Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Minnesota Vikings are fudged up everywhere. Have you seen
the latest injury report. It is absolutely bunkers. But what's
so interesting about it is the Vikings do not have
to look hard to find inspiration to win despite these injuries.

(00:24):
But first I need to tell you about zero Res

(01:05):
The Minnesota Vikings have a lot to overcome. Let's take
a look at their injury report. Christian Darisson rest, Donovan
Jackson wrist injury most likely out, Michael Jurgen's center hamstring injury,
Ryan Kelly's out, JJ McCarthy's out, Brian O'Neil is out,

(01:26):
Dallas Turner popped up on the list with a illness,
and Andrew Van Ginkle has a nick injury. So the
main players that will most likely be unavailable are three
offensive linemen, JJ McCarthy and Andrew Van Ginkle. It seems
like the odds are impossible to overcome, yet the Vikings

(01:49):
are favored by three and a half against the Cleveland Browns.
What the odds are telling us is that the Vikings
with all of these injuries are still favored to win
against that horrid Browns offense led now by Dylan Gabriel.
Part of me wants to see just how bad this

(02:12):
can get, not that I'm rooting for injuries. At what
point in time do we start to see Jalen Raymond
Vikings defensive tackle playing offensive lineman. At what point in
time do we see the equipment manager given an opportunity
and suiting up in hockey. Sometimes they pulled out the
equipment manager or some random guy to play goalie for

(02:34):
a game. Can we see the water boy slash equipment
manager suit up for the Vikings and play right tackle.
At what point are the injuries so catastrophic that the
Vikings are forced to bring in a guy that's in
the equipment room I kind of want to see it. Apparently,

(02:55):
Josh all of our Vikings tight end is the emergency
offensive lineman. The Vikings don't have to look far for
some inspiration. Last night, the forty nine Ers were without
their top three receivers Oh, Nick Bosa also out, left
guard Ben Birch out oh and starting quarterback Rock Purty

(03:19):
also out, and the forty nine Ers were eight and
a half point underdogs in a home game in Los
Angeles versus the Rams, and they won. It's moments like
this where you can separate yourself as a head coach.
Kevin O'Connell, if he wins, is going to be looked

(03:40):
at much differently, because right now you are grabbing gorilla glue,
sticking players to positions and hoping they don't get injured.
And it's a lot to overcome. But the Vikings still
have Jefferson, Addison Hawkinson. The Vikings still have guys they

(04:02):
can turn to to win. In these moments, nobody feels
bad for the Vikings, nobody cares just win, and if
he palls it off, he will be looked at in
very high regard. And right now I'm feeling a little
inspired to be Kevin O'Connell men.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I know this game is stacked up against us. I
know we have to overcome the odds.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
But I believe in you, third string offensive lineman that
is forced to play this game. I believe in you
backup defensive end. You were meant to be football players.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
And right now you either led this situation define us,
or we overcome it. And we come back from London
one and one, going into the bye week getting arrested,
and then we'll come back out and kick some more ass.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
There's gonna be times where we need to overcome in
this game. But I believe in every one of you,
even though I cut three of you in training camp.
Now is your time to shine and prove that you
belong on the football field. You cannot let this moment
define you. I love you, guys, I'm with you or
in battle together. Let's win this freaking football game. That

(05:19):
was Kevin Unconn and that's his speech. The vikings, no doubt,
are fudged up everywhere, but you've got to overcome and
