Marshall toot reporters. Hallis and his team were quitters and
crybabies meat sauce early in the season when when they
when they'd been when they had beaten them seven to three.

and there's the old headline and stuff in the old newspaper.

Gonna go ahead and transition to sports now sports. The
Minnesota Vikings won, and they won big. Hell he thirty
one and nothing. But it wasn't only your Minnesota Vikings
that won. This weekend, Indiana beat Ohio State and college
football and what was one of the most fun games
ever to watch that didn't score a lot of points.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Did you watch that game, Benjamin?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I saw bits and pieces of that game. Yes, I did.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
We were at a Christmas party on Saturday night and
they had actually playing behind the bar, and a lot
a lot of dudes were just like, not mingling, but.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Just watching the game. Yeah. That's yeah, it was great.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
An incredible story. Can they sustain it for some time?
They're Indian Indiana, I'm not sure. I mean, it was
a hell of a run that Wisconsin had before they
remember who they are, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So let's hope they can do it.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
But the fact that they not only played with but
actually beat Ohio State on Saturday in the Big Ten
Championship game, what a what a turnaround for SIGs.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Don't some of.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
These stats and you know, accomplishments go back from to
like nineteen forty five yea, like the last time that
they were sitting at the number one seed or well.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Yeah, and they have Cuban money now like Mark Cuban.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Is that does that doesn't play in the United States
of America.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
No, Mark Cuban. Sorry.
Speaker 4 (10:38):

you're talking.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
About cigars, they make a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I also heard that there are quite a few starters
on that team that are that were recruited to play
at James Madison where he was And.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
So yeahawks said that, Yeah did you did you already
mention that? No yesterday, but oh yesterday.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
So think about that like coaching matters, yes, yeah, you know,
these are these are kids that some of these kids
were destined to be at that level of college football
and they're out there competing and beating five star recruits
to Ohio State, right, yes?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
And then Ben, it's such a legacy that James Madison
makes the twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And they're in the college football playoffs? Yeah, I mean,
come on, I mean, what a cool story. Sweet your
gift is to go to Oregon. But and you're a
twenty and a half point dog. But still they made it.
It don't matter.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah, you put yourself in a position to make it.
And who knows, you know, if these are the type
of kids that can win at Indiana, why can't they
go to Oregon and knock those guys off?
Speaker 1 (11:50):

Yeah, the hearst doesn't have a trailer, hitch bitch what
he said?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, whatever he said.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
I could make the argument that I think there's a
bigger porn problem with men over sixty five than there
are with teenagers these days. I mean, did you think
about the amount of work that went in to those
sixty five plus guys when they were teenagers and they
(16:56):
were all horned up? Well, I mean, like where could
you find it? There's a you couldn't. You couldn't buy
it at the gas station unless you snuck it.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
They're the same magazine, over and over, the same magazine,
over and over.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, there was someone that used to work on this show.
Used to be on here a couple of days a week.
They follow every.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Single woman that is ever signed up for a social
media account?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Are you talking about Mark Rosen? He follows every single woman.
Do you not understand how the internet? Do not understand
every one that he has a reporter? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
And you only know that because you stumble across it,
and says followed, followed by Mark Rosey.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, he on his Instagram, right, he follows some some
gal named Carrie Elwis.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Who's that?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Hey, listen, I'm going to go back to Ben's point,
and i want to defend all of us who are
of a certain age.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You're not over sixty five. I feel like.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Rob Marc Rosan, probably Mark Rosen, Chad GPD, Ben, imagine
your whole life. You listen, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (18:13):

Speaker 7 (18:15):
Is this the.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
End ste.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Your head?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Because I'm really trying to concentrate and if I look
at you, I get distracted imagine your whole life. You've
been fed gruel, gruel, and it's enough to sustain you.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
But it's just gruel.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
And not only have you been fed that gruel, you've
been charged money for it. Not a lot of money,
but money. And so you're paying for something you don't
necessarily like, but it works. And then suddenly, sure you're
sixty five, but you've got every type of sexual perversion
available to man, and it's for free. I changed it
(18:58):
from food tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, you switched it from watch strings.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
My point is you are right in the we can't
believe that it's all there and it's all free, be
and and and you said, we but go ahead, and
that all those different things are possible because in my
generation we had military position and super hairy ladies. Right

