The Vikings beat on the Bears nineteen 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.360 to thirteen. The final score at Soldier Field yesterday Vikings 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.840 improving to two and four. The Bears now one in 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.200 five among the worst teams in the NFL, and the Vikings, 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.080 by the way, they've now beaten the Bears that Soldier 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:05.959 Field four years in a row. So for a long 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.800 time felt impossible to get a win in the Windy City. 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.800 But now the Vikings have done at four consecutive seasons. 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.280 Loving that, loving a victory and later on, you're gonna 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.960 love a chipper or more chipper head. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.679 Coach Kevin O'Connell. He chatted with the media earlier today. 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.920 I'll play back a portion of that next segment, but 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.680 let's rewind to the action now. In the two victories 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.399 for the Vikings this year, in both cases, the theme 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:35.040 was defense making plays splash plays, in particular, You're gonna 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.200 hear a guy get to the house later on this segment, 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.120 but first let's hear DJ want I'm getting to the quarterback. 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:41.960 Justin takes the staff. 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:46.319 He sacked immediately he was sacked and like a shot, 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:50.800 d J Wonham from the backside of Justin Fields brings 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.960 him down and Justin now has been sacked twenty one 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.200 times this season. That's a loss of seven yards. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:58.120 How about that. 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.600 That's the first offensive play the game for the Bears, 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.160 and Justin Fields sent reeling. Later on in the same drive, 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.160 first possession of the game by the Bears. 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.760 Want them Daniel Hunter. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.280 They got him again, backing in fifteen from the Bears 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.160 forty one low snap Fields in trouble again, nowhere to go. 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:20.519 He sacked again, hits a sack attack on Justin Fields 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.120 and dj Wantam was part of it again. So Fields 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.600 has now been sacked twenty. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:26.760 Two times this season. 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.760 Wow, seventy seven times the last twenty games and about 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:32.800 four minutes of play. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.440 So the Vikings force a punt. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.400 Vikings get the ball their first opportunity on offense of 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:37.799 the day. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.440 Now, you Vikings fans, pay attention. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.680 You love the team. You know all of this already. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.320 But the Vikings on their opening possession and turn the 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.280 ball over. In three consecutive games leading into yesterday against 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.520 the Bears, the Vikings had not scored any points on. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.040 Offense in their opening possession of the game. Something. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.920 As we're looking at twenty twenty two, it happened like this. 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.960 Twenty twenty three, it's happening like that. Everything's so different. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.520 The Vikings were one of the best offensive teams in 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.480 the NFL early in games. Hasn't been the case thus 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.040 far in twenty twenty three, but baby steps small victories. 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.360 The Vikings go on a nine play thirty three yard drive. Okay, 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.639 they don't cover a ton of the field. They possessed 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.680 for nearly five minutes, like that part of it. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:18.040 Now. 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.920 They don't get a touchdown, but they don't turn the 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.240 ball over. They actually kick a field goal and Greg 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:23.960 the leg makes it. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.960 Here's Joseph's first fifty yard try or plus up the season. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.160 He was four of ten fifty plus last year. 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.160 Fifty three yard try left hash snap spot, Joseph put 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.080 a ton of leg and it is good. Wow, Greg 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.960 Joseph five to five on field goals this year. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.080 I'm of that, Greg Joseph, perfect and pure from fifty 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.880 three yards and the Vikings have now scored points on 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.960 an opening possession. They navigated an opening possession without punting 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.080 or turning the ball over. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.600 So good times indeed, And this. 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.880 Really set off a chain reaction of field goals. There 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.720 was a lot of punting and a lot of field goals. 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:04.400 Yeah yesterday, specifically early and Kyro Santos even the score 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.160 at three apiece on the ensuing possession for the Bears. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.920 Then it's Greg Joseph again. With the second possession. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.360 Two possessions in a row for this Vikings offense with 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.600 points and no turnovers. But then things get weird at 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.560 Soldier Field, as they normally do. As you're watching in 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.320 the second quarter, and something like this happens. 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.360 Hawkinson in motion to the right, Cousins under center play action. 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.320 He's going to flip it up to that's my bumble, 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.599 Cam on it, yeah, Cam Benner fall on that. 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:29.760 Now TJ. 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:34.640 Edwards is falling on it at the sideline, and Peach 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.599 said that's a fumble because Cousins threw it behind the 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.000 line of scrimmage and Akers went to bobbling it. The 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.359 question is Viking sideline didn't get out of bounds or 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.279 did the Royal in the field is a backful pass? 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.919 Well the recovery by Chicago, I mean, Katy, it's like, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:52.760 what come on? 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.800 I mean that if it sticks, that's our ninth lost 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:58.440 fumble this season. