A very very exciting victory 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 3: against the Atlanta Falcons four in a row for the 23 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings. 24 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: Here come the Saints this weekend. 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: Dobbs Now, he's played on some decent teams, but never 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: a high end passing squad with a play calling head coach. 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 3: I just think it's beautiful that there seems to be 28 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: so much untapped with the young man because of circumstance, 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 3: even seven years into the league. Do you see it 30 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: like that? 31 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? 32 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 5: And the best part about Josh is he's got some 33 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 5: great experience, maybe in different offenses, different circumstances. 34 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: As I told him, whatever. 35 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 5: They've been, we're going to use that experience as a positive. 36 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 5: But what I want him to do looking at his 37 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 5: opportunity here is just know that he's going to be 38 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 5: completely supported both schematically and from just a support system 39 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 5: of a coaching staff in a locker room that is 40 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 5: as close knit and highly functional as. 41 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 2: Any in the National Football League. 42 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 5: And I believe he's got a chance to truly know 43 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 5: put some of the best football he's played on tape, 44 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 5: not by doing anything more than what he's capable of. 45 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 5: Very smart, very athletic, throws it at a high level. 46 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be a great fit. He demonstrated 47 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 5: that in some really tough circumstances on Sunday. Now, let's 48 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 5: see can we build upon that effort, you know, as 49 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 5: a unit, and. 50 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: The Saints defense is, let's put it this way, a 51 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: little different than the last one you saw with Cam 52 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: Jordan and Mario Davis and a defensive head coach. 53 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: Fair way to look at it. 54 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, they're they're one of the better defenses, I believe 55 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 5: in the league. You know, you can turn on the 56 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 5: tape and it doesn't take long to see those names 57 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 5: you just mentioned. Lattimore, they've got two really good safeties. 58 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 5: I think Adobe's playing really good at the other corner spot. 59 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 5: They're very very deep, they're physical, they fly around, and 60 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 5: I think Dennis Allen is one of the you know, 61 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 5: really good defensive. 62 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: Minds in the NFL. 63 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 5: He's going to watch a lot of our tape what 64 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 5: we've done, and they're going to be a really tough 65 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 5: outfit to move the ball against. Our execution's got to 66 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 5: be at a premium. We've got to make sure we 67 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 5: don't have negative plays that set our team back and 68 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 5: just consistently try to get all eleven guys doing their 69 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 5: job and see how comfortable we can get Josh throughout 70 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 5: the day. 71 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 2: In still a new system now. 72 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: Now, many quarterbacks back to Dobbs in the Atlanta game, 73 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 3: have eluded on charging defenders, but they don't all get 74 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: away using sheer strength, which I mean he did it 75 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: multiple times. Dobbs has that just naturally, doesn't. 76 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 5: He He does, and he's got I don't think he 77 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 5: gets enough credit for his ability, especially on the scrambles, 78 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 5: to get hidden yardage in the game. 79 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: That really defines a. 80 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 5: Lot of when you look back, and even his performances 81 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 5: early in the year in Arizona. You know at Seattle 82 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 5: they get a penalty to back them up. I think 83 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 5: their first and goal from the twenty something yard line, 84 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 5: he's own reads for a touchdown. There were some plays 85 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 5: against San Fran, extending plays against one of the best 86 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 5: defenses in the league and just moving the change, you know, 87 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 5: matriculating the ball down the field, not by scheme, but 88 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 5: sheer will, talent, understanding of it's man coverage and they 89 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 5: don't have somebody responsible for me. I can go get 90 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 5: this first down right now. He did it multiple times 91 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 5: on Sunday for us, and then when we needed to 92 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: he was able to drop back and make some huge 93 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 5: throws in that two minute drive to go win the 94 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 5: football game. 95 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: Just a little teaching point for yours truly, maybe those 96 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: watching or listening on KFA. And when you have a 97 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 3: quarterback who can be a legitimate running threat, does that 98 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 3: generally mean less man defense like more zone defense? So 99 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: I guess the corners don't turn their back to those. 