0:00
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Vikings fans, welcome in to another episode
0:03
Speaker 1: of the School Hop. I'm Evan and I'm Austin. Were's
0:05
Speaker 1: a couple of dudes from Iowa. We like drinking beer
0:07
Speaker 1: and talking about the Vikings.
0:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. And the beer we had tonight from
0:11
Speaker 2: Confluence it was pretty good, but it was a little nutty.
0:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree it was good for sure. We
0:18
Speaker 1: also looked at one version of the Vikings projected fifty
0:22
Speaker 1: three man roster for the upcoming season.
0:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it'll be really interesting to see how things
0:27
Speaker 2: shape up between now and August when the game start playing.
0:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, and lastly, we took a look at a Vikings
0:33
Speaker 1: territory article. Dustin Baker, friend of the show, put out
0:37
Speaker 1: a list of four players that could be on the
0:40
Speaker 1: verge of a breakout. We maybe agreed and or disagreed
0:44
Speaker 1: with some of his thoughts in that article.
0:46
Speaker 2: It was a lot of good talkers, a lot of fun.
0:48
Speaker 2: But that all sounds interesting. Go ahead and grab a
0:51
Speaker 2: cold one and join us for episode one of the
0:54
Speaker 2: School Hot School.
1:28
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna give just a quick shout out
1:30
Speaker 1: to our friends that that's badass. What art they made?

2:01
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, all right, ev we have a little interesting
2:05
Speaker 2: beer here.
2:06
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by this. I'm intrigued.
2:09
Speaker 2: I did pick it up tonight at our favorite Devil's
2:11
Speaker 2: Glenn Ivey, and our regular listener who I always talked
2:16
Speaker 2: to wasn't working tonight. It was different another guy that
2:19
Speaker 2: I talked to, but a different guy. But anyways, we
2:21
Speaker 2: have a beer from Confluence Brewing Company out of Des Moines.
2:26
Speaker 2: We visited there. We did the brew hop one point
2:30
Speaker 2: zero twenty twenty four. Yes, and that's that's a good one.
2:34
Speaker 2: I've been there a couple of times. It's I like
2:36
Speaker 2: their beers. This one I've never had before, though it's
2:39
Speaker 2: called Little Green Men.
2:42
Speaker 1: I think it's fairly new because I haven't seen this one.
2:44
Speaker 1: Yeah when I've been shopping.
2:46
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, it's Little Green Men. A pistachio cream ale.
2:51
Speaker 2: There's kind of a paragraph you think I should read
2:53
Speaker 2: it or.
2:53
Speaker 1: Just kind of like a little like like a narrative. Almost, Yeah,
2:57
Speaker 1: let's go. So what this looks like in the glass?
3:01
Speaker 2: This says, we interrupt your regularly scheduled program. Reports are
3:05
Speaker 2: flooding in of an unusual landing. Witnesses describe small green
3:09
Speaker 2: figures shaped like sentient pistachio nuts, descending upon our world.
3:14
Speaker 2: Their intent is unknown, but reports all agree they become.
3:18
Speaker 2: They come bearing gifts. Citizens are urged to remain calm
3:22
Speaker 2: and imbide responsibly. This pistaschio cream ale they bring is
3:27
Speaker 2: light in body, yet carries a surprisingly creamy sweetness and
3:31
Speaker 2: gentle nuttiness that many describe as out of this world.
3:35
Speaker 2: Authorities confirm that resistance is futile, but submission is delightfully delicious.
3:41
Speaker 1: You forgot the last part.
3:43
Speaker 2: How we return you now to your regularly scheduled broadcast,
3:46
Speaker 2: And if you're lucky with Little Green Men by.
3:48
Speaker 1: Your side, well back to our broadcast here.
3:51
Speaker 2: Whoever wrote that? That's fun. I like when there's any
3:54
Speaker 2: kind of a description. But that was a little creative.
3:57
Speaker 1: It was nice while you thought that it was going
3:59
Speaker 1: to be green, I report it. It is not green.
4:02
Speaker 1: It looks it's just a nice golden beer and it's
4:05
Speaker 1: kind of a good little foamy head on it. And
4:08
Speaker 1: I can smell the pistachios.
4:10
Speaker 2: Okay, Like if you are you a fan of pistasia.
4:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love pistachios. Yeah, they're good. And I don't
4:15
Speaker 1: have a nut allergy, so that's a good thing, you know.
4:17
Speaker 2: That's I probably should have asked, you know, if you
4:19
Speaker 2: had added nut out, we wouldn't friends long enough. I
4:22
Speaker 2: would have known.
4:22
Speaker 1: I wonder maybe there's a viewer out there, like, if
4:25
Speaker 1: you have a nut allergy, can you drink a beer
4:27
Speaker 1: that has nut flavor in it? Like a good question.
4:31
Speaker 2: I would tell you to ask Gemini, but I don't
4:34
Speaker 2: trust whatever they say.
4:36
Speaker 1: I'll trust I'll trust somebody with real world experience, not
4:40
Speaker 1: an AI bot out there.
4:43
Speaker 2: I'm going to say about the color of this beer.
4:44
Speaker 2: I thought it'd be green too, but it's actually really clear.
4:47
Speaker 2: It's golden brown, and it reminds me a lot of
4:50
Speaker 2: the beer we had last week, the the the Rice,
4:55
Speaker 2: the Rice Lagger, Yeah, from Adventures Adventurous. Yeah, the I'm
5:00
Speaker 2: not even gonna try to say what it was. It
5:02
Speaker 2: starts with a bee, but yeah, the color of this
5:05
Speaker 2: looks nice, refreshing. It's a six point five percent beer,
5:10
Speaker 2: packs a little punch. Yeah, and as you can tell,
5:13
Speaker 2: I've got about three inches of foam here to work with,
5:16
Speaker 2: but we'll get it done.
5:17
Speaker 1: So skull skull. That's really good.
5:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nice. The pistaschio flavor is definitely there, and
5:32
Speaker 2: definitely the after flavor really heightens that up too. But
5:37
Speaker 2: it's not like like it's pretty prevalent flavor, but it's
5:41
Speaker 2: not bad, it doesn't.
5:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so this kind of reminds me of a
5:46
Speaker 1: It was a single speed beer and I think they
5:48
Speaker 1: still make it. It's called the Tricycle. It's their cream Ale, okay,
5:52
Speaker 1: And I love that beer. And when we lived up there,
5:57
Speaker 1: I don't think they sell that here. I think they've
5:59
Speaker 1: got other single speed beers in cans, but they sold
6:02
Speaker 1: it in cans up in the Waterloo area and I
6:05
Speaker 1: would get that quite often at the store. It was really,
6:08
Speaker 1: really good one of my favorites and this reminds me
6:10
Speaker 1: of that. So I like it. Good stuff, nicely done, Confluence.
6:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I feel like it. Just the taste doesn't
6:17
Speaker 2: match the color, like I would not think that it
6:20
Speaker 2: would taste like this just by looking at the spear.
6:22
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's really good. I like it a lot.
6:24
Speaker 2: I'm glad we got it and tried it. Only like
6:28
Speaker 2: one percent disappointed it's not green.
6:31
Speaker 1: Well, we're Vikings fans, so we can't celebrate the color green.
6:35
Speaker 1: We can't have too much green in this area. This
6:37
Speaker 1: needs to be purple.
6:39
Speaker 2: Well, good job, Confluence. Excited to give my full opinions
6:43
Speaker 2: here later.
6:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I went shopping the other day and I
6:48
Speaker 1: found a little something that i'd like to have you unwrap.
6:52
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, and I'm a little scared here.
6:56
Speaker 1: There's not much. You don't have to be scared. It's
6:59
Speaker 1: all good. And I didn't pay super a super ridiculous
7:03
Speaker 1: amount of money for it. In fact, now that i'm
7:04
Speaker 1: thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I left the sticker
7:06
Speaker 1: on it so you'll see how much I paid for it,
7:08
Speaker 1: which doesn't matter. But this, uh, it's kind of a
7:13
Speaker 1: cool little piece and I kind of want to know
7:16
Speaker 1: if you can identify what episode we may have had.
7:23
Speaker 1: What what you're about to unwrap? It was pretty early
7:28
Speaker 1: on in the skull Hoop history.
7:30
Speaker 2: Okay, there's I mean, this is one hundred and fortieth episode.
7:35
Speaker 1: This goes back a while.
7:37
Speaker 2: What is this?
7:39
Speaker 1: Oh wow, isn't that cool?
7:41
Speaker 2: It's a it's a tap. It is from Reunion Brewery
7:46
Speaker 2: and it's a tap of their Amber Ale, which Evan,
7:48
Speaker 2: you're definitely the Amber guy. This is a really good
7:51
Speaker 2: beer too.
7:51
Speaker 1: We've had that beer on the podcast and I found
7:55
Speaker 1: it when I was shopping this weekend and I'm like, oh,
7:57
Speaker 1: I get that. I'm gonna pick that up. That's cool,
8:00
Speaker 1: is really cool?
