Five consecutive wins, 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.080 five in a row for the Purple. They beat the 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.680 New Orleans Saints yesterday twenty seven to nineteen at us 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.800 Bank Stadium. They are now six and four and firmly 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.160 in the playoff mix. It was the first start for 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.840 Josh Dobbs. We got to see him, unfortunately due to 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.480 the concussion to Jaren Hall, but you got to see 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:14.920 him beat the Atlanta Falcons. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:15.920 Now you got to see what a. 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.479 Full week of preparation would do for Dobbs in this game, 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.800 in this offense, and all he did was have a 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:26.000 career high in passing, no fumbles, no turnovers. Another rushing 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.319 TD had a throwing score as well. A beautiful day 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.560 for that offense. And you'll get to hear from Josh Dobbs. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.080 He was interviewed after yesterday's game by Vikings Entertainment Networks 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.319 Tatum Everett. You also get to hear from dj Wantam, 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.320 who joined PA nine to noon earlier today. Fifth sack 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.160 of the season accumulated yesterday by Wantam. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.200 But first let's rewind to the action. 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.520 Vikings get the ball first yesterday against Derek Carr and 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.320 those Saints, and they start out on what looks like 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.760 a very promising drive eight plays fifty three yards, but 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:57.680 it stalls out. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.520 Greg Joseph for the field goal. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.680 Thirteen of seventeen on field goals, snap spot from forty 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.760 right hash and it is good. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.840 So three nothing early on for the Purple. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.600 Then the teams exchange a couple of punts and it's 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.760 the Saints turn to kick for three. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.640 Forty eight yard try right hash snap spot Roopie the rookie. 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.959 The kick is. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.680 Good three to three early on. And that was kind 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.760 of the game that I thought. This would be a 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.560 lot of settling for field goals, kind of a grinder 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.520 of a game, and the idea that without Kirk, that 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.560 this offense was going to have to win some ugly games. 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:37.680 Both defenses, Saints and Vikings playing exceptionally well, so off 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.720 to a slow start offensively, Boy was I wrong. As 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:46.000 the Vikings on their ensuing possession eleven plays seventy five yards, 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.800 just a handful of minutes into the second. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.359 Quarter, ty Chandler with his first touchdown. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.639 A couple of receivers left two out to the right, 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:57.640 including Nikhil Harry ty Chandler. He takes the direct snap's Prince. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:58.520 Proble Lot. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:02.720 Touch down. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:07.840 Ty Chandler, his first National Football League touchdown, has given 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:12.839 the Minnesota Vikings a nine to three lead, well. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.160 Ten three after the extra point. 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:15.680 And this is kind of where I felt like this 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.720 Vikings team was off to the races. They immediately forced 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.600 a three and out that featured that sack from dj 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.440 Wanham that I mentioned is fifth of the year. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:24.840 Love that Saints are punting. 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.600 And then Vikings offense about nine plays eighty two yards 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.720 like clock work, four and a half or so off 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.600 the clock, just three minutes and change left in the half. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.480 Joshua Dobbs finding his legs yet again. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:37.360 I'll just shot gun. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.920 On third down, Cam Jordan got around the right tackle. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.000 Dobbs look sees nothing now he runs out to the left. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.600 He points to somebody, He turns no cob. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.920 Today town. 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:49.960 In CRONI go. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:56.240 Shosh Dobbs with a rushing touchdown has run Minnesota to 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.840 a sixteen three lead. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.760 So now seventeen to three, and then there's another three 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.240 in out by the Saints and just inside the two 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.360 minute warning chance for more points for the Vikings offense. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.360 How about seven plays seventy six yards just about a 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.440 minute and a half. It took waning seconds of the 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.320 first half. The blowout is. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.840 On Tom Shakes the snap out of the shotguns, three 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.680 drop crows to the end zone and tohing. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:25.880 Hey twenty eight. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:31.719 Yard touchdown to t Jay Hawkinson. Wow, and Dobbs has 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.000 beaten them by land and he just beat them by 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.400 air twenty three three. 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.960 Minnesota twenty four to three at halftime. Dobbs forty yards 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.160 rushing at the half. Team has three hundred yards plus 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.240 of total offense at the brake. So you like that, 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.120 I use the term blowout right, Well, not so fast. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.640 Fights do force another three and out and they kick 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.159 a field goal with the first possession of the third quarter. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.600 So it's twenty seven to three early third. But then 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.320 things start to get weird. Sints ten plays, seventy five yards, 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:06.040 about five minutes in total drive time. Derek Carr leaves 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.080 with an injury. He wouldn't return. Jamis Winston comes in 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.279 mid drive and immediately connects with Chris o'lave. 