1
00:00:54,704 --> 00:01:01,100
Welcome in to the Scene Project Sports Network
tailgate show just like we do every Tuesday.
2
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:04,939
I am your host, Bubba Starch, joined by my
cohost, Big B.
3
00:01:04,939 --> 00:01:05,900
What's happening, B?
4
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:07,180
What a game Sunday.
5
00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:08,140
Hey.
6
00:01:08,140 --> 00:01:09,180
What a game Sunday.
7
00:01:10,034 --> 00:01:11,715
Did the weather play a factor?
8
00:01:11,715 --> 00:01:14,275
Probably, but those are some of the funniest
games to watch.
9
00:01:14,915 --> 00:01:15,155
Yeah.
10
00:01:15,155 --> 00:01:16,594
You know what else played a factor?
11
00:01:16,594 --> 00:01:18,355
Brian Flores' defense.
12
00:01:18,355 --> 00:01:19,155
Showing up.
13
00:01:19,155 --> 00:01:19,395
Yeah.
14
00:01:19,395 --> 00:01:20,194
Exactly.
15
00:01:20,195 --> 00:01:21,635
And we're two and o.
16
00:01:21,954 --> 00:01:22,915
That's right.
17
00:01:22,915 --> 00:01:24,435
Let's get coach in here.
18
00:01:24,435 --> 00:01:25,954
Coach Cody, what's going on, brother?
19
00:01:26,650 --> 00:01:27,290
Two and o.
20
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:28,569
First in the North, baby.
21
00:01:28,569 --> 00:01:29,130
Let's go.
22
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:29,930
Skull.
23
00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:31,450
Big deal.
24
00:01:31,450 --> 00:01:32,650
Big deal for all of us.
25
00:01:32,810 --> 00:01:38,810
Wanna bring in a new cohost on the station and
our special guest tonight, my guy, Selly.
26
00:01:38,810 --> 00:01:39,850
What's going on, Selly?
27
00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:40,730
Welcome to the show, brother.
28
00:01:41,495 --> 00:01:42,055
Hi, guys.
29
00:01:42,055 --> 00:01:42,454
What's up?
30
00:01:42,454 --> 00:01:43,734
Thanks for having me today.
31
00:01:43,814 --> 00:01:45,255
What's up, Awesome.
32
00:01:45,255 --> 00:01:45,734
Yeah.
33
00:01:45,734 --> 00:01:47,094
Quick introductions.
34
00:01:47,174 --> 00:01:52,534
Be our cohost and coach Cody, our lead analyst
here on the station, Selly.
35
00:01:52,534 --> 00:01:59,489
New cohost with our guy, AJ, on the penalty
spot talking all things soccer on Saturdays,
36
00:01:59,489 --> 00:02:04,129
but he's also gonna be the host of our new
basketball show that we'll be launching here
37
00:02:04,209 --> 00:02:04,930
very soon.
38
00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:06,689
But the man loves football too.
39
00:02:06,689 --> 00:02:10,544
So I said we gotta get you in Tuesday night,
introduce you to the crew, man.
40
00:02:10,544 --> 00:02:14,865
So thank you, Selly, for being part of the
Scene Project Sports Network and tapping in
41
00:02:14,865 --> 00:02:16,224
with us tonight on the show.
42
00:02:16,705 --> 00:02:17,585
No problem, man.
43
00:02:17,585 --> 00:02:18,385
I love sports.
44
00:02:18,385 --> 00:02:19,985
Like you said, it's an honor to be here.
45
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:21,520
Yeah.
46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,879
Well and I think off the top, let let's get to
know Sully a little bit.
47
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:29,440
We got plenty of time to talk football, but
give us a little give us a brief kinda
48
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:36,000
backstory on you and, you know, why why you
wanted to join the best team in sports here at
49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,719
SPSN.
50
00:02:37,814 --> 00:02:38,215
Yeah.
51
00:02:38,215 --> 00:02:43,495
So ever since I was a kid, my dad got me into
sport when I was young when I was a young kid,
52
00:02:43,495 --> 00:02:48,854
about eight years old, taught me football,
taught me basketball, got me into all this the
53
00:02:48,854 --> 00:02:53,050
sports here in the Northeast area, And it just
launched from there.
54
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:55,610
Loved watching ESPN as a kid.
55
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:57,930
Loved watching first take, Stephen a.
56
00:02:58,169 --> 00:03:00,490
Thought I was gonna be the next Stephen a as a
kid.
57
00:03:01,049 --> 00:03:04,650
Then I went to college as was sport management
major.
58
00:03:05,474 --> 00:03:09,715
Learned every different thing you could learn
at a college from a sport perspective,
59
00:03:10,594 --> 00:03:14,915
coaching, about learning about stadiums, PR.
60
00:03:15,474 --> 00:03:16,115
Mhmm.
61
00:03:16,995 --> 00:03:21,610
Worked at the US Open for a bit for for the
last four years working in the within player
62
00:03:21,610 --> 00:03:23,370
operations back back there.
63
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:24,169
It was really fun.
64
00:03:24,169 --> 00:03:25,450
It was a fun experience.
65
00:03:26,569 --> 00:03:28,009
Then this opportunity came up.
66
00:03:28,009 --> 00:03:33,129
Bubba hit me up one day, and it gave me a
chance to keep my, sport dream alive.
67
00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:34,569
So I'm just glad to be here.
68
00:03:36,104 --> 00:03:36,504
Yeah.
69
00:03:36,504 --> 00:03:41,064
We we are happy to have you, Selly, and
appreciate you tapping in tonight.
70
00:03:41,305 --> 00:03:46,185
Gave you a little bit of homework beforehand,
had you deep dive the bucks for us as we get
71
00:03:46,185 --> 00:03:47,544
farther into the show.
72
00:03:47,544 --> 00:03:53,039
We're definitely gonna talk more about the game
yet to come, but I'm excited to, get with our
73
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:53,519
guys.
74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,560
We didn't have a chance to really talk
postgame, fellas.
75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,039
So, Cody, I'll start with you.
76
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:03,439
What'd you think about the game on Sunday, the
way this team performed?
77
00:04:03,895 --> 00:04:10,375
Obviously, the offense didn't get a lot going,
but that defense looks like it's gonna be, top
78
00:04:10,534 --> 00:04:12,775
top of the list all season long.
79
00:04:13,414 --> 00:04:16,615
Well, I mean, first and foremost, shout out to
Carson Wentz.
80
00:04:16,819 --> 00:04:19,379
All you had to do was manage the game.
81
00:04:19,379 --> 00:04:21,779
You didn't have to be a superstar.
82
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:26,339
You just had to give us a chance to win, and
that's exactly what he did.
83
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:30,595
That that defense, it came to play.
84
00:04:30,675 --> 00:04:31,154
Alright?
85
00:04:31,394 --> 00:04:35,955
Came up with huge, huge plays, turnovers, and
crucial moments.
86
00:04:36,514 --> 00:04:41,394
You know, all around Will Riker, he's gotta be
offensive m p MVP right now.
87
00:04:42,970 --> 00:04:46,250
He's the only one that can put points on the
board, it seems like, a lot of times.
88
00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:52,970
But, that that's maybe a discussion for, our
our pregame show and the preview show coming up
89
00:04:52,970 --> 00:04:54,009
later this week.
90
00:04:54,009 --> 00:04:59,504
But, I think a key for me is that the defense
this year seems to be coming up with the big
91
00:04:59,504 --> 00:05:01,025
plays and the big moments.
92
00:05:01,105 --> 00:05:03,185
That is something that was lacking last year.
93
00:05:03,185 --> 00:05:08,865
Last year was a lot of bend, don't break, still
had a top 10 scoring defense, but weren't
94
00:05:08,865 --> 00:05:14,449
coming up with the critical turnovers that you
needed to turn the tide of momentum in the
95
00:05:14,449 --> 00:05:15,009
game.
96
00:05:15,009 --> 00:05:16,610
That is not the case this year.
97
00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:21,970
It seems like every time there's a big moment
to be had, this defense is being not just
98
00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:27,274
opportunistic, but but really relishing in that
role as well.
99
00:05:27,274 --> 00:05:34,394
Jalen Redman with the huge punch out, you know,
Byron Murphy junior getting involved early,
100
00:05:34,474 --> 00:05:37,754
getting that turnover on a bad throw by Caleb
Williams.
101
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:40,300
It's just like and Isaiah Rogers, I mean, come
on.
102
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,740
You you gotta give that man a lot of credit,
not only the fumble recovery, huge pass breakup
103
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:47,259
should have been an interception.
104
00:05:47,339 --> 00:05:53,834
I think we're heading towards some rule changes
on on those notes as well, but some great stuff
105
00:05:53,834 --> 00:05:54,154
there.
106
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:56,314
B, how are you feeling on Sunday?
107
00:05:56,875 --> 00:06:00,235
Well, I mean, the defense did what they had to
do.
108
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:09,139
Like coach said, you know, once all you gotta
do is manage the game in a bad weather game, so
109
00:06:09,139 --> 00:06:10,019
that's all he did.
110
00:06:10,019 --> 00:06:15,379
We had great running game by Jones, you know,
great ball protector.
111
00:06:15,379 --> 00:06:22,175
Of course, that defense, you know, lit it up,
and they even gave the bears two extra chances
112
00:06:22,175 --> 00:06:23,214
at the end of the game.
113
00:06:23,214 --> 00:06:26,334
They punch it in, and Dallas Turner said, nope.
114
00:06:26,334 --> 00:06:27,214
Not today.
115
00:06:27,935 --> 00:06:29,854
And, you know, took care of it.
116
00:06:29,854 --> 00:06:37,020
I mean yeah, what what can you say about the
defensive if Rodgers ain't NFL defensive player
117
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:38,139
of the week this week.
118
00:06:38,139 --> 00:06:42,220
I don't know what else he had to do with or or
even Turner.
119
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:47,724
I mean, those guys have just lit up this
defense, and they're playing on a whole new
120
00:06:47,724 --> 00:06:48,764
level this year.
121
00:06:49,324 --> 00:06:54,685
But, b, the grade says that Dallas Turner
doesn't know how to play football.
122
00:06:55,245 --> 00:06:55,724
Yeah.
123
00:06:55,724 --> 00:06:57,884
Well, ask the bears.
124
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:00,540
Yeah.
125
00:07:00,540 --> 00:07:07,660
Ask Caleb Williams and and Tyson Bagent how bad
this man is at the game.
126
00:07:07,819 --> 00:07:13,095
Sallie, did you have a chance to watch the
Vikings game, or were you busy watching the
127
00:07:13,095 --> 00:07:17,574
Jets kinda let one slip away against our hated
rivals, the packers?
128
00:07:18,214 --> 00:07:20,375
I was I've been an eye on both.
129
00:07:20,375 --> 00:07:25,495
Ironically enough, they were both rain games,
so both games offensively weren't great to
130
00:07:25,495 --> 00:07:25,654
watch.
131
00:07:27,210 --> 00:07:27,610
Yeah.
132
00:07:27,610 --> 00:07:29,290
My my just let one slip away.
133
00:07:29,290 --> 00:07:32,009
Some questionable decisions at the end.
134
00:07:33,129 --> 00:07:35,050
Well, shout out to Brian Flores, man.
135
00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:35,930
What a great game.
136
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:41,770
He blitzed Caleb Williams 79% of the time I saw
him, which is unreal.
137
00:07:42,784 --> 00:07:46,464
And then allowing fifty five fifty five points.
138
00:07:46,625 --> 00:07:51,584
The Vikings allowed play.
139
00:07:53,264 --> 00:07:57,980
They gave up only three points, which is the
because the bears had 59 points last week.
140
00:07:57,980 --> 00:08:02,139
I saw it was the second largest deficit from
one week to another.
141
00:08:02,779 --> 00:08:03,500
Yep.
142
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:04,139
Yeah.
143
00:08:04,139 --> 00:08:10,564
And I think we knew here that that that bears
team, even in perfect conditions, were never
144
00:08:10,564 --> 00:08:14,084
gonna drop almost 60 on a Brian Flores defense.
145
00:08:14,084 --> 00:08:15,605
That was never going to happen.
146
00:08:15,925 --> 00:08:19,125
And then you factor in the elements with that
as well.
147
00:08:19,285 --> 00:08:25,524
And the fact that Brian Flores did not back
down on his pressure rate and his willingness
148
00:08:25,699 --> 00:08:28,419
to bring extra guys in that thing.
149
00:08:28,419 --> 00:08:34,419
And I think they did a lot schematically that
kinda gave the bears fits coming with more four
150
00:08:34,419 --> 00:08:40,585
down linemen fronts during the game to really
clog up that interior of the line, not allow
151
00:08:40,585 --> 00:08:45,384
the bears to do what they're very good at,
which is a lot of that inside outside zone
152
00:08:45,384 --> 00:08:52,264
running game mixing it up and usually breaking
those four massive run plays and big explosives
153
00:08:52,264 --> 00:08:53,304
in the run game.
154
00:08:53,304 --> 00:08:59,559
So I think it was a a little bit of, you know,
the pressure, but also the fact that that there
155
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:07,924
was scheme things that Brian Flores is able to
do with the talent on that defensive roster to
156
00:09:07,924 --> 00:09:09,845
really mix things up and to bring in.
157
00:09:09,845 --> 00:09:16,084
And in the middle of that line, two rookies,
Big Citrus and Kayla Banks, showing up on the
158
00:09:16,084 --> 00:09:18,485
stat sheets and showing up making big plays.
159
00:09:18,485 --> 00:09:23,539
I know Banks had a big tackle for loss in
there, and Citrus, I think, is just someone who
160
00:09:23,539 --> 00:09:28,820
can eat up blockers on that line, which is
something this team desperately needed.
161
00:09:31,059 --> 00:09:31,379
No.
162
00:09:31,379 --> 00:09:35,565
Definitely, both of those guys in the middle
because early on in the game, I don't know how
163
00:09:35,565 --> 00:09:39,644
much neither one played early, but it looked
like the bears are gonna eat us up on the
164
00:09:39,644 --> 00:09:40,044
inside.
165
00:09:40,044 --> 00:09:44,125
And I'm just talking to myself while I was at
work, I was like, okay, bikes.
166
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:49,579
You need to put the big guys in the middle or
else we're just gonna not see them change their
167
00:09:49,579 --> 00:09:50,139
game plan.
168
00:09:50,139 --> 00:09:56,139
And they must have did something because that
that middle got clogged up really quick, and I
169
00:09:56,139 --> 00:09:58,220
think it had to do with those two big boys in
the middle.
170
00:09:59,545 --> 00:10:03,065
Well and then it also created mismatches on the
outside.
171
00:10:03,065 --> 00:10:09,384
I mean, how many times did we see Dallas Turner
rushing the quarterback, as a free runner?
172
00:10:09,384 --> 00:10:11,945
Now granted he wasn't able to get to Caleb
Williams.
173
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:16,870
I think if Caleb Williams isn't the player that
he is, he might have been sacked 11 times.
174
00:10:17,029 --> 00:10:17,269
Right?
175
00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:17,509
Yeah.
176
00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:22,149
It it was just insane the amount of pressure
that was going, but there was schematically
177
00:10:22,149 --> 00:10:26,950
something that was going on that you were
getting favorable matchups on your best pass
178
00:10:26,950 --> 00:10:32,865
rusher, our best pass rusher in Dallas Turner,
and no better example than the last play of the
179
00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:38,065
game where you get him matched up on a tight
end coming off that outside, and he just
180
00:10:38,065 --> 00:10:43,769
bullies the tight end right into Tyson Bagent's
lap and then shucks him to the side to grab the
181
00:10:43,769 --> 00:10:47,210
quarterback and toss him down for the game
ending sack.
182
00:10:47,210 --> 00:10:51,049
So I I think we got something special in this
young man.
183
00:10:51,529 --> 00:10:56,934
I think a lot of us forecasted him building on
top of the year that he had last year, playing
184
00:10:56,934 --> 00:11:02,294
in that, you know, more true pass rusher role
that Jonathan Greinhard had played in
185
00:11:02,294 --> 00:11:06,134
previously with this team and now really being
able to show that.
186
00:11:06,134 --> 00:11:11,220
But still dropping back in coverage a couple of
times and had a couple of key plays when he did
187
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:15,059
and didn't look out of place whatsoever in that
position either.
188
00:11:15,059 --> 00:11:20,500
So, yeah, it's hard to not be excited about
what you're seeing from this defense so early
189
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:27,654
on and now giving this team a huge leg up in
the standings, not only sitting atop of the NFC
190
00:11:27,654 --> 00:11:31,495
North at two and o, but two and o in division
play as well.
191
00:11:31,575 --> 00:11:37,495
And, really, I've been putting a lot of fear
into the rest of the league and especially the
192
00:11:37,495 --> 00:11:38,615
NFC North to say, look.
193
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,759
B flow ain't playing this year.
194
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:45,799
And if this offense can just do a little, and
this team can pin its ears back and come after
195
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:51,480
the quarterback, they're gonna be, not only
dangerous, but I think terrifying to a lot of
196
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,600
offensive coordinators.
197
00:11:54,815 --> 00:11:55,134
No.
198
00:11:55,134 --> 00:11:56,654
That that is huge going.
199
00:11:56,654 --> 00:12:01,375
And we talked about before that these first two
games are gonna be huge for the Vikings just
200
00:12:01,375 --> 00:12:03,774
because of the divisional matchups.
201
00:12:03,774 --> 00:12:04,175
You know?
202
00:12:04,175 --> 00:12:09,809
If they went o and two, one zero one, you know,
you kinda put yourself in a hole there, but you
203
00:12:09,809 --> 00:12:15,009
come out two and o, and then you go to Tampa
Bay, and then Miami, and then the safes before
204
00:12:15,009 --> 00:12:15,730
the bye week.
205
00:12:15,730 --> 00:12:17,170
I mean, you're sitting pretty good.
206
00:12:17,170 --> 00:12:21,649
They come out with the lions, you know, a
little bit tougher schedule with the lions.
207
00:12:21,649 --> 00:12:25,894
Well, maybe not tough with the lions, but then
you got the Monday night game with the bills.
208
00:12:26,294 --> 00:12:28,855
So, you know, they're they're looking a little
bit better.
209
00:12:28,855 --> 00:12:33,254
I'm a little bit happier, you know, after
seeing these two games on where the Vikings are
210
00:12:33,254 --> 00:12:34,054
sitting right now.
211
00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:35,670
Yeah.
212
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:40,070
A lot of people glaze in the Lions saying that
they're gonna bounce back and come back.
213
00:12:40,070 --> 00:12:40,389
Look.
214
00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:45,910
I think people are underestimating how
important Ben Johnson was to the success of
215
00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:49,830
that team when they were making those deep
runs, and Dan Campbell doesn't have that.
216
00:12:49,830 --> 00:12:50,149
Right?
217
00:12:50,149 --> 00:12:53,034
So the lions don't scare me at all.
218
00:12:53,115 --> 00:12:57,834
We saw what this team did with Max Brosmer on
Christmas Day last year, and that team did not
219
00:12:57,834 --> 00:13:03,434
improve that much over the off season to to
make me any less afraid of them at that point.
220
00:13:03,434 --> 00:13:03,754
Right?
221
00:13:03,754 --> 00:13:06,154
So lions don't scare me at this point.
222
00:13:06,850 --> 00:13:08,450
Neither do the bears.
223
00:13:08,450 --> 00:13:13,330
I think even though Caleb Williams' injury, not
as severe as it looked like on the field as
224
00:13:13,330 --> 00:13:17,090
he's writhing in pain and crying being carted
off the field.
225
00:13:17,169 --> 00:13:22,465
Lot of talk about that, you know, obviously,
this week across the national media as well,
226
00:13:22,465 --> 00:13:26,384
but I I don't think he's gonna be the same
player.
227
00:13:26,625 --> 00:13:33,049
Even if it's a minor injury to a player that
relies on his legs as much as Caleb does, and
228
00:13:33,049 --> 00:13:35,049
we don't face them until week 18.
229
00:13:35,289 --> 00:13:40,009
The the season might be set and the offseason
set by that point.
230
00:13:40,089 --> 00:13:43,129
He may not even play in that game for one
reason or another.
231
00:13:43,129 --> 00:13:47,804
So the bears at this point had their
opportunities to close the game out.
232
00:13:47,804 --> 00:13:49,164
They couldn't get it done.
233
00:13:49,325 --> 00:13:55,164
The Minnesota Vikings defense, although, the
offense didn't do much either, they did enough.
234
00:13:55,164 --> 00:13:57,964
They did enough to get down into field goal
range.
235
00:13:58,190 --> 00:14:01,870
You let your you let your, you know, all pro
kicker.
236
00:14:01,870 --> 00:14:03,549
I I don't know how he doesn't make the team.
237
00:14:03,549 --> 00:14:08,110
I don't know how he isn't considered the best
kicker in the league at this point with as
238
00:14:08,110 --> 00:14:09,470
consistent as he is.
239
00:14:09,470 --> 00:14:11,389
You know, we had the two missed field goals
last year.
240
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:16,985
One of them hit a damn wire on the thing, and I
think the other one had something similar
241
00:14:16,985 --> 00:14:17,465
happen.
242
00:14:17,465 --> 00:14:17,784
Right?
243
00:14:17,784 --> 00:14:20,264
So, you know, the guy doesn't miss.
244
00:14:20,264 --> 00:14:21,225
He's automatic.
245
00:14:21,225 --> 00:14:26,129
I think he banked it off the upright on purpose
for some extra style points on that.
246
00:14:26,129 --> 00:14:28,689
I think he was trying to create some drama.
