18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: if we want to call this guy our special guest,

19

Speaker 1: Because he's not special.

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: He's not special, he just so happens to be analysts.

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: Ever since I was ever since I was a kid.

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: People are like, yeah, that guys, a little kid's a

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: little special. I mean, I thought it was a good thing.

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: And then one day when I once I started dating, right,

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: girls are like, yeah, no, we don't deal with people

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: special people. I mean, what does that mean. I don't know.

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: We we knew you had a future, we just didn't

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: know how bright it was. When you're here. We are

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: when you're growing up and your best friends are always teachers, right,

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: something's wrong, something's wrong.

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: You're you're smart enough to understand that education is key.

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: And I was ugly too because when I when I

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: was little, you know, the play with the dog. Every

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: time i'd go play with the dog, my mom would

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: tie a pork chopp around my neck just to get

38
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: the dog to play with me. Right, And I thought

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: that was I thought that was a normal thing for

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: that we did that people did right. Apparently Apparently it's not. Hey,

41
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: welcome to the Minnesota Vikings podcast.

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: Can't say the same. I didn't have that problem, of course.

43
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: You Hey, well look there has been some some quality

44
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: depth that the Vikings have added. They've added some beef

45
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: on the interior offensive and defensive line. Dan Feenie Jonah Williams,

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: both the newest acquisitions for this Minnesota Vikings team via

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: free agency, and Pete. When you look at both of

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: those guys, Dan feene who was with the Chicago Bears

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: last year, played center, can play both guard positions. Then

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: Jonah Williams, who was a defensive lineman for the Rams.

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 3: I believe he was with Kevin O'Connell for a few years.

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I believe that's the Dean Lowry replacement.

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: Just knowing that Dean Lowry is not on our roster anymore,

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: the Vikings decided to release him early on a free agency.

55
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: When you look at those two guys and you look

56
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 3: at our twenty twenty four free agency class of nine players,

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: how do those two guys fit into what Quasi and

58
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: our I guess our front office is trying to do.

59
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: Hey, I think the depth at the interior defensive line

60
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: is absolutely something that, uh you know that that we needed.

61
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: I mean, we had Sheldon Day come in and give

62
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: us some good, really good snaps. Actually for a couple

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: of weeks is around the rate when we played the

64
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: Raiders and everything. So yeah, you need you need, you

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: need bodies. You can't have too many good defensive linemen,

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: especially the interior. And you know, offensively, uh we've yeah,

67
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: we've had we've had injuries. So you you bring in

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: experience guys. I think that's the good thing. So when

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: you get to the draft, if you if you do

70
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: to reach, not reach, but pick a guy early at

71
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: a certain position. You know, then the guys that you signed,

72
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: could you move over to the guard? Foeni could play guard.

73
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: So if you draft a center and move them the guard,

74
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: if you draft a guard and keep them at center,

75
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: and I hate to say the word expendable, but it

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: gives you a lot of flexibility and depth. And that's

77
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: exactly you know, you've addressed a lot of the star

78
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: arting positions. But yeah, you have to continue to build.

79
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: And let's face it, this team's we're here. We are

80
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: where we are mainly because of turnovers and injuries. Right,

81
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: those are the two things last year that really killed us.

82
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: And so the combat that the injury side of things,

83
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: you got to build up.

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: It's really exciting to see that there are some big

85
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: boys coming here. I guess you could say, like guys

86
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: that are going to add so much depth and presence

87
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: and experience in the line. I think that's something. When

88
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm on Twitter or asking for pick six questions, a

89
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: lot of people are very much like, where's the depth?

90
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: We need more more presence on the line. And it's

91
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: it's good to see this this happening.

92
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: I think QUESTI might like him by the pound, right,

93
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: It's like he might have that might be a chart

94
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: that he has. It's just dollars per pound. How much

95
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: does this guy cost on a per pound basis? And

96
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: I think both these guys are probably good values in

97
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: his in his eyes and brought them in.

98
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: I mean, speaking of value, everyone has been saying that

99
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: the Vikings have, you know, made some value picks. Aaron Jones,

100
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: Jonathan Grenard, just all these value guys that have been

101
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: gone early on a free agency How how just would

102
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: you sum up the Vikings offseason thus far when it

103
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: comes to gaining some of those valuable free agent signings.

