Like I said, it's opportunities. Recently, we 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 2: did an event in Utah and we had this guy 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: come out and like I could just tell by his energy, 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: his demeanor, like he was doing this more than just 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 2: for whatever it means. It meant so much to him. 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: Just a lot of young people watching my content, like, wow, bro, 11 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: this is motivational. I'm gonna work a little harder because 12 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: I want to be able to say that I'm a 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: part of this. You know, it's very motivational content. 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: During practices are complete and the Minnesota Vikings are gearing 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: up for the Tennessee Titans in preseason week number two. 16 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: My name is Gabe Penderson. I'm alongside Tatum Everett and 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: Jay Nelson. Producer Eric Davidson is on the ones and 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: twos and this is is the Minnesota Vikings podcast presents 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: it by the Twin Cities Orthopedics. Guys, we finally got 20 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: a chance to see the starters in some real game 21 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: like action. Like granted Brian O'Neill wasn't participating still, but 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: still the the Nil Hunters of the world, the Marcus 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: Davenports of the world, all those guys got some quality 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: reps against the Tennessee Titans ones. What are your thoughts 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: and just joint practices thus far? 26 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 3: It it's great to see them participating in someone else's front, 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: someone else's looks. 28 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 4: They're not used to. 29 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 3: Seeing this every day like they have the last few weeks, 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 3: so that was really good. I thought that it was 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 3: a very physical practice, but it didn't get out of 32 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 3: control any means. It wasn't particularly feisty. There was like 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: maybe one or two moments where you saw like things 34 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 3: maybe getting a little chirpy, but it wasn't as like 35 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 3: crazy as tense as the forty nine ers last year. 36 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: But I do think that, you know, the defense, For me, 37 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: the defenses won the day, and I think that's kind 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: of what you'd expect when you get out here for 39 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: the first day of joint practices. 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 5: That was the thing that kind of stood out to 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 5: me when I was watching from the periphery was a 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 5: little bit more you know, this time of year, the 43 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 5: defenses typically are a little ahead of the offense is 44 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 5: just trying to figure out their timing and everything else. 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 5: Defenses seemed like they were chirping a little bit more 46 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 5: just in general, was after each play. So I just 47 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 5: felt like those guys were you know, it was nice 48 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 5: to see kind of I guess the word I would 49 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 5: use for the practice was different. Yeah, just everything was 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 5: a little different than what we're used to seeing, especially 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 5: with a vrabel led defense walking in here. Everyone kind 52 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 5: of assumed that that would be a little more intense, 53 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 5: and I know, you know, last year with the nine Ers, 54 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 5: there was kind of that feeling too, that the intensity 55 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 5: ratched up a little bit. And I'm sure everyone wants 56 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 5: to put their best foot forward, but I am curious 57 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 5: to see, you know, as this goes along, let alone 58 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 5: in the game coming up here, what what the potential 59 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 5: change is going to be in that. But just the 60 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 5: different nature of it felt comfortable to me, just seeing 61 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 5: somebody else out there just to kind of really get 62 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 5: a feel of where you're currently at. 63 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy how the intensity kind of ramps up 64 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: from individuals period one till about period tenure and right 65 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: around period seven's when you usually start seeing the chirpiness, 66 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: like right after the one on ones and the lineman. 67 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Usually the lineman start the physicality. But I was just 68 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: I was just talking to Quasio Delpho Mensa and he 69 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: was basically saying, this is what our team needs. Kevin 70 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: O'Connell pretty much handpicked both of these teams. As far 71 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: as we want to practice against these guys, we want 72 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: to see what our team looks like against them. Tennessee 73 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: physical team next week, Arizona Cardinals kind of running gun 74 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: type of offense. I believe this is going to be 75 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: a really improved Minnesota Vikings team once regular season week 76 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: number one starts. But we got to rewind back to 77 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: preseason week number one. When you look at that Seattle 78 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: Seahawks game, nobody keeps scoring like nobody keeps scoring, understands 79 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: who wanted who lost that game, But you do look 80 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: at some of the players, and Jay, I'll start with you. 81 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: When you look at you know, just when we recap 82 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: this game, who's a guy that you think bounce forward 83 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: versus another guy who needs to bounce back. 84 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 5: This week, it was fun for me to see Josh 85 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: Oliver out there real time. You know, we've heard all 86 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: along how this guy was a difference maker at the line, 87 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 5: and you just kept seeing pancake block after pancake block 88 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 5: in certain situations and it just kind of felt like, 89 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 5: you know, he was at advertised when we brought him in. 90 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 5: It was nice to see him against somebody else. And 91 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 5: I know it wasn't necessarily the ones versus ones, but 92 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 5: Josh out there was moving some people and it was 93 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 5: fun just to see him feeling like, yeah, we got 94 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 5: something real here with him. So to me, it was 95 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 5: fun to you know, pay attention to what he was 96 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 5: doing bounce back. I felt bad for Thayer Thomas with 97 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 5: the punt fumble, just the way that the kind of 98 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 5: the fair catch, you know, running into the ball, that 99 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 5: kind of stuff. Those are the kind of plays that 100 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 5: you don't necessarily want to make, especially when you're you know, 101 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: trying to make a squad kind of a thing. But 102 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 5: you can't judge him on one piece. But that just 103 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 5: means that whether it's in practice or even these next 104 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 5: two preseason games are going to be critical for a 105 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 5: guy like him to feel like you can bounce back 106 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 5: a little bit more and you know, show he's really 107 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 5: worth versus letting that mistake kind of define who he is. 108 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought there Thompson had a really good day 109 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: one of joint practices, making some really big plays. And 110 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: then you talk about Josh Oliver. He made a lot 111 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: of big plays in that Seattle game, but none of 112 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: them showed up on the stat sheet, no catches, no runs. 113 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: But that pretty much shows you who he is. He's 114 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: a workhorse and he does a lot for our offense. 