247
00:14:28,689 --> 00:14:30,850
That's how good I think this guy is.
248
00:14:31,089 --> 00:14:38,835
And, you know, if the offense can keep this up
and now with Kyler Murray coming back into the
249
00:14:38,835 --> 00:14:40,115
fold on there.
250
00:14:40,115 --> 00:14:40,995
What's up, Henry?
251
00:14:40,995 --> 00:14:42,115
Appreciate you tapping in.
252
00:14:42,115 --> 00:14:45,315
Can this offense now get going?
253
00:14:45,394 --> 00:14:48,995
Weather, not going to be a factor in Tampa Bay
this week.
254
00:14:49,154 --> 00:14:54,319
You're playing against the Tampa Bay team that
has really long balls.
255
00:14:54,319 --> 00:14:55,279
I like that one.
256
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,199
Thanks for tapping in, Skull.
257
00:14:57,199 --> 00:14:58,240
Appreciate you.
258
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:05,360
We have a game here where it's set up for
hopefully Kyler Murray after sitting out and
259
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,884
watching, you know, game one and then, you
know, this game in Chicago to see you don't
260
00:15:11,884 --> 00:15:13,565
need to be Superman here.
261
00:15:13,725 --> 00:15:19,004
You need to be good enough, protect the
football, don't make the bad play, and we can
262
00:15:19,004 --> 00:15:19,644
move forward.
263
00:15:20,139 --> 00:15:25,820
And and I think that's so important when we
talk about, building on top of these two wins
264
00:15:25,820 --> 00:15:31,579
here early and then coming out and doing more
and more as we move on through the season and
265
00:15:31,579 --> 00:15:36,035
hopefully keeping this winning streak alive,
through the bye week and and and, you know,
266
00:15:36,035 --> 00:15:40,195
coming in to that Monday night football game
with a whole bunch of wins stacked under your
267
00:15:40,195 --> 00:15:40,754
belt.
268
00:15:40,754 --> 00:15:45,794
At this point, you're already kinda playing
with house money as the other teams, especially
269
00:15:45,794 --> 00:15:48,595
in the NFC North, are really trying to figure a
bunch of stuff out.
270
00:15:50,269 --> 00:15:55,950
Well and too, I mean, we're still, you know,
vibing from last year where we ended.
271
00:15:55,950 --> 00:15:57,950
I mean, we're one play away from the playoffs.
272
00:15:57,950 --> 00:16:01,709
We went, what, five and o, four and o in the
last few games.
273
00:16:02,195 --> 00:16:06,434
Know, we're just we got that mojo still going
from last year into this year.
274
00:16:06,754 --> 00:16:12,034
And, honestly, I got I I say a lot of it has to
do not just with Florida, but Dallas Turner,
275
00:16:12,034 --> 00:16:16,115
because he started coming on it towards the end
of the last year showing what he can do, and
276
00:16:16,115 --> 00:16:17,154
he's keeping that going.
277
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Well and KOC talked about that a lot at the end
of last year as well.
278
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,960
Even though the playoff, you know, hopes were
dashed pretty early because of where this team
279
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,840
was, it was all about building and stacking for
the future, improving incrementally, and moving
280
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,240
that on.
281
00:16:33,485 --> 00:16:38,764
And going back to last season now, you've won
seven in a row, and you've beaten all of your,
282
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:41,245
your your NFC North opponents.
283
00:16:41,245 --> 00:16:43,165
Some of them you've beaten twice now.
284
00:16:43,404 --> 00:16:49,440
So it's really easy to look at this to be very
positive about where this team is going even
285
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,600
though the offense hasn't really even hit its
stride yet.
286
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,480
Carson had a decent game coming in in relief, I
would say, in in game one.
287
00:16:58,879 --> 00:17:00,480
And then what up, Dave?
288
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,800
My guy, Skull Mafia, in the house.
289
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,759
Appreciate you, brother.
290
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:04,640
Thanks for tapping in.
291
00:17:05,975 --> 00:17:12,535
Even though you have the the offense sputtering
a little bit, obviously, conditions Sunday
292
00:17:12,535 --> 00:17:17,735
absolutely atrocious, I think you're hoping
that this team now with Kyler Murray under
293
00:17:17,735 --> 00:17:22,630
center again can really start to move the ball
down the field, and the offense can put
294
00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:28,309
pressure on opposing defenses as well even if
you are relying right now with the Jordan Mason
295
00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:40,184
injury very heavily on, you know, the the the
older legs of Aaron Jones to carry that
296
00:17:40,184 --> 00:17:40,984
workload.
297
00:17:41,224 --> 00:17:43,144
Selly hit on that a little bit.
298
00:17:43,144 --> 00:17:51,970
How do you feel about someone having a, you
know, a little bit older back there crowd and,
299
00:17:52,289 --> 00:17:57,090
you know, kind of your running back by
committee has now been reduced to really just
300
00:17:57,090 --> 00:17:57,730
one.
301
00:17:57,809 --> 00:18:03,650
DJ Dallas not getting a lot of snaps and, you
know, Damon Claiborne still not really having
302
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:05,575
the trust of this staff.
303
00:18:05,575 --> 00:18:10,694
Do you think this is sustainable for this
Vikings team as they ride out the next couple
304
00:18:10,694 --> 00:18:14,934
of weeks, or do you think that they may have to
go out and and try to find some help in that
305
00:18:14,934 --> 00:18:20,190
running back room knowing that Aaron Jones
senior, definitely on the back end of his
306
00:18:20,190 --> 00:18:21,950
career, still looking effective.
307
00:18:21,950 --> 00:18:26,590
But if he goes down with an injury, which he's
been prone to do, now you're kinda stuck with
308
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:30,430
the DJ Dallas and Damon Claiborne as your
running backs.
309
00:18:30,430 --> 00:18:35,644
Do you think there should be a move there, or
you ride it out here and let Aaron Jones return
310
00:18:35,644 --> 00:18:40,444
to, you know, maybe, 20, what, 13 or 14 when he
entered league?
311
00:18:40,444 --> 00:18:41,884
God, he's been around a long time.
312
00:18:41,964 --> 00:18:42,284
Yeah.
313
00:18:42,284 --> 00:18:43,884
I I think you ride it out.
314
00:18:43,884 --> 00:18:47,999
Maybe you check the waiver wire or check for
free agency for a move.
315
00:18:48,159 --> 00:18:52,880
However, I think Aaron Jones being the vet that
he is can get it done, especially when you got
316
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,559
great receivers on the outside.
317
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,200
You're not gonna really see heavy boxes all the
time.
318
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,684
So I I think just being a great player that he
is already, he should be okay.
319
00:19:01,765 --> 00:19:06,244
And then once you add Kyler with with his
running ability, should be able to even open it
320
00:19:06,244 --> 00:19:09,684
more once, like, Kyler gets more comfortable in
this KOC offense.
321
00:19:09,684 --> 00:19:12,244
So I actually think, like, they'll be okay for
now.
322
00:19:12,325 --> 00:19:16,539
And plus, with this with KOC, with the running
game, I I just think they're gonna there's
323
00:19:16,539 --> 00:19:19,099
gonna be a lot of lanes for him, though, to run
wild.
324
00:19:20,779 --> 00:19:21,100
Yeah.
325
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:27,660
I think we all sure hope that's the case, you
know, getting out of those messy conditions and
326
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:34,664
that fishbowl really without any significant
injuries on this Vikings team.
327
00:19:34,664 --> 00:19:36,984
You have to be pretty happy about that.
328
00:19:36,984 --> 00:19:40,265
It could have been any player on the field that
day.
329
00:19:40,265 --> 00:19:45,599
The the bears had two of their starters, not
just Caleb Williams, but the cornerback Tyreke
330
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:51,279
Stevenson, who I have no love for after the hit
that he laid on helmet to helmet, to Aaron
331
00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:51,919
Jones.
332
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:53,519
We say, yeah.
333
00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:54,720
Skull, me too, man.
334
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,919
I thought that was bad.
335
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,599
It didn't even ring his bell.
336
00:19:57,599 --> 00:19:57,839
Right?
337
00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:01,944
I think he keeps that, chin strap a little
loose to begin with.
338
00:20:01,944 --> 00:20:07,545
You see it pop off during the game quite a bit
in there, but, I mean, that was a a massive
339
00:20:07,545 --> 00:20:07,865
hit.
340
00:20:07,865 --> 00:20:09,704
It was clearly helmet to helmet.
341
00:20:09,704 --> 00:20:12,345
I thought it was gonna get a flag during the
game.
342
00:20:12,424 --> 00:20:14,105
Was very surprised that it didn't.
343
00:20:14,329 --> 00:20:21,210
Although it sounds like now they may be
reviewing the play for a possible, you know,
344
00:20:21,210 --> 00:20:24,250
fine or, you know, I don't know if they're
talking suspicious.
345
00:20:24,250 --> 00:20:30,765
It sounds like they're also reviewing the last
sack too for Turner on a possible five saying
346
00:20:30,765 --> 00:20:32,285
that I don't know.
347
00:20:32,285 --> 00:20:33,085
There's some issues
348
00:20:33,085 --> 00:20:34,524
with Yeah.
349
00:20:34,605 --> 00:20:36,605
B Flow's got plenty of money now.
350
00:20:36,605 --> 00:20:42,525
He can pay that one for DT because I got no
problem with that man ending the game with an
351
00:20:42,525 --> 00:20:43,804
exclamation point there.
352
00:20:44,259 --> 00:20:44,660
Yes.
353
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:46,419
Did he throw him down a little hard?
354
00:20:46,419 --> 00:20:46,740
Yes.
355
00:20:46,740 --> 00:20:50,659
If it's Caleb Williams in there, does the flag
probably come out?
356
00:20:50,980 --> 00:20:56,500
You know, I I I don't think that, you know,
that would have been a surprise to me to see
357
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:56,660
that.
358
00:20:56,974 --> 00:20:58,815
I would have been absolutely disgusted.
359
00:20:58,815 --> 00:21:00,654
I was just just football.
360
00:21:00,654 --> 00:21:08,335
I think just it a juggling from Turner because
they gave the they gave the bears two extra
361
00:21:08,335 --> 00:21:13,630
seconds at five seconds and then one at double
zero to punch it in again.
362
00:21:13,630 --> 00:21:17,789
I think I think Turner just took a pawn himself
and be like, dude, this game's over with.
363
00:21:17,789 --> 00:21:19,470
Let's let's just end it now.
364
00:21:19,470 --> 00:21:19,869
You know?
365
00:21:19,869 --> 00:21:26,614
And and, Bubba, you talked about possibly rule
changes or looking at the role for the Rogers
366
00:21:27,015 --> 00:21:30,134
interception that was not called.
367
00:21:30,454 --> 00:21:35,414
A lot of people are thinking the same thing
that they're gonna look at that because if he
368
00:21:35,414 --> 00:21:39,095
was facing if he was turned around the other
way and catching it like a receiver with his
369
00:21:39,095 --> 00:21:42,289
tip toes in there, it's an interception.
370
00:21:42,849 --> 00:21:46,929
And, you know, so there there is talk that they
might be looking at that again.
371
00:21:48,049 --> 00:21:50,690
But Roger still have himself a heck of a game.
372
00:21:51,330 --> 00:21:51,730
Yeah.
373
00:21:51,730 --> 00:21:56,369
And I kinda glossed over it a little bit early
on that, you know, he also had the massive
374
00:21:56,369 --> 00:22:01,065
blocked field goal that completely changes the
course of that game.
375
00:22:01,384 --> 00:22:01,704
Right?
376
00:22:01,704 --> 00:22:02,025
Yeah.
377
00:22:02,025 --> 00:22:07,704
It would have been to make it nine to three at
that point or nine to six at that point
378
00:22:07,704 --> 00:22:08,904
completely changes things.
379
00:22:08,904 --> 00:22:09,304
Right?
380
00:22:09,384 --> 00:22:13,029
Or would have made it six six, actually, I
think is where we were in the game.
381
00:22:13,029 --> 00:22:13,269
Right?
382
00:22:13,269 --> 00:22:14,150
Ties the game up.
383
00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:15,830
Makes it completely different.
384
00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:21,910
So I really thought that, you know, Isaiah
Rogers, obviously, you know, Turner was a
385
00:22:21,910 --> 00:22:22,869
menace all day.
386
00:22:22,869 --> 00:22:29,525
Hard not to pick him as your MVP, but, you
know, you cannot ignore what Isaiah Rogers
387
00:22:29,525 --> 00:22:32,244
means to this team right now.
388
00:22:32,404 --> 00:22:36,804
And and I think it's not just in the, you know,
the big plays that he's making, but I think
389
00:22:36,804 --> 00:22:41,340
it's some of his tackling on the outside in the
run game that saved a couple of plays as well
390
00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:43,740
and and saved some massive plays from
happening.
391
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:44,299
So
392
00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:47,900
Yeah.
393
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:48,059
No.
394
00:22:48,059 --> 00:22:55,144
And also being You you also can't you also
can't take a look at Cashman because I heard a
395
00:22:55,144 --> 00:23:04,904
stat too that his last four gay or four of his
last 10 games, he's had 10 tackles and, like
396
00:23:05,305 --> 00:23:07,464
and another stat that he's the only player to
do that.
397
00:23:07,464 --> 00:23:10,190
So Casper's also a big part of that defense
too.
398
00:23:10,190 --> 00:23:11,469
So they're all playing together.
399
00:23:11,710 --> 00:23:13,469
Did I mention former Jet?
400
00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:15,549
Couldn't former Jet.
401
00:23:16,109 --> 00:23:16,829
Yeah.
402
00:23:18,269 --> 00:23:20,509
Who couldn't find a roster spot for him?
403
00:23:20,909 --> 00:23:21,789
And look what he's doing.
404
00:23:22,294 --> 00:23:25,894
I think there's well, there's a lot of players,
you know, people that are probably looking at
405
00:23:25,894 --> 00:23:28,775
other places now for roster people.
406
00:23:28,775 --> 00:23:30,775
It's just like, can't keep people healthy.
407
00:23:30,775 --> 00:23:31,894
But yeah.
408
00:23:32,294 --> 00:23:35,815
But it just makes you think, though, there's
you know, like you said, the Jets couldn't hold
409
00:23:35,815 --> 00:23:36,214
on to him.
410
00:23:36,214 --> 00:23:37,174
Couldn't find a roster spot.
411
00:23:37,174 --> 00:23:37,894
Look what he's doing now.
412
00:23:38,450 --> 00:23:40,849
Minnesota seems to be like that all the time
too.
413
00:23:40,849 --> 00:23:42,210
We cut a player.
414
00:23:42,210 --> 00:23:46,690
We remove a player and, you know, don't sign a
guy and he goes off somewhere else.
415
00:23:46,690 --> 00:23:51,329
I mean, you know, a lot of people here are
talking about, like, Danny Jones or, you know,
416
00:23:51,329 --> 00:23:52,289
Sam Darnell.
417
00:23:52,289 --> 00:23:54,565
You know, we didn't want them to look what they
did elsewhere.
418
00:23:54,565 --> 00:23:57,524
So we we feel you on that aspect.
419
00:23:58,404 --> 00:23:58,805
Yeah.
420
00:23:58,805 --> 00:23:59,684
Fair enough.
421
00:24:00,644 --> 00:24:01,684
Papa Gary.
422
00:24:01,525 --> 00:24:03,924
Great point about to avoiding injuries.
423
00:24:03,924 --> 00:24:09,519
Because if you've seen today the news with all
different QBs going down, Jackson Dart might be
424
00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:10,480
out for the season.
425
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,359
Well
426
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,240
Yeah.
427
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,720
Jayden Daniels went down this weekend as well.
428
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:15,519
I don't know what the
429
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:17,599
diagnosis was on the elbow.
430
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,400
That's what I was gonna bring up too.
431
00:24:20,914 --> 00:24:28,355
You know, is the phone ringing in in the, KLC's
office for maybe a small a small trade for, JJ
432
00:24:28,355 --> 00:24:29,075
McCarthy?
433
00:24:29,075 --> 00:24:30,754
I mean, what do you guys think of that?
434
00:24:30,994 --> 00:24:36,960
Up here with the Giants fans up here on the
radio, a lot of them were saying maybe JJ or,
435
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,519
Anthony Richardson, they might get some calls
because you I don't
436
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:39,919
know if you could
437
00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:41,839
ride out a whole season with Jameis.
438
00:24:41,919 --> 00:24:45,519
It's fun television, but if you wanna win, I
don't know if you really wanna do this.
439
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,119
Yeah.
440
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:47,440
Yeah.
441
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,480
And do they wanna win?
442
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:54,815
Is this a great excuse to to take another
season and to come away with a a top pick in a,
443
00:24:55,054 --> 00:24:59,375
what everyone's calling kind of a historically
deep and talented draft?
444
00:24:59,375 --> 00:25:01,294
So, yeah, who knows, man?
445
00:25:01,294 --> 00:25:04,894
That Giants organization, has plenty of their
own problems.
446
00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:10,519
If they want a JJ McCarthy problem, I don't
think there's too many people in Minnesota
447
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:12,519
right now that are gonna fight them on that.
448
00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:14,039
No.
449
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:15,559
I I I don't think so either.
450
00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:17,559
I mean, you know, we all talked about it.
451
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:23,214
You know, maybe JJ just needs to, you know,
step aside or or sit and learn or maybe a new
452
00:25:23,214 --> 00:25:30,335
scenery and, you know, maybe going to New York,
which is a big media place, but he gets
453
00:25:30,335 --> 00:25:32,989
alongside his former coach's brother.
454
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:34,509
So maybe that might help him.
455
00:25:34,509 --> 00:25:38,749
But, you know, it was something I heard today a
couple of different radio stations and
456
00:25:39,309 --> 00:25:42,589
interviews are saying that maybe the Vikings
are getting a call for JJ.
457
00:25:43,484 --> 00:25:49,724
And that's why I never agreed with them trading
him for nothing before, the season started or
458
00:25:49,724 --> 00:25:50,924
cutting him at that.
459
00:25:50,924 --> 00:25:53,085
Like, the guy the man still has value.
460
00:25:53,085 --> 00:25:57,325
He's still a top 40 or 45 quarterback, wherever
you wanna put him in there.
461
00:25:57,325 --> 00:26:02,099
There's a lot of teams that would be happy to
have a young player with some of the traits
462
00:26:02,099 --> 00:26:03,299
that he possesses.
463
00:26:03,299 --> 00:26:06,019
Has he been able to put it all together yet in
the league?
464
00:26:06,019 --> 00:26:06,259
No.
465
00:26:06,259 --> 00:26:06,819
He hasn't.
466
00:26:06,819 --> 00:26:10,819
But there's a ton of coaches I'm sure that are
sitting back and going, we would offer that.
467
00:26:10,819 --> 00:26:13,140
Now you got a few of these guys up against the
ropes.
468
00:26:13,355 --> 00:26:18,154
You may be able to squeeze a fourth or even a a
third round pick depending on how some
469
00:26:18,154 --> 00:26:21,595
desperate someone is where you are never going
to get that preseason.
470
00:26:21,595 --> 00:26:26,555
So, you know, I I always kinda said, just as a
general manager and someone looking at the
471
00:26:26,555 --> 00:26:31,250
whole of the team, not just the talent that's
going out on the field, that that to hang on
472
00:26:31,250 --> 00:26:35,409
him hang on to him right now cost you next to
nothing on a rookie contract.
473
00:26:35,569 --> 00:26:39,730
You might as well stick around there and see
what happens and and see if that value builds
474
00:26:39,730 --> 00:26:45,575
without him having to really do anything but
not go out there and put bad plays on tape.
475
00:26:46,055 --> 00:26:50,055
Well, that and just sit back and learn the
playbook.
476
00:26:50,055 --> 00:26:50,855
Watch the video.
477
00:26:50,855 --> 00:26:51,975
Watch what Kyle and Mary do.
478
00:26:51,975 --> 00:26:53,335
Watch what Tracy wants to do.
479
00:26:53,335 --> 00:26:54,134
Watch the videos.
480
00:26:54,630 --> 00:26:55,990
You know, that's what what
481
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:57,190
Kyle has done so far.
482
00:26:57,190 --> 00:26:57,269
But
483
00:26:57,509 --> 00:26:58,069
Oh, no.
484
00:26:58,069 --> 00:26:59,910
But I'm just saying the practice and stuff.
485
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:00,470
Yeah.
486
00:27:00,549 --> 00:27:04,150
But and that's the thing with Kyle too, and I
think Sal, I think he brought it up.
487
00:27:04,150 --> 00:27:05,909
He just had to sit back and play.
488
00:27:05,910 --> 00:27:06,549
You know?
489
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:10,105
He just had to sit back and not have to put
pressure on himself.
490
00:27:10,105 --> 00:27:12,024
Just let the offense do their thing.
491
00:27:12,345 --> 00:27:14,024
The defense has got their back.
492
00:27:14,105 --> 00:27:15,785
You know, don't go out there and be super mad.
493
00:27:15,785 --> 00:27:17,384
Just go out there and play football.
494
00:27:18,025 --> 00:27:20,105
Kyler has everything presented.
495
00:27:20,105 --> 00:27:22,984
All he has to do is just has JJ on the outside.
496
00:27:22,984 --> 00:27:25,109
He has Addison on the outside.
497
00:27:25,109 --> 00:27:26,150
He has a great line.
498
00:27:26,150 --> 00:27:27,670
He has a great play caller.
499
00:27:27,670 --> 00:27:30,230
He just has to let the offense come to him.
500
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:31,350
Don't force anything.