104
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: All right, Well you start with you start with Aaron Jones.

105
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: And we've seen him, you know, we've seen him for

106
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: years now. We're very familiar with his game and how

107
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: good of a cutback runner he is and the style

108
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: that green with which Green Bay used him. That's going

109
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: to be the question is are we going to tweak

110
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: our running game? You bring up areas of improvement, Well,

111
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: short yardage running game and obviously the deep red zone

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: running game are two areas that have been kind of

113
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: a thorn in our side. You think about the Cincinnati

114
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: game with with two shots to get one yard, you

115
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: can't get him my red zone and and you know

116
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: you are are starting running back on in the season,

117
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: didn't have a rushing touchdown. Yeah, those things have to

118
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: be fixed. You have to fix those things. So Aaron Jones,

119
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: I think is part of that. The question is going

120
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: to be how much are we going to tweak what

121
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: we do from a from a schematic running game standpoint

122
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: to match his skill set. You know, we'll see I

123
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: think he ty Chandler ran a lot, you know when

124
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: he was in North Carolina, ran a lot of the

125
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: counters and let you know, kind of the plays develop.

126
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: So we might see more of that in our running game.

127
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: That might be a tweak and it's something I'm very

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: interested to see what happens. You know defensively, you look

129
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: at Grenard, it was kind of a it was kind

130
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: of a trade, right. You have two guys that from

131
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: a production standpoint, getting after the quarterback numbers wise about

132
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: the same. Grenard's just twenty six, right, He's a lot younger,

133
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: and I think he's a he's a little different. He's more.

134
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: I think he's has the power, but he's speed. He's

135
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: so fast, so quick, so at him. Him and Van

136
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: Ginkel are now going to be our outside linebackers, and

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be much more versatile players.

138
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: He didn't see dj Wanham and Daniel Hunter in coverage

139
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: much at all. Sometimes they would drop them out and

140
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: they would just kind of cover the ground. There's there's

141
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: you know, their defensive ends, they don't cover a lot well.

142
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: These guys have that ability, So that's going to give

143
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Floras a lot more I think flexibility Cashman. Cashman is

144
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: a lot like Ivan Pace in the fact that he

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: operates very well in the box. He's a very good blitzer.

146
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: You can use him in a lot of different ways.

147
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: We saw in film. He can he knows how to

148
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: run some stunts to ets and things like that. He

149
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: can do all those things. So versatility with all three

150
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: of those guys that have been added are huge and

151
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: in a system like with Flora's, I mean that's that's

152
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: exactly what you want to have, and these guys definitely

153
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: have it. So we've gotten a little smaller though on

154
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: the outside linebacker position, a little less physical because they're smaller.

155
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: So I think that means these interior tackles that we're

156
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: going to get or we need to get, are are

157
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: going to be even more and more important.

158
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: When you look at their style of play, does that

159
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: fit of Flora's. I mean they talked about seeing the

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: speed and all that stuff. Is there a player that

161
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: you think might be the standout?

162
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: I think the guy that might surprise us is is

163
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: Uh Cashman, right. I think he's he started as a

164
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: special teams guy last year, had a good you know,

165
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: had a good year with with the Texans, and I

166
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: think his skill set is a Josh Mantelis likes. You know.

167
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: When I say that, I mean he can do a

168
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: lot of different things and there aren't there aren't a

169
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: lot of you know, Jordan Hicks did a good job.

170
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: I still think about that blitz, the big play. I

171
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: think it was in it was in overtime against Cincinnati

172
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: where we were hicks blitzed and he was a fraction

173
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: of a second away from hitting the quarterback and it

174
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: would have been a fumble and we would have had

175
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: you know, got the ball back. And all that cash

176
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: man I think can make, can can make all those

177
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: kinds of plays, can cover man to man. He has

178
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: a you know, that athleticism. So man, it's it's such

179
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: a good fit. And I think he's going to make

180
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: a lot of big key plays. I think you know

181
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: that Flora is going to put him in those spots.

