Speaker 2 (00:19):
Questions already coming into Lavelle Emil the thirty's a Friday regular,
but we're moving him to today to accommodate the very
busy schedule of Russo Radio. He's going to join us
on the Friday Football Beast. It does seem weird to
talk to lavel on a Thursday. I won't deny that
feels like the weekend should be starting. That's very very true.
He joined us via the Connectico Water Systems Highline. Does
(00:41):
it throw you off level to be on with us
on Thursday instead of Friday?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Maybe in some other weeks, but this week I'm off,
so I had a lot of flexibility. Oh good, Okay,
being able to talk today wasn't a problem. What the
hell does Mike Russell have going on there? He has
to be a leader of creation? End me here?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
What's the answer on that? Guard? The life of a producer?
How it goes? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So the wild You know, I'm listening to fallnesses. You know,
never ending, still.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Hasn't hasn't uttered anything from today's hockey centric program, And
he just texted me off the air, what's missed, Garren?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Did he say anything interesting? How about that? He didn't
even listen? What is going on? He didn't even listen?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
So I thought, hey too, I'll let you tell you though.
I got this. I got an issue with fall with myself.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
So I just said, oh, the Wilder. You know, it's Thursday.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
We usually have Russo on Thursday, so let's make sure
we get a wild presence because they are red hot.
And Russo texted me right back and said he's flying
to Pittsburgh because he's going to be at the game
tomorrow during the show, So he's in the air right now.
So then I pivoted and said, let's try to get
the president of hockey ops on that's great. What maybe
do Russo Friday from Pittsburgh if our guy Lavelle would
be so gracious as to switch his day. And so
(01:50):
those are how the puzzle pieces get put together for
bumping or bumper today?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
How dare russoll schedule a flight when he's supposed to
be on air? Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, it's hard to argue with Russo is pretty reliable.
That is reliable. I mean if we are well, you
are reliable to I don't deny that that's a fair point.
But I mean he anytime a story breaks, yes, I
mean he'll he'll literally come on. He won't do the all.
I got four other things to do. He'll come on.
You occasionally, will whine about something that you have to
(02:21):
get done first. In the end, you'll come through. I'll
grant you the point. In the end, you generally come through.
I can't argue with that level.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But thanks for your flexibility today level after that cheap shot.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I appreciate the producer, appreciate.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
My bonness issue goes back to when the last time
I was at a game when I wrote that column
knight to justin that maybe we need to view the
wile differently this year, before the game, I'm in the
dining room and I basically got shoulder bars into the wall.
But Bonness, and he's got this look of fear and
exasperation in us in his face. He's like, what are
(02:56):
you doing here? Us tear us apart? You want some writing,
some yellow journal? Huh? We got one on what's a
problem man? You know, so you're paranoid. What's going on? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Very defensive, there's no question about that. And he didn't
even bother to listen to Garan? Did he did he
listen to the start of the show. Probably not.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
He'll conveniently forget all of that too. Wow, you're getting
your your feet are being held to the fire here early,
even though I don't think this is a decision that
you had anything to do with. Uh, this is from six'
five to, One Guy, dan will you please Ask lavelle
which genius at the start to be and? Decided the
paper no longer covers The. Olympics minnesota historically has More
(03:37):
Winter olympians than any other, state AND i have top
athletes this year in cross, country, skiing, curling hockey and other.
Sports love Seeing lovel's coverage from our curling. Trials but
why Not? Italy, yeah lovel why Not?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Italy let me try, This let me try to find
the best way to be diplomatic about. This BUT i
you know the, EXPENSES i mean we, uh it cost
a lot to go To beijing four years ago and
we sent two people and this, year.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Excuse, me we know we had to pay like twenty
grand for your phone. Bill we. Understood that doesn't mean that.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Was your that Was i've done to do. It you're
making a phone.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
CALL i know it's expensive In.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
China what you were, saying, well it's just just from
a cost, standpoint it just they just couldn't. Afford they
just couldn't see the value and it was going to
be like over twenty grand per. Person and, yeah you
get to a point where you, know we're making some adjustments.
Here you, know we're selling our print and press and
we're going to have earlier daylines next, year and the
(04:39):
less adjustments that are being made right. Now and just
as in, IT i agree with sixty five to one.