501
00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:32,710
You're not at Oklahoma anymore.
502
00:27:32,710 --> 00:27:34,390
You're not at Arizona anymore.
503
00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:39,845
Just let your playmate And I think I think this
team can be like it was two years ago,
504
00:27:39,845 --> 00:27:40,484
honestly.
505
00:27:40,644 --> 00:27:42,005
Why can't you be like your seat?
506
00:27:42,005 --> 00:27:42,404
And
507
00:27:43,045 --> 00:27:47,045
the thing is is Kyle is playing for the team he
grew up watching, you know, too.
508
00:27:47,045 --> 00:27:51,444
So go out there and show us that, yeah, that
you could do what we just need you to do is
509
00:27:51,444 --> 00:27:52,325
just manage the game.
510
00:27:54,220 --> 00:27:54,700
Yeah.
511
00:27:54,700 --> 00:28:00,700
Barber says, if we let, McCarthy go, that's Joe
Milton off of Dallas' practice squad.
512
00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:01,099
Right?
513
00:28:01,420 --> 00:28:06,619
You know, there's you open up some options, and
I don't think there was anything, ever wrong
514
00:28:06,619 --> 00:28:10,294
with just kinda hanging out and letting options
present themselves.
515
00:28:10,375 --> 00:28:11,575
Welcome back, coach.
516
00:28:11,654 --> 00:28:13,335
Technical difficulties on your end.
517
00:28:13,335 --> 00:28:14,375
We got them back, though.
518
00:28:14,375 --> 00:28:15,015
Yes, sir.
519
00:28:15,015 --> 00:28:15,414
Yes, sir.
520
00:28:15,414 --> 00:28:16,134
I'm back.
521
00:28:17,015 --> 00:28:20,454
Wanna tell everybody about the live tailgate
party schedule we got.
522
00:28:20,454 --> 00:28:23,789
You can check it out at
tailgate.thesceneprojects.com.
523
00:28:24,029 --> 00:28:30,269
Every home game, we are gonna be live from the
VWO army division tailgate at 903 Washington.
524
00:28:30,269 --> 00:28:32,989
That's right next door to Fathead Bills.
525
00:28:32,990 --> 00:28:35,630
Great, great venue for a party.
526
00:28:35,630 --> 00:28:41,934
Bee and Cody were there all all day on Sunday
for the game opener a few weeks ago.
527
00:28:42,414 --> 00:28:44,734
Cody can vouch for the pickle shots.
528
00:28:44,734 --> 00:28:47,374
If you see them while you're there, they are
excellent.
529
00:28:48,095 --> 00:28:50,174
And you're you're a block from the stadium.
530
00:28:50,174 --> 00:28:53,869
Doesn't get any better as far as the tailgate
experience goes for the home games.
531
00:28:53,869 --> 00:28:57,549
And then away games, we may end up bouncing
around a little bit.
532
00:28:57,549 --> 00:29:02,750
We've had some offers on the table from some
other tailgate and watch parties, but we were
533
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:04,109
at Brewster's last weekend.
534
00:29:04,109 --> 00:29:10,204
Cody, talk to me a little bit about the vibe
down there at Brewster's Bar and Grill for the
535
00:29:10,204 --> 00:29:16,044
game on Sunday while you guys were there doing
our show live pregame and then hanging out
536
00:29:16,044 --> 00:29:16,525
during the game.
537
00:29:17,259 --> 00:29:17,500
Yeah.
538
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:17,900
No.
539
00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:19,099
Vibe was electric.
540
00:29:19,099 --> 00:29:24,539
Everybody was, you know, chomping at the bit,
seeing what we would do against the bears.
541
00:29:24,940 --> 00:29:26,779
Shout out to everybody who stopped out.
542
00:29:27,019 --> 00:29:28,700
It was amazing, honestly.
543
00:29:28,859 --> 00:29:31,904
Didn't get to try those wings, but Kevin did.
544
00:29:31,904 --> 00:29:34,144
So we'll have to get a review on those.
545
00:29:35,345 --> 00:29:37,424
You're darn right we will.
546
00:29:37,664 --> 00:29:43,370
And, we'll we'll get Kevin on, in the future
again, and obviously love having him tap in
547
00:29:43,370 --> 00:29:44,650
with us for the pregame.
548
00:29:44,650 --> 00:29:49,850
Thought he brought some great insights on this
bears team, especially with him being a a bears
549
00:29:49,850 --> 00:29:50,569
fan.
550
00:29:50,730 --> 00:29:55,930
He was worried from Jump Street, and and I
think a lot of bears came in, you know,
551
00:29:55,930 --> 00:30:01,035
especially the fan base came in pretty
overconfident after a 59 performance, but
552
00:30:01,035 --> 00:30:07,755
exactly, what he was worried about, seemed to
come to fruition on Sunday in Sculcherfield.
553
00:30:07,755 --> 00:30:13,599
It was 59 points against a team that, honestly,
I don't think anybody has going to the
554
00:30:13,599 --> 00:30:14,159
playoffs.
555
00:30:14,159 --> 00:30:16,719
And if they do, it's barely squeaking in.
556
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:22,079
So, you know, and, you know, maybe we're
talking about a little bit of a different high
557
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:24,799
score game if the weather weather was perfect,
but it wasn't.
558
00:30:25,454 --> 00:30:26,095
You know?
559
00:30:26,095 --> 00:30:29,294
And and Kevin was concerned from the get go.
560
00:30:29,294 --> 00:30:33,614
He even said that the defense is gonna get to
Caleb, and it's gonna rattle his cage.
561
00:30:35,934 --> 00:30:37,855
And it did exactly that.
562
00:30:38,015 --> 00:30:44,200
Coach, any final thoughts on the bears game
before we move on and look ahead to Tampa Bay
563
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:44,919
this week?
564
00:30:45,159 --> 00:30:45,480
No.
565
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,279
I'm good.
566
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:48,119
It was a it was a good game.
567
00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:51,640
Boys found a way to find a, find a way.
568
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,799
That's what you gotta do in games like that.
569
00:30:55,375 --> 00:30:55,934
Totally.
570
00:30:55,934 --> 00:30:59,934
And I think it's time to kinda put a bow on it
and and move on.
571
00:30:59,934 --> 00:31:06,174
It's nice to be able, to to go out there to to
claim the top of the North, but this team still
572
00:31:06,174 --> 00:31:13,039
has a lot to prove, and that's gonna start
Sunday down in Tampa Bay where the Vikings will
573
00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:15,119
take on the buccaneers.
574
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:17,919
The buccaneers coming off a loss to the browns.
575
00:31:17,919 --> 00:31:20,400
That was a little bit of a weird game, it
seemed like.
576
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,884
I didn't get a chance to really tap in on that.
577
00:31:22,884 --> 00:31:28,805
But, Selly, your thoughts on on the Bucks
performance Sunday in Cleveland before we start
578
00:31:28,805 --> 00:31:31,845
to talk about, the game with the Vikings this
weekend.
579
00:31:32,404 --> 00:31:32,884
Yeah.
580
00:31:32,884 --> 00:31:37,285
Very weird, especially, like, with the weather
delay just to do, like, the the last two
581
00:31:37,285 --> 00:31:37,605
minutes.
582
00:31:38,089 --> 00:31:43,210
But, the brown the browns actually took it to
him on offense, which is very shocking because
583
00:31:43,210 --> 00:31:46,809
a lot of people, I think, thought Deshaun
Watson was playing for his job.
584
00:31:47,369 --> 00:31:51,210
And I I was honestly I think the bucks might be
missing Mike Evans a little bit.
585
00:31:51,835 --> 00:31:54,474
Maybe, there's gonna be a lot of pressure.
586
00:31:55,035 --> 00:31:57,755
There's gonna be a lot of pressure on this
team, especially with Todd Bowles.
587
00:31:57,755 --> 00:32:02,474
He's playing for his he's coaching for his job
and Baker signing the contract.
588
00:32:02,475 --> 00:32:06,730
I I just think there's a lot of there's a lot
of pressure on a lot of people, and people
589
00:32:06,730 --> 00:32:08,169
aren't performing right now.
590
00:32:08,890 --> 00:32:09,769
Yeah.
591
00:32:11,690 --> 00:32:16,090
And I haven't followed the Bucks closely
enough, but, just knowing, you know, losing
592
00:32:16,090 --> 00:32:21,494
Mike Evans, who's been a staple in this league
for over a decade, you know what the man brings
593
00:32:21,494 --> 00:32:22,134
to the table.
594
00:32:22,134 --> 00:32:26,775
Anytime you lose that kind of talent from a
team, there's going to be a drop off.
595
00:32:26,775 --> 00:32:31,654
Now their inability to stop the browns, gives
me a little bit of hope that this Vikings
596
00:32:31,654 --> 00:32:37,009
offense can finally get rolling a little bit
and, you know, moving the ball, especially with
597
00:32:37,009 --> 00:32:40,529
what we've shown in the running game the last
few weeks.
598
00:32:40,930 --> 00:32:44,769
Now moving out there and and Kyler starting at
quarterback.
599
00:32:45,090 --> 00:32:50,275
I'm really hoping that for the Vikings, this
team is a little bit of a get right game for us
600
00:32:50,434 --> 00:32:53,554
playing outside under the sun in Tampa Bay.
601
00:32:54,434 --> 00:32:59,474
Grateful that it's, you know, kind of moving
towards the end of November now and not two
602
00:32:59,474 --> 00:33:04,350
weeks ago when it was probably over a 100
degrees down there and kinda roasting.
603
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:08,750
There's a little bit of time, you know, to to
let that weather cool off a little bit, but
604
00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:13,390
always a tough place to play down there at
Raymond James Stadium down in Tampa Bay.
605
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:15,309
Yeah.
606
00:33:15,309 --> 00:33:19,134
I mean, Deshaun moved the ball against them up
and down the field.
607
00:33:19,134 --> 00:33:22,414
He honestly looked like the old Deshaun, like
the Houston, Texas Deshaun.
608
00:33:22,575 --> 00:33:28,575
So I think Kyler and this offense are gonna
chance to do their thing, especially with going
609
00:33:28,575 --> 00:33:32,255
up against a Brian Flores defense where they're
used to getting blitzed in practice.
610
00:33:32,255 --> 00:33:34,789
So what Todd Bowles loves to do, he blitzes all
the time.
611
00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:36,870
So I don't I don't think it'd be a shock to
them.
612
00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:40,470
And I think, honestly, there's gonna be chance
for chances for a lot of big plays.
613
00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:44,230
B, I'm gonna put it on you.
614
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:49,144
Any, interesting stats, that you might dig up
about this game that you wanna highlight?
615
00:33:49,144 --> 00:33:52,825
I'm gonna kick it to coach right now, get a
couple of his thoughts, but give you a little
616
00:33:52,825 --> 00:33:58,424
bit of homework and and maybe some things for
us to highlight with that Bucks team that we
617
00:33:58,424 --> 00:33:59,544
should be looking at.
618
00:33:59,785 --> 00:34:04,429
Coach, how are you feeling about the Vikings
going down into Florida this week?
619
00:34:04,829 --> 00:34:06,190
I'm fairly confident.
620
00:34:06,750 --> 00:34:07,950
You're you were right.
621
00:34:08,110 --> 00:34:10,590
I think this has to be a get right game.
622
00:34:11,070 --> 00:34:14,590
Kyler Murray's first game back, we don't really
know what we're getting from him.
623
00:34:15,035 --> 00:34:16,954
You know, a small sample size.
624
00:34:17,675 --> 00:34:20,155
Interested to see if we can stick with that
run.
625
00:34:21,275 --> 00:34:26,235
You know, I don't think Aaron Jones can do 20
carries, for a full season.
626
00:34:26,394 --> 00:34:29,539
He's just gonna get worn down, getting up there
in age.
627
00:34:29,940 --> 00:34:36,019
And can this defense continue to keep
quarterbacks just, you know, off their game and
628
00:34:36,019 --> 00:34:36,739
confused?
629
00:34:38,260 --> 00:34:38,579
No.
630
00:34:38,579 --> 00:34:40,420
I I don't think anybody's surprised.
631
00:34:40,659 --> 00:34:48,315
Baker Mayfield is no Caleb Williams, but he is
plenty elusive and plenty tough back there to
632
00:34:48,315 --> 00:34:53,434
be able, to to sustain some of that pressure
and to still make some plays.
633
00:34:53,514 --> 00:34:58,349
Do you think there's any adjustment from Brian
Flores, or do you think this is just what it's
634
00:34:58,349 --> 00:34:58,989
gonna be?
635
00:34:58,989 --> 00:35:02,109
I'm bringing pressure 70% of the time against
you.
636
00:35:02,109 --> 00:35:05,630
I'm gonna bring it from all different areas of
the field.
637
00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:11,025
I'm gonna create matchup problems for you now
being able to put multiple defensive linemen
638
00:35:11,025 --> 00:35:16,704
out there and to change up from the three down
linemen to a four down linemen set and to
639
00:35:16,704 --> 00:35:20,625
completely throw out all plans that you may
have had as an offense?
640
00:35:20,625 --> 00:35:25,639
Or do you think that he starts to slowly dial
back into play a little bit more?
641
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:30,280
I don't wanna say conservative, but dropping
back into pass coverage a little bit more,
642
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:36,324
still showing pressure, but then dropping back,
maybe trying to create more poor decisions by
643
00:35:36,324 --> 00:35:41,445
speeding up that QB time clock and maybe
throwing some passes into areas where you're
644
00:35:41,445 --> 00:35:45,045
not, you know, where you're not safe to throw
the ball.
645
00:35:45,045 --> 00:35:45,684
I
646
00:35:46,005 --> 00:35:47,925
think he continues to send the house.
647
00:35:47,925 --> 00:35:48,244
You know?
648
00:35:48,244 --> 00:35:50,164
They send different looks.
649
00:35:50,164 --> 00:35:54,820
I mean, we're we constantly see different
things from week in and week out.
650
00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:57,780
So, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
651
00:35:57,780 --> 00:36:00,579
I say we continue to go after the quarterbacks.
652
00:36:00,739 --> 00:36:07,434
Like you said, me, Baker Mayfield isn't as
athletic, doesn't have the speed like Caleb
653
00:36:07,434 --> 00:36:10,554
Williams, but he still can move even at his
age.
654
00:36:10,554 --> 00:36:12,635
So, and he's a dog.
655
00:36:12,635 --> 00:36:14,155
Can't put it past him.
656
00:36:16,155 --> 00:36:23,239
Cody, you you were, just, off camera while we
were talking about some of the different fronts
657
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,199
that Flores was bringing, and I gotta shout out
our guy, Dell, you know, been a guest on the
658
00:36:28,199 --> 00:36:30,519
show, and he's definitely a skull brother out
there.
659
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,485
He had kinda pointed out that during the game
in Chicago that we started to run more of a
660
00:36:37,485 --> 00:36:44,764
four four front, meaning four down linemen and
four linebackers in there, leaving you just the
661
00:36:44,764 --> 00:36:45,885
three defensive back.
662
00:36:45,885 --> 00:36:51,679
Now some of that, obviously, conditions playing
into it, but this this player definitely loves
663
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:57,679
it, and we lost coach again, of course, as I'm
trying to get a question out to him.
664
00:36:57,679 --> 00:37:00,159
But, well, I'll ask him when he comes back.
665
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:01,679
B, did you find any stats for us?
666
00:37:02,034 --> 00:37:02,514
Yeah.
667
00:37:02,514 --> 00:37:09,875
So so looking at the Tampa's stats for the last
two weeks, they've given up 28 points.
668
00:37:09,875 --> 00:37:11,715
They've scored 23 points.
669
00:37:12,914 --> 00:37:14,035
Let's see here.
670
00:37:14,275 --> 00:37:16,275
There was one interesting one here.
671
00:37:16,980 --> 00:37:23,300
They've given up, three touchdown passes, so
that kind of their favorite, going to pick.
672
00:37:25,539 --> 00:37:28,019
Baker Mayfield's got sacked seven times.
673
00:37:28,820 --> 00:37:34,195
They sacked, their they've had cussed three
sacks.
674
00:37:35,554 --> 00:37:36,595
Let's see here.
675
00:37:37,155 --> 00:37:39,235
Where was the interesting one I had?
676
00:37:39,315 --> 00:37:45,210
The running game, I think, is gonna be key
because Bucks are there for an average of a 113
677
00:37:45,210 --> 00:37:49,769
yards, I guess, I think it's gonna be key to
the game.
678
00:37:50,090 --> 00:37:53,369
It's definitely we gotta get the ball in our
hands and run it.
679
00:37:55,769 --> 00:37:57,690
They have not had a punt return yet.
680
00:37:57,815 --> 00:38:02,775
The they're so yeah.
681
00:38:02,775 --> 00:38:07,974
So that's kinda interesting too that they have
not had a chance to do a punt return.
682
00:38:07,974 --> 00:38:08,535
So
683
00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:15,510
Or or just don't want to similar to what we saw
out of this Viking team last year after Mile
684
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:24,789
Price's fiasco in into the Green Bay special
teams and the game in Lambo, where after that,
685
00:38:24,789 --> 00:38:26,045
we were just sending guy.
686
00:38:26,045 --> 00:38:27,644
We were fair catching everything.
687
00:38:27,644 --> 00:38:30,845
When you don't trust your return game, it's
easy to do.
688
00:38:31,005 --> 00:38:32,525
One thing that definitely stood
689
00:38:33,644 --> 00:38:37,805
The turnover ratio was minus four, so they got
they
690
00:38:37,805 --> 00:38:38,684
said Well, we like that.
691
00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:39,769
Yeah.
692
00:38:40,969 --> 00:38:46,170
Things that stood out to me, obviously, that
turnover ratio, a big one, but the seven sacks
693
00:38:46,170 --> 00:38:51,289
that they've given up mean that, yeah,
definitely not pulling the foot off the gas by
694
00:38:51,289 --> 00:38:54,170
any means this weekend on the defensive side.
695
00:38:54,515 --> 00:39:00,275
You know Flores is gonna try to get after him
and create maybe seven sacks of his own on
696
00:39:00,275 --> 00:39:06,755
Sunday afternoon and to get after the
quarterback and really disrupt what the Tampa
697
00:39:06,755 --> 00:39:09,474
Bay Buccaneers want to do on offense.
698
00:39:09,769 --> 00:39:11,050
What's been really, really
699
00:39:11,929 --> 00:39:17,449
I do think it sounds like I do think it sounds
right a little bit that they are missing Evans.
700
00:39:17,449 --> 00:39:20,809
I mean, he's been the key to their offense
since he's been there.
701
00:39:21,130 --> 00:39:23,130
You know, he's a thousand yard.
702
00:39:23,130 --> 00:39:28,785
I I don't think he's had it under a thousand
yards in a while, but I just sit there.
703
00:39:28,785 --> 00:39:31,664
Just trying to figure out who's gonna be that
next person.
704
00:39:31,664 --> 00:39:35,824
I just have not figured it out yet, so they're
relying on the run game a little bit more with
705
00:39:35,824 --> 00:39:37,184
Bucky and stuff like that.
706
00:39:37,184 --> 00:39:40,860
So we definitely, you know, put the pressure on
them.
707
00:39:40,860 --> 00:39:43,340
They might be lost without their go to guy.
708
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:51,944
Selly, let's get your thoughts in here about
the about the Bucks and what they're gonna try
709
00:39:51,944 --> 00:39:57,944
to do against this Vikings defense and what
they're gonna try to do on defense against this
710
00:39:57,944 --> 00:39:59,065
Vikings offense.
711
00:39:59,065 --> 00:40:00,505
You can start wherever you want to.
712
00:40:04,420 --> 00:40:09,140
Well, I know Todd Todd Bowles loves to blitz,
so he's definitely gonna he's just like Brian
713
00:40:09,140 --> 00:40:09,539
Flores.
714
00:40:09,539 --> 00:40:10,820
He's gonna blitz a lot.
715
00:40:11,059 --> 00:40:17,219
And I I know big plays whenever you blitz as
much as you as much as the Bucks do, there's
716
00:40:16,445 --> 00:40:17,724
big chances for big plays.
717
00:40:17,724 --> 00:40:19,965
So Justin Jefferson's gonna have one on ones.
718
00:40:20,204 --> 00:40:21,804
Addison's gonna have one on ones.
719
00:40:21,804 --> 00:40:25,644
And I just think Kyler's just gonna have to let
it fly if he sees single high.
720
00:40:26,204 --> 00:40:28,525
They're not gonna play, cover two a lot.
721
00:40:28,525 --> 00:40:33,440
It's just gonna be so I think just, whenever
you have your chances with Jets one on one, you
722
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,480
just gotta let it go.
723
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,359
Let it fly.
724
00:40:37,359 --> 00:40:43,535
I think there's a a lot of people in Minnesota
and Vikings fans around the world that would
725
00:40:43,535 --> 00:40:44,575
love to see that.
726
00:40:44,575 --> 00:40:48,494
We wanna see Jettas getting that ball and
making those big plays.
727
00:40:48,575 --> 00:40:54,894
I think we're really looking for Jordan Addison
to step up this year and to be a factor, which
728
00:40:54,894 --> 00:40:57,614
he just hasn't been in two seasons now.
729
00:40:58,059 --> 00:41:00,380
I I I've kind of said it repeatedly at
730
00:41:00,380 --> 00:41:00,859
this point.
731
00:41:00,859 --> 00:41:01,260
Too.