182
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 2: So we expect Grenard to get twelve to sixteen sash

183
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: right Van Ginkel. Then you know the thing about Van

184
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: Ginkle that's very interesting is I think he scored like

185
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, yeah, in his career, a fumble recovery and

186
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: pun it was a punt pup block recovery. I mean,

187
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 2: the guy scored a lot of touchdowns, which is just crazy,

188
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: you know. And so he has a nose for the

189
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: football and in all of these all of these guys

190
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: are very very dynamic, and I think the word the

191
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: versatility side of it is what Flores loves. Uh. You

192
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: saw the the other thing that's important too, is you

193
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: saw the three of them at the press conference sitting

194
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: next to each other, and obviously Cashman and Grenard know

195
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: each other. And then Van Ginkle's in there with the

196
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: long hair, you know, looking like thor or whatever.

197
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: And he's kind of he's kind of mild mannered. He's

198
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: very like, kind of soft spoken in a way.

199
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is scary. Go up, go up to him

200
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: and kick him in the shin and see how Yeah, you.

201
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: Know what, Pete, I think I will definitely do that

202
00:09:58,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: great first impression.

203
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: But they they they get along, right, they work together.

204
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: They it's a good, good corps. I think in that

205
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: respect as well, you don't have the defensive line is

206
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 2: a very tough spot because you have a bunch of individuals.

207
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: These guys are not like linemen. They're not sheep right

208
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: offensive lineman. When they go to eat, they walk in

209
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: a single file line, right, They're they're they're very together.

210
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: It's it's a group thing. It's a band, it is,

211
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: and the d Linemen are more renegades. And but I

212
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: think this group, these three can really at least work

213
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: together to do a lot of different things. And and

214
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: I just want to see that next section of the

215
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: Flora's playbook.

216
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 3: I mean you look at all three levels of the defense, right,

217
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: the Vikings addressed the front level with Grenard Andrew Andrew

218
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: Van Ginkel and then Jonah Williams. And then you move

219
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: to the second level the linebackers. Blake Cashman is the

220
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: newest name. When you look at the third level, the

221
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: Vikings brought back your favorite guy, maybe your favorite Viking

222
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: of all time. Correct me if I'm wrong, from your

223
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: alma mater, mister Harrison Smith, who's returning for his thirteen.

224
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: Dixon Edwards is my favorite. Well, he and Robert Smith

225
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: a my my favorite Vikings of all time.

226
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 3: I just don't think I've ever seen you smile as

227
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: hard as you do when you see another person on

228
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: like Harrison Smith, Like when you look at.

229
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: Harry smile when I see Harry because he could talk

230
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: motorcycles and stuff, right, That's why. And and I've got

231
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: you know, I've gotten to know his dad a little bit,

232
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: and his dad is his dad is rebuilding like an

233
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: old FJ forty Toyota, like it's from from the seventies,

234
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: putting it's it's kind of a kindred spirit in that way.

235
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: He's a Notre Dame guy, right, so we can co

236
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: miserate about our experience in Notre Name and what it

237
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: was like to have to go to school there and

238
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: play football. So yeah, we and he's old, right, I

239
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 2: think I'm old. He's old. It's kind of you know, you,

240
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: kind of an old sol kind of mutual mutual that way.

241
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, how does he fit like with with

242
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: him being back for his thirteen season, taking a restructured deal,

243
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: playing under Floores again? There there have been reports that

244
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: have said, you know, one of the main reasons why

245
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: Harry came back is because Flores is back and just

246
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: the chembirashure that they had together. He didn't want to

247
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: do that, to do that with anyone else. How does

248
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: Harry fit with this? I guess young veteran defense now.

249
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna fit just kind of the same

250
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: way that he's kind of He's an unselfish player. He knows,

251
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: he knows what's going on back there, and he's able

252
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: to direct traffic and to make no mistake about it.

253
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: With the safety position, Cam Biningham is the guy that

254
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: is on the cusp of a breakout type of a year.

255
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: If he intercepts every ball, the balls that hit him

256
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: in the hands during the season. Last year he had

257
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: two against San Francisco. He had seven other footballs that

258
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: he could have intercepted. You in that season with nine

259
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: or ten interceptions, you're going to the Pro Bowl. Cam

260
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: by Them is that far away from being a Pro

261
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: Bowl caliber safety. And early on in the season his

262
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: open field tackling was fantastic. So I think for cam

263
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: Bynam's sake, having Harrison Smith next to him, the two

264
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: of them together, it's going to make hopefully him better

265
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: as well. We didn't really see Harry. We saw him

266
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: in the pass rush game a little bit against Carolina,

267
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: had three sacks I mean here and there in the

268
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: blitzing and defending the run as as a deep defender,

269
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: he had opportunities, you know. So, but that's Harry's career.