GUY i know WHAT i did not know what was
the store for me WHEN i went To, beijing AND
i had like the greatest experience of my Jeralsm jernalism,
career even after having to spend a week in close
quarantine just because the guy in front of me on
the plane flight tested positive when you. Land but you,
(05:02):
KNOW i learned how much the Winning olympics being In.
Minnesota there were Thirty minnesotans on the Last Winter olympics,
team and every day of The, olympics there was a curling,
match and all but one day there was a hockey,
match and there Were minnesotan's front and, center and it
was two. Sports so there was relevancy here every, day
AND i was able to see that up, close and you,
(05:24):
know covering scheme for the first, time looking up at this,
mountain going these people are nuts that they're. Sliding if
they're sliding on skis down this, hill this is, crazy you.
Know but there was at the bottom Of Paula, moosen you,
KNOW i think she finished twelfth in her, event and covering,
Curling i've Had i've Known Josh schuster since twenty, fourteen
SO i kind of knew a little bit about his
(05:46):
team and his backstory and. Everything but seeing you, know covering,
there covering them there front and, center you, know that
was an, experience and SO i knew that we're not
Going and that's why it made more sense to me
to go To Sue pauls to cover the curling, trials because,
One i'm not gonna have access to these people once
they make The olympic, team you, know so this is
(06:07):
my this is my chance of getting some FaceTime with
them and kind of setting the groundwork for like interviews later,
on you, know especially with the peers and, sisters you,
know with a good chance of going to The. Olympics
and you, KNOW i Met Danny, casper which ended up
being proven because he ended up Beating. Schuster you know
in the final. Thing he's the one step away from
going to The. Olympics so he may be the. Guy you,
know he's the new, hotness twenty four years old and
(06:29):
could be the face Of american curling for the next several.
Years so, YEAH i you, KNOW i apologize to the,
readers but you, know if we have, budgets you, know
and we have, parameters and we have to stay with.
Him so IF i had it was my, DECISION i
would send someone to To. Italy it would didn't have
wouldn't have to be, me as long as someone from
(06:50):
The Start tribute was. There BUT i apologize in the.
FANTS i wish we were. There it just isn't. Feasible.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
OH i had a follow up for you on what
was it going to Be olympic? Related, NO i think
it was actually gonna be Under lavell underwear. RELATED i,
STILL i, mean this is sad because you had such
a great experience covering The, olympics and AND I i
can relate because that was my favorite event to, cover
Actually Winter olympics even more than.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Summer but.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
My word association when you Say Beijing, OLYMPICS i Think lavelle's.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Underwear that that's.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It that's that's my word, association BECAUSE I i can't Get.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I'll never get past that story you told.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Us and Now i'm deprived of BECAUSE i probably probably
would have purposely under under packed underwear For italy just
SO i could go buy some Fine italian underwear to
bring back with. Me AND i can't do.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Now that's, unfortunate isn't. It The texter does have a
football question for you as we move away from The
olympics and your underwear. Here uh six to one to
two guy notes seven. Packer uh seven wide receivers all
listed as questionable or does he mean seven packers? ARE
(08:06):
i think there's more than, seven so maybe he means
wild receivers as questionable as well As, yeah he does
mean wide receivers as well as several cornerbacks and LB's
as well as parsons with a peck. Injury jacob's also?
Questionable are The packers soft and gettable This. Sunday is
this actually a trap game for the for The packers
and a great opportunity for the for The vikings to
(08:28):
shock the.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
World, WELL i mean it's. POSSIBLE i mean Green bay is, weird.
Man you. KNOW i was able to find A vikings
bar Last sunday to watch The Vikings bears game BEFORE
i covered the curling. Finals and of course when people
found out it was A bears, fan they started cringing
a little. Bit but that should a funny story about.
THAT i don't know if you tell, Them i'm telling. It.
Anyway the owner of the bar went to Called gibbs and,
(08:52):
Say Sue, paul their, friend their family's friends With Lester. Bagley,
okay so the Bar turnder takes a picture of me
at the. Bar he sends it To bagley within ten.
Minutes bagley Respond he goes that gentleman.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Is A bears.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Fan tell him he can cheer, up but cheer. Quietly
so we ended up having a good. Time but there
were a couple Of packer fans there and watching them
kind of watching The Packer giants. Game AND i just told, you,
guys how come Green bay can't beat bad, teams you,
know because they were. Struggling it took everything for them
to knock off the, giants you. Know and you know
(09:27):
they gotta worry About Josh shakos, knee they gotta worry
About Jordan love's, shoulder and, yeah and the receivers are banged.
