting there, calm and relaxed. 606 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: So they're at a baseline state, and we want to 607 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 2: train that baseline because we know, hey, when you get 608 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: in a stressful situation, you're going to speed up a 609 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: little bit. But I want to train you so that 610 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 2: when you are walking into that situation, instead of walking 611 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: into your situation on a scale of a scale of 612 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 2: one to ten, having your stress be at an eight 613 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: already when you walk into it, we want to train 614 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 2: that stress level down to like a three or of four. 615 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: So as an environmental stress builds, you've got that buffer 616 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 2: or cushion to be able to ramp it up a 617 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: little bit but still stay well within a healthy state. 618 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 2: So the neurofeedback is all about your brain interfacing with 619 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 2: the software. Again, technology has changed a ton in the 620 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: last ten or fifteen years. So like Kirk, you know 621 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 2: the software, he can run in sessions on his own 622 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 2: and the algorithm gives him the appropriate feedback back. In 623 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: the day when we would have to manually run his sessions, 624 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 2: you'd be tempted to open the movie pause say something, Hey, 625 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 2: calm down, do this or that. That doesn't help. It's 626 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 2: all about the brain getting that instant feedback from the software. 627 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: Before you even feel your brain zone out or speed up, 628 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 2: the hardware and software are detecting those changes and giving 629 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: you instant feedback. So the more you disrupt the person 630 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: during their session, the less they're going to get out 631 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: of it. So it's the brain interfacing. The technology is 632 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 2: the key. 633 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 3: How have you seen the neurow feedback from when Kirk 634 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 3: first started with you, how it's changed his brain or 635 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 3: made him more successful? From when you had him as 636 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 3: senior year to now. 637 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 2: People that don't know Kirk hopefully got a really good 638 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 2: understanding of you know, what makes him tick and how 639 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: much he cares about his profession. It's I thought it 640 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: came across really well, but it's always with Kirk. Nobody's 641 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 2: gonna work harder than him, nobody's gonna care more about 642 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: him or about the job than him, and in trying 643 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: to win and do it's best for the team, And 644 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 2: like with a lot of our quarterbacks, it's it's making 645 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: sure that you have that right balance. So when you're on, 646 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 2: you're on, but you can't always be on. You've got 647 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: to be able to turn it off. You've got to 648 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 2: be able to rest and recover. So we've gotten into 649 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: a really good routine with Kirk over the years where 650 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,479 Speaker 2: when the season's over, he takes time off. He's got 651 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 2: to mentally physically recover. But as we start to head 652 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: into the summer and you start to ramp up towards 653 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: training camp and into the season, that's wh and he 654 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 2: will really start to ramp up his neurofeedback and bio feedback, 655 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 2: his breathing training one so that he's got that buffer 656 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 2: or that cushion as he heads into the long season. 657 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: Because we're not talking just about like getting hit a 658 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: lot in the physical toll that takes, but the long 659 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 2: days that they put in at the facility to travel 660 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 2: all that takes a toll, you know, neurologically and mentally 661 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 2: for you. So he wants to build up that buffer 662 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 2: in the off season, but then continue to train throughout 663 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 2: the season to stay as strong as possible. And technology 664 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 2: and like I mentioned, has changed so much. Like I said, 665 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 2: when he was at State, he'd have to drive into 666 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 2: our office a couple of times a week for training 667 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 2: and we'd have these cords and wires and everything he 668 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 2: gets hooked up to. And now he's got this headbands 669 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 2: that he can literally do sessions in his pickup truck 670 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: at the facility. Just makes it a whole lot easier 671 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: to do the work. 672 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. 673 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you made a good point of the mental 674 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: aspect of this game. A lot of people say, even 675 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: coaches that when he starts to get to professional sports, 676 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: is ninety percent mental and ten percent physicals. So this 677 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: neural feedback training just feeds into that. So do you 678 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: have any success stories of how this neural feedback training 679 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: has helped Kirk or translated to the field that has 680 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: made us Vikings fans happy. 