732
00:41:01,260 --> 00:41:05,980
I mean, he's another one too that you know, I
know we brought him in more for run block as a
733
00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:10,775
receiver, but, you know, definitely gotta get
him involved, Hawkins involved, but, you know,
734
00:41:10,775 --> 00:41:12,055
it sound like you're right.
735
00:41:12,055 --> 00:41:17,815
I think if they see Jenna one on one, you just
throw it up there and let let let them go get
736
00:41:17,815 --> 00:41:18,135
it.
737
00:41:18,135 --> 00:41:18,535
I mean
738
00:41:19,735 --> 00:41:24,375
Which I think is something that, you know,
Carson Wentz was unafraid to do, and,
739
00:41:24,375 --> 00:41:29,220
hopefully, Kyler Murray has kinda been watching
on the sidelines and and soaking that in and
740
00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:33,860
realizing what a special talent that he has out
there, to do it.
741
00:41:34,180 --> 00:41:39,380
I just hope that the throws look better than,
you know, his first one in US Bank Stadium a
742
00:41:39,380 --> 00:41:40,019
few weeks ago.
743
00:41:40,325 --> 00:41:42,325
They don't get much worse than that.
744
00:41:42,565 --> 00:41:43,525
Small sample size.
745
00:41:43,525 --> 00:41:48,085
I'm I'm not trying to hold 11 plays against the
man before he goes out with the injury.
746
00:41:48,405 --> 00:41:53,445
But I think that, you know, Vikings fans have
now seen that there's a clear path to winning
747
00:41:53,739 --> 00:41:58,940
Even if the offense isn't performing at an
explosive level, this defense can win you games
748
00:41:58,940 --> 00:42:01,099
and can continue to win you games.
749
00:42:01,099 --> 00:42:06,534
I think you can win double digit games even
with a a Carson Wentz back there starting, But
750
00:42:06,534 --> 00:42:09,015
that's not the ceiling for this team.
751
00:42:09,255 --> 00:42:11,974
That's not, you know, where this team wants to
go.
752
00:42:11,974 --> 00:42:17,574
We wanna see these explosives, and, obviously,
Kyler Murray gives you the best chance to shake
753
00:42:17,574 --> 00:42:22,090
things up a little bit and to bring something
different to the table, something that, you
754
00:42:22,090 --> 00:42:24,969
know, Kevin O'Connell has never had on offense.
755
00:42:24,969 --> 00:42:30,650
A dynamic athlete back there at the quarterback
position that can hopefully make some plays
756
00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:33,530
with you, not just with their arm, but with
their legs as well.
757
00:42:35,875 --> 00:42:36,275
Yeah.
758
00:42:36,275 --> 00:42:36,594
No.
759
00:42:36,594 --> 00:42:42,275
Definitely, I think, you know, Kyler came to
the best situation that he's probably been in.
760
00:42:42,514 --> 00:42:47,394
KLC's got his quarterback that, you know,
that's athletic.
761
00:42:47,394 --> 00:42:53,750
I mean, it's just it you know, kind of makes it
seem like it's a perfect match, but yet, well,
762
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:54,950
it's out for 11 plays.
763
00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:57,750
So we definitely gotta see what it's like for a
whole game.
764
00:42:58,469 --> 00:43:02,550
And I know if this game was at home and Kyle
was struggling, we'd probably hear some boos
765
00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:08,094
because I think everybody wants to go with the
hot hand and wants to keep it keep it rolling.
766
00:43:08,094 --> 00:43:13,054
So Kyle has got some shoes to fill, and he's
gotta show that he belongs here.
767
00:43:15,054 --> 00:43:15,454
Yeah.
768
00:43:15,454 --> 00:43:21,000
And and I guess I'm not of the mind to you
invested a lot of time and energy into Oh,
769
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:21,160
Oh, yeah.
770
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,800
Building this offense around the skill set of
Kyler Murray and having him out there.
771
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,599
He didn't really get a chance to do much out
there.
772
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:31,320
I I really agree that he should be starting
this week.
773
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,614
If he feels ready and there's no, you know,
lingering effects from the concussion, he's
774
00:43:35,614 --> 00:43:37,055
passed the protocols now.
775
00:43:37,135 --> 00:43:38,015
You gotta get him out there.
776
00:43:38,015 --> 00:43:38,974
You gotta test it.
777
00:43:38,974 --> 00:43:43,054
And I think the time is now while you're
playing with house money a little bit, you
778
00:43:43,054 --> 00:43:45,855
know, with the two and o start, two and o in
the division.
779
00:43:46,015 --> 00:43:46,815
Get out there.
780
00:43:46,815 --> 00:43:51,769
Because if it looks like trash for the next
couple of weeks before the buy, you can pivot
781
00:43:51,769 --> 00:43:52,250
at the buy.
782
00:43:52,250 --> 00:43:53,769
We can say, like, look, Kyler.
783
00:43:53,769 --> 00:43:54,730
It was great.
784
00:43:54,730 --> 00:43:58,250
Maybe you're trading him before the trade
deadline, and you're saying, hey.
785
00:43:58,250 --> 00:43:58,970
You know what?
786
00:43:59,130 --> 00:44:03,434
Just like SK said on the show with us last
week, with the fate of the universe on the
787
00:44:03,434 --> 00:44:06,234
line, I I want Carson Wentz.
788
00:44:06,234 --> 00:44:11,355
And we just roll it out there and take take
what's given to us and really put it on the
789
00:44:11,355 --> 00:44:11,674
line.
790
00:44:11,674 --> 00:44:12,795
But we'll see.
791
00:44:12,795 --> 00:44:14,795
I'm excited to see Kyler out there.
792
00:44:14,954 --> 00:44:20,920
I hope that maybe some of the nerves that were
evident starting out, you know, border battle
793
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:26,119
to start the game at home, the the energy
inside the US Bank Stadium was absolutely
794
00:44:26,119 --> 00:44:27,000
bananas.
795
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,199
Now you're going out.
796
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:33,614
He's able to play on the road down in Tampa
Bay, a place where he's played before, you
797
00:44:33,614 --> 00:44:38,974
know, obviously, in a in a different colored
jersey, but to to not feel the pressure of that
798
00:44:38,974 --> 00:44:40,014
home crowd as well.
799
00:44:40,014 --> 00:44:44,175
I know that we can be behind you, but that
comes with some added stakes as well.
800
00:44:44,175 --> 00:44:48,894
And I think this is a great opportunity for
Kyler to just go out there and play football.
801
00:44:50,329 --> 00:44:50,650
No.
802
00:44:50,650 --> 00:44:51,690
I think chime in.
803
00:44:51,690 --> 00:44:54,090
I think I I really think you're right.
804
00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:59,769
I think that first game, you know, be it at
home at the busy arrival, we're looking for a
805
00:44:59,769 --> 00:45:00,010
lot.
806
00:45:00,010 --> 00:45:01,130
We're all hyped up.
807
00:45:01,130 --> 00:45:03,344
I mean, you saw it at the pregame show.
808
00:45:03,344 --> 00:45:05,505
You saw it after the game, during the game.
809
00:45:05,664 --> 00:45:09,664
You know, Bubba, you're in the in in the
stadium, so you definitely saw it.
810
00:45:09,744 --> 00:45:16,065
But now that he's on the road outside kind of
the same weather conditions that maybe Arizona
811
00:45:16,065 --> 00:45:22,119
would have at this time of year, So it might be
a little bit less it might be more less calm
812
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:25,000
for him and and ready to, rock and roll.
813
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:27,880
Go ahead, Selly.
814
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:28,599
Chime in.
815
00:45:30,279 --> 00:45:30,599
No.
816
00:45:30,599 --> 00:45:31,319
I agree.
817
00:45:31,319 --> 00:45:34,255
I I just think I think Tyler's gonna be pretty
good.
818
00:45:34,255 --> 00:45:35,614
I I just believe in him.
819
00:45:35,614 --> 00:45:38,255
I don't believe he's been as bad as people has
been saying.
820
00:45:38,735 --> 00:45:44,335
I I I honestly think he's, like, a top half of
the league QB, and I I really do think he's
821
00:45:44,335 --> 00:45:45,135
gonna get it done.
822
00:45:45,530 --> 00:45:46,730
He's got a great coach.
823
00:45:46,730 --> 00:45:51,610
He's got a he has one of the best offensive
players in the league in Justin Jefferson.
824
00:45:51,769 --> 00:45:54,089
Honestly, if all else fails, just throw it to
18.
825
00:45:54,089 --> 00:45:55,050
You'll be okay.
826
00:45:55,289 --> 00:45:55,530
Like
827
00:45:56,250 --> 00:46:00,329
Well and nobody's gonna get on your case about
throwing it up that way.
828
00:46:00,409 --> 00:46:00,730
Right?
829
00:46:01,425 --> 00:46:07,184
You know, for me, players to watch and players
that I'm expecting a lot out of moving into
830
00:46:07,184 --> 00:46:09,585
this week, lot of talk about Jordan Addison.
831
00:46:09,664 --> 00:46:13,425
I'm pretty over the the the player that is
Jordan Addison.
832
00:46:13,425 --> 00:46:16,385
I know KOC glazed him a little bit for his
blocking this week.
833
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,880
I didn't see that, but I'm not watching the
tape and the all 22.
834
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,280
I think he's soft off the line of scrimmage and
co the players know it.
835
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:27,760
So he's just getting jammed up at the line.
836
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:36,485
And unless KOC is gonna be more adamant about
moving him around, he that we will get that,
837
00:46:36,804 --> 00:46:39,285
you know, Jordan Addison going in any way.
838
00:46:39,445 --> 00:46:42,405
I just I'm kind of over watching him play
football.
839
00:46:43,569 --> 00:46:47,010
I'm hoping that we make some moves at wide
receiver in the future.
840
00:46:47,010 --> 00:46:48,530
Love the Juwan Jennings signing.
841
00:46:48,530 --> 00:46:54,369
Obviously, he was out last week or, you know,
on on Sunday due to personal reasons.
842
00:46:54,369 --> 00:46:58,815
We hope that, obviously, he's coming back this
week just because of the dynamic that he has,
843
00:46:58,815 --> 00:47:01,534
not necessarily in the passing game, but in the
running game too.
844
00:47:01,534 --> 00:47:06,815
And I think as time goes on and relationships
are built on the offensive side of the ball,
845
00:47:06,894 --> 00:47:12,414
that he can be a threat in especially short
yardage situations with this passing game as
846
00:47:12,414 --> 00:47:12,494
well.
847
00:47:13,110 --> 00:47:14,550
Gary, you know what?
848
00:47:14,550 --> 00:47:16,869
We'll we'll we'll never we'll never know.
849
00:47:17,430 --> 00:47:20,869
I got a couple in the media assets on here.
850
00:47:20,869 --> 00:47:24,309
Maybe I'll play one for you before we shut the
stream down today.
851
00:47:26,234 --> 00:47:26,634
Yeah.
852
00:47:26,634 --> 00:47:26,954
No.
853
00:47:26,954 --> 00:47:31,994
Just looking at, you know, Kyler Murray's stats
a little bit closer, you know, because Sal
854
00:47:31,994 --> 00:47:34,954
said, you know, he still feels that he's done
decent.
855
00:47:34,954 --> 00:47:43,250
I mean, quarterback completion rated over 65
every year It's, you know, going into this
856
00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:43,730
year.
857
00:47:44,130 --> 00:47:52,369
He's had one, two, three, four four years of
throwing almost 4,000 yards, just a little bit
858
00:47:52,369 --> 00:47:52,690
short.
859
00:47:53,914 --> 00:47:59,035
So if he stays healthy, plays fourteen, sixteen
games, we got a decent quarterback there.
860
00:47:59,434 --> 00:47:59,755
You know?
861
00:47:59,755 --> 00:48:04,554
And that's what receivers that I mean, yeah,
you can name a couple of them, but nothing like
862
00:48:04,554 --> 00:48:05,675
what he has here.
863
00:48:05,675 --> 00:48:08,559
So he dove and he doesn't turn over the ball
much.
864
00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:14,320
I mean, 12 interceptions is the most he's
throwing, and that was early in his career.
865
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,119
And, you know, so no.
866
00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:20,735
He's definitely a guy that has talent.
867
00:48:23,055 --> 00:48:23,454
Yeah.
868
00:48:23,454 --> 00:48:29,215
And I I think just the dynamic athlete that he
is, adds something in there, and we're gonna
869
00:48:29,215 --> 00:48:36,519
get to see a lot of, a lot more of the offense
this week, obviously, than we did, Sunday
870
00:48:36,519 --> 00:48:37,559
against the bears.
871
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:39,079
They knew it was gonna be a mess.
872
00:48:39,159 --> 00:48:40,840
KOC designed a game plan.
873
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,880
It seemed like that just played into that, said
we're not gonna put our guys in a situation to
874
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:46,440
fail.
875
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:53,224
And, now knowing that the weather's gonna be
better, knowing that this Tampa Bay defense is
876
00:48:53,224 --> 00:48:58,344
giving up a lot, I wanna see how much the you
know, maybe not the entire philosophy changes.
877
00:48:58,344 --> 00:49:03,710
I still wanna see them run the ball plenty, but
are we gonna take some chances down the field?
878
00:49:03,710 --> 00:49:07,869
Are we gonna try to create something more in
the pass game, really get this passing attack
879
00:49:07,869 --> 00:49:13,630
going, knowing that Todd Bowles is going to
blitz more than what we saw against the bears
880
00:49:13,630 --> 00:49:15,630
or the packers either one?
881
00:49:15,869 --> 00:49:20,974
And let let Kyler play a little bit of
quarterback and being able even if it's not
882
00:49:20,974 --> 00:49:26,894
deep shots to be able to go and to throw some
of these short routes that end up going.
883
00:49:26,894 --> 00:49:27,135
Right?
884
00:49:27,135 --> 00:49:32,929
Hitting Addison on a short crosser that turns
into yards after catch, hitting a Jawan
885
00:49:32,929 --> 00:49:35,329
Jennings over the middle of the field or a
Hawkinson.
886
00:49:35,329 --> 00:49:40,769
Josh Oliver getting a lot more involved this
year as we as we go through.
887
00:49:40,769 --> 00:49:45,815
So, b, what do you think is gonna be the final
outcome of this game?
888
00:49:45,815 --> 00:49:47,494
We'll get a little predictions in here.
889
00:49:47,494 --> 00:49:50,375
Gary's throwing it out there and throwing the
questions.
890
00:49:50,375 --> 00:49:53,335
So not only to the chat, but to matter.
891
00:49:54,295 --> 00:49:55,894
But to everybody as well.
892
00:49:56,375 --> 00:50:02,630
Again, barring injuries and looking at the
stats, looking how the Vikings played week one
893
00:50:02,630 --> 00:50:07,750
against the division rival, you know, look how
the defense looked at game two against the
894
00:50:07,750 --> 00:50:09,909
division rival, now you're going outside.
895
00:50:11,269 --> 00:50:14,630
You know, I think I've I'm I'm not scared.
896
00:50:14,710 --> 00:50:24,565
I mean, like Gary is, but I I I haven't feel
we're gonna see, you know, 28, 17 Vikings w on
897
00:50:24,565 --> 00:50:25,045
this one.
898
00:50:25,045 --> 00:50:28,900
I think I think we're gonna see I think South
Island something.
899
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:34,019
I think Jefferson and maybe Addison are gonna
have a coming out party, and we're gonna see
900
00:50:34,019 --> 00:50:35,539
some big plays with them guys.
901
00:50:37,219 --> 00:50:38,340
Sully, what are your thoughts?
902
00:50:40,324 --> 00:50:44,884
I think you guys are gonna get a a good fight
from the buccaneers because if you believe the
903
00:50:44,884 --> 00:50:50,005
whole o and two to start the season and your
chances of making the playoffs, I think the
904
00:50:50,005 --> 00:50:52,724
buccaneers season might be on the line this
Sunday.
905
00:50:52,724 --> 00:50:55,125
So I think you're gonna get a good game from
them.
906
00:50:55,550 --> 00:50:59,150
However, I still don't believe in their
defense.
907
00:50:59,150 --> 00:51:04,109
And after seeing what I saw last week against
Deshaun Watson and the Browns, I'm gonna go
908
00:51:04,109 --> 00:51:06,429
Vikings 24, bupreniers 21.
909
00:51:10,265 --> 00:51:10,664
Yeah.
910
00:51:10,664 --> 00:51:12,345
And I'm kinda right there around there.
911
00:51:12,345 --> 00:51:16,825
I don't think this offense has shown us enough
to to say that we're gonna score three
912
00:51:16,825 --> 00:51:21,224
touchdowns, but I think you get a couple of
touchdowns and maybe a couple of Will Rykold
913
00:51:21,545 --> 00:51:24,230
Will Rykard field goals in there.
914
00:51:24,230 --> 00:51:27,110
So I think I'm going around this 20 to 17.
915
00:51:27,349 --> 00:51:28,789
Seems fair to me.
916
00:51:28,869 --> 00:51:35,429
Bucks do get a a couple of touchdowns against
this defense, but just not enough to to put
917
00:51:35,429 --> 00:51:36,309
them over the top.
918
00:51:36,309 --> 00:51:41,045
I'm not sure where the lines are at right now,
but I I really think
919
00:51:41,045 --> 00:51:44,324
that by a point and a half, I believe it was.
920
00:51:44,405 --> 00:51:44,804
Right.
921
00:51:44,804 --> 00:51:49,844
So a kind of a pick them game that that the,
you know, the the odds makers are throwing out
922
00:51:49,844 --> 00:51:50,164
there.
923
00:51:50,164 --> 00:51:50,324
So
924
00:51:50,405 --> 00:51:52,164
I'm getting 42 and a half.
925
00:51:52,910 --> 00:51:53,390
So
926
00:51:55,150 --> 00:51:55,550
Yeah.
927
00:51:55,550 --> 00:51:59,710
So I think where everybody's kinda right in
line with that, I'm probably a little bit low
928
00:51:59,710 --> 00:52:00,590
on that.
929
00:52:01,309 --> 00:52:02,510
Gary go.
930
00:52:02,510 --> 00:52:08,605
Gary picking against the Vikings, given the
edge to the buccaneers with a twenty seven
931
00:52:08,605 --> 00:52:09,485
twenty four.
932
00:52:09,724 --> 00:52:15,164
I it's oh, like Barber calling the pick six.
933
00:52:15,164 --> 00:52:16,125
I like that a lot.
934
00:52:16,125 --> 00:52:16,525
Yeah.
935
00:52:16,525 --> 00:52:23,550
The offense right now with Tyler with Kyler
going back under center hasn't shown us enough.
936
00:52:23,710 --> 00:52:30,670
I don't I think that's probably a a little, you
know, three touchdowns for Kyler when he hasn't
937
00:52:30,670 --> 00:52:36,425
thrown, you know, four passes and, you know,
one of those went to the other team so far.
938
00:52:37,144 --> 00:52:40,585
We'll I think we get a couple of touchdowns.
939
00:52:40,664 --> 00:52:45,304
I think if we get anywhere close to the end
zone, you gotta be looking Hawkinson's way
940
00:52:45,304 --> 00:52:45,545
again.
941
00:52:45,860 --> 00:52:50,579
He obviously had the one against Green Bay and
some more there.
942
00:52:50,579 --> 00:52:54,900
So I think you probably get a a Hawkinson maybe
in there.
943
00:52:55,059 --> 00:52:59,885
JJ picks up a lot of yards, maybe doesn't get
himself into the end zone, but you're handing
944
00:52:59,885 --> 00:53:04,925
it off to Aaron Jones to punch one in there at
the end and a couple of field goals.
945
00:53:04,925 --> 00:53:08,125
So I don't think it's gonna be a particularly
high scoring game.
946
00:53:08,364 --> 00:53:12,730
This offense of the Vikings, especially with
Kyler Murray, hasn't shown me enough to put a
947
00:53:12,730 --> 00:53:18,329
lot of confidence into them really stepping out
this week against what I think exactly like you
948
00:53:18,329 --> 00:53:19,289
said, Selly.
949
00:53:19,449 --> 00:53:22,409
A team that, has their back against the wall a
little bit.
950
00:53:22,409 --> 00:53:27,114
I know it's very early in the season and the
stakes aren't necessarily that high, but you
951
00:53:27,114 --> 00:53:31,914
don't drop a game to the Browns and not have
the fan base starting to get up in arms against
952
00:53:31,914 --> 00:53:32,235
that.
953
00:53:32,235 --> 00:53:39,035
And I know the Browns may be improving this
year, but we we definitely need to get out
954
00:53:39,035 --> 00:53:41,594
there and get after the quarterback and
955
00:53:41,594 --> 00:53:42,235
create some.
956
00:53:42,929 --> 00:53:48,289
You know, we all can't forget about the
comments Baker Mayfield made early in the or
957
00:53:48,289 --> 00:53:53,650
late in the off season about his contract
situation and how he wanted out, and he thought
958
00:53:53,650 --> 00:53:56,369
he was gonna get paid like a franchise
quarterback and stuff.
959
00:53:56,369 --> 00:53:59,744
So, you know, and now you start going too.
960
00:53:59,744 --> 00:54:03,744
Well, you see what the bucks, you know, thought
of you or think of you.
961
00:54:03,905 --> 00:54:08,545
You got highly of yourself, and you went out
and dropped two games at once in a round.
962
00:54:08,545 --> 00:54:10,144
So you know?
963
00:54:12,460 --> 00:54:13,099
Awesome.
964
00:54:13,099 --> 00:54:16,780
Well, with that, fellas, I think we can kinda
shut this down.
965
00:54:16,780 --> 00:54:19,739
Sad that we lost Cody to bad Internet tonight.
