Is hey uh speaking of which a lot of times there are celebrities in movies and X NFL players you know Anthony Munoz is in that movie is he really you remember the part where I think it’s John Glenn and Allan Shepard which would be Ed Harris and Scott Glenn I think it

Hall of Fame left tackle for the Cincinnati Bangles best left tackle ever I’m going to give it to him he’s in the conversation I don’t know if he is but he is definitely in the conversation you know when that that one guy I can’t remember which one it was it peed in his
Suit Alan Shepard yeah did you ever pee in your suit when you’re flying a helicopter Jose permission granted to wet your diapers anytime Son no we had this thing it was like a I call it piss bag but it was like a plastic it looked kind of like a like a plastic hospital bag but it had like a a dried sponge in it so the only time I
Really had to use it we were flying over the ocean and you really couldn’t really leave one guy up there by himself so I had a one of the flat engers grab me a bag and I peed in that but normally no normally we would land enough where you
Could get out and pee or whatever I thought the you were gonna say the only time I used it is when all the red lights were flashing on the dash and a voice was saying pull Up come here come here P up pull up that would be the only time I whizzed no no I nothing hey show us your shirt real quick before we get started sorry I’m late I don’t want to come I don’t want to I don’t want to be here I do but you

Last week if you go back and watch that we were spot on about absolutely everything the only thing the only thing we couldn’t have predicted is Josh dos coming into the game we we pretty much we pretty much bam we blasted through that preview like yeah you’re going
Through Mach One baby let be up WR this old mock meter jum clb off the scale don’t kind of screwy on me you go ahead and bust it we’ll fix it personally I think you’re seeing things now could be I’m still going upstairs Like a Man Out of hill

Is light the candle yes resume the countdown There we go we’re back baby all right so jiren Hall goes out Sunday second Drive gets knocked out on the field and by the way when you saw that you ever seen in the right stuff where joerger I think he’s in the X15 he might have still been
In the X1 but he goes mock 2.5 and at some point he gets like the little tunnel vision he starts blacking out hits his head against the canopy and it looks like he’s going into a flat spin and he’s gonna die and the whole season’s over and then he kind of covers
And Josh job’s like yeah I got it let’s Go that’s kind of what Jaren Hall what happened to him yeah when the back of his helmet hit the turf there it looked like a pretty serious hit and you thought it was over we did man after Gus gam blew the hatch on on and the and the capsule sank and all
That there’s a there’s kind of a scene where joerger says you know takes a special kind of man to volunteer for a suicide mission especially on TV and it kind of felt like that’s what Josh dos was doing and if he had had a Josh Freeman game I
Couldn’t have pend anything bad on him I mean like you can’t expect a dude to do well when he has what three days of practice and he barely knows the plays on the game plan what’s up y’all um Josh dos honored to be in Minnesota introduce myself I’ve been in you know similar
Situations first it was you know jiren get up I hope he’s okay um but then it was you know hey like if you’re playing you got to go out there and and play like team still expects you to go out and win and play good football you know
There never you know in this league man there’s there’s never an excuse for your circumstance you I learned that from Coach T you know usually you know people don’t really care about your circumstance they just want to see you succeed given the circumstance you’re
Given but he he comes in and he he does an unbelievable job I say borderline mirac I mean I think did you see that coming did you see that performance coming no I didn’t I thought when Darren hall went out we were G to get the time of
Possession was just going to be so tilted we wouldn’t be able to keep up even though Atlanta is not a Powerhouse I didn’t feel good about at that point good about the game but what about dos you’re running an offense NFL offense of guys you don’t even know you’ve never
Thrown to if you thrown to somebody for a couple years you at least know the receiver’s Tendencies what he likes that win stands out it’s one of the best wins the Vikings have had in a long time I would argue you have to consider it if you’re thinking top 10 alltime wins not
Because of the opponent they played and not because where it mattered in terms of postseason play although the Vikings are if the playoffs will start today are the seventh seed in the NFC but just just for the fact that Josh dos could come in and even remotely run this