100 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't want to take their eyes off of 101 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 5: the quarterback. Either that or you're gonna get manned defense 102 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 5: with a player responsible for the quarterback, either a spy 103 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 5: from the linebacker position. You may see a safety dropping 104 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: down with the ability to help on any crossing routes, 105 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 5: but also be responsible if the quarterback does take off. 106 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 5: The interesting thing for us is historically we've seen those 107 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 5: types of defenses be instead of that guy dropping down 108 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 5: out for the quarterback, he's doubling Justin Jefferson or Jordan 109 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 5: Madison or TJ. 110 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: Hockinson. 111 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 5: So I think defenses are going to have to make 112 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 5: a decision if they want to try to continue to 113 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 5: provide outlets and help on coverages for some of the 114 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 5: matchups that we have, especially when Justin does come back, 115 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 5: Josh is gonna have some opportunities to change the game 116 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 5: with his legs and doing so will probably force people 117 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 5: to make the alternative decision of make sure. 118 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: They account for that. 119 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 5: That will mean single coverage for people, and we can 120 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 5: go to work there. 121 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: Now, your defense, Holy cow, Green Bay stripsack at the fifteen, 122 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 3: they go backwards, turnover on downs, Atlanta, the Lorenzo Carter 123 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: recovery down to the one. They go backwards and get 124 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 3: a field goal, and then you eat up that middle 125 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: eight you talk about so frequently and score with Madison. 126 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 3: I mean, that's textbooks strong collective effort, right. 127 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: That's what it's really been. 128 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 5: I mean, whether it's complimentary football, that's great, that's what 129 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 5: we intend to do every Sunday. But it's the responses 130 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 5: to some of this adversity that maybe we didn't get 131 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 5: early on in the season. Maybe a negative play turned 132 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 5: into seven points the other way for the offense or 133 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 5: vice versa. 134 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: We go, you know, defense gives. 135 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 5: Up a long drive and then we go out and 136 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 5: go three and out, or we turned it over there. 137 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 5: Just didn't seem to be that synergy to be able 138 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 5: to play true complimentary football. 139 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: And what complimentary football is it's. 140 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 5: Not always good stacked with good, stacked with good. It's 141 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 5: the ability to overcome some of those negative parts that 142 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 5: happen in our game. Whether you want to coach, you know, 143 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 5: each and every minute of the day and night and 144 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 5: game plan all day, there's still gonna be bad stuff 145 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 5: that happens. Sometimes the teams that win in this league 146 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 5: overcome it and find a way to come out better 147 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 5: on the other side. 148 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 3: Oh we I mean we saw it all training camp, 149 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: just with the untrained eye, and you talked about it 150 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 3: a lot, penetrating Flores defense, which was new to so many. 151 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 3: So then you start playing the games. Is it fair 152 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 3: to say that while everybody was learning the nuance of 153 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 3: such a unique defense, that it's resonated, aiding incredibly well 154 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: with all of them. 155 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I think they have ownership of it. 156 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 5: There's many times in a game where flow gives them 157 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 5: the ability to check in and out of calls based 158 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 5: upon what they feel like the offense is doing. And 159 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 5: it has been you know, huge critical plays for us 160 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 5: getting off the field on third down, maybe getting to 161 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 5: the quarterback, forcing the negative player a fumble against Carolina, 162 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 5: you know, an incomplete on a big third down to 163 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 5: get us the ball back. 164 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: All of those things they have ownership. 165 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 5: Now we're applying new principles to the defense each and 166 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 5: every week based upon some of the things we've previously done. 167 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 5: So it's exciting for me to sit back and watch 168 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 5: coach Floon and his staff are doing a tremendous, tremendous job. 169 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 5: And then the ownership of the players, the leadership of 170 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 5: Harrison and Jordan and Harrison Phillips up front, Daniel Hunter, 171 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 5: Byron Murphy, Josh Mattelis cam Bine them. I mean, these 172 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 5: guys are playing great football and they're striving to get 173 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 5: better each and every week, and that's what's showing up 174 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 5: on the grass. 