Our eleven am guest.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
We always tried to and this is a quarter century
of love. Whether it's in the zone packer preview three
or four, people text asking us why we have this
person on our airwaves. He's an hof human that just

a feast when Sinecon a border battle feast and he.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Shows up, Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Look at him all the Charles Woodson jersey. It's a
beautiful thing. As these six three and one packers are
hosting the four and six Minnesota Vikings at TC had Cheese.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
We got previews, we got reviews.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
How are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
My brother?

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Good to see you boys.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
It's an awful jersey you have on great was.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Beautiful which which Buffalo Wild Wings was that years ago
when you were pelted and may have even needed medical care.
Crystal from Crystal Football's being thrown at your head as
you entered.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
So it was b Dub's Crystal.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
The Christian Ponder era is whatever years those were, that's
what happened.

Speaker 7 (01:47):
So you're saying that people were throwing like Ponder and
they were dramatically inaccurate, and they were actually aimed for
other people and hate you exactly. So that was the
Josh Freeman era. That was a short era. Ladies and gentlemen.
We didn't really get upper reaction here. So let's let's
try it again. From the fighting city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
By way, believe it or not, of my heart, don't

(02:09):
at me, don't at him?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
The host of.

Speaker 7 (02:13):
Packer Review and Preview at TC head Cheese via the
tweet machine, can we get a witness and a raucous
round of applause or booze for.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Dayvid synecon There we go, Here we go, border battle.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
I love this week. This is so great. See I
brought some muscle with me. Baby brother Dylan showed up.
Security serves many purposes for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Was that was good what pops cop ahead, mister Sincon.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
In terms of looking forward.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
To this border battle, every border battle is fun, Every
border battle feels important, and like snowflakes, they are constructed
unique and differently.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Indeed, what about this one?

Speaker 6 (02:55):
I think there's only one answer. It's the debut of nine.
We get to see nine at lambeau Field. Wait set
a chance to see nine?

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Wow, that would be your first answer. I thought it
would be actually seeing the home team win a game.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
That's a given.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
I want to see what nine's got in front of
the store for us that nine.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
What does Christian Watson have to do with anything?

Speaker 6 (03:15):
Oh, he's the better nine on the field, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh he's on the field, not even close touchdowns. Week
breaking news, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
Christian Watson is not dropping passes at US Bank Stadium.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
He's actually playing in games. Can I get a witness
in a round of applause?

Speaker 6 (03:32):
Our very clutch quarterback hit him with another comfort behind
game winning touchdown last Sunday. You know, I was listening
to you guys last segment, and my producer Brett Blakemore,
who of course is by our side here, sent me
a great caption to tweet out.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Which I did. Uh, Jordan Love. When it comes to clutch,
you don't think he has a clutch gene.

Speaker 7 (03:54):
Apparently, I don't know. He threw it to that Carolina
Panther guy who dropped it. We got Drake Greenlaw.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
But anyway, go ahead, Okay, if you if you go
back to two thousand and looking Plutsch rate among quarterback
Oh it goes Mahomes, Alan Love, Brady Breeze geez. When
it comes to comebacks of one to eight points, yeah,
in the fourth quarter of game. And he's only in
his third season at the starting so you can have
loved slander, but not when it comes to clutch.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh no, I apologize.

Speaker 7 (04:19):
No, he's actually top three when it comes to clutching
his neck in pressure moments and like squeezing on it
so that all of the clutch oozes out of his
ears and they take out.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
He already has four fourth quarter comebacks on the road
this season.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
You know what you're getting your money anyway, So in
quarter battle, David Sennekin at TC head Cheese via the
X Machine, I'm trying to tweet right now. Oh sorry,
so I need thinking, No, I need the cohorse to
talk all right, go ahead, cohorse.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
One thing that we've talked over the last few weeks,
and specifically it was getting hot after your squad loss
to the Panthers.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's kind of the idea this team.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
This franchise that they were kind of trying to paint
the picture culturally. The Packer play down two opponents. Yes,
and that was after, of course, what happened to Lambeau
against the Panthers. So now you got people asking Lafleura
in press conferences do you believe you're coaching for your job?

