1 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Welcome into the two Minute Warning, presented by three M, 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: the official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings. I'm your host, 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: Tatum Everett from the Vikings Entertainment Network and your. Vikings 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: are gearing up for their first home divisional game when 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: they host the Bears at us Being Stadium in Week eleven. 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: Coming off a loss to the Ravens, Minnesota is looking 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: to fix their mistakes and get back to five hundred. 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: The Vikings beat the Bears Week one with a big 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: fourth quarter comeback at Soldier Field. Minnesota's eight and one 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: in their last nine games against Chicago, but the Bears 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: are six and three this season and have a knack 12 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: for winning close games as of late. Head coach Kevin 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: O'Connell spoke earlier this week about how he's seen the 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: Bears evolve since that first meeting and his perspective on 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: what it takes to develop a quarterback at the NFL level. 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: The way Ben's calling it, the way they're limiting turnovers, 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: They're forcing a lot of turnovers. You know, we know 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: that formula, you know pretty well as far as having 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: a defense leading the league in turnovers and it equating 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: to possessions chances to win close games in some cases, 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: allowing Caleb then to to play really well and efficiently 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: throughout the game. But he's also shown he can he 23 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: can go get it at the end with his unique 24 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: arm talent, and he's got you know, he's one of 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: the more difficult quarterbacks in the league to get on 26 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: the ground even when you get to him. We've seen 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: that firsthand. So I think it's a mixture of just 28 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: you know, Ben's doing a good job with that offense. 29 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: They've got really good personnel, and they're and the and 30 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: the balance of the early down has kind of kept 31 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: them in a position where if they've got to alter 32 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: and try to go get it and get into that 33 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: two minute phase, they've moved the ball there. They've played 34 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: a couple different styles of games, but it's all really 35 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: centered around winning the turnover battle, I think in all 36 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: six of their wins, and that's always been such a 37 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: critical stat for us and something we got to get 38 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 2: better at. 39 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: The where that you feel like he's really progressed since 40 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: you guys saw. 41 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: What I would say is and we felt it in 42 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: the game in Week one. You know, just some of 43 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: the throws he can make the highest level throw, whether 44 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: it's play play pass, on the move and the keeper game, 45 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: different variations of you know, attacking downfield. And then when 46 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: he does break contain, he can make every throw at 47 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: that point too. And he's made some throws that haven't 48 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 2: you know, necessarily ended up in completions that you know, 49 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: you you end up watching him a few times on 50 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: tape just because of the high, high level of difficulty 51 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: of the throw he can make in and out of 52 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: the pocket. And that's something we've always known about him. 53 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: But you know, like anybody, as they accumulate more snaps 54 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: and you know, building off of what he did last year, 55 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: you know, you're seeing some of that experience kind of 56 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: show up in a consistency now that's helping them win. 57 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: Kevin's a big picture league wide. 58 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 4: Has it become more challenging to have patients with developing a. 59 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: Young quarter Oh, it's you know, it is. It's I 60 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: have long since, like I understood that's what it is. 61 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: And I think you're speaking in regards to kind of 62 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: not only the people in this room, but you know, 63 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: the people that fill seats and stadiums, the people that 64 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: that uh, you know, evaluate the quarterback position from many 65 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: different landscapes. You know, I've always known that. It's always 66 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: been something. I think it's it's becoming more of a 67 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: minute to minute, day to day you know, reflection and 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: kind of final verdict that you're seeing. But at the 69 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 2: same time, I think you've got to look at it 70 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: both ways. You've got to for every time, Uh, there 71 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: can be a moment where is there a coaching point 72 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: to be had, Is there something we can do better? 73 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: Is there is there some consistency of simple principles that 74 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: might enhance the ability to maybe eliminate some of those 75 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: things that may cause people to have a certain you know, uh, 76 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: you know type of opinion. But in the end, it's 77 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: it comes down to the things you are seeing and 78 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: then building upon those while also just like every other position, 79 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: but maybe not as noticeable as the guy that has 80 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: his hand his hand on the ball every single snap 81 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: and his respond to deliver it from point A to 82 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: point B, and and all the things that that are 83 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: very visible to everybody. And so I think we understand that. 84 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: But at the same time, my job is to you know, 85 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: not only by myself, but in conjunction with our staff 86 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 2: and and