  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. There'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 this was a fun one to
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: talk about a little bit, especially since we didn't have
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: to spin the wheel of Purple Punishments and it was
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: a Vikings victory.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a while since we've had to spin
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the wheel, which is okay with me honestly. And we
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: had a really good beer from Big Grove that checks
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: all of the boxes I think for both of us. Yeah, supero.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It wasn't all positive though. We did have to talk
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: a little bit about how this season has been kind
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: of rough for the Vikings, which isn't a surprise, but
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: also no Pro bowlers at all for the Vikings to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: be expected on a terrible season, but it's still not
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: fun to think about.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Still some opportunities for the Vikings to really show
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: up and show out against two divisional opponents, both of
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: which are at home, which is a good thing for
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. Maybe a possible School Hop road trip in the.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Future maybe, And unfortunately we won't see JJ McCarthy against
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the Lions, but either way it's not an all for loss.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: They might still win. But until then, go ahead and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: grab a cold one and join us for episode one
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: nineteen of the School hotsl School. All right, we want
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to say thank you to show sponsor That's Badass Wood

  Speaker 2: from That's Badass Wood Art. Really high quality, really cool.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: This one says skull on it here in the near future.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: We placed our order already. The process of ordering through
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: them was super smooth, super easy. It will be replacing
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: our really cool skull hop flag in the set that

  Speaker 2: But yeah, if you two want to order a really

  Speaker 2: you to get anything shipped to your door for Christmas.

  Speaker 2: It might be Christmas right now when you're listening to this,

  Speaker 2: living room anything like that.

  Speaker 1: So thank you. That's badass. What are Yeah? Thanks? Pretty
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: cool piece. I'm looking forward to getting the big one
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: back here for Suah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: One thing I'm really looking forward to is, first off,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: purple punishments. We do not have to do it. This
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: week the Vikings beat the Giants, while preseason predicted a
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Giant's win over the Giants and they pulled it out,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: So boring or not, a win is a win, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we don't have to do the purple punishments. But what
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to here is our beer for today. Evan,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: what's the beer today?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: The beer is called Redheaded Stranger. It's an American red
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: ipa made by Big Grove Brewery. We love Big Grove.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of their beers, and I think
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this is a good time to remind people that we
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: only drink Iowa beer on our show. Now, that's not
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to say that we don't drink other beers outside of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the show very much enjoy other beers. When we're sitting
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: here and we're recording our episode, Iowa beer is all
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: we drink. This is episode one nineteen. We've had a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: lot of really good Iowa bears in our show's history,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and this is one that Big Grove tells us on
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the can here. It's a limited time release and it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: right in my wheelhouse, right in my category of beer.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: We had to look this up because I don't think
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: either of us are Willie Nelson fans. But Redheaded Stranger
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is the name of an album and the title song
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on that album by Willie Nelson from way back in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nineteen seventy five. Yeah, I think there might
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: be another, maybe a reason he named it that album,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. I couldn't find anything other than
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Willie Nelson when I looked up the Redheaded Stranger. But yeah,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that's apparently its namesake, and it says they have a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: little description here, it's a tribute to a true American outlaw.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Redheaded Stranger is made with a hefty dose of Chinook
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and Amarillo hops. This beer is brewed as a limited release,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: so you'd better saddle up and get moving before it
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: rides off into the sunset. Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I'm really excited for this one. Yeah, that's that's about
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: all I can say. Uh, it's not often that you
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: find a brand new beer that I haven't had, especially
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: from Big Grove. We're big fans of Big Grove and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: typically we've we've had most of everything they put out,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: so it's always fun when we see it can that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: we don't recognize before.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I can smell this already, and you know what it
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: reminds me of. It reminds me of the red beer
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that we brewed oh okay with Forest, So I'm excited
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to try.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Oh you know what I saw at the store recently,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: speaking of Big Grove beers that we don't see all
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the time, I saw Birch the Bear, Birch the Brown Yeah. Yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: well we call.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: It Birch the Brown Bear. I think it's officially Birch
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Bear it is, but but yeah, that's uh, that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Brown stores right now. So pretty exciting time for beer.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Skull the Skull Love beer. Yep, this is what I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: wanted a beer right here.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really nice. It's got like the almost the citrusiness,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the happiness of an ipa, but then blended really well
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: with that red that amber flavor as well. Yeah, it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: super good. I haven't had it before. I'm really glad
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that we tried it this time, and I'm kind of
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: sad it's a limited run because this is super good.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: It does remind me of that hoppy amber that we brewed.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Do we have one of those bottles on set here?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It was our first beer that we brewed for the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: show with front of the show for us that happy
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: American nail or happy amber.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I forget what we need happy American amber there. It is.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so very similar. But I mean I love Forest
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and he's a heck of a brewer. This one might
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: be a hair leaps and bounds better, you know, just
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a little bit better than our school hot beer, but
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit different styles. This one's super super good.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I like the tanginess. Are you getting that a little bit?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a little tanginess to it. It's smooth though,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: going down, like just has a nice clean finish. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: like it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: This is what I wanted to be here. Yeah, six
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: point eight percent. So starting to get on the you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: higher to mid to higher range. Nothing crazy, full disclosure.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: We are recording. We're both on a little bit of
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: a Christmas break right now, so recording during the day,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: not on our usual Monday nights. But yeah, we don't
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: have work to get to or anything like that, so
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: we'll be perfectly fine. But yeah, I really like this one.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to give a full opinion after a
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: couple more.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, should be good. We can give a full opinion
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: on the Vikings win over the Giants. We watched most
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of it together, which was fun. We actually got our
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: kids together and played and then we took them out
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: for ice cream afterwards. Yep, because the Viking's won, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that's the tradition in your house. So my household, every
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Vikings win, my kids get ice cream. I think you
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: your household kind of follows that a little bit. It's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not a steadfast for you guys, where it is for us.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: If they pay attention, which they don't always pay attention,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: then if the Vikings are winning, they'll they'll ask me, like, dad,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: does this mean we get ice cream? Well, if they win. Yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: My kids are so much in tune to that rule
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that if I pull up like a highlight video on YouTube,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: like on a Tuesday, especially, my five year old will
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: walk up and be like, yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So the Vikings are winning. Do we get ice creamed? Buddy?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: This is the game from like two days ago, like
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: or this game was when I was a child, you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: like this. They're not playing right now, so it doesn't count.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Have to be a live game. Uh yeah, we all
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: got ice cream. We kind of went all out too.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: We went to one of the froyo spots where you
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: put in all.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: The mixic mix and all your stuff. So that was good.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: But also I feel like I always forget. Are you
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: in the camp of once you get to a certain
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: point you just lose out for a better draft pick,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: or are you like me where it's like we get
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: so few games every year, let's just win them all.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: You win everyone we can, whether or not it helps
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: it hurts the draft.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I'm on the other side of the coin for me.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You okay? And actually I added a reason to that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Janick Eckhart had an interesting tweet. I think I can't
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday. Maybe I saw it this morning.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I don't remember, but he said something along the lines
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of like, if the Vikings finished last in the division,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: here are their opponents for next year, and if they
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: finish third in the division, here are their opponents for
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: next year. And the opponents if the Vikings finished fourth
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: third is are much more favorable at least based on
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: how those teams performed this year then playing the teams
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that they would play if they finished in third. If
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you don't die on these, maybe you can do you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: want to read the tweet. So this tweet makes sense,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and it is in favor of those who say just
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: just lose out. But it's also kind of not set
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in stone because the other teams haven't been decided yet
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: either as far as you know, third or fourth place
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: in each division. But at least he tweeted this out
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: two days ago, and at least at the time he
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: was saying, if the Vikings finished third in the division,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: this is if they win on Christmas and beat the Packers,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and the week or two after that, then next year,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the other fourth place teams that they could be facing