175 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: So I mean offensively, this would be the case too, 176 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 3: once everybody is wrote on exactly the expectations. But defensively, 177 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: given it so much newer than those who were with 178 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 3: your offense last year, does that give Flores the confidence 179 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 3: to take more chances, maybe get more aggressive with certain 180 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: more risky type calls, you know what I mean? 181 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: I think so. 182 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 5: And even when the offense has the perfect play the 183 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 5: John new Smith touchdown the other day, they've got a 184 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 5: screen called we're in an all out pressure. It's a 185 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 5: great play, great design, great execution by those guys. There's 186 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 5: no panic you know, we're going to be right back 187 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 5: up on the field, you know, their next opportunity with 188 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 5: the same mindset that, yeah, they might have got one, 189 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 5: but you know, over the course of four quarters, we're 190 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 5: gonna make our plays. We're going to force enough negatives 191 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 5: to give our football team a chance to win. And 192 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 5: that's what I love about the group right now. 193 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: Now, this might be the best Daniel Hunter has ever 194 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 3: played the run. I mean, at least in my opinion 195 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: from the outside. What's key about that him playing and 196 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: so physically in the run game. 197 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 5: Well, the way you saw it is how I saw it. 198 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 5: I saw Daniel Hunter play the best football game along 199 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage in the run game that I've 200 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 5: seen since we've been here. 201 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 2: Daniel's made a lot of plays, but. 202 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 5: Consistently dominating on the edge, dominating making plays, turning the 203 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 5: ball back inside on wide's own place, taking on two 204 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 5: three blockers, and still winning down in the low red 205 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 5: to force an opportunity for his teammates to make a 206 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 5: tackle and get off the field. Those stops that he made, 207 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 5: or those individual effort plays that he made go right 208 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 5: along with his ten sacks, and really, in my mind, 209 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 5: Daniel has been one of the better defensive players in 210 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 5: the league this year. 211 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: Hockinson, Kevin O'Connell, Lexies and Oh's deep stretch. With this 212 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: part of the show, Hockinson sure is giving you not 213 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 3: only some big plays, but some timely plays. And there's 214 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 3: a toughness factor there too with I mean, he basically 215 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 3: won the game Green Bay, you know, by shaking the 216 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 3: tackle and dragging somebody. Then he went Mark Bavarro on 217 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 3: it at at Atlanta fragging people like ten yards. I mean, 218 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 3: I'm not saying I never thought he was tough, but 219 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 3: I mean we're just seeing things we haven't seen from 220 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: t Give. 221 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're learning. 222 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 5: You know, we clearly valued TJ a Ton getting the 223 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 5: contract done in training camp and wanting him to be 224 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 5: in Minnesota Viking for a long time. But that's the 225 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 5: coolest part is we're still learning some things about the 226 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 5: player and they're all positive. I mean, the statistics, you know, 227 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 5: he's basically matched what he did in ten games once 228 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 5: he arrived last year. He's already matched that in nine 229 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 5: games this. 230 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: Year with a lot of football to play. 231 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 5: But the toughness factor, a guy that is clearly working 232 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 5: through something during the game in a very physical game. 233 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 5: That was you could probably feel it from up top. 234 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 5: That was a physical football game. They were clearly trying 235 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 5: to you know, whether it was some of the plays 236 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 5: that did get flagged some of the ones that didn't. 237 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 5: There was some physical, physical play going on, and you 238 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 5: had to know what you were signing up for, especially 239 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 5: if you were dinged up from a previous play. That 240 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 5: individual Bavaro esque effort was a critical, critical field flipping 241 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 5: play in a game where you know, we thought we 242 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 5: were going to need a couple of those plays to 243 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 5: function and eventually get down in the red zone and 244 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 5: get points. Every time. I can't say enough about TJ. 245 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 5: He's overcome a lot, just continues to be a beacon 246 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 5: for those quarterbacks who's ever in the game for us 247 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 5: finding him over the middle and critical moments or when 248 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 5: he gets the you know, one on one matchups outside the. 249 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: Numbers, he's winning those. 