00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: is dealing with several injuries at key positions. Quarterback JJ

Speaker 1: McCarthy will not play on Sunday after suffering an ankle

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: sprain during the Falcons game. Veteran Carson Wentz We'll get

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: the start with Max Brosmer as his backup. The Vikings

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: also signed quarterback Desmond Ritter to the active roster now.

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: The Vikings also placed running back Aaron Jones You're on

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he suffered on Sunday.

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: To help bolster depth, the Vikings signed running back Cam

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Akers to the practice squad returning him to the roster

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: mid season for the third consecutive year. Here's what Viking's

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: head coach Kevin O'Connell had to say about facing adversity

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: this early on in the season.

23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: That we are very much capable of handling the circumstances

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: of adversity. And it also taught me that adversity, as

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: it was in twenty twenty three, and even as it

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: was at times throughout our thirteen or fourteen win season,

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: adversity is an opportunity. It's an opportunity for growth. It's

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: an opportunity for somebody that is here for a reason

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,919
Speaker 3: to step into a role and have a chance to thrive,

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: hopefully because of the plan, the coaching, the players they

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: have around them. It's about really a trust that you're

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: trying to earn from the guy next to you every

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: single snap. Are you doing your job or are you

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: not doing your job? And then it's a commitment to

35
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: understanding that's a very important thing. But yeah, I think

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: you know, listen, we were zero and three that year.

37
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: We eventually lost you know, justin Kirk, we lost other

38
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: aspects of our team and just kept going and ultimately

39
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: what we learned is even when the momentum did come

40
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: on our side, whether it was you know, getting a

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: couple games above five hundred after starting out that or

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: a couple of games ago, you know, whatever it was,

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: even after starting out oh and three and digging yourself

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: a hole. It is possible because we get one game

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: a week. We get seventeen of these opportunities, and although

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: there is a Monday through Saturday in between each and

47
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: every one of them, that are a season in itself.

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: In a lot of ways, it just comes back to

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: are you willing to go to work? Are you willing

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: to trust in what you've built as players in that

51
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: locker room? And then ultimately, you know, are we willing

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: to just lean in even more and put the work

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: in and figure it out? You know, That's what the

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: NFL sees is all about there, you know, it's ultimately,

55
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: I was telling somebody this the other day. It's you know,

56
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: we are in the entertainment business, but every other facet

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 3: of the entertainment business is scripted. We are not. So

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: we have to figure out a way to write our

59
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: own lyrics, write our own scripts, you know, And you

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: do that by controlling the process leading into leading into

61
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: these one game a week kind of opportunities, and then

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: the in between those Monday through Saturdays need to be

63
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: filled with process and obviously maintain the ability to kind of,

64
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: you know, kind of filter out some of the noise

65
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: if you allow it to be a part of your preparation.

66
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: That's the first mistake, and the second mistake is ultimately

67
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: giving anything a minute of your time, a second of

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: your time. That doesn't lead to the confidence to have

69
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: the trust and commitment on game day that's required.

70
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: Starting at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday is

71
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: veteran Carson Wentz, who joy the team just after the

72
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: preseason ended. Wentz actually grew up a Vikings fan and

73
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: becomes the first quarterback to start in at least one

74
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: game for six different teams in six consecutive seasons. He

75
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: has ninety four career starts and spoke about making his

76
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: first appearance as a Viking on Wednesday.

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 4: It's been fun to see JJ and interact with him

78
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 4: and kind of be a part of what they've been

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 4: doing here, you know, this whole offseason, and it's a

80
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: bummer obviously what happened to him. Been there more times

81
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: than I care to admit spent a couple of years

82
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: since I played in a game like this with real consequences,

83
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: So I'm really excited for it. That was the six

84
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 4: teams six years kind of shaped You're ready. This sounds

85
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 4: crazy when he said no, It's definitely given me a

86
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 4: different perspective, you know, going from being a starter being

87
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 4: a starter, just traded cut all the things, than being

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: a backup the last two years behind some you know,

89
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 4: future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Getting to see it done

90
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 4: at a very high level has given me some perspective. Also,

91
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 4: just the perspective of not taking this for granted. The

92
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: leagu's hard two years ago. I was at home until

93
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: mid November. You know, it's it's not something I want

94
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 4: to take lightly or take for granted. So I've definitely

95
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: got a lot of perspective, both from you know, physically

96
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: seeing how it's done, but also just the mental side of,

97
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 4: you know, being appreciative and not wasting any opportunity. But yeah,

98
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 4: it's it's cool just to kind of even being here.