to generation. But now these kids today don't appreciate it.
They don't appreciate it. They don't appreciate this, the subtle
nip slip. You know what, I mean, yeah, they don't
appreciate a little handy cheek because they've seen it.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I'm trying to think, I'm trying to think of that's
the podcast title.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Hany cheap appreciate outline. They appreciate the outline. Would appreciate
the National Geographic the way we did spray National Geographic.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, those things were in all the
right spots.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Would be interesting to know is how many younger people
and I would say even I would even put myself
in this category because I don't think I have ever
like looked at a printed out picture and.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Really yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Serious, all all digital magazine.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Not even the Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
You know what maximum you know what's that you have
an assignment for tonight.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Is the night?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
No, no, don't print it out, like find a magazine. Find
a magazine because you can't use the color printer here
at work. So yeah, the thrill of actually physically turning
the page and not just scrolling thumbnails yeah, yeah, it's
way different.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
It's it's way different. It's way different.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Knowing the page that's going to help you finish. Yep,
that's the one that got gross. Be more careful. Suddenly
that got real gross. But be careful. It does happen suddenly.
You're right.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You know what, I just realized something with that lack
of experience, guys, a paper cut can be dangerous, So.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Be real careful. I'll take my fingers up with band aids.
It's not your finger. I'm worried about that, God, your finger.
They also had staples in those things.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
No exaggeration, I am not. I am not putting hot
sauce in this story at all. When I was a kid,
I would say it was probably seventh or eighth grade,
just prime, like yeah, the head.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, it was like it's like that's all you thought about.
The top was runneth Over Wizard. Me and my buddies
found out.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
We heard it was almost like an urban myth that
in this wooded area stuck into the hollow of a
tree was a hustler magazine that was rolled up and
shoved in the In me, it was it was a
buddy of mine's older brother that like stashed his magazine
in that tree. We found the tree and there was
(25:26):
you could see that the end of You could see
the end of the magazine rolled up like old.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I can't even tell you, guys, how much effort and
time and thought went into extracting that one magazine day.
I'm not I'm not getting daze.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Did you get it out?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
No?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
We never got it out because it was like it was,
it was like stuck in there and we didn't have
the tools to like physically cut the tree down. But
we were like lord of the flies on this thing, like,
we have to get this thing out.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I'll meet you back at the tree tomorrow with a
different idea.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
If you go through your dad's garage cut this thing.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Out, I kid you not do. That's beautiful. Yes, it
was our treasure hunt. Yes, and you guys went outside. Yeah,
we were out.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
The thing is like we were outside, we were using
our mental resources. We were trying to figure this thing
out all because we were all jazzed up to see
what was in those pages.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yes, and you know what's ironic. The thing you could
have used the most was a beaver.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Mm hm, well played one hundred percent. So if I
could hold that beaver in my hand in this habit.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yes, yes, it's worth not on that tree.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
So just be clear though, no happy ending. No, you
never got it too, that is it possible? Till yeah,
hawks on his way the location. I do feel like
it's a core memory. I could probably find that tree
right now.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I love that story. No compass, No, yeah, that was
so great. What is the Boy?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yeah, you gotta find Merlin And what a good happy memory. See,
these these kids have no idea the lengths that we'd
go through.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Just just a season. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
There was a man like a convenience store in the
neighborhood I grew up and as a kid, and they
would throw away their magazines.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Oh my god, yes, and somebody dumpster died for magazine.
Brother found it out.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Oh yeah, we oh yeah, they and then yeah, we
would put them in like a plastic bag and then
put them somewhere and then we would all know where
they were and we yeah, oh yeah, it was great.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You have to check it out like at the library. Yeah.
Oh yeah. You look around and go, oh yeah, we'll
be back.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And then you'd see people. You'd be like, I'm gonna
they were too week people. Oh yeah, oh yeah, stacks
of them we found in this dumpster.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah, and now it's in everybody's phone in their pocket.

