• 0:52
  Speaker 1: host of the show cy Onminton, and joining me is
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the co host of the show, the Great Chad Daniels
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and Chatty.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: D Hello, boy, oh boy.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: What a difference a week can make.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you. You know, we talk about it all
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: the time. We're not a review show, but I would
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: just like to spend the next half hour reviewing the
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: beauty of that last game. I know we can't, but yikes,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: what a difference a week makes is completely completely true.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Got some people back, got some people that were replacing
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the people that we're out that are still making great plays.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you it's looking up.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It's looking up.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And I talked to a lot of people last week
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: going into the Lions game that were basically on Armageddon
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Wall Rush. The O'Connell run to this point has been
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: so successful and has you know, I don't know that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in the team's eyes they look at it this way,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: but from a national media and a fan standpoint, they
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: have overachieved kind of at every turn. I think when
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: they had that big year with Kirk, I don't think
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: anyone saw him doing that. When they lost Kirk and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: they brought Dobs in and they were starting Mullins, I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: don't think anyone saw him succeeding in any way. Yet
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they had that crazy Atlanta game in a little run
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: when Darnald came here and JJ gets hurt. No one
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: sees that coming.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: So well, that's not true. I actually did see it coming.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: But it's fine.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I think this was the first time that there was
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the fan base was faced with it not going not
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just the way they hoped it had but better than
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the way they hoped it had. And man, I had
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: some friends on ledges and to come out and see
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the team respond, it's almost like they played to prove
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: all that worry wrong. And I know that's not how
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it works, but like everything that people worried about or
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: complained to me got flipped.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: On its head in that last game.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that feels really good to walk forward from that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I agree. I mean, I have a friend who is
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: a comedian that lives in Detroit, and we we made
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a side bet on some promotional things and he goes,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: all right, nine point five points is the spread, so
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that's what you get, and I go. I looked him
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: right in the face, and I go, you keep those points.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I don't need them, not this week.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So basically what you bet is it's like one of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: those things where mayors are like, if we win, i'll
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: wear your jersey. But you guys bet promoting each other's
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: stand up material.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, our shows, promoting shows. When I go
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: to Detroit, now he has to promote for an entire
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: week stories on all his stuff.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And that is the guy who was on this show
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: last week. No, Zach Martin. Oh, it's not the great
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Zach Martinez. Who else do we know that's a Detroit.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: For Well, this is actually so I say, from Detroit,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: but actually from across the state in Grand Rapids. But
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna show.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, I know who we're talking about.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's shift to the Ravens, right, and let me
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: give you Let's start this out with I think arguably
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the weirdest stat in Viking history. I know that's dramatic.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I know you think I'm over the top, but let
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: me lay it down for you.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: You are.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, the Vikings have played the Baltimore Ravens seven times. Okay,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they have won three of those games. In those three
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: seasons that they won those three games every single time
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they went to the NFC Championship.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Interesting, they have lost four times.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: In the four seasons in which they lost those four times.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: At the end of the year, the head coach was
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: relieved of its duties. Oh so every time we play
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the Ravens, just historically, Yeah, we either go to the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: NFC Championship or we fire our coach and Chad, can
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I tell you something?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, God, damn, I don't see us f firing
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: last year's coach of the Year. So I think whatever
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: we felt.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Against the Lions, it feels good.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Pump pump, pump it up. I think we're going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the moon.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I this is what we in the business call a trend,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and I would love to hop on this trend.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I've already hopped on the trend. I can't wait. I'll
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: see you guys at the NFC Championship game. I will
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: be there. Yeah, I'm excited to watch that game. I'm
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: excited to watch them win. I'm excited to watch them
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: continue to win. But the fact is so, Lamar Jackson
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: is back.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson is back.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: He's very good, which which, by the way, I got
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to tell you something. I feel like I feel like
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I could be a GM because I when he got injured,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I said, you have to have a quarterback that can
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: move because this offense is based on a running quarterback.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: It doesn't work for the quarterback to sit back in
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the pocket. This particular offense. The first week they had
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: a pocket passer, guy got murder murdered. Second week they
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: found somebody that could move. They win. So anyways, I'm
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: up for GM. No big deal.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you something that I'm very competent in. Yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I think you might be. Though you could, you would
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: probably be the worst GM in the history of professional sports.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: That's not true at all, because I Hey, you want
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: a GM that plays with his mind and not his heart, Well, nice, try, loser.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I'm in there every day making decisions based on my relationships,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: based on my love of the game. I use my
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: brain zero percent of the time.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You're leading with your heart. You're a GM that leads
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: with his heart.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Speaking of leading with a body part, Hey, you want
