Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell pulled off a
disgusting act on Thursday night, and that's what we're going
to talk about today. But first I need to tell
you about zero Res because it's spooky season and they
are offering three carpets cleaned for only one hundred and
twenty nine dollars. You've got chocolate chip on your carpet

(00:20):
from Halloween, contact zero Res at zero Resminnesota dot com
and get three carpets cleaned for only one hundred and
twenty nine dollars. Tell them you heard about it from
the brawl with Tim Paul. To take advantage of this
special deal. Zero Res Minnesota, zero risk, but forests are backwards.
It spells the same. The Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin

(00:42):
O'Connell pulled off a disgusting act because.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
He left his quarterback out to dry.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Back in the day, you used to hang up clothes
on a clothesline and let.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
The air dry it out.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
That's what Kevin O'Connell did to Carson Wentz at the
end of the first quarter. It was clear that Carson
went to his shoulder was bothering him.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
He went from Carson Wentz to Carson.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Wins after every hit, after every throw, after every play,
he is grabbing onto his shoulder.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yet not a single thing was done.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Kevin O'Connell let Carson Wentz hang out to dry. Carson
Wentz went from smiling with Josh McCown at the end
of the first half, which is just embarrassing, to crying
at the end of the game, throwing his helmet, disgusted.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Frustrated, unhealthy.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
For the last six weeks, all we have heard Kevin
O'Connell mumble about recently is JJ McCarthy's health. When he's
one hundred percent healthy, he'll be back on the field.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
If JJ's healthy, JJ o'play. That's been the case since
the injury.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
If McCarthy had Carson Wentz his injury, he would be
off the field at a minimum of ten weeks. And
yet Wentz continued to play possession after possession even when
the Vikings were clearly out of it. And then O'Connell
insults our intelligence by putting in Max Brozmer in the

(02:20):
final two minutes of the game.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, too late, buddy.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
It was irresponsible to continue playing Carson Wentz possession after
possession and Kevin O'Connell's offense isn't known for its quick place.
It's these long design plays trying to generate throws down
the field, which demands Carson Wentz hold onto the ball
longer than he probably wants to. And now we're getting

(02:47):
these reports from Vikings insiders that there's tension within the
Vikings organization. I thought O'Connor was this culture guy, just
brought everybody together in the joy.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I mean, have you seen his press conference recently.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
It takes about two seconds to know that something is
wrong inside the Vikings organization. And I think it's fair
to question Kevin O'Connell's coaching ability right now. Yes, he
takes Sam Donald out of the dust, but now is
the time to take a super Bowl roster to a
super Bowl level.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
And the Vikings are nowhere close.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
For years, Kevin O'Connell has been crowned as the elite
of the elite, and I think hey can coach.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
But did we crown him too early?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Because there are certainly issues with his coaching, specifically asking
Carson Wentz to do things he would ask Matthew Stafford
our Kirk Cousins to do. It's ridiculous what Kevin O'Connell
asks Carson Wentz to do, because he's clearly not as

(03:54):
talented as some of these other guys, yet he asked
them to do the same thing. You've got to coaching
style for the player that is playing the position, and
he has failed to do that. He's not a terrible coach,
and I think he can coach, but he was definitely
crowned too early as the best head coach in the

(04:17):
NFL because he is not to the degree of Andy
Reid or Sean mcvain yet. Greg Olsen just said that
Kevin o'conna would probably be his first coach that he
would pick to start a football team with. He's not
there yet. He might get there eventually, but he's not
there yet. If you need your bathroom or model, you

(04:38):
need to go to five Star bath Solutions of Minneapolis,
because they transformed our bathroom in forty eight hours, and
that's what they'll.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do for you.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
They took our old, disgusting, outdated Muldy bathroom and made
it into a masterpiece in forty eight hours. Our old
bathroom was blue and ugly and had a single sink
and out dated.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh it was gross, and.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
In forty eight hours, we had our bathroom masterpiece.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
That's what five Star Bath Solutions of Minneapolis did for.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Us, and that's what they'll do for you. New floor, vanity, countertops, mirror,
We went from a single to a double sink, new bathtub,
shower surround, and all of this was extremely affordable, and
that's what they pride themselves on, affordable transformations, beautiful solutions.