Offense well and then to top it off a two-minute game-winning drive one of the best two-minute drills I’ve seen the Vikings run in a while the the whole thing is is just has this storybook Fairytail element to it that Hollywood would not have touched with a 10 foot
Bowl they just wouldn’t have we talk about the Vikings being the most entertaining team at football yeah this like went to the next level above that I mean this was crazy football Ted a wicked wicked mistress Wicked mistress indeed but because of that performance and jiren Hall still in concussion
Protocol the Vikings made the call very early Kevin oconnell said I think in his Monday press conference that Josh OBS is gonna get to start this week against New Orleans and you know we were discussing this on on our Sunday postgame show with our good friend Christopher Gates who
You could see every Sunday on this very YouTube channel with Vikings report rewind we’re live with you after every game and I was the only guy between us three that thought jiren Hall should be starting if he cleed cleared concussion protocol but you know when you look at
It I don’t know if you saw any of the the locker room postgame speeches or celebrations or stuff that’s come out since then I I don’t see how even if jiren Hall was healthy you could go back to him at this point after the reception that Josh dos got in that
Locker room after that game you have to play DOS what’s he gonna say what what else am I supposed to do to get the start he at least earned another week and I’m hoping we don’t have us saying next Sunday after the game with Chris Gates on our postgame live show I hope
We’re not saying what happened to the dobs we had last week I hope we’re not going to say that but after a highly emotional win that might be an intangible to look at for this week even though we’re going to be at home Hall wasn’t doing bad he was doing well but
Look what dos just as a game progressed and we talked about his dual threat ability I mean 66 yards on the ground the third largest rushing performance of a Viking this year but Alexander Madison had 93 and high 70s low 80s and the uh third highest rushing game this year was
By Josh dobs last Sunday and a couple of big ones you know that fourth quarter one of course when he threw the guy off his back then earlier in the game I think second quarter when he ran that one down to the two yep for a first down
I think that was third down I think it was and then he he threw that touchdown P to Madison and then he had the touchdown run uh later as well I think the line of scrimmage was around the 15 give or take and then when he got chased
In the pocket and had to bail out to the right when he made the decision to run he was standing on the 30 yard line and right and got the edge to the left cam Acres absolutely flattened a dude a defensive tackle Absol just flattened him and allowed dobs Ted that was Josh
Dobs from Tennesse volunteers 2016 that that’s what he looked like I I wondered like before he went in he had the Allen Shepard prayer right before right before they lit that can I was like dear Lord please don’t let me up I think that’s a standard pilot per
Every every guy flew whatever we said that I did anyways did you that I did oh yeah didn’t want to do is screw up something up and get killed and kill a bunch of other people we got to take that copter up one of these days you and
I no I I got no business being being on with the controls one of those anymore that’ll make it funner yeah sure sure it’s nice to win that way and get your fourth in a row Ted because we’re now five and four did you see that coming I mean you’re
Sitting at one and four you just lost defending Super Bowl champion now your your star wide receiver is out probably they you know they said I think that day he’s probably going to go on the IR because of because of the hamstring did you see this coming in your wildest
Dreams no I didn’t we talked about this a month ago we were hoping for two and two yeah there’s been three things that have happened Kevin oconnell is is being much better play caller than he was the first six games seven games of see whatever the Vikings are in the top five
Of the NFL with committing penalties the last three weeks against the Falcons we had one penalty for four yards and then you get the depth guys what Flores is getting out of the depth guys on defense since that Niner game Ted they’ve been on a roll since that game like their
Whole whole belief and their confidence seems higher and they haven’t completely eliminated the turnover thing I mean Kurt Cousins had an interception I think in that 49ers game Josh dobs had a couple of turnovers early when he came in but the flip side of that is the