JJ himself just continuing to coach in a 87 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: way where you know, no stone is unturned, we're recognizing 88 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 2: everything progress areas of immediate improvement. And then and the 89 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: most importantly what I look for is, uh, the consistency 90 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: of being able to put some routine things in that 91 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: category of I can expect them every time and and 92 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: it becomes second nature. And uh, you know, sometimes when 93 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: a guy's making his third or fourth start now or 94 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 2: fifth start this week, it's a lot to ask in 95 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: in the midst of games, especially how they've kind of 96 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: played out. But that doesn't change the fact that we're, 97 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: you know, in a business of you know, trying to 98 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: go onan and know this week and JJ is gonna 99 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: have a great week of prep and we'll continue to progress. 100 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: And uh, there's been a lot of encouraging things to 101 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: go along with some things that you know, we we 102 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: can improve on, and he knows that we know that. 103 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: And that's just that's just kind of where I get 104 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: to be as far as the space that I'm in. 105 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: And everybody's entitled to their own opinion and making that 106 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 2: judgment whenever they feel like it's it's it's time to 107 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: make that judgment. But that's kind of where I'm. 108 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: At Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy will get his second crack 109 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: at the Bears this season. The Evanston, Illinois native had 110 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: a memorable finish in the first game, but it's facing 111 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: a defense that's ramped up the pressure, accounting for nine 112 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: sacks in the last three games. JJ spoke this week 113 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: about how the offense is looking for more consistency following 114 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens loss, and it all starts up front. 115 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 5: What was it like having Ryan Kelly back at practice today? 116 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 5: That was awesome. He's got, you know, this infectious kind 117 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 5: of wise man energy to him. Just everyone feels a 118 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 5: lot more comfortable when he's around in pad suited up, 119 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 5: and uh yeah, he's just one of the leaders on 120 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 5: this team, and you know, he's tremendous to you know, 121 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 5: just be around the guys at all times. 122 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: How's the hand feeling. 123 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 5: It feels good. Yeah, it feels really good. Getting a 124 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 5: lot of treatment in the last few days and we'll 125 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 5: continue to do so. But it's feeling good. 126 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 4: Change how you throw or the way anything about how you. 127 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: Go about things. 128 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 5: I definitely felt it for sure. You know, ripped one 129 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 5: in there pretty good to jets and hit a helmet, 130 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 5: so you know that's gonna you're gonna be feeling it 131 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 5: the rest of the way. But there's no excuses. It 132 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 5: all got to find ways to you know, adapt and 133 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 5: make sure the ball gets the receiver. 134 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: Was it that play with the throat of the end zone? Yes, sir, Yeah, sir, Yeah, 135 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: I know after the game you talked about taking responsibility 136 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: with Connell talking about the communication more poise, like, how 137 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: do you feel you're handling just moving forward, trying to 138 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: clean up just your communication. 139 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 5: How you set the table for the communication on the 140 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 5: front end. I feel like was the biggest thing for us. 141 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 5: Just making sure, you know, going into the week, everyone 142 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 5: knows the cadences, everyone knows which ones we're gonna use 143 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 5: and sticking to that. You know, there's a lot of 144 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 5: different you know, tempos and rhythms to my cadence that 145 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 5: you know, I have to clean up and make sure 146 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 5: that we're all spot on for every single play and 147 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 5: every single motion and all those little things. But yeah, 148 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 5: there's been a huge emphasis on just the little things, 149 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 5: and that's one of the things we're hitting on. 150 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: Jase, what do you think you've learned about yourself as 151 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: a quarterback since the first game against the Bears. 152 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 3: A lot. 153 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 5: I learned a lot. The biggest thing that comes to 154 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 5: mind is just consistency. You know, that's the name of 155 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 5: the game in this league and any real profession is 156 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 5: just how can you be consistently great over and over again? 157 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 5: And you know, it all comes down to the little 158 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 5: things in your routine. How disciplined are you with your habits, 159 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 5: How disciplined are you with your mental thought patterns, all 160 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 5: the little stuff that you know goes into play to 161 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 5: making sure you stay in that flow for sixty minutes. 162 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: Hitting this week to week mentally different than what it 163 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: was in college. 164 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 5: It is a lot, for sure. I think, you know, 165 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 5: just the magnitude of each game in the NFL, all 166 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 5: the you know, intense attention on every single week. You know, 167 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 5: it's a lot. So you know, young guys could get 168 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 5: wrapped up in that emotional roller coaster and I'll be 169 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 5: lying to you if I said I didn't you know 170 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 5: some points in this year. So it's just all about, 171 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 5: you know, staying focus on the things in front of you, 172 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 5: not worrying about, you know, the outcome of last week 173 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 5: or focusing on expectations for this week. It's how am 174 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 5: I getting better right now? Right here? 175 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: Running back Aaron Jones scored his first rushing touchdown of 176 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: the season on the Vikings opening drive against the Ravens. 