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: would be the Giants, the Titans, and the Cardinals.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Sorry I said that wrong. If they win on Christmas.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: The third place teams that they would be going up
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: against would be the Commanders, Colts and forty nine Ers
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: or the Rams, depending on who finishes where. And then
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the fourth place teams if they do finish fourth place
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: in the division, that would be the Giants, Titans, and Cardinals.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: So there's a little bit of caveat to this. Every
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: year is a little bit different. The twenty twenty four
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings, other teams would look at the Vikings on
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: their schedule and say, man, Sam Donald's playing well. Justin Jefferson,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: that's a tough, tough game, and I really I don't
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: want to play that team next year. Well, teams in
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five looking at the Vikings on their schedule
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: have pretty much for the most part been like, oh,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: all right, that's a win. You know, we got it,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: so I don't expect it, but we very well could
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: be looking at the Giants next year saying, man, Jackson
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Dart really took a turn. He took a turn for
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the better. That team is tough. The Cardinals are really
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: looking good. Marvin Harrison Junior finally figured it out, like
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: he's really looking good. Like every year, teams are different
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: than they were the last year. So sure does it
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: make sense now to say, like no, no, no, lose
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: out so we can have the Giants, Titans, and Cardinals
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: on our schedule because they're terrible this year, next year
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: they could be way different. So I could see that mindset,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It's all kind of a wash. It just it added
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a little fuel to the fire for me of why
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: it might be not the worst thing in the world
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: for the Vikings to lose a few games to position
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: themselves better for next year in a season that's already lost.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Not only will you maybe get a slightly higher draft
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: pick out of the deal, you might get more favorable
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: matchups in your games, and all of that could lead
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to better success next year. Right Yeah, So you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: if you can lay the groundwork for a more successful
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: season right now next year, then why not do that?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, why not put Max Brosmer in and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: let him develop a little bit, let JJ McCarthy get
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: fully healthy, and put JJ McCarthy like literally next to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Koc the whole game and like have Koc, you know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: break down everything that he's seeing, everything that he's looking for,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: everything that he wants out of JJ. I don't know
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that won't happen. I know what won't happen. I know
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the Vikings are going to try to win these next
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: two games because they have the ability to play spoiler
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: for the line and the Packers. Really they can knock
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the Lions out of the playoffs. I think if they
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: beat them on Christmas.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, either they knock them out or they're a part
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: of the equation that knocks them out.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I think the Lions have a pretty major uphill battle
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to climb to make it to the playoffs, and I
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: think winning both of their games is a part of
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: that equation for the Lions.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And then I think the Packers too, Like it's all
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: about positioning for the Packers right now, like they could
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: be anywhere from I don't think the Packers. I don't
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: think the Bears or the Packers will be the NFC's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: number one seed. But you're talking division winner versus playing
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you know, on the road wild card weekend, So the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Vikings have some stuff to play for against rivalry teams.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: The Lions are still very much in contention right now, yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I think. But I think a loss in a few
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: days against our Vikings would pretty much seal the deal
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: for them that, like, like you said, the Vikings might
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: not be solely responsible for that. But yeah, so all
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that to say, I'm it kind of makes sense to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: me just from a like futuristic standpoint, lose out get
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a better draft pick, maybe a slightly better schedule versus
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: now just fight for the win and you know, deal
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with what you get later. Yeah, I don't know.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: We do have a little bit of breaking news here,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: which you know, we're a pre recorded podcast, so everybody
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: listening to this already knows. But Alec Lewis just tweeted
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: out here that Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy is out for
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Thursday's game, Christmas Day game against the Lions. Apparently they
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: got some more scans done. He says, further imaging shows
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a very very small hairline fracture, doesn't think it will
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: require surgery recovery, similar to a bone bruise, and then
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: he finishes off saying Max Brozemer will start. So yeah,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I guess there we go. I was kind of hoping
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: we would get that news as we recorded here, so
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: that we weren't immediately outdated here as a podcast. But
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: that's that's kind of a bummer for me. We can
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: talk about it more here a little bit later, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy was for me showing some things and developing
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: and you know, positive movement, even if it was a
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: lot of you know, trickery and playbook mini manipulation from KOC.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: But either way, I think that also showed development for
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: KOC too. So I'm kind of bummed that we're not
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: gonna see J McCarthy at least on Christmas Day. Hopefully
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: he's he's good enough to start against the Packers, but ultimately,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, the season's lost anyways. So Max Brozemer time
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: all all day against the Lions in Minnesota.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Well, let's not move on too quickly from the game
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: against the Giants, because there were some good things to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: point out. I think we do roses, thorns and game balls.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Let's get into those, and then I think we can
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: spend some more time talking about the quarterback talker, because
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that just continues to be the thread that we weave
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: in and out of every conversation. Is the quarterback controversy,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: quarterback conundrum, whatever you want to call it. That's been,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that's been like all we've talked about this all one
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and nineteen.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: That's the most important position in sports and the Vikings.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Since the school hop has been alive, the Vikings quarterback
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: position has had something to talk about.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: No consistency, really.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Well, there's always been a talker. It's Kirk Cousins. It's Oh,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: he's injured. What do we do now?
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Do they sign him? Do they let him go? Oh?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: They just signed Sam Darnold. Do they still draft a quarterback? Oh,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: they just drafted a guy. You know, We've always had
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: something to talk about for the quarterback position, which is fun.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: It kind of sucks in the moment, but it's kind
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: of fun to give us something to talk about.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah every week. Well, let's talk about JJ first. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: will start with a rose, and my rose is that
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy played well. Now. I know his stat line
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't look great. His QBR was meh, Yeah, but I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: think that one interception really wasn't his fault. I think
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: you could make that argument. Yeah, I would tend to
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: agree with you.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: It was a fluky play, but I mean it hit
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Jalen Naylor in the hands. Yeah, bounced off, but he
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: should have either caught that or no matter what, it
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: was a heads up played by the defender and not
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: entirely JJ McCarthy's fault. So and also I'm going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: cut you off, but just to add to that point,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: McCarthy had a beautiful pass to Jordan Addison on the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: first drive in the end zone. Would have been a touchdown,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: but Jordan Adison went up for it, caught it, fell
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: to the ground, and it popped out. So that should
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: have been a twenty ish yard touchdown for JJ McCarthy
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: talking about an interception that wasn't his fault and it
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: dropped touchdown pass. That also, he did everything a quarterback
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: should do to make a touchdown pass. So those two
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: things would have flipped the narrative crazy on JJ McCarthy
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: this game.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think you've already mentioned it, and I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: would just add on that. We're starting to see the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: progression of JJ McCarthy. We're starting to see the growth.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: And just when we thought like oh okay, like okay,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: we can whatever the season's lost, you threw in it
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and you threw a pick six. It is what it is,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and whatever, not a big deal anymore. We're not trying
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to win these games to make it into the playoffs
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: or get a number one seed or anything. We were
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: just seeing progress and that was great. So my roes
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and thorn are connected. So I'm just going to continue
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: on with my thorn and then I'll let you do yours.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: The thorn was that he got hurt. I think you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: get two more games with that kid, and then you
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: have an entire offseason with KOC and with Josh McCown
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and whoever else to really iron out all of those imperfections,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: all of the little mechanics, all of that. Boy, I
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: think week one next year we could have seen a
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: really great JJ McCarthy product on the field, for lack
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of a better word. But now now I'm thinking that,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and here we go again talking about quarterback Carousels. I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: think that could be a question mark for next year.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Now he's got a history of injury, Like he sat
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: out an entire season because he was injured, and now
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: he's sat out what six games including this one, this
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: upcoming one against the Lions do injury this year?
