1 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Two Minute Warning, presented by three M, 2 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: the official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings. I'm your 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: host Tatum Everett from the Vikings Entertainment Network, and your 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: Vikes are coming off a huge thirty one to zero 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: victory over the Commanders last week. Now they head to 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: the lone Star State to take on quarterback Dak Prescott 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night football. Dallas's high 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: powered offense is putting up the most yards and points 9 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL this season, but defensively they have been vulnerable. 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: Dallas's defense giving up ninety three points combined in their 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: last three games and the second most points overall in 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. This looks to be a high scoring affair, 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: so the big question is which team will be able 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: to capitalize on their chances early and often. Head coach 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell spoke to the media this week about the 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: challenges posed by this Cowboys team and the opportunities available 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: heading in a Sunday night. 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: All Right, quick injury rundown. We'll just have two players questionable, 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: Hi Chandler still in his ramp up period. Ad another 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: good week. We'll kind of get together as a group 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 2: and determine his status for tomorrow, but he'll go in 22 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: questionable and then Christian Darsall got a limited practice in 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: today and we'll see how he feels coming off of today, 24 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: but other than that, won't have any other designations for 25 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: the game. Excited for this opportunity. Looking to our team 26 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 2: to consistency has been the word that we've talked about. 27 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: Have not stacked two performances together completely as a team 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: yet this year, And obviously another good week of practice. 29 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: Our guys are in a great mindset and we're gonna 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,919 Speaker 2: need it going down there Sunday Night football Dallas Cowboys, 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: you know, with obviously them being a very talented team, 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: well coached shot. He does a great job fluse on 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: the defensive side. So got our hands full and we 34 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: need to play well and need to stack a couple 35 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: of weeks here together. 36 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: Kevin, it sounds like Jordan Datisy was fine for the game, 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: which is what happened with that Achilles. 38 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: Nothing really happened, just you know the product of kind 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: of normal December football kind of soreness, and he's just 40 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: been limited a little bit here and there, but won't 41 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: have a designation for the game. 42 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 4: What if your respect level for Dak. 43 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 2: Oh ton I mean, I think you know it leads 44 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: the league in passing. You see him will that team 45 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: to to wins. Obviously they've got a lot of talent 46 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: around him on that offense, but just you know, his 47 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: makeup is the way he leads, the way he you know, 48 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 2: the youth, there is a sense of belief that they're 49 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: going to go out there and win every game because 50 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: of how he operates in the standard he's set not 51 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: only for himself, but that he sets for that team 52 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 2: and and and others follow. So I couldn't respect Dak 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: Prescott anymore as a person and more importantly, you know, 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: just as a quarterback in this league for a really 55 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: long time. Came to the league as a fourth round pick. 56 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: Did love him coming out, but he's proved a lot 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: of people right as far as the type of player 58 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: in person that he is. 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 5: And how much how much different is their defense with. 60 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: Williams, Yeah, it's different. I mean, he's incredibly impactful. They 61 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: already had a really solid into your front with some 62 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: impact guys in there that we know well, and then 63 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: they add him to it gives them great depth but 64 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: it allows them to put a grouping on the field 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: where where they're you know, there's there's not a lot 66 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: of uh, there's not a lot of doubt on what 67 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: they're attempting to do. You know, get five to one 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: on ones, disrupt the run game like crazy. You've seen 69 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: it his ability. I know, we we get carried away 70 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: a lot with the overall statistics for a season, but 71 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: teams change, they evolved, They maybe add a player like 72 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: that throughout the season, and regardless of what the big 73 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: picture numbers may be, the current film might tell a 74 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: totally different story. And that's what his addition has kind 75 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: of meant for. I think this team and and how 76 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: they're playing with him in. 77 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 4: There, Kevin, when their kicker can make it from sixty five? 78 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, how does that change the dynamic for how you 79 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: manage it? Yeah? 80 