UP i Can christian watch him stay on the field
these things like he gets hurt hurt every, week you,
Know so it's not when you play, him is where
you catch. Him and right, now you know The packers
are banged, up and that could play a role in
In sunday's. Game but on the flip, side Did grenard practice? Today?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Uh he was UPGRADED i think to. QUESTIONABLE i don't
know how if he was a full participant or. Not
didn't he get upgraded by one? SLOT i think.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
That day we'll.
Speaker 4 (10:00):

Inbox spot on the hour a bit more With lavell
switching days this week With Russo, radio who will join us?
TOMORROW i rudely interrupted you in mid? Thought or were
we when we last?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Left we were talking about.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Injuries, injuries that's, it, yeah and The packers having a
slew of.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Them, YEAH i Con i'm outing eighteen packers on the
injury report right. Now that's a. Lot that's a third
or d. Roster that sounds it.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Didn't belichick used to do that where he put like
almost everybody on there just because he was annoyed that
he had to do it at.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
All and you got IN i don't.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Know rating was on with a shoulder injury for like twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Years, yeah well that's that's, sad but sad but. True
your monsters of the midway get it done in dramatic.
Fashion SO i ask you this every, week are you
starting to believe or do you still come away from
that game the way The bears gave The vikings a
chance to steal it as a sign that it's a cute,
(11:45):
Record but it really doesn't amount to.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Much it wasn't it wasn't a defining victory and it
wasn't an emphatic when. Either you, know it was one
of those last second things which has come to define
in The bear. Season they have been To Cardiac bears this,
year and you, know not just fourth quarter stuff like
last second. Stuff they've blocked the field goal in against
(12:10):
The raiders at the last second to win the Game
coast And lovelan score got touched Down cincinnati As god's
the clock ran. Out you, know you got The vikings
game last, week you, know with time running out and
The bears. Winning so that's been like their Motors. Operendi
and there's seems like there's a team or two every
year who lived that. Way so the, record why aren't you?
(12:34):
Said your record says you are on The bears at
seven and, Three do they look like you're a? Threat
to make a playoff. Run, no they got too many.
Holes they willly have a left. Tackle the secondary has
been banged, up although the practice won them for Both
Jalen johnson And Kyler gordon has now opened so they're
both practicing, now so there's hope that maybe they'll be
(12:54):
ready not by this, week but by next week Against.
Philadelphia so we'll. See we haven't seen the the, healthier
the most Healthy bears team. Yet we haven't seen them
at the best yet to get idea what this defense can.
Do because if those two players can boost the defense
and they get a little bit of a pass, rush you,
know then you know there's something you can cut of
hang your hand. On there's nothing you can hang your
(13:15):
hand on about This bears team other than that that
the running. Game they've got. It they've got a capable
of running game now because they fix the interior of
the defensive. Line this is gonna but you, know this
is gonna be a big test going down the stretcher
because in order they Have, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia Green, Bay, Cleveland Green,
(13:35):
Bay San, francisco and The. Alliance it gets noseley tougher
and we'll find out what this team is gonna be
made off going. Forward but, Yeah i'm gonna tip my
captain they're seven and three because it's better to be
seven and three than to be in the situation Of
vikings are in right.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Now if The vikings trail by ten or more at
halftime At, lambeau do you start max brows in quarter?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Three you're asking me this question of guardians.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Answer wait till the? Third so how about, You?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Dan And here's Where i'm at with The. VIKING I
i doubt seriously that they're gonna make the. POSTSEASON i
don't see. It maybe they can get the nine, wins
but they're gonna happen to have some good. Fortune their
schedule gets tougher. Too moving. Forward to, me we're at
the point where it's all about DEVELOPING jj over over
(14:32):
victories BECAUSE i just don't see how they they can
get on the. Run they need to get on the
order to make ay here they they're at the bottom
of the. Division they got passed The, lions The packers
and The. Bears you, know can he get the ten
wins from where they're at right? NOW i just don't see.