they want with the Raguar gift card. Ben, Yeah, we've
talked about it a lot. Yesterday, a big game from
(30:10):
a bunch of players, specifically though that offensive line looked fantastic.
Was that a result of a defense that was lack
luster or an offense that's coming together?
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Well, going back to what we talked about with Kevin
Seffert's post, I believe it's it all kind of works together.
When the ball gets out quickly, you know, you don't
really have to protect all that long.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
You know, we didn't. We didn't give up a lot
of free rushers, which they did.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
But when you when the ball comes out and it's
designed to come out quick, and McCarthy was delivering and
executing the way he's supposed to, it does make the
offensive line look better. I mean, that's that is how
team football works. I mean, they get a lot of
praise now because they're like, hey, you guys, relative kept
him relatively clean.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Like we talked about the four sacks.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
But when the ball gets out quick and it's accurate, hey,
everybody wins. So but they did. And you look at
the the rushing game. I mean, everybody has been talking
the whole season, let's run the football, Let's run the
football on first down, Let's run the football on second
and short, and third and short.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
They did all of that yesterday.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
It's like everything was answered yesterday in the best possible way.
Where we ran the ball thirty one times excluding the
kneel downs. At the end of the game, thirty one
rushes you put up thirty one points. There's an absolute
correlation between the successive both.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Yeah, when you're running the ball more than you're passing
the ball. There's only twenty three attempts in the past,
excuse me.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
On the past.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
One thing I thought was interesting is that JJ McCarthy
still was thrown the fastballs, but it was like they
designed the routes to actually be able to he didn't
have to have the multiple different throws and stuff like that.
But man, he was just accurate and decisive.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, I think his accuracy really.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I mean, you look at the first drive, and I
know that most of the first drives he's always looked
pretty smooth and comfortable. But he had an he had
an outcutting rude I think, to the left side towards
their sideline, and he.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Put it out out in front of the receiver.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
The receiver didn't have to do anything other than catch
it and turn and try to pick up a few
extra yards. Like those are the little things that are
going to matter, and that's what high level quarterbacking is,
Like just don't hit it right in his chest or
like put in a spot where he can just continue
to keep running and try to pick up some extra yards.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
And I thought he did a good job of that
all game.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
A bunch of deeper out routes, he had a throat
to Jordan Addison from the right hash all the way
to the Vikings left sideline, that didn't sail over the
top of his head, didn't hit the ground three three
yards in front, like hit him right in stride, right
in the belly button.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
It's like, look, kid, you can do it.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
I know that not every play is the exact same,
but I think that we've seen enough now, like you
can make those throws, man, Yeah, Like, don't try to
overthink even that.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Stuff, Like you can do it. The offense was so
efficient yesterday as well.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
I know, going into the at the halftime show, they
had yet to have a three and I don't think
I can remember a three and out.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Well they only punted once, right, and that was not
a three and out?
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Yeah, they punted once, Yeah, and it was on a
where is it here? It was a six played three
six play three yards they made? Was there like a
penalty or a sacke? Yeah, there was a five yard
penalty and incompletion and then a sack and then they punted.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, but it wasn't three and out.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I made a big deal about this yesterday during the game,
and I think it still holds true even at the
end of the game. This statistic actually matters, and this
is a This is what we hope happens for the
next four games is just worry about picking up first downs.
That's all we need to do. Just be efficient, move
the chains. At the start of every series and including
(33:47):
all the first downs we picked up, we had twenty
five first down plays. Twenty five first down plays, and
we averaged like four point seven per first down play
in the first half, and then it was like six
yards or something like that.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It was the third quarter was a ridiculous number.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
It was six point seven yards in the second half
that we averaged on first down.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I mean, that's that's Think about that first half.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
You're almost at second and five every single time, and
then the second half you're almost at second and three
every single time.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I mean, that's that's how you win.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yeah, that's how you That's how you take the pressure
off a quarterback. I don't care if he's a young
quarterback or a veteran quarterback. You know how much easier
it is to operate when it's like okay, cool, like
let's just make a simple throw here on second down,
hopefully pick up a first down and move the chains.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
If not don't worry about we're third and three.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
We're cool.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah, play calling is a lot easier, your options are easier.
So winning winning on first down to me was the
biggest metric of the whole game.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
Yeah, I mean, and it also there was also a
lot of they shrunk the game. That nineteen play, ninety
eight yard twelve minute drive.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
And it's just shrinks the game. It's the second drive.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yes, and yeah, it keeps that defense on, you know,
probably for forty real time minutes on the field.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
That was outstanding. Yeah, that wears that defense out. That
just puts the quid in them, right, And that's exactly
what they needed to do. They shrunk the game and
it helped the kid immensely well. And then flip it around.
I mean what we've talked about the last couple of games,
like our defense is getting exhausted.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you can see the defense about
mid third quarter just start to lose the gas. They're like, oh, man,
like we just don't have enough. You know, we're running sideline,
the sideline where it's hard to defend all these guys.
We still have to blitz and run our and execute
our defense, which requires a lot out of them, you know,
running around a lot and covering certain spots, and so
those guys are finally getting arrest on the sideline.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
And then you see the result of it.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
When you put the pressure on the other team against
our our pressure package and our blitz package, we get
three takes, yeah, which we've struggled to get takeaways the
whole seas and because we're never playing with the lead,
So no three and outs.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
He punted.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Once you get three turnovers, that's an ass weapon. And
the time possession definitely in your favorite That is why
you get a thirty one zero game, And that's amazing.
Can I wet blanket just a little bit?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, I don't know if you do.
And I'll tell you why, muss. Yeah, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
I don't mind because I don't want to say it's
over if JJ has a bad week, and I don't
want to say he's John Elway if he has a
good week, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So go ahead, Red, but on one thing. Well, and
it's the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
If you look, Jets only had two receptions eleven yards yesterday.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
The week before.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
You take those two games four receptions total, fifteen yards total.
Gotta get him involved, you just have to. And then
the other one is Addison with some.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Of these drops.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
