1
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Alright, here we are with the Vikings postgame report. I'm

2
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Paul Allen. You're play by play voice on FM one

3
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: hundred point three KFAM and of Fox nine during the

4
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: preseason with the simulcast, and the analyst by my side

5
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: is Pete Bursich Radio and TV. And we just witnessed

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings beat the Las Vegas Raiders twenty four

7
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: to twenty three, banks in part to a lot of stuff,

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: but Alabama rookie Will Reikerd walked off on the Las

9
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, the first of what we hope as many

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: walk off winners for Reikerd. He was able to do

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: this from thirty seven yards out, and the Vikings won

12
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: their first preseason game in quite some time. They snapped

13
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: a ten game losing streak.

14
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Kevin O'Connell mentioned that in our press

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: in our press meeting, he was saying, you know, it's

16
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: still important to win, and this first time that since

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: that he's won a preseason games since he's been here.

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: So it always it always helps, right, it always, it

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: always It changes the dynamic from hey, we just got

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: to get better. We got to get at back, I

21
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: get back to work, to Hey, nice job, but we've

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: got to do a B and C and it's a

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: lot of momentum. You gotta you got a scrimmage coming

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: up Monday night, then you're on a plane, you practice

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: two days against Cleveland Browns, you have a you know,

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: another preseason game against the Browns. So it gives him

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: a little bit of a reward for all the work

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: that they've done thus far. And I think it's something

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: they can build on.

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: Kanay Wan Wu, fourthyr. Iowa State. Uh, he got the corner,

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: he got the edge, and scored on a forty eight

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. That was the Minnesota Vikings first touchdown in

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: this game. He did so rushing and and I think

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: that there was a tell with kanae wan Wo we

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: saw on that play that ties into kick return because

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what Matt Daniels was setting up

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: last week at training camp, but there were some doubles

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: and some traps and just you you played special teams

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: for a decade, but they went to their A level

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: kick returns and when wan Wu gets the sideline where

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: he likes to be, like he did on this running

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: play today in the Vikings victory over the Raiders. When

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: he gets the sideline, good luck, he's gone.

44
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can get the angle on anyone and if

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: you're a safety, he could take a lot of guys

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: by surprise at that speed. And yeah, again we talked

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 2: about the running game Aaron Jones. Obviously it will be

48
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: the starter going into the season, but we're gonna need

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: a lot out of ty Chandler, who I thought did

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: a nice job on the ground, dropped a couple of passes,

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: so he's gonna have to work on the receiving game

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: a little bit. But you know kne Wan who showing

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: what they saw in him from Iowa.

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: State years ago.

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: Just the speed you get that young man in the

56
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: open field, he is so so dangerous. And again going

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: back to you and talking about the kickoff return that

58
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: mimics really a run game in space, and I think

59
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: nay Wan was built for that. But it'd be nice

60
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: to get him back involved in this offense, whether it's

61
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 2: on kick return or running back. He has a great

62
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: opportunity this year and hopefully he takes advantage of it.

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: We are going to hear from Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell shortly. Likewise,

64
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: for Sam Darnold, who started the game at quarterback, and

65
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. They will talk from the locker room, but

66
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: from a quarterback standpoint, Donald starts and he goes four

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: of eight fifty nine yards, supplanted in the first quarter

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: by McCarthy, who played into the second half. The Michigan

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: rookie win eleven of seventeen, one eighty eight and two

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: with an interception. The interception came before the two touchdowns,

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: one touchdown in the third quarter to Trent Sherfield Junior.

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: That's a free agent wide receiver they picked up from Buffalo.

73
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: There was a bust to coverage on that. Clearly with

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: the Tristan Jackson touchdown there wasn't. So how do you

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: analyze McCarthy with the pick, but then he gets two

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: TD passes?

77
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: No, I think, you know, you take a look at

78
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: how Donald started. Donald was on time, accurate, kind of

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: what this offense needs, right and again I go back,

80
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: I go back to that throw he made a Jordan

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: Addison on the speed out. That's that's what this offense needs,

82
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 2: you know. For JJ, I think what he learned today

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: was the speed of the game. He got a taste

84
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: of it. Now is it is it mid season speed

85
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: of the game. No, not yet, but just speeding up

86
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: the bootlegs, you know, speeding up his reads. Moved well

87
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: in the pocket, extended some plays. So I think he

88
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: started off a little bit slowly, but he hung in

89
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: there and finished a lot better than he started. And

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: that's that's what's important in this league. And we're a

91
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: vertical offense. We heard JJ talk about it on the sidelines.