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to tackle Derrick Henry, watch his belly button. He crops
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: his shirts. He makes it easy for you. I'm saying,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the body can't go where the belly button isn't going.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Quit trying to tackle people on their shoulders. Look at
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: their belly Button's.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: That's a football thing.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I had a coach that was a real Bobby Knight
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: type when I was younger.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Is throwing chairs, all right.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The main thing that I took from him was he said,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: watch the stomach. The body can't go anywhere without the stomach.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: The stomach never lies.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And actually what also happens is then the player that
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: you're guarding starts to freak out because they're like, hey,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: why do you keep looking at my belly button? And
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: they're out of their game. Now. It's like a head game,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: but it works. But all I'm saying is you can't
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: go high on Derrick Henry. He's gonna grab your helmet
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and he's gonna push your face into the ground. You
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: gotta tackle his belly button.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It'll be a really good test, and I think there
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: is something significantly leaning in our favor given what we
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: saw in the Lions game. But I want to come
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: back to that because I do you know, we do
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit of history on this show, and this
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: matchup also has one of my in addition to a crazy'stat,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite history moments. I was at Hilarities
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland, sure for a week of shows, the Great
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Hilarities opening for the Great Jake Johansen's this pretty early
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in my career, uh huh, And I sat at a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: bar all by myself and watched the twenty thirteen Ravens
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Vikings game and if you recall, we lost it. But
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that was that absurd game where there was such horrible
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: snow that the field crew had to plow the field
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: at halftime, and in the last like two minutes of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that game, everything goes nuts. Two minutes and seven seconds left,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Dennis Pitta scores a touchdown, the Ravens take the lead.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Then Boom, Vikings get the ball back. Two plays later,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Blast from the Past Toby Gerhardt Toby gearharts forty.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: One yards for a touchdown.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Ravens get the ball back, run the kickoff back for
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. They retake the lead. Then Corderyl Patterson scores
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: on a seventy nine yard touchdown pass for the Vikings.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: They take the lead, and then Marlon Brown scores on
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a nine yard touchdown with only nine seconds left. The
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Ravens win probably And I don't I haven't seen every
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: football game in the history of football.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I don't have that roll.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Of Dex like our friend Alex Schubert.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that has to be about the craziest two
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: minutes in the history of professional football. And it was
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in the snow. Guys were sliding, guys were diving.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: That's what made those plays possible, is that in the snow,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: once you get going forward, it is so hard because
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: nobody can catch you, because everybody's trying to cut and
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: make up ground on you. Now you say this is
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the greatest professional game probably in the snow, I'm gonna
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: throw one little amateur at you. Nineteen ninety one Cleveland
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Elementary School field. I remember a Fritz Skinner going to
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Sam Skinner for ninety nine yard touchdown, and then I
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: remember immediately Eric Johnson throwing a bomb to excuse me,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: but yours truly in the snow, high stepping in my
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: sore l boots for the touchdown for the win.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not saying it was the greatest professional snow
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: game of all time. I think people get really mad
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: at me for that. I'm just saying it was the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: most It's in the conversation for craziest two minutes.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, crazy is two minutes, no doubt.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Before we go to break here and then come back
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about a little bit about Baltimore and about
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the matchup. Can we just take a pause since he
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: came up in this memory for me and talk about
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Cordero Patterson that game, he gets five receptions, one hundred
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and forty one yards and a touchdown.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about him the other day.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: What an interesting, amazing career where most I think it
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: was tough to come to our team, a team that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: we were the team of a mad Rashad and the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: team of Chris Carter and the team of Randy Moss.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: So you think of why receivers in a very specific way.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And he came into the league and not only was
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: he not that type of guy, but he was so
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: before his time in terms of positionless football. It didn't
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: really catch the way it should have. I mean, he
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: goes on, he sets the NFL record for kick returns. Right,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: he's like a four time All Pro. He wins, he
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: goes and he wins a Super Bowl with Bill Belichick,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And you can't be dumb and play for Bill Belichick.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: You gotta be a hell of a football player with
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a big old football.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Brain, right of course.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And then he has this amazing second act to his
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: career where he gets to Atlanta and they go, you're
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a running back, and then everybody goes, oh, man, he's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: so good at running back.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I just in retrospect, he's probably the most underdiscussed unique vite.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Him and Percy Harvin are kind of like the great
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: what ifs for me if they'd have been in a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: different time period or gotten to do what they did
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: late early.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Patterson is the faith no More of football, right, Faith
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: no More? What is it? It's it. They were Limp
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Biscuit before Limp Biscuit, but nobody knew where to put them,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: and so they didn't get the notoriety that they should
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: have gotten. And then Limp Biscuit goes on with Fred
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Durst to like smash its and you're like, from my generation,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: you go, this is a faith no More ripoff. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: so that's the same way I feel about Patterson. Sometimes
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: people get to the level they want to get to