I mean, not the easiest of catches, but that's what
you're supposed to do. He the one in the end zone,
he lost the one that would have been a first down,
and then the throw was there.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Yeah, you know, I have to admit I was listening
because Abigail had an orchestra concert yesterday, so I went
down to that. I was listening and were the drops
bad because they didn't sound That sounds ridiculous, but you
get my point. They didn't sound that bad on the radio.
Were they bad drops?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
No, It wasn't like he was just running across the
field and then you know, hit his hands.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Yeah, yeah, fly.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
No, I mean these he contested throws, definitely, and low throws,
especially like the one for the end zone that I
was talking about, where he should have had a touchdown.
I went right through his arms. And then the other
one he just missed. It was on the boundary and
that was a good throw. It was exactly where it
needed to be. Yeah, But that's but Addison's had some drops,
(37:38):
and this team has had some drops they're not helping
their guy out sometimes.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, they've had some really bad draps.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
But you don't think about him when you you know,
win thirty one rip.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
And when when my best catches the game is done
by one of your linebackers.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, yeah, by the gink, Yeah the.
Speaker 6 (37:53):
G I thought he was going to the house saying
he's so good, so good that happen again. He just
always puts himself in a great position about every play he.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Do because he's smart.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Yeah, I mean, that's what happens when you you know
there there is there's so much value in film study,
and there's so much value in taking that film study
into the actual game and then applying it into the
game situation, you know, like and he has shown time
and time again that he is he's watching film, he
knows how to apply it.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
He knows exactly the game situation of.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Like okay, well, and the thing is even outside of that,
if you're an outside rusher and you're a free rusher
on the outside and you sense three step, well you're
always taught put the brakes on. You're not going to
get to the quarterback. So get your hands up. Stop,
stop what you're doing. Get you get your hands up,
(38:50):
maybe try to affect the play, but then you you
put the extra layer on top of that. When he
understands the threat to his outside and what they could
be doing in that situation, he puts it all together
and constantly makes the same play over and over again.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
And you got to love the fact that he's quiet
about it. I mean it's not like he I mean,
massive plays, but you never like see him on the field,
you know, celebrating. You never see you know, he really
rarely does interviews.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Well, even when you ask him about it, he's like, well,
what happenss Like I just watch film. I had a
feeling that what's going on. I haven't understanding what's going on.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
That's like, you know, the tight end had a big game,
yestery two touchdowns. I heard you talk to him after
the game.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
He didn't like there wasn't a lot of excitement and
exuberance out of him as well. I mean you just
a standard interview.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Very businesslike.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Yes, two receptions both for touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, pretty cool now, I mean, not a lot to say, right,
just h that's the business what we do.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
I was I was kind of disappointed.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Did you guys see Kaoss posts his locker room speech
where he hands out all the game alls and stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Oliver doesn't get a game ball.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Good point, I like the guy had he had two catches,
two touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah he should have. Maybe he doesn't get a game ball.
Not imagine all the dirty work that he normally doesn't know.
And they went out of their way to give JJ
his game ball very early in that video he's the quarterback. Well, yeah,
I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve it. I'm not
saying he deserves it, but it was. I mean, they
gave a.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Game ball to Jonathan Allen for playing really having a
good game against his former team.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Hawk got one, and Hawk was that obviously.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Well I was trying to be I was trying to
be a good dad.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yes, Za got one. Well I got too. He always
gets two games, always get two balls. Yeah, like take
a shower, dude, Yeah, gross buddy, Yeah, don't have gaming balls.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Anyway, there you go.
Speaker 6 (40:46):
How did they let me ask you this Lee where
I know we have to go to break here quickly?
But how do they sustain this? How was this repeated
against a similar bad defense in Dallas?
Speaker 7 (40:59):
Well?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I think it again.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
It all starts with running the ball with consistency and
not given. The thing is, it's not as if you
know when obviously, I mean, when we're taking the law
of averages, it's not like every play was four point
seven yards. I think everybody understands that. But when you
are when you are running and you get six or
(41:21):
seven yards on a run but then get stuffed at
for zero or one, well, don't get frustrated and be like, oh,
you know, we can't run the football like no, like
just stick to it. Maybe just come up with a
different play. I mean, you got a whole playshet of
different calls against different defenses. So like, I think that
we've had a tendency in the past, you know, I
don't know. I mean there's a lot of games where
(41:41):
we're like, we get stuffed. I mean, even look at
last weekend Seattle. The reason why we had that quarterback
bootleg on fourth and one was because they felt like
they couldn't run the football against that defense because we
had like five runs or six runs up to that
point that went for like two yards. So I just
think that even though you might be getting stonewalled, you
(42:02):
continue to run the ball. Because we had two touchdowns
on first down. In that game, that touchdown to Josh
Oliver was on first down. It was a first down
play action play. So just the act and the action
and the commitment to running the ball will open up
things down the field. So don't get away from that.
That is the formula.
Speaker 6 (42:21):
The Cowboys are fourth to last in yards given up.
They are dead last in passing yards given up, dead
last in the league.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
But see that's the thing though, like we shouldn't. We
shouldn't get enamored by that when they're putting together the
game plan and be like, oh, this is the game
we're going to throw forty five to fifty times.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
No, No, we can be.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Explosive and chew up those yards and exploit them still
by running the football.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
Because you got to keep their offense off the field, nod.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
And you got to have those defenders commit to stopping
the run because we all talked about like the last
thing you want to do as a defender is to
get run through the whole game.
Speaker 6 (43:00):
They almost average four hundred yards a game on offense.
That's a top tier offense. Yes, it's the best of
the league. Yeah, yards wise, Yeah, yeah, all we have
all we've got to do is just first play the game.
Just sucker punch Pickens. Just hit him right in the gut.
I don't care if we get a flag, and then
he'll be mentally done for the rest.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Of the US.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
He's out. He's got a little meat sauce to him.
Speaker 6 (43:24):
It quits when it's not going his way, or as
we now say, a little notre dame to him.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Yeah, we'll talk about coach foot By.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
And also I want to talk about going forward on
fourth and one on your own thirty one yard line,
if that kind of bit is maybe going by the
wayside pretty quickly here, we'll talk about that. And I
want to tell you guys about a podcast that I
just had. I found by accident this weekend that completely
overtook my entire weekend. I was so fascinated by this
(43:51):
true crime podcast. It's the most well done, encapsulated podcast
I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
So I'll tell you guys about it when we come back.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
It is Patrick Moore Show a O two Your Vikings,
win thirty one and nothing will break all that down.