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: This game against the Giants was his ninth game, So
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: how many there's seven and eight that's fifteen games. So yeah,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: that's six games he wasn't playing this year, seven including
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Christmas and then potentially another an eighth game if he doesn't.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Not going to go against the Packers. So you're in
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: this really weird spot as an organization, like, well, do
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: we keep riding with this kid, do we go full
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: send with him even though we know he's not playing
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: great and he's hurt all the time, or do we
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: explore the market. And I mean there are I think
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: there are endless names that the Vikings could explore.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and we can get into that too, but
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: there's you know, varying levels of what exploring the market means.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Is it breaking the bank and going for Joe Burrow
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: or is it you know, making sure you get a
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: guy on the level of like what we thought Sam
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Darnold was when he you know, signed with a team
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: two years ago something like that. But we can, we
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: can dive a little bit more into that. Good Roses
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and Thorns, My rose is Justin Jefferson finally looked like
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson again.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I think I heard on KFA ands fan line after
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: the game, Ron Johnson, who's on there, alluded to something that, Yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the media has loved talking about this pure progression reads
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: for quarterbacks. Recently, Kirk Cousins had a really cool two
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: minute you know video that was, you know, bouncing around
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: for a little bit about talking about what that means
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: in pure progression rather than reading a defense, you know, solely.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Ron Johnson said it seemed like Justin Jefferson
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: was moved around in that pure progression. I don't know
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: if he was always the one, you know, the number
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: one read and then you know he's not open yet enough,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: or if they the Vikings moved him to typically like
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the second or third read, and so you give him
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: a little bit more time to for JJ or the
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: quarterback whoever it is, to read a couple of guys,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: and then by the time he gets to Jefferson maybe
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: he's open. But either way, Justin Jefferson kind of started
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: looking like the old JJ again. He had six catches
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: for eighty five yardards on eight targets, and he caught
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: good passes from both JJ McCarthy and Max Brosmer. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: now he's what eighty three yards away or something like
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: that from getting to a thousand, which I mean, I
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: think with two games left, that's definitely possible. I'd be
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: pretty actually surprised if he doesn't hit that thousand yard
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: mark unless he like twists his ankle on the first
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: knock on wood the first play of the game on
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Christmas or something. But yeah, I fully expect him to
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: get to a thousand. It is really nice to see
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson look good on the field again, all the
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: while saying the exact right things off the field. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: you know, aside from coming out of the locker room
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: what against the Seahawks without talking to the media, that's
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: about the only thing he has done wrong in the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: last few weeks. So I still love the guy, really
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: glad he's a king, and I think he'll hit a
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: thousand this year. You already did your thorne. My thorn
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: is also about another receiver and I kind of mentioned
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: it a few minutes ago, but Jordan Addison dropping that
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: touchdown pass. He's had some drops this year. It's it's
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: not great. He had two catches for twenty six yards
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: with a long of twenty He was only targeted three times.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: There's only so many times you can drop a ball
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: before you lose the confidence of the quarterback of the coaches.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Jordan Addison is a guy who could be, you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: one hundred million dollar receiver. He could be a wide
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: receiver one on lots of teams in the league, but
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: this year's he's been dropping the ball. He's you know,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: he was suspended for three games to start the year.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: He looked really good in training camp and preseason.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: But if you can't.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Catch the ball, it doesn't matter how open you are,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: how well you adjust your route to be in the
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: right spots catch the ball. You just got to come
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: down with it. So him dropping that touchdown pass, it
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: made him look bad. It skewed JJ McCarthy's stats to
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: look bad. It was just really rough. And I guess
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: in a game that you win if you only have
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a few negatives, like that's that's okay. But that was
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: a pretty big negative. So that was my major thorn
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: of the game.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's a guy, honestly, I could I could
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: see the vikings moving on from him. You have the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: off field problems that you hoped would go away after
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the three game suspension, but then they went to Europe
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and they didn't go away, and it sounds like maybe
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it could have been worse than it was, Like he
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: just missed a team meeting allegedly because he was doing
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: some sight seeing. Yeah, who knows what that means at
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: all hours of the night, right, And yeah, his on
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: field production has been good and he kind of stepped
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: up a little bit when Justin Jefferson was struggling. But
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just he's got he's due four
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: million dollars next year.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Well, he's still on his rookie deal, and I think
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: next year is going to be will that be his
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: fourth year?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: So I believe so, But I don't know.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I think the team would have to make the decision
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: pretty quick, like soon after the end of this season,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: within a couple of months here, if they're going to
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: pick up his fifth year option, because as a first
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: round pick, he gets that fifth year option.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like on the field, yeah, up until this year,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: it was almost a no brainer, like, yeah, you pick
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: that up. But with the drops, with the off the
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: field stuff, I don't they may decline to pick that up.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: That'll be an interesting thing to keep an eye on
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: because I think talent wise, there's no question he's good enough.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: But I mean, as a receiver, you just can't drop
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: the ball. Unfortunately, you can get arrested, you can you know,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: pay the fines, you can get all the speeding tickets
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and stuff. But I mean, if you can't catch the ball,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: there's no reason to be on the field.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I think he's a good trade bait. I don't think
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: cutting him, releasing him doesn't make sense. He's gonna be
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: a hit of four point three million dollars. Yeah, So
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I think Quacy can dangle him out there as a
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: juicy trade for somebody who needs And we've said it before,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: he's a wide receiver one on a lot of other teams.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe somebody out there, like I think of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Carolina who doesn't have the receiving depth, or I don't know.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: There's probably a bunch of other teams that it makes
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: sense for, but I don't know. I'd like to see
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: him go, honestly and see what else the Vikings can do,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and that might open up more opportunities for Justin Jefferson
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: next year, you know, if it's him and somebody else
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that's not as high profile as now.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've got other guys in the room. There's
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Ty Felton, there's Joshawn Jones. They're Speedy Naylor, who's also
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: dang it, I did it. Jalen Naylor who's I think
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: he's about to be an unrestricted free agent. Yeah, that
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: wide receiver room could look a lot different next year
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: than it does right now. Excuse my voice here, a
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: little bit of a flu game right now, but Evan,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: who gets your game ball for this Giant Vikings game?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like I should go back and see how
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: many times I've done this this year, But it's probably
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: been a lot. It's probably at least like four or
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: five maybe I don't know, six'. Seven, SORRY i had
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: to do. That Blake, Cashman, yeah gets a game. Ball
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the dude just continues to come, out ball out every
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: time he, plays leads the team in tackles every, week
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and leads not just the, team but leads both teams
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: in tackles every game he, plays and he like basically
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: doubles the amount of tackles that anybody else. Has the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: dude just has a nose for the ball and gets,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: involved and he's he's the green dot on. Defense he's
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the quarterback of the. Defense when he's. In we see
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the difference that it makes because when he was, out
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: what did we say he missed four?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Games, yeah he was ON ira for the four games
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: there earlier on this season.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: THAT i think those are the four worst games for
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the defense this. Season so that guy just continues to show,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: up show, out does his. Job he gets all the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: game balls for the rest of The he's gonna get
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a game ball for. Me, YEAH i mean.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: WE i think you AND i spent a little bit
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: of time last week talking about how koc used the
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: term like the the intention of building the, roster and
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: he's a massive the probably the biggest piece on. Defense,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: yeah you. Can you can Talk greynard And ben Game,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: cool you can Talk Harrison, smith BUT i think this
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: defense begins and ends With Blake. Cashman AND i know
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: we looked it up last, week BUT i don't. REMEMBER
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: i don't think he's set to be a free agent
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: after this. Season let me let me just double check really.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: QUICK i think he's signed through twenty twenty Six. Cashman,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: YES i think he's on the roster for twenty. Seven,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: well that's a void. Year so, yeah he's definitely signed
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: through twenty twenty, six and then twenty twenty seven and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight are void years on his, contract so
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: he'll be a free or he's set to be a
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: free agent after next. Season so that's still. Good he's
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: like twenty nine right, Now he'll be thirty next. Year
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: he's definitely the piece of this defense and one that
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: you may not know exactly why the defense isn't playing
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: very well when he's not on the, field but you
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: definitely notice that they're not playing up to the level
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: they should be when he's not on the. Field so,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: YEAH i definitely agree with. It he could be an
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: overall TEAM mvp of this year on a year where
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot of bright, spots he's one of the.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: BRIGHTEST i think for my game ball this, Week i'm
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Going Aaron. JONES i think he missed a chunk in
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: the middle of the game because his, ankle but he
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: came back in and in that second half ONCE jj
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: McCarthy was, Down, Yeah Max, brosmer he came. In he
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: was seven for, nine fifty two, yards played, Okay he
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: had a really good ball To Justin, jefferson played, okay
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: and you, know commanded the. Offense it's one Reason i'm
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: not super, concerned you, know about the level of play
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: being way different On christmas With brozemer in there rather than.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: McCarthy But Aaron, jones he only came in and helped
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: out his, team helped out his, quarterback made sure the
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: offense kept going an average of four yards of, carry which,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: isn't you, know A hall Of fame, Worthy but for one,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: game for this, game when The vikings needed, It Aaron