99
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: I would say, you know, I grew up rooting for

100
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 4: this team. You know, it's it's one of those things

101
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: you play long enough and you kind of forget about

102
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 4: those things because it's just it's football. You're bouncing around teams.

103
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: But being here I kind of alluded to when I

104
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 4: first got here, just how cool it is for me

105
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: to know, you know, I used to cheer for the

106
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: guys that I'm walking down the hallway seeing. Used to

107
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 4: come to the Metrodome and I was waving the towel.

108
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 4: I was part of the skull chants all the things,

109
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: and so running out of that tunnel this week will

110
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: probably hit me a little bit different in a really cool,

111
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: kind of surreal way. So I'm excited for that.

112
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: Now.

113
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: Joining us on the Minnesota Bankings podcast is ESPN NFL

114
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: analyst Mike Tant and Mom and Mike, you were going

115
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: to be in the Twin Cities on the call for

116
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: ESPN alongside Steve Levy, and it's really I don't know

117
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: if anyone could have predicted the matchup of quarterbacks that

118
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: we are going to see in this game we are

119
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: now the Viking starting quarterback is Carson Wentz against the

120
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: Bengals starting quarterback Jake Browning as of right now when

121
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: we record this on a lovely Tuesday afternoon. How do

122
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: you knowing this knowledge? Head into your game prep. How

123
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: does that change what you prepare for?

124
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, great to be with you. What a fascinating game

125
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 6: that we're going to have. Really on both sides here. Look,

126
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 6: I think it's an advantage from Minnesota because of the

127
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 6: home field advantage. Let's face it, for both you know,

128
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 6: Jake Brownie and Carson Wentz just getting in and out

129
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 6: of the huddle. I think you're going to see, at

130
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 6: least initially the first couple of weeks, simplified game plans.

131
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 6: And Carson Wentz certainly has been a veteran. Jake brown

132
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 6: has been around as well. But given the great crowd noise,

133
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 6: the job that Brian Flores does on defense, I think

134
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 6: you're gonna see both sides, especially Cincinnati, maybe a.

135
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Little bit more simple when you are thinking about two

136
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: and zero Bengals squad. Jake Browning twenty one thirty two

137
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: to two hundred and forty one yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions.

138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: For me, like the numbers are awesome, but to be

139
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: able to lead that team on the ninety two yard

140
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: go ahead drive in the fourth quarter is showed that

141
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: type of momentum can carry on to the next game.

142
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: What are the Vikings need to be weary of as

143
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: they face this new quarterback with the Bengals offense.

144
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great point. I think more than anything else,

145
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 6: that's the intangibles and the confidence like we could go win.

146
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 6: You know, he brought them back as you mentioned, so

147
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 6: Tea Higgins, Jamar Chase. They're going to go to the

148
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 6: stadium today and feel like, wow, we have a real

149
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 6: chance to win. We don't have our ace, but we

150
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 6: still have somebody that's very, very good.

151
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz heading in there.

152
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: We've seen Kevin O'Connell work with other quarterbacks before. Why

153
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: do you think he's so successful at coaching that position?

154
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: Aside from the fact but obviously he played that his

155
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: whole life.

156
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 6: I think he can just fill a lot of information

157
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 6: into two or three things. And I think that's what

158
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 6: the really good coaches can do, is they can look

159
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 6: at like, hey, don't worry about you know, six or

160
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 6: seven moving parts, like is the protection solid?

161
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: You know?

162
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 6: Is everyone account for? Are you hot? And where you're

163
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 6: going with the ball? And I think he keeps it enjoyable.

164
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 6: And again, I think he's just really has an ability

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 6: to make people believe in themselves, hold them accountable. And

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 6: give them the answers to the test, especially on the.

167
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: Offensive side defensively.

168
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Is there a storyline that you're following about from from

169
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: this Vikings advantage point.

170
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they're going to pressure a lot that's

171
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 6: sort of been you know, Brian Flores's calling card. Loves

172
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 6: to see Dallas Turner keep taking that next step someone

173
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 6: of they invested in their first round picking. But I think,

174
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 6: you know, with Jake Browning, they're going to probably give

175
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 6: him a lot of looks. They'll probably bring pressure a

176
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 6: lot of simulated pressures, which he loved, Brian loves to do.