Vikings defense is now taking the ball away so if nothing else those turnovers are being canceled the Vikings were losing the turnover battle by two and three I think they were minus minus three in week one against Tampa Bay and it just got worse from there and when
They are turning the ball over I was gonna say it wasn’t it really isn’t the Red Zone but Josh dobs had that that fumble I think his second possession he had the he had the safety and then he fumbled that second possession he he was in but the defense has answered the call
When the offense has stubbed their toe and then on Sunday when the Falcons ran the ball down the Vikings throat for that go-ahead touchdown the offense answered the bell I mean they’ve been playing very good complimentary football ever since that Bears game we’ve only committed I think
Five turnovers yeah and we’ve gotten 13 so there’s been a big difference in that you’re absolutely right the the turnovers are a big thing no one talks about that control is a big part of the game Ted it does yeah it really does and then when you do turn the ball over deep
Inside your own territory and the defense can make a stand and hold the offense the opposing offense to a field goal that wasn’t happening earlier in the season either and now you know you you had talked about the Flores defense just the light switch coming on for the
Personnel and and they’re just playing they are just playing absolute lights out football I want to mention Kevin oconnell here because he was really taking a lot of flack from you for his play calling and from a lot of people you were you were far from the only
Person saying hey okell needs to pull his head out of his posterior talk coming out of the locker room from that Sunday game was what a master class Kevin oconnell did in having Josh dobs understand the offense in real time he would relay the play in DOS would just
Kind of verbatim tell the Huddle what the play is and as they were breaking the Huddle okono was in Josh dos’ ear saying okay this means Pal’s gonna do an in hinson’s going to do a post or or whatever I mean to to get him to
Understand the play and and it was uh I Josh dos himself mentioned you know it was like you’re you’re taking an AP Spanish course all year and then you come in on Wednesday and they tell you your final is gonna be an AP fren and and you had to have somebody translate
That for you he and he said and Kevin oconnell did it that and dos never calling Cadence for the offensive line and him doing it on the sideline once he was going in he did it like three times all right let’s go beat the Falcons boys I it’s just incredible just incredible
Stories for this sideline everything you just mentioned about like talking it through playground style that’s got to be one of the best Viking uh offensive story lines to forever I mean that that’s some Bud Grant type stuff there with Francis and that’s where coaching matters I don’t mean to pick on Mike
Zimmer or even Lesley Frasier or Brad shers before him but I don’t know that there is a coach in recent Vikings history that would have been able to do that I mean heck when no when Josh Freeman came in and played that Infamous Monday night game and I was getting
Vibes when had to come in he obviously did not get that kind of coaching that dos got from KOC on Sunday because had he that game might have been a little bit different I’m just saying nobody else could have done that and I think the fact that Kevin oconnell was grown
Up as a quarterback he played quarterback at San Diego State the fact that he was a quarterback allowed him to communicate with dobs like that that’s a really great point I I agree 100% you know what a lot of credit has to be given to and I have ripped oconnell in
The past because I think he’s he has the play calling ability he’s just kind of scared to show it but he has been showing it the last three weeks he has great Poise on the sidelines he never gets I don’t think he gets too worried I think they learned that from his FBI
Father his dad was a big shot in the FBI yeah he taught him that you go you gotta keep your PO you got to keep your wits about yourself and when hall went down and dobs went in and had a really treacherous start with the safety and
The fumble and all that you never saw really saw Kevin oconnell get nervous about anything no uhuh and he he realized what he had to do as a coach he he had to do it and he got it done big step for him as a head coach I think so
Too yeah best game he’s ever coach I would agree yeah that was Hands-On coaching that you probably don’t do at that level usually I mean that’s something you’re going to do more at the lower level Junior High High School type stuff that’s that’s something you normally don’t have to do at the
Professional level because right you normally don’t have a guy playing quarterback for you that just showed up on Wednesday right so we’re we’re kind of on the Josh dos train who wouldn’t be couple other real quick pieces of news cam Acres sadly is done for the year we