nineteen forty, the Chicago Bears beat the Washington what was
then Redskins now the Commanders in the NFL Championship Game.
(02:14):
George Hallis was your coach. They brought a six and
two record to the meeting with the Redskins in Washington.
Chicago lost three to seven. The Redskins owner George Preston
Marshall toot reporters. Hallis and his team were quitters and
crybabies meat sauce early in the season when when they
when they'd been when they had beaten them seven to three.
(02:36):
So on December eight, nineteen forty, in the NFL Championship game,
Chicago went to Washington and beat them seventy three to nothing.

don't poke the bears, don't.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
The bear, don't poke the bear bears.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You know, it's fun when you go to to Chicago
or obviously Green Bay when they have the old posters
on the wall that like from the old headlines in
like nineteen forty seven when the Packers won the championship
and there's the old headline and stuff in the old newspaper.

Gonna go ahead and transition to sports now sports. The
Minnesota Vikings won, and they won big. Hell he thirty
one and nothing. But it wasn't only your Minnesota Vikings
that won. This weekend, Indiana beat Ohio State and college
football and what was one of the most fun games
ever to watch that didn't score a lot of points.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Did you watch that game, Benjamin?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I saw bits and pieces of that game. Yes, I did.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
We were at a Christmas party on Saturday night and
they had actually playing behind the bar, and a lot
a lot of dudes were just like, not mingling, but.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Just watching the game. Yeah. That's yeah, it was great.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
An incredible story. Can they sustain it for some time?
They're Indian Indiana, I'm not sure. I mean, it was
a hell of a run that Wisconsin had before they
remember who they are, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So let's hope they can do it.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
But the fact that they not only played with but
actually beat Ohio State on Saturday in the Big Ten
Championship game, what a what a turnaround for SIGs.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Don't some of.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
These stats and you know, accomplishments go back from to
like nineteen forty five yea, like the last time that
they were sitting at the number one seed or well.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Yeah, and they have Cuban money now like Mark Cuban.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Is that does that doesn't play in the United States
of America.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
No, Mark Cuban. Sorry.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
And I also heard, aside from the communist money that
you're talking.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
About cigars, they make a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I also heard that there are quite a few starters
on that team that are that were recruited to play
at James Madison where he was And.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
So yeahawks said that, Yeah did you did you already
mention that? No yesterday, but oh yesterday.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
So think about that like coaching matters, yes, yeah, you know,
these are these are kids that some of these kids
were destined to be at that level of college football
and they're out there competing and beating five star recruits
to Ohio State, right, yes?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
And then Ben, it's such a legacy that James Madison
makes the twelve.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And they're in the college football playoffs? Yeah, I mean,
come on, I mean, what a cool story. Sweet your
gift is to go to Oregon. But and you're a
twenty and a half point dog. But still they made it.
It don't matter.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah, you put yourself in a position to make it.
And who knows, you know, if these are the type
of kids that can win at Indiana, why can't they
go to Oregon and knock those guys off?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (11:50):

Yeah, the hearst doesn't have a trailer, hitch bitch what
he said?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, whatever he said.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
I could make the argument that I think there's a
bigger porn problem with men over sixty five than there
are with teenagers these days. I mean, did you think
about the amount of work that went in to those
sixty five plus guys when they were teenagers and they
(16:56):
were all horned up? Well, I mean, like where could
you find it? There's a you couldn't. You couldn't buy
it at the gas station unless you snuck it.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
They're the same magazine, over and over, the same magazine,
over and over.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, there was someone that used to work on this show.
Used to be on here a couple of days a week.
They follow every.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Single woman that is ever signed up for a social
media account?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Are you talking about Mark Rosen? He follows every single woman.
Do you not understand how the internet? Do not understand
every one that he has a reporter? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
And you only know that because you stumble across it,
and says followed, followed by Mark Rosey.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, he on his Instagram, right, he follows some some
gal named Carrie Elwis.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Who's that?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Hey, listen, I'm going to go back to Ben's point,
and i want to defend all of us who are
of a certain age.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You're not over sixty five. I feel like.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Rob Marc Rosan, probably Mark Rosen, Chad GPD, Ben, imagine
your whole life. You listen, I'm sure.

at you, I get distracted imagine your whole life. You've
been fed gruel, gruel, and it's enough to sustain you.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
But it's just gruel.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
And not only have you been fed that gruel, you've
been charged money for it. Not a lot of money,
but money. And so you're paying for something you don't
necessarily like, but it works. And then suddenly, sure you're
sixty five, but you've got every type of sexual perversion
available to man, and it's for free. I changed it
(18:58):
from food tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, you switched it from watch strings.