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Right?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
So I painted kind of the picture that the fan
base may be similar to the Vikings, that they think
they have something and they're feeling like it is an
incomplete project, not getting what you want.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Where's your head with all that? There's a lot to that.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
There's a lot of parallels right now between the two offenses.
You think you have a great play caller, but things
aren't really going the way you want. I think with Lafleur,
he hasn't trusted the offensive line this year. I don't
think he's called the game like he wants to call
the game because they haven't been able to block the
running game. I heard Alan talking about it. Josh Jacobs
did not forget how to run this season. They reshuffled
the interior that line. It's been a disaster. Now Jenkins

(05:49):
has done They've moved in Sean Ryan last week, Aaron
Banks finally had a decent day after the big pay day.
It looked better last week. But you're playing a Giant's
run defense that's terrible, So we don't know if that's
fools gold. If Lafleur had confidence in that line and
that running attack, nobody would be questioning his plate calling.
This is a dude that's winning, you know, at a
rate that few coaches have the first seven years of

(06:10):
his career. But it's been murky, you know, watching this
Packers offense, whether it's a line, whether it's injuries.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
We know about crap.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
Every wide receiver on this roster is limited in practice
this week.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
If you saw the injury.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
List, it's the longest injury list I've ever seen it,
Eighteen players on the injured list. It's like when you're
keeping the score in baseball and you need extra innings
and it's like, I feel.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Like they need new rows, but no.

Speaker 8 (06:32):
The receiving core is an interesting conversation, its own right,
because like there are times where I'm watching Romeo Dobbs
and Dontavian Wicks and I'm like, these guys can run
routes and Christian Watson's on the field and he's impressive.
And then there are times where you're watching him and
they're dropping passes like last week, and it feels like
the inconsistency even from that group hasn't allowed this offense

(06:54):
to get to a place that it might be able.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
To get to him.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
I right with that one hundred percent. I mean, you
guys had the drops last week. The Packers did two, four, five, six.
Even the Packers defenders dropped three or four gift rep
potential interceptions. The offense is still working its way and
this is the key part of the Packers season. They've
only had one division game so far this season. Now
they have three in a row, and as Alex said,
Jaden Reid hopefully back in two weeks for the Bears,

(07:20):
that unlocks a lot of what this offense wants to do.
But they've got to be better. Jordan loves putting the
ball in their hands. They just have to catch them.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
David Sinnekon at TC head Cheese Packer Review the podcast
with a double B.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Brett Blakemore Packer Preview.

Speaker 7 (07:34):
Is a double B on that show, Jim, he is
okay producing or co hosting.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
It's a producing I haven't listened for seventeen years. That's
all right, John, You're not my prime demographic. It's okay, Box.

Speaker 7 (07:48):
So when we return, more analysis on this game with
Sinny and it's a border bottle between the Vikings and
the Green Bay Packers. This weekend, we're chatting it out
at Buffalo Wild Wing Lane for.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
The Friday football. Stop being in my sing. We'll be
right back.

Speaker 7 (08:16):
Welcome back to Buffaloe, Kyle, and you're all fired up
Joe Burrow conversation. Got this entire table in front of us,
just all fired up.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Kidding may We got the b Ls in front of us,
and is a good table right here?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
What I would do to have a bunch of those.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Yeah, you're either you're either big fans of chili from Cincinnati.
You're betting on the Bengals this weekend. You've waited for
Joe Burrow for months to come. I don't know what
this Joe Burrow adoration is in front of me, but
I love him too. I think all three of us do.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
It's the Friday football Feast of Buffalo Wild Wings, Blaine
super Special, Sinny is here.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
In the now. I want Skyline Chili to bring it up.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
In the business, we call him the Sultan of smug
and we say it rather affectionately. Uh, yours truly as
a friend who's a it happens to be a big
fan of your work on the radio and Twitter and
podcasting and all that. And uh so therefore he follows

(09:13):
what you do and off some things that you said
last segment. Uh, the civil servant wants me to remind you.
Sinny also said against the Eagles, love plays his best
in prime time with the lights on, and how did
that play out?