Were advocating for more and more play time for him from the moment he got signed by the Vikings but now Tores ailles again he had that injury in 21 or 22 I believe it was 20 2021 I think it was as it stands right now as of this recording the Vikings really haven’t
Signed anybody K has said that Tai Chandler is gonna see the field more he’s gonna have to if they don’t sign anybody wondering if Dwayne McBride might not be brought up uh off the practice squad but right now as it stands today they’ve got uh Alexander Madison Ty Chandler CJ ham the fullback
And potentially McBride we’ll see if they go ahead and sign anybody Justin Jefferson’s eligible to come off the injured reserve list this week word is that he’s probably not gonna play this week but he is very close so I would expect he’ll probably miss the Saints
Game and then I would expect him to be in the following week but we’ll see make sure he’s healed up make sure he is healed up the Vikings are 4-0 without Justin Jefferson so obviously the Minnesota Vikings need to trade him as soon as possible because they can win without
Him no obviously not we might want to think about getting Hank basket and Bernard Baran back because the way dobs is getting these receivers dbs’s passes hang them out to dry a lot we may they all may all be injured by the time we might face the Raiders I mean I I’m
Pretty sure Chad BB’s a free agent we should probably get him in here what are we doing in fantasy football who won last week uh you know what uh I don’t care about your fantasy team because I mailed in my running back pick and it cost me first place I think
No Tunes is back on top she won last week although although for the first time this year Drew I believe you finished third you did not finish second I was last there was only one point with my team you only lost to her by Four
Points Ted damn it God all I had to do was all I had to do was come down here look at my running back sheet pick a dude and I was upstairs and I was kind of drunk and I’m like ners how I picked my running back last
Week you notice I I I re asked you just to make sure you did in in Drew’s defense he did Ted are you sure you want to go with Cam Acres I do I want cam Acres he score four touchdowns 150 y yards wring shackles and you can check out the
Updated uh standings for nobody cares about your fantasy team over on Vikings report.com to see who are current first place and second and third place I remember the winner at the end of the year gets that sweet Antoine Winfield Jersey but for now Ruby if you would put

Team segment if you win you get two pretty cool prizes so again look at our fantasy teams and the comments Below on this show put in who you think team Tunes team Ted team Drew Hello again everybody Robert W fonsworth here this week our resurgent above 500 purple Warriors return home to face the eternally cheating New Orleans Saints led by Dennis Allen and the dastardly Derek Car can the Vikings build on their full game winning streak or will the Saints send the Vikings to Valle Halla
We’ll find out all right dedly cheaters I’m gonna always hate the saints that this is gonna be a hell of a game Sunday is it really I got some opinions about about this game about the Saints in particular and we’ll bring those up at the end but yeah two teams
That are five and four for the second week in a row the Vikings face the first place team in the NFC South this week it’s the New Orleans Saints as always what we do is we preview the game using our NFL today tribute Big Board the
Great show from the 70s and 80s with Brent musberger Jimmy the Greek Snider and Drew I’ve been remiss the lovely and talented Phyllis George thank you we will move off to the side Ruby will put up the big board here and as always we start with quarterback and finish with
Intangibles it’s just it’s stuff you can’t see go play [Laughter] shut up and watch the show right you gonna kick us off with this quarterback thing I had a tough time picking the quarterback dad I will Josh dos gets the start again like we talked about earlier versus Derek Carr
Derek Carr is having a pretty good year with the Saints he’s got over 2100 yards passing 10 touchdowns only four interceptions completing passes at a 65% rate I’ve never dislike Derek Carr but Derek Carr never seemed like a differen maker at quarterback to me he’s got got
A good arm but man when stuff isn’t going right I there was what that either a Thursday night or a Monday night game a few weeks ago he was not on the same sheet of music as the receivers you could see him chewing out his guys on
The sidelines he was either or Michael Thomas I can’t remember which one I don’t know there there’s something about Carr I can’t put my finger on it just screams he’s not an alpha guy in the Huddle he’s not that guy that can get a team to where they want to go and you