My point is you are right in the we can't
believe that it's all there and it's all free, be
and and and you said, we but go ahead, and
that all those different things are possible because in my
generation we had military position and super hairy ladies. Right
(19:29):
now there's like, oh my god, it's old Cory buffet.
Speaker 1 (19:44):

the National Geographic the way we did spray National Geographic.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, those things were in all the
right spots.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Would be interesting to know is how many younger people
and I would say even I would even put myself
in this category because I don't think I have ever
like looked at a printed out picture and.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Really yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Serious, all all digital magazine.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Not even the Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
You know what maximum you know what's that you have
an assignment for tonight.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Is the night?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
No, no, don't print it out, like find a magazine. Find
a magazine because you can't use the color printer here
at work. So yeah, the thrill of actually physically turning
the page and not just scrolling thumbnails yeah, yeah, it's
way different.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
It's it's way different. It's way different.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Knowing the page that's going to help you finish. Yep,
that's the one that got gross. Be more careful. Suddenly
that got real gross. But be careful. It does happen suddenly.
You're right.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You know what, I just realized something with that lack
of experience, guys, a paper cut can be dangerous, So.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Be real careful. I'll take my fingers up with band aids.
It's not your finger. I'm worried about that, God, your finger.
They also had staples in those things.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
No exaggeration, I am not. I am not putting hot
sauce in this story at all. When I was a kid,
I would say it was probably seventh or eighth grade,
just prime, like yeah, the head.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, it was like it's like that's all you thought about.
The top was runneth Over Wizard. Me and my buddies
found out.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
We heard it was almost like an urban myth that
in this wooded area stuck into the hollow of a
tree was a hustler magazine that was rolled up and
shoved in the In me, it was it was a
buddy of mine's older brother that like stashed his magazine
in that tree. We found the tree and there was
(25:26):
you could see that the end of You could see
the end of the magazine rolled up like old.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I can't even tell you, guys, how much effort and
time and thought went into extracting that one magazine day.
I'm not I'm not getting daze.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Did you get it out?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
No?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
We never got it out because it was like it was,
it was like stuck in there and we didn't have
the tools to like physically cut the tree down. But
we were like lord of the flies on this thing, like,
we have to get this thing out.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I'll meet you back at the tree tomorrow with a
different idea.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
If you go through your dad's garage cut this thing.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Out, I kid you not do. That's beautiful. Yes, it
was our treasure hunt. Yes, and you guys went outside. Yeah,
we were out.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
The thing is like we were outside, we were using
our mental resources. We were trying to figure this thing
out all because we were all jazzed up to see
what was in those pages.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yes, and you know what's ironic. The thing you could
have used the most was a beaver.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Mm hm, well played one hundred percent. So if I
could hold that beaver in my hand in this habit.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yes, yes, it's worth not on that tree.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
So just be clear though, no happy ending. No, you
never got it too, that is it possible? Till yeah,
hawks on his way the location. I do feel like
it's a core memory. I could probably find that tree
right now.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I love that story. No compass, No, yeah, that was
so great. What is the Boy?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yeah, you gotta find Merlin And what a good happy memory. See,
these these kids have no idea the lengths that we'd
go through.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Just just a season. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
There was a man like a convenience store in the
neighborhood I grew up and as a kid, and they
would throw away their magazines.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Oh my god, yes, and somebody dumpster died for magazine.
Brother found it out.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Oh yeah, we oh yeah, they and then yeah, we
would put them in like a plastic bag and then
put them somewhere and then we would all know where
they were and we yeah, oh yeah, it was great.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You have to check it out like at the library. Yeah.
Oh yeah. You look around and go, oh yeah, we'll
be back.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And then you'd see people. You'd be like, I'm gonna
they were too week people. Oh yeah, oh yeah, stacks
of them we found in this dumpster.
Speaker 3 (28:02):