115 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: He's basically that extra offensive lineman. And again, it's like, listen, 116 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: if you're going to commit to that as a formation, 117 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: you're going to commit to it, or defense are gonna 118 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: know you're probably running with him at the line, and 119 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: there's not going to be a whole lot, at least 120 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: preseason wise that they're probably going to show passing wise 121 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: or at least show their cards what they have in 122 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: store for him. So if the whole thing is, you know, 123 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: get out there and hit somebody, he did a dang 124 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: good job at that. So it was just fun to 125 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: see him actually produce that way. 126 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: Well, especially with the fact that you're not playing TJ. Hockinson, 127 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 3: you're not playing CJ. Hamm, so you're seeing a lot 128 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: of the twelve personnel. When you walked out there for 129 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: the preseason game. So seeing Oliver and Johnny Munt work 130 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: together on that I thought. 131 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 4: Was really really cool to see. I don't know how 132 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: much we'll see me. 133 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 3: I think that I wrote something down the other day 134 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: that I think it was only twelve personnel was only 135 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 3: used eleven percent of the time last year, So you 136 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 3: wonder where will that increase or not? 137 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 4: I could see that happening. 138 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that would be I mean, Ifeyn O'Connell 139 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: wants to throw the wall forty five times a game. 140 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how he does that with 141 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: one running back and two tight ends. So I mean 142 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: you have Josh Oliver who can still catch, but I 143 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: mean you don't want to rit roll. Does that decrease? 144 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: Is that kJ Osborne or is that Jordanatison? So that'll 145 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: be very interesting. But being multiple is cool. 146 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, my bounce forward player. 147 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: I thought Luigi Vlaine really took advantage of starting in 148 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 3: that game on against the Seahawks. You know, he's someone 149 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 3: who signed it was one of those undrafted free agent signings. 150 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: He was more expensive, but obviously worth the price tag. 151 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 4: Right now. 152 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: He had one sack, a forced fumble, three quarterback Hits. 153 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: I just think that he looked angry, like he played angry, 154 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 3: and I think that that's great to see when you're 155 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: starting to think of depth behind, you know, a Daniel 156 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: Hunter or Mark Stavenport. You want to have those revolving 157 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 3: doors of guys give him a break every now. 158 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 4: And then, and it's good to see Luigi take a 159 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 4: step forward. 160 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 5: It just feels like Luigi has been seen as somebody 161 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 5: who is a hard worker, but you want to see 162 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 5: that actually show up on the field, and so for 163 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 5: him to be, you know, running downhill and flashing to 164 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 5: the point where he's playing. If you're playing again again 165 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 5: amongst your peers in a similar situation where everyone's kind 166 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 5: of on a similar level, to be the guy that's flashing, 167 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 5: that means that you're doing something right or at least 168 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 5: a step ahead of what other people are doing at 169 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 5: that point. So it was cool to see that because 170 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 5: I know he's putting in a ton of work and 171 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 5: to see Luigi do what he did it was It 172 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 5: was fun. He seemed like he was really enjoying himself 173 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 5: out there and kind of making everybody understand like, yeah, 174 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 5: I definitely deserve to be here. 175 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it was the shoes. 176 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: He wears the black and rear Jordans every day to practice, 177 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: and he decided to wear some team issued cleats last Saturday, 178 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: last Thursday. So, hey, you look good, you play good? Right, 179 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: who's your guy who needs to bounce backt them? 180 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 4: I don't know if needs to bounce back? 181 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: Is like the way I would describe Jaron Hall, because 182 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: I do think that he he's my nominee for the sword, 183 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: but also he just basically was running for his life 184 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: the entire time he was in the game. He was 185 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: consistently under dress forcing the ball. He I mean, I did, like, 186 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: I loved his athleticism. I love the fact that he 187 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: made smart decisions and threw the ball away. But sometimes 188 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: I felt like like I was watching one of those 189 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 3: games where like they just run and like maybe the 190 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: three receivers on the sideline, Like it just felt like 191 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 3: he had that's all he could do. And so I 192 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: want to see more from him. I hope he has 193 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 3: more time in the pocket. I hope he gets more comfortable. 194 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 3: I mean, he's playing with you know, guys that are 195 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: three four on the depth chart, So it's understandable at 196 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 3: this point that maybe it's not going to be the 197 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 3: exact situation he would be and if he was a starter, 198 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: But I'm excited to see him in the in the 199 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: home stands, in that environment and maybe check a step 200 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 3: forward because of just circumstances in the Seattle game. 201 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 5: Sure, I felt like with Jaren it didn't feel like 202 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 5: he was like panicking as far as like missing throws 203 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 5: and that kind of thing. It was more of a 204 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 5: like you said, kind of running for his life and 205 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 5: just trying to survive. And even in that, you know 206 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 5: he was keeping his eyes downfield, trying to find somebody 207 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 5: that hit the ball with and and that's the kind 208 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 5: of stuff that you feel like, yeah, there's still stuff 209 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 5: that you can coach up there in order to get it. 210 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 5: But like we've seen it before too, like if he 211 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 5: quarterbacks don't have time around here, you're going to be 212 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 5: in a duress either having to make short passes really 213 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 5: quickly or you're gonna be running for your life trying 214 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 5: to make something happen. And even then you start running 215 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 5: left or right, and now all of a sudden, half 216 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 5: the field's gone because you you know, you only have 217 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 5: safe pockets to throw in for half the side. So 218 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 5: hopefully a guy like Jaren can get a little more comfortable, 219 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: like you said, a little home cooking. I'm just curious 220 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 5: with the Tennessee Titans defense what they're going to have 221 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 5: ramped up for those guys. So if you know whether 222 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 5: the Tennessee game here, if you see something similar, I 223 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 5: bet people might hit the panic button a little bit more. 224 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 5: But again, between this one and the Cardinals, the coaches 225 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 5: are gonna understand kind of what they have between all the. 226 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 6: Practices and everything. 