Look at what happened with DOs and the vik last Sunday and how the team just kind of embraced him and how can you not go with DOs after what you saw last week I’m gonna go with Josh dobs man I am going with dobs also and the only thing
That worries me about dobs is the big emotional letdown game after the big high from last that’s best game he’s ever been involved with yeah I mean let’s let’s face it he’s been in the league seven years he’s never had a game like that big emotional game will he
Have a let down or will he just keep rocking and rolling what he needs to do to keep learning to get better I don’t know both these quarterbacks press and they make mistakes when they that’s Carr’s problem you see games with him going damn he’s damn near Elite over the
Last four years and then you see games where you’re going that guy’s a turd he’s terrible but another factor I I gave it to uh Josh dobs for was the rushing dobs had 66 yards last week he’s always been good dual threat quarterback getting yards on the ground he had 66
Yards last week on the season Derek Carr has 18 rushes for 23 yards so he’s not going to be taken off and running anywhere so that’s extra Advantage they get the only thing that would counter spot that would be Tamm Hill you know when he’s a quarterback he runs that
Wild cat but he’s not in there enough to make a difference in the past game he’s a he’s a Cho so not whatever taste him he’s a Cho smoke too he is and he’s a snarf you know what a snarf is no idea it’s the person that smells bicycle
Seats on a hot day oh okay he’s a big snarf and uh I’m giving it to dobs folks you’re not going to get this kind of analysis anywhere else DM Hill he’s a snarf complete Chad I’m going to give it to the rocket scientist why not all
Right the past Rona running game why don’t you lead us off with the running game this week Alva chimra is it what he used to be and thank God because he had that seven touchdown game against us yeah was that what 2019 oh my Lord that was terrible still a formidable dual
Threat though Ted he’s a great receiver out of the back field he always has been ever since he played at Tennessee I looked up his long run for this year 17 yards is his longest that’s not chimra at all but they have the tesm tesm hill down the goal line that’s always
Successful for them in that Wildcat formation short yardage and at the goal line I had to give the Saints the running game because of mainly the Acres injury and the Vikings are unsettled at running they’re unsettled in the running game and they were what ranked 29th
Coming in 29th coming in and now they lost now they’re unsettled so I couldn’t in good judgment give it to the Vikings so the Saints get my uh check mark for the running game yeah I I agree with everything you said comm’s only running the ball at what three just over barely
Over three and a half yards per carry 3.6 I think it is TA Hill is running over five yards per clip he just doesn’t carry the ball as much but like you said they they use him in those unique packages it’s going to be interesting to
See what the Vikings do to address the running game uh that said I do believe Josh jobs can be a great equalizer in the running game he had what 66 yards on Sunday I think was leading rusher for both teams that entire game if I’d have to
Look that up but I believe that’s what Chris pulled us on on our live postgame show all right receiving game so Jordan Addison was a little bit sore Brandon Powell was suffering from cramps KJ Osborne bout got killed TJ howison got uh some kind of riber oblique injury the
The Vikings receiving core has been I would argue with Jordan Addison coming on the best in the NFL when you put Justin Jefferson back in there man I don’t know now Paul stepped up had a great game uh he’s been playing really good football I just wonder about the
Overall health of the unit you know KJ Osborne’s Inc concussion protocol Tristan Jackson made a big catch on that two-point conversion I’d expect we’ll see him play some but but it looks like at the end of that game on Sunday against the Falcons wide receiver one was Jordan Addison and wide receiver two
Was Brandon Powell if that’s the case you look over the other side of the ball you’ve got Chris La Michael Thomas and Alin C’s got 43 catches he’s second on the team in reception and then you got they got a guy like red Shahed he
Reminds me a lot of John Gillian back in the 70s totally totally doesn’t catch a lot of passes but like man they’re huge like he’s average what 20 almost 20 yards a catch I mean they’re just chunks of yards as much as I don’t want to uh I
Think if the Vikings receiving core was healthy I would give it to them but I’ve got to give it to the Saints and it’s not because they have two Ohio State guys at the top of their roster they’re just healthier and the Vikings I think