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: I think you got to You got to understand that. 81 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: You know, situational football could be different. You know, how 82 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: you handle the end of the first half could be 83 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: different because between the dynamic kickoff and and maybe the 84 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: one of the best returners in our league, and then 85 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: the fact that they're a player to even if you 86 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: handle that play well, there are one or two. You know, 87 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: dat completions from giving him a swing at it, and 88 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: you almost have to look like it. It look like 89 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: any time left on the clock, he's going to get 90 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: a swing at it. If you think about it. You know, 91 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 2: a great returner and a kicker that can you know, 92 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: kick it from you know, probably outside the building and 93 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: have a chance to make it. You know, you've you've 94 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: got to either decide can we execute maybe a unique 95 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: kind of kick, you know, to try to see if 96 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: you can, which Will's done a few times this year 97 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: where we've you know, forced the touch back to the 98 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: twenty and because he can you know, either hit a 99 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: certain kind of kick or try to play the game 100 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: with the returner of where he's going to kick it. 101 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: You got to try some things, but more likely you've 102 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: got to cover down and make sure that you can 103 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: turn it into Will momentum play for you where if 104 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: you can get that returner down you know, anywhere inside 105 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: the thirty five, that's a it's a win for that 106 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: group on that D and D. And now the defense 107 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: has got to go out there and make sure there's 108 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: no let up because, like I said, one completion it 109 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: doesn't even have to be a chunk play and he's 110 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 2: probably taking a swing at one. 111 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: The Vikings offense accounted for one hundred and sixty two 112 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: yards on the ground Sunday, and the offensive line was humming. 113 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: Vikings guard Will Fries was encouraged by their ability to 114 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: sustain long drives against the Commanders, and they hope to 115 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: repeat their previous performance down in Dallas. 116 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 6: It's a lot of fun and anytime that you can 117 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 6: move the ball like that in the run game, you 118 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 6: or it helps old up the whole offense. So, you know, 119 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 6: for us to continue to have success, you know, we've 120 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 6: got to keep the one game going. We be able 121 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 6: to lean on defensive lines in front seven, so you 122 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 6: know it's important that we take advantage those ups from 123 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 6: practice and you know, make them go in the game 124 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 6: when they're called. 125 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: Do you think that helps McCarthy get comfortable too, obviously 126 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: to being able to run the ball. Could you sense 127 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 3: that at all last week? 128 00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 7: Yeah? 129 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 6: I think so, you know, as a you know, as 130 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 6: a guy, as a quarterback, I'm sure he wants, you know, 131 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 6: sling the ball over the place, and that's fun for quarterbacks. 132 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 6: But you know, I think for you know, the whole team, 133 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 6: for us it's fun to run block, so you know, uh, 134 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 6: I think it all kind of marries together, and you know, 135 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 6: I think it helps him out. Uh, you know in 136 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 6: the in the long run. 137 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 3: You ever been part of a nineteen play drive that 138 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: goes twelve minutes like that? 139 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 6: I mean, that's yeah, that was that was That was 140 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 6: a heck of a drive. It was a lot of fun, 141 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 6: yet pretty tiring towards the end there like oh yeah, 142 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 6: I'm sure, I'm sure. But you know, that's a that's 143 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 6: a that's a good drive for us to build off of, 144 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 6: you know, to prove ourselves and maybe if a run 145 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 6: doesn't go or or you know, not necessarily a positive 146 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 6: play happens, you know, you know, we can step back 147 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 6: up to the line and continue to drive. You got 148 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 6: to go. And you know, JJ did a great job 149 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 6: making some stuff happen on third down, and all our receivers, 150 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 6: you know, credit to them for you know, getting us, uh, 151 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 6: you know, moving down the line again us you know, 152 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 6: some exposed places we needed it. So it was a whole, 153 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 6: a whole group effort and everyone, you know, that's what 154 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 6: we need to continue to build. All eleven guys doing 155 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 6: their job at the same time, and be able to 156 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 6: you know, like I said before, marry the run in 157 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 6: the past game and that's how you you know, have 158 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 6: an efficient offense and you know we're able to you know, 159 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 6: score some good points Dallas. 