8:00
Speaker 2: You did leave the sticker on, and yeah you didn't.
8:04
Speaker 1: There were some other ones there that were real pratzy.
8:08
Speaker 2: This one, I mean, I don't know because I'm pretty
8:11
Speaker 2: sure like the first episode we had two different beers
8:14
Speaker 2: and one was like pseudo Sue.
8:17
Speaker 1: I think you're right, so I don't think it was
8:19
Speaker 1: episode one. It was not one man.
8:22
Speaker 2: We definitely this is one that we may have tried
8:25
Speaker 2: because we also visited Reunion Brewery on the brew Hop
8:29
Speaker 2: one point zero? Was it the brew Hop episode No, no,
8:33
Speaker 2: all right, I me trying to to figure it out
8:37
Speaker 2: anymore would just take a lot of time. So which
8:39
Speaker 2: which episode?
8:39
Speaker 1: It was? Episode two? Okay, actually technically episode three, because
8:45
Speaker 1: we have one that was unreleased and that was the
8:49
Speaker 1: two and that was a single speed that was like
8:52
Speaker 1: a gable and a victory dance. And then episode one
8:55
Speaker 1: that was released was the West Eddie from Big Grove.
8:59
Speaker 1: This on episode two, third total episode, but second released episode.
9:05
Speaker 1: So I know we didn't have it on the tap,
9:07
Speaker 1: but I was. It was there's this little shop in
9:09
Speaker 1: Leclair and they had just like a big shelf with
9:13
Speaker 1: a bunch of different compartments and they were all beer taps.
9:16
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm gonna try to find one that
9:18
Speaker 1: we've had before, and I found this one, and I'm like,
9:20
Speaker 1: we've had that one before.
9:21
Speaker 2: There are others that we've had before.
9:23
Speaker 1: Not that I could find, but there was like there
9:26
Speaker 1: were like your typical like Budweiser and Miller LIGHTE and
9:30
Speaker 1: Cores Light and like just your your typical domestics and
9:33
Speaker 1: your pretty popular ones. There are also some pretty ornate
9:35
Speaker 1: ones like uh, I don't know if you've ever heard
9:38
Speaker 1: of like old latrobe. That's like, I'm pretty sure that's
9:42
Speaker 1: a Saint Louis area thing. We were talking about Saint
9:45
Speaker 1: Louis a little bit ago and some other ones. Some
9:49
Speaker 1: of them are made out of acrylic. Yeah, this one's
9:53
Speaker 1: wood or like fake wood and this there's nothing super
9:59
Speaker 1: fancy about this. It's cool though, pretty just you know,
10:02
Speaker 1: straightforward beer tap. But no I saw it and I
10:05
Speaker 1: was like, I'm getting that because we've had it and
10:07
Speaker 1: it was episode two.
10:09
Speaker 2: And it's definitely it's got some cool character to it,
10:13
Speaker 2: like it's then used you can tell them. I don't
10:16
Speaker 2: think that's.
10:16
Speaker 1: Cool, like a little chipped in a little This.
10:19
Speaker 2: Was somewhere like I don't know. It may not have
10:21
Speaker 2: been in the Reunion Brewery, but it was at an
10:25
Speaker 2: establishment at one point and was used to pour hundreds
10:29
Speaker 2: of beers. That's really cool. I like that a lot.
10:32
Speaker 2: It'd be really cool and probably like not a good
10:37
Speaker 2: idea to have all because what are we at different
10:40
Speaker 2: beers wise, more more than one hundred and forty individual
10:43
Speaker 2: beers way over we've doubled up sometimes on a beer
10:47
Speaker 2: we'll have on multiple different episodes, you know, But we've
10:50
Speaker 2: definitely had episodes where we've each had a different beer.
10:55
Speaker 2: The brew Hop episodes alone each have ten plus beers
10:58
Speaker 2: that we've had on their episodes. But it would be cool,
11:02
Speaker 2: excuse me, cool to have like the taps of all.
11:05
Speaker 1: Of the thing that would be cool. I don't know
11:06
Speaker 1: that that'll ever be a reality. No, it would be
11:09
Speaker 1: super hard to track them all down. But there's a
11:12
Speaker 1: whole like culture of beer drinkers that people collect their
11:16
Speaker 1: favorite beer taps. Yep, yeah, it's it's cool, and it's
11:21
Speaker 1: probably something I have a little bit of an addictive personality.
11:25
Speaker 1: It's one that if I started collecting a couple of
11:28
Speaker 1: these taps, they would just overtake my house and I
11:30
Speaker 1: would have hundreds and hundreds of taps. So I should
11:34
Speaker 1: probably know that about myself and keep from doing that.
11:38
Speaker 1: But they are pretty cool. Well, we have one for now,
11:41
Speaker 1: and we can find a spot here on the set
11:44
Speaker 1: somewhere and make it a part of our little show here.
11:47
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and maybe you know, if we happen upon other
11:50
Speaker 2: ones in the future of like, oh, yeah, we loved
11:53
Speaker 2: this beer on the show, we can pick it up.
11:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I figured too, like we do a lot.
11:57
Speaker 1: We have a lot of Viking stuff here and obviously
12:00
Speaker 1: we talk about the Vikings, but we don't have a
12:02
Speaker 1: lot of beer stuff. Yeah, so I was like, we
12:04
Speaker 1: need some more beer stuff in this place. Yeah.
12:06
Speaker 2: Well that's pretty cool, lev thank you forgetting that for
12:08
Speaker 2: the set. And yeah, that's a fun talker there.
12:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was pretty excited to find it. We'll keep
12:13
Speaker 1: it up here for today. We'll try not to knock
12:15
Speaker 1: it over.
12:16
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna knock it over by accident, but oh well, Evan,
12:21
Speaker 2: you mentioned a little bit ago we are a Vikings podcast.
12:25
Speaker 2: We are, and we have successfully not talked about the
12:28
Speaker 2: Vikings for what fifteen minutes here. I think it's time
12:31
Speaker 2: we got to dive in. It's a very quiet time
12:34
Speaker 2: of year. I'm sure some of our least consumed episodes
12:40
Speaker 2: have been in the May through July timeframe of this
12:44
Speaker 2: time that we've been doing the podcast. But there's always
12:47
Speaker 2: stuff to talk about. And I had an idea at
12:52
Speaker 2: this moment, May twenty fifth, twenty twenty six, I wonder
12:57
Speaker 2: how many positions starting positions are already locked up for
13:04
Speaker 2: the Vikings as of you know, we could fast forward
13:07
Speaker 2: to week one and we know this person is starting
13:12
Speaker 2: this position barring injury. You know through the off season
13:15
Speaker 2: or anything. We just know the starter here, and I
13:19
Speaker 2: thought it'd be fun thing for us to talk about
13:20
Speaker 2: and maybe give differing opinions on who those guys may be,
13:24
Speaker 2: what those positions may look like.
13:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think maybe to start having that conversation
13:29
Speaker 1: that might be helpful too. And we could probably throw
13:33
Speaker 1: this up here on the screen just think through who
13:38
Speaker 1: some of the projected starters will be as we kind
13:42
Speaker 1: of warm up to that conversation. So we'll put up
13:45
Speaker 1: This is from at Sean Borman NFL. He tweeted this out,
13:49
Speaker 1: I think like before last week's episode.
13:52
Speaker 2: Oh, he tweeted this out a while ago actually April twenty.
13:55
Speaker 1: Okay, this was like a month ago after the draft,
13:58
Speaker 1: right after the draft.
13:59
Speaker 2: I think this is more of a reaction to the.
14:01
Speaker 1: Draft, And honestly, there are some things I disagree with it,
14:05
Speaker 1: and we don't necessarily need to like go in depth
14:08
Speaker 1: on it, but maybe we can just like fly through
14:11
Speaker 1: all the positions, list them out, and then we can
14:15
Speaker 1: just talk about what you just posed to me, Like,
14:18
Speaker 1: you know, which groups are kind of set and we
14:21
Speaker 1: know for sure and where might some pieces come in
14:23
Speaker 1: and out, you know, based on what happens in OTA's
14:28
Speaker 1: training cam preseason, that sort of thing.
14:30
Speaker 2: A few housekeeping things about this, this tweet and this
14:33
Speaker 2: graphic specifically, I think it's still a good one even
14:36
Speaker 2: a month being a month old, it's still something to
14:39
Speaker 2: throw up and be able to look at while we're
14:41
Speaker 2: talking about this. But a couple of things that we
14:43
Speaker 2: should mention this. He kind of tweeted two versions of
14:47
Speaker 2: this out back to back. This version that we're looking
14:50
Speaker 2: at here. He specifically says if Harrison Smith returns, which
14:55
Speaker 2: is still something that could happen. He's technically not on
14:58
Speaker 2: the Vikings right now. He was a post June one
15:00
Speaker 2: release and hasn't publicly said anything about whether he's retiring
15:07
Speaker 2: or coming back. Actually, Harrison Smith has said before when
15:10
Speaker 2: I do retire, like I'm not going to make a
15:11
Speaker 2: big deal about it, We're not going to tell everybody.