270
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: If you look at his career, he had five interception year,

271
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: then he'd have none, and then he'd have six, and

272
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: then he'd have none. So hopefully he's back on the

273
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: four or five interception type every type season. And you know,

274
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: we watched him last year, it's not like he lost

275
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: a step. It would be nice if someone like Lewis

276
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: seen or someone else can take some snaps off of him.

277
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: So he's not a ninety five percent type guy that

278
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: he's more more of a seventy or eighty percent that way.

279
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: Those snaps are quality, and he's not wearing himself down.

280
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: But it's a it's just it's a stabilizing presence, no

281
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: question about it. And he's going to help these young

282
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 2: guys or any of the young guys that we draft to,

283
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: you know, learn their way in the NFL. So it's

284
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: important to have some guys like that around.

285
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Now that you've seen some of the defensive pieces from

286
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: free agency fall into place, you've seen who has gone

287
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: to other teams, who we've brought on. Where is a

288
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: position of need that you think the Vikings could find

289
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: some value in in the draft.

290
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: Defensively or defensively the corner still, you know, I think

291
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: you know Caleb Evans, Caleb Evans was kind of hot

292
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: and cold, and I think Makai Blackman did a good job.

293
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: He just needs to figure out what he's going to

294
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: do when he's up against a bigger receiver, a taller receiver.

295
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: We saw that happen a couple of times. Biron Murphy

296
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: I thought played very well. For some reason, he just

297
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: would when the quarterback would scramble and plays would get extended,

298
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: he would just lose guys. And if again, if you

299
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: go back and look at the big plays that hit us,

300
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: a lot of them had to do with Makai Blackman,

301
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: Caleb Evans, and Byron Murphy. And now was that a

302
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: factor of what we had to do up front that

303
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: those guys were left on islands? Do we have some

304
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: more flexibility now to give those guys some help? We will,

305
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: you know, we will see. But I think a huge

306
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: thing for this defense is the evolution of Makai Blackman,

307
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: that he is able to figure out the physicality side too.

308
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: With all the quick whip screens and things that were

309
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: getting on the outside, he's going to have to be physical.

310
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: So he's gonna have to be stronger and then come

311
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: up with a plan for when he's facing a receiver

312
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: that might be six inches taller than him. What he

313
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: you know, what is he going to do? With Caleb Evans,

314
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: A lot of it's just I think awareness with him,

315
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: He's definitely physical enough. You know, he catches that interception.

316
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: I can't remember which game was that was the Chargers. Yeah,

317
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: the charge Chargers. We went that. Get that games. It's

318
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: a completely different game. So again, don't you sit here

319
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: at seven and ten you're like, my goodness, we were

320
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, you're just a couple of plays away from

321
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: being uh, you know, nine to eight or ten and

322
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: seven right completely around. So that's those little incremental gains

323
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: are necessary, I think with that group, and I think

324
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: that they're gonna want to bring some more bodies into

325
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: that room, no question about it, because we need depth.

326
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: You need depth in that room as well. And we're

327
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: just talking about the three starters.

328
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm just looking at just the evolution

329
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: of Makai Blackman from week one last year until week

330
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: seventeen and or week eighteen, and just thinking about what

331
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: that means for this team. To your point, if Makai

332
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 3: can take that extra step, that next stype in his career,

333
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: I think our entire defense is a better bunch.

334
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: It doesn't take that much, right, a couple of pass

335
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: breakups and we saw him again be exactly that's the thing.

336
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: He's exactly in the right spot, right where he needs

337
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: to be where the ball is thrown with the receiver. Yeah,

338
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: you just have to make the play. So that's a

339
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: huge part of Makai. Get him in away room, get

340
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: him stronger so he can hit and his body can

341
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: take the physicality because they're gonna challenge him. You line

342
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: up and see a calebev is out there, and you

343
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: line up and Makay Blackman's over there. I'm throwing it

344
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: on the whipscair. I'm throwing it over there a little guy.