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.640 Jameis Winston ovating the snap from veteran center Eric McCoy. 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.640 Trailing by three touchdowns in a field goal, He's got 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:20.720 to pass week. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.039 One of the m zone. Fo olave. He caught it. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.800 He came down for a touchdown. Wow, christ olave back 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.599 right to the end zone. Well done, young man. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.960 It was the perfect throw and unfortunately Byron Murphy not 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.080 able to win position in the back of the end zone. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.960 There Olave with the touchdown. 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.880 Then Alvin Kamara plunges in on the two point conversion. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.920 It's twenty seven to eleven and the Vikings offense gotta 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.279 struggling at times, getting stuck for most of the second 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.599 half yesterday. Now we're exchanging punts and the Vikings do 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.040 get the ball near midfield, they get stuck. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.320 However, Greg Joseph misses from. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.960 Fifty four on the first play of the fourth quarter. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.760 He's now three to six on the season from fifty 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.000 plus yard field goal attempts. But that gives a Saints 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.919 a shorter field heading the other way, and it's nine plays, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.159 it's fifty six yards. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.359 It's a few minutes off the clock. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.159 Everything working for Jamis in that offense and he finds 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.000 some dude in the end zone I had never heard 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:13.839 of until yesterday. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.160 Third and eight from the vieteen fifteen, Jamis with a 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.520 straight drump. Now he floats up to the left, eyes 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.520 into the end zone, throws all the way back to 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.920 the right to Harry. It is a jump ball front 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.800 right of the end zone in well one one. The 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.960 back judge set touchdown, the side judge set in Connor. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:30.640 Hey you hitting me? 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.560 Well, Dad, we have It's Perry with his first National 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.880 Football League touchdown. All right, At Perry, a rookie from 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.000 Wake Forest. He's sixty six. They matched him up against 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:46.000 the smaller I believe Makai Blackman and no Byron Murphy 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.719 Junior and Harry went up and came down with it. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.040 It was kind of hard to see exactly what happened, you. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.719 Know why, because everyone was looking at the other side 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.360 of the end zone. Go watch this replay if you 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.800 didn't see yesterday, and you'll be questioning your head, just 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:01.960 like I was in the moment, Like. 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.919 How on earth did Jamis see that guy? 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.840 With the way the play was rolling, He's moving towards 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.040 one side of the boundary and in at Perry again, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.360 I hadn't heard of him until yesterday. Michael Thomas, by 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.120 the way, I believe, leaves the game with the knee injury, 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.200 and maybe that gives more reps to the At Perry types. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.360 But other side of the field, Jamis finds him somehow 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.160 miraculous throw. Not sure anybody else in the league would 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.440 have even attempted it. But then now that touchdown plus 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:36.120 the two point conversion It's twenty seven to nineteen Vikings 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.720 with eleven forty remaining in the game. Another Vikings game, 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.880 another sweat. But of course the Vikings do come out 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.760 on top, you know that. But it wasn't exactly the 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:52.840 most electrifying finish ever, as Vike's punt, Saints punt, Vikings punt. 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.680 Saints pick Winston on third and Karen hens he throws 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.320 lost one of the right time. 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:09.200 Times, the first interception of Lakaid Blackman's career, and with 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.080 threeos picks to go in the game, it's twenty seven 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.760 nineteen tie in Minnesota. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:21.040 Massive play is first career interception, Makai Blackman, the mid 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.960 round draft pick out of USC, the rookie making a play. 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.400 And you heard that in the highlight too. 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.040 Just over three minutes to go, let's move the chains 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.960 and get out of here with a victory. The Vikings 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.079 go three and out, so the Vikings punt. But then, 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.000 this is a career in which Jameis Winston one of 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.400 the greatest arm talents you can find in the NFL. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:41.480 He can make. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.079 Those perfect throws, but he's always gonna give the other 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:44.760 team a shot. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.080 And yesterday, just two plays later, picks. 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.920 Saints trying to win three in a row, Vikings trying 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.080 to win five in a row, and Winston goes back 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.400 to pass, He's gonna throw one center of the field 0:08:54.760 --> 0:09:01.000 intercepted and the Minnesota Vikings get a high. 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.440 Five, turning it over there. The Vikes would go three 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:05.200 and out again. 