966
00:54:19,739 --> 00:54:25,244
But, Selly, you were you were a great fill in,
man, and I appreciate you, you know, not
967
00:54:25,244 --> 00:54:29,644
tapping not tapping in with us tonight, but
also Selly, that's my wife Danielle.
968
00:54:29,644 --> 00:54:32,204
You'll be seeing a lot more of her in the
future.
969
00:54:32,684 --> 00:54:36,924
Selly's been cohosting with our partner AJ on
Saturdays.

What a game Sunday.
7
00:01:10,034 --> 00:01:11,715
Did the weather play a factor?
8
00:01:11,715 --> 00:01:14,275
Probably, but those are some of the funniest
games to watch.
9
00:01:14,915 --> 00:01:15,155
Yeah.
10
00:01:15,155 --> 00:01:16,594
You know what else played a factor?
11
00:01:16,594 --> 00:01:18,355
Brian Flores' defense.
12
00:01:18,355 --> 00:01:19,155
Showing up.
13
00:01:19,155 --> 00:01:19,395
Yeah.
14
00:01:19,395 --> 00:01:20,194
Exactly.
15
00:01:20,195 --> 00:01:21,635
And we're two and o.
16
00:01:21,954 --> 00:01:22,915

00:01:24,435 --> 00:01:25,954

Let's go.
22
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:29,930
Skull.
23
00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:31,450
Big deal.
24
00:01:31,450 --> 00:01:32,650
Big deal for all of us.
25
00:01:32,810 --> 00:01:38,810
Wanna bring in a new cohost on the station and
our special guest tonight, my guy, Selly.
26
00:01:38,810 --> 00:01:39,850
What's going on, Selly?
27
00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:40,730
Welcome to the show, brother.
28
00:01:41,495 --> 00:01:42,055
Hi, guys.
29
00:01:42,055 --> 00:01:42,454
What's up?
30
00:01:42,454 --> 00:01:43,734
Thanks for having me today.
31
00:01:43,814 --> 00:01:45,255
What's up, Awesome.
32
00:01:45,255 --> 00:01:45,734
Yeah.
33
00:01:45,734 --> 00:01:47,094
Quick introductions.
34
00:01:47,174 --> 00:01:52,534
Be our cohost and coach Cody, our lead analyst
here on the station, Selly.
35
00:01:52,534 --> 00:01:59,489
New cohost with our guy, AJ, on the penalty
spot talking all things soccer on Saturdays,
36
00:01:59,489 --> 00:02:04,129
but he's also gonna be the host of our new
basketball show that we'll be launching here
37
00:02:04,209 --> 00:02:04,930
very soon.
38
00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:06,689
But the man loves football too.
39
00:02:06,689 --> 00:02:10,544
So I said we gotta get you in Tuesday night,
introduce you to the crew, man.
40
00:02:10,544 --> 00:02:14,865
So thank you, Selly, for being part of the
Scene Project Sports Network and tapping in
41
00:02:14,865 --> 00:02:16,224
with us tonight on the show.
42
00:02:16,705 --> 00:02:17,585
No problem, man.
43
00:02:17,585 --> 00:02:18,385
I love sports.
44
00:02:18,385 --> 00:02:19,985
Like you said, it's an honor to be here.
45
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:21,520
Yeah.
46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,879
Well and I think off the top, let let's get to
know Sully a little bit.
47
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:29,440
We got plenty of time to talk football, but
give us a little give us a brief kinda
48
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:36,000
backstory on you and, you know, why why you
wanted to join the best team in sports here at
49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,719
SPSN.
50
00:02:37,814 --> 00:02:38,215
Yeah.
51
00:02:38,215 --> 00:02:43,495
So ever since I was a kid, my dad got me into
sport when I was young when I was a young kid,
52
00:02:43,495 --> 00:02:48,854
about eight years old, taught me football,
taught me basketball, got me into all this the
53
00:02:48,854 --> 00:02:53,050
sports here in the Northeast area, And it just
launched from there.
54
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:55,610
Loved watching ESPN as a kid.
55
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:57,930
Loved watching first take, Stephen a.
56
00:02:58,169 --> 00:03:00,490
Thought I was gonna be the next Stephen a as a
kid.
57
00:03:01,049 --> 00:03:04,650
Then I went to college as was sport management
major.
58
00:03:05,474 --> 00:03:09,715
Learned every different thing you could learn
at a college from a sport perspective,
59
00:03:10,594 --> 00:03:14,915
coaching, about learning about stadiums, PR.
60
00:03:15,474 --> 00:03:16,115
Mhmm.
61
00:03:16,995 --> 00:03:21,610
Worked at the US Open for a bit for for the
last four years working in the within player
62
00:03:21,610 --> 00:03:23,370
operations back back there.
63
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:24,169
It was really fun.
64
00:03:24,169 --> 00:03:25,450
It was a fun experience.
65
00:03:26,569 --> 00:03:28,009
Then this opportunity came up.
66
00:03:28,009 --> 00:03:33,129
Bubba hit me up one day, and it gave me a
chance to keep my, sport dream alive.
67
00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:34,569
So I'm just glad to be here.
68
00:03:36,104 --> 00:03:36,504
Yeah.
69
00:03:36,504 --> 00:03:41,064
We we are happy to have you, Selly, and
appreciate you tapping in tonight.
70
00:03:41,305 --> 00:03:46,185
Gave you a little bit of homework beforehand,
had you deep dive the bucks for us as we get
71
00:03:46,185 --> 00:03:47,544
farther into the show.
72
00:03:47,544 --> 00:03:53,039
We're definitely gonna talk more about the game
yet to come, but I'm excited to, get with our
73
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:53,519
guys.
74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,560
We didn't have a chance to really talk
postgame, fellas.
75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,039
So, Cody, I'll start with you.
76
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:03,439
What'd you think about the game on Sunday, the
way this team performed?
77
00:04:03,895 --> 00:04:10,375
Obviously, the offense didn't get a lot going,
but that defense looks like it's gonna be, top
78
00:04:10,534 --> 00:04:12,775
top of the list all season long.
79
00:04:13,414 --> 00:04:16,615
Well, I mean, first and foremost, shout out to
Carson Wentz.
80
00:04:16,819 --> 00:04:19,379
All you had to do was manage the game.
81
00:04:19,379 --> 00:04:21,779
You didn't have to be a superstar.
82
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:26,339
You just had to give us a chance to win, and
that's exactly what he did.
83
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:30,595
That that defense, it came to play.
84
00:04:30,675 --> 00:04:31,154
Alright?
85
00:04:31,394 --> 00:04:35,955
Came up with huge, huge plays, turnovers, and
crucial moments.
86
00:04:36,514 --> 00:04:41,394
You know, all around Will Riker, he's gotta be
offensive m p MVP right now.
87
00:04:42,970 --> 00:04:46,250
He's the only one that can put points on the
board, it seems like, a lot of times.
88
00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:52,970
But, that that's maybe a discussion for, our
our pregame show and the preview show coming up
89
00:04:52,970 --> 00:04:54,009
later this week.
90
00:04:54,009 --> 00:04:59,504
But, I think a key for me is that the defense
this year seems to be coming up with the big
91
00:04:59,504 --> 00:05:01,025
plays and the big moments.
92
00:05:01,105 --> 00:05:03,185
That is something that was lacking last year.
93
00:05:03,185 --> 00:05:08,865
Last year was a lot of bend, don't break, still
had a top 10 scoring defense, but weren't
94
00:05:08,865 --> 00:05:14,449
coming up with the critical turnovers that you
needed to turn the tide of momentum in the
95
00:05:14,449 --> 00:05:15,009
game.
96
00:05:15,009 --> 00:05:16,610
That is not the case this year.
97
00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:21,970
It seems like every time there's a big moment
to be had, this defense is being not just
98
00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:27,274
opportunistic, but but really relishing in that
role as well.
99
00:05:27,274 --> 00:05:34,394
Jalen Redman with the huge punch out, you know,
Byron Murphy junior getting involved early,
100
00:05:34,474 --> 00:05:37,754
getting that turnover on a bad throw by Caleb
Williams.
101
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:40,300
It's just like and Isaiah Rogers, I mean, come
on.
102
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,740
You you gotta give that man a lot of credit,
not only the fumble recovery, huge pass breakup
103
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:47,259
should have been an interception.
104
00:05:47,339 --> 00:05:53,834
I think we're heading towards some rule changes
on on those notes as well, but some great stuff
105
00:05:53,834 --> 00:05:54,154
there.
106
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:56,314
B, how are you feeling on Sunday?
107
00:05:56,875 --> 00:06:00,235
Well, I mean, the defense did what they had to
do.
108
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:09,139
Like coach said, you know, once all you gotta
do is manage the game in a bad weather game, so
109
00:06:09,139 --> 00:06:10,019
that's all he did.
110
00:06:10,019 --> 00:06:15,379
We had great running game by Jones, you know,
great ball protector.
111
00:06:15,379 --> 00:06:22,175
Of course, that defense, you know, lit it up,
and they even gave the bears two extra chances
112
00:06:22,175 --> 00:06:23,214
at the end of the game.
113
00:06:23,214 --> 00:06:26,334
They punch it in, and Dallas Turner said, nope.
114
00:06:26,334 --> 00:06:27,214
Not today.
115
00:06:27,935 --> 00:06:29,854
And, you know, took care of it.
116
00:06:29,854 --> 00:06:37,020
I mean yeah, what what can you say about the
defensive if Rodgers ain't NFL defensive player
117
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:38,139
of the week this week.
118
00:06:38,139 --> 00:06:42,220
I don't know what else he had to do with or or
even Turner.
119
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:47,724
I mean, those guys have just lit up this
defense, and they're playing on a whole new
120
00:06:47,724 --> 00:06:48,764
level this year.
121
00:06:49,324 --> 00:06:54,685
But, b, the grade says that Dallas Turner
doesn't know how to play football.
122
00:06:55,245 --> 00:06:55,724
Yeah.
123
00:06:55,724 --> 00:06:57,884
Well, ask the bears.
124
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:00,540
Yeah.
125
00:07:00,540 --> 00:07:07,660
Ask Caleb Williams and and Tyson Bagent how bad
this man is at the game.
126
00:07:07,819 --> 00:07:13,095
Sallie, did you have a chance to watch the
Vikings game, or were you busy watching the
127
00:07:13,095 --> 00:07:17,574
Jets kinda let one slip away against our hated
rivals, the packers?
128
00:07:18,214 --> 00:07:20,375
I was I've been an eye on both.
129
00:07:20,375 --> 00:07:25,495
Ironically enough, they were both rain games,
so both games offensively weren't great to
130
00:07:25,495 --> 00:07:25,654
watch.
131
00:07:27,210 --> 00:07:27,610
Yeah.
132
00:07:27,610 --> 00:07:29,290
My my just let one slip away.
133
00:07:29,290 --> 00:07:32,009
Some questionable decisions at the end.
134
00:07:33,129 --> 00:07:35,050
Well, shout out to Brian Flores, man.
135
00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:35,930
What a great game.
136
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:41,770
He blitzed Caleb Williams 79% of the time I saw
him, which is unreal.
137
00:07:42,784 --> 00:07:46,464
And then allowing fifty five fifty five points.
138
00:07:46,625 --> 00:07:51,584
The Vikings allowed play.
139
00:07:53,264 --> 00:07:57,980
They gave up only three points, which is the
because the bears had 59 points last week.
140
00:07:57,980 --> 00:08:02,139
I saw it was the second largest deficit from
one week to another.
141
00:08:02,779 --> 00:08:03,500
Yep.
142
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:04,139
Yeah.
143
00:08:04,139 --> 00:08:10,564
And I think we knew here that that that bears
team, even in perfect conditions, were never
144
00:08:10,564 --> 00:08:14,084
gonna drop almost 60 on a Brian Flores defense.
145
00:08:14,084 --> 00:08:15,605
That was never going to happen.
146
00:08:15,925 --> 00:08:19,125
And then you factor in the elements with that
as well.
147
00:08:19,285 --> 00:08:25,524
And the fact that Brian Flores did not back
down on his pressure rate and his willingness
148
00:08:25,699 --> 00:08:28,419
to bring extra guys in that thing.
149
00:08:28,419 --> 00:08:34,419
And I think they did a lot schematically that
kinda gave the bears fits coming with more four
150
00:08:34,419 --> 00:08:40,585
down linemen fronts during the game to really
clog up that interior of the line, not allow
151
00:08:40,585 --> 00:08:45,384
the bears to do what they're very good at,
which is a lot of that inside outside zone
152
00:08:45,384 --> 00:08:52,264
running game mixing it up and usually breaking
those four massive run plays and big explosives
153
00:08:52,264 --> 00:08:53,304
in the run game.
154
00:08:53,304 --> 00:08:59,559
So I think it was a a little bit of, you know,
the pressure, but also the fact that that there
155
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:07,924
was scheme things that Brian Flores is able to
do with the talent on that defensive roster to
156
00:09:07,924 --> 00:09:09,845
really mix things up and to bring in.
157
00:09:09,845 --> 00:09:16,084
And in the middle of that line, two rookies,
Big Citrus and Kayla Banks, showing up on the
158
00:09:16,084 --> 00:09:18,485
stat sheets and showing up making big plays.
159
00:09:18,485 --> 00:09:23,539
I know Banks had a big tackle for loss in
there, and Citrus, I think, is just someone who
160
00:09:23,539 --> 00:09:28,820
can eat up blockers on that line, which is
something this team desperately needed.
161
00:09:31,059 --> 00:09:31,379
No.
162
00:09:31,379 --> 00:09:35,565
Definitely, both of those guys in the middle
because early on in the game, I don't know how
163
00:09:35,565 --> 00:09:39,644
much neither one played early, but it looked
like the bears are gonna eat us up on the
164
00:09:39,644 --> 00:09:40,044
inside.
165
00:09:40,044 --> 00:09:44,125
And I'm just talking to myself while I was at
work, I was like, okay, bikes.
166
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:49,579
You need to put the big guys in the middle or
else we're just gonna not see them change their
167
00:09:49,579 --> 00:09:50,139
game plan.
168
00:09:50,139 --> 00:09:56,139
And they must have did something because that
that middle got clogged up really quick, and I
169
00:09:56,139 --> 00:09:58,220
think it had to do with those two big boys in
the middle.
170
00:09:59,545 --> 00:10:03,065
Well and then it also created mismatches on the
outside.
171
00:10:03,065 --> 00:10:09,384
I mean, how many times did we see Dallas Turner
rushing the quarterback, as a free runner?
172
00:10:09,384 --> 00:10:11,945
Now granted he wasn't able to get to Caleb
Williams.
173
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:16,870
I think if Caleb Williams isn't the player that
he is, he might have been sacked 11 times.
174
00:10:17,029 --> 00:10:17,269
Right?
175
00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:17,509
Yeah.
176
00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:22,149
It it was just insane the amount of pressure
that was going, but there was schematically
177
00:10:22,149 --> 00:10:26,950
something that was going on that you were
getting favorable matchups on your best pass
178
00:10:26,950 --> 00:10:32,865
rusher, our best pass rusher in Dallas Turner,
and no better example than the last play of the
179
00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:38,065
game where you get him matched up on a tight
end coming off that outside, and he just
180
00:10:38,065 --> 00:10:43,769
bullies the tight end right into Tyson Bagent's
lap and then shucks him to the side to grab the
181
00:10:43,769 --> 00:10:47,210
quarterback and toss him down for the game
ending sack.
182
00:10:47,210 --> 00:10:51,049
So I I think we got something special in this
young man.
183
00:10:51,529 --> 00:10:56,934
I think a lot of us forecasted him building on
top of the year that he had last year, playing
184
00:10:56,934 --> 00:11:02,294
in that, you know, more true pass rusher role
that Jonathan Greinhard had played in
185
00:11:02,294 --> 00:11:06,134
previously with this team and now really being
able to show that.
186
00:11:06,134 --> 00:11:11,220
But still dropping back in coverage a couple of
times and had a couple of key plays when he did
187
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:15,059
and didn't look out of place whatsoever in that
position either.
188
00:11:15,059 --> 00:11:20,500
So, yeah, it's hard to not be excited about
what you're seeing from this defense so early
189
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:27,654
on and now giving this team a huge leg up in
the standings, not only sitting atop of the NFC
190
00:11:27,654 --> 00:11:31,495
North at two and o, but two and o in division
play as well.
191
00:11:31,575 --> 00:11:37,495
And, really, I've been putting a lot of fear
into the rest of the league and especially the
192
00:11:37,495 --> 00:11:38,615
NFC North to say, look.
193
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,759
B flow ain't playing this year.
194
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:45,799
And if this offense can just do a little, and
this team can pin its ears back and come after
195
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:51,480
the quarterback, they're gonna be, not only
dangerous, but I think terrifying to a lot of
196
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,600
offensive coordinators.
197
00:11:54,815 --> 00:11:55,134
No.
198
00:11:55,134 --> 00:11:56,654
That that is huge going.
199
00:11:56,654 --> 00:12:01,375
And we talked about before that these first two
games are gonna be huge for the Vikings just
200
00:12:01,375 --> 00:12:03,774
because of the divisional matchups.
201
00:12:03,774 --> 00:12:04,175
You know?
202
00:12:04,175 --> 00:12:09,809
If they went o and two, one zero one, you know,
you kinda put yourself in a hole there, but you
203
00:12:09,809 --> 00:12:15,009
come out two and o, and then you go to Tampa
Bay, and then Miami, and then the safes before
204
00:12:15,009 --> 00:12:15,730
the bye week.
205
00:12:15,730 --> 00:12:17,170
I mean, you're sitting pretty good.
206
00:12:17,170 --> 00:12:21,649
They come out with the lions, you know, a
little bit tougher schedule with the lions.
207
00:12:21,649 --> 00:12:25,894
Well, maybe not tough with the lions, but then
you got the Monday night game with the bills.
208
00:12:26,294 --> 00:12:28,855
So, you know, they're they're looking a little
bit better.
209
00:12:28,855 --> 00:12:33,254
I'm a little bit happier, you know, after
seeing these two games on where the Vikings are
210
00:12:33,254 --> 00:12:34,054
sitting right now.
211
00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:35,670
Yeah.
212
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:40,070
A lot of people glaze in the Lions saying that
they're gonna bounce back and come back.
213
00:12:40,070 --> 00:12:40,389
Look.
214
00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:45,910
I think people are underestimating how
important Ben Johnson was to the success of
215
00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:49,830
that team when they were making those deep
runs, and Dan Campbell doesn't have that.
216
00:12:49,830 --> 00:12:50,149
Right?
217
00:12:50,149 --> 00:12:53,034
So the lions don't scare me at all.
218
00:12:53,115 --> 00:12:57,834
We saw what this team did with Max Brosmer on
Christmas Day last year, and that team did not
219
00:12:57,834 --> 00:13:03,434
improve that much over the off season to to
make me any less afraid of them at that point.
220
00:13:03,434 --> 00:13:03,754
Right?
221
00:13:03,754 --> 00:13:06,154
So lions don't scare me at this point.
222
00:13:06,850 --> 00:13:08,450
Neither do the bears.
223
00:13:08,450 --> 00:13:13,330
I think even though Caleb Williams' injury, not
as severe as it looked like on the field as
224
00:13:13,330 --> 00:13:17,090
he's writhing in pain and crying being carted
off the field.
225
00:13:17,169 --> 00:13:22,465
Lot of talk about that, you know, obviously,
this week across the national media as well,
226
00:13:22,465 --> 00:13:26,384
but I I don't think he's gonna be the same
player.
227
00:13:26,625 --> 00:13:33,049
Even if it's a minor injury to a player that
relies on his legs as much as Caleb does, and
228
00:13:33,049 --> 00:13:35,049
we don't face them until week 18.
229
00:13:35,289 --> 00:13:40,009
The the season might be set and the offseason
set by that point.
230
00:13:40,089 --> 00:13:43,129
He may not even play in that game for one
reason or another.
231
00:13:43,129 --> 00:13:47,804
So the bears at this point had their
opportunities to close the game out.
232
00:13:47,804 --> 00:13:49,164
They couldn't get it done.
233
00:13:49,325 --> 00:13:55,164
The Minnesota Vikings defense, although, the
offense didn't do much either, they did enough.
234
00:13:55,164 --> 00:13:57,964
They did enough to get down into field goal
range.
235
00:13:58,190 --> 00:14:01,870
You let your you let your, you know, all pro
kicker.
236
00:14:01,870 --> 00:14:03,549
I I don't know how he doesn't make the team.
237
00:14:03,549 --> 00:14:08,110
I don't know how he isn't considered the best
kicker in the league at this point with as
238
00:14:08,110 --> 00:14:09,470
consistent as he is.
239
00:14:09,470 --> 00:14:11,389
You know, we had the two missed field goals
last year.
240
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:16,985
One of them hit a damn wire on the thing, and I
think the other one had something similar
241
00:14:16,985 --> 00:14:17,465
happen.
242
00:14:17,465 --> 00:14:17,784
Right?
243
00:14:17,784 --> 00:14:20,264
So, you know, the guy doesn't miss.
244
00:14:20,264 --> 00:14:21,225
He's automatic.
245
00:14:21,225 --> 00:14:26,129
I think he banked it off the upright on purpose
for some extra style points on that.
246
00:14:26,129 --> 00:14:28,689
I think he was trying to create some drama.
247
00:14:28,689 --> 00:14:30,850
That's how good I think this guy is.
248
00:14:31,089 --> 00:14:38,835
And, you know, if the offense can keep this up
and now with Kyler Murray coming back into the
249
00:14:38,835 --> 00:14:40,115
fold on there.