227 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 5: So hopefully Jaran gets another shake and has a better outing. 228 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: Yes, interesting how quarterback's eyes changed throughout the game, like 229 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: just from playing the position, Like if you get hit 230 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: about four or five times, like you can go a 231 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: straight drop back and there could be no rush and 232 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: you're already looking at the pressure. So I saw Jared 233 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: Hall's eyes at the line of scrimmage a lot later 234 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: in that third quarter, and it was basically due to 235 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: him being hit five or six times. So that that 236 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: is a really good point. I mean, it's a team 237 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: effort when it comes to protecting Jaron Hall and thus 238 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: as fans getting the opportunity to really get a chance 239 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: to see or evaluate him. So a guy who was 240 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: making a lot of plays behind a line of scrimmage, 241 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: and my guy who I think bounced forward was IV 242 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: and pace let the team in tackles. There wasn't any 243 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, sad or you know, big plays in the 244 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: stat sheet, but what he did for the entire team, 245 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: we're in the green dot, filling holes taken on fullbacks, lineman, lineman, Yeah, 246 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean just things like that, kind of like Josh 247 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: Oliver just doesn't get shown up in the stat sheet, 248 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: but a really key guy. I mean, look at the 249 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: things that he was doing out here. I enjoying practices. 250 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: Brian as Simoa isn't playing right now, so he's getting 251 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: reps with the One. So he's making the most of 252 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: his opportunities. And I'm excited to see how that continues 253 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: to turn forward if you know that is his trajectory 254 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: playing with the Ones. 255 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 6: Eventually, he took. 256 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 4: Down Derrick Henry today at joint practices, Like. 257 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: I know that that's that's obviously a huge deal because 258 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: when you look at the two of them, they're vastly different. 259 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 3: I've never seen someone so athletically built in my entire life. 260 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: From when I was in Nashville with with Derrick Henry 261 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: just an absolute ridiculous specimen of a human being, like 262 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 3: the longest legs complete. I have a hard time describing 263 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 3: it because every time I saw him, I was like, 264 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: how is this guy a running back? I mean he's 265 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: out there looking like a tight end and so for 266 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 3: ivan pace or alignment, really, I mean, he's a little 267 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: too trim for alignment because I. 268 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 4: Was I was looking at him. 269 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 3: I was looking at him today and he was like 270 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: when he got off the field, he was next to 271 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: the tight ends, and I was like, he fits right in, 272 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: but he's anyway, enough about Rick Henry, I was very 273 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: impressed that. 274 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: I do love that ivan pace. 275 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 3: I mean, despite his like maybe smaller size, he was 276 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 3: able to stop Derek, which I think is a really 277 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 3: really tough task to do and very promising. 278 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 5: That's the thing it feels like for him being their rookie, 279 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 5: he does not feel like a rookie. Like just the 280 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 5: confidence that he's playing with and the amount of plays 281 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 5: that he's making the fact that he's a Green Dot 282 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 5: as an undrafted rookie is pretty incredible. And I think, 283 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 5: you know, they got to be ecstatic from what they've 284 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 5: seen from. 285 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 6: Him so far. 286 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 5: And then like you said even today going out there 287 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 5: and just it doesn't feel like he's making massive mistakes 288 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 5: that are just completely noticeable people are. You're noticing more 289 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 5: of him flashing than making those kind of mistakes. So 290 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 5: I got like, Pace, I feel like he is on 291 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 5: the fast track at this point and making himself undeniable, 292 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 5: and I think that's something that let alone making a squad. 293 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 5: I mean, that's how you make yourself a starter, is 294 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 5: if he is understanding everything, and for a guy like 295 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 5: Flores who loves to have an aggressive defense and all 296 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 5: the stuff that everyone's been talking about him, you know, 297 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 5: undersized whatever, Like he's kind of the Wolverine of the 298 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 5: whole thing. 299 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 6: He doesn't care. He's it's going to take you on. 300 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 5: And it's been fun to watch him so far, and 301 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 5: I'm excited to see what he does now in this 302 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 5: next game coming up on Saturday. 303 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, being a young guy like trying to prove yourself 304 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: in practice, I've in Pace has been doing that, so 305 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: for sure, seeing him tackle Derek Henry, I was thinking, like, 306 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: all right, Derek Henry's going to get up and punch 307 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: these guys, like, dude, what are you doing? Man? 308 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 4: I think he would lose that fight. 309 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: Personally, Hey, you know, it depends on who's got who's back. 310 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 5: I mean for me, like you were talking about Henry, 311 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 5: that that whole idea like that was Peterson for me. Yeah, 312 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 5: you know, and Peterson was here and he just I 313 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 5: remember him having to do like photo shoots and stuff 314 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 5: like that for sports illustrating like who is you know, 315 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 5: that's not human And so for a guy like Henry 316 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 5: to come out and paste, you know, give it a 317 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 5: nice smack. 318 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 4: I'm sure. 319 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 5: I'm sure even for him watching that phone back, he's 320 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 5: gonna have little smirk to himself to feel like, you know, 321 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 5: I know who I put that on. That's that's great 322 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 5: to share, huge confidence builder. 