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: jones came, in especially With Jordan. Mason sounds Like Jordan
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: mason On christmas is not going to be OR i
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: think they're saying he's still feeling.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: It truth be.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Told kevin, O'Connell i think is literally at this moment
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: having his press, Conference so we're getting a little bit
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: of news Like Ryan, KELLY i guess he's out this.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Week he may be. Center Ryan. Kelly he may be
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: done a sixth. CONCUSSION i don't know if that's been
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: confirmed yet or.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Not he may be.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: DONE i Think KOs said That Jordan mason is still feeling.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: It so it's just it's tough when you have shut
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: such a short. Turnaround mason might be. Out So Aaron,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: jones if he can, go he's only going to be
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: helping this team out so much more, so all you,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: know for his grit and his ability to come in
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: and keep the offense. Going he gets my game ball
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: AND i think he got an actual game. BALL i
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: think KOs literally Said Aaron, JONES i love you not
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: LIKE i love, you, man LIKE i love you like So,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: yeah THAT'S.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I think he's.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Deserving and this may be his last couple of games
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: with The vikings. Too, yeah it'll be interesting to, SEE
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: i think you commented when we were watching the, game
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: he had like a basically an.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Entire roll of tape on his. Goal like the dude
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to stay in the. GAME i didn't want to come,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: out and just kept telling the trainers on the, sideline
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: just put more tape on. It it'll be, Fine just
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: put more tape on. It and we saw him like
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: hobbling around after a few, plays and we're, like, man
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: he needs to just come out of the. Game but
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he put his head down and fought through. It he
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: got a big first down there at the end of the,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: game IF i remember, Right, yeah kind of sealed the.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Deal was it not even a? RECEPTION i think was
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: that a run or a? CATCH i think it was a. Run, Okay,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: yeah he only had two catches for eight. Yards but,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: yeah it was funny because he he did look extremely taped.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: UP i, THINK i tweeted and said it looks like
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: he's got casts. On, yeah like, well and even liked
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: it out right before that kind of game ceiling first
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: down that he ran, for he was. Hobbling he's like,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: limping like going to the huddle and, stuff and it's, like,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: man just, dude we're gonna. Win, anyways just come.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Out of the. Game and no he. Didn't and then
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: he got up and he did his, huge you, know
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: his big celebration, afterwards and they're, like all, right that's
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: what you. Wanted don't hurt yourself, anymore.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Please kind of a. Bummer he was ON ir two
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: for for quite a. WHILE i think he had a
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: pretty decent hamstring.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Injury this.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Year he's only got four hundred and ninety five rushing,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: yards and REALLY i didn't realize it one rushing. TOUCHDOWN
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: i thought his stats were just a little bit better than.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: That BUT i can't complain about him as A. Viking
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: he's he's only ever impressed. ME i was kind of
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: wondering why The vikings signed him when they did before last,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: season BECAUSE i THINK i said it on.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: The show a few.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Times Aaron, jones he's about to be, Thirty, LIKE i
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: don't expect anything from, HIM i, THINK i, said, like
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: if he gets one one hundred yard rushing, game Like
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: i'll be super. Happy other than, that, LIKE i don't
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: really expect, anything but he has gone over and above my.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Expectations he's really been a bright another bright. SPOT i,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Said cashman was one of the few bright. SPOTS i
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Think Aaron jones when he's been on the field has
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: been another one of those few bright spots for this.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Team so, yep that's why he gets my game ball this.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Week, yeah both well. DESERVING i think of a game
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: ball for. Sure anything else we want to cover on
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the win over The giants At. MetLife i think it's
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: kind of a bummer that this any other. Year IF
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: jj McCarthy was healthy and played the way he, did you,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: know against The, commanders against The cowboys and then up
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: until he got knocked out of the game against The,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: giants if he just was at that level all, season.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: The offense would have done just. Enough and then this,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: DEFENSE i don't know where it ranks statistically in the
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: history Of vikings OR nfl, defenses but this defense feels
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: like an elite. Defense if you look at the season
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: The vikings have been in just about every. Game, yeah
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: they're wins and losses aren't where you want him to,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: be but it has not been for of defensive. Performance
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: AND i think that's that's really why this team has been.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Good there when they've been, good that they've been.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: GOOD i think.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Their worst points they've allowed against The chargers was they you,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: know The chargers scored thirty seven. POINTS i don't remember
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: how many of those were given up by The vikings.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Offense but, YEAH i mean this defense just consistently goes out,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: there does what they've they've been doing all. Year had a,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: yeah a couple couple shutouts this year or, no just
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the one. Shutout it's just that it was right after
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: The vikings offense got shut. Out but all that to,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: say this defense just did really good against The giants as. Well,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Again Jackson dart threw for three three yards like that's
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: that's just them not trying to pass the ball against The.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Vikings Jalen redman he's Got he's an interior defensive lineman
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: who played in THE ufl two seasons.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Ago he's got six sacks this.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Year Blake cashman just gritting it out and. PLAYING i
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: think if The vikings have Any Pro bowl, snubs which
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: we can kind of talk about This Blake. Cashman he's
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: probably the, biggest if any the biggest case for being
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: A Pro bowl snub for The vikings this. Year this
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: defense has been playing very well and hopefully we get
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: at least another year Of Brian.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Flores, yeah The vikings are easily a top five team
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: defensively on the, season and that's RUSH epa per play
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: allowed drop BACK epa play per play. Allowed the best
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: defense in the League's. Houston second best is The rams
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: by the, numbers and then after that it's The, vikings The,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: browns The, eagles The, bills The, jags The. Seahawks they're
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: all kind of right in that mix. Clusteria BUT i
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: think The vikings defensively are better than a lot of
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: those other. TEAMS i don't know about The, rams don't
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: know about The, texans BUT i can DEFINITELY i would
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: feel comfortable putting The vikings at third or fourth best
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: in the league to this point on the.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Season, well and even in This giants. Game, yeah The
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: giants scored thirteen, points but remember Seven the only touchdown
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: The giants scored was that fumble recovery By Tyler nuban
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: for a. Touchdown The vikings defense only allowed six. Points,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: crazy just absolutely. Crazy so AND i know The giants
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: are two and, thirteen you, know they're not the cream
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: of the, crop but they're still AN nfl. Team they
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: still had A pro. BOWLER i think The, vikings The,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: jets and The saints were the only teams to not
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: have a initially Voted pro, Bowler SO i mean there's
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: still The giants are still AN nfl. Team so all
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: that to, say The vikings defense this game and all
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: season has been doing. WELL i did think it was
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: fun THAT. Cj ham this, week you, know week what
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: was it, sixteen had more rushing yards Than Jamier. Gibbs
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: that's pretty.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Funny AND.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Cj ham had three rushing. Yards so that tells you
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: all you need to know about The lions and their
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: game against The.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Steelers but all those fantasy owners out there who Had
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Jamiir gibbs and they're playing in the playoffs right, now they're, like,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: man come, ON i bet What Jamiir gibbs probably only
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: got like one point in.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: FANTASY i, mean, YEAH i don't know his full fantasy,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: points and that's only RUSHING i don't know if he
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: had any receiving, stats but, yeah it. Is it is
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: fun to think that our you, know Tenured vikings full
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: back had more rushing yards than A Pro bowl.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Level he might have even made The Pro. BOWL i
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: don't know running back for The.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Lions and the only other THING i have for This
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: giants game Is Will record continues to be perfect on this.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Season and, YES i know he technically missed, two but
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: those aren't his fault when the camera wire knocks the
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: ball out of. Play and that's my official. OPINION i
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Think i've said it back and forth a few times
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: whether or NOT i Think Will record actually hit the camera.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Wire i'm going for it from now on in my, Head,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: cannon regardless of the. Truth maybe it's one THING i
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: can Ask god in heaven one, day what was the
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: actual thing that? Happened but as far As i'm, concerned
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: the wire interfered with him twice this, year so he's
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: perfect on the. Season he was three for three with
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: an extra point made against The.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Giants coming back To gibbs really, QUICK i looked it.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Up gibbs actually scored twenty twos in fantasy this. Week
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: he had a really good receiving. Game he had sixty
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: six receiving. Yards he only had he had ten, Receptions
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: so in A ppr, league that's ten points right, there
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: plus sixty six receiving, yards so six point six yards
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: per catch on. Average he only rushed the ball for two.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Yards he had a receiving touchdown for six, points so
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: he still had a pretty good. Game SO.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Cj ham's entire, CAREER i guess never. MIND i was gonna, say, like,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: oh Maybe Jamior gibbs had more receiving yards in that
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: game Than CJ's C. J hamm has had in his entire,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Career but, no that's not true at.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: ALL.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Cj hamm for his career receiving six hundred and seventy five, yards,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: yeah and two. TOUCHDOWNS i would have guessed way less
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: just because he's a, fullback you. Know, Yeah but how
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: many TIMES i guess now THAT i think about, it
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: have we seen like he was like the dump off
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: option For Kirk, Cousins and it's like All Kirk cousins
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: does is dump it. Off his best year receiving was
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen with one hundred and forty nine yards and a.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Touchdown so, yeah, SORRY i was about to put some
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: shame ON. C. J ham's name, jokingly something you did
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: on episode one about when you THOUGHT. C. J hamm
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: would get cut three years. Ago so he's still, kicking
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: so still, here he's Still. Viking he'll be he'll be
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: A viking for. LIFE i THINK i think he'll he'll
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: be done. Soon and do you THINK. Cj ham has
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: more receiving yards in his career or rushing yards in his?