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.960 Jameis Winston heaves a beautiful hail Mary ball into the 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.920 end zone, but nobody catches it. Game over, Vikings victorious 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.880 twenty seven to nineteen. The final Joshua Dobbs career high 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.280 in passing two hundred and sixty eight yards and the 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.040 one touchdown that you did here to TJ. Hawkinson also 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.240 had the rushing score ty Chandler And unfortunately, there were 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.960 some injuries yesterday, so Jordan Hicks he suffered a shin contusion, 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.079 which sounds super painful. He left the game, would come back, 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.520 but ultimately had to go to the hospital. It sounds 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.120 like Kevin O'Connell spoke to the media earlier today about it. 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.839 He may have suffered from compartment syndrome, so he had 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.440 a minor surgical procedure done to relieve either fluid or 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.319 swelling or something up. He is likely not to play 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.080 at Denver, so Jordan Hicks, our leading tackler in the season, 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.920 that he's having something to watch here in terms of 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:02.120 his health moving forward, Alexander Madison concussed and he had 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.000 eight carries for twenty seven yards on the day. Ty 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.480 Chandler getting all those reps because of the achilles injury 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.480 to cam Akers, he had fifteen carries for forty five yards. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.400 In that direct snap touchdown highlight that you heard. We 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.839 even saw Kenny Wong Will running the ball a couple 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.839 of carries for nine yards from him. Monster day from 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:24.040 TJ Hawkinson gritting through that rib injury. Eleven catches, one 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.880 hundred and thirty four yards and a touchdown may have 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.000 been his greatest play a week ago carrying tacklers for 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.559 big yards against the Falcons. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.280 He had a similar play today, perfect connection. 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.480 From Dobbs right down the middle of the field for 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:37.440 a touchdown as well. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:37.720 TJ. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.040 Hawkinson playing super high end at this moment. So the 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.880 Vikings are six and four. Next up the Denver Broncos, 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.880 but there's still time to analyze that. When we return, 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.960 you're gonna hear Tatum Everett chat with quarterback Josh Dobbs 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.559 in the locker room after the victory from yesterday as 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.959 well as pass Rusher DJ Wantam.

In 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.679 the offense, it's awesome to you know, fill the trust 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.240 with the coaching staff obviously a week and a half 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.199 until my time here. So yeah, you know, they call 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.400 really good plays, they put together really good plans, and 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.800 as the player out there, man, my job is to 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.319 go through progressions or someone open take it, take advantage 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.280 of those looks down the field, but when there's not 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.600 protecting the football, but make plays, keep the chains moving forward. 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.319 And so that's obviously part of my skill set and 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.400 it's been great to be in an offense that lets 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.120 me thrive with that, you know, being able to throw 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.600 the ball but also run and take advantage of looks 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:05.959 when they're given by the defense. 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.480 What's the difference in comfort level? I feel like it's 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.679 a silly question, but the difference in comfort level from 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:11.200 last week to. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.600 This week, Oh, it was not and day. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.360 You know, last week was kind of you know, you're 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.319 looking out there just not guessing, but you know you're 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.440 looking out there praying that you're making the right reads 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.520 and checks and just trying to play fast and not 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.360 play negative football. Then once you get your feet undera 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.680 then go play right. This week really from the jump 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.720 obviously being able to get reps with the offense and 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:35.040 throw to the receivers before you know, game time allows 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:36.880 to have more comfort and freedom just to be able 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.880 to go out there and play effortlessly, you know, go 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:39.320 through your. 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:40.760 Reads, be comfortable in the pocket. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.439 I thought the old line man, they did a tremendous 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.640 shop all day, like giving me time to go through 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.120 my progressions and then when stuff wasn't there, be able to. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.920 Make something shake with my legs. 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.439 So being able to just be around just a wealth 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.880 of playmaker's help. And so yeah, I'm excited to keep 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:55.720 pushing forward with the team. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.440 You saw my next question because with with you in 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.040 the game, they've only had one penalty, which is just incredible. 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.440 You know, no fall starts, no holding, none of that. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.760 What can you say about the effort that they have, 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.040 the togetherness that they play with. 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:08.880 Man, they are awesome. They are a fun group to 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:09.200 play with. 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.240 Just their energy throughout the week and then when you 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:13.960 get to game day just how you know it runs 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.079 through them. You know they're able to you know, own 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.240 the line of scrimmage, do a great job of keeping 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.800 clean pockets. And you know as a quarterback man like 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.680 you are a point guard. And so the goal for 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.520 me is to get the team in the right play, 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.160 you know, quickly have the logistics covers, so then everyone 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.320 can just play football. We're not worried about lining up, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.480 We're not worried about all those all those things, so 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.760 everyone else can just go play football and then I'll 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.000 handle it once the ball snap. So yeah, you know, 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.880 it's great to be around these guys. They've taken me 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.120 under their wing and you know, allowing me to thrive 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:45.960 with some great complimentary football. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.680 What is something that you've done the past week to get. 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.640 To know them better, to get to know this locker 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:52.160 room better. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.360 Yeah, you know, it was cool. 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.080 So I found out on Thursday the old line goes 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.280 out to eat somewhere each week, and so I was 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.200 still hold up at the hotel on Thursday and they 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.840 were eating dinner downstairs. So I got a chance to 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.280 walk over and we watched the Thursday night football game 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.400 just to hang out and you know, talk about informally 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.760 everything that's going on throughout the week, talk about the 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.600 craziness of you know, the dynamic during the game. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.600 And then also you know, get prepared to go. 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.880 I'll have a great Friday practice of preparation and get 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.880 ready for this game right here, so you don't trying 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.800 to get around as many teammates as possible also home, 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.200 trying to you know, get the offense you know, under 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.920 my belt as quickly as possible. And so you know, 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.880 just getting to know them will come with time, man. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.160 And now I'm going to exhaust every single opportunity to 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.160 be able to be around my teammates. 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.520 And you know, how to study. That's not the thing 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.640 You've been in the link before. Has any of your 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.640 habits changed with this, uh, the quickness that you've had 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.480 to learn and then maybe in this situation. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.840 Yeah, I think you know, it's I'm always open to 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.800 ways of you know, changing my habits. I will say, 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.560 you know, I rely on them, and not not much 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.160 has changed, you know, just going through the situations I've 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.120 gone through in the past, they prepared me to be 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.160 able to quickly get an offense under speed under my 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.480 belt and go out and just play good cleaning football. 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.080 So those situations, you know, throughout them all, you know, 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.120 I've always been refining my stubby dutch steady habits, you know, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.040 trying to find ways to create some mental reps. If 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.840 I'm not getting the reps and I am getting the reps, 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.080 I'm getting able to. 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:15.240 Get a lot more reps lately. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.880 We're always finding ways than to talk about you know, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.600 what if, what if situations I could ocur on the field. 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.240 So you know, as like team progress, man, get more 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.560 reps under my belt, it will only get more. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.080 Efficient, only more efficient. And as we progress through these weeks, 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.960 there's a potential of Justin Jefferson returning. I know that's 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.920 a name you probably have heard before a few times. 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.600 You've obviously met him here at the facility. What would 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.120 it be like to be able to get him back 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.160 for you for this offense in the coming weeks? 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:42.120 Man, it will be awesome. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.040 Obviously, watching from afar, He's a heck of a playmaker. 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.680 I was in just short like two weeks last last year, 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.040 but one of the games was against the Vikings, and 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.120 I remember, like just standing on the sideline, I watched 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.320 him like every single rep, just watching his route running, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:55.960 his ability to make plays get open. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.320 So adding that obviously. 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.400 Back in the offense that is clicking pretty well right now, 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:01.160 obviously helps. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.400 He's a tremendous playmaker. 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.840 It's been but I will say, you know, obviously coming 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.040 in you know and knowing who he is right it's 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.320 been awesome just watching the teammate that he is, Like 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.480 the amount of energy he has on the sideline. We're 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.600 making plays shoot in practice this week, as he's been 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.400 able to get back around the team, it's been great 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.639 to see that energy. And so then having that energy 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.840 on the field, I know it will only help us 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:22.920 continue to make strides for it. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.720 As Josh Dobbs would Tatum Everett from yesterday immediately following 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.240 the Vikings victory over the Saints and then this morning 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.680 after getting his fifth sack yesterday, Pa had to chat 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.880 with pass rusher dj Wanam correct me if you're wrong here, 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.439 because I've called all your games that this is the 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.439 best overall season of your career. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.080 What what's clicking so well for you? 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:44.960 Oh? 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.200 Man, you know, just over the years.