177 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: He is this year's Viking's nominee for the NFL Salute 178 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: to Service Award for his dedication to giving back to 179 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: our nation's military. Why he was so deserving of this 180 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: nomination was never more relevant than in last week's Salute 181 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: to Service game. Aaron ran out of the tunnel first 182 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: and surprised his mother at the end of the run. 183 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: Both Aaron's parents served in the military. He spoke about 184 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: that moment and what an important divisional game it is 185 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday at his weekly media availability. 186 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 3: What was it like seeing or grand It was special, amazing, 187 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 3: Definitely probably one of my top moments in the NFL, 188 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: just to be able to get in that mode like hey, 189 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 3: I'm about to go to battle, but then I have 190 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 3: the honor to run out with the flag, and the 191 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 3: reason that I'm able to run out with the flag 192 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 3: is because of the sacrifices that my parents made and 193 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: then to run out with the flag. Last year, I 194 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 3: almost cried when I got to run out with it 195 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 3: because it was the first time I got to do 196 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: something like that. So when they told me, hey, you're 197 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: gonna I was honored again, and it's like so much gratitude. 198 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: But once I get down there, run through my teammates 199 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 3: and I see my mom is, it was just like wow, 200 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: like you're on the field, let's go. And then my 201 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: mom said, this was the best day ever. So it 202 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 3: was we gotta go have a day, and I was 203 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: glad I was able to get in the end zone 204 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: for her and make her day a little special. 205 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: Did you know she was in town or you just 206 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: didn't know she would be on the field. 207 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 3: Or I didn't know she would be on the field. 208 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: I knew she was in town.

They didn't beat us in everything that 229 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 3: that happened is controllable. That's a really good football team 230 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: that just that we lost too. But we feel like 231 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: we beat ourselves, and I feel like that's been the 232 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 3: case in a couple of them. So that's why we're 233 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: confident and we have everything.

Welcome back to the two Minute 252 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: Warning once again. I'm your host, Tatum Everett. Bears head 253 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: coach Ben Johnson has his team playing at a high 254 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: level going into Week eleven. The Bears are six and 255 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: three and have won six of their last seven games. 256 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: One reason for the team's turn around from their zero 257 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,359 Speaker 1: and two start is the play of quarterback Caleb Williams. 258 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores has seen growth in Caleb's 259 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: games since Week one and knows that his defense will 260 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: need to do everything possible to keep the Bears offense 261 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: off the field at US Bank Stadium. 262 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 6: It'll be a big challenge. They're they're playing well, and 263 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 6: you know, we've got to make the corrections, and I 264 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 6: think you could see, you know, major improvements, you know, 265 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 6: just from mechanics, command of the offense. You know, he's 266 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 6: still you know, one of the most elusive and big 267 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 6: time quarterback mobility and arm strength and you know, can 268 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 6: make throws from every angle, but you know, certainly a 269 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 6: lot better at just sitting in the pocket and making throws. 270 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 6: But you know, everybody's playing well for them. You know, 271 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 6: the receivers, the ad line's playing well, tight ends, running backs, 272 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 6: they've got balance within the offense. They're doing a lot 273 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 6: of really good things from that standpoint, and Ben's always 274 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 6: a challenge. You know, he's always got a great schematics 275 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 6: and you know, division of labor and you know, putting 276 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 6: guys in best positions. So you know, certainly a challenge 277 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 6: really from schematically and just from a coaching standpoint, but 278 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 6: also they got a lot of good players. 279 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 5: Also having success running the football. Just how much different 280 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 5: is it for Caleb when they can get their run 281 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 5: game going. 