681 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there's there's plenty of scenarios. And Kirk 682 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 2: will be the first to tell you it's not about 683 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 2: him as a team game and he'll never take credit 684 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: for a win or anything like that. But I look 685 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 2: back to even before becoming a Viking, when he was 686 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 2: at State his senior year, shortly after starting to work 687 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: with us and working on the breathing techniques. They had 688 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 2: a huge game against Wisconsin and that it was at 689 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 2: a back and forth game and he had a couple 690 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 2: just huge passes in crunch time that allowed them to win, 691 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: and he just talked about how he was able to 692 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: stay calm on the sidelines through breathing and just being 693 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 2: able to center that way. You look at last season 694 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 2: for the Vikings, how many one score games that they won. 695 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 2: They could have gone either way so many times, but 696 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 2: just being able to go into that huddle in the 697 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 2: fourth quarter and execute and be able to stay calm, 698 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 2: and you know, Guy's feet off of that. You know, 699 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: if he's in the huddle freaking out over breathing, getting 700 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 2: too stressed, everybody's going to pick up on that. But 701 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 2: being able just to stay present, stay in the moment 702 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 2: and execute was really fun to watch last season. And 703 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 2: I'd like to think the work we've done with him 704 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: contribute a little bit to that. 705 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 4: I think we all could probably be more mindful and 706 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 4: be you know, kind of more calm and everything that 707 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 4: we do as far as like working with not just athletes, 708 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 4: but the general public as well, what kind of benefits 709 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 4: do you see from this kind of work. 710 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate you asking that question because this is 711 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: my seventeenth year with the company, and we actually started 712 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: out before working with athletes. We worked with kids with 713 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 2: ADHD and anxiety and academic issues, doing the same exact 714 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: things that we do with Kirk and our athletes. And 715 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 2: as much as I love sports and I think I 716 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 2: have the coolest job in the world, I still love 717 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 2: working with kids that are having trouble focusing or are 718 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 2: stressed about going to school. And I just feel like, 719 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: if you can help a kid focus who's ten or twelve, 720 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 2: you can significantly alter the course of their life. And 721 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 2: the younger you do it, the better. And so the 722 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 2: opportunity work with Kirk, with Jordan's Spee, Zach Johnson, Bryce 723 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 2: and Deshamball, all these really famous athletes, to me, it 724 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 2: gives them social proof to say, Wow, if these guys 725 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 2: are doing it and gals are doing it, and they're 726 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 2: benefiting and they can focus better, it's going to make 727 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 2: these families and these kids that are struggling academically to 728 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 2: want to do this and know that there's something out 729 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 2: there that can help them, and the social proof is 730 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: really really huge. But there's a whole world of people 731 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 2: that want to focus better, that are dealing with stress, 732 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 2: that aren't sleeping well, and again, doing simple as simple 733 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 2: as precision breathing and learning how to breathe properly helps 734 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 2: these folks. And then if we want to talk about 735 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 2: the neurofeedback beyond the breathing, we've got a plan for 736 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 2: that too. But yeah, we really feel there's a whole 737 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 2: lot of people that can benefit from what we do. 738 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 3: Have you seen an uptake in people who are like 739 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 3: reaching out since that, and maybe not just athletes. 740 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, people watch Netflix and they didn't even say they 741 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 2: didn't even say our name on the the broadcast. And 742 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: I joked like, they did ask me some questions, but 743 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 2: I must not have been articulate enough to make me 744 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 2: cut floor. I was on the Yeah, I got my 745 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 2: three seconds of faint. But now Kirk and Julie just 746 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 2: did such a good job talking about their work with us, 747 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I could not have done any better. 748 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 2: They were perfect. But yeah, I think a quick Google 749 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 2: search people found out who we are and it's it's 750 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 2: been really cool to uh just have you know, teams 751 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 2: across professional sports reaching out because yeah, I guess really 752 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: truly in life, everybody does want to train like a quarterback. 753 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 2: And the cool the cool thing is is it's accessible. 754 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 2: You know, the things that we do, the technology that 755 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 2: we offer, people can't access it. You don't have to 756 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 2: be the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings to be able 757 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 2: to partake in what we do. 758 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 5: Well. 759 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining this Minnesota Vikings podcast. This was 760 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: a special treat So Nick, best of luck with everything. 761 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: We're wishing you the best with your future endeavors and 762 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: thank you for gracing our podcast today. 763 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 2: No, I appreciate you having me on. I'm excited and 764 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 2: North is wide open this year and hopefully the Vikings 765 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 2: can can keep up the momentum from last year and 766 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 2: keep building on it. So thanks for having. 