For as much as uh the Run game is unsettled the receiving game could be in that spot as well for Minnesota it was pretty easy to pick the Saints on this one Ted just like everything you said because of injuries you got dobs who doesn’t know the receivers very well you
Got JJ’s out Osborne’s going to be out hawkin’s going to play and then you fact they in the Saints what seventh ranked defense against the pass yeah yeah they’re only giving up 192 a game you factor that in and then you factor in this the big three for the Saints alive
Michael Thomas both from the Ohio State let’s get that out of the way cuz I knew it was coming and rashed Shahid Shahid Shahed um where’s he from Ted that I don’t know of course you don’t because you only do the Ohio State guys he’s from the great Weber State oh oh of
Course I knew that lever state wild cats out of Ogden Utah come on Ted I’m sorry those three wide receivers combined Ted let me throw these numbers at you 114 catches 1, 153 yards and six touch St yeah and everything else I mentioned with the new quarterback dos and the
Pass defense of the Saints it was pretty easy for me to give the Saints the the check mark here okay yeah yeah that’s fair drewster tell me about the offensive line who who do you like here I was looking down the list and look at people’s numbers and everything and it’s
Kind of like the Saints have done a lot of shuffling with our offensive line this season Caesar Ruiz has started every position along the line except for right tackle with darasa if darasa plays I’m give my check mark to the Vikings okay uh because I think it’s pretty
Close all the way down the line when you when you look to a man on the offensive line they got some good players with darasa in there the Vikings offensive line is getting to be top in the league if you ask me man they really are and
That’s a weird thing for us to say being we haven’t had offensive line since Favre was here I can’t give the Saints to check mark If darasa plays but if he doesn’t it’s probably a push but I’m gonna give it to the Vikings okay that’s fair I’m giving it to the Vikings as
Well I I liked I remember Ryan Ramic was was hitting free agency a couple years ago a lot of Vikings fans were clamoring for him when when The Tackle situation was so unsettled for the Vikings Caesar Ruiz we do not want to confuse him with dog whisper Caesar
Milan um Caesar re is is his own guy Michigan baby Michigan is he really yes he is Dad Andrew Andre Pete I think is a very good left tackle they’ve got a good offensive line but like you said it’s it’s hard to go against the Vikings offensive line now which I can’t believe
I find myself saying that halfway into this season front seven I don’t know that there has been a bigger transformation from week one to now than the Minnesota Vikings front seven their front seven is on fire Ted yeah like Scott Crossfield in the X15 go baby like a rocket DJ wam has
Really coming on these last couple weeks to Neil Hunter I think still leads the NFL in Sachs Jordan Hicks is playing some great football Ivan Pace Jr I think is making a very good argument for Defensive Rookie of the Year this is a unit that has just really learned the
Brian Flores system and is playing very well in it and the one thing I noticed and I meant to mention this on Sunday but there’s so much other stuff happened this Vikings defense especially in the front seven seems a lot more disciplined than they were earlier in
The year when there’s a play to the outside or wherever to a gap the Vikings front seven especially does not leave to pursue they stay home so if you’ve got a guy on the edge like say denil Hunter he doesn’t come crashing down on if the Run
Play is coming to the edge he’ll set the edge and he’ll say you’re not getting by here which will force the the runner to change directions and that means they’re waiting pace and Hicks and everybody else is is there waiting for them and this discipline that they are showing
Just seems way better than it was the first two three games of the Year and God it’s not even the same defense that we saw last year I really really like what Flores is doing with this front seven I don’t dislike the saints’s front seven cam Jordan’s kind of a punk for
What he said about Kurt Cousins in the off season he’s their best player Demario Davis is pretty good but overall I think the Saints have better individual players this front seven unit is playing better as well as good as anybody in the NFL I’m going to give it
To the Vikings here that discipline you’re talking about the guys how they’re playing that’s Flores yeah 100% he is disciplined he’s keeping those guys in line and let me tell you Brian Flores is keeping the front seven moving around enough pre- snap and he’s moving
Guys in the Gap he’s moving he’s has the defensive player playing to their strengths when you watch this front seven on Sunday notice how many times he’ll have seven guys standing up nobody will be in a stance all seven guys will be within a yard or two of the line of