323 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited about him, a guy that you know, 324 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm still excited about even though I believe he needs 325 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: to have a bounce back week as a guy. And 326 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: Dwayne McBride, I just thought the game was moving a 327 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: little bit too fast forward. He was overthinking. There was 328 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: a few holes that I thought were open. And if 329 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: even if you ask him, he's probably going to say, like, yeah, 330 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: I wish I would have had a few plays back. 331 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 6: He only had two. 332 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: He averaged two and a half yards per carry, six 333 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: carries eighteen yards fifteen yards. My apologies, and just from 334 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: what we've seen with him earlier in camp, I would 335 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: guess that a lot of people were expecting him to 336 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: have a bigger game in Seattle. But at the same time, 337 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: you get two more opportunities, uh to be featured and 338 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: to be a guy that literally gets almost every carry 339 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: in the second half. So I'm excited to see what 340 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: that looks like here this upcoming Saturday. But at the 341 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: same time, if you ask coach Curtis Makins running backs 342 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: coach here with the Vikings, you you really can't get 343 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: a feel of what the running back position is actually 344 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: doing until this actual live game action. So we get 345 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: another chance on Saturday to see what he can do. 346 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, it did kind of feel like he got in, 347 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: maybe didn't have like the best showing on his rep 348 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 3: and then they really took him out of the game. 349 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: I almost felt like we just saw so much more 350 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: of Abram Smith out there. So I hope that we 351 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: do get to see Dwayne a little bit more. I 352 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 3: think we know what we have in Tdy Chandler at 353 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 3: this point, like a very very talented back there. But yeah, 354 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: I do think I think that's a good choice. I 355 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 3: think that's one of those ones where like we didn't 356 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 3: get to see everything we wanted to see from him, 357 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 3: And that's. 358 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 5: A position as well where there's been some you know, 359 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 5: lots of discussion about talking to different veterans and stuff too, 360 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 5: So I think they're still just trying to fully evaluate 361 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 5: that position at this point. For someone like Dwayne, you know, 362 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 5: one time can be a mirage, two times starts to 363 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 5: be a trend. You know, we'll see what happens here 364 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 5: in game number two and then eventually game number three. 365 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 5: But the same kind of thing for him, you know, 366 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 5: you're younger guy, let's put some good film on after 367 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 5: that and just kind of chalk it up to, you know, 368 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 5: nerves in the first game kind of thing. But hopefully, 369 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 5: you know, if he does show out a little bit 370 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 5: more here and gets a little bit better line play 371 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 5: as well, help him with some of those you know, 372 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 5: lanes for running, Dwayne could be somebody that can hopefully 373 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 5: get himself back on that track and feel like he's 374 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 5: got a spot on this roster. 375 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: God man, I mean, we're all rooting for him, just 376 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: a guy. Seventh round UAB works very hard. You just 377 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: want guys like that to succeed. But when you're trying 378 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: to replace a guy in Dalvin Cook, that's big shoes 379 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: to feel for sure. And Dalvin Cook was recently announced 380 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: that he has signed a one year deal with the 381 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: New York Jets worth eight point six million. 382 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 4: We can't wait to watch the hard knots exactly. 383 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: Exactly like you. We saw a couple of clips of 384 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: Dalvin at practice a couple of weeks ago, just in 385 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: a white T shirt and jeans, and it's like, oh boy, 386 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: oh boy. And then Aaron Rodgers made the comment of 387 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: you know, I'm tired. You know I got a you know, 388 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: a front row seats at Dalvin in Green Bay. So 389 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: he's with a roch. He's with arguably the best team 390 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: in the AFC right now. Depends on who you asked. 391 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: But when you look at that signing, what were your 392 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: initial thoughts to do? 393 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 5: It felt like where he was heading to in the 394 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 5: first place. You know, they've been flirting with him all 395 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 5: off season. 396 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 4: It felt like, yeah, it's really nice them to finally 397 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 4: make their relationship. 398 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, summer fleeing now was a deal, but might as 399 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 5: well wait until training camp and then make it official. 400 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 5: For a guy like Dalvin, I know, he's wanted to 401 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 5: get what he feels like he's deserved, and you know, 402 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 5: a number like eight point six, especially right now in 403 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 5: the running back market. I mean, you look at Zeke 404 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 5: going to the Patriots, like he got six, and so 405 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 5: for a guy like Dalvin to get closer to that, 406 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 5: you know, double digit number that he wanted, I think 407 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 5: it was good for him. 408 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 6: He was do fourteen million with the Vikings right. 409 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 5: Somewhere in there, I think, with escalators and pieces. But 410 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 5: I know, like he's been saying, like all along, he 411 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 5: wanted his ten to twelve. 412 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, and so. 413 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 5: You know, like I said, to get that eight point 414 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 5: six from the Jets on a one year deal again 415 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 5: for him, it turns into a prove it deal. And 416 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 5: there's a bunch of players on that roster as well. 417 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 5: I mean, think about what you're thinking if you're Breese 418 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 5: Hall right now and knowing that a guy like Delvin, 419 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 5: who is a little bit more versatile and being able 420 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 5: to catch passes out of the backfield and stuff, and 421 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 5: a guy like Rogers likes to dump those kind of 422 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 5: plays in his lap, you know, in a player like 423 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 5: that's lap so I think it's a really good fit 424 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 5: for Delvin to go to a team that feels like 425 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 5: it's the hot you know, the hot ticket right now. 426 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 5: And I'll be very curious to see how they start 427 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 5: to utilize him here, especially in preseason. 