they want with the Raguar gift card. Ben, Yeah, we've
talked about it a lot. Yesterday, a big game from
(30:10):
a bunch of players, specifically though that offensive line looked fantastic.
Was that a result of a defense that was lack
luster or an offense that's coming together?
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Well, going back to what we talked about with Kevin
Seffert's post, I believe it's it all kind of works together.
When the ball gets out quickly, you know, you don't
really have to protect all that long.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
You know, we didn't. We didn't give up a lot
of free rushers, which they did.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
But when you when the ball comes out and it's
designed to come out quick, and McCarthy was delivering and
executing the way he's supposed to, it does make the
offensive line look better. I mean, that's that is how
team football works. I mean, they get a lot of
praise now because they're like, hey, you guys, relative kept
him relatively clean.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Like we talked about the four sacks.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
But when the ball gets out quick and it's accurate, hey,
everybody wins. So but they did. And you look at
the the rushing game. I mean, everybody has been talking
the whole season, let's run the football, Let's run the
football on first down, Let's run the football on second
and short, and third and short.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
They did all of that yesterday.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
It's like everything was answered yesterday in the best possible way.
Where we ran the ball thirty one times excluding the
kneel downs. At the end of the game, thirty one
rushes you put up thirty one points. There's an absolute
correlation between the successive both.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Yeah, when you're running the ball more than you're passing
the ball. There's only twenty three attempts in the past,
excuse me.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
On the past.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
One thing I thought was interesting is that JJ McCarthy
still was thrown the fastballs, but it was like they
designed the routes to actually be able to he didn't
have to have the multiple different throws and stuff like that.
But man, he was just accurate and decisive.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, I think his accuracy really.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I mean, you look at the first drive, and I
know that most of the first drives he's always looked
pretty smooth and comfortable. But he had an he had
an outcutting rude I think, to the left side towards
their sideline, and he.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Put it out out in front of the receiver.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
The receiver didn't have to do anything other than catch
it and turn and try to pick up a few
extra yards. Like those are the little things that are
going to matter, and that's what high level quarterbacking is,
Like just don't hit it right in his chest or
like put in a spot where he can just continue
to keep running and try to pick up some extra yards.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
And I thought he did a good job of that
all game.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
A bunch of deeper out routes, he had a throat
to Jordan Addison from the right hash all the way
to the Vikings left sideline, that didn't sail over the
top of his head, didn't hit the ground three three
yards in front, like hit him right in stride, right
in the belly button.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
It's like, look, kid, you can do it.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
I know that not every play is the exact same,
but I think that we've seen enough now, like you
can make those throws, man, Yeah, Like, don't try to
overthink even that.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Stuff, Like you can do it. The offense was so
efficient yesterday as well.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
I know, going into the at the halftime show, they
had yet to have a three and I don't think
I can remember a three and out.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Well they only punted once, right, and that was not
a three and out?
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Yeah, they punted once, Yeah, and it was on a
where is it here? It was a six played three
six play three yards they made? Was there like a
penalty or a sacke? Yeah, there was a five yard
penalty and incompletion and then a sack and then they punted.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, but it wasn't three and out.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I made a big deal about this yesterday during the game,
and I think it still holds true even at the
end of the game. This statistic actually matters, and this
is a This is what we hope happens for the
next four games is just worry about picking up first downs.
That's all we need to do. Just be efficient, move
the chains. At the start of every series and including
(33:47):
all the first downs we picked up, we had twenty
five first down plays. Twenty five first down plays, and
we averaged like four point seven per first down play
in the first half, and then it was like six
yards or something like that.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It was the third quarter was a ridiculous number.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
It was six point seven yards in the second half
that we averaged on first down.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I mean, that's that's Think about that first half.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
You're almost at second and five every single time, and
then the second half you're almost at second and three
every single time.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I mean, that's that's how you win.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yeah, that's how you That's how you take the pressure
off a quarterback. I don't care if he's a young
quarterback or a veteran quarterback. You know how much easier
it is to operate when it's like okay, cool, like
let's just make a simple throw here on second down,
hopefully pick up a first down and move the chains.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
If not don't worry about we're third and three.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
We're cool.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah, play calling is a lot easier, your options are easier.
So winning winning on first down to me was the
biggest metric of the whole game.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
Yeah, I mean, and it also there was also a
lot of they shrunk the game. That nineteen play, ninety
eight yard twelve minute drive.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
And it's just shrinks the game. It's the second drive.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yes, and yeah, it keeps that defense on, you know,
probably for forty real time minutes on the field.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
That was outstanding. Yeah, that wears that defense out. That
just puts the quid in them, right, And that's exactly
what they needed to do. They shrunk the game and
it helped the kid immensely well. And then flip it around.
I mean what we've talked about the last couple of games,
like our defense is getting exhausted.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you can see the defense about
mid third quarter just start to lose the gas. They're like, oh, man,
like we just don't have enough. You know, we're running sideline,
the sideline where it's hard to defend all these guys.
We still have to blitz and run our and execute
our defense, which requires a lot out of them, you know,
running around a lot and covering certain spots, and so
those guys are finally getting arrest on the sideline.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
And then you see the result of it.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
When you put the pressure on the other team against
our our pressure package and our blitz package, we get
three takes, yeah, which we've struggled to get takeaways the
whole seas and because we're never playing with the lead,
So no three and outs.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
He punted.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Once you get three turnovers, that's an ass weapon. And
the time possession definitely in your favorite That is why
you get a thirty one zero game, And that's amazing.
Can I wet blanket just a little bit?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, I don't know if you do.
And I'll tell you why, muss. Yeah, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
I don't mind because I don't want to say it's
over if JJ has a bad week, and I don't
want to say he's John Elway if he has a
good week, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So go ahead, Red, but on one thing. Well, and
it's the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
If you look, Jets only had two receptions eleven yards yesterday.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
The week before.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
You take those two games four receptions total, fifteen yards total.
Gotta get him involved, you just have to. And then
the other one is Addison with some.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Of these drops.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