250
00:14:40,115 --> 00:14:40,995
What's up, Henry?
251
00:14:40,995 --> 00:14:42,115
Appreciate you tapping in.
252
00:14:42,115 --> 00:14:45,315
Can this offense now get going?
253
00:14:45,394 --> 00:14:48,995
Weather, not going to be a factor in Tampa Bay
this week.
254
00:14:49,154 --> 00:14:54,319
You're playing against the Tampa Bay team that
has really long balls.
255
00:14:54,319 --> 00:14:55,279
I like that one.
256
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,199
Thanks for tapping in, Skull.
257
00:14:57,199 --> 00:14:58,240
Appreciate you.
258
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:05,360
We have a game here where it's set up for
hopefully Kyler Murray after sitting out and
259
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,884
watching, you know, game one and then, you
know, this game in Chicago to see you don't
260
00:15:11,884 --> 00:15:13,565
need to be Superman here.
261
00:15:13,725 --> 00:15:19,004
You need to be good enough, protect the
football, don't make the bad play, and we can
262
00:15:19,004 --> 00:15:19,644
move forward.
263
00:15:20,139 --> 00:15:25,820
And and I think that's so important when we
talk about, building on top of these two wins
264
00:15:25,820 --> 00:15:31,579
here early and then coming out and doing more
and more as we move on through the season and
265
00:15:31,579 --> 00:15:36,035
hopefully keeping this winning streak alive,
through the bye week and and and, you know,
266
00:15:36,035 --> 00:15:40,195
coming in to that Monday night football game
with a whole bunch of wins stacked under your
267
00:15:40,195 --> 00:15:40,754
belt.
268
00:15:40,754 --> 00:15:45,794
At this point, you're already kinda playing
with house money as the other teams, especially
269
00:15:45,794 --> 00:15:48,595
in the NFC North, are really trying to figure a
bunch of stuff out.
270
00:15:50,269 --> 00:15:55,950
Well and too, I mean, we're still, you know,
vibing from last year where we ended.
271
00:15:55,950 --> 00:15:57,950
I mean, we're one play away from the playoffs.
272
00:15:57,950 --> 00:16:01,709
We went, what, five and o, four and o in the
last few games.
273
00:16:02,195 --> 00:16:06,434
Know, we're just we got that mojo still going
from last year into this year.
274
00:16:06,754 --> 00:16:12,034
And, honestly, I got I I say a lot of it has to
do not just with Florida, but Dallas Turner,
275
00:16:12,034 --> 00:16:16,115
because he started coming on it towards the end
of the last year showing what he can do, and
276
00:16:16,115 --> 00:16:17,154
he's keeping that going.
277
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Well and KOC talked about that a lot at the end
of last year as well.
278
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,960
Even though the playoff, you know, hopes were
dashed pretty early because of where this team
279
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,840
was, it was all about building and stacking for
the future, improving incrementally, and moving
280
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,240
that on.
281
00:16:33,485 --> 00:16:38,764
And going back to last season now, you've won
seven in a row, and you've beaten all of your,
282
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:41,245
your your NFC North opponents.
283
00:16:41,245 --> 00:16:43,165
Some of them you've beaten twice now.
284
00:16:43,404 --> 00:16:49,440
So it's really easy to look at this to be very
positive about where this team is going even
285
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,600
though the offense hasn't really even hit its
stride yet.
286
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,480
Carson had a decent game coming in in relief, I
would say, in in game one.
287
00:16:58,879 --> 00:17:00,480
And then what up, Dave?
288
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,800
My guy, Skull Mafia, in the house.
289
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,759
Appreciate you, brother.
290
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:04,640
Thanks for tapping in.
291
00:17:05,975 --> 00:17:12,535
Even though you have the the offense sputtering
a little bit, obviously, conditions Sunday
292
00:17:12,535 --> 00:17:17,735
absolutely atrocious, I think you're hoping
that this team now with Kyler Murray under
293
00:17:17,735 --> 00:17:22,630
center again can really start to move the ball
down the field, and the offense can put
294
00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:28,309
pressure on opposing defenses as well even if
you are relying right now with the Jordan Mason
295
00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:40,184
injury very heavily on, you know, the the the
older legs of Aaron Jones to carry that
296
00:17:40,184 --> 00:17:40,984
workload.
297
00:17:41,224 --> 00:17:43,144
Selly hit on that a little bit.
298
00:17:43,144 --> 00:17:51,970
How do you feel about someone having a, you
know, a little bit older back there crowd and,
299
00:17:52,289 --> 00:17:57,090
you know, kind of your running back by
committee has now been reduced to really just
300
00:17:57,090 --> 00:17:57,730
one.
301
00:17:57,809 --> 00:18:03,650
DJ Dallas not getting a lot of snaps and, you
know, Damon Claiborne still not really having
302
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:05,575
the trust of this staff.
303
00:18:05,575 --> 00:18:10,694
Do you think this is sustainable for this
Vikings team as they ride out the next couple
304
00:18:10,694 --> 00:18:14,934
of weeks, or do you think that they may have to
go out and and try to find some help in that
305
00:18:14,934 --> 00:18:20,190
running back room knowing that Aaron Jones
senior, definitely on the back end of his
306
00:18:20,190 --> 00:18:21,950
career, still looking effective.
307
00:18:21,950 --> 00:18:26,590
But if he goes down with an injury, which he's
been prone to do, now you're kinda stuck with
308
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:30,430
the DJ Dallas and Damon Claiborne as your
running backs.
309
00:18:30,430 --> 00:18:35,644
Do you think there should be a move there, or
you ride it out here and let Aaron Jones return
310
00:18:35,644 --> 00:18:40,444
to, you know, maybe, 20, what, 13 or 14 when he
entered league?
311
00:18:40,444 --> 00:18:41,884
God, he's been around a long time.
312
00:18:41,964 --> 00:18:42,284
Yeah.
313
00:18:42,284 --> 00:18:43,884
I I think you ride it out.
314
00:18:43,884 --> 00:18:47,999
Maybe you check the waiver wire or check for
free agency for a move.
315
00:18:48,159 --> 00:18:52,880
However, I think Aaron Jones being the vet that
he is can get it done, especially when you got
316
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,559
great receivers on the outside.
317
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,200
You're not gonna really see heavy boxes all the
time.
318
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,684
So I I think just being a great player that he
is already, he should be okay.
319
00:19:01,765 --> 00:19:06,244
And then once you add Kyler with with his
running ability, should be able to even open it
320
00:19:06,244 --> 00:19:09,684
more once, like, Kyler gets more comfortable in
this KOC offense.
321
00:19:09,684 --> 00:19:12,244
So I actually think, like, they'll be okay for
now.
322
00:19:12,325 --> 00:19:16,539
And plus, with this with KOC, with the running
game, I I just think they're gonna there's
323
00:19:16,539 --> 00:19:19,099
gonna be a lot of lanes for him, though, to run
wild.
324
00:19:20,779 --> 00:19:21,100
Yeah.
325
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:27,660
I think we all sure hope that's the case, you
know, getting out of those messy conditions and
326
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:34,664
that fishbowl really without any significant
injuries on this Vikings team.
327
00:19:34,664 --> 00:19:36,984
You have to be pretty happy about that.
328
00:19:36,984 --> 00:19:40,265
It could have been any player on the field that
day.
329
00:19:40,265 --> 00:19:45,599
The the bears had two of their starters, not
just Caleb Williams, but the cornerback Tyreke
330
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:51,279
Stevenson, who I have no love for after the hit
that he laid on helmet to helmet, to Aaron
331
00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:51,919
Jones.
332
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:53,519
We say, yeah.
333
00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:54,720
Skull, me too, man.
334
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,919
I thought that was bad.
335
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,599
It didn't even ring his bell.
336
00:19:57,599 --> 00:19:57,839
Right?
337
00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:01,944
I think he keeps that, chin strap a little
loose to begin with.
338
00:20:01,944 --> 00:20:07,545
You see it pop off during the game quite a bit
in there, but, I mean, that was a a massive
339
00:20:07,545 --> 00:20:07,865
hit.
340
00:20:07,865 --> 00:20:09,704
It was clearly helmet to helmet.
341
00:20:09,704 --> 00:20:12,345
I thought it was gonna get a flag during the
game.
342
00:20:12,424 --> 00:20:14,105
Was very surprised that it didn't.
343
00:20:14,329 --> 00:20:21,210
Although it sounds like now they may be
reviewing the play for a possible, you know,
344
00:20:21,210 --> 00:20:24,250
fine or, you know, I don't know if they're
talking suspicious.
345
00:20:24,250 --> 00:20:30,765
It sounds like they're also reviewing the last
sack too for Turner on a possible five saying
346
00:20:30,765 --> 00:20:32,285
that I don't know.
347
00:20:32,285 --> 00:20:33,085
There's some issues
348
00:20:33,085 --> 00:20:34,524
with Yeah.
349
00:20:34,605 --> 00:20:36,605
B Flow's got plenty of money now.
350
00:20:36,605 --> 00:20:42,525
He can pay that one for DT because I got no
problem with that man ending the game with an
351
00:20:42,525 --> 00:20:43,804
exclamation point there.
352
00:20:44,259 --> 00:20:44,660
Yes.
353
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:46,419
Did he throw him down a little hard?
354
00:20:46,419 --> 00:20:46,740
Yes.
355
00:20:46,740 --> 00:20:50,659
If it's Caleb Williams in there, does the flag
probably come out?
356
00:20:50,980 --> 00:20:56,500
You know, I I I don't think that, you know,
that would have been a surprise to me to see
357
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:56,660
that.
358
00:20:56,974 --> 00:20:58,815
I would have been absolutely disgusted.
359
00:20:58,815 --> 00:21:00,654
I was just just football.
360
00:21:00,654 --> 00:21:08,335
I think just it a juggling from Turner because
they gave the they gave the bears two extra
361
00:21:08,335 --> 00:21:13,630
seconds at five seconds and then one at double
zero to punch it in again.
362
00:21:13,630 --> 00:21:17,789
I think I think Turner just took a pawn himself
and be like, dude, this game's over with.
363
00:21:17,789 --> 00:21:19,470
Let's let's just end it now.
364
00:21:19,470 --> 00:21:19,869
You know?
365
00:21:19,869 --> 00:21:26,614
And and, Bubba, you talked about possibly rule
changes or looking at the role for the Rogers
366
00:21:27,015 --> 00:21:30,134
interception that was not called.
367
00:21:30,454 --> 00:21:35,414
A lot of people are thinking the same thing
that they're gonna look at that because if he
368
00:21:35,414 --> 00:21:39,095
was facing if he was turned around the other
way and catching it like a receiver with his
369
00:21:39,095 --> 00:21:42,289
tip toes in there, it's an interception.
370
00:21:42,849 --> 00:21:46,929
And, you know, so there there is talk that they
might be looking at that again.
371
00:21:48,049 --> 00:21:50,690
But Roger still have himself a heck of a game.
372
00:21:51,330 --> 00:21:51,730
Yeah.
373
00:21:51,730 --> 00:21:56,369
And I kinda glossed over it a little bit early
on that, you know, he also had the massive
374
00:21:56,369 --> 00:22:01,065
blocked field goal that completely changes the
course of that game.
375
00:22:01,384 --> 00:22:01,704
Right?
376
00:22:01,704 --> 00:22:02,025
Yeah.
377
00:22:02,025 --> 00:22:07,704
It would have been to make it nine to three at
that point or nine to six at that point
378
00:22:07,704 --> 00:22:08,904
completely changes things.
379
00:22:08,904 --> 00:22:09,304
Right?
380
00:22:09,384 --> 00:22:13,029
Or would have made it six six, actually, I
think is where we were in the game.
381
00:22:13,029 --> 00:22:13,269
Right?
382
00:22:13,269 --> 00:22:14,150
Ties the game up.
383
00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:15,830
Makes it completely different.
384
00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:21,910
So I really thought that, you know, Isaiah
Rogers, obviously, you know, Turner was a
385
00:22:21,910 --> 00:22:22,869
menace all day.
386
00:22:22,869 --> 00:22:29,525
Hard not to pick him as your MVP, but, you
know, you cannot ignore what Isaiah Rogers
387
00:22:29,525 --> 00:22:32,244
means to this team right now.
388
00:22:32,404 --> 00:22:36,804
And and I think it's not just in the, you know,
the big plays that he's making, but I think
389
00:22:36,804 --> 00:22:41,340
it's some of his tackling on the outside in the
run game that saved a couple of plays as well
390
00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:43,740
and and saved some massive plays from
happening.
391
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:44,299
So
392
00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:47,900
Yeah.
393
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:48,059
No.
394
00:22:48,059 --> 00:22:55,144
And also being You you also can't you also
can't take a look at Cashman because I heard a
395
00:22:55,144 --> 00:23:04,904
stat too that his last four gay or four of his
last 10 games, he's had 10 tackles and, like
396
00:23:05,305 --> 00:23:07,464
and another stat that he's the only player to
do that.
397
00:23:07,464 --> 00:23:10,190
So Casper's also a big part of that defense
too.
398
00:23:10,190 --> 00:23:11,469
So they're all playing together.
399
00:23:11,710 --> 00:23:13,469
Did I mention former Jet?
400
00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:15,549
Couldn't former Jet.
401
00:23:16,109 --> 00:23:16,829
Yeah.
402
00:23:18,269 --> 00:23:20,509
Who couldn't find a roster spot for him?
403
00:23:20,909 --> 00:23:21,789
And look what he's doing.
404
00:23:22,294 --> 00:23:25,894
I think there's well, there's a lot of players,
you know, people that are probably looking at
405
00:23:25,894 --> 00:23:28,775
other places now for roster people.
406
00:23:28,775 --> 00:23:30,775
It's just like, can't keep people healthy.
407
00:23:30,775 --> 00:23:31,894
But yeah.
408
00:23:32,294 --> 00:23:35,815
But it just makes you think, though, there's
you know, like you said, the Jets couldn't hold
409
00:23:35,815 --> 00:23:36,214
on to him.
410
00:23:36,214 --> 00:23:37,174
Couldn't find a roster spot.
411
00:23:37,174 --> 00:23:37,894
Look what he's doing now.
412
00:23:38,450 --> 00:23:40,849
Minnesota seems to be like that all the time
too.
413
00:23:40,849 --> 00:23:42,210
We cut a player.
414
00:23:42,210 --> 00:23:46,690
We remove a player and, you know, don't sign a
guy and he goes off somewhere else.
415
00:23:46,690 --> 00:23:51,329
I mean, you know, a lot of people here are
talking about, like, Danny Jones or, you know,
416
00:23:51,329 --> 00:23:52,289
Sam Darnell.
417
00:23:52,289 --> 00:23:54,565
You know, we didn't want them to look what they
did elsewhere.
418
00:23:54,565 --> 00:23:57,524
So we we feel you on that aspect.
419
00:23:58,404 --> 00:23:58,805
Yeah.
420
00:23:58,805 --> 00:23:59,684
Fair enough.
421
00:24:00,644 --> 00:24:01,684
Papa Gary.
422
00:24:01,525 --> 00:24:03,924
Great point about to avoiding injuries.
423
00:24:03,924 --> 00:24:09,519
Because if you've seen today the news with all
different QBs going down, Jackson Dart might be
424
00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:10,480
out for the season.
425
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,359
Well
426
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,240
Yeah.
427
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,720
Jayden Daniels went down this weekend as well.
428
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:15,519
I don't know what the
429
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:17,599
diagnosis was on the elbow.
430
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,400
That's what I was gonna bring up too.
431
00:24:20,914 --> 00:24:28,355
You know, is the phone ringing in in the, KLC's
office for maybe a small a small trade for, JJ
432
00:24:28,355 --> 00:24:29,075
McCarthy?
433
00:24:29,075 --> 00:24:30,754
I mean, what do you guys think of that?
434
00:24:30,994 --> 00:24:36,960
Up here with the Giants fans up here on the
radio, a lot of them were saying maybe JJ or,
435
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,519
Anthony Richardson, they might get some calls
because you I don't
436
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:39,919
know if you could
437
00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:41,839
ride out a whole season with Jameis.
438
00:24:41,919 --> 00:24:45,519
It's fun television, but if you wanna win, I
don't know if you really wanna do this.
439
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,119
Yeah.
440
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:47,440
Yeah.
441
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,480
And do they wanna win?
442
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:54,815
Is this a great excuse to to take another
season and to come away with a a top pick in a,
443
00:24:55,054 --> 00:24:59,375
what everyone's calling kind of a historically
deep and talented draft?
444
00:24:59,375 --> 00:25:01,294
So, yeah, who knows, man?
445
00:25:01,294 --> 00:25:04,894
That Giants organization, has plenty of their
own problems.
446
00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:10,519
If they want a JJ McCarthy problem, I don't
think there's too many people in Minnesota
447
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:12,519
right now that are gonna fight them on that.
448
00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:14,039
No.
449
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:15,559
I I I don't think so either.
450
00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:17,559
I mean, you know, we all talked about it.
451
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:23,214
You know, maybe JJ just needs to, you know,
step aside or or sit and learn or maybe a new
452
00:25:23,214 --> 00:25:30,335
scenery and, you know, maybe going to New York,
which is a big media place, but he gets
453
00:25:30,335 --> 00:25:32,989
alongside his former coach's brother.
454
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:34,509
So maybe that might help him.
455
00:25:34,509 --> 00:25:38,749
But, you know, it was something I heard today a
couple of different radio stations and
456
00:25:39,309 --> 00:25:42,589
interviews are saying that maybe the Vikings
are getting a call for JJ.
457
00:25:43,484 --> 00:25:49,724
And that's why I never agreed with them trading
him for nothing before, the season started or
458
00:25:49,724 --> 00:25:50,924
cutting him at that.
459
00:25:50,924 --> 00:25:53,085
Like, the guy the man still has value.
460
00:25:53,085 --> 00:25:57,325
He's still a top 40 or 45 quarterback, wherever
you wanna put him in there.
461
00:25:57,325 --> 00:26:02,099
There's a lot of teams that would be happy to
have a young player with some of the traits
462
00:26:02,099 --> 00:26:03,299
that he possesses.
463
00:26:03,299 --> 00:26:06,019
Has he been able to put it all together yet in
the league?
464
00:26:06,019 --> 00:26:06,259
No.
465
00:26:06,259 --> 00:26:06,819
He hasn't.
466
00:26:06,819 --> 00:26:10,819
But there's a ton of coaches I'm sure that are
sitting back and going, we would offer that.
467
00:26:10,819 --> 00:26:13,140
Now you got a few of these guys up against the
ropes.
468
00:26:13,355 --> 00:26:18,154
You may be able to squeeze a fourth or even a a
third round pick depending on how some
469
00:26:18,154 --> 00:26:21,595
desperate someone is where you are never going
to get that preseason.
470
00:26:21,595 --> 00:26:26,555
So, you know, I I always kinda said, just as a
general manager and someone looking at the
471
00:26:26,555 --> 00:26:31,250
whole of the team, not just the talent that's
going out on the field, that that to hang on
472
00:26:31,250 --> 00:26:35,409
him hang on to him right now cost you next to
nothing on a rookie contract.
473
00:26:35,569 --> 00:26:39,730
You might as well stick around there and see
what happens and and see if that value builds
474
00:26:39,730 --> 00:26:45,575
without him having to really do anything but
not go out there and put bad plays on tape.
475
00:26:46,055 --> 00:26:50,055
Well, that and just sit back and learn the
playbook.
476
00:26:50,055 --> 00:26:50,855
Watch the video.
477
00:26:50,855 --> 00:26:51,975
Watch what Kyle and Mary do.
478
00:26:51,975 --> 00:26:53,335
Watch what Tracy wants to do.
479
00:26:53,335 --> 00:26:54,134
Watch the videos.
480
00:26:54,630 --> 00:26:55,990
You know, that's what what
481
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:57,190
Kyle has done so far.
482
00:26:57,190 --> 00:26:57,269
But
483
00:26:57,509 --> 00:26:58,069
Oh, no.
484
00:26:58,069 --> 00:26:59,910
But I'm just saying the practice and stuff.
485
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:00,470
Yeah.
486
00:27:00,549 --> 00:27:04,150
But and that's the thing with Kyle too, and I
think Sal, I think he brought it up.
487
00:27:04,150 --> 00:27:05,909
He just had to sit back and play.
488
00:27:05,910 --> 00:27:06,549
You know?
489
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:10,105
He just had to sit back and not have to put
pressure on himself.
490
00:27:10,105 --> 00:27:12,024
Just let the offense do their thing.
491
00:27:12,345 --> 00:27:14,024
The defense has got their back.
492
00:27:14,105 --> 00:27:15,785
You know, don't go out there and be super mad.
493
00:27:15,785 --> 00:27:17,384
Just go out there and play football.
494
00:27:18,025 --> 00:27:20,105
Kyler has everything presented.
495
00:27:20,105 --> 00:27:22,984
All he has to do is just has JJ on the outside.
496
00:27:22,984 --> 00:27:25,109
He has Addison on the outside.
497
00:27:25,109 --> 00:27:26,150
He has a great line.
498
00:27:26,150 --> 00:27:27,670
He has a great play caller.
499
00:27:27,670 --> 00:27:30,230
He just has to let the offense come to him.
500
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:31,350
Don't force anything.
501
00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:32,710
You're not at Oklahoma anymore.
502
00:27:32,710 --> 00:27:34,390
You're not at Arizona anymore.
503
00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:39,845
Just let your playmate And I think I think this
team can be like it was two years ago,
504
00:27:39,845 --> 00:27:40,484
honestly.