Speaker 4 (09:29):
That was an ideal? That wasn't That wasn't his best night.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
We're gonna stop right there, you know what, because I
don't like when people like pull back three four weeks's.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Up and I said, just bury me with it. But
it's the Border battle. We go out of body.

Speaker 7 (09:42):
I mean seriously, the Viking cheerleaders were here for three minutes.
They saw Brett Blake Moore and left, So I mean
it's that true. I don't know what's happening here?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
But where?

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Where?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Where do you go?

Speaker 6 (09:53):
That you did put more points on the board than
the Lions did against the Eagles.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
You know that Eagles defense is legit right now?

Speaker 2 (09:59):
They're so good.

Speaker 7 (10:00):
Here's a text to the six four six eighty six.
Sinny likes to cherry pick the good with Matt Laflour
and chooses not to mention the spots that matter most.
Lafloor should be judged on playoff games more than anything,
and they are embarrassingly bad.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Embarrassingly bad.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
Hey, I don't watch them because I don't watch your
playoff game?

Speaker 2 (10:19):
So are they? I would wait?

Speaker 7 (10:22):
It was in San Francisco, and Lafloor crafted things perfectly
right to the end.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I've been Jordan's.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
So that was the year where the first year starting
quarterback was on the road as an underdog and had
his team played great with a chance to win the
game and possession the week previous to beating.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
An unbeaten team at home by.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
One thousand points, right because Aaron Jones and the red
touchdowns and kind of carried the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
But anyway, go ahead, you.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Watch the highlights of that Cowboys game. Jordan Love look
pretty good in that game. I will take my guy
ten times out of no, nine times out of time,
because he doesn't call himself ten.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
He knows who he is. He's Jordan Love. All right.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Well I'm kind of curious about that though, because Pia
has been throwing this stat around. Where at this point
of the season, is it just week twelve and beyond
since he became a starter twenty five touchdowns and and
then one? Yeah, well that was kind of similar last
year until you got to the postseason and Jordan Love
threw three picks in the disastrous effort I believe against Philly.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
You know what I mean. I have no recollection event
you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (11:22):
I don't mean to bring up when did Drake Green
get traded the Eagles?

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Crazy? Uh? At TC head cheese, Alan, please talk.

Speaker 8 (11:31):
You guys are picking on Jordan Love against the Eagles defense,
which is is.

Speaker 7 (11:36):
An analytical question involving the border battle. Yeah, I do,
please unfurl it.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
He's off football at this table. He picked the Packers
to win the division. You know what he's talking about.
He picked the Vikings to win this game.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
No, I did not sorry to cover, Perhaps to cover I.

Speaker 7 (11:51):
Said, it's possible. It's definitely doable. My question is also possible.
I went on poll tabs the next time I drive,
but it's that'll be never.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (11:59):
Uh, I'm curious about the secondary because entering the season,
I'm like, are they really gonna put this thing on
Keishawn Nixon and Carrington Valentine and then.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Oh wait super special? K nine?

Speaker 6 (12:10):
Well, I watch you want to tell cornerbacks right now?
Is that really where you want to go?

Speaker 7 (12:14):
Because I'm still trying to find Keyshawn Nixon's last interception.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
But here's what I'll be very good here. Yeah, here's
what I'll say.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Watching the film, I'm I'm kind.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
Of like highly impressed by this secondary and Xavier McKinney,
and I actually like Evan Williams.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
I don't know. Maybe maybe no, I do too, you don't, but.

Speaker 8 (12:30):
Like, how has this secondary been as good as it's been?
Because I couldn't.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Really you're telling me you wouldn't take Isaiah Rodgers over
any corner half.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Only if he's playing the Bengals. Other than that, I'm
not interesting. You know, Jake Browning in the Bengals, you
know the big thing, that's how the secondary was. You know,
they paid all the money to Nate Hobbs, who came
over from the Raiders pretty good and thought he might
be a boundary cornerback at every week.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
But well he's hurting now, he's got a bad need.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
But they may move Bullard to the nickel.

Speaker 6 (12:58):
Yeah, Bullard at the nickel has to be a step up.
And Valentine has been really good.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Bowler's games has zero picked been great?