Scrimmage and if you’re you know like Taylor haniki last week or Derek Carr this week you’re wondering well who Who the hell’s rushing and and who who’s dropping back are you all are you are are you all crashing or or and he’ll have six dudes drop back I saw a play
Harrison Phillips dropped in his own coverage into the flat Harrison Phillips I mean that is just like graduate level PhD pasta man like it’s just wild and it’s working and you know what that’s an element of the Vikings defense we didn’t have last year at all yeah it was just
Base 34 no movement snap it Corners are 15 yards off easy slant pattern for the wide receiver yep speaking of Harrison Phillips You’ been playing his ass off the last two weeks he has yeah he sure has I I should have mentioned him as well the Vikings are now 12 against the
Run Ted the team that has been 32nd and 30th the last what 50 games is now 12th in the NFL people raise your hands give a shout out 12 and you know it’s ahead of 12 the top 10 12th and run defense the Vikings have 24 sacks tied for eighth in the NFL league the Saints have 17 tied for last with the Jets and the Browns 17 sacks isn’t a lot of pressure that’s something you got to look for Sunday whoever pressures the quarterback more without
Having to Blitz and they’re facing a stationary Target back there with Carr they’re front seven I like Cam Jordan I love Saunders and Shephard in there and Demario Davis he’s one of the best players on there so and the great Pete Warner from Ohio State when I did a
Draft WR up you said I was crazy to have him in my top 15 you did you said Pete Warner is not going to be any good and that was right he is he he is I’m giving the front seven to the Vikings they have just been playing exceptional what about
The secondary drewster I have to give that to New Orleans Ted really that’s a strong part of their team okay seventh rength pass defense third in tackles on the team is Latimore they got good Corners they should call these guys the New Orleans Buckey man they got Buckeyes
All over their stinking roster I hate it Latimore is a buckeye yeah I know I think they have a very competent secondary this is the one thing you notice listen Ted write this down if you’re secondary is seventh in the NFL in pass defense secondary is
Seventh hang on I got to WR you told me right now okay seventh and your defense is last and Sachs and last and Sachs okay that translates to you having a pretty damn good secondary because it usually doesn’t work like that pretty damn good secondary okay got it got It the fact that they’re last in quarterback sacks and they still have the seventh three secondary is incredible to me yeah they got to be doing something right so they get my check mark that’s fair I just like the way the Vikings secondary has played I mean this whole the entire defense is
Has improved dramatically one of the guys that is really starting to stand out for me is Makai Blackman I saw he’s in top 20 in terms of PFF ratings for for quarterbacks in the NFL Caleb Evans I think had a bounceback game Byron Murphy had a pick Josh matelis man what
A season he’s having dude I’m really loving this Vikings defense and and after they made all those stops last week against the Falcons I can’t pick against them I’m picking the secondary for the Vikings this week well they got a whole different group of receivers this week compared to the Falcons they
Do and it’s going to be essential that that the front seven brings a lot of pressure on Carr if they could do that I think they can get a turnover or two you know one of my favorite plays on defense the Vikings do and it happens like once
A week the other team will throw like a wide receiver screen like a quick Pat in the flat then that you know you see it every week every team does it a Caleb Evans always shoots through there and takes the guy out at the knees for like a four yard line
I absolutely love that play he does it all the time or if he misses the tackle he disrupts the play to the point where you’ve got a guy shooting out to block him out of the the path of the runner which frees up Smith or want him coming
From the side to neutralize that play for a little to no gain yeah yeah for a guy that gets concussions he’s not scared to put his head in there Red Zone neither of these teams are good in the Red Zone the Vikes 22nd offensively 18th defensively the Saints are 28th in the
NFL on off offense in the Red Zone a little bit better on defense about 16th in the NFL I like the Vikings in the Red Zone here and we saw why last week with Josh dobs he he brings the dynamic to the Vikings and I believe they’re gonna
Have to use him in the Red Zone this week although he he did throw two touchdown passes to Alexander Madison and then the gamewinner to Brandon Powell he also has the ability to evade the rush and the thing about that is if you got guys at the secondary kind of