505
00:27:40,644 --> 00:27:42,005
Why can't you be like your seat?
506
00:27:42,005 --> 00:27:42,404
And
507
00:27:43,045 --> 00:27:47,045
the thing is is Kyle is playing for the team he
grew up watching, you know, too.
508
00:27:47,045 --> 00:27:51,444
So go out there and show us that, yeah, that
you could do what we just need you to do is
509
00:27:51,444 --> 00:27:52,325
just manage the game.
510
00:27:54,220 --> 00:27:54,700
Yeah.
511
00:27:54,700 --> 00:28:00,700
Barber says, if we let, McCarthy go, that's Joe
Milton off of Dallas' practice squad.
512
00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:01,099
Right?
513
00:28:01,420 --> 00:28:06,619
You know, there's you open up some options, and
I don't think there was anything, ever wrong
514
00:28:06,619 --> 00:28:10,294
with just kinda hanging out and letting options
present themselves.
515
00:28:10,375 --> 00:28:11,575
Welcome back, coach.
516
00:28:11,654 --> 00:28:13,335
Technical difficulties on your end.
517
00:28:13,335 --> 00:28:14,375
We got them back, though.
518
00:28:14,375 --> 00:28:15,015
Yes, sir.
519
00:28:15,015 --> 00:28:15,414
Yes, sir.
520
00:28:15,414 --> 00:28:16,134
I'm back.
521
00:28:17,015 --> 00:28:20,454
Wanna tell everybody about the live tailgate
party schedule we got.
522
00:28:20,454 --> 00:28:23,789
You can check it out at
tailgate.thesceneprojects.com.
523
00:28:24,029 --> 00:28:30,269
Every home game, we are gonna be live from the
VWO army division tailgate at 903 Washington.
524
00:28:30,269 --> 00:28:32,989
That's right next door to Fathead Bills.
525
00:28:32,990 --> 00:28:35,630
Great, great venue for a party.
526
00:28:35,630 --> 00:28:41,934
Bee and Cody were there all all day on Sunday
for the game opener a few weeks ago.
527
00:28:42,414 --> 00:28:44,734
Cody can vouch for the pickle shots.
528
00:28:44,734 --> 00:28:47,374
If you see them while you're there, they are
excellent.
529
00:28:48,095 --> 00:28:50,174
And you're you're a block from the stadium.
530
00:28:50,174 --> 00:28:53,869
Doesn't get any better as far as the tailgate
experience goes for the home games.
531
00:28:53,869 --> 00:28:57,549
And then away games, we may end up bouncing
around a little bit.
532
00:28:57,549 --> 00:29:02,750
We've had some offers on the table from some
other tailgate and watch parties, but we were
533
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:04,109
at Brewster's last weekend.
534
00:29:04,109 --> 00:29:10,204
Cody, talk to me a little bit about the vibe
down there at Brewster's Bar and Grill for the
535
00:29:10,204 --> 00:29:16,044
game on Sunday while you guys were there doing
our show live pregame and then hanging out
536
00:29:16,044 --> 00:29:16,525
during the game.
537
00:29:17,259 --> 00:29:17,500
Yeah.
538
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:17,900
No.
539
00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:19,099
Vibe was electric.
540
00:29:19,099 --> 00:29:24,539
Everybody was, you know, chomping at the bit,
seeing what we would do against the bears.
541
00:29:24,940 --> 00:29:26,779
Shout out to everybody who stopped out.
542
00:29:27,019 --> 00:29:28,700
It was amazing, honestly.
543
00:29:28,859 --> 00:29:31,904
Didn't get to try those wings, but Kevin did.
544
00:29:31,904 --> 00:29:34,144
So we'll have to get a review on those.
545
00:29:35,345 --> 00:29:37,424
You're darn right we will.
546
00:29:37,664 --> 00:29:43,370
And, we'll we'll get Kevin on, in the future
again, and obviously love having him tap in
547
00:29:43,370 --> 00:29:44,650
with us for the pregame.
548
00:29:44,650 --> 00:29:49,850
Thought he brought some great insights on this
bears team, especially with him being a a bears
549
00:29:49,850 --> 00:29:50,569
fan.
550
00:29:50,730 --> 00:29:55,930
He was worried from Jump Street, and and I
think a lot of bears came in, you know,
551
00:29:55,930 --> 00:30:01,035
especially the fan base came in pretty
overconfident after a 59 performance, but
552
00:30:01,035 --> 00:30:07,755
exactly, what he was worried about, seemed to
come to fruition on Sunday in Sculcherfield.
553
00:30:07,755 --> 00:30:13,599
It was 59 points against a team that, honestly,
I don't think anybody has going to the
554
00:30:13,599 --> 00:30:14,159
playoffs.
555
00:30:14,159 --> 00:30:16,719
And if they do, it's barely squeaking in.
556
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:22,079
So, you know, and, you know, maybe we're
talking about a little bit of a different high
557
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:24,799
score game if the weather weather was perfect,
but it wasn't.
558
00:30:25,454 --> 00:30:26,095
You know?
559
00:30:26,095 --> 00:30:29,294
And and Kevin was concerned from the get go.
560
00:30:29,294 --> 00:30:33,614
He even said that the defense is gonna get to
Caleb, and it's gonna rattle his cage.
561
00:30:35,934 --> 00:30:37,855
And it did exactly that.
562
00:30:38,015 --> 00:30:44,200
Coach, any final thoughts on the bears game
before we move on and look ahead to Tampa Bay
563
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:44,919
this week?
564
00:30:45,159 --> 00:30:45,480
No.
565
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,279
I'm good.
566
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:48,119
It was a it was a good game.
567
00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:51,640
Boys found a way to find a, find a way.
568
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,799
That's what you gotta do in games like that.
569
00:30:55,375 --> 00:30:55,934
Totally.
570
00:30:55,934 --> 00:30:59,934
And I think it's time to kinda put a bow on it
and and move on.
571
00:30:59,934 --> 00:31:06,174
It's nice to be able, to to go out there to to
claim the top of the North, but this team still
572
00:31:06,174 --> 00:31:13,039
has a lot to prove, and that's gonna start
Sunday down in Tampa Bay where the Vikings will
573
00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:15,119
take on the buccaneers.
574
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:17,919
The buccaneers coming off a loss to the browns.
575
00:31:17,919 --> 00:31:20,400
That was a little bit of a weird game, it
seemed like.
576
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,884
I didn't get a chance to really tap in on that.
577
00:31:22,884 --> 00:31:28,805
But, Selly, your thoughts on on the Bucks
performance Sunday in Cleveland before we start
578
00:31:28,805 --> 00:31:31,845
to talk about, the game with the Vikings this
weekend.
579
00:31:32,404 --> 00:31:32,884
Yeah.
580
00:31:32,884 --> 00:31:37,285
Very weird, especially, like, with the weather
delay just to do, like, the the last two
581
00:31:37,285 --> 00:31:37,605
minutes.
582
00:31:38,089 --> 00:31:43,210
But, the brown the browns actually took it to
him on offense, which is very shocking because
583
00:31:43,210 --> 00:31:46,809
a lot of people, I think, thought Deshaun
Watson was playing for his job.
584
00:31:47,369 --> 00:31:51,210
And I I was honestly I think the bucks might be
missing Mike Evans a little bit.
585
00:31:51,835 --> 00:31:54,474
Maybe, there's gonna be a lot of pressure.
586
00:31:55,035 --> 00:31:57,755
There's gonna be a lot of pressure on this
team, especially with Todd Bowles.
587
00:31:57,755 --> 00:32:02,474
He's playing for his he's coaching for his job
and Baker signing the contract.
588
00:32:02,475 --> 00:32:06,730
I I just think there's a lot of there's a lot
of pressure on a lot of people, and people
589
00:32:06,730 --> 00:32:08,169
aren't performing right now.
590
00:32:08,890 --> 00:32:09,769
Yeah.
591
00:32:11,690 --> 00:32:16,090
And I haven't followed the Bucks closely
enough, but, just knowing, you know, losing
592
00:32:16,090 --> 00:32:21,494
Mike Evans, who's been a staple in this league
for over a decade, you know what the man brings
593
00:32:21,494 --> 00:32:22,134
to the table.
594
00:32:22,134 --> 00:32:26,775
Anytime you lose that kind of talent from a
team, there's going to be a drop off.
595
00:32:26,775 --> 00:32:31,654
Now their inability to stop the browns, gives
me a little bit of hope that this Vikings
596
00:32:31,654 --> 00:32:37,009
offense can finally get rolling a little bit
and, you know, moving the ball, especially with
597
00:32:37,009 --> 00:32:40,529
what we've shown in the running game the last
few weeks.
598
00:32:40,930 --> 00:32:44,769
Now moving out there and and Kyler starting at
quarterback.
599
00:32:45,090 --> 00:32:50,275
I'm really hoping that for the Vikings, this
team is a little bit of a get right game for us
600
00:32:50,434 --> 00:32:53,554
playing outside under the sun in Tampa Bay.
601
00:32:54,434 --> 00:32:59,474
Grateful that it's, you know, kind of moving
towards the end of November now and not two
602
00:32:59,474 --> 00:33:04,350
weeks ago when it was probably over a 100
degrees down there and kinda roasting.
603
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:08,750
There's a little bit of time, you know, to to
let that weather cool off a little bit, but
604
00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:13,390
always a tough place to play down there at
Raymond James Stadium down in Tampa Bay.
605
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:15,309
Yeah.
606
00:33:15,309 --> 00:33:19,134
I mean, Deshaun moved the ball against them up
and down the field.
607
00:33:19,134 --> 00:33:22,414
He honestly looked like the old Deshaun, like
the Houston, Texas Deshaun.
608
00:33:22,575 --> 00:33:28,575
So I think Kyler and this offense are gonna
chance to do their thing, especially with going
609
00:33:28,575 --> 00:33:32,255
up against a Brian Flores defense where they're
used to getting blitzed in practice.
610
00:33:32,255 --> 00:33:34,789
So what Todd Bowles loves to do, he blitzes all
the time.
611
00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:36,870
So I don't I don't think it'd be a shock to
them.
612
00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:40,470
And I think, honestly, there's gonna be chance
for chances for a lot of big plays.
613
00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:44,230
B, I'm gonna put it on you.
614
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:49,144
Any, interesting stats, that you might dig up
about this game that you wanna highlight?
615
00:33:49,144 --> 00:33:52,825
I'm gonna kick it to coach right now, get a
couple of his thoughts, but give you a little
616
00:33:52,825 --> 00:33:58,424
bit of homework and and maybe some things for
us to highlight with that Bucks team that we
617
00:33:58,424 --> 00:33:59,544
should be looking at.
618
00:33:59,785 --> 00:34:04,429
Coach, how are you feeling about the Vikings
going down into Florida this week?
619
00:34:04,829 --> 00:34:06,190
I'm fairly confident.
620
00:34:06,750 --> 00:34:07,950
You're you were right.
621
00:34:08,110 --> 00:34:10,590
I think this has to be a get right game.
622
00:34:11,070 --> 00:34:14,590
Kyler Murray's first game back, we don't really
know what we're getting from him.
623
00:34:15,035 --> 00:34:16,954
You know, a small sample size.
624
00:34:17,675 --> 00:34:20,155
Interested to see if we can stick with that
run.
625
00:34:21,275 --> 00:34:26,235
You know, I don't think Aaron Jones can do 20
carries, for a full season.
626
00:34:26,394 --> 00:34:29,539
He's just gonna get worn down, getting up there
in age.
627
00:34:29,940 --> 00:34:36,019
And can this defense continue to keep
quarterbacks just, you know, off their game and
628
00:34:36,019 --> 00:34:36,739
confused?
629
00:34:38,260 --> 00:34:38,579
No.
630
00:34:38,579 --> 00:34:40,420
I I don't think anybody's surprised.
631
00:34:40,659 --> 00:34:48,315
Baker Mayfield is no Caleb Williams, but he is
plenty elusive and plenty tough back there to
632
00:34:48,315 --> 00:34:53,434
be able, to to sustain some of that pressure
and to still make some plays.
633
00:34:53,514 --> 00:34:58,349
Do you think there's any adjustment from Brian
Flores, or do you think this is just what it's
634
00:34:58,349 --> 00:34:58,989
gonna be?
635
00:34:58,989 --> 00:35:02,109
I'm bringing pressure 70% of the time against
you.
636
00:35:02,109 --> 00:35:05,630
I'm gonna bring it from all different areas of
the field.
637
00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:11,025
I'm gonna create matchup problems for you now
being able to put multiple defensive linemen
638
00:35:11,025 --> 00:35:16,704
out there and to change up from the three down
linemen to a four down linemen set and to
639
00:35:16,704 --> 00:35:20,625
completely throw out all plans that you may
have had as an offense?
640
00:35:20,625 --> 00:35:25,639
Or do you think that he starts to slowly dial
back into play a little bit more?
641
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:30,280
I don't wanna say conservative, but dropping
back into pass coverage a little bit more,
642
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:36,324
still showing pressure, but then dropping back,
maybe trying to create more poor decisions by
643
00:35:36,324 --> 00:35:41,445
speeding up that QB time clock and maybe
throwing some passes into areas where you're
644
00:35:41,445 --> 00:35:45,045
not, you know, where you're not safe to throw
the ball.
645
00:35:45,045 --> 00:35:45,684
I
646
00:35:46,005 --> 00:35:47,925
think he continues to send the house.
647
00:35:47,925 --> 00:35:48,244
You know?
648
00:35:48,244 --> 00:35:50,164
They send different looks.
649
00:35:50,164 --> 00:35:54,820
I mean, we're we constantly see different
things from week in and week out.
650
00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:57,780
So, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
651
00:35:57,780 --> 00:36:00,579
I say we continue to go after the quarterbacks.
652
00:36:00,739 --> 00:36:07,434
Like you said, me, Baker Mayfield isn't as
athletic, doesn't have the speed like Caleb
653
00:36:07,434 --> 00:36:10,554
Williams, but he still can move even at his
age.
654
00:36:10,554 --> 00:36:12,635
So, and he's a dog.
655
00:36:12,635 --> 00:36:14,155
Can't put it past him.
656
00:36:16,155 --> 00:36:23,239
Cody, you you were, just, off camera while we
were talking about some of the different fronts
657
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,199
that Flores was bringing, and I gotta shout out
our guy, Dell, you know, been a guest on the
658
00:36:28,199 --> 00:36:30,519
show, and he's definitely a skull brother out
there.
659
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,485
He had kinda pointed out that during the game
in Chicago that we started to run more of a
660
00:36:37,485 --> 00:36:44,764
four four front, meaning four down linemen and
four linebackers in there, leaving you just the
661
00:36:44,764 --> 00:36:45,885
three defensive back.
662
00:36:45,885 --> 00:36:51,679
Now some of that, obviously, conditions playing
into it, but this this player definitely loves
663
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:57,679
it, and we lost coach again, of course, as I'm
trying to get a question out to him.
664
00:36:57,679 --> 00:37:00,159
But, well, I'll ask him when he comes back.
665
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:01,679
B, did you find any stats for us?
666
00:37:02,034 --> 00:37:02,514
Yeah.
667
00:37:02,514 --> 00:37:09,875
So so looking at the Tampa's stats for the last
two weeks, they've given up 28 points.
668
00:37:09,875 --> 00:37:11,715
They've scored 23 points.
669
00:37:12,914 --> 00:37:14,035
Let's see here.
670
00:37:14,275 --> 00:37:16,275
There was one interesting one here.
671
00:37:16,980 --> 00:37:23,300
They've given up, three touchdown passes, so
that kind of their favorite, going to pick.
672
00:37:25,539 --> 00:37:28,019
Baker Mayfield's got sacked seven times.
673
00:37:28,820 --> 00:37:34,195
They sacked, their they've had cussed three
sacks.
674
00:37:35,554 --> 00:37:36,595
Let's see here.
675
00:37:37,155 --> 00:37:39,235
Where was the interesting one I had?
676
00:37:39,315 --> 00:37:45,210
The running game, I think, is gonna be key
because Bucks are there for an average of a 113
677
00:37:45,210 --> 00:37:49,769
yards, I guess, I think it's gonna be key to
the game.
678
00:37:50,090 --> 00:37:53,369
It's definitely we gotta get the ball in our
hands and run it.
679
00:37:55,769 --> 00:37:57,690
They have not had a punt return yet.
680
00:37:57,815 --> 00:38:02,775
The they're so yeah.
681
00:38:02,775 --> 00:38:07,974
So that's kinda interesting too that they have
not had a chance to do a punt return.
682
00:38:07,974 --> 00:38:08,535
So
683
00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:15,510
Or or just don't want to similar to what we saw
out of this Viking team last year after Mile
684
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:24,789
Price's fiasco in into the Green Bay special
teams and the game in Lambo, where after that,
685
00:38:24,789 --> 00:38:26,045
we were just sending guy.
686
00:38:26,045 --> 00:38:27,644
We were fair catching everything.
687
00:38:27,644 --> 00:38:30,845
When you don't trust your return game, it's
easy to do.
688
00:38:31,005 --> 00:38:32,525
One thing that definitely stood
689
00:38:33,644 --> 00:38:37,805
The turnover ratio was minus four, so they got
they
690
00:38:37,805 --> 00:38:38,684
said Well, we like that.
691
00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:39,769
Yeah.
692
00:38:40,969 --> 00:38:46,170
Things that stood out to me, obviously, that
turnover ratio, a big one, but the seven sacks
693
00:38:46,170 --> 00:38:51,289
that they've given up mean that, yeah,
definitely not pulling the foot off the gas by
694
00:38:51,289 --> 00:38:54,170
any means this weekend on the defensive side.
695
00:38:54,515 --> 00:39:00,275
You know Flores is gonna try to get after him
and create maybe seven sacks of his own on
696
00:39:00,275 --> 00:39:06,755
Sunday afternoon and to get after the
quarterback and really disrupt what the Tampa
697
00:39:06,755 --> 00:39:09,474
Bay Buccaneers want to do on offense.
698
00:39:09,769 --> 00:39:11,050
What's been really, really
699
00:39:11,929 --> 00:39:17,449
I do think it sounds like I do think it sounds
right a little bit that they are missing Evans.
700
00:39:17,449 --> 00:39:20,809
I mean, he's been the key to their offense
since he's been there.
701
00:39:21,130 --> 00:39:23,130
You know, he's a thousand yard.
702
00:39:23,130 --> 00:39:28,785
I I don't think he's had it under a thousand
yards in a while, but I just sit there.
703
00:39:28,785 --> 00:39:31,664
Just trying to figure out who's gonna be that
next person.
704
00:39:31,664 --> 00:39:35,824
I just have not figured it out yet, so they're
relying on the run game a little bit more with
705
00:39:35,824 --> 00:39:37,184
Bucky and stuff like that.
706
00:39:37,184 --> 00:39:40,860
So we definitely, you know, put the pressure on
them.
707
00:39:40,860 --> 00:39:43,340
They might be lost without their go to guy.
708
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:51,944
Selly, let's get your thoughts in here about
the about the Bucks and what they're gonna try
709
00:39:51,944 --> 00:39:57,944
to do against this Vikings defense and what
they're gonna try to do on defense against this
710
00:39:57,944 --> 00:39:59,065
Vikings offense.
711
00:39:59,065 --> 00:40:00,505
You can start wherever you want to.
712
00:40:04,420 --> 00:40:09,140
Well, I know Todd Todd Bowles loves to blitz,
so he's definitely gonna he's just like Brian
713
00:40:09,140 --> 00:40:09,539
Flores.
714
00:40:09,539 --> 00:40:10,820
He's gonna blitz a lot.
715
00:40:11,059 --> 00:40:17,219
And I I know big plays whenever you blitz as
much as you as much as the Bucks do, there's
716
00:40:16,445 --> 00:40:17,724
big chances for big plays.
717
00:40:17,724 --> 00:40:19,965
So Justin Jefferson's gonna have one on ones.
718
00:40:20,204 --> 00:40:21,804
Addison's gonna have one on ones.
719
00:40:21,804 --> 00:40:25,644
And I just think Kyler's just gonna have to let
it fly if he sees single high.
720
00:40:26,204 --> 00:40:28,525
They're not gonna play, cover two a lot.
721
00:40:28,525 --> 00:40:33,440
It's just gonna be so I think just, whenever
you have your chances with Jets one on one, you
722
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,480
just gotta let it go.
723
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,359
Let it fly.
724
00:40:37,359 --> 00:40:43,535
I think there's a a lot of people in Minnesota
and Vikings fans around the world that would
725
00:40:43,535 --> 00:40:44,575
love to see that.
726
00:40:44,575 --> 00:40:48,494
We wanna see Jettas getting that ball and
making those big plays.
727
00:40:48,575 --> 00:40:54,894
I think we're really looking for Jordan Addison
to step up this year and to be a factor, which
728
00:40:54,894 --> 00:40:57,614
he just hasn't been in two seasons now.
729
00:40:58,059 --> 00:41:00,380
I I I've kind of said it repeatedly at
730
00:41:00,380 --> 00:41:00,859
this point.
731
00:41:00,859 --> 00:41:01,260
Too.
732
00:41:01,260 --> 00:41:05,980
I mean, he's another one too that you know, I
know we brought him in more for run block as a
733
00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:10,775
receiver, but, you know, definitely gotta get
him involved, Hawkins involved, but, you know,
734
00:41:10,775 --> 00:41:12,055
it sound like you're right.
735
00:41:12,055 --> 00:41:17,815
I think if they see Jenna one on one, you just
throw it up there and let let let them go get
736
00:41:17,815 --> 00:41:18,135
it.