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Career m? M he said six hundred something receiving, yards?
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Right how many seasons has he? Played?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: This twenty twenty five is his ninth.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Season ninth. Season, Okay i'm still gonna say rushing, yards
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: but marginally.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: More so you THINK. Cj ham has had more rushing
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: yards than receiving. Yards SO i already said he had
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: six hundred and seventy five receiving yards with two touchdowns
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: in you, know the same amount of. Time he has
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: scored five rushing, touchdowns one of them coming just a
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks, ago, right and that is all off
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: of one hundred and eighteen rushing. Year really, yeah, wow
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: that's actually. Crazy that's that's, Insane BUT i guess it
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: makes sense to do he probably gets more opportunities as
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: a dump off receiving, option you, know than a, designed
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: planned rushing, option because that's what it would have to
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: be if he's rushing the balls like it was designed
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: for him to run the, ball unless he's picking up
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: a fumble or. Something but, yeah this has been your C.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: J hamm segment of the.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Podcasts that just makes me, THINK i forget what game it.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: WAS i don't know if it was The bears game
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: or The packers. Game it certainly wasn't The seahawks, game
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: but there was a The vikings went for it on
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: third and, one didn't get, it went for it again
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: on fourth and one in the red zone or near
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: the red, zone and they passed the ball on fourth and.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: One THEN i think something bad. HAPPENED i can't remember
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: if it was an interception or, whatnot but like we
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: came back on the episode and we're just, like run
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: the ball in that, situation and then if you don't,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: convert as long as there's no, fumble it's basically as
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: good as a. Punt you pin them deep in their own. Territory.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Whatever the interception kind of flipped the. Game, AGAIN i
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: forget what game this was but.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: This whole season has been a blur of just disappointment
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: and anger and but pro vanity at THE.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Tv in that, situation why wouldn't you give it TO.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Cj ham and allow him to bully himself forward for one?
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Yard and that's what they did a couple of weeks
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: ago against, well here we, can we can look this.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Up it was Against. Philly, No philly was a long time.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Ago his, Touchdown, oh it was Against. Dallas he rushed
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: it for one yard probably on third or fourth and
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: one for the. TOUCHDOWN i think that was fourth, down
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: and they like faked a pitch to somebody else and
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: handed it off to. Him but LIKE i, said this
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: whole season's been a blur of you, know misery and,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: pain much like most Other viking. Seasons but, yeah we
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: are C.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: J hamm.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: FANS i like to Give evan grief for having that you,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: know hot predict two years ago THAT cjm might not
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: make the, team but that was more like he's a
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: full back and The vikings might not employ a. Fullback
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: we are both ham, FANS i. Think on the something
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: we've mentioned a few times recently since one of the
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: other players quit on the team there's a short list
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: of jerseys THAT i think you can confidently wear yourself
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: and buy for your kids of guys that you, know
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: they're just Good, Vikings they're good. People you just you
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: want to support them and rep their.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: NAME. C.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: J ham is absolutely at the top of the. List
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: that might be a good, segment maybe an offseason, segment
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: like All Time vikings who they're golden, jerseys you, know
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: you can wear them. Forever Robert smith might be. One you,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Know tarkentin might be, one you, KNOW.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: I, mean we got to have a full. Episode BUT
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: i think is definitely on that.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: LIST a little spoiler for a segment that we haven't
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: even really planned for three months from, now who.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Knows let's talk about the fact that No vikings were
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: voted into The Pro. Bowl, yeah what the, Heck but
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: it just seems kind of par for the, course though
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily like after what you just, said like
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: this season has been, disappointing it's been, painful it's been
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: hard to. Watch, well that's just kind of the cherry
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: on top or the non cherry on, top, Right like
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: it just it's. Stinks the whole thing has been, terrible
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: and now we won't get to watch our guys play
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: touch football In february or dodgeball or whatever they. Do, now.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Let's look up the, list and JUST i won't read
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: off the whole, list because if you guys want to
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: know who's in The Pro, bowl you can just google it. Yourself,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: because LIKE i, said the argument for, oh if A
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: viking would have should have made it, in who would
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: you take? OUT i think the one guy both of
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: us would really advocate for this year would have Been Blake.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Cashman there may be one or two other, GUYS i
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: don't think just based off, Stats, Yeah Justin jefferson is
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the best wide receiver in THE. Nfl BUT i, mean
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: if you're just looking off stats this, year, YEAH i,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: agree he's not A pro, bowler and unfortunately as a,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: receiver that's you, know it's not fully up to. You but, Quarterback,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: no The vikings don't have A Pro bowl quarterback this.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Year running back, NO i mean full. Back that's just
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: kind of a popularity contest. Position, anyways it's us check
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: this year for The, niners no wide receivers for The.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Vikings i'm just kind of going down and looking at
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: who did make it.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: In, No.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: TITANDS i think, eventually maybe like A Donovan jackson who
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: has played really well on the offensive, line maybe he
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: could be A Pro. BOWLER i think if you have
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: a year Where christian.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Dar saw is fully.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Healthy he's never made it, yet BUT i think if
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: you get a season of Healthy, darisaw even this year
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: when he was, IN i think he played pretty. Well
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: people were upset that he wasn't in and you, know
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: missed a lot of, time and it's a knee for
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: a guy that he needs a good. Base BUT i
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: think eventually he'll get. In Ryan kelly, unfortunately you, know
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: he might be. Done SO i don't think he's deserving
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: of A Pro bowl honor this. Year on the, DEFENSE i, mean,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: YEAH i think you could make a case For Jalen,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: redmond BUT i don't think he has the name recognition
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: yet to be able to be voted. In you, Know
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: grenard And Van ginkel both missed some time this, year
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: and their numbers weren't off the, charts you, know compared
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: to other. GUYS i don't think any outside linebackers should
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: be taken away just for. Them, yeah that's it's probably.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: FAIR i don't think there was like an obvious crazy
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: snub for The vikings this, year at least for. Me
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: what do you think any that absolutely should have been
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: in that didn't get.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: IN i think your, SPECIALISTS i think Uh, De, paula,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: right And record all are probably. DESERVING i, Mean reikerd
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: other than those two missed field goals because of the,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: wires is basically. Perfect we're gonna say he's. Perfect Ryan
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: right has kind of had a. Resurgence he WAS i
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: think he had a down year last year or two years,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: ago or it was two years.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: AGO i think last year he really started looking. Up
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: we were trying to you, know before last, season we were,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: like all, right who's who's gonna be the punter? Now
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Because Ryan right he had a terrible year of the year.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Before but last year and this year he's been really
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: looked really.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Good And Andrew depaula like, you you don't talk about
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: your long snapper unless there's an, issue and there's rarely
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: ever an, issue if, Ever LIKE i don't think we've
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: sat here and talked about like, man that snap on
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: that field goal or that snap on that punt was
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: terrible and it led to this catastrophic play happened that
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: led to you, know the you know a. Loss, yeah
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: like HE'S i don't. KNOW i think all three of those.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: GUYS i Think Blake cashman we mentioned. IT i think
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: he's kind of a. SNUB i know he missed, time
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: BUT i think the fact that he missed playing time
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: shows how crazy good he. Is like he's still he's
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: a top twenty tackler in the. League missing four, Games,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: yeah like he's up. There AND i think you could
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: maybe make a case For Isaiah. Rodgers he had that
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: really splashy game at the beginning of, it all the miss.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: TACKLES i, mean that's.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: PLAYED i Think rogers specifically played really well against The,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: giants but he's been up and down this.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Year but, YEAH i mean, Yeah i'm just trying to
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: think of players that are, like, well maybe you could
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: make the case for, them rather than just saying, like, well,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: no it was a bad year and we're just gonna say,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: no one deserves to get, In like there's always. DON'T
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: i feel like there are always players on every team
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: that deserve to get. In they just don't get. It
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: those are just some of the. PLAYERS i agree with.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: You i'm the specialist for, sure but so for the.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Punter the voted punter ON nfcu Was tressway for The.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Commanders i'm not Watching commanders football unless they're they're losing
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: in a shoutout to The. Vikings and ADMITTEDLY i don't
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: remember anything About trussway in that, game BUT i can't
