  Speaker 1: the type of warrior he is. I know he was
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: trying as hard as to get back in the game
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: uh Sunday, but you know he he uh wasn't able to,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we gotta roll with Sam, you know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that's what we have to roll with. But you know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we got the most confidence in both of our quarterbacks
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to where whoever's out there, we're gonna do whatever we
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: can just to make sure they're comfortable, you know, back there,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to try to give us give us the best chance
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to win DK.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: What's it like preparing for a defense that blitz is
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: as much as the Vikings do.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Where you read that where did you read that stat
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: that they blitz a lot.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: In our ESPN database?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: No, they were wrong. They don't blitz a lot. They
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: make it look like they blitz a lot, but they
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: don't blitz a lot. They're probably sixteen seventeenth in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: league and blitz. They play a lot of zone. They're
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: probably thirtieth and man and like the top two to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: three defense end zone. So they play. They disguise it
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to where they look like they're coming in, but they don't.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Is it a case of bringing only bringing four rushers
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: but bringing them from different.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Spots, then yes, or simulated blitzes so they'll drop it
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in and bring bring a linebacker a safety just to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: make it still be four or five rushes at a time.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: How different is that for a receiver when different pieces
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: from the defense are dropping and the zones and stuff,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: then the ones you necessarily expect me, How how do
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: you have to adjust when it's uh an end or
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a de tackle right in.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Ste It's all about angles. Uh So when I if
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I know a a linebacker is uh buzzing out to me,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: uh is different than a d N buzzing out to me. Uh.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: They don't have uh very good spacial awareness cause they're
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: used to rushing the passers. So uh it's all about
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know, finding uh the space behind them. Uh. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like I said, catching the ball and getting up feel exactly?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah he called a pigs, did he?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: You're the numbers at home have been kind of they've
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: been interesting, right, like your road records better at HOLP.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: What would it mean to get the win in front
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of the twelves and just knowing where you are in
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Uh, I mean it would mean a lot, especially with
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: them behind us. Uh we still we still need them
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to come out and uh be supportive. I know it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: was a first quarter, second, second or third play of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: uh the game, and it got crazy loud in there
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and I looked around and there was a lot of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Green Bay fans, so, uh they did a great job traveling,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: but uh, you know, just uh wishing us twelves then
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: sell as many tickets as they uh as they did
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to make sure we we kept the home field advantage.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, man, it mean a lot just to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you know, take take this last one home and uh
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: finish off the season strong so we can uh you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: play play again, uh in front of them in the playoffs.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: We asked you about Jackson last week, but what are
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: some things that you notice He's doing a lot better
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: in year two compared to year one.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I mean he's not doing anything different with just giving
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: them the ball and giving them opportunities to you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: showcase who he is and showcase the type of receiver
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: he is. And I think we should just continue to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: do that cause he's on a great uh you know
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: run right now?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Do you give this off field question? U.
• 3:51

• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to do a Christmas thing with him, and just how
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: important is that for you to to continue that not
• 3:59