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.760 Would you minus ten to take gift? Could somebody stop 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.320 the DeMarcus Walker. All he's doing is coming underneath. It 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.239 looks like our offense is getting back on the field. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.800 But my goodness, Paul, this is this is ridiculous. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.880 Everybody take a breath, including Pete. Vikings keep the ball 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:13.520 after review. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:13.839 TJ. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.359 Edwards, the Bears linebacker, one of his feet one of 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.760 his toes were touching out of bounds as he attempted 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.080 to recover that ball, so it stays with the Vikings. 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.960 It's a loss of nine yards. Second and nineteen. TJ. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.080 Hawkinson had a chance to move the chains on a 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.400 nice pass over the middle. Can't bring the catch in 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.760 some struggles catching balls recently for TJ. 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.000 Hawkinson. Vikings end up punting and up six three. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.120 Midway through the second quarter, Bears tie it up five 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.200 play forty five yard drive. They kick another field goal 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.479 with Kyro Santos and it's six six. Now Viking's another 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.520 chance to respond. They fumbled it, but didn't give it 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.720 away on that possession that highlight. 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.560 You just heard, Well they gave it away this time. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.279 Husbands back to pass, TJ. 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.960 Edwards Hitding hit him as he tried to throw it. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.239 Hender was picked up by Tremaine Edmonds at. 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:58.960 The thirty five. 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.080 Bill couldn't beat us in Buffalo last year, so he's 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.680 trying to beat us in Chicago this year. And the 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:10.080 Minnesota Vikings are minus ten in the take GiB that's 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.520 worst in the NFL Carcass Broom five picks this year, 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.120 and with two forty eight to go in the first half, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.839 the Bears are deep in Vikings territory. 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.400 In the end, that was actually ruled a fumble. I'm 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.120 not exactly sure why. Maybe the ball hadn't left Kirk's 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.479 hand yet when his arm was hit as he was 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.520 trying to unload that thing. But in the end, it's 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.279 a Vikings turnover and a lot of turnovers for this 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.760 team in twenty twenty three and both teams coming in 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.040 they're one and four. There are reasons why these teams 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.040 are losing these games, right, So you're frustrated that your 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.960 favorite team just had that happen, while the Bears are like, 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.320 we find ways to mess up games too. Here's the 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.960 very next possession for the Bears. Fields on a short 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:50.360 drop shakes, the shoulders hit. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.400 Is he pros HiT's up there? Yeah, Jordan Hicks. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.480 Got it head to fifteen shakes, the Darnell Mooney tackle 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.800 turns it up at the twenty. Hey, wait, took the 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.800 all away from somebody, and it was Jordan Hicks with 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.560 the interception. After we gave the ball away and a 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.040 couple of one in four teams at Soldier Field are 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.600 trying to figure out what to do. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.160 Normally, the Vikings are the ones giving the ball away 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:15.880 in the red zone. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.000 This time it was the Bears. 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.200 Huge play by Jordan Hicks taking points off the board 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.080 for the Bears and allowing the Vikings offense to head 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.040 the other way. This is all still in the first half, 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.640 by the way, and following that turnover by Chicago is 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.400 Vikings ball at their own twenty three a minute forty 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.600 seven remaining in the half. This was the best offensive 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.000 drive of the day by ten miles for the Vikings offense. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.720 Eight plays, seventy seven yards and no Justin Jefferson in 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.160 this game. We know that, So it had to go 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.280 to somebody else, and it was Jordan Addison for six in. 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.880 Shotgun takes the snap, five step, drop, steps. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:56.040 Up, fires to the end zone touch down. Vikings charton 0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:00.800 Addison with his fourth receiving touchdown this season has given 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:05.360 Minnesota a twelve six lead in the shadow of halftime, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:06.960 and that's your score at the break. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.240 The extra point was blocked, so good times, bad times, 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.040 I guess, But a lead at the half for the 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.680 Vikings offense and they get the ball to start the 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.280 third quarter. Vikings go three and out to start the 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.000 third quarter. Third quarters have been problematic for this team 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.120 really for the last season and a half, and it 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.520 was a Punta thon really to start the second half 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.560 in Chicago yesterday. Vikings go three and out, the Bears respond. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.080 They end up punting. Justin Fields. That's kind of one 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.080 of the stories of this game. Hurt his hand when 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.600 he was sacked by Daniel Hunter. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.160 Fields takes a deep drops, great drop, dj wantam looking 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.360 for a second sack and now Fields will throw it 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.720 away as he nearly is sacked outside the number. 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.680 They ruled him down. Well, how they did, they rolled 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.920 them down prior to the past. Whoo. 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:57.280 So that'll be another sack today for Daniel Hunter, which 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.880 means Daniel has two sacks today, eight on the season. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:02.480 That would set up a fourth and long. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.600 The Bears would punt and the Vikings would respond still 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.440 in the third quarter with another three in out. That 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.679 was their first two possessions of the day. Three and 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.240 outs for the Vikings offense. They only had two first 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.920 outs in the entire second half yesterday, the second one 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.400 coming at the very end of the game as Alexander 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.720 Madison moved the chains to seal the game with less 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.200 than two minutes to go. So struggles on offense, but 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.480 justin fields that hand injury. He's out. So Bear's ball 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.920 and enter Tyson Beagent. He's an undrafted rookie out of Shephard. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.800 It's a D two school. There's actually more information online 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.240 about his dad, Travis Pagent, who's some sort of arm 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.720 wrestling world champion. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.400 But Beagent in the game. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.120 His first drive as an NFL quarterback, well, it doesn't 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:46.439 go well. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.160 Play action out of the shotgun. Harrison Phillip's trying to 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.160 give him a first pack. Josh Mattelos forced to fumble 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.160 and pounting about picked. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.080 Up by Jordan Hicks. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:10:06.280 Forty thirty close touchdown. Jrdan Hicks, with the second touchdown 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.559 of his career, has run the Minnesota Vikings to an 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:10.960 eighteen to sixth lead. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:12.959 Huge day for Jordan Hicks. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.040 He takes points off the board for the Bears with 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.960 that red zone interception and then now you hear that 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.600 fumble return for a touchdown. Points that the offense wasn't 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.720 able to provide in some spots. The defense coming through 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.160 largely now nineteen six after the extra point, should the 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.040 team have gone for two there, I'll let you ponder 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.840 that on your own. But this wouldn't be a Vikings 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.080 game in twenty twenty three. This wouldn't be a Vikings 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.360 game at Soldier Field without. 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.079 Some drama as nineteen six. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.599 Now we're entering the fourth quarter, about twelve and a 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.360 half minutes to go in the game. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:45.599 Where beage it. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.960 The undrafted Cap nine plays seventy seven yards and the 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.000 tush push tightly packed die behind him Pole Comet. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.160 It's a toush push and pageant field. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:04.880 The in no signal touchdown Bears Tyson Badgin. 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:10.679 Comett pushed him Badgin with his first National Football League touchdown, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.520 fight football violently in. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.280 The end zone nineteen thirteen Vikings, and you know that 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.720 ends up being the final score. But leaving this game 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:24.600 yesterday live, the Bears very conceivably could get a stop 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.800 on defense. It's midway through the fourth quarter and have 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.600 a chance. With the undrafted rookie QB from a D 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.760 two school and all Tyson bagent, they would have a 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.160 chance to go down score a touchdown, and with the 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.080 six point deficit and extra point takes the lead. So 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.000 that's kind of the sweat that Vikings fans were enduring 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.240 late in this one yesterday. Just need the offense to 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.960 move the chains a few times, kill some clock and 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:47.920 get out of there live. 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:48.120 Well. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.280 Unfortunately, the Vikings offense goes three and out and they 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.400 only took a minute off the clock. So it is 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.040 Tyson Bagent and the Bears offense with a chance to 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.720 drive and take the lead. It was a nine play 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.320 forty one yard they moved the sticks, but in the 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.439 end the rookie freaked out and the Vikings CeAl it. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:10.000 Hi snap from Patrick to Paigent. He throws up an interceptible. 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.880 Ball and Byron Murphy Junior. 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.640 Takes it and he turns it up to the twenty 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.120 thirty and DJ Moore runs him down from behind at 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.800 about the forty three yard line. And this pagent finally 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.600 threw up one of those punts that was intercepted. And 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.760 that's also the two minute warning Byron Murphy Junior with 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.440 his first interception wearing the colors. 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.720 Kid freaks out at the pass rush throws up a 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:34.360 lot of revolve. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.280 Byron Murphy Junior intercepts it. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.000 Vikings offense runs out the clock and the team runs 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.160 their way to the winner circle. Nineteen to thirteen is 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.319 the final score of Vikings two and four on the season. 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.000 Bears fall to one and five. Vikings have now beating 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:49.959 the Bears at Soldier Field four years in a row. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:50.959 I think that's kind of cool. 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.199 Moving on from that, before we get to the break 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.720 the Friday Football Feast, you can join Pa in Charge 0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.440 at the Crystal location Buffalo Wild Wings Crystal this Friday noon. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.560 It's the Friday Football Feast presented by Coors Light.