Speaker 6 (13:05):
Now he's more of a run support guys. He's really
a safety in cornerbacks clothing.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, I wouldn't trash the defense you're gonna face on
Sunday too.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Right now, Pa, we're talking about because secondary.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Because Nine has a world of hurt in front of
him against Jeff Hafley's defense.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
I'm a friendly.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Well, I can tell you that the cork's about to
come off the bottle because I heard it myself that
Nine is going to offer you something.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Thank you, busy, So don't I'm out.

Speaker 7 (13:28):
I mean, when you face Aiden Hutchinson and you find
a way to beat him on the road, Holy cow,
I mean Colby Wooden, Wow, I mean I'm shaking to
my Genis hues right now.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, why did you just use an edge rusher?

Speaker 8 (13:39):
Of it and then use the defensive tackle rad you
chose the worst time. I know what, I think the
Packers secondary is better than the Vikings secondary.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Okay, how can that even be debated? Really at this point?

Speaker 6 (13:52):
I mean seriously, and I'm not that's a just objective of.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I like our corners, but I like you safeties more
the same.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
That pains me with number twenty two future h o
F and all of that, But two hundredth game, it
ain't the tenth game anymore.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Pro safety, you.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
Really trust K nine deeply in your heart to make
the big stop at the big time one on one
Keyshawn Nixon.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, it's his nickname, K nine, super Special.

Speaker 6 (14:18):
He's been very good. Look at the past break that's
not that's not my question. Yes, I trust him against
Justin Jefferson because.

Speaker 7 (14:24):
We're just gonna be zero. There's zero Chancey singles Justin Jeffers.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
No, but we're gonna just.

Speaker 6 (14:28):
Keep Nixon on the left side of the field because
we know he's not gonna have to worry about anything
on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Okay, here's hellion, here's a real question.

Speaker 8 (14:37):
The Vikings should be able to run the football. Yes,
why wouldn't they be able to run the football.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Oh we go.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
That's the story of the game. They're run the football.
Look at the teams that have given the Packers trouble,
Arizona around the ball, Carolina around the ball, the Giants
round the ball. I don't know how the Packers stopped
say Kwon Barkley, that held him to under three yards
of carry.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
How did Judkins do against you guys in that Cleveland debacle?

Speaker 6 (14:58):
Yeah, that was a triple performance for the young rookie.
That was all coming late. I mean we're up ten
to nothing with five minutes left in the game. But
the run defense has been very shaky of late. Like
Carl Brooks and kway Walker are going to miss this game.
If koc can get it in his head that he's
got to run the football and do it over and over,
there could be problems for Green Bay.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
You can run on this team right now.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
And that's the recipe for an upset or a recipe
for a fourth quarter in doubt? Is the Viking's not
abandoned in the run On Sunday.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Coach of the Year caught astray?

Speaker 3 (15:29):
So where does that where does that issue or where
does that opportunity lie? Is it Wooden in the interior
post Kenny Clark Universe, you mentioned the lack of.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Quay and potentially Carl Brooks.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Can you run at Parsons when he's in the game, Like,
what are these issues? Because I'm just I'm looking at
like Davante Whytet. I think he's evolving from somebody. It's
like who we drafted him too high to being a
week to week player, wouldn't stepped in earlier? A little
bit of thrust in the interior from a pass rush standpoint.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
But where are we running the ball on you? One side?

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (15:58):
Up the middle Davante? Why, I come up to a
real good start, but he's been really quiet since coming
back from his injury. For Shan Gary, he's only playing
half the snaps right now. Enigbari got half the snap,
so I'm not sure what's going on with Gary right now.
But you can't run at Parsons. That is like slander
that that's such a misnomer.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
The dude's around side, very.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
Good and run support. But up the middle they like
Kolby Wooden, but he's hit or miss. He's not consistent.
Why it's still working his way back the soft underbelly
right now is running between the tackles and the Green
Bay's got to show they have an answer otherwise, you
guys can control the clock. The Giants controlled the ball
for thirty six minutes last week and out gain Green
Bay and everything because they just kept running the football

(16:38):
to Tyrone Tracy. Your guy's backs are a lot better
than Tyrone Tracy, So Anybay's got to have an answer
for that.