737
00:41:18,135 --> 00:41:18,535
I mean
738
00:41:19,735 --> 00:41:24,375
Which I think is something that, you know,
Carson Wentz was unafraid to do, and,
739
00:41:24,375 --> 00:41:29,220
hopefully, Kyler Murray has kinda been watching
on the sidelines and and soaking that in and
740
00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:33,860
realizing what a special talent that he has out
there, to do it.
741
00:41:34,180 --> 00:41:39,380
I just hope that the throws look better than,
you know, his first one in US Bank Stadium a
742
00:41:39,380 --> 00:41:40,019
few weeks ago.
743
00:41:40,325 --> 00:41:42,325
They don't get much worse than that.
744
00:41:42,565 --> 00:41:43,525
Small sample size.
745
00:41:43,525 --> 00:41:48,085
I'm I'm not trying to hold 11 plays against the
man before he goes out with the injury.
746
00:41:48,405 --> 00:41:53,445
But I think that, you know, Vikings fans have
now seen that there's a clear path to winning
747
00:41:53,739 --> 00:41:58,940
Even if the offense isn't performing at an
explosive level, this defense can win you games
748
00:41:58,940 --> 00:42:01,099
and can continue to win you games.
749
00:42:01,099 --> 00:42:06,534
I think you can win double digit games even
with a a Carson Wentz back there starting, But
750
00:42:06,534 --> 00:42:09,015
that's not the ceiling for this team.
751
00:42:09,255 --> 00:42:11,974
That's not, you know, where this team wants to
go.
752
00:42:11,974 --> 00:42:17,574
We wanna see these explosives, and, obviously,
Kyler Murray gives you the best chance to shake
753
00:42:17,574 --> 00:42:22,090
things up a little bit and to bring something
different to the table, something that, you
754
00:42:22,090 --> 00:42:24,969
know, Kevin O'Connell has never had on offense.
755
00:42:24,969 --> 00:42:30,650
A dynamic athlete back there at the quarterback
position that can hopefully make some plays
756
00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:33,530
with you, not just with their arm, but with
their legs as well.
757
00:42:35,875 --> 00:42:36,275
Yeah.
758
00:42:36,275 --> 00:42:36,594
No.
759
00:42:36,594 --> 00:42:42,275
Definitely, I think, you know, Kyler came to
the best situation that he's probably been in.
760
00:42:42,514 --> 00:42:47,394
KLC's got his quarterback that, you know,
that's athletic.
761
00:42:47,394 --> 00:42:53,750
I mean, it's just it you know, kind of makes it
seem like it's a perfect match, but yet, well,
762
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:54,950
it's out for 11 plays.
763
00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:57,750
So we definitely gotta see what it's like for a
whole game.
764
00:42:58,469 --> 00:43:02,550
And I know if this game was at home and Kyle
was struggling, we'd probably hear some boos
765
00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:08,094
because I think everybody wants to go with the
hot hand and wants to keep it keep it rolling.
766
00:43:08,094 --> 00:43:13,054
So Kyle has got some shoes to fill, and he's
gotta show that he belongs here.
767
00:43:15,054 --> 00:43:15,454
Yeah.
768
00:43:15,454 --> 00:43:21,000
And and I guess I'm not of the mind to you
invested a lot of time and energy into Oh,
769
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:21,160
Oh, yeah.
770
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,800
Building this offense around the skill set of
Kyler Murray and having him out there.
771
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,599
He didn't really get a chance to do much out
there.
772
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:31,320
I I really agree that he should be starting
this week.
773
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,614
If he feels ready and there's no, you know,
lingering effects from the concussion, he's
774
00:43:35,614 --> 00:43:37,055
passed the protocols now.
775
00:43:37,135 --> 00:43:38,015
You gotta get him out there.
776
00:43:38,015 --> 00:43:38,974
You gotta test it.
777
00:43:38,974 --> 00:43:43,054
And I think the time is now while you're
playing with house money a little bit, you
778
00:43:43,054 --> 00:43:45,855
know, with the two and o start, two and o in
the division.
779
00:43:46,015 --> 00:43:46,815
Get out there.
780
00:43:46,815 --> 00:43:51,769
Because if it looks like trash for the next
couple of weeks before the buy, you can pivot
781
00:43:51,769 --> 00:43:52,250
at the buy.
782
00:43:52,250 --> 00:43:53,769
We can say, like, look, Kyler.
783
00:43:53,769 --> 00:43:54,730
It was great.
784
00:43:54,730 --> 00:43:58,250
Maybe you're trading him before the trade
deadline, and you're saying, hey.
785
00:43:58,250 --> 00:43:58,970
You know what?
786
00:43:59,130 --> 00:44:03,434
Just like SK said on the show with us last
week, with the fate of the universe on the
787
00:44:03,434 --> 00:44:06,234
line, I I want Carson Wentz.
788
00:44:06,234 --> 00:44:11,355
And we just roll it out there and take take
what's given to us and really put it on the
789
00:44:11,355 --> 00:44:11,674
line.
790
00:44:11,674 --> 00:44:12,795
But we'll see.
791
00:44:12,795 --> 00:44:14,795
I'm excited to see Kyler out there.
792
00:44:14,954 --> 00:44:20,920
I hope that maybe some of the nerves that were
evident starting out, you know, border battle
793
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:26,119
to start the game at home, the the energy
inside the US Bank Stadium was absolutely
794
00:44:26,119 --> 00:44:27,000
bananas.
795
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,199
Now you're going out.
796
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:33,614
He's able to play on the road down in Tampa
Bay, a place where he's played before, you
797
00:44:33,614 --> 00:44:38,974
know, obviously, in a in a different colored
jersey, but to to not feel the pressure of that
798
00:44:38,974 --> 00:44:40,014
home crowd as well.
799
00:44:40,014 --> 00:44:44,175
I know that we can be behind you, but that
comes with some added stakes as well.
800
00:44:44,175 --> 00:44:48,894
And I think this is a great opportunity for
Kyler to just go out there and play football.
801
00:44:50,329 --> 00:44:50,650
No.
802
00:44:50,650 --> 00:44:51,690
I think chime in.
803
00:44:51,690 --> 00:44:54,090
I think I I really think you're right.
804
00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:59,769
I think that first game, you know, be it at
home at the busy arrival, we're looking for a
805
00:44:59,769 --> 00:45:00,010
lot.
806
00:45:00,010 --> 00:45:01,130
We're all hyped up.
807
00:45:01,130 --> 00:45:03,344
I mean, you saw it at the pregame show.
808
00:45:03,344 --> 00:45:05,505
You saw it after the game, during the game.
809
00:45:05,664 --> 00:45:09,664
You know, Bubba, you're in the in in the
stadium, so you definitely saw it.
810
00:45:09,744 --> 00:45:16,065
But now that he's on the road outside kind of
the same weather conditions that maybe Arizona
811
00:45:16,065 --> 00:45:22,119
would have at this time of year, So it might be
a little bit less it might be more less calm
812
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:25,000
for him and and ready to, rock and roll.
813
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:27,880
Go ahead, Selly.
814
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:28,599
Chime in.
815
00:45:30,279 --> 00:45:30,599
No.
816
00:45:30,599 --> 00:45:31,319
I agree.
817
00:45:31,319 --> 00:45:34,255
I I just think I think Tyler's gonna be pretty
good.
818
00:45:34,255 --> 00:45:35,614
I I just believe in him.
819
00:45:35,614 --> 00:45:38,255
I don't believe he's been as bad as people has
been saying.
820
00:45:38,735 --> 00:45:44,335
I I I honestly think he's, like, a top half of
the league QB, and I I really do think he's
821
00:45:44,335 --> 00:45:45,135
gonna get it done.
822
00:45:45,530 --> 00:45:46,730
He's got a great coach.
823
00:45:46,730 --> 00:45:51,610
He's got a he has one of the best offensive
players in the league in Justin Jefferson.
824
00:45:51,769 --> 00:45:54,089
Honestly, if all else fails, just throw it to
18.
825
00:45:54,089 --> 00:45:55,050
You'll be okay.
826
00:45:55,289 --> 00:45:55,530
Like
827
00:45:56,250 --> 00:46:00,329
Well and nobody's gonna get on your case about
throwing it up that way.
828
00:46:00,409 --> 00:46:00,730
Right?
829
00:46:01,425 --> 00:46:07,184
You know, for me, players to watch and players
that I'm expecting a lot out of moving into
830
00:46:07,184 --> 00:46:09,585
this week, lot of talk about Jordan Addison.
831
00:46:09,664 --> 00:46:13,425
I'm pretty over the the the player that is
Jordan Addison.
832
00:46:13,425 --> 00:46:16,385
I know KOC glazed him a little bit for his
blocking this week.
833
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,880
I didn't see that, but I'm not watching the
tape and the all 22.
834
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,280
I think he's soft off the line of scrimmage and
co the players know it.
835
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:27,760
So he's just getting jammed up at the line.
836
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:36,485
And unless KOC is gonna be more adamant about
moving him around, he that we will get that,
837
00:46:36,804 --> 00:46:39,285
you know, Jordan Addison going in any way.
838
00:46:39,445 --> 00:46:42,405
I just I'm kind of over watching him play
football.
839
00:46:43,569 --> 00:46:47,010
I'm hoping that we make some moves at wide
receiver in the future.
840
00:46:47,010 --> 00:46:48,530
Love the Juwan Jennings signing.
841
00:46:48,530 --> 00:46:54,369
Obviously, he was out last week or, you know,
on on Sunday due to personal reasons.
842
00:46:54,369 --> 00:46:58,815
We hope that, obviously, he's coming back this
week just because of the dynamic that he has,
843
00:46:58,815 --> 00:47:01,534
not necessarily in the passing game, but in the
running game too.
844
00:47:01,534 --> 00:47:06,815
And I think as time goes on and relationships
are built on the offensive side of the ball,
845
00:47:06,894 --> 00:47:12,414
that he can be a threat in especially short
yardage situations with this passing game as
846
00:47:12,414 --> 00:47:12,494
well.
847
00:47:13,110 --> 00:47:14,550
Gary, you know what?
848
00:47:14,550 --> 00:47:16,869
We'll we'll we'll never we'll never know.
849
00:47:17,430 --> 00:47:20,869
I got a couple in the media assets on here.
850
00:47:20,869 --> 00:47:24,309
Maybe I'll play one for you before we shut the
stream down today.
851
00:47:26,234 --> 00:47:26,634
Yeah.
852
00:47:26,634 --> 00:47:26,954
No.
853
00:47:26,954 --> 00:47:31,994
Just looking at, you know, Kyler Murray's stats
a little bit closer, you know, because Sal
854
00:47:31,994 --> 00:47:34,954
said, you know, he still feels that he's done
decent.
855
00:47:34,954 --> 00:47:43,250
I mean, quarterback completion rated over 65
every year It's, you know, going into this
856
00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:43,730
year.
857
00:47:44,130 --> 00:47:52,369
He's had one, two, three, four four years of
throwing almost 4,000 yards, just a little bit
858
00:47:52,369 --> 00:47:52,690
short.
859
00:47:53,914 --> 00:47:59,035
So if he stays healthy, plays fourteen, sixteen
games, we got a decent quarterback there.
860
00:47:59,434 --> 00:47:59,755
You know?
861
00:47:59,755 --> 00:48:04,554
And that's what receivers that I mean, yeah,
you can name a couple of them, but nothing like
862
00:48:04,554 --> 00:48:05,675
what he has here.
863
00:48:05,675 --> 00:48:08,559
So he dove and he doesn't turn over the ball
much.
864
00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:14,320
I mean, 12 interceptions is the most he's
throwing, and that was early in his career.
865
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,119
And, you know, so no.
866
00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:20,735
He's definitely a guy that has talent.
867
00:48:23,055 --> 00:48:23,454
Yeah.
868
00:48:23,454 --> 00:48:29,215
And I I think just the dynamic athlete that he
is, adds something in there, and we're gonna
869
00:48:29,215 --> 00:48:36,519
get to see a lot of, a lot more of the offense
this week, obviously, than we did, Sunday
870
00:48:36,519 --> 00:48:37,559
against the bears.
871
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:39,079
They knew it was gonna be a mess.
872
00:48:39,159 --> 00:48:40,840
KOC designed a game plan.
873
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,880
It seemed like that just played into that, said
we're not gonna put our guys in a situation to
874
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:46,440
fail.
875
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:53,224
And, now knowing that the weather's gonna be
better, knowing that this Tampa Bay defense is
876
00:48:53,224 --> 00:48:58,344
giving up a lot, I wanna see how much the you
know, maybe not the entire philosophy changes.
877
00:48:58,344 --> 00:49:03,710
I still wanna see them run the ball plenty, but
are we gonna take some chances down the field?
878
00:49:03,710 --> 00:49:07,869
Are we gonna try to create something more in
the pass game, really get this passing attack
879
00:49:07,869 --> 00:49:13,630
going, knowing that Todd Bowles is going to
blitz more than what we saw against the bears
880
00:49:13,630 --> 00:49:15,630
or the packers either one?
881
00:49:15,869 --> 00:49:20,974
And let let Kyler play a little bit of
quarterback and being able even if it's not
882
00:49:20,974 --> 00:49:26,894
deep shots to be able to go and to throw some
of these short routes that end up going.
883
00:49:26,894 --> 00:49:27,135
Right?
884
00:49:27,135 --> 00:49:32,929
Hitting Addison on a short crosser that turns
into yards after catch, hitting a Jawan
885
00:49:32,929 --> 00:49:35,329
Jennings over the middle of the field or a
Hawkinson.
886
00:49:35,329 --> 00:49:40,769
Josh Oliver getting a lot more involved this
year as we as we go through.
887
00:49:40,769 --> 00:49:45,815
So, b, what do you think is gonna be the final
outcome of this game?
888
00:49:45,815 --> 00:49:47,494
We'll get a little predictions in here.
889
00:49:47,494 --> 00:49:50,375
Gary's throwing it out there and throwing the
questions.
890
00:49:50,375 --> 00:49:53,335
So not only to the chat, but to matter.
891
00:49:54,295 --> 00:49:55,894
But to everybody as well.
892
00:49:56,375 --> 00:50:02,630
Again, barring injuries and looking at the
stats, looking how the Vikings played week one
893
00:50:02,630 --> 00:50:07,750
against the division rival, you know, look how
the defense looked at game two against the
894
00:50:07,750 --> 00:50:09,909
division rival, now you're going outside.
895
00:50:11,269 --> 00:50:14,630
You know, I think I've I'm I'm not scared.
896
00:50:14,710 --> 00:50:24,565
I mean, like Gary is, but I I I haven't feel
we're gonna see, you know, 28, 17 Vikings w on
897
00:50:24,565 --> 00:50:25,045
this one.
898
00:50:25,045 --> 00:50:28,900
I think I think we're gonna see I think South
Island something.
899
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:34,019
I think Jefferson and maybe Addison are gonna
have a coming out party, and we're gonna see
900
00:50:34,019 --> 00:50:35,539
some big plays with them guys.
901
00:50:37,219 --> 00:50:38,340
Sully, what are your thoughts?
902
00:50:40,324 --> 00:50:44,884
I think you guys are gonna get a a good fight
from the buccaneers because if you believe the
903
00:50:44,884 --> 00:50:50,005
whole o and two to start the season and your
chances of making the playoffs, I think the
904
00:50:50,005 --> 00:50:52,724
buccaneers season might be on the line this
Sunday.
905
00:50:52,724 --> 00:50:55,125
So I think you're gonna get a good game from
them.
906
00:50:55,550 --> 00:50:59,150
However, I still don't believe in their
defense.
907
00:50:59,150 --> 00:51:04,109
And after seeing what I saw last week against
Deshaun Watson and the Browns, I'm gonna go
908
00:51:04,109 --> 00:51:06,429
Vikings 24, bupreniers 21.
909
00:51:10,265 --> 00:51:10,664
Yeah.
910
00:51:10,664 --> 00:51:12,345
And I'm kinda right there around there.
911
00:51:12,345 --> 00:51:16,825
I don't think this offense has shown us enough
to to say that we're gonna score three
912
00:51:16,825 --> 00:51:21,224
touchdowns, but I think you get a couple of
touchdowns and maybe a couple of Will Rykold
913
00:51:21,545 --> 00:51:24,230
Will Rykard field goals in there.
914
00:51:24,230 --> 00:51:27,110
So I think I'm going around this 20 to 17.
915
00:51:27,349 --> 00:51:28,789
Seems fair to me.
916
00:51:28,869 --> 00:51:35,429
Bucks do get a a couple of touchdowns against
this defense, but just not enough to to put
917
00:51:35,429 --> 00:51:36,309
them over the top.
918
00:51:36,309 --> 00:51:41,045
I'm not sure where the lines are at right now,
but I I really think
919
00:51:41,045 --> 00:51:44,324
that by a point and a half, I believe it was.
920
00:51:44,405 --> 00:51:44,804
Right.
921
00:51:44,804 --> 00:51:49,844
So a kind of a pick them game that that the,
you know, the the odds makers are throwing out
922
00:51:49,844 --> 00:51:50,164
there.
923
00:51:50,164 --> 00:51:50,324
So
924
00:51:50,405 --> 00:51:52,164
I'm getting 42 and a half.
925
00:51:52,910 --> 00:51:53,390
So
926
00:51:55,150 --> 00:51:55,550
Yeah.
927
00:51:55,550 --> 00:51:59,710
So I think where everybody's kinda right in
line with that, I'm probably a little bit low
928
00:51:59,710 --> 00:52:00,590
on that.
929
00:52:01,309 --> 00:52:02,510
Gary go.
930
00:52:02,510 --> 00:52:08,605
Gary picking against the Vikings, given the
edge to the buccaneers with a twenty seven
931
00:52:08,605 --> 00:52:09,485
twenty four.
932
00:52:09,724 --> 00:52:15,164
I it's oh, like Barber calling the pick six.
933
00:52:15,164 --> 00:52:16,125
I like that a lot.
934
00:52:16,125 --> 00:52:16,525
Yeah.
935
00:52:16,525 --> 00:52:23,550
The offense right now with Tyler with Kyler
going back under center hasn't shown us enough.
936
00:52:23,710 --> 00:52:30,670
I don't I think that's probably a a little, you
know, three touchdowns for Kyler when he hasn't
937
00:52:30,670 --> 00:52:36,425
thrown, you know, four passes and, you know,
one of those went to the other team so far.
938
00:52:37,144 --> 00:52:40,585
We'll I think we get a couple of touchdowns.
939
00:52:40,664 --> 00:52:45,304
I think if we get anywhere close to the end
zone, you gotta be looking Hawkinson's way
940
00:52:45,304 --> 00:52:45,545
again.
941
00:52:45,860 --> 00:52:50,579
He obviously had the one against Green Bay and
some more there.
942
00:52:50,579 --> 00:52:54,900
So I think you probably get a a Hawkinson maybe
in there.
943
00:52:55,059 --> 00:52:59,885
JJ picks up a lot of yards, maybe doesn't get
himself into the end zone, but you're handing
944
00:52:59,885 --> 00:53:04,925
it off to Aaron Jones to punch one in there at
the end and a couple of field goals.
945
00:53:04,925 --> 00:53:08,125
So I don't think it's gonna be a particularly
high scoring game.
946
00:53:08,364 --> 00:53:12,730
This offense of the Vikings, especially with
Kyler Murray, hasn't shown me enough to put a
947
00:53:12,730 --> 00:53:18,329
lot of confidence into them really stepping out
this week against what I think exactly like you
948
00:53:18,329 --> 00:53:19,289
said, Selly.
949
00:53:19,449 --> 00:53:22,409
A team that, has their back against the wall a
little bit.
950
00:53:22,409 --> 00:53:27,114
I know it's very early in the season and the
stakes aren't necessarily that high, but you
951
00:53:27,114 --> 00:53:31,914
don't drop a game to the Browns and not have
the fan base starting to get up in arms against
952
00:53:31,914 --> 00:53:32,235
that.
953
00:53:32,235 --> 00:53:39,035
And I know the Browns may be improving this
year, but we we definitely need to get out
954
00:53:39,035 --> 00:53:41,594
there and get after the quarterback and
955
00:53:41,594 --> 00:53:42,235
create some.
956
00:53:42,929 --> 00:53:48,289
You know, we all can't forget about the
comments Baker Mayfield made early in the or
957
00:53:48,289 --> 00:53:53,650
late in the off season about his contract
situation and how he wanted out, and he thought
958
00:53:53,650 --> 00:53:56,369
he was gonna get paid like a franchise
quarterback and stuff.
959
00:53:56,369 --> 00:53:59,744
So, you know, and now you start going too.
960
00:53:59,744 --> 00:54:03,744
Well, you see what the bucks, you know, thought
of you or think of you.
961
00:54:03,905 --> 00:54:08,545
You got highly of yourself, and you went out
and dropped two games at once in a round.
962
00:54:08,545 --> 00:54:10,144
So you know?
963
00:54:12,460 --> 00:54:13,099
Awesome.
964
00:54:13,099 --> 00:54:16,780
Well, with that, fellas, I think we can kinda
shut this down.
965
00:54:16,780 --> 00:54:19,739
Sad that we lost Cody to bad Internet tonight.
966
00:54:19,739 --> 00:54:25,244
But, Selly, you were you were a great fill in,
man, and I appreciate you, you know, not

future.

00:55:17,670 --> 00:55:18,309
the season.
989
00:55:18,309 --> 00:55:20,949
I just can't put any more on my plate.