428 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 4: If they can get him going, it's going to be 429 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be pretty great. When you 430 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 4: think of a. 431 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 3: Relationship, I mean, you know that he has a ton 432 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 3: of respect for Aaron, and Aaron has a ton of 433 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 3: respect for him. 434 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 4: That's just the beginning of this. 435 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 3: I think that the Jets have definitely stepped up their 436 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: offense this offseason because I think that was obviously it 437 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: was leading leaving them. 438 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 4: Their Devins was so good last year, so rising a 439 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 4: quarterback they really were, they really were. 440 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 3: And I'm breeze Hall's coming back from injury like he 441 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 3: was so good at that point. I don't know, I 442 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 3: think this is really exciting. 443 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 4: Again. I think he played the game really well. 444 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 3: He really waited it out for the right deal, whatever 445 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 3: felt comfortable for him, and I'm excited to see what 446 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: he can do as long as he doesn't play the Vikings. 447 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 5: You know, it's still blowing my mind at this point. 448 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 5: The amount of people that are choosing to go play 449 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 5: in the AFC, that's nuts. That's also true because even 450 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 5: think about that division. I mean, Aaron's in there now, 451 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 5: but you got your Josh Allen, you get two in Miami. 452 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 5: But Miami's got a ton of firepower now, and now 453 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 5: you know, the Patriots are trying to load up as well, 454 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 5: let alone your Kansas City's and everybody else that's stacking in. 455 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 5: So like, for me, if you're a free agent, why 456 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 5: would you not want to try to make a run 457 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 5: somewhere in the NFC, which feels like it would be 458 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 5: a potentially easier playoff road. 459 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 6: But for a guy like. 460 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 5: Him, you know, he wanted that money and they were 461 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 5: willing to get closer to what he wanted. 462 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 3: Well, that division, yeah, I mean, I know we talked 463 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 3: about the conference, but even like, okay, the Dolphins were 464 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: contenders last ye mean, they were in the in the hunt. 465 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 3: You have the Bills and the Patriots. I mean they 466 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 3: just got Zeke now that that's going to solve all 467 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 3: their problems. But like, could could the Patriots be the 468 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 3: worst team in that division? 469 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 4: How crazy would that? 470 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: Probably at ten and seven or nine eight like that? 471 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: Like on paper, I think the Jets are the second 472 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: best team in the NFL, oh behind the behind the Chiefs, 473 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: and you just look at I mean their defense is 474 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: stacked right from top to bottom. You got what Keenan Williams. 475 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: You got a linebacker CJ. Mosley, safeties, the Siegees like 476 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: saust Guardess. Offensively, all they were missing was a quarterback. 477 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: And then when Breece Hogart heard it was like, who 478 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: can we fill that running back? Now you have true 479 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: proven vets, Like granted you don't play the game on paper, 480 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: and you have to you know, factor in hopefully no injuries, 481 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: but you know, all the game works, they have to 482 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: factor in injuries. 483 00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 6: And it's like if you. 484 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: Take all that away, like what team can compete with 485 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs or the Jets in the AFC. 486 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 5: Well, Rogers at this point has been begging for firepower 487 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 5: that he can get the ball to Garret Wilson, I 488 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 5: think is going to have a field day, which breaks 489 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 5: my heart fantasy wise, because I let Garrett Wilson go 490 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 5: last year after I had him. But it's one of 491 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 5: those things for me league No yeah, in my dynasty league. 492 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 5: So it was one of those that broke my heart. 493 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 5: But I think having firepower in him Dalvin, now he 494 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 5: gets to play with their old friend Tyler Conklin as well, 495 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 5: Like he's got some weapons on that offense. And you know, 496 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 5: the bigger question is going to be is this going 497 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 5: to be like five and oh nine or is this 498 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 5: gonna be like far than twenty ten. Where is he 499 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 5: going to be somebody that's going to be extremely motivated 500 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 5: and come out guns of blazon and make a run 501 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 5: or it's going to be something where all those years 502 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 5: of you know, the Packers basically sticking with him and 503 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 5: then being willing to move on from him, do they 504 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 5: feel like, you know, his sauce is gone, Like he's 505 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 5: just a guy that is at the back end, and 506 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 5: that's kind of the way they felt. I think a 507 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 5: guy like Aaron's going to be one hundred and prove 508 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 5: it mode and is going to want to light the 509 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 5: world on fire, and he's going to have to within 510 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 5: that division because I think their week one matchup is 511 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 5: the Cook brothers against each other with the bells and 512 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 5: the jets, and so that's gonna be. But that's the thing, 513 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 5: like the very first week out of the gate, you're 514 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 5: gonna get firepower in that division. 515 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 6: So it's gonna be a lot of fun. 516 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: A lot of fun indeed, and a lot of fun 517 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: and tap this upcoming Saturday as we get ready to 518 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: play the Tennessee Titans in preseason. 519 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 6: Week number two. 520 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: Before we moved to our special guests of the show, 521 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: I want to get you guys' thoughts as joint practices 522 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: have wrapped up, were there any guys that stood out 523 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: to you? I know, Jay, you briefly watched a little 524 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: bit Tatum and you and I were outside just from 525 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: your vantage point. Who were some guys that or a 526 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: guy that really stood out to you? 527 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 6: Thus far? 528 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 4: Does the punter count? 529 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 6: Yeah? Oh my god? 530 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 3: Ryan right, Ryan Wright was dropping bombs at practice. He 531 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 3: was booting missiles. I mean, it was just like insane 532 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 3: to see him do work. And then one point he 533 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 3: like did like I think it was almost. 534 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 4: Like a ninety yard plant. 