Speaker 7 (16:44):
Seriously, speaking trash talking aside, what does Isaiah McDuffie do well, Like,
what makes.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Him McDuffie reference?

Speaker 2 (16:53):
He said, well, no, yeah, well he plays the top.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
It's good.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
It's good.

Speaker 7 (16:56):
I'm just trying to figure out, Like, it's like, what
does he do to merit all of that time on
the field?

Speaker 4 (17:03):
So what would you say you do here? He's good
in run support.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
He's never seen the movie Off.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
He's cerebral.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
You know, he played for halflee at Boston College. So
Hafley's got a soft spot for Isaiah McDuffie though they were.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
So now we're playing favors with friends. You trust him,
that's great, that'll go. You're gonna ask me, is if
Aaron Jones going to get into the end zone from
a sentimental standpoint copyright KO.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
You want the real answer for me, you keep Eric
Wilson and you move on from Isaiah McDuffie in the
offseason because Wilson was really good for this team and
didn't get the run he's getting for the bikes. Look
what he's doing, getting a chance to play full time.
McDuffie is a step back from even the aged Eric Wilson.
He's solid, he's nothing special. They got a kid, Tyron
Hopper in the mixed third round pick a year ago,

(17:47):
who's going to take his spot next year. But he's
getting a lot of run. It's the last go around
for McDuffie for the pat where Tyrone Hopper play college?

Speaker 8 (17:56):
Uh yeah, Missouri, that's one of our greatest talents.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
You gotta are you a mister A who is the.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
Like Missouri football immortality all time?

Speaker 8 (18:08):
Jeremy Macklin, Oh yeah, he's up there. I don't know,
it's not it's not exceptional.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Quick question.

Speaker 8 (18:14):
So if they don't have Kway Walker and the vi
this is real in the weeds and the Vikings go
heavy and they try to run the ball, is it
gonna be Hopper? Edger and Cooper and isam Isaiah McDuffie.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Is that like the.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Personnel Edgering, Cooper's the bomb.

Speaker 7 (18:28):
Cooper Cooper is the bomb He's And if you notice
the change with him with Michael Parsons, I mean it's
like he had fourteen TFLs last year, he is two
this year. Sacks are down, tackles are up, playtime is
way up. Yeah, it's just been a schemat something schematically
is changed with him with Parsons.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
I think the defense is still trying to figure out
what they are with Parsons and how to best use
everybody else around Parsons. The talker this week in Green
Bay is nobody else is getting after the quarterback besides
Micah Right now, everybody's dropped off. So if you guys
put a lot of attention on one, I like to
call him one, as you know they will.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
So he calls himself one.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
He doesn't, but I called he should call himself one.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
But it's his neurological pathway.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
We need support from the other guys. Rashaun.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
Gary's getting a lot of slander rightfully, so he's been
a no show of late. I want to see if
he responds against likely what you're starting five up front, right,
the preferred starting five. That's a big thing to have
all those guys. It's uh yeah, it's Look, it's the
easiest game left on our schedule, which, come on, it is.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I mean, I'm not. It's not slander.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
No.

Speaker 8 (19:31):
Likewise, for us PACTOR's schedule has been light. I didn't
realize how light they're se.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
Well, you build up this great record beating teams like
Clint and Carolina.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
I mean it's we have the same schedule the Vikings have.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's identical, don't we don't play in Carolina? Yeah, but
they didn't. They didn't get to go to Dublin and
whar England. Yeah, for four of.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Your final six after today are division games.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
And then at Denver and Ravens at home. So tell
me Sunday is not the easiest game left.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
And that's why the Lions are going to win the division.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
We talked about this earlier, Sinny, the idea of if
Jacob's plays, or whether and whether or not Jacob's plays, Yeah,
how much he matters to what you want to do
with Jordan, what you want to do in totality on offense,
your thoughts.