15:13
Speaker 2: So we don't know. But he still could come back.
15:16
Speaker 2: So that's this graphic is assuming Harrison Smith returns, and
15:23
Speaker 2: it has not taken into account the Juwan Jennings signing,
15:30
Speaker 2: and I think those are the two big things that
15:32
Speaker 2: this graphic either didn't know at the time or is
15:35
Speaker 2: just making an assumption about something, so we can take
15:39
Speaker 2: that piece of knowledge into account as we keep going forward.
15:43
Speaker 1: So I'll just run through the players quick. We'll start
15:46
Speaker 1: on offense, then we'll move to defense. We'll start with
15:48
Speaker 1: the line, and then we'll go to the skilled players.
15:51
Speaker 2: But specifically we can read off this graphic, but I
15:53
Speaker 2: also want to hear from Evan your opinion with this.
15:58
Speaker 1: Or I like context, and so if I were listening,
16:01
Speaker 1: I'd want to know, like, what are the names that
16:03
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're working with here. We won't take
16:07
Speaker 1: too long with this offensive line from left to right,
16:11
Speaker 1: Christian Darisaw, Donovan Jackson, Blake Brandell, Will Fries, Brian O'Neill,
16:16
Speaker 1: and then there's Boorman is saying Kyler Murray at quarterback,
16:21
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones at running back, Jefferson Addison at receiver, Ty
16:26
Speaker 1: Felton at slot, which again you just mentioned this was
16:29
Speaker 1: before Juwan Jennings was signed. Yeah, so if.
16:32
Speaker 2: Sean were reputting this this same graphic out, that would
16:36
Speaker 2: be the only change, yep.
16:38
Speaker 1: And then TJ at tight end. And then on the
16:42
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, defensive line, Dallas Turner, Caleb Banks,
16:47
Speaker 1: the big Citrus, Dominic Orange Jalen Redmond, Angie Van Ginkel.
16:53
Speaker 1: You've got Isaiah Rodgers and Byron Murphy out on the corners.
16:56
Speaker 1: You've got Eric Wilson Blake Cashman as linebackers. Harrison Smith
17:00
Speaker 1: is a safety, which we already mentioned, and then he
17:02
Speaker 1: has Josh Mantellus listed as a dB, which I think
17:06
Speaker 1: means he's that utility knife. He can slide back and
17:09
Speaker 1: play safety. He can jump up and play like a
17:12
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. He can play an outside linebacker, he can
17:16
Speaker 1: play a corner. He can whatever he needs right whatever
17:21
Speaker 1: the defense needs. So that's those are the names. Those
17:24
Speaker 1: are the twenty two guys that Borman has said are
17:28
Speaker 1: deprojected starters. I think first and foremost, obviously ty Felton
17:33
Speaker 1: comes out. Juwan Jennings is easily the slot or the
17:37
Speaker 1: wide receiver three or whatever you want to call that.
17:41
Speaker 1: You've got easy number one, and Justin Jefferson, easy number
17:45
Speaker 1: two in Jordan Addison and you and I talked a
17:47
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago about Jawan Jennings and we compared him
17:50
Speaker 1: to some of the other historical Vikings wide receivers three
17:53
Speaker 1: in this era, and there was just no comparison. He
17:57
Speaker 1: stood out amongst those others, So I don't think it's
18:02
Speaker 1: going to even really be a competition. I think ty
18:04
Speaker 1: Felton might be a returner still, and Juwan Jennings is
18:09
Speaker 1: that that number three guy, and then what else. I
18:17
Speaker 1: think the quarterback position is definitely obviously still up in
18:20
Speaker 1: the air.
18:20
Speaker 2: And we'll be talking about that until we're not talking
18:23
Speaker 2: about the Vikings anymore. You could probably track the single
18:27
Speaker 2: most talked about position between us, and it's got to
18:30
Speaker 2: be quarterback since we started this podcast.
18:32
Speaker 1: Yes, and he says. Borman says Kyler Murray is the
18:37
Speaker 1: projected starter, and I would have to say I agree
18:39
Speaker 1: with him. I think I lean that way. I think
18:42
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has proven starter abilities. He brings another layer
18:49
Speaker 1: to the offense in his ability to run, whereas JJ
18:54
Speaker 1: can do that too. And he's created a little bit
18:56
Speaker 1: with his feet as a Viking, and he did a
18:59
Speaker 1: lot of that Michigan. We just haven't seen a ton
19:02
Speaker 1: of it yet, and it's I don't know all that
19:06
Speaker 1: to say, Yeah, I like Kyler Murray. I think I
19:09
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's the day one starter. I
19:12
Speaker 1: think he's the Week one starter, and then who knows.
19:16
Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL season is such a long grind
19:19
Speaker 1: that we could see two or three quarterbacks starting for
19:23
Speaker 1: the Vikings over the course of the season like we
19:25
Speaker 1: did last year.
19:26
Speaker 2: So we could, and but I do want to kind
19:29
Speaker 2: of refocus a little bit. My question is like, as
19:33
Speaker 2: of right now, you don't pencil a guy, and we're
19:37
Speaker 2: talking like how many positions, how many players are without
19:42
Speaker 2: question right now the starter. So we can we can
19:46
Speaker 2: have the conversations and we will about the Kyler Murray
19:49
Speaker 2: the quarterback position. But I think we could almost both
19:52
Speaker 2: agree as of right now, we need a competition, right
19:58
Speaker 2: like you might be at this point, I don't Kyler
20:02
Speaker 2: murray'sier guy right now, yep, but there's still I'm talking,
20:05
Speaker 2: without question, one hundred percent. Well, Justin Jefferson, Justin Jeffers
20:08
Speaker 2: wide receiver won.
20:09
Speaker 1: Yes, I think darrisaw if he's healthy, he is your
20:14
Speaker 1: left tackle. There's no one else that can play that
20:16
Speaker 1: position better than he can. Honestly, I think the rest
20:21
Speaker 1: of the offensive line they played together. Donovan Jackson has
20:24
Speaker 1: now played on that line, has some starting experience. Blake
20:28
Speaker 1: Brandell has been kind of that utility knife on the
20:31
Speaker 1: interior offensive line. He can play guard if he needs to,
20:35
Speaker 1: and it seems like all signs are pointing to him
20:37
Speaker 1: to be the starting center. It doesn't really seem like
20:40
Speaker 1: they've brought anybody in to compete with him.
20:42
Speaker 2: I mean, as far as new guys, who was the
20:45
Speaker 2: late round with the guy from Cincinnati maybe that they
20:50
Speaker 2: picked up, and it's just enough to be able to
20:54
Speaker 2: say that's the most concrete outside player that they brought
20:59
Speaker 2: in Gearhart at the center position. So I think we
21:04
Speaker 2: could both agree. As far as the offensive line, Confidently,
21:08
Speaker 2: the way things sit right now, four of the five
21:12
Speaker 2: spots have a guaranteed as of right now, week one
21:16
Speaker 2: starter correct center. There's a little bit of competition, but
21:20
Speaker 2: even if there's like ninety five percent chance Brandell's the
21:23
Speaker 2: guy at center, I don't there's still probably still going
21:25
Speaker 2: to be a starter competition for that spot, right.
21:29
Speaker 1: I don't think so I disagree there. I think he's
21:32
Speaker 1: the starting center. Lock it in. And I think that
21:36
Speaker 1: about the entire offensive line. If Darisa is healthy, he's
21:40
Speaker 1: the wild card. If he's healthy, it's a no brainer, right,
21:45
Speaker 1: And I think if you're Kevin O'Connell, I don't even
21:48
Speaker 1: know who the offensive line coach is.
21:50
Speaker 2: It's a new guy this year, remember, because you'll get
21:53
Speaker 2: I don't think he got fired. I think his contract
21:55
Speaker 2: expired and they.
21:56
Speaker 1: Didn't chows not to agree with it.
21:57
Speaker 2: So depending on your definition of firing, yeah he.
22:01
Speaker 1: Got leg up. Yeah yeah. But I think if you're KOC,
22:05
Speaker 1: you want that consistency on offense, especially if you've got
22:09
Speaker 1: a lack of consistency at the quarterback position. At least
22:12
Speaker 1: you can have that firm foundation for whoever is going
22:15
Speaker 1: to be taking snaps and relying on those guys to protect.
22:20
Speaker 2: Right.
22:22
Speaker 1: So I think on the offensive side of the ball,
22:25
Speaker 1: justin Jefferson and the offensive line, I think those positions
22:28
Speaker 1: are locked in. I think everything else is maybe a
22:32
Speaker 1: little bit up in the air. Even maybe Jordan Addison
22:34
Speaker 1: like that, he's Addison's probably like a ninety eight percent
22:38
Speaker 1: locked in.
22:38
Speaker 2: It's like a wide receiver too.
22:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, but competition being Jennings Jennings, yep, and
22:45
Speaker 1: I himself. If if he does something stupid, you know,
22:49
Speaker 1: and gets himself in trouble again, then you know, maybe
22:54
Speaker 1: Jennings slides into that spot because he can't play because
22:58
Speaker 1: he's suspended like you was last year. Right on the
23:01
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. I think it's a little
23:03
Speaker 1: bit more up in the air. You've got two rookies
23:07
Speaker 1: that are projected to start on the interior defensive line,
23:11
Speaker 1: and Caleb Banks is a big wild card with his
23:15
Speaker 1: injury and just can he come back? Can he can
23:20
Speaker 1: he start in Week one? I don't know. I think
23:23
Speaker 1: we're all kind of eager to know about that. I
23:26
Speaker 1: think Dallas Turner is still a little bit of a
23:29
Speaker 1: question mark. I'd say he's maybe like eighty to ninety percent.
23:34
Speaker 2: Okay, Vikings did just sign somebody in the last few
23:38
Speaker 2: days from Pittsburgh.
23:43
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I saw that.
23:45
Speaker 2: What was his name, Isaiah louder Milk. But I think
23:48
Speaker 2: louder Milk has consistent. He's been with Pittsburg his whole
23:52
Speaker 2: career five years so far. But I think he's one
23:54
Speaker 2: of those guys. It's like, I'm trying to think of
23:58
Speaker 2: like what we would think of as Dallas Turner the
24:03
Speaker 2: last few years. Not so much the he's a first
24:05
Speaker 2: round pick, but more than like, oh, he's obviously number
24:08
Speaker 2: two because of who they have ahead of him. Yeah,
24:10
Speaker 2: but he's a solid guy. He's gonna make the team,
24:12
Speaker 2: you know, Like I think that's how he's been in Pittsburgh,
24:15
Speaker 2: So I don't know if he's coming to steal a
24:18
Speaker 2: starting job outside of maybe he just looks more crisp
24:22
Speaker 2: and clean, and maybe Flores meshes with one guy better
24:25
Speaker 2: than the other. Anyways, Sorry, I totally interrupted.
24:28
Speaker 1: No, that's good. I think Dallas Turner should start, but
24:35
Speaker 1: it'll I think it'll depend on the confidence that they
24:37
Speaker 1: have in him. He's still young, he's still developing, but
24:41
Speaker 1: he showed a lot of flashes this last season, and
24:44
Speaker 1: I'm excited about him. Andrew Van Ginkel is a lock.
24:47
Speaker 1: Blake Cashman is a lock. Eric Wilson is a lock.
24:51
Speaker 1: I think your cornerback's are locks.
24:53
Speaker 2: Eric Wilson very good, but he's also got a second
24:57
Speaker 2: round pick that I believe Golday, yeah, does he not
25:02
Speaker 2: play that same position. He might be pushing that competition there.
25:06
Speaker 2: I'm not saying like, oh, Wilson's obviously being replaced, but like, hey,
25:10
Speaker 2: there's competition.
25:11
Speaker 1: Yeap, there's competition. I don't know. I still think your
25:14
Speaker 1: linebackers and cornerbacks are locked in. I don't really know
25:17
Speaker 1: that Week one starters. I don't know that that will change.
25:21
Speaker 2: Okay, whole lot.
25:23
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith is a big wild card because of just.
25:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can't be a lock right now. He's not
25:28
Speaker 2: even on the roster.
25:29
Speaker 1: Right because of his status. If he's a post June
25:33
Speaker 1: first cut, we might know a whole lot more by
25:37
Speaker 1: the time we record the next episode, because it's May
25:39
Speaker 1: twenty fifth right now.
25:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, Harrison Smith wise, like, even if we enter the
25:44
Speaker 2: season and we're at like week three, week four, week eight,
25:49
Speaker 2: you know, like we can get pretty deep into the
25:51
Speaker 2: season and still not fully put to bed the idea
25:55
Speaker 2: Harrison Smith could come back. I think Ben Leeber has
25:58
Speaker 2: been on record saying like there's a ants. I don't
26:01
Speaker 2: think he's ever predicted it as like this is going
26:03
Speaker 2: to happen, but he's like, there's a chance if like
26:06
Speaker 2: Harry stays away, and then if the Vikings get to
26:09
Speaker 2: the point where they're pushing for a playoff spot or
26:12
Speaker 2: they're looking decent in the second half of the season,
26:15
Speaker 2: maybe then Harrison Smith is like, all right, yeah, I
26:19
Speaker 2: can come back. I'm good to come back. That's definitely
26:23
Speaker 2: a possibility. So until we get to I think there's
26:27
Speaker 2: a specific week because I think it's come up with
26:32
Speaker 2: other players and other on other teams where it's like, well,
26:35
Speaker 2: if they don't sign him by this week, then they
26:37
Speaker 2: can't sign him. I don't know the official rules or anything,
26:41
Speaker 2: but I think there is a later season week, like
26:43
Speaker 2: week twelve or something that like if he doesn't come
26:45
Speaker 2: back by then, then he can't come back for the
26:47
Speaker 2: rest of the season because he's not been on a roster.
26:50
Speaker 2: I don't know, but yeah, we can go pretty deep
26:53
Speaker 2: until that talker is no longer valid.
26:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it'll just be really interesting to see. I
26:58
Speaker 1: don't honestly, I don't think Harrison Smith would do that.
27:02
Speaker 1: After all the time and energy, blood, sweat, and tears
27:08
Speaker 1: he's poured into this organization. I don't know that he
27:11
Speaker 1: would just sit and wait to see if the Vikings
27:14
Speaker 1: are contenders to come back.
27:17
Speaker 2: The only way I could see that scenario happening is
27:19
Speaker 2: if Harry's like already had that honest and open conversation
27:24
Speaker 2: with the coaches, like, hey, I could probably come back,
27:27
Speaker 2: but like I need not sure yet, and I feel
27:31
Speaker 2: like the coaches they obviously know what a trillion times
27:35
Speaker 2: more than we do. But I wouldn't be surprised if
27:37
Speaker 2: they've already had that conversation, Like, yeah, I could either
27:40
Speaker 2: I'll either let you know by this date in the
27:42
Speaker 2: off season, or like I could come back if things
27:45
Speaker 2: are working well. I think there's he's been with the
27:48
Speaker 2: team long enough to be able to have those conversations.
27:51
Speaker 2: So even if we'll never know.
27:52
Speaker 1: It, you know well, and I know, like going into
27:54
Speaker 1: last season, they talked about I don't really know that
27:57
Speaker 1: this manifested itself at all, but they talked about putting
28:01
Speaker 1: him on a pitch count or a snap count, and
28:04
Speaker 1: like he's too much of a competitor.
28:06
Speaker 2: That was two seasons ago, yeah, yeah, and then last
28:09
Speaker 2: season he came back and there was no talks of
28:11
Speaker 2: a pitch pitch count, but then he had whatever happened
28:16
Speaker 2: late in training camp health wise or something happened where
28:20
Speaker 2: he kind of like stepped away for a little bit.
28:23
Speaker 1: But I think he's earned the right to to do
28:26
Speaker 1: that too, And and basically tell Brian Flores Kevin O'Connell like, hey,
28:33
Speaker 1: like he's he's earned the Dennis Rodman package almost like
28:39
Speaker 1: did you watch the last time?
28:41
Speaker 2: I don't know that reference the last.
28:44
Speaker 1: Vegas I need a vacation. Uh, not that Harrison Smith
28:49
Speaker 1: would do something stupid like that, but like I think
28:52
Speaker 1: he's he's earned the right to basically like get the
28:56
Speaker 1: Hall pass and basically just tell tell them like I'm
29:00
Speaker 1: out for a little bit. I'll be back when I'm back.
29:03
Speaker 2: And some people would see the Vikings drafting is Jacoby
29:07
Speaker 2: Thomas is yea his name? Yep, I think they've got
29:10
Speaker 2: him in the third round. Some people would see like, oh,
29:12
Speaker 2: they drafted a guy in the third round. That totally
29:14
Speaker 2: means Harry He's not coming back. No, not at all.
29:17
Speaker 2: I mean it's probably a future planning thing and it might,
29:22
Speaker 2: you know, pay dividends already this season. But like, I
29:25
Speaker 2: don't think drafted one guy. What even if they had
29:27
Speaker 2: drafted the enemen in the first round, I don't think
29:30
Speaker 2: that would have fully prevented Harry coming back. But either way,
29:35
Speaker 2: this whole, this whole segment is about established, no question,
29:40
Speaker 2: you are the starter right now, and we just can't
29:44
Speaker 2: say that about Harry right now because he's not even
29:46
Speaker 2: on the team.
29:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think last, but not least, Josh Mantelis
29:51
Speaker 1: is a starter. He's proven that he's very capable in
29:56
Speaker 1: lots of different positions. I think Brian Flores likes having
30:00
Speaker 1: that Swiss Army knife if you need a third linebacker,
30:03
Speaker 1: he can go in there. If you need a third quarterback,
30:05
Speaker 1: you can go in there. If you need a second
30:07
Speaker 1: safety or third safety for that, like, you just got options.