177
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 6: You know, Show eight Drop four should be, you know,

178
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 6: a really fun chess match, should be a very very

179
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 6: competitive game with incredible storylines. I mean, if we did

180
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 6: this interview, you know, six days ago, we're gonna be

181
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 6: talking about JJ McCarthy and Joe Burrow and now it's

182
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 6: you know, Onz and Browning. But that's what's great about

183
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 6: the NFL, and maybe Carson Wentz becomes you know, this

184
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 6: year's Baker Mayfield and Gino Smith and that's what's so

185
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 6: great about our sport.

186
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: Going back to Brian Flores and the defense, Chase brown

187
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: may not be b Jean Robinson, but he is very

188
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: very talented in his own right and is very effective

189
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: running the ball. It was something that hurt this Vikings team.

190
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: They allowed way too many rushing yards. The players said,

191
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: so afterwards, this is something we can't accept, is the

192
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: amount of rushing yards we allowed him to get.

193
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: How can they contain the Bengals running game.

194
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: Knowing that they're probably going to rely on that with

195
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: this quarterback who is newer to this system as a starter.

196
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 6: I think just you know, really like gap integrity. You know,

197
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 6: there were some plays of Ji and Robinson me and

198
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 6: on cutbacks that there were wide open lanes, and I'm

199
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 6: sure they'll tighten that up. And I think they probably

200
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 6: don't need to be as frenetic this week because again

201
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 6: you're going out up against the backup quarterbacks. So I think,

202
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 6: well for things to be tightened up that are disciplined,

203
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 6: and I don't think you're going to see that those

204
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 6: sort of like wide open you know, cutbacks.

205
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: All right?

206
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, Mike, is there one other

207
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: storyline that you were excited to see play out that's

208
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: non quarterback related? At US Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon?

209
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, ideally was going to be you know,

210
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 6: Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase, these two great LSU powerhouse receivers.

211
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 6: Are you really one in one a depending on the day,

212
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 6: and you know they still are going to impact the game.

213
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 6: It's just gonna be slightly different, but you know, to

214
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 6: see those two guys on the field will be a

215
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 6: lot of fun as well.

216
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike, selfishly, most of the people I think here

217
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: that have followed me at all in this industry as

218
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: far as like with the Vikings Entertainment Network goes knows

219
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: I went to LSU.

220
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: So I am very also.

221
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Very excited to see those two guys face off once more.

222
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time, Mike.

223
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,120

241
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm your host Tatum Everett from the Vikings Entertainment Network.

242
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: The Vikings are six and zero all time when hosting

243
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals and looking to get back on track. Sunday

244
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: at noon, the Vikings defense is preparing for the Bengals

245
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: backup Jake Browning to start after Joe Burrow suffered an

246
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: injury that sidelines him for the next three months. Vikings

247
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Brian Flores spoke to the media this week

248
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: about facing an unbeaten Bengals team.

249
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 7: That's so, we obviously have some experience with Jake we

250
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 7: saw him in twenty three obviously did a great job.

251
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 7: They won that game two years ago. Zach does a

252
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 7: great job with quarterbacks and just offensively, so it'll certainly

253
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 7: be a major, major challenge. I mean, look, Joe Burrows,

254
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 7: you know, one of the premier players in our league.

255
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 7: So it does it's different. You know, he's you know,

256
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 7: from an accurate standpoint, from a football acumen standpoint, you know,

257
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 7: Joe's he's right at the top. And I'm not taking

258
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 7: anything away from Jake Browning, you know, he's he doesn't

259
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 7: He went in there and played great, you know last week,

260
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 7: and you know, took him down the field and won

261
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 7: the game. And you know he's a good quarterback too.

262
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 7: And they got really good skill, skill players. So it

263
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 7: still be a challenge. And I don't think it changes

264
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 7: much to answer your question, I think, uh, you know, schematically,

265
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 7: I think they're going to do a lot of the

266
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 7: same things and really try to get the ball to

267
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 7: their best players, and I think, you know, Zach does

268
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 7: a great job of getting it too, both t Higgins

269
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 7: and Chasing brown the back. You know, they got a

270
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 7: lot of good, good players. Mike g you know, who's

271
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 7: a great friend of mine. Yeah, they got They got

272
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 7: a lot of good skill players, so it would be

273
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 7: a certainly be a challenge for us.