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: That's part of our game, that's who we are. So

93
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: for McCarthy, it's good to see him to be able

94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: to throw the ball deep and get that running game

95
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: going a little bit. You work in the play action.

96
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: That's how we got the touchdown of Trent Sherfield. I mean,

97
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: that's how this offense has to be for it to

98
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: be effective.

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: Jail and nail or third year wide receiver from Michigan State.

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: He's had some injury related problems. One touchdown. It took

101
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: place in a blowout loss at the lambeau Field and

102
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: Naylor played with the Darnold offense and with the McCarthy offense. Likewise,

103
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: for right guard at Ingram So O'Connell started the first

104
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: Minnesota moving company. Christian Darisaw Blake Brandell is now the

105
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: left guard, Garrett Bradberry at center, at Ingram at right guard,

106
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: Brian O'Neal a right tackle. Four fifths came out. Ingram

107
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: stayed in with Naylor for McCarthy, and Naylor finished three

108
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: catches sixty three yards. I thought he had some good pop.

109
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: I thought he did too.

110
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: And we know that there's a competition there who's going

111
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: to be that number three receiver, And in this offense,

112
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: that number three receiver gets a lot of time on

113
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 2: the field. So you have Brandon Powell and you have

114
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: Jalen Naylor, and I think Jalen Naylor obviously has the

115
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: physical attributes you want. But you mentioned him staying healthy.

116
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: I think that's going to be the biggest challenge. It's

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: great to see him out here making plays. We know

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: that's what he can do. But he needs to put

119
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: three or four games together of staying on the field, rehabbing,

120
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: not you know, not getting a nagging injury, not to

121
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: stay away from the hamstrings and all those kinds of things.

122
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: And if you can count on him week in and

123
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: week out, then I think he's a tremendous option as

124
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: a number three receiver.

125
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, addressed the

126
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: media following the game.

127
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 3: Guys, before I open it up to questions, just wanted to,

128
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: you know, quickly acknowledge Kyrie Jackson's family. Really thankful for

129
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: them coming up and spending a couple of days with us.

130
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: I thought it was a very special.

131
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: Moment for our team, not only today with the pregame

132
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: and having his little brother Colt, you know, go out

133
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: and win the coin toss for us, but also just

134
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: spending time with the whole family, and then yesterday just

135
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: a beautiful celebration of life we had privately as a

136
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 3: team with his family, and just want to make sure

137
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: they always know that they're part of our Vikings family

138
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 3: moving forward. So really really special a couple of days

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: welcoming them not only today but yesterday as well, and

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: just really thankful for them doing that, because Kyrie's for

141
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: sure been on all of our hearts and minds as

142
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: we've worked through training camp.

143
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: As far as the game goes.

144
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: Proud of our guys, it's good to get, you know,

145
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: the first one of these in the preseason. Thought it

146
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: might come down to a kick. Told the team last night,

147
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: I thought Will would kick the game winner, and he did.

148
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: Really proud of the way defensively, you know, six drives

149
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: in the second half, holding them to five to three

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: and outs. I think it was getting us the ball

151
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: back in the four minute situation. Offensively, some really good

152
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: execution in the past game ran for six or five

153
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: a carry on the night, thought the guys you it

154
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: really took a lot of the things we're working in

155
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: the on the practice field and brought it out here

156
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: and made it come to life. Still could be a

157
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: lot cleaner. Had a couple pre snaps, self inflicted type

158
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: things that we'll have to correct, you know, on our

159
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: ninety man roster, as we you know, attempt to try

160
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: to gain some momentum here in the preseason. Quarterback wise,

161
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: I thought Sam did a great job starting the game,

162
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: really efficient drive down the field. Tried to give him

163
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: a shot there on fourth down, bang bang play to

164
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: Speedy and then JJ coming in just unbelievable reps for him,

165
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: really learning learning reps here and there a third down

166
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: kind of competitive rep. He tries to make a play

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: and a good player in Jack Jones undercuts the ball

168
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: a little late there, But JJ, how about him battling

169
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: coming right back and especially coming out of half. I

170
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 3: really wanted to see how he could come in, take

171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: some coaching as a group, and then let's go out

172
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: and execute and try to put some points on the

173
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: board and find a way to win a football game.