It and if you can't get the ten, WINS i
think you gotta start thinking of that big picture and it, becomes,
(14:55):
uh J, OE jj over, everything and it's gonna be
about getting some many, reps as many data, points as
many teaching moments you, know in his in his box
here as possible so this program can move, forward you,
know in the. Future That's that's Where i'm at with.
THIS i just, think, no, you no one wants to See.
(15:17):
Brozewan it's about GETTING jj up to being an ADEQUATE
nfl quarterback at least that's the goal.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Here what about training For Max jones in the. OFFSEASON
i do.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Think they're going to have to bring in competition. NOW
i think that that will help that will you, know
that will PUSH jj to be the best he can.
Be SO i do think they need to bring in
a capable quarterback during the, offseason, uh either by trade
or if they can sign one as a free. Agent
BUT i don't know what their cap situation is next,
year if they can afford to throw twelve million dollars
(15:50):
at someone who may not be in the. Backup you,
KNOW i think it was firing last year because they
had the space and AND i think the plan was
all along For darnald to be a, guy, right even WITH,
jj IF jj been. Healthy so BUT i think they
got to bring in some competition for the young man next.
(16:11):
Year AND i just want to maintain everyone. Here i'm
PRO judj. McCarthy i love them In. MICHIGAN i love the.
Background COULD i be biased because he's From chicago, area,
maybe but this talent there and there's leadership skills, there
and then that was there In chicago for week one
and listening to how the players talk about him and
what type of influence he is in the huddle and
(16:32):
the belief they have in. Him there is something about
him that you know that has players gravitating toward. Him
he's got some, Charisma he's got something about him that that,
said this guy could be a. Leader he just needs the, experience.
Man so we just need to need to need the fermentation.
Process we're watching the fermentation process go on before our.
Eyes and this is yet the latest. Example but how
(16:54):
it's so hard to win and develop at the same,
time especially when you're developing the toughest position in, sports
which is AN nfl.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Quarterback, yeah which isn't a reminder that The vikings miscalculated
spectacularly in that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Regard, uh he BECAUSE i had him winning twelve, games
BUT i thought the defens going to be lights out
and it was gonna be enough For jagon he. WINS
i don't, right we had.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Guards do you remember our? PICKS i don't even. REMEMBER
i was probably at ten and, seven.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
MAYBE i.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Was have you, recently AND i know this is kind
of a personal, question but have you recently attempted to
rewire any or all of your neurological?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Pathways?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Uh does drinking bourbon count is attempt to do?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
That actually it, might that's a good. Answer, yeah you
might be. RIGHT i don't.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
KNOW i don't think they're doing the kid any help,
man but, this, uh he's doing himself any any good
with with with some of the ways they talk about
just they're better off With. Zimmer we got to break,
them we got to do better on a couple of.
Habits we've gotta get fundamentally a little, tougher and we're
just gonna go out and make more.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Plays it's But i'm.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Saying that you were on this crotchety old coach kick
you Want chocolatemar to come back and take over the.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
WILD i do.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The, vikings, WELL i, MEAN i think that right, Now
Sometimes LAVEL i, think AND i know this is contrary
to what we in the media tend to. Like less
is more in uh in managing a, Crisis AND i
think these guys come from the belief that you crisis
manage by offering up each day platitudes and these extended
(18:41):
layered words salads THAT i don't really think get us.
Anywhere oh, YEAH i know it, Is AND i don't
know If i'm not sure at this. Point i'm not
even gonna get any water next year training. Camp i'm
a little worried about. THAT i might have to bring
my own.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Water, yeah thing Is soonan took it one so. Further
he was, like word. Salad, no it's more like a verbal.
Rainfort that was back when they were In europe and
talking ABOUT, jj and, YEAH j hasn't done himself any
any favors the WHOLE I i go into a phone
booth AND i come out with NOT, ja but its number.