250 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 5: We're gonna keep getting TJ as many touches as we can. 251 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 5: He's having a very underrated year in the run game 252 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 5: as well, paired with Josh Oliver, so complete three down player, 253 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 5: and we're lucky to have him. 254 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 3: You're old enough to remember Mark Bavarro I am was 255 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: it Monday night football against the Niners. I think when 256 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: he played for the Giants, I was young. 257 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 5: My hair was not as gray as it's now, or 258 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 5: clearly as much as yours is. But I would say 259 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 5: that growing up in New Jersey, you knew who Mark 260 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 5: Bavaro was for sure. 261 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: How would you describe joshma Tellis's approach to the game. 262 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 5: I just think he's so consistent in his love of 263 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 5: playing this game, like he has such joy and success 264 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 5: through the simplicity of just doing his job, but then 265 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 5: thriving within that. And that's what really defines players in 266 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 5: our defense, guys that do their jobs because their job 267 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 5: affects the other ten guys. But let's not make any 268 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 5: mistake about it. There's plays that come across you know, 269 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 5: a player, you know those five to ten snaps in 270 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 5: a game where it's you and you've got to make 271 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 5: that interception against Green Bay. You've got to tackle that 272 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 5: running back on a cutback for a TfL. You've got 273 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 5: to get that ball when it goes into the pile 274 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 5: when a Caleb Evans knocks it out. 275 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: Josh Mattel's makes all of those plays. 276 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 5: I just feel like we're so so blessed and fortunate 277 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 5: to have a guy like that. Every single time I 278 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 5: addressed the team, I know I can look at Josh 279 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 5: Mattelis and he's going to be as engaged as ever, 280 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 5: knowing that he has a C on his chest and 281 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 5: what's most important to him is what's most important to me, 282 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 5: and he's going to deliver that message hmmer at home 283 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 5: by his words, but more importantly by how he plays 284 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 5: the game. 285 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 3: Last one, here comes old Taysom Hill. Oh goodie, he's 286 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 3: not a human. 287 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 2: He's like he's like. 288 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: A trick in a bou Ray game, just all over 289 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: the place, and he's coming off a really good game. 290 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: He threw a touchdown, he caught a touchdown. 291 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 2: Let him and. 292 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 3: Carries with eleven Ron's Taysom Hill. He like, how do 293 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: you handle Taysom? 294 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta have a plan for him in the 295 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 5: run game because they're buying back, you know, an extra 296 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 5: hat in the. 297 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: Run game, they can block everybody they want. 298 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 5: And then he's as good as anybody in this league 299 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 5: physically running with the ball in his hands. You got 300 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 5: to have multiple guys at that tackle point to try 301 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 5: to get him on the ground. And then he is 302 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 5: a former quarterback. He can make throws. He's proven that 303 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 5: in this league, and they're not just wide open. He'll 304 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,239 Speaker 5: throw the ball and you know, throw away from defenders, 305 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 5: he'll see coverage, and so you really have to kind 306 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 5: of it's not your traditional Hey, this is just wildcat 307 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 5: or we can lock into these plays when when he's 308 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 5: in the game, they can do anything. They can throw screens, 309 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 5: they can run keepers, play passes, you name it, they'll 310 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 5: do it with him in the game. And it's changed 311 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 5: the dynamic of their offense. And it's really been a 312 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 5: long time of the same old movie. Whether it was 313 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 5: Drew Brees at quarterback or Derek Carr, Jamis Winston, it 314 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 5: really doesn't matter because when he goes in the game, 315 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 5: whether he's playing tight end, receiver, he's on special teams, 316 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 5: he's a guy you just have to know. 317 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: Where he is in every phase of the game. Great job, man, 318 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: I appreciate you. 319 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell, head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, and I'm 320 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: Paul Allen much more around the corner on x'es and 321 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: o's on the KFA and Minnesota Vikings Radio Network and 322 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: Vikings dot Com. 323 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back. 324 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: To x's and o's on the KFA and Minnesota Vikings 325 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: radio network.