174
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 4: And Jared leaving the two minute at the end.

175
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 3: And then you know, I thought, Ryan right, and Will

176
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 3: will to kick the game winner. And Ryan, I think

177
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: he averaged you know, fifty seven or so, but no sacks,

178
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 3: six or five a carria. You know, hopefully the quarterbacks

179
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 3: are in there starting their postgame talking about the O

180
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: line because I thought they did a nice job.

181
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 5: Well, how do you evaluate his JD's touchdown passes?

182
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 6: So those easy throws or.

183
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: Did they just make them look eas No. I thought

184
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 4: the go ball was beautiful. It's just a go ball.

185
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: Tristan did a great job closing the space, stepping on

186
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: the corner's toes and slipping by him and JJ five

187
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 3: and one hitchball out trusting him to go to the spot.

188
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: Beautiful throw.

189
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: And then the second throw to our second touchdown to

190
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 3: Trent really off of a hard play action. Started to

191
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: feel them, you know, kind of fit gaps a little

192
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: quicker and thought we could maybe get an easy one

193
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: over the top, but you still got to hit it

194
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: and once again comes off the fake eyes up, one

195
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: hitchball out, So really positive, had a big conversion there

196
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 3: to muse on a third down. So I thought there

197
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: was a lot of positives and a lot of things

198
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: that we'll be able to coach off of.

199
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 4: I really did like the groups we had out on

200
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: the field.

201
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: Liked the way we were able to get off, you know,

202
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 3: get these guys some good work early. I think it

203
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: was twelve plays maybe that first drive, and then we

204
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: kept some guys in there who we wanted to see,

205
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 3: you know, continue to.

206
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 4: Progress with where with where they're at.

207
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: Guys like you know, Tristan Jackson and Naylor had a

208
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: Naylor had a really good night, surefield guys that you know,

209
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: I've been doing things on the practice field. It was

210
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: great to see some of those guys just come out

211
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: and have fun and and and put it on display

212
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: for our Vikings fans to see.

213
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: Come back after the third quarter effort, tickets and coaching.

214
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: Was that the plan the whole time or did you

215
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: come to that over the.

216
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: Course of the game.

217
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a plan.

218
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: He was gonna he was always going to start the

219
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: third quarter, and and uh, you know, I had a

220
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: certain number of reps in mind. I think these uh

221
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: you know, we talk a lot about this development plan.

222
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: A huge part of it is these real game reps

223
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: where there's coaches on the sideline, it's just them and

224
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 3: the defense and the officials out there. And I want

225
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: to you know, see him continue to progress. But clearly

226
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: everybody can see the arm talent. I just loved seeing

227
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: him come right back after you know, the interception and

228
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: still aggressive, still stay true to.

229
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 4: You know, footwork, timing, rhythm, where his eyes should be.

230
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: So there was a lot of positives with JJ's performance

231
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 3: tonight in a lot of areas where we'll be able

232
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: to hit the ground running when these guys are back

233
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: in on Monday.

234
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 7: What he did do out there changing fundamentally for you

235
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 7: about where he's at in his development or where he's

236
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 7: at his progression and those sort of things.

237
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think at this point, Kevin, I'm just looking for,

238
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: you know, continue to improve, for him to improve look

239
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: comfortable in our system. And like I said at the

240
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: very beginning, you know, no ceiling or no floor. But

241
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: at the same time, I think, you know, we want

242
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: to be smart about that development and make sure that

243
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: his training camp is is absolutely going to plan, whether

244
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 3: it's you know, reps with the ones, competitive reps twos

245
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: versus the one defense, and then this these critical preseason snaps,

246
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: and I think next week in Cleveland, the joint practices

247
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: will be huge for him, like it will.

248
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: Be for our whole team.

249
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 3: Really looking forward to going to play a really physical,

250
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: tough team. I think Kevin does an unbelievable job as

251
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: a head coach, and you know, we've put together two

252
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: really good days of work. So although this was a

253
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: game think and I'm very thankful to get my first

254
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: preseason win since I've been here, I do look at

255
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: it as a you know, just another glorified kind of

256
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: singular step in the process.