30:11
Speaker 1: You can move him around wherever you want. And who knows,
30:14
Speaker 1: like if Harrison Smith doesn't come back for some reason,
30:18
Speaker 1: Mattelis might be that number one safety.
30:21
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, So he had kind of a down year
30:24
Speaker 2: last year and he ended the year on IR. I'm
30:28
Speaker 2: pretty sure he had surgery, Like I don't know if
30:30
Speaker 2: it was shoulder surgery or something, but it was late
30:33
Speaker 2: in the season he went on IR, and then like
30:36
Speaker 2: the dext day they announced like, hey, he just had
30:39
Speaker 2: successful surgery. So that's just enough of a wild card
30:42
Speaker 2: to be like, there's something to think about there. Is
30:44
Speaker 2: he going to come back healthy. He's on the second
30:46
Speaker 2: year of a deal he signed right before the season
30:50
Speaker 2: last year, so obviously team wants him around.
30:52
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah.
30:55
Speaker 2: What about special team ZEV.
30:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's one position group that's not on the
31:01
Speaker 1: list here, not on Borman's projected starter list. Obviously, Will
31:07
Speaker 1: the Thrill is your kicker. There's no way around that.
31:10
Speaker 1: That's lock and uh oh gosh, now I'm blanking on
31:15
Speaker 1: his name Hecker. Hecker is your punter, John and he's
31:24
Speaker 1: older though, and so I don't know that there's like
31:27
Speaker 1: one percent guarantee that he's the guy. But he's the
31:31
Speaker 1: only punter on the roster.
31:33
Speaker 2: They signed an undrafted guy.
31:35
Speaker 1: I think it's not he's not on the official website yet.
31:42
Speaker 1: Hecker is the only punter listed currently on the roster,
31:48
Speaker 1: and Will Rekerd is the only kicker listed on the roster.
31:54
Speaker 2: Interesting, and Depaula.
31:56
Speaker 1: Was the other guy. He's a long snapper. So I
32:02
Speaker 1: think that's your specialist room. I think punter, kicker, long
32:07
Speaker 1: snapper are pretty much decided. My only concern is Johnny
32:11
Speaker 1: Hecker as a punter. You said they drafted or they
32:14
Speaker 1: picked up an undrafted guy. That might just be like, hey, Johnny,
32:20
Speaker 1: you better punt. Really well, it's camp.
32:22
Speaker 2: It's just heading your bets. I mean, yeah, it's not
32:24
Speaker 2: like they if so. The Saints they signed Ryan Wright
32:31
Speaker 2: for like what was it, like fourteen million dollars, like
32:33
Speaker 2: a four year fourteen million or seventeen million or something
32:36
Speaker 2: like that. The Vikings didn't do that. They got Hecker
32:39
Speaker 2: for I think like one point something million. So he's
32:43
Speaker 2: not I mean even if that was complete dead money
32:46
Speaker 2: to lose out on that, like if it makes your
32:49
Speaker 2: team better if he loses the job, I don't think
32:51
Speaker 2: the team is complaining about eating a million bucks one
32:55
Speaker 2: point two six, yeah, which is not nothing, but yeah,
33:01
Speaker 2: if if he loses out on the job. I really thought,
33:05
Speaker 2: I'm trying to look right now. I really thought they
33:07
Speaker 2: had signed a punter out of like Georgia. But this
33:14
Speaker 2: is taking Oh yeah, Brett Thorson punter out of Georgia.
33:17
Speaker 2: He's an Australian. Yeah, he's just senior out of Georgia.
33:24
Speaker 2: So he was one of their undrafted free agents. And
33:28
Speaker 2: I haven't seen anywhere that says they released him, because
33:30
Speaker 2: they've already released a couple of guys that were udfas.
33:35
Speaker 2: But you're right, he wasn't listed on on the the
33:40
Speaker 2: roster when I just looked, So I don't know.
33:42
Speaker 1: Johnny, Johnny Hecker is our age. He's thirty six. Yeah,
33:46
Speaker 1: I turned thirty six later this year. You turned thirty
33:50
Speaker 1: six next year. But basically our age, Like maybe maybe
33:53
Speaker 1: he graduated a year ahead of us in high school.
33:56
Speaker 1: But and and punter is a pretty durable position for
34:00
Speaker 1: the most part, Like unless you're getting knocked over every
34:02
Speaker 1: time you drop back to upun the ball, you're probably
34:05
Speaker 1: gonna be in the league a while, and if you're
34:06
Speaker 1: a good one, you'll you'll make good money and be
34:10
Speaker 1: on a team for a while because they know they
34:12
Speaker 1: can rely on you.
34:12
Speaker 2: But all I'll say is the fact that there is
34:16
Speaker 2: he wasn't a fifteen million dollar contract guy, and they
34:21
Speaker 2: signed somebody to compete. Those two facts are why in
34:27
Speaker 2: May I don't think you can pencil in or you
34:29
Speaker 2: can permanent marker in Hecker as the unquestioned day one starter.
34:34
Speaker 2: He probably will. I mean, he could win the job
34:36
Speaker 2: and it might be easy for him, but as of now,
34:39
Speaker 2: you can't say without question he's the starter.
34:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's. He's kind of like in the same category
34:44
Speaker 1: as like Jordan Addison or Eric Wilson.
34:48
Speaker 2: I think we we agree, we agree and disagree on something.
34:51
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting when I go down the list
34:53
Speaker 2: of mine because I haven't given my.
34:56
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but I've kind of dominated this conversation. Let's
34:59
Speaker 1: let's hear but.
35:00
Speaker 2: I want to hear it. So you said, long snapper,
35:02
Speaker 2: I think we both agreed to Paula. They re signed him.
35:05
Speaker 2: He's like forty something, but they resigned him. He's been
35:08
Speaker 2: one of the best. It's a hard position to quantify.
35:12
Speaker 1: He's just so consistent, like you never really He's one
35:14
Speaker 1: of those It's one of those positions where if you
35:16
Speaker 1: don't hear their name, then they're not the problem exactly.
35:20
Speaker 2: So yeah, de Paula, I think he's one that I
35:22
Speaker 2: would buy his jersey, like, I'm kind of surprised I
35:24
Speaker 2: don't own his jersey yet. So yeah, he's I'm gonna
35:28
Speaker 2: say it on question day one starter.
35:31
Speaker 1: I think two thirds of those guys are locked in.
35:34
Speaker 1: Will Recherd and Andrew Depaula are locked in starters unless
35:39
Speaker 1: something catastrophic happens. I know you're gonna say that.
35:44
Speaker 2: What about kick returner, punt returner? And it can be
35:47
Speaker 2: enough to say there is no starter.
35:49
Speaker 1: I mean that's where I think, like if Juwan Jennings
35:52
Speaker 1: slides into the wide receiver three slot, whatever role, he
35:57
Speaker 1: could be doing some of that, and Tie Felton does
36:01
Speaker 1: some of that as well. And I'm gonna look at
36:03
Speaker 1: the roster one more time.
36:05
Speaker 2: Just so I think Miles Price was Miles he was
36:07
Speaker 2: at least the kick returner. I don't know if he
36:09
Speaker 2: was also the bona fide punt returner. Co pilot says,
36:14
Speaker 2: Juan Jennings has no returning stats, but I could see
36:21
Speaker 2: why you would think that, you know, a fast guy
36:23
Speaker 2: at not a justin Jefferson spot.
36:26
Speaker 1: Didn't JOSHN Jones return some stuff last year too?
36:29
Speaker 2: He may have, but John Jones is still in the
36:31
Speaker 2: point of his career where he's borderline not making the
36:34
Speaker 2: fifty three. He's a perennial practice squad guy, and I
36:38
Speaker 2: think this is this will be his like third year.
36:42
Speaker 2: But if he's gonna make the team, it is going
36:44
Speaker 2: to be through something like all right, he's flashing there
36:47
Speaker 2: in the return game. I do think Miles Price, he
36:53
Speaker 2: didn't he break records for like the most return yards
36:56
Speaker 2: as a rookie or most return yards for the Vikings
36:58
Speaker 2: in a year, like he had a really good year
37:01
Speaker 2: returning kicks. Again, I don't know about punts. He may
37:04
Speaker 2: have been the punt returner too, but he also had
37:07
Speaker 2: like one or two touchdowns called back on just horrific
37:14
Speaker 2: terrible penalties of like holding and stuff for the Vikings.
37:17
Speaker 2: So Miles Price, he's close to being the unquestioned kick
37:22
Speaker 2: return starter. But I even I won't go as far
37:25
Speaker 2: as to say, like kick returns him without question, there's
37:28
Speaker 2: gonna be competition.
37:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had two hundred and ninety eight yards in
37:32
Speaker 1: kick returns.
37:33
Speaker 2: Does it say punt returns, does it separate that out
37:36
Speaker 2: or is it all just kind of lumped in?
37:38
Speaker 1: You know? That was punt returns. Okay, two hundred and
37:40
Speaker 1: ninety eight punt return yards. He had fourteen and seventy
37:44
Speaker 1: nine kick return yards.
37:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude was kind of crazy, and it would have
37:48
Speaker 2: been way more if not for a few untimely penalties.
37:54
Speaker 1: Twenty five point nine yards per on average per return.
37:59
Speaker 1: And then all purpose yards. He had seventeen hundred and
38:03
Speaker 1: seventy seven all purpose yards, so, which is.
38:05
Speaker 2: Mostly punt kick return yards. I don't know how many
38:07
Speaker 2: offensive yards he.
38:09
Speaker 1: Had, probably not a ton, but yeah, he definitely cemented it.
38:14
Speaker 1: I forgot about Miles Price, actually, so I guess that
38:19
Speaker 1: all that makes me wonder, like why Felton was even
38:22
Speaker 1: in Borman's initial projected roster in the first place, Like,
38:27
Speaker 1: was he just the only guy?
38:28
Speaker 2: He had him at slot? There was no Yeah, so
38:31
Speaker 2: I think at the time April twenty six, right after
38:34
Speaker 2: the draft, because remember the Vikings, they didn't draft any receivers. True,
38:39
Speaker 2: at the time, it was ty Felton was without question
38:43
Speaker 2: wide receiver three, just because they hadn't done anything. And
38:46
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure if we go back to that original tweet,
38:49
Speaker 2: one of the top replies to that says something like
38:53
Speaker 2: what about the slot. That's the only position that really
38:55
Speaker 2: gives me a lot of concern, And Borman himself says like, yeah,
38:59
Speaker 2: I think they'll they'll be looking at the market. Yeah,
39:03
Speaker 2: he says, have to think they'll look at available wide receivers.
39:06
Speaker 2: And then so they got Jays And importantly I probably
39:09
Speaker 2: said it like ten times. Now, this Sean Borman graphic
39:12
Speaker 2: isn't unquestioned day one starters. This is just depth chart
39:17
Speaker 2: as of now and now being late April, right after
39:21
Speaker 2: the draft. So I mean, I think it'd be totally
39:24
Speaker 2: different if Sean were to give like, yeah, there's no
39:29
Speaker 2: question justin Jefferson is wide receiver one and nobody's competing
39:34
Speaker 2: for that spot. So yeah, any other thoughts before I
39:38
Speaker 2: dive down position by position.
39:40
Speaker 1: I want to know what you think.
39:41
Speaker 2: I'll be a little bit more precise because I've definitely
39:43
Speaker 2: been adding my own thoughts as you've been going. But
39:47
Speaker 2: as far as offense, the offensive line, I think I
39:50
Speaker 2: said it too. So between left tackle unquestioned, Christian Dearrissa,
39:55
Speaker 2: left guard unquestioned, Donovan Jackson center. For me, there's gonna
40:00
Speaker 2: a competition. I don't think it's enough. It's not solid
40:03
Speaker 2: enough for me to say in late May that Blake
40:07
Speaker 2: Brandell is one hundred percent, without question, the day one starter.
40:12
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a competition, and I think that's okay.
40:14
Speaker 2: I'm not mad if Brandell wins the job. I think
40:17
Speaker 2: when he came in he really found in twenty twenty
40:20
Speaker 2: five that he was always that sixth offensive lineman, the
40:24
Speaker 2: guy that can swing really anywhere. I think he kind
40:26
Speaker 2: of found that center was his position. So that's not
40:30
Speaker 2: a bad thing. But I still think there's gonna be competition.
40:33
Speaker 2: Right guard Will Fries right now unquestioned right guard, no
40:37
Speaker 2: competition needed again barring injury. And then Brian O'Neill bright tackle,
40:44
Speaker 2: no question. So four of the five offensive line spots.
40:47
Speaker 2: For me, I don't even need to pay attention to
40:51
Speaker 2: the tweets of how this competition's going because they're all
40:54
Speaker 2: good quarterback There's going to be a competition, and people
40:58
Speaker 2: have their thoughts, and I don't want to dive down
41:00
Speaker 2: into it because we've already kind of done it a
41:02
Speaker 2: little bit and spent a few minutes on it. I
41:04
Speaker 2: think even if you think Kyler Murray is unquestioned the
41:07
Speaker 2: day one starter, it's not like they're not going to
41:09
Speaker 2: give j. J. McCarthy a chance. I think it's forty
41:13
Speaker 2: forty and then the ten percent chance of Carson Wentz
41:18
Speaker 2: coming in and winning the job. But yeah, I just
41:21
Speaker 2: it's not it's not solidified enough for me to say
41:23
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is without question the starter. Aaron Jones at
41:27
Speaker 2: running back, I don't. I think that's not guaranteed either.
41:31
Speaker 2: I think Jordan Mason has probably more of a chance
41:34
Speaker 2: to earn that starting RB one job. I'm interested to
41:38
Speaker 2: see how the rookie does. What's his name, the the oh.
41:45
Speaker 1: John Owens, No.
41:47
Speaker 2: He was one of the undrafted guys. This is his
41:50
Speaker 2: name starts with a D. I think Cliburne. Yeah, yeah,
41:53
Speaker 2: I think I'm interested to see how he does. But
41:56
Speaker 2: I don't think there's an unquestioned RB one as of
41:59
Speaker 2: right now. And that's okay. That running back room is
42:03
Speaker 2: going to be okay with the guys that are in there,
42:05
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know if there's a clear cut
42:09
Speaker 2: number one right now tight end For me, TJ. Hockinson,
42:13
Speaker 2: he's unquestioned tight end number one right now. We can
42:17
Speaker 2: argue about whether or not you think he's good. Not you, Evan,
42:20
Speaker 2: but you the listener. But yeah, for me, he's tattooed
42:25
Speaker 2: in it. Tight end number one obviously, Justin Jefferson is
42:29
Speaker 2: wide receiver number one. And I'd kind of disagree with
42:32
Speaker 2: you on Jordan Adison. I think he is unquestioned right
42:34
Speaker 2: now wide receiver two, which is a starting position. Again,
42:40
Speaker 2: I think your reasoning is valid. He could get in trouble,
42:44
Speaker 2: could do something stupid, but as far as competing for
42:46
Speaker 2: his job on the football field, he is the starter.
42:50
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And I don't disagree with that. And that's
42:52
Speaker 1: why I kind of said, like, it might not be
42:55
Speaker 1: someone else that beats him out, yeah, his job. It
42:57
Speaker 1: might be himself that beats himself out for a job,
43:00
Speaker 1: you know.
43:01
Speaker 2: And then I think the slot for me, I think
43:05
Speaker 2: Joan Jennings has it's ninety nine point nine nine nine
43:09
Speaker 2: nine whatever percent to win that job. But just the
43:12
Speaker 2: fact that Ty Felton's been with a team for a
43:15
Speaker 2: year longer and that's the only reason, because he hasn't
43:19
Speaker 2: gotten any opportunity other than that there's gonna be some competition.
43:23
Speaker 2: It might be very quickly evident that Jowan Jennings has
43:26
Speaker 2: gotten that job, but I think he's still just he
43:29
Speaker 2: has to earn it just being in the new guy.
43:33
Speaker 2: So for me, left tackle, left guard, right guard, right tackle,
43:38
Speaker 2: wide receiver, one wide receiver, two tight end one on offense,
43:41
Speaker 2: those are the only ones with unquestioned starters heading into
43:44
Speaker 2: the season. On defense, I think Dallas Turner on question
43:48
Speaker 2: you tattoo him and they're going to bring in depth
43:52
Speaker 2: and they already have. We kind of talked about it.
43:54
Speaker 2: But Dallas Turner is the starter there. Caleb Banks, he's
43:58
Speaker 2: going to be a starter unless he's not healthy enough.
44:02
Speaker 2: And maybe it's just enough to say like there is
44:04
Speaker 2: a little bit of a concern there, so maybe not
44:07
Speaker 2: quite unquestioned there. But no matter what, Jalen Redmond he's
44:12
Speaker 2: a starter unless like undrafted guys beat him out or
44:18
Speaker 2: el Presidente Levy Drake Rodriguez beats him out. But I
44:22
Speaker 2: think Jalen Redmond he's he's in there no matter what.
44:26
Speaker 2: Andrew Van Ginkel starter absolutely unquestioned. I agree with you
44:31
Speaker 2: on the cornerbacks, Isaiah Rodgers and Bonn Murphy, they're they're
44:34
Speaker 2: the starters. There are the money guys, they're they're going
44:37
Speaker 2: to be starting. Eric Wilson, I think he's gonna have
44:40
Speaker 2: a little competition. He's probably gonna win the job, but
44:43
Speaker 2: I think, uh golday, I think some other guys in
44:47
Speaker 2: that room. Maybe even the fire has been lit under
44:51
Speaker 2: Ivan paces Tush, But I think there's enough opportunity for
44:55
Speaker 2: competition that it's not fully Eric Wilson's job. In my book,
45:00
Speaker 2: Blake Cashman, though he is the unquestioned other inside linebackers starter.