274
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: Our next guest here on m VP is Cincinnati Inquirers

275
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Bengals beat writer Kelsey Conway. I spoke to her early

276
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: on Wednesday afternoon about this battle of the backup quarterbacks

277
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: and how this Bengals tea misfeeling after Burrow's injury. The

278
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings are preparing two hosts, the two and oh

279
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals and beat writer for the Cincinnati inquir Kelsey

280
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Conway is my guest right now.

281
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm Kelsey. I don't know if you know.

282
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago we would have thought this would

283
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: be the battle of the backup quarterbacks. But here we are,

284
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: Jake Browning and Carson Wentz, a storyline that so many people.

285
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: Are following right now.

286
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: What is the vibe around the Cincinnati Bengals knowing that

287
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is now out for about three months.

288
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: So I would say it's shifted in the last three days.

289
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 5: So after the game, when everyone in the locker room knew,

290
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 5: we didn't know the exact results of what was going

291
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 5: on with Joe, but everybody knew the severity of it,

292
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 5: and you talk to players and like I talked to

293
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: a couple of the offensive linemen and they were crushed.

294
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 8: And so even though they won and they're two and oh.

295
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: For the first time in Zach Tiller's ten year as

296
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 5: head coach, they're you know, happy they won, but it

297
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 5: was like this black cloud is hanging over them, and

298
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 5: that very much felt it on Monday as well, that's

299
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 5: when they got confirmation that Joe's injury was indeed, you know,

300
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: as bad as I thought it was, and it still

301
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 5: felt like Zach Taylor had to say in his press conference,

302
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 5: He's like, we are two and o, right, you know,

303
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 5: like you could tell he was really trying to just

304
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 5: remind the team, the fans through the media or two

305
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 5: and oh, even though this horrible thing happened to our

306
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 5: franchise quarterback, like, let's not forget about where we are

307
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 5: in the opportunity we have.

308
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 8: So today it very much feels different.

309
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: Where Jake Browning is going to talk later today, Zach

310
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 5: Taylor talked about, you know how last night he had

311
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 5: multiple conversations with Jake and that really kicked off their

312
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 5: game planning so the vibe is lighter today, and I

313
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 5: think what has made this easier to deal with. I mean,

314
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 5: it's not an easy thing to lose a quarterback who

315
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 5: his net.

316
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 8: We're going on three.

317
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 5: Years out of six for him that have resulted in

318
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 5: these major surgeries.

319
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 8: But because Jake Browning went four and three in that

320
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 8: season when Joe hurt his wrist, a lot of those

321
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 8: same players are still here. So I think it's allowed

322
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 8: the franchise to feel better and not oh my gosh,

323
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 8: what are we going to do type of feeling.

324
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: For Vikings fans.

325
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: How does this Bengals offense change when Jake Browning is

326
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: in charge?

327
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 5: So we asked Zach Taylor that and he's been very

328
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 5: adamant in saying that we're going to keep the offense

329
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: a lot of the principles the same, and that's important

330
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 5: to him. But when we did see Jake Browning play

331
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 5: and against Jacksonville and two years ago, he gets the

332
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 5: ball out faster with than typically than Joe does. Joe's

333
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 5: a little bit holds onto the ball a little bit longer,

334
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 5: makes a little bit more scramble plays. They're going to

335
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 5: try and run the ball more. They are not happy

336
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 5: with where their run game is right now. But I

337
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 5: think majority of the core principles of the Bengals offense

338
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 5: that you see with Burrow are going to be the

339
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 5: same because at the end of the day, it doesn't

340
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 5: matter who's that quarterback. They have Jamar Chase and t

341
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 5: Higgins outside, so it's always going to be a pass

342
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 5: first offense.

343
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned the guy for my next question. Jamar Chase,

344
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league up against another

345
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league's and Justin Jefferson

346
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: obviously former LSU teammates. That reunion seems to be a

347
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: hot storyline, and it felt like Jamar Chase and Jake

348
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: Browning really had a good connection.

349
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 8: Obviously after Joe left the game.

350
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: What changed for Jamar from Week one to Week two

351
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: after struggling obviously in Week one, First.

352
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 5: I think at the Browns defense they have every time

353
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 5: the Bengals play him, a really solid plan for the

354
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 5: Bengals because they have Denzel Ward who is very capable

355
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 5: of locking up Jamar Chase.

356
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 8: So I think there's a little bit of that.