535 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 3: I mean it went past the other uprights on the 536 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: opposite side of the field and he did like one 537 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 3: of those head nods, like he was like real amped up, 538 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 3: and he got like a standing ovation from the crowd 539 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 3: as a good driving golf When, yeah, when when did 540 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 3: you see a punter getting an ovation like that from 541 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 3: the crowd, So I thought, I know that that's like 542 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: a small thing, but he's he is returning into rear 543 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: form as. 544 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 5: An organization that's had kicking issues. The fans are acutely 545 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 5: aware of what your kickers are doing on this team. 546 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 6: Uh. 547 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 5: For me, the after watching some plays and watching the 548 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 5: like we talked about earlier, the defense is kind of 549 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 5: controlling things and putting some some plays on film. All 550 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 5: of a sudden Superman came out of the building and 551 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 5: mister Jefferson made a very nice catch down the side, 552 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 5: So like, you know, he's in true form at this point. 553 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 6: Uh. 554 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 5: You know, a lot of what I saw today was 555 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 5: was at least from where I was standing, was again 556 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 5: a lot of the defenses kind of do in their things. 557 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 5: There weren't a lot of splash plays, especially at the 558 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 5: line of scrimmage for the offense, but there were a 559 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 5: couple of nice tosses that way too. So you just 560 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 5: feel like, Yeah, Superman's back in the building and he knows. 561 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 6: What he's doing. 562 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 3: Did you guys, And I don't know if you saw this, 563 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: it just happened I think on Twitter, but Ryan Clark 564 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 3: on ESPN, who I'm a huge fan of obviously LLC. 565 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 4: And I know that you're friends with them. 566 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 3: Game on ESPN today, said that George Pickens has more 567 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 3: talent than Justin Jefferson. 568 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: I know this is the Minnesota Vikings podcast and saying 569 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 1: Justin in my opinions, Justin Jefferson is the best receiver 570 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL. But if we're talking about true athleticism, 571 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: as far as vertical speed athleticism, I'm giving that to 572 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: George Pickens, like sometimes, I mean, that doesn't always translate 573 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: to the field, and that was gonna be my point. 574 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 3: But if we're talking about he made I just saw 575 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 3: a clip, but I was just trying to start the pot. 576 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're good. 577 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm just I mean, that's a I mean, granted, he's 578 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: biased too, right, he played for the Stillers, he was 579 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: at the Stiller's training camp last but Justin's. 580 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 4: His LSU homeboy. 581 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: Come on, you know, he's He's Tumblin's still curtain through 582 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: and through. So I don't know, like JJ is still 583 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: the best receiver, and George Pickens has a lot of 584 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: a lot of a. 585 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 6: Lot to prove. 586 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 4: But I had him on my team last year and 587 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: it didn't really do much for me. 588 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 6: Really. 589 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, there's a there are a ridiculous amount of 590 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 5: talent in the NFL with just off the charts athleticism 591 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 5: for guys, But the whole thing is about how do 592 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 5: you produce and what do you do on game day? 593 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 6: Because you may look like. 594 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 5: A beast in the weight room, but you put yourself 595 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 5: out on that field, you better produce. And nobody in 596 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 5: the history of the league in his first three seasons 597 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 5: has done with Justin Jefferson's done. 598 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 6: I will take JJ all day a week. 599 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 5: I will take him all day, every day and until 600 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 5: George gets close to what he's been doing on the field. Yeah, 601 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 5: and again you can look at it and say, yeah, 602 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 5: what's the quarterback situation been like? But still to me, 603 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson, I think there's a reason why everyone in 604 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 5: Philly still twitches every time they see the number eighteen. 605 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 5: Any in the world. For me, Justin Jefferson's the guy 606 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 5: and it's not even close. 607 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 6: I respect it. 608 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: One thing I do respect is Ryan Wright's punt today, 609 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: even though it was nineteen miles far wind. 610 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: Yes that he was a kick, I mean it was, yeah, 611 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 3: he did. He got the win in the side. 612 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 6: Had to be like that was at least ninety yard. 613 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: It was so fun, real, unreal. A guy that stood 614 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: out to me, I'm gonna go Brian Flores. I'm just 615 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: thinking about the blitz Like team blitz today, we're basically 616 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: all the players are scripted for the opposing defenses to blitz. 617 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: Just some of the creativity that I saw from his 618 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: play calling in that period, I was like, oh wow, 619 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: like this is this is going to be a lot 620 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: of fun. Of course they don't call sacks and then 621 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: joint practices, but if this defense is flying around the 622 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: ball the way they did enjoining practices, I can see 623 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: this Minnesota Vikings team being top five in sacks and 624 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people saying there's gonna be I 625 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: think someone said, what's over under there will be five 626 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: players on this Minnesota Vikings team with five plus sacks, 627 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm probably taking over simply because there's so 628 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: many creative blitzes from so many creative people. So Beflow 629 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: is my guy. When it comes to the guy that stood. 630 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 3: Out, Yeah, I thought it looked really the defense looked 631 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 3: like they were swarming. They were in the backfield more 632 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 3: loten than not, And I thought, you know a few 633 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 3: times I saw Daniel back there, I saw Marcus Davenport 634 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 3: and then Harrison Smith read a play went right through 635 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 3: a hole. 636 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 4: It was just beautifully, beautifully executed. So I'm with you, game. 637 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 4: I think the defense really shined today and. 638 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 3: Excited to see what they what you know, what pressure 639 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 3: they dial up and then probably the most that we'll 640 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 3: see because we probably aren't going to see anything remotely 641 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 3: as creative in the preseason game. 642 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: No, absolutely it'll be it'll be vanilla, yeah, but from 643 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: defense to destroying. We finally bring in our special guest 644 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: of today's show.