45:06
Speaker 2: And then I don't think there is an unquestioned safety starter.
45:10
Speaker 2: I think Josh mattellas he should be, but the injury
45:14
Speaker 2: concern from last years enough for me to say, like,
45:17
Speaker 2: all right, they're gonna have to at least look elsewhere
45:21
Speaker 2: or you know, at other guys on the roster, So
45:23
Speaker 2: there could be a competition there, and then special teams
45:29
Speaker 2: will record he might be the best player pound for
45:31
Speaker 2: pound on the team. It's either him or Justin Jefferson punter.
45:37
Speaker 2: There's definitely gonna be a competition long snapper, it's depaula.
45:42
Speaker 2: He is the unquestioned starter. And then kick return, punt return.
45:45
Speaker 2: There's just that's the best way for athletic guys to
45:49
Speaker 2: try and earn a roster spot that they're gonna spend
45:53
Speaker 2: time every day in training camp giving guys a look
45:56
Speaker 2: at kick returns and punt returns. So for that reason alone, yeah,
46:00
Speaker 2: it's enough to say that Miles Price isn't unquestioned the
46:03
Speaker 2: starter at that position right now. But yeah, maybe that
46:07
Speaker 2: maybe that was boring, maybe not interesting. I don't know.
46:10
Speaker 2: I feel like everything I said makes a lot of sense,
46:13
Speaker 2: but some people could disagree with me, I think on
46:15
Speaker 2: some level, and that's okay. You might disagree with me
46:17
Speaker 2: on a couple of the positions.
46:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean it's okay to disagree. At this point.
46:22
Speaker 1: We're just speculating and we're just trying to figure out,
46:24
Speaker 1: like how we see things right now, and it's not
46:28
Speaker 1: our job at the end of the day to figure
46:30
Speaker 1: that out. It's the coaches and the GM And yeah,
46:34
Speaker 1: it'll be exciting to see that roster come together. And
46:41
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting about the Vikings roster right now
46:44
Speaker 1: is it's not this like, oh my gosh, we have
46:49
Speaker 1: the most amazing roster ever. We're gonna win the whole thing.
46:52
Speaker 2: They signed all these hundred million dollar free agents, just
46:55
Speaker 2: everything's gonna be great.
46:56
Speaker 1: It's it's this just kind of unassuming, like, yeah, that's
47:01
Speaker 1: a good group of guys right there, and I don't
47:04
Speaker 1: know we could do something with it, you know. So
47:07
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know. I think at this point, I'm
47:10
Speaker 1: always optimistic because you just don't know, right, You don't
47:13
Speaker 1: know until you know. You don't know until you know
47:16
Speaker 1: eleven guys put their fingers in the dirt and go
47:20
Speaker 1: up against another team to try to win a game. Yeah,
47:24
Speaker 1: you know, and we won't know that until September.
47:26
Speaker 2: So all right, we have one more segment listed down,
47:30
Speaker 2: and I know we're getting a little long in the tooth,
47:32
Speaker 2: but I think we can do this segment justice with
47:35
Speaker 2: just a human we can.
47:36
Speaker 1: Go speed round here. Yeah. So, friend of the show,
47:40
Speaker 1: Dustin Baker wrote an article for Vikings Territory and the
47:46
Speaker 1: title of his article is four Vikings players that are
47:49
Speaker 1: on the verge of a breakout. So we can probably
47:53
Speaker 1: approach this like we typically do. Maybe we can list
47:57
Speaker 1: the four players, and we'll list them in the order
47:59
Speaker 1: that does has because he lists them in order of
48:03
Speaker 1: like least likely to break out to most likely to
48:06
Speaker 1: break out. And then we can maybe just like re
48:10
Speaker 1: rank the players based on our thoughts, our opinions. So
48:14
Speaker 1: we'll go in the order that Dustin has them listed here,
48:16
Speaker 1: least likely to break out. Bo Richter at number four,
48:20
Speaker 1: outside linebacker.
48:21
Speaker 2: Now that is an interesting way to phrase it because
48:23
Speaker 2: I think he's Dustin is saying all four of these
48:26
Speaker 2: guys are on the it's in the title, on the
48:28
Speaker 2: verge of breaking out, but like, yes, this.
48:30
Speaker 1: Is who's closer to the epicenter of a breakout.
48:33
Speaker 2: So if you're on the list, you're, in Dustin's eyes,
48:36
Speaker 2: you're about you could be about to break out. So
48:38
Speaker 2: to say least likely is like little misleading because he's
48:42
Speaker 2: not saying bo Richter won't break out at all. He's
48:45
Speaker 2: saying of the four, he's just bottom of the list.
48:47
Speaker 1: YEP. Then there's JJ McCarthy, interesting than Jay Ward, who
48:55
Speaker 1: we really haven't talked about it all yeah today, and
48:57
Speaker 1: he did not show up on Sean Borman's list of
49:00
Speaker 1: projected fifty three man starters. And then Dallas Turner at
49:06
Speaker 1: number one. Thoughts would you rearrange that list? Would you
49:10
Speaker 1: take anybody off and add anybody new?
49:14
Speaker 2: What do you think I'm gonna steer clear of taking
49:17
Speaker 2: off and adding new because we could say, hey, Kyler
49:20
Speaker 2: Murray could just explode and resurrect his career.
49:23
Speaker 1: And be like the best quarterback in Viking sister.
49:26
Speaker 2: Could be And if that happened, I wouldn't be mad.
49:29
Speaker 2: I just you know, I'd always feel a little sad
49:33
Speaker 2: for JJ, but like, hey, if my team's winning, I'm
49:35
Speaker 2: not mad about it. So adding people knew, I'm just
49:39
Speaker 2: gonna look at this list. I think it's Dallas Turner.
49:42
Speaker 2: Seems like he has the most opportunity as things sit
49:45
Speaker 2: right now, to break out.
49:47
Speaker 1: Now.
49:47
Speaker 2: Obviously, if JJ McCarthy were to if this article was
49:51
Speaker 2: written the week or the day after fifty three man
49:56
Speaker 2: rosters are announced and it's totally announced that JJ McCarthy
50:00
Speaker 2: won the QB one job, then he'd probably be listed
50:03
Speaker 2: at number one, Like he's got the best opportunity. But
50:06
Speaker 2: right now, the way things that I think, Dallas Turner
50:10
Speaker 2: he might be the one with the most opportunity to
50:12
Speaker 2: break out and one that most Vikings fans are waiting
50:15
Speaker 2: for him to break out. I don't think there's been
50:18
Speaker 2: this huge uproar of pissed off Vikings fans. Some of
50:22
Speaker 2: them are about the Grenard trade, like some people are
50:26
Speaker 2: definitely upset about that, But it's not been like the
50:29
Speaker 2: the talk of Vikings fans since the draft. And I
50:33
Speaker 2: think just the idea of Dallas Turner was waiting in
50:36
Speaker 2: the wings. He finished off twenty twenty five strong, we're
50:40
Speaker 2: really gonna give this kid a chance that they basically
50:44
Speaker 2: traded an entire draft to be able to get him.
50:48
Speaker 2: Now that he's finally getting the chance to be a starter,
50:51
Speaker 2: and man, he could he could do some stuff this season.
50:56
Speaker 2: So I think he's well suited to be number one
50:59
Speaker 2: on this list of potential breakouts. What do you think
51:02
Speaker 2: about Dallas Turner?
51:04
Speaker 1: I agree with you, I think he is and I
51:06
Speaker 1: agree with Dustin too. I think he's the most likely
51:09
Speaker 1: to break out. I think moving on from Grenard, I
51:12
Speaker 1: wasn't mad about moving on from Gernard. I was mad
51:15
Speaker 1: about what they got, sure ye for moving on two thirds.
51:20
Speaker 1: It just wasn't enough in my opinion, and I felt
51:22
Speaker 1: like he had more value that the Vikings could have
51:26
Speaker 1: milked in terms of getting something from another team, But
51:32
Speaker 1: it makes sense to move on from Gernard. He was expensive,
51:35
Speaker 1: He's a really good player. But I think Dallas Turner
51:39
Speaker 1: fills that void really well. And I think doing that
51:42
Speaker 1: by moving on from Jonathan Garnard, Brian Flores, Kevin O'Connell,
51:47
Speaker 1: the rest of the organization, they showed Dallas Turner, we
51:51
Speaker 1: believe in you, we think you're the next man up.
51:54
Speaker 1: Let's go, and hopefully the young guy takes that to
51:58
Speaker 1: heart and plays hard, plays well, keeps himself healthy, keeps
52:02
Speaker 1: himself out of trouble, all that good stuff. Yeah, so
52:05
Speaker 1: I definitely agree with that. I would like to disagree
52:09
Speaker 1: with one that Dustin has on the same army. I
52:15
Speaker 1: disagree with Jay Ward, and I'll tell you why. Everything
52:21
Speaker 1: that Dustin writes here is predicated on Harrison Smith not
52:25
Speaker 1: being on the roster. And I think if Harrison Smith
52:30
Speaker 1: is on the roster, and again we've already talked about
52:32
Speaker 1: kind of that wrinkle and how that wrinkle could develop,
52:37
Speaker 1: Could he be on the roster week one, Yes, Could
52:39
Speaker 1: he be on the roster later in the season, yes?