i think several of the other. Ones the interesting one

to look it up.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
MYSELF i was limited in practice, today not participating, yesterday,
gotcha and.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
He is currently listed as. QUESTIONABLE i THOUGHT i didn't
think they did the designation until they do. It, okay
you might be. Right Maybe i'm projecting. There that could
very well. Be, yeah because he missed last, week we've
used him this. Week, yeah it's not supposed to. BE
i think the forecast is like here kind of ball
me for this time of year like, fifties AND i

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Closer so here's my, Question Doctor.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Dan if this whole football thing doesn't pan out For jay,
McCarthy do you think there's a chance you could slide.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Into a bullpen roll for The.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Twins we Know jay McCarthy doesn't have an off speed pitch.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Put in the, bullpen but in the bullpen you don't
really need.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
One you just need to throw Heat as you may,
know we have plenty of openings in the bullpen Since,
august and finding someone who can deliver heat when the
game's on the line is no small. Tasks just wondering
IF i should keep an eye on the waiver wire
or The vikings depth, chart always looking for a cheap.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Player D, falvey he strikes.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Me Does jay McCarthy as a guy who played several
sports growing? Up or was he already, well he, had
he's had a position coach since he was, six the
guy who got in trouble earlier this week Included so maybe.
Not maybe he was a guy who specialized. EARLY i
don't remember anything About jay McCarthy's high school athletic. Pursuits
(24:35):
if they, did if they went beyond the game of,
FOOTBALL i MEAN i doubt they.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Did, yeah because he played In illinois for a, minute
and then he went TO img, right he went.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Straight he's definitely one of those manufactured.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Guys, yes, sure The manchurian candidate, now, yeah something like.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
That you could say. That how About.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
SALISBURY i liked how he put. It i'm big on,
mechanics but not. Robotics, yeah that's a. Distinction it's a good.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Distinction, yeah free the, clutter no kill the clutter whatever
they the clutter out is what he kind of. Said
what was the method that they're making it sound like
it's more than clutter. Though they're making it sound like
if he doesn't DO abc AND d then he's going
to continue to complete fifty percent of his.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Passes SO i don't know what to, believe you, KNOW i.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Do, know Doctor dan got a couple of texts the
other day from people, saying run the same offense you
ran at the end of the. Game AND i didn't
run this By, salisbury although he kind of did, say,
well you saw how he played.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Late maybe maybe you give him.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Less to think, about fewer choices and you just let him.
React the comeback to that from football people most of
the time is that's not realistic over the course of
a sixty minute, game that that's going to catch up
with you and you're gonna get. Pounded maybe in the
short term you do go more you, know quick huddle
or in and out of the, huddle or not even
(25:57):
huddling at.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
ALL i don't, know BUT i.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Sooner if you're gonna be a big time, quarterback you
have to be able to do it in many different
facets and many different, situations not just the old we're
gonna line up and we're just.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Gonna i'm Gonna i'm gonna throw it WHEREVER i think somebody's.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Open remember the very Fashionable Marie condo method for. Decluttering
it was all the, rage like five years after we
talked about. IT i said, yes and everybody was trying
to do. It and then the best part about, it
the the end of the story Was Marie condo had
children and then realized it's impossible like what she was,
asking WHICH i thought was it was the greatest box
(26:35):
of all time because everyone was killing themselves Because marie,
conye just do that, Method everything's gonna be. Fine and
then then then she had. Kids she's, like, well this isn't.
Feasible no one can do. This, well, Yeah, marie thanks
for ruining it for able bring up because we need
that for it's.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Feasible but then you're gonna have a really a lot
of unhappy, children uh and nothing and get you'll give.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
It you'll be giving them nothing else to.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Do it depends on that what you prioritize YOU i
guess house or happy. Children, Yes, uh Somebody hendos SAYING
j McCarthy said he was a hockey guy as a,
kid and he was instantly In tenna's good graces at that. Point,
yeah we did love. THAT i feel like that was
even him, though just packaging himself.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
When he played. Hockey did he wear the? EyeBlack probably
it probably. Did, yeah probably even an indoor. Arena it's cold,
though when you meditate on the, ice you gotta make
sure your.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Breezers it's no, question Doctor, dan get a room. Already
what AM i listening to right? Now Compliments pats on
the back softball, Questions since when did you roll out
The davenport Of love WITH gms in this? Town you
(27:46):
spend three quarters of the show Ripping jay McCarty and k.
O'Connell then allowed Be garan to throw out the fact
that The wild started the season three and. Nine their
star player had a worse start than, Ours Doctor. Dan
so while you give Be garran multi seals of, Approval
i'm going to continue to collaborate without the. Clutter let
me know When jay McCarthy is out of your doghouse
(28:07):
and we can talk about the explosives he's throwing and
using every blade of grass and tell See carter the
only ring he has is the one of honor from
this story franchise did be? Garn just call you. Buddy he's,
right you have, Changed doctor Dan ka. Mensa, WELL i
(28:27):
try to get him going. On you're off on the.
