Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Minnesota Vikings are taking this new strategic approach with
JAJ McCarthy, and it could change everything, or it could
remain the exact same and he could remain as one
of the most inaccurate quarterbacks of all time. I need
to tell you about zero Res carpet cleaning because they
are extending their Black Friday deal and you can get
(00:22):
three carpets cleaned for only one hundred and nineteen dollars.
Get your home ready for the holidays with a zero
res carpet cleaning. Go to zero Resminnesota dot com and
tell them you heard about it from the brawl with
Tim Paul. To take advantage of this special deal. Three
(00:42):
carpets cleaned, one hundred and nineteen dollars zero res. Spell
it forester backwards, it spells the same. Vikings head coach
Kevin O'Connell is coming with this new JJ McCarthy strategy,
and here's what he had to say at his press
conference this week. As I talked to him this week,
it's purely about decision making at this point. I want
(01:04):
him to have a clear head and clear mind to
just go play. Let's just make the throws, Let's just
throw and catch one thing is very clear. The Vikings
have tried to implement McCarthy mechanical changes, and statistically he's
been one of the worst NFL quarterbacks this season. So
(01:26):
the easy fix is, let's just forget the mechanics. Let's
just go out there and let him play pitch and catch,
and that will solve all our problems. But here's the issue.
McCarthy hasn't actually implemented any of the mechanical changes. McCarthy
is throwing the ball the way he has always thrown
(01:48):
the ball because it is not muscle memory. Yet here's
what McCarthy is not doing. McCarthy is not dropping back
to pass, deciphering a defense before the snap, reading a
defense after the snap, and then sitting in the pocket
thinking I better keep that backfoot down. He is already
(02:09):
playing instinctual football because he's throwing the ball the way
he has always thrown it. Take a look at this
video of his pro day. His pro day mechanics look
the exact same as it does right now. His right
foot is a loose cannon and he has no control.
We are not seeing a quarterback being clouded with too
(02:32):
much information to digest. We're just witnessing one of the
most inaccurate quarterbacks in the last twenty five years. I
get the theory, work on the changes in the offseason,
and right now, just work with what you've got. There's
a few problems with that one. The Vikings have been
working on this since last year's OTA's training camp, preseason
(02:54):
and regular season. They've been working on this for fourteen
weeks of the regular season and five months of the offseason,
and still nothing is implemented or saulved. You've got one
of the most inaccurate quarterbacks. Ever, how do you fix broken?
Do you fix broken by slapping the guy on the
tush and saying, hey, go out there and give your
(03:16):
best effort without thinking about anything, or do you fix
broken by implementing changes and practically applying those changes. The
problem with McCarthy is it's gone through one year and
out the other without anything done in the middle. The
brain has not applied those changes to the rest of
(03:38):
his body. I will give Kevin O'Connell credit for this, though.
There is nobody better at selling a message and spinning
it to be positive. Right now, it's always too clouded
with information. They're just too much there. He just needs
to go out there and be a decision maker and
work with what he's got, and it's all gonna change.
In other words, Kevin O'Connell is telling McCarthy to throw
(04:01):
the ball the way you've always been throwing it, and
then things are just gonna automatically change. How does that
make any sense if it's broken? By not doing anything
to fix the broken, are you out of your mind?
But here's some messages that Kevin O'Connell has sold us
this season. Max Brosmer, the ball hasn't hit the ground
all week. He is mentally as sharp as anybody I've
(04:24):
ever played with. Our coach, Carson Wentz, complete command of
the huddle. It seems like he's been here for years,
not two weeks. And Jajon McCarthy, well he got this one.
We're just gonna work with what he's got. He's too
clouded with information. And the other two he's had his
best week of practice i've ever seen. You've got to
(04:45):
be kidding me. The Vikings and Kevin O'Connell are zero
for five in selling a message this season, and here's
their next one. McCarthy, forget the mechanics, forget the changes
or just gonna do pitch catch. You've got to be
kidding me. Selling Optimism at its finest by Kevin o'connen.