282 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think anytime you're gonna have balance 283 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 6: within the offense, it just opens everything, you know up 284 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 6: in the past game in the screen game, and you 285 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 6: know you're moving the ball and getting into you know, 286 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 6: let's call it just scoring range without you know, putting 287 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 6: the ball in the air, you know, absorbing the risk 288 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 6: of putting it up in the air and things like that. 289 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 6: So it you know, you've heard the the phrases the 290 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 6: quarterbacks best friend and so you know they're doing a 291 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 6: good job from that standpoint, and uh, you know, for him, 292 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 6: it just you know, it creates more space, you know, 293 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 6: in the passing game, just because there's more guys who 294 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 6: have to move up to handle the run game. And uh, 295 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 6: you know they've done They've done a nice job. 296 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 5: And what stands out about the Bears just in the 297 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 5: late game moments, I think easy lad with fat Yeah. 298 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 6: I mean he's you know, he's uh, he's proven that 299 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 6: you know in those moments. He's he's come up big 300 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 6: multiple times. Looks like he thrives in those moments, which, 301 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 6: for you know, a young quarterback is certainly an area 302 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 6: of that you want to see, you know. And for us, 303 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 6: you know, we know that if that it comes down 304 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 6: to those moments, which most games in the NFL do, 305 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 6: you know, we've got to be at our best because 306 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 6: he's going to be at his best and they're going 307 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 6: to be at their best. And you know, it's the 308 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 6: division game, so that's probably what it's going to be, 309 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 6: so we know it's going to be a sixty minute battle. Uh, 310 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 6: we've got to prepare the right way. It's gonna be 311 00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 6: a big, big challenge. 312 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: Asked for the Vikings offense, there was one player who 313 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: stole the show last week. Jalen Naylor had a career 314 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: day and another clutch performance with his first one hundred 315 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: yard game and a toe dragswag fourth quarter touchdown. I 316 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: sat down with him this week to talk about how 317 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: he's developed his relationship with quarterback JJ McCarthy and his 318 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: motto for the season. I think we all noticed how 319 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: quarterback friendly you are. For JJ McCarthy. He was really 320 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: excited after the game, saying speedy. I knew he was 321 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: going to show up since week one and praised your 322 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: attitude and your work ethic. What does it mean to 323 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: hear him say that about you after the game? 324 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 4: It means a lot coming from our quarterback. You know, 325 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 4: he drives a ship. So him having that confidence in me, 326 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 4: it just gives me more and more confidence to go 327 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 4: out and just play ball, play fast, you know, and 328 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 4: just he'd be a playmaker. 329 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: What are some of the things that you guys worked on, 330 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: whether it was the off season or training camp that 331 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: really solidified your chemistry. 332 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 4: I'd say more and more so off the field, with 333 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 4: like film and stuff like that, things that he's seeing 334 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 4: within different coverages and things like that, like the game. 335 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 4: Like this past game, I had the cross round through 336 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 4: the middle, and throughout the week he was telling me, 337 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 4: if you see this whole open up kind of like 338 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 4: throw it down a little bit and I'll find you. 339 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 4: And it happened in the game. So I mean we 340 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 4: have that connection there off the field, just just going 341 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 4: over film and things like that. 342 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: That's really awesome. Do you do you guys do that 343 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: every week. 344 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 4: It's just more of a. 345 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: Like whenever he sees something specifically, yeah, well that's nice y. 346 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: Have you had that happen before for you, like with 347 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: a quarterback. 348 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 4: No, it was like the first time. 349 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, what is that? What is that like? 350 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 4: It's nice, you know, just to know that I have 351 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 4: a quarterback that's willing to get all these guys the ball, 352 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 4: no matter how it comes. Just just being that kind 353 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 4: of leader and not trying to force force things and 354 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 4: just trying to spread the ball around and get guys 355 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 4: the ball. 356 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have to go that far back to 357 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: find another clutch catch from you. Let's go to the 358 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: Detroit game where you may have had that one grab, 359 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: but that one grab seal the whole entire game. How 360 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: are you able to show up in moments where there 361 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: is so much pressure and so much on the line. 362 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 4: H just my confidence in myself and the play that's 363 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 4: being called. You know, we got the perfect call for 364 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 4: that play man man, and I had a feeling that 365 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 4: if I win on my release that the ball could 366 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 4: be going up to me, and that's what happened. I 367 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 4: just came down with it. You know. My model this 368 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 4: year has just been catch everything that comes my way, 369 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 4: and I feel like I'm doing a great job so 370 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 4: far at that. 371 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: Why is that your motto this year. 372 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 4: Oh, you know, I had a couple couple drop issues 373 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 4: last year, just just trying to be more consistent in 374 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 4: the past game. Just catch the ball. 375 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: Easier said than done, right, Because I'm sure there are 376 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: things new things that you did this offseason to help 377 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: with that. What were some of the things that you 378 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: did to improve on that. 379 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 4: Definitely getting stronger, really didn't getting in the weight room, 380 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 4: more things like that, and just throughout a daily basis. 