257
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 8: Lots of talk Kevin about your your list for JJ,

258
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 8: like there's checkpoints more more importantly than like a competition

259
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 8: with Samder's actual checkpoints. How lengthy is that list? And

260
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 8: how much do games affect this? You know, you got practices,

261
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 8: you've got games, joy practices. How much do games play

262
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 8: a role in that list? And to quote you seeing

263
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 8: live action.

264
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, if there's a list out there that exists. That

265
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: would be my first time seeing it. I believe coaching

266
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: is a little bit more holistic, organic, whatever word do

267
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: you want to use, there's I think Josh and Grant

268
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: are doing a great job with that room. I think

269
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: all those guys, and specificly Sam and JJ are ahead

270
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: of where I thought they would be at this point.

271
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: But there is there's a feeling, uh, there's a mindset

272
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: towards a position. There's an overall belief in the development

273
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 3: of the position that I'm way more focused on controlling

274
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 3: what we can control, which is, you know, the how

275
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: we put together practice, how we lay learn, how we

276
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: allow confidence to build and ownership to build. Like I said,

277
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: if you've got that list, man, I'd love to see it. No,

278
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: it's if it's if it's anywhere, Yeah, if it's anywhere,

279
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: it's it's it's somewhere in my mind. But there's a

280
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 3: lot of other crazy stuff in there too.

281
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 4: Kate Murphy heard tonight.

282
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: He was yeah, he uh uh, he was dealing with

283
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: something I really you know, we, like I told you

284
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: guys on Thursday, there was a good a good group

285
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: of guys that we just in in the smallest of things,

286
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 3: we want to make sure that they're healthy because next

287
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: Wednesday and Thursday are huge for for a lot of guys.

288
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: So we just wanted it's been a physical camp in

289
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: the byprop to that sometimes, especially these games where you

290
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: wanted to maybe see a few more guys out there.

291
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: We tried to be smart with those guys, still knowing

292
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: we had if you know, our collection of o Lineman.

293
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: Ready to roll.

294
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 3: We had you know, a good amount of our guys

295
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: on defense. But yeah, as we as we move forward

296
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: into these joint practices, we're expecting to have you know,

297
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 3: Grenard van Ginkle, you know a lot of those guys back.

298
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: And then Aaron Jones as well pretty quickly here to

299
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: go along with Harry Jets and Van Ginkle was really

300
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: he's still kind of on a timeline, but he's in

301
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: a really good spot right now. So really it was

302
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: just Harry and Jets and then there was some reasonings

303
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: behind everybody else for health purposes, but the plan was

304
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: to at least get our starter some work.

305
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: There was a.

306
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 7: Report that Stefan Gilmour is going to come in for

307
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 7: a visit. I think this Monday or whenever. Is that accurate?

308
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 7: First of all, and second, like, where do you kind

309
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 7: of see that whole group?

310
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, you know what I can

311
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: say is I think KWASI and his staff been looking

312
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: for ways as we've really tried to piece together plan,

313
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: you know, having lost you know, two young players that

314
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: we won to injury, and obviously with Kyrie's very very

315
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: unfortunate situation, there's been a you know, a significant hit

316
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: to the depth there. We brought in Fabian, which was great.

317
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: I think he's come in and hit the ground running.

318
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: The versatility of Jay Ward. I know, you guys saw

319
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: him at corner. He's still very much you know, a

320
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: guy that can play really two or three spots with

321
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: his skill set. Bobby McCain flashed me a little bit

322
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: tonight as well. But as far as guys will potentially add,

323
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: I know we're gonna be, you know, constantly trying to

324
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: figure out if there's a player out there that we

325
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: can add to this team that has a chance to

326
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: help us win. And you know, I've had a ton

327
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: of respect in Stefan Gilmore's career playing against him. This

328
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: is guy that's done it at a really high level

329
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: level for a long time. So if that's something that

330
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: ends up being a possibility. I know Quasi and his

331
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: staff will, We'll get us going in the right direction.

332
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: Have you talked about JJ mcbouncin back interception right away?