Speaker 6 (20:14):
Well, he returned to practice yesterday, which I didn't expect
to see. So it does give him a chance to play.
The offense is entirely different. I like Emmanuel Wilson. Chris
Brooks is going to play thirty forty percent of the
snaps with or without Jacobs because he's the blitz guy.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
He's the picker up.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
Or if you look at the play of the game
third and ten last week, or it was a nice
block he held off a guy for like three or
four seconds. They love Chris Brooks, but the offense is
not what Laflor wants it to be. If if Jacobs
isn't out their break and tackle. So I'm desperately hoping
he plays on some.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Jordan Love needed four seconds to make a fifty to
fifty throw to a guy in the clutch.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
And have time to tell him to go deep. He
needed that time for the hand gestures.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (20:53):
In closing, I need help with this because I wasn't
quite familiar with this guy until I started getting over
to TC this week. Uh, save on Williams, Savian Williams.
Tell me about Savion Williams. I've heard his name a
lot at the old Vikings facility.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
The third round pick out of TCU.

Speaker 7 (21:11):
Had, like you said, better than Marcus Golden already.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
Well, Matthew Golden will probably get.

Speaker 8 (21:16):
His Marris Golden played in Miszoo.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
That's why he said it.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
I was just looking at that name looking for Yeah,
that's one of those mental pathways switch Central Brothers, Missouri's finest.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
He had to play a bunch of like wildcat quarterbacks
last year at TCU, which really hurt his drafts stock
because nobody really knew if he was a legit receiver
because he was carrying the ball so much. So he's
become kind of this gadget play guy. They'd like to
put the ball in his hands, but he's had a
couple of miscues of late.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
The trust level's gone down.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
That's why I was so surprising to see him going
deep on a big play on third down and coming
down with it. He's big, He's like six three, two
hundred pounds. He could run like the wind, a lot
of upside, but they haven't trusted him as just a
typical wide receiver running round. But with all the guys
banged up, he's getting a shot. Although he was in
a walking boot two hours before kickoff last week, coming

(22:06):
off the bus and still was able to play and
make a big play, so they like him. This felt
like a red shirt year for him, but with all
the injuries, he's had to step up and play a bit.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Matthew Golden is part of that conversation. First round pick,
everyone doing, they finally did it?

Speaker 6 (22:20):
What do you think I want to see some more
targets thrown his way? You know he's getting like two
three targets a game. He's dealing with a bad shoulder. Interestingly,
remember college last year, this time of year, nobody really
knew who he was.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
At Texas. It was like the last.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Few games made he exploded onto the scene. So I
guess we're kind of hoping to history repeats. As the
schedule kind of winds down to the big games, Matthew
Goldwood becomes a bigger.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Part of this offense. My man, a great seeing you
and invested up to your team.

Speaker 7 (22:46):
This weekend twenty three, nineteen twenty three, I'm gonna say
Vikings cover. It'll Spikings cover seventeen to nine. All right,
good scene, perfect quarter battle, Come on, now give him
a round the po He drove all the way here
from his hometown of Fridley, so give him around or

(23:08):
is adandover give him around of applause. David senekon final segment, neck,
all right, thank you very much for coming out to Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Wild Wings Blaye.

Speaker 7 (23:24):
For the Friday Football Feast. We feast next Friday, day
after Thanksgiving at Buffalo Wild Wings Mall of America. Big
day for kf A N at least the first two
radio shows at Mall of America with the wildly successful,
highly talented and popular Power Trip Morning Show. They'll be

(23:45):
there seven to nine in the rotunda Power Trip, Corey Cove,
Saucy Saucy Seahawk and a bunch of ancillary players they
like the Pips and those three would be the gladys Knight.
They'll be at the row Ton seven to nine next
Friday for the Power Trip Football Feast and nine to

(24:06):
now is a Buffalo Wild Wings All of America for
the Friday Football Feast next Friday in front of the
game against the Seattle Seahawks. Now, Alex Lewis is he's
nice enough to send us what's known as a doc
to document with a bunch of thoughts on the upcoming game,
previous games and things like that. Alex Doc dynamics were

(24:30):
chalked full of a bebby a bevy of pertinent nuggets
into this weekend's game, so pertinent indeed Nordo printed the
mountain areas.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, I want to do I wanted to start here,
and I love the way you're right up by the
way vulgarity is in such a side upsetting my Midwestern sensibilities.
I wanted to talk about the tight ends. We mentioned
Tucker Craft out of the mix. Not sure what they're
getting or will ever get out of Muskrave from a
pass catching perspective, but it's one thing we've talked about
multiple times this year. Plays into old combos and just

(25:01):
success is we've seen offenses going heavy against us at times.
It can be Mount Washington with the Steelers, Fred Johnson
with the Eagles, obscure tight end, you name it, and
they make plays against us in the run blocking scheme.
And also you can find them leaking out what did
they do from a tight end perspective and the potential

(25:21):
of them going heavy in US having to match that.