You heard the highlights last segment recapping the 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:46.080 nineteen to thirteen Vikings victory over the Chicago Bears yesterday 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.600 at Soldier Field. It's becoming a trend Vikings winning at 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.400 Soldier Field like that. And I like the head coach 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.760 Kevin O'Connell chatted with the media earlier today. 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.080 Let's hear a portion of that. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.120 What can you do at this point to get more 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.000 out of the running game. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.480 Yeah, I think it's you know, we we taking a 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.800 look at the tape today. There were some fundamental things 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.680 that you know, maybe we didn't we didn't do as 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.360 as as well as we would have liked, and certain 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:11.960 things that we had kind of put on tape over 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.600 the last two three weeks that that didn't show up 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.240 as consistently on the tape yesterday. And I think once 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.640 again you can credit the Bears and and and kind 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.480 of some of the. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:24.440 Things they were able to do. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.560 It was a team going into the game that had 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.040 forced quite a bit of negatives in the run game 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.280 through some of the things that they do schematically, and 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.240 and they were able to be you know, effective on 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.920 some downs there, especially early on in the you know, 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.280 in the second half there that contributed to us having 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.440 too many three and outs and and some you know, 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:49.000 quite frankly, some less than ideal third down situations either 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.720 backed up long yardage or potentially off of some of 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.520 those you know kind of negatives, either the lateral play 0:15:55.640 --> 0:16:00.880 that you know went backwards, the intentional grounding call where 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.680 Kirk was trying to dish it to CJS ineligible once 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.120 we kind of gave up, you know, an immediate pressure there. 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.120 There was just a lot of scenarios there and a 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.600 very limited amount of plays when you're not able to 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.520 sustain at least you guys know, I've talked about getting 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.880 that first down and kind of triggering the ability to 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.120 move the football there when we were able to do 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.040 that either in that two minute drive or early on 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.680 in the game where we you know, drove and were 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.280 able to get two chances at some field goals for 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.400 Greg which which he was outstanding knocking those two fifty 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:35.960 plus yarders through. But ultimately, it just comes down to guys, 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.360 maybe in some new role or new roles, continuing to 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.840 grow in their execution and the trust and what we're 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.840 asking them to do. And then just some of the 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.960 guys we do rely on being a little bit more consistent. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.400 Kevin, you've talked this season about chasing that complete performance, 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:52.560 that best performance. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.080 What does that look like in your eyes? 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.720 And how close are you guys to attaining that? 0:16:58.600 --> 0:16:59.000 Do you think? 0:16:59.040 --> 0:16:59.160 Well? 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.040 I think it starts with winning the turnover battle, which 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.879 we were able to do yesterday. Defensively making some big plays, 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.879 and offensively doing everything with our power, within our power 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.639 of carrying the football when we possess it, UH to manage, 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.840 you know, not catastrophically giving away the football, which has 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.280 hurt us so so so much, you know, early on 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.320 through these first five games before yesterday, And then it 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.800 comes down to once you're able to be all about 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.680 the ball and protect the football, then it comes down 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.280 to putting, uh, putting it all together. From a standpoint 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.440 of being efficient in the run game, UH, finding ways 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.280 to get explosives in the playpass game. We were able 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:40.760 to hit a couple of plays there. We had another 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.960 chance down the sideline for Jordan where he got behind 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:48.919 the coverage. All with opportunities on early downs that we 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.640 can get in our offense when we can sustain some efficiency. 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.000 Now, with all that being. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.480 Said, we have other tools at our disposal to try 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.640 to be more efficient where maybe it's not the run game. 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.560 It could be the rhythm and timing of the quick 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.960 passing game, or the no huddle or different personnel groupings. 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.639 We've got to go into all of those tools to 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.720 try to best serve ourselves on offense when you are, 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.119 you know, without a player of Justin's caliber, where we 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.400 have quite honestly built a lot of the things. 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.280 That we do around him. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.359 But that is by no stretch going to be allowed 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.880 to be an excuse for us not going out there 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.439 and playing to our potential on offense. And it starts 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.399 with me and our staff and then giving these guys 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.600 the tools that they need to go have success. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.600 But I do think that that complete performance is out 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:38.399 there for us. 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.000 Just how important has Daniel been to what you guys 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.520 are are doing on defense and how important was I 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.600 mean obviously bringing him back to be able to do 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.000 probably what you've seen from him. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:55.640 Yeah, I thought, you know, yesterday Daniil showed up even 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:57.960 much more so than his two sacks. He was really 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:02.760 active on the edge, physical, explosive. Daniel's a huge part 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.600 of our defense, whether we're just rushing for trying to 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.840 get him one on oneses or you know, we are 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.879