333
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, how to do in real time, especially in your

334
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: first you know, in your first game. You know, I could,

335
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: he was, he was excited, he was ready to roll.

336
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: I mean, this is an unbelievable home environment.

337
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

338
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: You know a lot of our new guys, you know,

339
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: they were kind of blown away. Hey, this is just

340
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: a preseason game, but this place is unbelievable. So that's

341
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: one of the reasons why you you know, you love

342
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: having this opportunity in front of our fans. It's important

343
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: to me to win at home, whether they you know,

344
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: whether they count or not in the long run, because

345
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: we want to build a team that can win football

346
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: games at home and our fans deserve it. And I

347
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: think JJ was excited about being in this environment, being

348
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: at us Bank Stadium. I wanted the guys to go

349
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: through just the whole game day feel from the hotel,

350
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: you know, getting here for you know, warm ups, going

351
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: through a day and and then go out there and

352
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: have themselves a successful day. And I think, you know,

353
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 3: I did want to let you go. Guys know, the

354
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: only you know, real injury of to report is Jabril

355
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: Cox got a little bit of a groin. We'll see

356
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: how he turns over moving forward. But for playing so

357
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: many guys, you know, that was my number one prior.

358
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: He was hopefully get good work. And I think it

359
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 3: just speaks to where our team's at, you know, and

360
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 3: they're physically you know, our attempt to physically prepare them

361
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 3: for the season. I'm happy with the way training camp went.

362
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 2: What did you see on the interception for JJ and

363
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: what was kind of his explanation thought process there?

364
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, to let's just dive in. It

365
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: was corners over, so he knew it was Manda Man.

366
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 3: They ended up bringing a backer. Canay attempted to you know,

367
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 3: pick up that pressure. It was a pretty violent hit

368
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: right at his feet and if we call that an

369
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: NFL pocket, you know, felt a little bit got to

370
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: go back and watch it, but felt like maybe he

371
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: could have put his foot in the ground and delivered that.

372
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: Bal to Tristan a little faster.

373
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: He kind of chose to then move to his right

374
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: and ball got undercut a little late there, you know,

375
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: as he kind of moved to his right and still

376
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 3: tried to put it on Tristan, but he definitely, you know,

377
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: knew kind of right away kind of where he was

378
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: at with everything and was ready to go right back

379
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: out there. But yeah, I think his recognition and everything.

380
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: It's just that feel of those weighty downs, which is

381
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: you know, it was a very similar I don't know

382
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 3: if it was the same exact call from PG on

383
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: the other side when we did hit Nick Muse in

384
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: the third quarter there across the middle, but felt very similar.

385
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 3: And I think that was a little bit more of

386
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: the ideal rhythm and timing of putting that ball on Nick,

387
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: you know, accurately, and we moved the chains and score

388
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 3: touchdown on the drive. It's nice to see the Dallas

389
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 3: turner speed rush get home a couple of times.

390
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 4: And having for rookies get a sacked today.

391
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, what do we have? We had Richter

392
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 3: had two. I think maybe unless they took one of

393
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: them away. It's a shame to who they give it to.

394
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: I think they called it a quarterback run.

395
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 4: Those don't exist.

396
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Dallas is sacked and then LEVI I mean

397
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: I just felt some of those young guys active, but yeah,

398
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: it helps. I mean Dallas has basically been going against

399
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: Christian Darsol for the better part of three weeks now,

400
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: so I think he was happy to come to us

401
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: Bank Stadium and not see number seventy one standing across

402
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: from him. Yeah, I think, you know, we'll go back

403
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: and look at the tape, but you know, I think

404
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 3: we you know, they drove it on.

405
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 4: It's pretty good in the first half.

406
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: We'll figure out, uh, you know, kind of what worked,

407
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: what worked, and what didn't. Maybe, you know, give guys

408
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: some more ops, make sure we're smart about the Cleveland

409
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: game in the Philly game, because we're going to be,

410
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: you know, trying to be competitive in those games regardless

411
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: of who plays. Just want to keep stacking positive momentum

412
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: for you know, it's a different team this year.

413
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 4: It's a younger team.

414
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 3: It's there's a lot of guys that we're trying to

415
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: fast track development at different positions, and ultimately, I just

416
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: like the enthusiasm.

417
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 4: I like the juice.