345
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: All right, It's just you put the big receiver. That's

346
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: just the way the game is. So we'll see you know,

347
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: we we will see again. Buyer Murphy. You just got

348
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 2: to learn that when that clock goes off in your

349
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: head and the ball hasn't been thrown, that quarterback is

350
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: probably still running around, So you better go turn the

351
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: zone into man and just stay on that guy, even

352
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: if the quarterbacks way on the other side of the field,

353
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: because they can stop and throw it all the way back.

354
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: Got the nightmares, I can. I can feel your pain

355
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: right now, and it's it's only Gabe. It's only painful

356
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: because you do everything else to get yourself in a

357
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: position to win the game, and something like that costs

358
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: you situation. That's that's the part of it. That that's painful.

359
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about the painful part of this podcast

360
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: is every time is me right? No, this is this

361
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: is radio.

362
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 2: You need to.

363
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: We don't need a pork chot today, and we don't

364
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 3: need video. That's why we got you today. This is

365
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: all audio, all radio. The painful part of our podcast

366
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: is every time we record each week, there's always some

367
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: kind of news that happens the day afterwards. Last year,

368
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 3: I mean last week, we recorded Thursday, thinking we had

369
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: everything set in place, everything no news the weekend, got

370
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: a couple of slack updates basically saying, hey, guys, have

371
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: a good weekend. We shouldn't expect any updates this week.

372
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: Friday rolls around. The Vikings just so happened to trade

373
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: with the Houston Texans. Yeah, how about that to get

374
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: another first round pick in this upcoming year's draft. So

375
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: the details is, the Minnesota Vikings sent their second rounder

376
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: and their sixth rounder this year, along with the second

377
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 3: rounder next year in twenty twenty five, to the Houston

378
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 3: Texans in exchange for a first rounder, which is a

379
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: twenty third overall pick and a seventh rounder in this

380
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 3: year's draft. So right now, the Vikings still have nine picks.

381
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: They have two first, two fourths, so no second, no third, Yeah,

382
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: two fifths, a sixth and two seventh.

383
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Not having a second or third in a draft

384
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: like this is uh, you know that one. This is

385
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: a it's a deep draft, especially at the quarterback position.

386
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: I think it's very unique, you know, being at the combine.

387
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: You think about nineteen eighty three, right with Dan Marino.

388
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Who else came out that year? It was a guy

389
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: from Buffalo and Elway, let me pull this up, el Way.

390
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: It was I can see his face. I just can't

391
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: remember his name off the top of my head.

392
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: So it was John o Away, Jim Kelly, Jim Kelly,

393
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 3: Tony Easton, Dan Marino, Todd Blacklitch.

394
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not familiar with.

395
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 3: That comment now, Todd Blacklitch could be maybe anyway you

396
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: have Because of the COVID, Because of that that kind

397
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: of a hiccup, it gave some guys extra time to

398
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 3: stick around, like you know, Michael Penix, who, by the way,

399
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 3: I think is only three years younger than Donald you

400
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: know what I mean, He's only like three years younger

401
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: than Donald, which is which is crazy.

402
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: So if there was a year to trade up or

403
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 2: to do something like that to get the guy that

404
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: you want. And that's kind of the other problem or

405
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: the other challenge that you have is of these six guys,

406
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, Drake May, Jay and Daniels, Michael Pennex, JJ McCarthy,

407
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks, which one of those three would you take

408
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 2: in the top five or six wherever? You know, wherever

409
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: that's gonna how that's gonna fall. So that's part. That's

410
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: the part that you have to play out. But if

411
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: there was a time in this franchise's history where I

412
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: feel we can draft that quarterback, it's now, right, it's now.

413
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: We don't we have a we don't have a defensive

414
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: minded head coach. We don't have a defensive more minded

415
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: type of GM. We have a former NFL quarterback who

416
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: is now who was a position coach coordinator, head coach

417
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: now who knows the offense, he knows what he needs

418
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 2: at that position, and you I give I guess. My

419
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 2: thing is is I I have faith the fact that

420
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: he's going to be able to identify the guy that

421
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: he needs and that he wants for this offense to

422
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: execute this offense. So for this franchise. You know, seven

423
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: to ten draft and eleven the ability to get to

424
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: a spot. So you have two things kind of colliding here.