160 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 3: I know Michaeh. Parsons obviously not there anymore, but that 161 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: that pass rush, that d line is just as good. 162 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, they have an extremely talented and uh you know 163 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 6: defensive line. It to be a challenge for us this week. 164 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 6: You know, we have to really be on our fundamentals 165 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 6: and technique and uh, you know, play hard, play through 166 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 6: the whistle. You know, they're like I said, they're a 167 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 6: really good front and a lot of good players, and 168 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 6: you know we'd be need to need to be on 169 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 6: our you know p's and q's and all that stuff 170 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 6: this week. 171 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: If you could take one thing, I know Dallas and 172 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 3: the Commanders are two different football teams, but if you 173 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: could take something from last week and reapply it this 174 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: week for the offense, what would that be? 175 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 6: You know, I think it's just a mentality of you know, 176 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 6: not being denied and you know, really honing on those details, 177 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 6: you know, kind of like I was saying before, when 178 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 6: we're you know detailed that all eleven guys are doing 179 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 6: their job. You know a lot of good things can 180 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 6: happen on offense, so you know, it's that extra focus. 181 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 6: It's you know a lot of things that haven't necessarily 182 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 6: gone our way this year, but you know it's time 183 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 6: to kind of build off of that, be consistent and 184 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 6: the you know, start building off that game last week. 185 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is only one hundred and 186 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: ninety yards away from his sixth straight one thousand yard 187 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: season with four games remaining. That is a very attainable goal, 188 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: especially the ability to pad those numbers against say Dallas 189 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: secondary that's been a liability this season. Jet spoke to 190 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: the media about playing in prime time and how this 191 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: team can take advantage of the opportunity. 192 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 5: I always always love the big time moments and love 193 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 5: those big time, prime time games. You know, it's just 194 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 5: history wise, you know, we just haven't been good on 195 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 5: those type of games, and you know we haven't shown 196 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 5: up the way we have we should have shown up. 197 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 5: So it's just time for things to change, you know, 198 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 5: Tom for us to go out there with that mentality 199 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 5: to go out there and just kill it no matter 200 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 5: the play. That's called no matter what's going on throughout 201 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 5: the game, as soon as the play gets called, go 202 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 5: executed at the most and just not wait for a 203 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 5: play go could play. 204 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 7: Uh. 205 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 5: So I feel like that's the biggest thing that's that's 206 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 5: uh you know talked about. Uh and it's just all 207 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 5: about just us sticking together as a team and not 208 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 5: really listening to the outside noise and just playing our 209 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 5: own ball. 210 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 4: What do you think you've learned about yourself this year? 211 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 7: Uh? 212 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 5: Being patient?

You want to be a big part of 217 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 5: the offense and big part of uh you know, just 218 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 5: having all of the yards and everything. But uh, sometimes 219 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 5: you gotta sacrifice that for to be a leader, to 220 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 5: be uh you know, a person that has that good 221 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 5: energy uh throughout the week even though things aren't the best. 222 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 5: So uh, I'll say patience is definitely one of the 223 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 5: things that I have to learn this. 224 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 8: Year that some people just throw out the term leadership 225 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 8: a lot.

Is ideal, not always going to happen, but uh, 307 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 9: but you know, you're trying to find ways to attack 308 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 9: the defense and at the same time do things our 309 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 9: guys do well. 310 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 6: When you love the game planning with a quarterback at 311 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 6: JJ's state of his career, first year doing this, how 312 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 6: much of a learning curve is there. 313 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 5: For coaches what he likes, how to coach him, how. 314 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 9: To work with in the game planning. Yeah, I think, uh, 315 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 9: I think you got to be careful with what what 316 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 9: they like. I mean, you obviously don't want to call 317 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 9: plays or put plays in that they don't like. But 318 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 9: sometimes there's just a level of a young quarterback doesn't 319 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 9: always maybe see it see it the way we see it. 320 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 9: And generally there's some discussions, you know, about certain plays 321 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 9: where hey, and it's not like, hey, I don't like this, 322 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 9: it's hey, what are what are you seeing here?