418
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: I like guys that that have laser focus on just

419
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: that that daily progress that we talk about.

420
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 4: Just with Jalen Naylor, you've showed a lot of belief

421
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 4: in you throughout the last couple of years. How Yeah,

422
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 4: we kind of come together for him.

423
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: During camp and yeah, those are you guys that everybody

424
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: here has been at training camp seeing him make plays.

425
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: So to see him show up, what did you have

426
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: three for sixty three? You know, three three explosives? You know,

427
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 3: that's what he's capable. Really played X tonight So in

428
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: justin Jefferson's spot in that first group and showed up,

429
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: I mean showed up, ran some really good routes. You know,

430
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: has a great way about him, but he also has

431
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: the versatility to maybe go inside. And we're gonna we're

432
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: gonna continue to feed him and and give him ups

433
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: because we've always been excited about him. It's just been

434
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: an availability thing. And he stacked some really really good

435
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 3: weeks together now, which has always been kind of to

436
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: be expected as long as he can keep putting it together.

437
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: And I'm really proud of where he's at the work

438
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: the offseason, getting ready to go with a real laser

439
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: focus on what he wants to accomplish this year.

440
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: Thanks guys defensively for the vikings THEO Jackson part of

441
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: a very very deep safety group. Kevin O'Connell and Brian

442
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: Flores have He led the team in tackles with seven.

443
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: Brian assom Wah had six. But you pointed this out

444
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: during the course of the simulcasts. It's not that the

445
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: first defense played poorly. It didn't, but Jonathan Grenard and

446
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: Andrew Van Ginkle didn't play likewise for Harrison Smith. But

447
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: when the twos and or the threes got in there

448
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: for Flora's defense, I thought they looked really good.

449
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought so too. I mean, we saw a

450
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: lot of eight man front three deep coverage out of

451
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: our defense early on in this game, and we really

452
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: don't do that. And the Raiders, to their credit, they

453
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: had a lot of down the field type crossing routes

454
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: and that's where the corners in safeties have to get

455
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: rote on who's passing, whom off and what time. And

456
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 2: so I think the Raiders challenged us quite a bit

457
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: in that respect. But the speed of our defense, Paul

458
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: and I was very very impressed with Dallas Turner in

459
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: the way he can get around the edge. And yeah,

460
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: Andres Pete's been around for quite some time, but he

461
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: has experienced and he was able to beat him get

462
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: a hit on the quarterback and then come back and get,

463
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: you know, get a big sack to stop the drive.

464
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: So defensively, guys like Bo Richter kind of jumping out.

465
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: You know, there's some of these names that you see.

466
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: We've heard a lot about Pat Jones and Gabe Murphy

467
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: and everything into camp, but today, I think defensively it

468
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 2: was about Bull Richter. I thought Brian awesome showed up

469
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: quite a bit and he played quite a bit, so

470
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 2: good for him. He's another guy that's got to stay healthy.

471
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: And you know, we're gonna have to figure out this

472
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 2: cornerback carousel as we get further into into this preseason.

473
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold was the starting quarterback in the first preseason game.

474
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson did not suit up. He's never played in

475
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: a preseason game. Why would he. He joined the simulcast

476
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: for the entire third quarter and was unbelievably fun on

477
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: the sideline during the Tristian Jackson and Trent Sherfield junior

478
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: I make that senior touchdowns. Donald chatted with the media

479
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: from the locker room.

480
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 6: One preseason game.

481
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: But our first chance to see you, yeah, uh felt

482
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 5: good out there.

483
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 6: Obviously, you know, we had the helmet, you know, malfunction

484
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 6: and you know, just the communication out there. You know.

485
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 5: With all that being said, it was was awesome to

486
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 5: be able to get out there and you know just compete,

487
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,280

490
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 5: there and play some football again.

491
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 6: It was fun.

492
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: Said, did the helmet get fixed or was the whole

493
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: time you were playing you didn't have that si?

494
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 6: Uh No, we fixed it after that drive.

495

00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: It for the whole drive where.

497
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 6: You were kind of you couldn't hear. Yeah, you know,

498
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,720

499
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh so I kind of had to run

500
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 5: over to KO a couple of times, you know, like

501
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 5: it was nigh cool.

502
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 6: So got my cardio in day, which was good fun.