425
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: I mean, you think about, if you don't draft the

426
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: quarterback of the future this draft, how's that going to

427
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 2: look next year? Right, unless, of course you're saying, well,

428
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: we got one hundred and twenty some million under the cap,

429
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: we can just go buy somebody. Well, then you're right

430
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: back where you were with Cousins, right, do you want

431
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: to beat it in? So this is the year I

432
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 2: think in that respect, this is the year for that.

433
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: And you know, if we trade up, we get one

434
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 2: first round draft pick, then we're done till the fourth round.

435
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 2: I mean that could be. That's an interesting day for

436
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: a couple of days. I guess to sit around and

437
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 2: there's a lot of talent out there, and because of

438
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: all these quarterbacks, a lot offensive tackles, you might get

439
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: at eleven, you can get the pick of the litter

440
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: of maybe the defensive prospect I even talking about cornerbacks,

441
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: and so because of COVID, there's a lot of depth

442
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 2: I think a little bit more depth in this draft,

443
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: and so it's not a bad one to have a

444
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: bunch of second round and third round picks. There's gon

445
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: be a lot of good players out there.

446
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: What do you think the drop off is like between

447
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, the three or four top qbs as you know,

448
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: because you can look at Caleb, Drake Jaden and then

449
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: there's Pennix, McCarthy, bo Nix, Like, where's the where's the dropoff?

450
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 2: I haven't watch I have drop off.

451
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't mean negatively. I just think the differences because

452
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: they're all good.

453
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams a from what I've the people I've spoken

454
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: with that I respect, they say, yeah, he's you know,

455
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: he's an Andrew Luck type of a talent, that he's

456
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: that good, so that in that respect he's unique. Right.

457
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: We think a lot of people looking back at what

458
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one and what happened to that draft class

459
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 2: and now it's kind of Lawrence is right last man standard,

460
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 2: And you know, I think even even in that draft class,

461
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 2: you'd have to go back a long way to find

462
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: a draft class where Caleb Williams would not go number one.

463
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: Let's just put it that way, right, Drake may would

464
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: be I think a number one overall without Caleb Williams

465
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: this year and probably for the last couple of years.

466
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: Then it gets then it's kind of like, Okay, Jayden Daniels.

467
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: You know, he had a lot of really good talent

468
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 2: around him, so you have to sit there and think

469
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 2: how much of it was him, how much was it

470
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: the people around him. But I think he's also another

471
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: guy that that that can be just fantastic if he

472
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: gets in the right spot. And then you have JJ McCarthy,

473
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: who you know, when you go when you go to

474
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: the old Belichick bit where you know, you're like, well, talent,

475
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 2: you know, it's talent sets the floor, but it's character

476
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: that sets the ceiling. I think McCarthy's that kind of

477
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: guy where he's an unselfish player as a college as

478
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: a college quarterback, he had he had to be though,

479
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: and you know I had. I had a conversation with

480
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: Robert Smith on the radio last week and we were

481
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: talking about C. C. J. Stroud and Justin Fields, and

482
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: Robert knows those two. He does Fox TV, and you know,

483
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: went to Ohio State, so of course he's got to

484
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: keep track of the Ohio State university quarterbacks because of

485
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: the litany of just unbelievably good Ohio State quarterbacks that

486
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: have come into the NFL. Still waiting on that list. Sorry,

487
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: but he was talking about the difference between Justin Fields

488
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: and c J. Stroud and how c J. Stroud loves

489
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: to watch film, he loves football, he loves to try

490
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: to figure out what defenses are trying to do, and

491
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: Justin Fields is more, Hey, just let me know what

492
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 2: my receivers are doing and what I need to do.

493
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: That's the difference. These guys at this level, they're they're

494
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: they're all uber talented. That's why you you know, when

495
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: Donald comes in and we see Sam Donald, we know

496
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: he's tall enough, fast enough and has young you know

497
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: he has the measurables because he was drafted so highly

498
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: that that he's not a fifth round pick with a

499
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 2: soft arm. He's a he's a top NFL draft choice,

500
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: so he's gonna have all those things. Same thing with CJ. Stroud,

501
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: Same thing with Justin Fields. But I think what we've

502
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: seen is that it's the other There's so much more

503
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: to it, right, there's just the mental sidnace and and

504
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: and it's not just that. If I've learned anything from