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: just a little bit too early, and nobody knows where
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to put them.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Imagine, yeah, that's a great point.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Imagine if Cordero Patterson, if you handed him to Kyle
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Shanahan the same year that Kyle Shanahan got Deebo Samuel. Sure,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, a giant Deebo Samuel, m hmm.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Huge.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Cordero heads on this show, chat Ny, we got to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: talk about the game your faith football team. Man, coming
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: off a big win, and let me tell you coming
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: off the Lions win, Chad, I know I know very
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: little about professional football from.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: An understanding it standpoint.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: We discussed that pretty much every week but what I've
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: been told by people that I think are very smart
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: is the Lions play a lot of man coverage. Okay,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and JJ McCarthy, who, by the way, let's just let's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: start right there and then I'll come back to this.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite things about that Lions game and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: what I'm really looking forward to in this Ravens game.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: And I know it sounds so simple, but because we
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: work for the team, Because I work for a team,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of the people I talk to during the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: game are in the building, right they're there, so they're
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: experiencing the game in this in person way and they
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: don't get to see it on TV. And I was
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: telling him just he just looked so competent and confident,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: like he looked in complete command of the hut. I'm
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: not saying there weren't mistakes, but you didn't see a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: rattle behind his eyes.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: And they didn't get compounded. That's I think that's the
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: huge difference.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Well, and you didn't, like, you know, he's a really
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: good raw, raw guy, but you also didn't even really
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: see that during the game. You just saw a quarterback
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: who went out there, got the plays in, did what
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: he was supposed to do, had good moments, had some
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: not good moments, but really controlled the game as a
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: signal caller in this body language, confident way. And for
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: me after the first two games like that put me
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: through the roof. I know that's simply simple and silly,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but it put me through the roof.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you can say simpy. People are gonna
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: know what that means.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: He simpy and silly.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Baby, I'm going to tell you what I loved. He
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: scores a touchdown right, gets into the end zone, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: then he breaks out the gritty because we got to
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: cramped up JJ on the sidelines. Just a little shout out.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I think that's good leadership. I think it's It looked
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: like while his ankle was being mended, it looked like
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: they just hooked him up to the matrix and uploaded
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: him with everything, And it was so fun where you
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: as a Vikings fan to go. This was what my
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: brain was telling me. This is what we saw, this
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: is what we heard, this is what we know it
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: can be right. This is an entire game of the
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter of the Bears game. It's an entire wire to.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Wire and it felt like I'm not here to say
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it was the greatest performance in the history of football.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: But it felt like what I think a good rookie
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: quarterback should feel like, which is enticing.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Right, and we because you're never gonna be able to
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: put your finger on the greatest, the greatest performance in
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: football because that happened at the Cleveland Elementary School in
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one. Now I'm jacked up about it. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: think that this matchup you're talking about Manda Man with
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: the Lions, Ravens go man to.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Man, Ravens go Manda Man.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying, Like, I mean, what's so
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: interesting to me is, you know, the Bears, per my
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: understanding disguise a lot of stuff on defense. Lions are
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: man demand JJ looks really comfortable. We get another man
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to man get a little comfortable there and then and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: we're only talking about the Ravens, but I want to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: jump into the future a little bit. What a fun
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: opportunity that is off in the distance where after the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Ravens it's the Bears, and you get to have this
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: side by side comparison of this guy, like here's what
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: happened Week one with this team. Now here's what it
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: looks like Week whatever with this team. And oh, by
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the way, it's inarguable that the Bears are trending the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: right direction. So it's an even harder version of what
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you saw earlier. And I think the Ravens, because of
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: what you said, present an opportunity to keep stepping in
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the right direction. And as a fan base, after the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: way everybody was feeling, man, that's the number one thing
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that has me looking forward to this game.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's going to be an exciting game,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: and I mean I'm already with my predictions.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Well I want to talk about everybody talks about JJ.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: But the couple things that I think are important crazy
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: O line combinations right here. So everybody recognized now that
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the on line is getting healthy for the most part
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: without Kelly, that they really looked the part. I thought
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it was super interesting to get Aaron Jones back healthy.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: With the on line healthy, it's a good defensive line
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: for the Lions. And when the Vikings went, what if
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: we just ran it right into the teeth of what
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you think you're good at and they're popping seven eight,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: nine thirty one yards, very very fun.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Jordan Mason we all know is an unbelievable runner. Aaron
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Jones is a different kind of runner. And when we
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: have two basically starting running backs that have different styles,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: it is tough to keep an eye on all of it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And can I throw since we're in a positive mood,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: can I throw something on the positive pile for you you.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Pro Football Focus in their dumb
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: grading system says. I don't know what the guys on
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Twitter who frees a picture and then tell you why