Speaker 8 (25:23):
Yeah, Well, the Vikings have done a much better job
against these looks. They haven't been perfect against them, like
there have been times where the Ravens and the Bears
were able to run the football, but the Vikings are now.
They'll put four defensive linemen on the field and really
run like a six to one front where it's like,
all right, you're not running the football.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
In these looks. The Packers will do everything.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
They will go three tight ends with John Fitzpatrick, Josh
Wiley and Luke Musgrave. They will go jumbo with this
guy Darien Cannard who they'll bring in.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
So they do.

Speaker 8 (25:54):
Everything, and I expect them to try to force the
Vikings to be able to stop it. I feel much
better right now than I did a month and a
half ago about the Vikings ability to stop it because
they've made the adjustments.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
So yeah, it's it's gonna be interesting to see.

Speaker 8 (26:09):
How the Packers try to run the football in this game,
especially if Josh.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Jacobs doesn't play.

Speaker 7 (26:15):
I'm curious to see how this game is officiated. And
here's why, because I don't generally share this on Fridays,
but I'm not told I can't. It's just I like
to save her for Sundays. The referee this week, and
is Carl Sheffer's okay. The Sheffer's staff calls the second.
What's funny every time everybody hears Sheffers of the way

(26:37):
you say it. Sheffer's his group calls the second most
penalties of all the crews in the NFL. Great they
called the most offensive holding of all the officiating crews,
second most defensive pass interference, and the most for defensive
holding that they've called twenty four defensive pass interference.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
That is so by far clear of the pact.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
It's actually interesting. So I mean, but think about it.
It's you know, like I mean, love more of a
veteran than McCarthy. McCarthy ain't afraid to throw the coach,
isn't afraid to throw the quarterback, you know, And then
you got all the Shepherds intel here.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
So what do you guys think?

Speaker 8 (27:13):
No, I mean, I you know that probably in many
ways helps the Vikings out. I mean, you know, it's
gonna be harder probably for Keyshawn Nixon and Carrington Valentine
to stay with Justin Jefferson Jordan Addison. Then the other
way around, I speaking of Jordan Addison, like it really
would be nice as much as you want to see
Justin Jefferson get going with the connection that JJ McCarthy

(27:36):
had with Jordan Addison in training camp. It really would
be nice to see Jordan Addison just rip a bunch
off on, you know, especially if the packers are loading
up on on justin this weekend. So no, it's that's interesting.
Carl Sheffer's just every time I hear his name or
see him, I just I just think we're gonna be
like it's it's gonna be some fluidity and then there's

(27:56):
gonna be stoppages.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
And that's a four hour game though, But but that
helps the team great. I would say this.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
I mean, we've talked about lack of identity and maybe
a times lack of discipline. I mean, the biggest issue
for the Vikings penalty wise has been the pre snap
and it's been that.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
So as long as you're not telling me.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
That Sheffers calls the most false starts or the most
illegal formation penalties, I tend to agree. I think that
this that that is actually a feather in the cap,
potentially of the purple. Now, uh speaking of feathers and caps,
I'd like to see balls in uh in in our
we hold up.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Wait, it's not twelve o one in the side.

Speaker 8 (28:31):
Speaking of Feathers and cat I'd like to see that
that was.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
An awful transition, and that's my fault in your How
are we going to turn this kid over? Stat's stats
playing into and what Pier was saying, twenty five touchdowns,
one pick for for for Jordan Love. Uh, this team
finding takeaways and in post in post games, we can
talk about the ball bouncing one way or the other,
and we're just inches away from the tip pass becoming

(28:56):
a basket catch pick. It's not happening. And this is
into the els. How do we turn these guys over?