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: argue BECAUSE i didn't pay enough. Attention maybe his numbers are,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: better and maybe he is an overall better punter Than Ryan,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: wright BUT i can't argue Kicker Brandon. AUBREY i think
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: that's one that's that's name. Recognition we Witnessed Brandon aubrey
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: missing two field goals against The vikings, alone AND i
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: don't know the rest of his season's. Numbers i'd be
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: interested to know his long for this year if it
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: was more than sixty two. Yards excuse, Me i'm burping
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: here BECAUSE i do Know ryan Or Will right who
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: will be a pro. Bowler i'm just gonna say it right,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: now whether he's A viking or, not sometime In Will rekord's,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: career he will absolutely be a pro bowler because he's
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Just he's only ever been solid and really, good and
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: he's still perfect on extra. Points he does have that
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: sixty two yard kick from where was? That was that
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: AT Us bank or was that In? LONDON i don't
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: remember exactly like it was In, london but Will Record
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: sure you could convince me IF i looked at the,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: numbers Which i'm not deep diving right, now That aubrey
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: deserves it more than Will. Record BUT i do Think
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Will record this year and in his career so, far both,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: seasons he's he's on the way to being the NFL's best,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: kicker and he's in the conversation right. Now as far
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: as long, snappers that's such a difficult thing to. Evaluate
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: like you, said we don't think about long snappers unless
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: we can notice like oh that snap was, terrible or
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: if they get hurt or you, know they snap it
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: in the dirt or way too. HIGH i do Know
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: depaula has been absolutely solid for The vikings for what
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: three years? Now how long has he been on the.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Team this is his second.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Year last year was.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Okay now he's he's, older he's like thirty six.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Who were talking about and sorry there still.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: On but, YEAH i think that long snapper that's, here
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: neither here nor. There for, ME i want A viking
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: to be in The Pro.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Bowl but Like.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Depaula he's been. THERE i think he's made the last
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: TWO i think he's been like first Team All pro
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: long snapper the last two years. Too maybe this is
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: just one of those that they're letting another guy get a.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: CHANCE i don't, know but, yeah other than, THAT i
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: don't think The vikings have any major. Snubs hopefully they
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: come back next. Year one THING i, SAID i do
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Think Will record absolutely will be A Pro bowl kicker
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: at some. Point as far as punt returner or kick,
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: RETURNER i think they they don't signate punt or you, know,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: kickoff but they just have a kick.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Returner Rashid shaheed.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: Made it and he did have that punt return for
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: a touchdown Against, well he plays for The.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Seahawks who do they just? Beat? Recently he got traded
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: to the Seas, yeah, yeah from The. Saints he started
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: the season with The. Saints but they just beat? Somebody
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: was it The? Rams they just? Beat it was Last thursday.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Time, yeah and he had that that punt return for
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: a touchdown that totally changed the. Game and then The
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: seahawks came back and. WON i wonder if that really
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: changed the narrative on. Him Miles price for The. VIKINGS
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: i think he's another guy that if he keeps doing
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: what he's been doing and cleans up the ball security,
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: issues which he. Hasn't we haven't been worried about him
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: ball security wise for a few weeks. Now Miles price
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: could be a guy that in the future we look
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: at as, like, hey he could be a punt return you,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: know a kick returner in The Pro bowl like. That
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: that's definitely something he should deserve, sometime not this, year
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: but some. Time.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, YEAH i don't disagree at. All, well it is
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: interesting that The vikings spent so much on this roster
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: for the season to end up like, this No Pro,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: bowlers no. Playoffs, yeah possibly a losing. Record that's kind
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: OF tbd at this, point still up in the.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Air If i'm betting on, It i'd probably only bet
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: like ten, Bucks But i'd Say kevin O'Connell finds a
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: way to get the next two, games regardless of who's
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: in at.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Quarterback. Yeah, well and The lions have less to play
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: for than The packers. Do all The lions are still
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: fighting for their. Lives, THOUGH i, Know i'm just, saying,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: like especially with, INJURIES i feel like The lions have
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: been one of the more injured teams in the league this.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Year they were that way last year, too IF i remember,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Right they're always hurt In. Detroit BUT i don't. Know
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what happens On, christmas and
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: then it'll be interesting to see what happens the week
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: after in the final week of the Regular see do
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: we know the official day yet for That packer. GAME
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: i don't think they're gonna announce that until they usually announce,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: that like during The sunday games After. CHRISTMAS i, THINK
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: i don't think it's STILL.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Tbd, Okay, WELL i googled it and this might be
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: an aideal and Says january fourth at one pm local. Time,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: yeah it would be a noon game if. Anything, YEAH
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: i don't, know so twelve, pm, yeah noon On january, Fourth,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Sunday january, fourth which, is you, know a week and
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: a half after This thursday's. Game they get the mini
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: by which is. Great, yeah and to close it, out
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: maybe that'll, help you, know whatever hairline FRACTURE jj McCarthy,
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: HAS i genuinely, think AND i might be, wrong BUT
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: i think at this point IF jj McCarthy is if
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: he tells the coaches, like, YEAH i can grip a
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: ball AND i can, throw and he'd you, know maybe
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: they work him out and practice and stuff and make sure,
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: like yeah he, Can they're gonna.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Put him out, There like, YEAH i. Don't there's no
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: reason not.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: To you're still looking to see what you can get
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: out of the. Kid AND i think if he comes
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: out in a totally meaningless game against The packers of all,
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: teams and looks, good that's your first step to next.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: SEASON i, mean that's basically the first game of twenty twenty.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Six it literally will be in the calendar year of
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Six but IF jj McCarthy can AND i
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Know i'm skipping ahead here a little, bit but if
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: he can come out and play against The packers and look,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: good then that'll quite a lot of off season. Chatter
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: it won't totally negate all of, it but it will
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: go from like demanding A Joe burrow trade to all,
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: right maybe we just had our bets and draft a
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: quarterback in the second. Round you, know like that's how
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: much of a difference a good game FROM jj McCarthy
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: against The packers would.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: MAKE i will disagree slightly with you that That packers
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: game isn't completely. Meaningless, SURE i think it's for The. Vikings,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: yeah like who, Cares, like just throw caution to the,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: wind put them out, there, yep see what. Happens but
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: The packers are still gonna be playing for something next.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Week it could be the, division it could be it
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: could be the number one. Seed i'm not expecting, that
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: but like there's a lot at stake for The packers
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: in these next couple of. Games so for The packers
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: it's certainly not, meaningless which makes it somewhat. Meaningful for The.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Vikings it's like a meaningless game would. BE i think
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: it was last season or two years ago when The
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: chiefs and The broncos played and The chiefs notably like
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: benched all of their, starters and The broncos won and
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: easily got into the playoffs because they. Won but it
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: was Because, michael you have to have. Cause it is Because,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: sorry that was a weird, interjection but it was because
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: they The chiefs benched. Everybody that made it easy for
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: The broncos to like like handily win that game against The.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Chiefs that's a meaningless game in my, Opinion like if
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: The chiefs are, like, no we're not even gonna. Play Patrick,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Mahomes Travis, kelsey none of, Them like they're all gonna
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: sit because we're already the number one, season the. Playoffs
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: it is what it. Is, whatever then it's. Meaningless BUT
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: i think there's some meaning and and and it's and
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: it's The vikings and The.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: Packers oh yeah that, game no matter what it. Means,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: yeah you're you're gonna come to.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Play you're not gonna just you, know bench everybody and be, like,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: oh play next. YEAR i guess there's too much pride
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: in that border.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: BATTLE i wonder is there a way for The packers
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: to be eliminated from the playoffs before that? Game and
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: the only REASON i asked that is not to be
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: a Petty vikings. Fan it's to, say if it, is you,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: know there's no playoffs on the, line maybe tickets will be.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Cheaper and we've done it at least. ONCE i feel
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: like you AND i have done it multiple. Times we've,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: gone we've done it.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Twice, yeah we've gone to cheap end of season games
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: like the Fun we went to the final game of
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: The Zimmer era because tickets were forty. Bucks and Then
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: we went to the final game of the twenty twenty two,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Season kevin O'Connell's rookie, season because The vikings had already
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: clinched and The bears were fighting for the first overall,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: pick and again tickets were like forty. Bucks, so, so,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: okay CAN i on air? Production all, right let's do
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: it right? Now what are you doing On Sunday january?