Is is happening on this on this scheme? 325 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 9: You know, And then and once it's explained, you you know, oftentimes, 326 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 9: you know, Kevin might pull up some clips say hey, 327 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 9: this is this is what we're seeing in this coverage. 328 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 9: You see that and generally generally, you know, the quarterbacks 329 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 9: in this league they understand those types of things. But uh, 330 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 9: but yeah, we're you know, our job is to try 331 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 9: to try to put in plays that our players can execute. 332 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 9: So you know, if there's something we feel I feel like, uh, 333 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 9: you know, it's just not quite there yet. With any 334 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 9: player at any position or you know, then then we'll 335 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 9: try to stay away from those things or or try 336 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 9: to coach it hard during the week, and and and 337 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 9: if we really like something, and and give them the 338 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 9: why and make sure they understand why it's in. What 339 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 9: do you think of Dallas's defense? And they move a 340 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 9: lot up front. They play hard, extremely hard. They've got 341 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 9: a lot of good athletes, a lot of former first 342 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 9: round picks. And you know, obviously adding Quinn Williams with 343 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 9: Kenny Clark inside, two really good players on the inside. 344 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 9: But their edge guys, you know, have played very hard 345 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 9: as well. I'm fifty four and forty one are guys 346 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 9: that don't get a lot of play extremely hard along 347 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 9: with you know, the more name guys Fowlers and Clowney's 348 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 9: and they got a lot, They got a lot of 349 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 9: talent over there. The linebackers are very athletic. Hooker at 350 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 9: safety has been been a good player in this league 351 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 9: for a long time. You know, Diggs will see see 352 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 9: where he's at as far as you know, being able 353 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 9: to play this week. But Bland has obviously been great 354 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 9: ball skills. You know, he's kind of a dangerous guy 355 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 9: out there. Playing that field corner to try to throw 356 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 9: some balls out there on him. So yeah, it's good. 357 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 9: It's a good defense. I always said, you know, when 358 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 9: when Flus was here, I got a lot of respect 359 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 9: for him as a coordinator and scheme wise and how 360 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 9: they attack the football. You know, the whole the whole 361 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 9: system that he's run and it's and you know, to 362 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 9: his credit, he's a good coach. He's he's doing some 363 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 9: different things there with those players and than he did 364 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 9: in Chicago with the group he had there. 365 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: One of the key performances last week included the three 366 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: touchdown pass performance by quarterback JJ McCarthy. Going into the game, 367 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk about adjusting the game 368 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: plan to speed up the offense, and the adjustment seemed 369 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: to result in those three receiving scores for tight ends. 370 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: Josh Oliver and TJ. Hockinson. JJ spoke on Wednesday about 371 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: how the Vikings offense can continue to build on that 372 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: success and why game to game consistency is key. 373 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 4: The boys and I were coming off a great win, 374 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 4: but you know, there's a lot of things that we 375 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 4: need to fix, a lot of the ways we can 376 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 4: get better and continue to grow as offense, defense, and 377 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 4: special teams, and we're excited to attack these this film 378 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 4: and get ready for tomorrow to get better. 379 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 3: Do you build on what do you take from last 380 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 3: week's game that you want to keep going forward? 381 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 4: You now, I feel like, you know, there was a 382 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 4: point in the game where the defense took the ball 383 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 4: away and we weren't weren't able to capitalize, you know, 384 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 4: going three and out. There is something that you know 385 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 4: sits with us as an offense, me personally, and just 386 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 4: making sure we capitalize on those turnovers because that changes 387 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 4: the momentum of. 388 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 5: The entire game. 389 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 9: What does Dallas's defense looked like? 390 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: Obviously, you know they made the trade before the year 391 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: for Parsons and they've done some different. 