And when I'm not working, I 730 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: feel not like myself. So I think a lot of 731 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: it's due to working hard and realizing, hey, this is 732 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: not a blow up today, You've made it. It's a 733 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 2: long journey.

It's so easy, Like I can make a 741 00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 3: video and put it all online. 742 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 4: It is full time. 743 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 3: You're you're never off, you're always ideating, creating. 744 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 4: Things like that. So like a day in your life, 745 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 4: walk us through it. 746 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 2: It's it's even hard to answer that question because it 747 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: varies so much. Now I've been blessed to have a 748 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: team around me that takes a lot of the workload 749 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 2: off of me, so now I can focus on other 750 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: things that don't take as much time. My team, my editors, 751 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 2: my filmers, my manager, all them, they take a lot 752 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 2: off my plate. So I like to start my day 753 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 2: with a good workout. Like you work out, you get 754 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: the dorphins going, and you're just there mentally, my idea 755 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 2: here and there. I try not to sit down and 756 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: think of ideas because I feel like those are forced 757 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 2: ideas come out through the day. I write them in 758 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 2: my notes. And usually we travel for a lot of content, 759 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 2: so when I'm actually at home, it's my time to 760 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: unwind and relax, just get some downtime. When we travel, 761 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 2: it's usually one on ones or you know, I do 762 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 2: high school football games sometimes in different events, so it's 763 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 2: always changing. Man. We're in a new city like twice 764 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 2: a week, so it's it's tough for the week.

But like now, like what 818 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: what separates the schools from other schools When we have 819 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: the best of the best. 820 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 2: It's tough because like you said, it's it's the best 821 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: of the best. Obviously there's a lot of money behind 822 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 2: these facilities, so they try to get the best everything. 823 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 2: The best weight room is, the best food, the best everything. 824 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 2: So I feel like it definitely has to be the 825 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: coaching staff. A lot of players that go there, they 826 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 2: meet the coaching staff. It has to be a system 827 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 2: that they fit in. It has to be somewhere that 828 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 2: they feel home, Like do they care about their families? 829 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 2: Do they care about their futures? How are they going 830 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 2: to develop them as young men?

So it's a real. Man, it's 882 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 2: heart warming, and I look back at all the opportunities 883 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 2: I've gotten and it just makes me so heavy. 884 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 6: They you don't have to take kickers, don't really take 885 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 6: many his anymore. 886 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 2: Chilling. Man. I got a lot of stories back in 887 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 2: high school. I used to sit on It's funny because 888 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 2: I made a literal throne out of all like the 889 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 2: hitting mats and stuff, and I watched my team runs 890 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: friends like I was so spoiled in high school. Man. 891 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 2: College was a little different. 892 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: But it's kind of like a quarterback, right you just 893 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: like where everybody's running, but like when I moved to receiver, 894 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: I was the one run. It's like, man, like those kickers, 895 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: we're meeting rooms, y'all in the locker room, playing ping pong, 896 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: and like, granted, y'all got the most. 897 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 6: I mean, say what you want, but I think specialist 898 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 6: has happen exactly. 899 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 2: Nice pressure. You get one chance, one one opportunity to 900 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 2: do your job, and you better not. 901 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 6: Mess it up. 902 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 2: Mess it up. A quarterback could throw a pick or 903 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 2: an incompletion whatever it may be. Okay, but if we 904 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 2: missed that game, when the kick is over there on 905 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 2: your head. 906 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 3: What would be like right now if you had to 907 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 3: think of your dream scenario one on one that you 908 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,280 Speaker 3: haven't done past present. I mean you could pick anybody, 909 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 3: who would it be. 910 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 2: I think a dream scenario with one on ones would 911 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 2: be all NFL players. Like imagine your top receivers going 912 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 2: against each other, like at DeVante Adams versus Jayalen Ramsey 913 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 2: or like something like that, and them actually like going 914 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 2: all out. You know, I don't know, maybe a NFL 915 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 2: Pro Bowl ones for a million dollars or something, maybe 916 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 2: we can find charity or some type of organization to 917 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 2: put the money up, but I think that would be 918 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 2: a YouTube breaking. 919 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 4: Who would you want to go up? 920 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,720 Speaker 2: Though? I don't know, Man, there's so much talent out there. Obviously, 921 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 2: I've had to see Jetta's runs. He's a particular best 922 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 2: receiver in the league. I don't know, you're just saying 923 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 2: that because not for I've always thought that. I've always 924 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 2: thought that. I mean, the proof isn't putting the voted 925 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 2: them number one receiver. So I don't know. Tyreek is 926 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 2: always exciting to watch. You got guys like Keenan Allen 927 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 2: that run crazy routes, D hop crazy, his hands out there. 928 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 4: He's about to be here. 929 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,479 Speaker 6: Yeah in a couple of days, a couple of days. 930 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 2: You guys excited or nervous for that or what? 931 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 3: No? I mean, I'm kind I'm like, I'm son't doing nothing. 932 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,919 Speaker 1: But honestly, I feel like that's like having those joint 933 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: practices are good work for our young corners. Have so 934 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: many young corners, so like having a d hop this 935 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 1: week and then the following week. The Cardinals they have 936 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 1: a few young guys on their rosters. That's why I 937 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: love joint practices. But at the same time, I know 938 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: a guy and Justin Jefferson, he lives for those moments 939 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: because he wants to go against the best of the best. 940 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: And now I'm just thinking about the Pro Bowl video. 941 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 2: That was insane. It was a crazy situation that he 942 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 2: even decided to compete to a lot of guys you say, 943 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 2: oh no, I don't want to get injured or ill 944 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 2: just come and support, But he just threw himself in 945 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 2: the fire. He's one of the best guys out there. 946 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 6: Man, how have you guys relationship evolved over? 947 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 2: That's been great, bro, it's been great.