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Fourth that's literally Where i'm going. Here if tickets are cheap,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Enough i'm, saying.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: So hear me, Out i'm probably gonna win our fantasy
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: football And i'm probably coming on some money because a
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: few DOLLARS i put fifty bucks in AND i Think
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: i'm gonna.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: WIN i think you're guaranteed one hundred and fifty.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: And guaranteed one hundred and. Fifty IF i win the whole,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Thing i'll get three. HUNDRED i will buy the. Tickets
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: you don't have to commit to that right. Now, No
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: i'm committing to it right. Now i'm committing your head
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: two and a half beers more than. That, no all,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: right we're gonna do it on air production meeting, well
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: as of, RIGHT i will put my winnings towards THAT
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: i WAS i was already thinking about it, earlier BECAUSE
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: i was gonna bring this up at some point in the,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: show AND i was, thinking, like, Hey i'm Gonna i'm
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: gonna give my winnings to the school high but, this
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: this seems like a good. Choice i've never Seen i've
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: never seen The vikings play the package in. Person, yeah
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: neither OF. I that would be. COOL i don't even.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Care like the season's already, done who. Cares it's all
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: fun now, Anyways like The vikings could lose by fifty and,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: yeah that would, suck but like what are they going
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: to miss the playoffs even? Harder like there's there's nothing
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: to nothing to, lose and it's only a good memory to.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: Gain so all, right as of right, Now i'm doing.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: It i'm putting my money where my mouth.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: IS i going to this ticket master right. Now the
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: cheapest TICKETS i can see are one hundred and twenty
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: seven dollars and thirty three. Cents AND i don't know
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: if that includes all the you, know.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: The fees and the predatory, fees what. Everything we can
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: wait until the week before that.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: Game but if it's, one that's WHY i brought it,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Up like if The packers could be eliminated before that,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: game you, know tickets will maybe they won't go down
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: to forty dollars because it's Still Packers, vikings BUT i
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: mean maybe they'd be less than one.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Hundred who.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Knows it's something to keep an eye. On the skull
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: hop may be. Attending have we attended a game together
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: since the school hop. STARTED i think twenty twenty two
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: was when we went to our last game, together right
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: In Soldier. Field so you AND i went to a
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: game WHEN i still lived In Cedar.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Falls. Uh you picked me up essentially In Cedar. Falls
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: that Was Squad.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Cities that was The Vikings bears, game last game of

• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: now if we were to buy tickets right, now that

• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: putting all of it into a probably and more into

• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: if we can pull some strings to go up The
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: saturday night, anyways we can figure all that. Out if
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: you're listening and you're planning on attending The Vikings packers,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: game maybe let us. Know maybe we can do a
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: little mini unofficial School hot.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: Meetup that'd be. Cool anything else about the off season
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: before we look at the game before the, One we've
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: just been spending so much time talking ABOUT a quick.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Question do you think we've talked about THE, Gm we've
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: talked about, coaches we've talked about all of that. Before
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: real quick yes or? No maybe a one or two sentence.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Explanation do you think not having Any pro bowlers makes
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: it all that much more worse On kevin, O'Connell On,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: quacy On Wes, phillips On.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Brian.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: Flores do you think it makes everybody look that much?
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Worse did the owners care about that enough for it
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: to tip the? Iceberg or do you think the situation
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: is already what it is and the owners have already, decided,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: yeah we're gonna stick With quacy or? Not or was
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: this one of those like now that we know there's
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: no pro, bowlers you guys, Suck you're?
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Out like what do you? THINK i think there's still
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit of margin For KOs And quacy from.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: OWNERSHIP i don't think they're gonna cut bait and you,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: know hope for something different next. Year so, REALISTICALLY i
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Think quacy And KOs both have opportunities to make adjustments
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: to their, staffs make, adjustments go get it. ENERGIZED i
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: think they both have the capacity for, that and and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe quacy more so Than. KOs i think the coaching
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: staff is pretty. SOLID i think the organization needs to
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: do whatever they can to Keep Brian flores because we
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: already talked about. It This vikings defense is, awesome and
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: even if you keep the core and bring in some new.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Players This vikings defense will be a top ten defense,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: easily and probably a top five defense next year for,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: sure even Without Harrison. Smith even WITHOUT i don't even
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: know Who i'm thinking. OF i ran out of names
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: in my, list BUT i don't Think Harrison smith comes
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: back next. Year so you, KNOW i really think that's
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: a concerted effort the organization. Makes this is way longer
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: than a two sentence. Explanation long story. Short you keep
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: the two head, guys you keep the two head. HONCHOS
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: i think they make, adjustments and maybe they feel a
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: little pressure from ownership to make adjustments to their. Stabs
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: we might see some minor, tweaks maybe a new special teams.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: Coordinator maybe maybe there's a new offensive play caller In.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: MINNESOTA i know a lot of people have been pounding
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: the table for. That that would FREE KOs up to
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: think differently about games and think more about game, situation clock,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: management all of, that rather than trying to dial up
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: the perfect play for the. Situation we might see some
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: tweaks like. That that's What i'm. Expecting here's What i'm.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: SAYING i was pretty adamant four or five episodes, ago,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: three four or five episodes ago that The vikings need
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: to move on From. Quac i'm still in that, boat
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: and not having Any pro bowlers doesn't change that mindset from.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Me it doesn't.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: Increase it and decrease it. WHATEVER i don't Think quac
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: is a GOOD NFL, gm And i'm not patient enough
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: to wait another decade for him to finally figure it
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: out as AN NFL.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Gm smart, dude good.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: Dude he's probably really, awesome probably gives a, charity you,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: know like everything about him personally seems. Awesome it's just
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: the math hasn't worked out for.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Him he's only had.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: A few hits and a lot more misses as far
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: as free agents and draft. Picks mostly draft. Picks some
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: of his free agents have been really.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Good so that.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Doesn't change my. Mindset AND i will ARGUE i would
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: think the people that am saying take the play calling
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: From koc or you, know Fire. Koc that's not, prevalent
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: but it's been out. THERE i think he's done. Enough
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: since after That seahawks, game we've seen more development From
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: koc as a play, caller as a head, coach as
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: a planner in his. Hole, hey just go out there
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: and play. Football f. It don't worry about where your feet.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: Are we've seen more growth from him than from anybody,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: else INCLUDING jj, McCarthy and that has been the reason
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: we've seen such a.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Turnaround.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: Now, yes you can make the argument The vikings haven't
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: played great teams the last three, weeks and they. Didn't
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: they barely beat The, giants you, know but The giants
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: are still an. TEAM i Think koc has already done
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: enough in the last three four games for me to
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: SAY i think he's, improved he's, developed he's. BETTER i
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: don't think you need to see any coaching. CHANGES i
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: think the only coaching changes maybe the special teams coordinator because.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: There have been some.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: Mishaps there were quite a. Few there was a couple
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: of games that were lost because of major special teams,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: mishaps SO i could see it if they wanted to
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: move on From Matt. Daniels, also recently we haven't seen
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: those special teams, mishaps SO i don't. Know maybe they
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: fixed something. There Brian flores may get a head coaching.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: JOB i think that's the only reason he would. Leave
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: it sounds like he's well, compensated sounds like he Likes
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: minnesota he's still actively suing THE, nfl or at least The.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: DOLPHINS i think he would only leave for a head coaching,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: job and it would have to be the right head coaching.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: Job he wouldn't leave for a different defensive coordinator, job
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: AND i don't think The vikings would move on from.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Him i'm pretty Sure front of The Show dustin On
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: vikings territory just had an article today today or yesterday
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: about how it seems like from, sources The vikings absolutely
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: Want Brian floores, back and then offensive coordinator is basically
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: koc with his assistants. Whatever SO i don't think not
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: having Any pro bowlers should change any. Mindset i'm still
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: advocating for a NEW gm because it's.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Just not working. Out but you know what happens if
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: you get rid of THE, gm your head coach is
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: gonna go in the next. Year it's just not going to,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: work and.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: That's something for another. Show Dustin baker has also, said
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: like usually gms they want their own, guy just like
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: coaches they want their own. Quarterback you, know, LIKE i get.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: THAT i like how you enunciated your point with the.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: ELBOW i was just trying to WHILE i popped my elbow.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: There that was.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Incredible but, yeah EITHER i think whether it's front staff coaching,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: players this is going to be an interesting off season
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: for The. VIKINGS i mean you're talking they could do