357
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 5: The Jacksonville Jaguars didn't have as good a corner to

358
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 5: go up against him, but Jamar is like a tempo

359
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 5: type receiver. When they get him involved early, you know,

360
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 5: it's usually going to be a ten plus catch day

361
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 5: for Jamar, and it ended up being fourteen catches on

362
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 5: fifteen targets against Jacksonville. So I think that they're going

363
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 5: to rely on getting the ball out of Jake's hands

364
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 5: fast in different ways to Jamar, maybe like screens and

365
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 5: shorter plays, because when Jamar has the ball in his hands,

366
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 5: he can take a ten yard catch and turn it

367
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 5: into a touchdown. So I'm thinking that maybe they're going

368
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 5: to try and feature Jamar a little bit more in

369
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 5: that way and be able to get him the ball

370
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 5: in space.

371
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I mean,

372
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: these it's up against Brian Flor's defense, who loves to blitz,

373
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: who loves to get pressure on the quarterback, and that's

374
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: something that they're obviously going to be doing this Sunday.

375
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about the other

376
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 1: side of things. The Vikings offense now with a new

377
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: quarterback in Carson Wentz. JJ McCarthy out for the first

378
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: for the next few weeks with that sprained ankle injury.

379
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is a quarterback that people have plenty of

380
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: tape on starting in ninety four games in his career

381
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: his NFL career, however, never for the Vikings. So how

382
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: do the players sound, or this Bengals team sound about

383
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: preparing for the Vikings offense knowing they have a different

384
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: signal caller.

385
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 8: So we haven't had a chance to talk to the

386
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 8: playoff players. We'll get to talk to them today after practice.

387
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 5: But we did get a chance to talk to the

388
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, Al Golden today and he said that he

389
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: has gone back and watched all of Carson Wentz snapped

390
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 5: at the various different teams and he's been at So

391
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 5: although they are planning for the Kevin O'Connell's scheme, the

392
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 5: McVeigh scheme where a lot of under center, a lot

393
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 5: of run game, they are preparing for Carson Wentz and

394
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 5: going all the way back into where he started. And

395
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 5: so I think for the Bengals, they I don't anticipate

396
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 5: like these big sweeping changes defensively between what they would

397
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 5: do with JJ McCarthy and Carson Wentz. But I do

398
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 5: think they have respect for the fact that Carson Wentz

399
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 5: won a lot of games and has a lot of experience,

400
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: and right now they're preparing for a quarterback who knows

401
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 5: what they're doing in the NFL, and there's been no

402
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 5: talk of the difference between JJ and Carson Wentz being

403
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 5: a drop off. They're preparing for Carson Wentz knowing like

404
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 5: he can win them games.

405
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: What is the defensive front on the Bengals like right now?

406
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: I believe there is an injury most recently reported with

407
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: I think Schamar Stewart if I'm correct.

408
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: What is that looking like right now heading into this game?

409
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 5: So I saw Schamar Stewart in the open locker room

410
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 5: on Monday and he told me he was going to

411
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 5: miss at least the next two weeks with a low

412
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 5: ankle sprain. So the Bengals don't have him, which is

413
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 5: a bummer because when you have a rookie who's really

414
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 5: starting to feel comfortable, injuries like this can sometimes slow

415
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 5: them up and really deter the trajectory of their rookie career.

416
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 8: So not having him is a big loss for them.

417
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 5: Upfront, it has been a whole lot of Trent Hendrickson

418
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 5: and not a lot of anybody else, which isn't really

419
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 5: a surprise. But I think that they had hoped that

420
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 5: some of those guys like Chris Jenkins, defensive tackle Miles Murphy,

421
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 5: their former first round pick from three years ago. I

422
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: think they thought that some of those guys would start

423
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 5: to show well, and they're really going to get their

424
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 5: full opportunity to do so with schmar not being there

425
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 5: because Miles Murphy will get the snaps in place of him.

426
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 5: So I would say the Bengals defensive line is very

427
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 5: much still a work in progress. They've been better against

428
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 5: the run this year than they were last year, but

429
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 5: they're still struggling to get enough pressure on quarterbacks. So

430
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 5: if I would say, like, what's the biggest area of

431
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 5: weakness for the Bengals defense right now, it's the pass rush.

432
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: Minnesota's been in favorable against the Bengals at home. They're

433
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: six and zero against Cincinnati. They're going to hope to

434
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: make it seven and zero this weekend when that game

435
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: is on CBS. Kickoff set for noon. Thank you so much,

00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,639