503
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 4: Sam.

504
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 6: Do you get a taste of what the flavor of

505
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 6: this offense.

506
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 4: Could be on a day like this?

507
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 6: For sure?

508
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 5: You know obviously with the drive that we had, you know,

509
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 5: just I think, you know, trying to sound.

510
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 6: Schedule a little bit better.

511
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 5: We got ourselves in some you know, third and longer

512
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 5: situations that you kind of want to say out of

513
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 5: but you know, we were able to convert those third

514
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 5: downs and go down and you know, obviously we wanted to.

515
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 6: Punch it in there at the end of that drive.

516
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, you know I felt really good out there

517
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 5: and then watching you know, what JJ was able to

518
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 5: do and what Jared were able to do, you know,

519
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 5: it was it was fun to be able to just

520
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 5: listen to you know, Kevin call the plays and uh,

521
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 5: you know roll from there.

522
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 6: And yeah, it was really fun. You what did you

523
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 6: think of Yeah, you know, I thought JJ did a

524
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 6: really good job.

525
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 5: You know, he's kind of done that throughout camp too,

526
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: like whenever he makes a mistake, really like throughout the

527
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 5: quarterback room, if we make a mistake, I feel like

528
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 5: we've been doing a really good job.

529
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 6: Of being able to bounce back throughout camp.

530
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 5: And it was really really cool to to see him

531
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 5: bounce back in the moment during a you know, his

532
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 5: first game at US Bank and you.

533
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 6: Know live you know, preseason game. So that was really

534
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 6: good to be able to see that out of JJ.

535
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: You know, what it's like to be a rookie quarterback.

536
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 1: Is that crucial for him to come out here and

537
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: play like that and confidence wise for the fans all

538
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: the above.

539
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, for for him to just.

540
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 5: You know, just with you know, a lot going on,

541
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 5: you know, system and trying to figure out, you know,

542
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 5: what the defense is doing, and you know, I think

543
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, like I feel like

544
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: he did a really good job of with his progressions,

545
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 5: you know, tying his eyes to his feet and you know,

546
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 5: everything that we talk about throughout you know, when we're

547
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 5: in the KB room and and translating it to on

548
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 5: the field work. You know, I thought he did a

549
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 5: really good job with that. And uh, you know, whenever

550
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 5: you do that, usually you're gonna have a solid day.

551
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 5: And you know, I thought he had a really solid

552
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 5: day to day.

553
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,399

555
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: solid off season.

556
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,120

560
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 5: ton of plays throughout training camp. He's been showing up

561
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 5: and you know, for him to be able to come

562
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 5: out here and continue to make plays for us, you know,

563
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 5: it shows a lot about you know, how hard he's

Speaker 4: There and copive with them.

569
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: So Cleveland is next. Kevin Stefanski, who spent many years

570
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings, starting in two thousand and six

571
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: as Brad Childress's right hand man, became offensive coordinator for

572
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: this team. His last game here was that playoff loss

573
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: at San Francisco to a Niners team that would end

574
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: up going to the Super Bowl and was a Jimmy

575
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: Garoppolo overthrow to Immanuel Sanders from winning that game. Kevin

576
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: became the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. He's a

577
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: two time Associated Press Coach of the Year. We hook

578
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: his Cleveland Browns in the next preseason game, but that'll

579
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: be after a couple of joint practices in Cleveland at

580
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: their facility Wednesday and Thursday. I mean, that just sounds

581
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: like fun.

582
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 4: It does.

583
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: And like I said, you go into this section of

584
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 2: training camp and say, all right, we've got some momentum here.

585
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: We want, you know, one of the first pre season game

586
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 2: we have to build on everything that we've done. So

587
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: this is eight days of great work for this Minnesota

588
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: Vikings team and a lot of decisions are going to

589
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 2: be made. A lot of guys are going to win

590
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 2: starting spots. Today was just the first chapter in the

591
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: in the fourth chapter story that's going to be this week,

592
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 2: and I think we're fired up. I think that the

593
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown's a perfect team for this, for this franchise

594
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: to go up against the physicality of them up front,

595
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 2: our offensive line. You know, those kinds of matchups are

596
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: running game. All those things will come into play over

597
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: the next few days and I'm just happy to be

598
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,720