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: something as radical as trade For Joe burrow or something
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: as crazy as fire THE gm and head, coach or
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: nothing at. All like the spectrum is way out there
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: and it's all as possible as each, other and this
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: could be a really interesting. Offseason the skulhop will have
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: plenty of things to talk.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: About what would be the Most vikings things ever to
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: do this Offseason to trade AWAY jj McCarthy For Joe,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: burrow only For Joe burrow to sit out the whole,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: season have like some weird neck thing and be out
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: for no to have him do What Sam bradford did
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: in his second years Of. Viking to Have Joe burrow
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: come out first game of the season throw for like
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: six hundred yards and seven touchdowns and he's not a
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: weird neck. Thing and then FOR jj, McCarthy who theoretically
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: would be A, bengal to come out and look like
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: the next Freaking Joe, burrow just a healthy version like
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: that would be the Most vikings thing ever but that
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: was kind of our theme for the off season into this,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: season is what was the most vikings thing? Ever so
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: that would be. IT i feel like this season has
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: been the most vikings thing, Ever like all this, hype all,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: That like we rebuilt the, trenches the offensive, line the defensive.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: Line that's WHAT i was pounding the table for all off, season, like,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: yeah we did. It we got this red shirt rookie.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Quarterback he's had a year to sit in the league
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: but not. Play he's he's well, studied well, read he
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: knows what he's. Doing we Got Aaron jones And Jordan.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Mason you got this one two punch at running. Back
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: you've got the league's best wide receiver And Justin. Jefferson
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: you've got a really good tight end and Tj. Hodginson
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: you've got arguably the league's best defense that's now even
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: more formidable with your interior defensive line acquisitions that they
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: made With Jonathan allen And Javon. Hargrave all of these
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: things and, more and special teams, too like Got Will,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: record And Ryan right And Andrew. DePaolo we've already talked
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: about how they should Be Pro Pro, Bowlers like, goodness
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: gracious This This vikings team should easily make the, playoffs
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: should he easily win the, division should he easily you,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: know win a game or two in the in the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: in the, playoffs and now here we are looking on
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: the outside and no, playoffs No Pro, bowlers none of. That,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: yeah that's the Most vikings thing, ever you know what
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: kind of.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: It it's similar to what we've been talking, about but
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit, different you know what kind of annoys.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Me Pro Football talk is run By Mike, florio who's
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: like apparently A vikings, fan but he also like craps
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: on The vikings more often than not.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: Before the.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: Season, also don't go To Pro football dot dot. Com
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: they're actually, terrible like they're the. Worst go To Vikings
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: territory dot. Com but before the season, Started Mike, florio
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: who's on Like Sunday night In America football or, whatever
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: he His vikings prediction was that they would be you,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: know five win, team six win. Team and his only
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: basis on that was because for the last decade or,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: so The vikings have had a really good, season really bad,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: season really good, season really bad, season really good. Season
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: it's just been back and. Forth every year has been
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: good than, bad then good than. Bad and that Was
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: florio's only reason of saying they'll be bad this year
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: because they were good last. Year and it's annoying that
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: he ended up being kind of right BECAUSE i hate.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: That will it be annoying next year? Though if he's
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: right again and they have a good.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: Season, Oh i'll be super. Happy But i'll also be
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: annoyed with him because he's not actually. Knowledgeable he's just saying.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: That because you know good, bad good, bad good. Bad snip,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: snap snip, snap you can notice.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Patterns you learned that in the kindergarten. PRESCHOOL i was
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: a preschool. Teacher she'd tell you.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: Patters but, Yeah i'm excited that next season will be
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: a good. Year i'm predicting that right. Now but, yeah,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: well it'll be fun to play out all the Most
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: vikings things scenarios throughout the off.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Season let's talk real briefly about The vikings playing The.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: LIONS, yep SO i need to update the outline. Here
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: detroit opened up as five and a half point favorites and,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: now as of you know a few minutes, ago WHEN
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: jj McCarthy was announced he's.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: Gonna not be.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: Playing they are seven point, favorites AND i don't know
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: the actual overunder right, now but it did open up
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: as for forty four point five.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Points, goodness you are right over.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: There, Yep i'm, burpin but, YEAH i, Uh detroit is
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: favored by a touchdown and the over runner is probably
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: something like forty six points by now forty three and a, half,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: Oh detroit seven and a half ON, Espn, okay seven
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: and a half, favorites tickets as low as seventy six.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Dollars you want to go On? Christmas you think you
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: can get away from your? Family IF i, WENT i
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have a. Family that's just how it.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Is.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: Evan what are your keys to The vikings beating The
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: lions On Christmas?
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: Day it's this. Defense the defense has been the only
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: reason The vikings are as good as they. Are if
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: The vikings defense were any worse than they, Are we're
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: looking at three, wins four, wins five, wins not how
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: many wins seven and eight right? Now seven are eight and.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Seven i'm hoping after the end of this game The
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: vikings And lions have the same.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: Record that would be. Great so, yeah, defense it's it's
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: gonna come down to. Defense this offense is gonna be.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Weird you're gonna Have Max brozman under. Center you're gonna
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: have your backup. Center Probably jurgins starting at. Center IF
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: i had to, guess Possibly. Brandell But brandell's filling the
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: role For Donovan jackson right? Now who's out? Right, NO
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: i Think Jackson's jackson. IN i GUESS i don't pay
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: attention too much to the offensive. Line the offensive line
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: is a wild card right. Now Is brandell filling in For?
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: Darisa, WELL i think that's still just in school too.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: School, Okay, see.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: SO i Think, brandell unless there's an information out, THERE
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: i think he will be at center because that's where
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: he has.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Been When jurgens came in and played.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: Back, YONDER i wonder, why because he definitely that's what
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: you're thinking because we're watching. Together jurgens definitely came, In
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: kelly came.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: OUT i don't. Know it's weird. Anyways so all of
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: that to, SAY i think the offense is just gonna be.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: Weird it's gonna be. Weird both running backs are, hurt
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: And Justin jefferson's trying to get to a thousand. YARDS
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: i could See KOs try to throw him a bone
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: and try, to you, know get him some. RECEPTIONS i
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: could see The lions defense capitalizing on. THAT i could
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: some pick sixes or something like that happening because they're
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: trying to feed the ball To Justin jefferson and it's
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: going to be coming From Max, brosmer who really hasn't
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: proven a whole. Lot you've got this mangled offensive, line
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: depleted running. Game it's just gonna be. Weird defense is
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: where it's going to be. At the defense has to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: step up and play.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah SO i agree with. You but on top of,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: that my key is it was just the quarterback, position
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: but now it's how Is brosmer uh going to continue
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: playing LIKE jj McCarthy. Played we saw in The giants
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: game When brozemer came. In it was some, passing but
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: a lot Of Aaron Jones. Sr coming in and taking
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: the game on his shoulders and just doing the vikings,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: offense doing just enough in tain him with the defense
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: going above and. Beyond so uh, Yeah i'm gonna be
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: paying a lot of attention To brosmer and how he's,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: playing and hopefully they can edge it out for a.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: Victory you got a prediction score. Prediction what's?
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: Yours ev thirty? One, nothing that's It vikings.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: Win that's three straight weeks now that you predicted thirty,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: one And i've been right one of those three.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: Times right there you, go just kidding zero of.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: This, well, yeah but the first time you predicted it
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: ended up being what thirty four to? SOMETHING i don't.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: Know it wasn't too far? Off mine IS i think
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: The lions are going to win this JUST i think
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: The vikings have too many, injuries too much going on
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: this year has been not for The vikings enough that
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: The lions are going to win it twenty eight to
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: ten or something like. That that's interesting because we flip
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: flapped preseason. Predictions you predicted a win AND i predicted
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: a loss.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: Preseason so for The.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: Purple punishments next, episode if The vikings, Win evan will
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: be spinning the. Wheel if The vikings, LOSE i will
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: be spinning the. Wheel so for the first time in a, While,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: yeah first time in a, while guaranteed. WHEELSPIN i think
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: did we spin against The? Seahawks after The seahawks, Game
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: i'm trying to think the last time we spun what
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: the punishment?
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: Was, YEAH i don't remember the. Jerseys it might be
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: the jerseys that sounds we both had to wear. JERSEYS
• 1:20:15

  Speaker 1: had on the, show that we could do like that
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: blind taste test type of thing With maybe we could
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Involve forrest in that and we could give him our
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: beer list and then tell him, like, hey we'll pay for,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: it you bring the, beer and you'll know which ones