505
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 2: watching the series, the quarterback series, right, those guys are

506
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: speaking a completely different language. And I'm almost to the

507
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 2: point where you watch these guys in the work they do,

508
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: you're like, you're you're you're handy, you're handcuffing their athleticism

509
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: and what they can do with with all the verbiage. Right,

510
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 2: the West Coast offense has gone nutty with formation, initial formation,

511
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: shift motion. Then you have the protection, then you have

512
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: the routes, and it's like it's a it's a it's

513
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: a different language that these guys have to learn and

514
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 2: then go operate. It's not an easy it's not an

515
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: easy thing to do. And it has nothing to do

516
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: with how fast you can run or high you can jump. Right,

517
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: you have to have that that that little extra, that

518
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: little factor did Geno saikuah, whatever the heck, whatever you

519
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: want to call it. And you know, apparently Stroud has it.

520
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: Which one of these guys has it? With the lack

521
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: of film on McCarthy, I think he's got that part

522
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: of it. So those four, you know, Michael Pennix has,

523
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: he's the injuries are one thing, and you know he

524
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: has a couple holes in his game. And then bo

525
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: Nix and he's a system guy, but he's accurate and

526
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 2: on time, but doesn't have the arm strength and then

527
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 2: you start getting into But if you draft either one

528
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 2: of those guys at eleven, you're you're thinking, Okay, well

529
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: we got eleven and then we got twenty two later

530
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: on down the rim.

531
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 3: I think it provides flexibility, and that's something that Quasi

532
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 3: said in this interview with you know yeah, and so

533
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what the Vikings decide to do

534
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 3: with that. But you did bring up Netflix and the

535
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: quarterback docuseries that feature Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota, and uh

536
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes last year. Well, Netflix is at it again.

537
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 3: They announced the release of Receiver Right, a new docu

538
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 3: series that looks at an entire NFL season through the

539
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 3: eyes of pass catchers. Our guy, Justin Jefferson was one

540
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 3: of five players that were followed in twenty twenty three.

541
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: So I'm very excited.

542
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: One, I mean, to miss seven games and good a

543
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 3: thousand yards receiving, but like, well, I'm saying wide receivers

544
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: as a group, aren't aren't church mice like Quarterback Right.

545
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 2: So it's like you wonder how far how far do

546
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: they really take this thing? And they take them in

547
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 2: their cars and their Lemos and out on, you know,

548
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: out on a love Yeah, red carpet. Yeah.

549
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: And now are you gonna Are you gonna walk away

550
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: with the same kind of appreciation you have for the

551
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: quarterback position that you have for the receiver position.

552
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean from Netflix. I've been watching Sunderland until I die,

553
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: and I find that kind of compelling in a number

554
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: of different ways. And that's you know, that's that's a

555
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 2: tier was it tier three? It's a third tier league?

556
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 2: But chance you know the Champions League. I think they

557
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: call it in uh in soccer in Northeast London. If

558
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: Netflix can make that interesting, If Netflix can make that interesting,

559
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: you take five or six wide receivers. I'll come on,

560
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: I mean toom on, it's going to be crazy.

583
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: think here's what we got to find out. All right,

584
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: you got to go talk to Jay. You know, the

586
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: while and gets sick every time he does. Right, we

587
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: got to talk to Jay. If you need any pac

588
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: ten or any just obscure football trivia. Jay's the guy.

589
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: He's the man. Also is the anime guy too, isn't he?

590
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. It's bizarre big ja. I don't even

591
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 2: know where else. Oh, you got to find out what camera,

592
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: what specific exact camera Netflix uses, and then whenever you're

593
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: going about out and about and you see that camera,

594
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: you know it's a Netflix camera, and then you just

595
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: follow it around and you get.

596
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,840

598
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: back because they won't wear they won't be wearing anything. Obviously,

599
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: they blend in most of us. You didn't know that

600
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: the quarter but did you know the quarterback thing was

601
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 2: being taped? I did, oh listen to you, but I

602
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: did not know about the receiver one. I will say that.

603
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Man, you got to find out

604
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: what camera they have, and then when you see that camera,

605
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: get in front of it. We'll get you on Netflix.

Speaker 2: Can you be beside me? At least? It's it's funny.

607
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: You talk to people like YouTube and you guys are