I mean, seriously, your week 329 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 3: along with your assistant Grant Yudinsky, from getting Jaren ready 330 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: for the game, to Josh Dobbs coming in here and 331 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: just everything that kind of went into the week for you, 332 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: and you're a what was it like? 333 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, crazy process starts early in the week, kind of 334 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: a Monday kind of getting over the loss of Kirk Cousin, 335 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 4: which was heartbreaking for us, and then jumping right into 336 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 4: Jaron and then you know, adding Josh on Tuesday kind 337 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 4: of there, getting him in late Tuesday night, really just 338 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 4: sending him some information so he could study on his 339 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 4: flight out here. And then Wednesday just really kind of 340 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 4: missed some of the early means because he's getting his 341 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 4: physicals and just getting caught up there. And early on 342 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 4: my focus was Jaren, getting him ready to play as 343 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 4: he was going to be the starter in his first 344 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 4: NFL start, which a great opportunity for him, so really 345 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 4: he was Jaron base and kind of just catching Josh 346 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 4: up when we could with little moments throughout Wednesday and 347 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 4: then really knowing that his prep was going to be 348 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 4: at the end of the week Friday Saturday, and we 349 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 4: kind of felt like we had Jared in a good 350 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 4: spot where we would really jump into Josh and get 351 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 4: him ready to go if needed, which ended up being needed. 352 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 3: In the truncated time. Jaren played would you like. 353 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 4: I thought, you know, flashed his athletic ability the keeper 354 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 4: game to get on the edge and made really two 355 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 4: great throws, the first one to his left where he 356 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 4: came out on a dirty edge as we would call 357 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 4: it and had to change his arm on to get 358 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 4: the ball to Johnny Munt and then obviously one down 359 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 4: to kJ as well, and then in the low red 360 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 4: zone where he was able to get that ball completed 361 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 4: the big plast. Alex Madison's kind of a you know, 362 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 4: one out of ten, the ball goes there on that 363 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 4: play design, and he was able to kind of see 364 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 4: the look that would force us to go there, and 365 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 4: in rhythm and ins dride hit alice, which was really 366 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 4: again right, not something that's like designed as that play, 367 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 4: and he was able to react to that, which was awesome. 368 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: I thought he handled the week of preparation great. Being 369 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 4: an NFL starter is tough. Thursday in the NFL is 370 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 4: a tough practice, and handle that and Friday great and 371 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 4: showed some ability went out there and always some things 372 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 4: when he goes out there again the next time whenever 373 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 4: that is that he'll learn from in that limited time. 374 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 3: Chris I mentioned the name Grant Yudinsky, and I've brought 375 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 3: it up several times on my KFA and nine to 376 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 3: New radio show up to the Jaren game because every Friday, 377 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 3: and I'm sure it's more during the week it's Kevin 378 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 3: O'Connell's doing his press conference. I'm waiting to take a 379 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 3: pre game with him, and Grant and Jaren are in 380 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 3: the fieldhouse just doing so much stuff with or without 381 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: a football. And that was before, that was while Kirk 382 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: was healthy. So you know, we talked about your week, 383 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 3: but like your assistant, Grant Yudinsky, how important was he 384 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: to you and the entire process last week? 385 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 4: Grant was vitally important last week, as he is every week. 386 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 4: He does a great job for us and his rule 387 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 4: and his rule is so many things. But yeah, that 388 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 4: process really started when Nick Mullens got hurt, because Nick 389 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 4: kind of had his own processes being the two because 390 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 4: he's done it for a long time. And then once 391 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 4: Jaron got elevated to that two rule, kind of, you know, again, 392 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 4: my whole focus is getting Kirk ready to play each week, 393 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: and then kind of Grant shifted to getting the number 394 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 4: two guy ready to go jarin and kind of teaching 395 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 4: him that process that Nick already had where he would 396 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 4: just take him through a walk through every Friday, hit 397 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 4: every play in the plan and kind of allowed us 398 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 4: to eliminate some plays, Hey he's not comfortable with this, 399 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 4: he likes this, and then just clean up any questions. 400 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 4: So that process started. Whatever that week was that that 401 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 4: Nick got hurt and Jaron was a two, and then 402 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 4: once Josh came in, it was just like, hey, this 403 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 4: is how we're going to do it Friday year with 404 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 4: Grant post practice and that's your one on one time 405 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 4: to get everything cleaned up. And obviously. 