But it's been great. 950 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 3: Man. 951 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 2: Whenever we link up, we make amazing things happen. 952 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 4: That's awesome. 953 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: Well, look, I'm gonna end it with this question because 954 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: I know there there are certain fans now that you 955 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: were starting to break into the NFL, you're starting to 956 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: do these one on one tourists there, it's a new 957 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: audience to tap into, and there's a lot of people 958 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: that don't really know who you are, even though you 959 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: start what millions of followers on social media, But for 960 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 1: people who don't know what you do or what these 961 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 1: one on ones are, how would you describe your events? 962 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 2: I describe these events as opportunity and hope. We go 963 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 2: into a lot of lower income communities and neighborhoods and 964 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 2: people who don't usually get a platform or an opportunity 965 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 2: to get to come out and compete and put themselves 966 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 2: on a map, put their city on a map, put 967 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 2: every everything they've worked for, their whole lives on a map. 968 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,919 Speaker 2: Like I said, they may not get opportunity, and now 969 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 2: you get an opportunity to show what you can do 970 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 2: in front of a fan base of millions, and you 971 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 2: get to walk out of there with a lot of money, 972 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 2: like life changing money. So it's it's exciting, man. It 973 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 2: brings the community together, it brings spectators, participants, everybody. Man, 974 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 2: it's it's undescribable. 975 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 3: I lied, I do have one more at those at 976 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 3: the events. You know you talk about giving guys platforms. 977 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 3: Have you what have you seen from some of these 978 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 3: like the trajectory of some of these winners these guys, 979 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 3: Like have you seen college offers or like do you 980 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 3: keep track of them. 981 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 2: So there's one guy specific that we could talk about. 982 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,399 Speaker 2: His name is japz To cor Pearson. Obviously very town guy, 983 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 2: played at Western Kentucky, played at Ole Miss, did a 984 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 2: lot of things, and he came to my win on 985 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 2: ones and literally cleared house like six events in a row. 986 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 2: Went crazy, and he ended up getting opportunity in the 987 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 2: XFL and he was the number one leading receiver in receptions, touchdowns, yards. 988 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 2: It just went crazy. And obviously I'm not going to 989 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,479 Speaker 2: take credit and say it's because my win on ones, 990 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 2: but it helped definitely bring his talent to the spotlight 991 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 2: and show the world who he is.

I think that that's awesome. And 1059 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 3: I was really impressed with him. Thought he was a 1060 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 3: really cool, down earth guy because sometimes you watch videos, 1061 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 3: you don't know what you're gonna expect, you know, you 1062 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 3: see like at the person on TV as opposed to 1063 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 3: who they are, and I just thought he was just 1064 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,399 Speaker 3: very very insightful thought. 1065 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 4: I thought it was a great interview. 1066 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 5: I think what's interesting is just even looking at his 1067 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 5: site and he's got over five million. 1068 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 6: Subscriberies, kind of a thing crazy. 1069 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,800 Speaker 5: Just not only is he doing kind of the tour 1070 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 5: and the one on one and that's you know what 1071 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 5: we saw out here at TCOPC and just saw how 1072 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,760 Speaker 5: excited everyone was to have him there in his group 1073 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 5: and to kind of put on the show that they're 1074 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 5: putting on. But I think the bigger thing for me 1075 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 5: is seeing just them highlighting, like you said, specific people 1076 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,319 Speaker 5: and different teams and going down and just trying to 1077 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 5: put a spotlight on certain people. Think think that's the 1078 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 5: kind of stuff that is even more memorable for those kids, 1079 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 5: because it's kind of you know, I remember playing back 1080 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 5: in high school and he just wanted the local news 1081 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 5: station to come and cover your team and show thirty 1082 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 5: seconds of highlights and throw up a score kind of 1083 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,399 Speaker 5: a thing. But it felt like, you know, at least 1084 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 5: there's eyes on you, and that people are paying attention. Nowadays, 1085 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 5: everyone's paying attention everywhere, especially even prep. You know, you 1086 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 5: can max preps and all that kind of stuff, Like 1087 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 5: there's a lot of places you can be found. But 1088 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 5: for someone like him, if he takes a shine to 1089 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 5: your game and kind of hears about you, that's going 1090 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 5: to be an incredible boost not only for you just 1091 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 5: in your own feeling and your ego, but at the 1092 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 5: same point just exposure by coaches and feel like you're 1093 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,239 Speaker 5: actually going to get a shake from somebody who's going. 1094 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 6: To take a look at you. 1095 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,919 Speaker 5: So it's kind of a dual purpose there for him, 1096 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 5: you know, for him being successful and at the same 1097 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 5: point get some exposure for the kids. 1098 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's always cool like seeing celebrities and NFL 1099 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: players who saw Justin Jefferson participating in some of those 1100 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 1: one on ones. That kind of adds a flare to 1101 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: it and continues the hype train of what's actually going on. 1102 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 1: So clearly he's figured it out. Yeah, he's figured out 1103 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: how to appeal to the gen Z audience.