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: someone screwed up are saying. I don't know what anybody thinks.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But I think and I believe, Donovan Jackson isn't just
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: like a stud in the making. This dude is a
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: super stud in the making. If he's as good as
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I think he might be with Dari Sabin, as.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Good as he is.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Other man, all this talk about O line these last
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: few buckle up, buck If this dude looks as good
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: as I believe he looks, and keeps progressing in this way,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I think the O line is going to get like
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: for the first time since Stucy and Randall McDaniel and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Corey String Like I'm talking ninety eight, two thousand and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: nine with Lodhold and you know, all these guys Hutchinson
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: and McKinney.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: But I'm going even further than that.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I think this line has ninety eight potential and everybody's
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: gonna get mad at me and send me messages. But
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I'm in love with Donovan Jackson's ball game, and I
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: think it's going the right direction on.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: This is what I'm talking about with everything is what
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: we thought at the beginning of the year. Right, we
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: got defensive guys coming back, we got a running back
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: coming back, we got a quarterback coming back. We got
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: our O line looking healthy and finally stepping up to
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the potential. Oh heavens, this is what happens. I get
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: jacked up.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Let's do the last one. Then let's do the last one.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Well, we're basically handing out midweek game balls, and but
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they're not like performance game balls. They're just we're happy
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to have you back, game balls. Thank you for being here.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Game balls, dude. Let's talk about the Gink. Yes, let's
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: talk about old Andy Van Gink.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: He is my he's my prediction, he's my player prediction.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear it, and we'll do it
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: right off this. I think he is this unique combination
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of like if Brian Flores could build a guy for
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a role, he would build like he's like, that's the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: exact guy. He's exactly what the coach needs for the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: exact role. And then he's a very, very very skilled athlete.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And then I just think his football brain operates at
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a different level than everyone else.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: When you watch him, he's connecting the dots very quickly.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: You just can't knock down that many balls and not
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: be so incredibly football intelligent. You know, Hardgrave had a
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: good game. Cashman at a game. Eric Wilson was incredible.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: But I think having that dude out there doing all
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the right things and making all the right reads with
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: all that athleticism, I think it just breathed this almost
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: leash into everybody else to let them shout out to
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: all the defense who came on and go so but
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: that is what I'm pumped about. We're coming against a
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: running quarterback, like seeing Van Ginkel get another week with
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: this defense. It's like you said, are we going to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: get what we thought we were going to get quite
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a while ago? We are who we thought we are,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: who we thought we are, chatty Daddy or I thought
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: we were.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Give me, let's do predictions.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're doing game prediction. Yeah, we're doing player prediction,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and then we're doing Chad prediction because I believe is
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: this a home game?
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: It is, and I believe you will be there.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I will not, unfortunately.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but what so, here's what I love game prediction.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: It's tough because Lamar Jackson is back, yes, and uh,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: he just does turn the team into something different. Anytime
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: you have two running backs basically back there, but one
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: of them can throw the ball ninety yards, it does
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: change things. And so unfortunately this week I have to
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: go Baltimore Ravens twenty four, Minnesota Vikings seven hundred and eighteen.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a little closer than I thought you would
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: have it. Yeah, I just don't I know he's back.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I've got Baltimore at seventeen. Okay, Vikings at one hundred
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and twenty seven.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, who.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: You got for player?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Well, player, I'm going the Van gank. You're going ganky,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna I'm gonna break it down in a
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: little different way though. I'm gonna go, uh, three tackles
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: for loss and then I'm going either sack or pick.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, one of the two, So a lot of a
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: lot of impact plays.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: He's going to be in the backfield. Yeah, yeah, he's
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: gonna be in the backfield quite a bit.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go that.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I think I think we're on the verge of one
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of those justin Jefferson moments.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: M hm, where we go, Oh my god?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Did he just catch fifteen balls for one hundred and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: ninety some yards and a few touchdowns?
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I said a few? A few touchdowns. That's three, you see,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: it's a few. And so that is what I'm going with.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: What's your Chad prediction?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Chad prediction is you're not going to be able to
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: wear your Minnesota Frost stuff to this game. I understand
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: it's purple. I understand they've won the only two Cups
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: in professional women's hockey. You can't wear it this game
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: because the Ravens are also purple. So I'm predicting a
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: lot more Vikings wear at this game.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to predict that a lot of how
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I behave on next week's program will ride on whether
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: or not the joy and emotions of what happened this
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: previous week can continue.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Am I teetering because of other stuff going on? In
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: my life. Maybe, Chad, maybe and I need Oh.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Hey, so I'm surprised they didn't put spoiler alert in
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: or something like that. Of course you're teetering. I've never
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: known you not to be teetering. What are you doing?
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I'm the Teeter King.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which, by the way, I've seen that movie and
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: it's different.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: So thank you to everybody for joining from the Teeter