406 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: They did a great job. 407 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,719 Speaker 4: Granted a great job, Josh did a great job preparing 408 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 4: and it became vital for our success. 409 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 3: And you know everybody knows this by now, But if 410 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: they didn't you know, Josh with his rocket scientists background, 411 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 3: I'd like say I ever worked with a rocket scientist before. 412 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: I mean, Cousins is not a rocket scientist, but very 413 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: smart and scholarly with the game and very detail oriented. 414 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 2: You know. 415 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 3: But like when you initially started talking to Dobbs about 416 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 3: plays and everything, is it just like another level of 417 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 3: deciphering information. 418 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, Josh is super smart. I was lucky to spend 419 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 4: almost the whole year with him in Jacksonville, so I 420 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 4: kind of knew Josh and what he was and is 421 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 4: all about. But it's certainly knowledgeable, and I think it's 422 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 4: always hard to come in a new system. He has 423 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 4: experience doing that. I think the thing that helped Josh 424 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 4: the most is that he started the last previous eight 425 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 4: weeks in the NFL games. Because there's only one way 426 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 4: to prepare to play NFL quarterback, and that's the play. 427 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 4: And he had that eight week experience the last few 428 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 4: weeks where it's speed of the game playing in the pocket, 429 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 4: which Sunday he was able to just flip that switch 430 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 4: and carry over. So the experience he had in Arizona 431 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 4: was just playing each week I think really helped him 432 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 4: on Sunday. 433 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know he comes into it with Pittsburgh, 434 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 3: and you know he's with Tennessee and and he plays 435 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 3: those eight with Arizona. But like he was called up 436 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 3: last year when you guys played the Lions and then 437 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 3: you mentioned Jacksonville. So sometimes you forget that when they're 438 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 3: on the practice squad. 439 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: It may not show. 440 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 3: Up, you know, within the statistic equity. But there's a 441 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 3: lot he has seen throughout the course of his run, 442 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 3: which is seven years long. And so now having Dobbs 443 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 3: into the Saints game, having him as the number one quarterback, 444 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 3: like what are what are What's part of the nuance 445 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 3: that you can convey now that he and you know 446 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 3: what's coming. 447 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it'd be night and day. As far 448 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 4: as our conversations that we're having. Last week was so 449 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 4: much of just the basic level formations, how to call play, 450 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 4: get in now the huddle, to avoid delay games and penalties, 451 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 4: where this week will actually be able to talk through concepts, 452 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 4: defensive looks, where your eyes should be, what are you reading? 453 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 4: So it'll be a next level conversation that we're able 454 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 4: to have, which it will be great and able to 455 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 4: coach him off the reps that he had within our 456 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 4: system in the game and learn from those, you know, 457 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 4: because a lot of those moments are his athletic ability 458 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 4: taken over, which he did a great job of, but 459 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 4: certainly some things we could clean up to make the 460 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 4: game easier for him and hopefully play with little more 461 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 4: ease than they did on Sunday. 462 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 3: Last one, How essentil or in what ways was center 463 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 3: Garrett Bradberry during all of this transition? I mean, how 464 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 3: big did he come up? 465 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 4: Garrett was huge even throughout the week with Jaren and 466 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 4: just his kind of presence that he provided Jaron throughout 467 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 4: the week to ease Jaron's mind and then to just 468 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 4: quickly transition into Josh and then just to solve problems 469 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 4: throughout the game. You know, there's some protection things that normally, 470 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 4: you know, we didn't get, or some cadence issues that 471 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 4: just to solve problems throughout the game. And Garrett's common 472 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 4: presence was great as well as the whole old line 473 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 4: kind of the way they just rallied around Josh and 474 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 4: really the whole team. And that's what's beautiful about it 475 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 4: is a complete team win, which is a powerful thing 476 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 4: and one of the craziest games I've ever been a 477 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 4: part of, and to come out of there victorious was 478 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 4: one we'll. 479 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 3: Never forget completely.