52:42
Speaker 1: Is there a cutoff? Yes, we just don't know at
52:46
Speaker 1: this point. I think in the next couple of weeks
52:48
Speaker 1: we'll know a little bit more because decisions will have
52:50
Speaker 1: to be made both by the team and by the player.
52:55
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna know more. Maybe by like a
52:57
Speaker 1: month from now. Is Harrison Smith going to play or not?
53:02
Speaker 1: I think we should know that in a month. So
53:06
Speaker 1: I disagree with with with Dustin a little bit here,
53:10
Speaker 1: and maybe I don't know, Maybe maybe he's onto something
53:12
Speaker 1: a little bit. But if you look at the safety
53:15
Speaker 1: room right now for the Vikings, you have Khalif Hillassi,
53:21
Speaker 1: Theo Jackson, Josh Mattellus, who we've already talked about. You
53:25
Speaker 1: have rookie Jacob Thomas, who I think was a UDFA.
53:29
Speaker 1: Then you have Jacoby Thomas, you have Tavier Thomas, Who've
53:33
Speaker 1: got three Thomas's in the safety room there, and you
53:37
Speaker 1: got Jay Ward. Tavier Thomas was a free agent pickup right.
53:44
Speaker 2: He was on the team last year. He had a
53:46
Speaker 2: couple of those untimely special teams penalties, that's right, that
53:50
Speaker 2: negated at least one touchdown from Miles Price.
53:54
Speaker 1: But I guess he's he's got some experience and maybe
53:57
Speaker 1: he learned from some of those mistakes. I don't know.
54:00
Speaker 1: THEO Jackson is another one that has had some experience.
54:04
Speaker 1: I'm not saying jay Ward is like completely buried in
54:08
Speaker 1: this list and isn't at the top of this list.
54:11
Speaker 1: He might be at the top of the list, you know,
54:14
Speaker 1: if it goes Harrison Smith Joshua Mattellis, it might be
54:18
Speaker 1: jay Ward after that. But there's depth in that safety
54:24
Speaker 1: room that I like, and I think there are some
54:27
Speaker 1: young guys that could develop into some nice players there.
54:32
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I just don't know that Jay
54:34
Speaker 1: Ward is the second most likely player to break out
54:41
Speaker 1: this season. And again it's a lot of it's predicated
54:44
Speaker 1: on a lot of what Dustin wrote was predicated on
54:47
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith coming or not coming back, and we've talked
54:51
Speaker 1: about how that's still very much a possibility. And so
54:54
Speaker 1: if that is a possibility, well then jay Ward is
54:57
Speaker 1: right back where he was. You know, he won't have
54:59
Speaker 1: the opportunity to break out because it'll be Harrison Smith
55:03
Speaker 1: and Joshua Mantellis.
55:05
Speaker 2: You know, yep. Yeah, for me, I would swap in
55:09
Speaker 2: order of most to least, I'd swap JJ McCarthy with
55:13
Speaker 2: Jay Ward. I think JJ McCarthy he has the ability.
55:18
Speaker 2: We could be sitting here here from now talking about
55:21
Speaker 2: a stat line of McCarthy where he got zero yards,
55:23
Speaker 2: zero touchdown, zero minutes playing whatever, or forty five hundred
55:28
Speaker 2: yards forty touchdowns Pro Bowl, Like. He could have anything
55:34
Speaker 2: from in between any of those scenarios and we could
55:38
Speaker 2: totally believe it. Maybe it'd be a little far fetch
55:41
Speaker 2: to say forty five hundred yards and stuff like that,
55:43
Speaker 2: but he could totally break out, or he could lose
55:46
Speaker 2: the job in camp and never see the field at all.
55:50
Speaker 2: But for that volatility reason, I think that's enough to
55:55
Speaker 2: put him at number two, like on the verge potential
55:58
Speaker 2: like this could be exciting, and then bo Richter, I
56:02
Speaker 2: this could have just been enough for Dustin to want
56:06
Speaker 2: to add another player to this list. I think bo
56:08
Speaker 2: Richter he could not make the team, or he could
56:12
Speaker 2: make the team and start several games and actually break
56:16
Speaker 2: out and do something good. But I think bo Richter
56:19
Speaker 2: has already been a guy that's been in his three
56:23
Speaker 2: or four years so far, released and resigned by the
56:25
Speaker 2: team a few times. He's held several different numbers in
56:29
Speaker 2: his career, Jersey numbers as a Viking. I think if
56:34
Speaker 2: Grenard were still a Viking, bo Richter might definitely be
56:38
Speaker 2: cut because you know, they have so many guys of
56:41
Speaker 2: that position. But again, he could be a guy that's
56:44
Speaker 2: like he could start a few games due to injury
56:48
Speaker 2: and he could play well and we just never know.
56:53
Speaker 2: But I think if he this could be his last
56:55
Speaker 2: year with the Vikings, if he even makes a team.
56:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he I think didn't he recover at least
57:01
Speaker 1: one fumble last year?
57:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he had like a game ceiling fumble
57:07
Speaker 2: recovery at one point. But yeah, yeah, there's something to that.
57:12
Speaker 2: I forgot about that. He's also in the background of
57:16
Speaker 2: that nine meme that keeps going around. There's two guys
57:20
Speaker 2: faces that you can see, and bu Richter is the
57:23
Speaker 2: other guy other than JJ.
57:24
Speaker 1: So he had a fumble recovery in twenty four but
57:28
Speaker 1: last year, and he had one past defended last year,
57:35
Speaker 1: and he had a handful of tackles between last year
57:38
Speaker 1: and this year, so not bad. But yeah, could be
57:43
Speaker 1: a fringe player that may not make the roster, like
57:45
Speaker 1: you said, especially with some other talented faces in the mix.
57:50
Speaker 1: So it'll be really interesting to see. And again, the
57:53
Speaker 1: tough part is at this point we speculate, ye, right,
57:57
Speaker 1: we just we look ahead, we look at the roster,
58:00
Speaker 1: we look at everything, and we just try to guess
58:02
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. And we're just throwing darts at the
58:06
Speaker 1: wall and seeing what sticks.
58:08
Speaker 2: It always works out for us.
58:09
Speaker 1: But eventually, eventually we'll see them play and then we'll
58:13
Speaker 1: be able to react. Right, We'll be able to instead
58:15
Speaker 1: of speculate, well, we'll speculate about what's going to happen,
58:18
Speaker 1: and then we'll be able to react in post like yeah,
58:21
Speaker 1: I knew it alone. Yeah, or man, we were so wrong? Well, uh,
58:28
Speaker 1: you weren't wrong about this beer.
58:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
58:30
Speaker 1: I think this beer was really good and I would
58:33
Speaker 1: I would seek this out again. I like a good
58:36
Speaker 1: cream ale. It's been a while since I've had a
58:38
Speaker 1: creamle I mentioned the single speed Tricycle creamale that I
58:42
Speaker 1: really like. This reminds me a lot of that. But
58:46
Speaker 1: the pistachio vibes are they're there, They're it's.
58:49
Speaker 2: More of a nutty vibe, yeah, than specifically pistachian.
58:53
Speaker 1: It's not I don't know how do I say that.
58:56
Speaker 1: It's not like in your face, like, it's not a
59:00
Speaker 1: nut beer. It's not like the nut brown ale that
59:02
Speaker 1: we made a little over a year ago.
59:05
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, we need to make another beer, by the way,
59:07
Speaker 2: Yeah we do.
59:09
Speaker 1: But it's good. It's a good beerd has some nutty
59:12
Speaker 1: vibes to it, but they're not overwhelming, and it's just
59:16
Speaker 1: it's easy drinking. It goes down nice, and I.
59:18
Speaker 2: Will say it's probably one of the like lightest tasting
59:24
Speaker 2: six point five percent beers I've ever tried, because I
59:28
Speaker 2: did forget, like, man, this is kind of a six
59:31
Speaker 2: point five, like it's not gonna wreck you, but it's
59:35
Speaker 2: up there as far as when you're talking about normal beer,
59:38
Speaker 2: ABB six point five is kind of high. But yeah,
59:42
Speaker 2: flavor is really good. I like it a lot colors,
59:45
Speaker 2: you know, basically crystal clear, and yeah, I'm I don't
59:50
Speaker 2: know if I said this on air or not. Before
59:54
Speaker 2: we cracked them open, I was like, I hope it's
59:56
Speaker 2: not like thick, and it's not. It's not thinking. Oh,
1:00:00
Speaker 2: it's nice and light and refreshing.
1:00:02
Speaker 1: It's just a good, clean beer with a good kind
1:00:06
Speaker 1: of nut profile and a cream ale foundation. Yeah, I
1:00:12
Speaker 1: don't know. I like it.
1:00:12
Speaker 2: It's good beer. I will have it again for sure.