381 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 4: You know, me and me and coach mccardeal, we always 382 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 4: talk and he always tells me intitional with my eyes 383 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 4: when the ball's coming my way. And that was a 384 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 4: big thing last year that I struggled with a little bit, 385 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 4: just just taking my eye off the ball too early. 386 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 4: And I've been trying to work on that every day. 387 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: It seems to be working, yes, ma'am. Well, because the 388 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: Vikings are playing the Bears this weekend, that means we 389 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: got to reconnect with an old friend. ESPN's Courtney Cronin 390 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: now covers the Bears back in Chicago after many years 391 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: of covering your Purple. I got up with Courtney this 392 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: week for a more in depth look at how the 393 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: Bears have turned things around this season. 394 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 7: Well, I think Vikings fans can resonate with this because 395 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 7: they remember all those one score games their team was 396 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 7: in back in twenty twenty two, and this sort of 397 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 7: has a little feel like that here in Chicago. Give 398 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 7: the way that the Bengals game went, and then this 399 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 7: last weekend against the New York Giants, and of course 400 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 7: Washington in Week six and the Raiders before that, there's 401 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 7: been a little bit of this like heart palpitation sort 402 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 7: of thing that the Bears have given their fans over 403 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 7: the last couple of weeks, given that they're now a 404 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 7: six and three team and they've gotten by on by 405 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 7: the skin of their teeth on a couple of these games, 406 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 7: and certainly the key to that has been Caleb Williams 407 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 7: putting this team in position with four fourth quarter game 408 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 7: winning drives this season, tied for the most in the 409 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 7: NFL currently. But beyond that, like big picture wise, this 410 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 7: team is winning games that it would have lost a 411 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 7: year ago, and players have admitted that. Ben Johnson has 412 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 7: said just as much too, that you learn how to 413 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 7: win like you learn how to shrink the margins when 414 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 7: you can close the gap on teams that you might 415 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 7: have let hang around far too long in a game 416 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 7: that you didn't put away when you had an opportunity to, 417 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 7: when you let penalties come into play, when you let 418 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 7: teams back in games they did two weeks ago in Cincinnati. 419 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 7: But being on the winning end of those, you're not 420 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 7: gonna apologize for wins. Certainly they wish that they could, 421 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 7: you know, and hopefully for that their sake, to be 422 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 7: able to carry this thing forward, to be able to 423 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 7: win games far sooner than the final two minutes. But 424 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 7: they've shown that they can pull it off, and so 425 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 7: far it's worked and has them sitting tied for first 426 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 7: place in the division. 427 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: How much of that is the Ben Johnson effect. 428 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 7: I think that's a big part of it, And there 429 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 7: seems to be a different level of coaching acumen and 430 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 7: decision making when it comes to late game situations. And 431 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 7: the play that I like to point out comes from 432 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 7: Cincinnati two weeks ago. It's not just that the defense 433 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 7: gives up two touchdowns in a forty nine second stretch 434 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 7: and then Caleb Williams goes and hits Colston Lovelin for 435 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 7: that fifty eight yard touchdown. To me, it's the plays 436 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 7: beyond that in the final sequence for Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Flacco, 437 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 7: who has a bum shoulder, is getting ready to launch 438 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 7: a hail Mary pass, and unlike the hail Mary of 439 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 7: last year that torpedo the bear season, they rush the 440 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 7: pass or this time they send for they pressure, they're aggressive, 441 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 7: they're on the attack. That to me is emblematic of 442 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 7: what this coaching staff is bringing to these games and 443 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 7: bringing to their players that their players are then taking 444 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 7: into games. It's a competency thing that I think boils 445 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 7: down to the very nitty gritty level from play to play, 446 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 7: where they've got coaches that trust their players, but players 447 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 7: who also know that their coaches are going to put 448 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 7: them in a better situation than we would have seen 449 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 7: last year at this time, and that has carried over 450 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 7: to the belief that they have in each other, the 451 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 7: belief that this locker room has. That you've got a 452 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 7: quarterback who has a switch he can flip in a 453 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 7: two minute mode, whether it's at the end of the 454 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 7: first half end of the second half. He has the 455 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 7: second highest QBR in the NFL right now two minutes 456 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 7: or less either half. So clearly they've got the right 457 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 7: people in place right now. To be able to be 458 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 7: sitting at six and three. But I also know that 459 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 7: they talk about the fact that nothing is clean enough 460 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 7: just yet. You got to put together like They have 461 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 7: not played a full complimentary football game this year, and 462 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 7: that still remains to be seen how and when they 463 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 7: will do that. 464 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: The game is once again back at US Bank Stadium 465 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday.