Speaker 8 (29:03):
Yeah, you can't let him sit back there and just
pick you apart. And they will do a lot of
quick game stuff out routes where he's pretty good. Yeah,
but there are a lot of instances where if he's
moved off his spot, he's trying to create. He does
a good job creating, but that's usually where the errors
come and he'll try to get aggressive down the field.
So I would expect Brian Flores the last few times

(29:26):
they've played has brought extra pressure. Now he's needed to
because the Vikings didn't have great interior pass rushers.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
So how he tries to go about it it's gonna
be interesting.

Speaker 8 (29:37):
And then again, it's like Javon Hargrave, Jalen Redman, Jonathan Allen,
these guys need to be able to give it to
this interior offensive line, and I don't I don't see
a reason why they can't just given the talent.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Because they've been inconsistent with it all year. They have been.

Speaker 8 (29:53):
I feel like Jalen Redman's been the most consistent.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
Javon Hargrave of late Cardo's crime for the return of
Kiris Tonga, I mean it got to that point.

Speaker 8 (30:03):
Kyris Tonga, Jonathan Bullard, Jerry Tipn No no, I but
I extra pressure probably, And then I mean Seneca was
talking about it. But Brian Flor has done a great
job of making Brian Flair's has done a great job
of making these opposing running backs passwordtech. So if it's
a Manuel Wilson and Chris Brooks, you got to make

(30:24):
sure they stand in there against Eric Wilson, and nobody
really has proven they can do that.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
So I don't that help mitigate their ability to run too,
because we saw that in the win at ford Field,
where I mean we're all ooh in and I and
over Jamiir Gibbs every single week.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
He's an absolute game changing back.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
But when he was forced to stand in there and
keep Goff up right, Gibbs had one of the least
productive games of his career. And you get to Gough
five times in the process. If you are worried, whether
it's Jacobs or whoever else, Wilson and Brooks, the ability
to continue to deploy Eric Wilson the way they have,
along with getting more from our interior, I.

Speaker 8 (30:58):
Think that could be an a topic, no question, And
that's one way to get Jordan Love off his spot.
If Eric Wilson just flying, you know, through the middle.
But I'm serious, if Jordan Love has time to just
sit back there and pick you apart over the middle
of the field against wide zone, you know, big zones
and coverage, he will do that. The last thing I'll say,
and this is very in the weeds. Last year, Week seventeen,

(31:19):
the Vikings threw a major curveball at Matt Laflora and
Jordan Love by playing man coverage like forty percent of
the game. La Floor said after the game he didn't
expect that.

Speaker 7 (31:28):
Remember when Laflora ran fifteen yards out on the field,
and Vinovich gave him an unsportsmanlike conduct because Matt threw
one of his patented temper tantrums.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
And he can do that.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
But I would I would say seeing that last year,
Week seventeen would make me believe that the Packers are
going to enter this game with a lot of ability
to be versatile, knowing that Brian Flora is probably going
to throw a curve ball.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
The theme in the explosion of this defense, though, I
mean we're talking it's two full seasons now, and in
three of those four games, Flores has found his way
to the QB. I mean, I think it's eight sacks,
it's four or five picks. It's like a nine to four,
nine to five ratio. So that's kind of where my
faith lies in this game. I mean, we talked about
the simplicity of it. Don't give it to the other team,

(32:11):
you got a chance to win. I just my faith
in this game and the ability for the upset is
is Flora is just making their day as sloggy and
slow as possible.

Speaker 8 (32:20):
The formula for this game is to do is to
apply the formula that we all thought prior to the
season this team was gonna have to lean.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
On to do the thing they're not doing. Run the
football and.

Speaker 8 (32:32):
Play defense and be really playmaking on defense. If you
do those two things, the Vikings can very very much
win this game.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
There's no doubt. And I say this all the time.

Speaker 8 (32:41):
Like in college football sometimes the spreads become twenty eight
thirty five, so that you know. But in the NFL
it's a six point spread. It's a very winnable game
as long as those two things happen. Run the football,
turn the ball over, defensive THEA thank you very much