767 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 5: Me, absolutely, thank you. 768 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: Wow, what a guest that we had today. Nick just 769 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: a an expert when it comes to training the brain 770 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: to stay calm and steady during the most difficult moments, 771 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: not in the game of football but also in life. Jay, 772 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: just your your initial thoughts just on what you learned today. 773 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 4: From Nick I think when he said focusing in better 774 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 4: sleep and all that kind of stuff, like raised their hands, 775 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 4: we raised our hands just like, yeah, absolutely. 776 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 3: I think everyone. 777 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 4: But it just shows you, like when it comes to 778 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 4: professional sports, there are so many great athletes. Anything you 779 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 4: can do to try to give yourself that extra edge, 780 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 4: you know, people are willing to do it. For someone 781 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 4: like Kirk, who's been doing this now for years and 782 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 4: trying to work at his craft and figure out how 783 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 4: can he be as optimal as possible, especially at the 784 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 4: grueling position of quarterback, just looks like this whole thing 785 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 4: for him is just a piece that he can utilize 786 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 4: on a daily or weekly basis in order to try 787 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 4: to help himself not only be more mindful, but probably 788 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 4: just kind of you know, destress and relax as well. 789 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 4: And you know, for someone like Nick who's been doing 790 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 4: this now, it's like you said, seventeen years, they're using 791 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 4: a crust all these different swaths of society. I think 792 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 4: it'd be really interesting to see what this could do 793 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 4: for everybody. So it was nice to have Nick on 794 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 4: the show. 795 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 3: I think it really humanizes the quarterback too, when you 796 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 3: hear that kind of stuff like they're dealing with so 797 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 3: much pressure and stress and we all feel it in 798 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 3: our lives as well, but they have to perform at 799 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 3: this level. That's just the highest expectation in a premier 800 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 3: sport and you have to manage that. And I mean 801 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 3: I have nowhere near that profile, and I have trouble 802 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 3: managing my stress and my anxiety about things. So I 803 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 3: can I can see how like, like those kinds of things, 804 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 3: you wonder like when will that become more mainstream where 805 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 3: we're not watching quarterback and we're like, oh, he's just 806 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 3: doing his breathing right like, because that seems to be 807 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 3: working for someone like Kirk, because you do see the 808 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,919 Speaker 3: way that it's affected his management and how he thinks 809 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 3: about things. 810 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting, he said he started in college. And 811 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: I remember when I was in college, we used to 812 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: do something similar when I played quarterback, just not even 813 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: like putting a cap on or anything, but literally just 814 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: practicing brain techniques to keep you poison and you know, 815 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: stressful situations because that quarterback position, I mean everything, you 816 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: have to know what all twenty two players are doing 817 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: at the same time on the field and process that 818 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: while not getting overwhelmed. So the fact that Kirk can 819 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, kind of filter those things out, work with 820 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: the coach and look at where he is now. I 821 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: mean this is it has shown that this can be 822 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: something very beneficial if people take it serious. 823 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,879 Speaker 4: The other thing to think about, too, is just how 824 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 4: much the idea of mental health and kind of the 825 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 4: stigma that was around that for so many years is 826 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 4: kind of, you know, eroded away at this point. There's 827 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 4: just so much discussion on mental health and trying to 828 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 4: take care of yourself and everything. And I think, you know, 829 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 4: the fact that he was as proactive as he was 830 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 4: starting this in college and just doing it every single 831 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 4: uh you know year, just to try to give himself 832 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 4: that extra piece that can help him. I think it 833 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 4: speaks volumes about how much he really cares. 834 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 6: Well. 835 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: It's been over two hundred days since we have had 836 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: meaningful football. Really that long two hundred and five if 837 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: you count today that we were recording this podcast. 838 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 3: By meaningful Football? Are we talking like for the Vikings 839 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 3: or just like for the. 840 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 5: Vikings meaningful Vikings football. 841 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 3: That's why I was wondering. I was like, did I 842 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 3: really go that long without watching football? 843 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 2: No? 844 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how, because yeah, our season end of 845 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: January fifteenth. 846 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 3: So got it, got it meaningful Vikings?