392 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 9: Things, gave up a lot to de trade. 393 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 8: When you see them, what do you see athletic gamble 394 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 8: a lot? 395 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 4: What do they do from an overall scheme standpoint? You know, 396 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 4: ibra Flus has been doing this for a while. Tremendous 397 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: respect for him and the way he calls his game, 398 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 4: calls the game and you know, coaches those players. But obviously, 399 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 4: you know, really good in the interior, you know, with 400 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 4: those two guys up front, those two additions, it's going 401 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 4: to be, you know, a test for us up front. 402 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 4: You know they got you know, maybe Trayvon back. The 403 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 4: linebackers are extremely athletic, extremely physical, and you know we're 404 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 4: gonna have a work cut out for us. So we 405 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 4: just got to continue to work and you know, execute 406 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 4: this game plan and see where we end up Sunday night. 407 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 9: Much for playing that big, grandiose stadium and all that 408 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 9: goes with the you know, Cowboy Nation and the Cowboy Aura. 409 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 4: It's amazing. It's an honor. You know, it's every kid's 410 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 4: dream growing up watching NFL football to play in that stadium. 411 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 4: I've been fortunate enough to play there twice for seven 412 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 4: on seven and then practice there when I was at 413 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 4: IMG Academy and we're playing Dunkinville that weekend. So it's 414 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 4: a tremendous stadium. And can't wait to get back there. 415 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 3: Having the type of game you did Sunday, like, confidence wise, 416 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: how does that kind of spring. 417 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 4: Board you into the next week. That's something I expect 418 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 4: every week, you know, to go out there and execute 419 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 4: at a high level. But you know, it's about being consistent. 420 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 4: You know, that's the true measure of performance is consistency 421 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 4: and making sure we could do it over and over again. 422 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 4: And we know it as an offense, you're only as 423 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 4: successful as your last successful act. So every single drive, 424 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 4: every single play, we just got to focus on that 425 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 4: next one and execute that. 426 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: One of the veteran leaders for the Vikings defense is 427 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: a linebacker, Eric Wilson, who's made his presence known with 428 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: the five and a half sacks, three forced fumbles, and 429 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: it's currently second on the team with ninety one tackles 430 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: on the season. He spoke in the locker room this 431 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 1: week about the threat post by Dallas's offensive weapons and 432 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: how important forcing turnovers in this game will be. 433 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 7: Turnovers are huge for us, so it's definitely like a 434 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 7: feeling that you keep itching for because it makes such 435 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 7: a difference. Man, it hypes us up. It really keeps momentum. 436 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: So of course, yeah, that twelve minute drive that the 437 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 3: offense had last week, junior person. 438 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, well you don't see that like ever, Like what 439 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 6: was that kind of like? 440 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's cool. It's cool to see them, 441 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 7: you know, roling moving the ball like they did, you know, 442 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 7: taking time off the clock, and I mean it gives 443 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 7: us a rest, so you know we're fresh when we 444 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 7: go back out there. But then for them to go 445 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 7: down there, all those all those yards, you know, all 446 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 7: that time and then put some points on the board. 447 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 8: It's huge. 448 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: Dallas offensively, I mean just that quick glance, they're the 449 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 3: top offense or whatever in the league. Like, what do 450 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 3: you what makes them so good? 451 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know they move the ball around a lot. 452 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 7: I think they're like topping yards, topping this up and that. So, uh, 453 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 7: you gotta be ready for anything. You know. They do 454 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 7: a good job rushing the ball, running back.

But 462 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 3: what if you could pick something to take from last 463 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 3: week defensively to this week, what would that be for you? 464 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 9: Guys? 465 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 7: Just play together, play together, man, play physical ball.