I mean, not the easiest of catches, but that's what
you're supposed to do. He the one in the end zone,
he lost the one that would have been a first down,
and then the throw was there.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Yeah, you know, I have to admit I was listening
because Abigail had an orchestra concert yesterday, so I went
down to that. I was listening and were the drops
bad because they didn't sound That sounds ridiculous, but you
get my point. They didn't sound that bad on the radio.
Were they bad drops?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
No, It wasn't like he was just running across the
field and then you know, hit his hands.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Yeah, yeah, fly.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
No, I mean these he contested throws, definitely, and low throws,
especially like the one for the end zone that I
was talking about, where he should have had a touchdown.
I went right through his arms. And then the other
one he just missed. It was on the boundary and
that was a good throw. It was exactly where it
needed to be. Yeah, But that's but Addison's had some drops,
(37:38):
and this team has had some drops they're not helping
their guy out sometimes.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, they've had some really bad draps.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
But you don't think about him when you you know,
win thirty one rip.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
And when when my best catches the game is done
by one of your linebackers.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, yeah, by the gink, Yeah the.
Speaker 6 (37:53):
G I thought he was going to the house saying
he's so good, so good that happen again. He just
always puts himself in a great position about every play he.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Do because he's smart.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Yeah, I mean, that's what happens when you you know
there there is there's so much value in film study,
and there's so much value in taking that film study
into the actual game and then applying it into the
game situation, you know, like and he has shown time
and time again that he is he's watching film, he
knows how to apply it.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
He knows exactly the game situation of.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Like okay, well, and the thing is even outside of that,
if you're an outside rusher and you're a free rusher
on the outside and you sense three step, well you're
always taught put the brakes on. You're not going to
get to the quarterback. So get your hands up. Stop,
stop what you're doing. Get you get your hands up,
(38:50):
maybe try to affect the play, but then you you
put the extra layer on top of that. When he
understands the threat to his outside and what they could
be doing in that situation, he puts it all together
and constantly makes the same play over and over again.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
And you got to love the fact that he's quiet
about it. I mean it's not like he I mean,
massive plays, but you never like see him on the field,
you know, celebrating. You never see you know, he really
rarely does interviews.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Well, even when you ask him about it, he's like, well,
what happenss Like I just watch film. I had a
feeling that what's going on. I haven't understanding what's going on.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
That's like, you know, the tight end had a big game,
yestery two touchdowns. I heard you talk to him after
the game.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
He didn't like there wasn't a lot of excitement and
exuberance out of him as well. I mean you just
a standard interview.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Very businesslike.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Yes, two receptions both for touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, pretty cool now, I mean, not a lot to say, right,
just h that's the business what we do.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
I was I was kind of disappointed.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Did you guys see Kaoss posts his locker room speech
where he hands out all the game alls and stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Oliver doesn't get a game ball.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Good point, I like the guy had he had two catches,
two touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah he should have. Maybe he doesn't get a game ball.
Not imagine all the dirty work that he normally doesn't know.
And they went out of their way to give JJ
his game ball very early in that video he's the quarterback. Well, yeah,
I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve it. I'm not
saying he deserves it, but it was. I mean, they
gave a.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Game ball to Jonathan Allen for playing really having a
good game against his former team.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Hawk got one, and Hawk was that obviously.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Well I was trying to be I was trying to
be a good dad.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yes, Za got one. Well I got too. He always
gets two games, always get two balls. Yeah, like take
a shower, dude, Yeah, gross buddy, Yeah, don't have gaming balls.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Anyway, there you go.
Speaker 6 (40:46):
How did they let me ask you this Lee where
I know we have to go to break here quickly?
But how do they sustain this? How was this repeated
against a similar bad defense in Dallas?
Speaker 7 (40:59):
Well?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I think it again.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
It all starts with running the ball with consistency and
not given. The thing is, it's not as if you
know when obviously, I mean, when we're taking the law
of averages, it's not like every play was four point
seven yards. I think everybody understands that. But when you
are when you are running and you get six or
(41:21):
seven yards on a run but then get stuffed at
for zero or one, well, don't get frustrated and be like, oh,
you know, we can't run the football like no, like
just stick to it. Maybe just come up with a
different play. I mean, you got a whole playshet of
different calls against different defenses. So like, I think that
we've had a tendency in the past, you know, I
don't know. I mean there's a lot of games where
(41:41):
we're like, we get stuffed. I mean, even look at
last weekend Seattle. The reason why we had that quarterback
bootleg on fourth and one was because they felt like
they couldn't run the football against that defense because we
had like five runs or six runs up to that
point that went for like two yards. So I just
think that even though you might be getting stonewalled, you
(42:02):
continue to run the ball. Because we had two touchdowns
on first down. In that game, that touchdown to Josh
Oliver was on first down. It was a first down
play action play. So just the act and the action
and the commitment to running the ball will open up
things down the field. So don't get away from that.
That is the formula.
Speaker 6 (42:21):
The Cowboys are fourth to last in yards given up.
They are dead last in passing yards given up, dead
last in the league.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
But see that's the thing though, like we shouldn't. We
shouldn't get enamored by that when they're putting together the
game plan and be like, oh, this is the game
we're going to throw forty five to fifty times.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
No, No, we can be.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Explosive and chew up those yards and exploit them still
by running the football.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
Because you got to keep their offense off the field, nod.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
And you got to have those defenders commit to stopping
the run because we all talked about like the last
thing you want to do as a defender is to
get run through the whole game.
Speaker 6 (43:00):
They almost average four hundred yards a game on offense.
That's a top tier offense. Yes, it's the best of
the league. Yeah, yards wise, Yeah, yeah, all we have
all we've got to do is just first play the game.
Just sucker punch Pickens. Just hit him right in the gut.
I don't care if we get a flag, and then
he'll be mentally done for the rest.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Of the US.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
He's out. He's got a little meat sauce to him.
Speaker 6 (43:24):
It quits when it's not going his way, or as
we now say, a little notre dame to him.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Yeah, we'll talk about coach foot By.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
And also I want to talk about going forward on
fourth and one on your own thirty one yard line,
if that kind of bit is maybe going by the
wayside pretty quickly here, we'll talk about that. And I
want to tell you guys about a podcast that I
just had. I found by accident this weekend that completely
overtook my entire weekend. I was so fascinated by this
(43:51):
true crime podcast. It's the most well done, encapsulated podcast
I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
So I'll tell you guys about it when we come back.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
It is Patrick Moore Show a O two Your Vikings,
win thirty one and nothing will break all that down.