Doghouse he's not in the. Doghouse he's not in the.
Doghouse what do you tell us about dog? House missed
a couple of, games.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Missed a couple of.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Games i'm sure there's there's such a thing as a
bill garon. Doghouse sting's any question about, that even though
he might not want to always admit to. It Doctor
day was a little soft on THE gm today BECAUSE
i think you gotta give, him let him breathe a little.
BIT i, mean we haven't won anything, yet but we
have had an improving performance. Lately we are climbing the
(28:56):
standings a, bit and we may well have a one
of those pleasant goaltender problems to goal goalies that we
can indeed depend, on including the. Kid and maybe that's
the comeback for OUR koc is that the reputation On
vaalstet coming into this season was what bust might not
(29:18):
be as much there as we thought there was as
highly regarded as he, was and what is the message message?
Speaker 4 (29:24):
There perhaps sometimes it does take.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Time as we talked about earlier in the, show the
box that The vikings themselves created was they had to
understand they were unfairly they're putting their their quarterback in
an unfair position this year because their, intention no matter
what they tell you, now was that we're going to
do this on the fly with the kid and be successful.
(29:49):
Immediately that's how much we believe in the, quarterback whisper
and the supporting cast that we've put around. Him, now
they didn't account free. INJURIES i get, that but they
put themselves. There they put the cells in a box
as far As i'm, Concerned and and none of that
Means jay McCarthy can't be great, later but it means
that this season is pretty close to lost unless you
(30:12):
go to The bay and, win and go To seattle and.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Win sounds Like Ryan kelly's gonna. Play that's. Awful, yeah he's.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Activated this sounds like they got rid Of dwight mcglothern
to make room for. Him so we'll see you gotta
wear that cap Those in all, SERIOUSNESS i Am i'm
worried about.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
THAT i, mean how can you not be how can
you not be for? SURE i like this. One i'm
gonna be careful at this, One dear Doctor.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Dan minnesota sports fans have been dodging me for, years
but it feels Like i'm piling up now more than. Ever, posture, poise, pupils, passes, bass,
balance body, balls rewiring, pathways cement needs to, dry being in,
process on track and back in. Process what does any
(31:05):
of this stuff even, Mean Doctor. Dan i'm having a
tough time with the stench from all of.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
This, sincerely BE, whoa that's pretty. Good that's well. DONE
i that's that's a good compilation of the word, salad,
right or the mantras or the sayings that might inspire
(31:31):
me to go even, deeper to try to get to
eat to the bottom of each and every one of.
Them going back several, months this came in While lava was.
On this is From robert and, SPEAKS i, think largely
to the same. Subject instead of o'connells endless, sloganeering, analytics scripted,
plays eyes and, feet feet and, eyes how about he
devised a, simple efficient game plan for.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
What the quarterback can actually do well at this stage
of his young. Career head, coach you're not doing the
young quarterback any. Favors, well that's gonna be the ultimate.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Test, right because he's obviously worked well with veteran and, quarterbacks,
right he, has there's no question about. That he's resurrected,
careers including that of S. Darnold but do we have
any history of him working great with a young.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Quarterback not. Yet it may, come it may.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Just be a matter of, time but it hasn't happened.
Yet and as we said earlier in the, show this
is probably the, key the single most significant decision for
the head coach and for his general manager in terms
of how long they're in their jobs with The Minnesota,
vikings because this has to work, out does it?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Not?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
NOW i guess you could say they could survive if
at the end of the year they opened the door
to somebody else like a Mac jones and they save.
It that, way you can save, IT i guess the
way the forty nine ers, did, Right but the advantage
of forty nine ers had was didn't Didn't lance get,
hurt and that's what opened the door TO.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
I want TO i feel like it was his. Ankle
did you break his? Ankle? Yes that made it, easy
uh to go to?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Party and then you, say, okay well we've we've discovered electricity.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Here this is a little bit of a different. Situation
let's do a couple of.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Walkoffs, here including one THAT i absolutely.

didn't think our cadences were as, Complicated AND i wonder
if that made it easier for the bear's defense to
read what we were and even you, know maybe project
what the we were up, to because my guess is
we had to dumb it down a little bit in that.