One eye on the receiver and one guy on on the quarterback they’re going to have to commit one way and whatever way they commit is an advantage for the Vikings the other way so I think the Dos running ability is going to be a lot more
Apparent in the red zone and I’m GNA give that to Minnesota this week great points I not gonna argue with any of that I think the Falcons would back you on all that I think the Saints if you break down their red zone offense which isn’t very good they’re only good from the
Three yard line in when they use Tamm Hill on that wild cat if they’re out at the the eight yard line they don’t use him that’s where they’re weak I mean they’re ranked 28th in the league in offensive Red Zone but every time you see them at the two they run Tamm Hill
And he scored I think Flores is gonna be ready for that tesm Hill nonsense I hope so without taes Hill I think the Saints would be last in the red zone offense yeah I’d buy that I’m going Vikings for the Red Zone Ted for everything you said
And and uh they’re at home they’re going to get some calls go their way Vikings get the check special teams who you got do you know Wright is kicking the ball for 50 yards a average yeah he is a great punter yes their punter is a snarf
He’s a 42 yard average that makes a difference for field position I don’t know much about Blake groupy groue groue whatever his name is but uh Joseph’s coming off his so most solid game of the season I got the Vikings for the Special Teams except for one point so I’ll bring
It up in intangibles I like the Vikings add in Brandon Paul I thought he made a couple of big plays returning punts last week the Vikings finally have a legit punt returner I’m going with the Vikings there coaching you know we talked a lot about Kevin oconnell what he did with Josh
Dobs last Sunday you add in the great stuff we’ve said about Brian Flores and Matt Daniels and the Viking special teams it’s not hard not to take the Vikings which I I am I do want to point out that the the Saints defensive coordinator Joe Woods was the Vikings if
The name sounds familiar he was the Vikings defensive back coach from 2006 to 2013 you think about some of the great defenses the Vikings had under Lesley Frasier and a couple Brad chers you know like guys like Xavier Woods he helped develop you know and drafted him
In 2012 or 2013 and and kind of showed him the the ways of the NFL oh Xavier rhods yeah yeah but Joe Woods was a very good defensive backs coach for the Vikings back in the day so he was he was good defensive coordinator but I man I
Just love the vibe the Vikes are giving off and a lot of that has starts with coaching staff so schol Pete carmichel 17 years offensive coordinator Dennis Allen he spent like five years I think before he went to the Raiders he with the Saints four or five years went to
The Raiders Broncos and Raiders then he’s been back with the Saints for a couple years that’s a lot of experience on that side of the ball I’m going to give it to the Vikings also because the Vikings need to get more helmets on the board that we got I think it’s really
Pretty much a push but we got the classic defensive head coach with Dennis Allen against Kevin okell who’s nothing but an offensive coach so you got two head coaches on different sides of the ball going at each other it’s going to be very interesting to see how this
Works out I’ll give the Vikings The Edge because of last week the job they did last week okay they deserve a carryover for the pick but there’s a lot of experience on that Saints on the Saints side there is yeah and then finally intangibles what do you got Ted for some
Intangibles Drew you mentioned turnovers I I’m assuming you’re G to hit that one hard so I’m gonna defer that one to you my two other big ones are Rocket Man and complacency what can we expect from Josh dobs this week you would think that with the week to prepare and fully digest a
Playbook and just kind of have a more solid understanding of Concepts and everything that he would do better but man sometimes when you just got to go out there and just play with no thought or no preparation you just play out of your mind how are his emotions going to
Be when he takes the field as a starter and then same for the Vikings you know I I say complacency not necessarily complacency but how many times have we seen the Vikings have a huge win when you really kind of didn’t expect it and and you get this big emotional high and
They just they just come out super flat the next week and play very uninspired football for for most of the game they haven’t done that this year with the Niner win they came out strong the next week yeah so how does Kevin okono get the team kind of back you know back to
Even Keel and then emotionally up for the for this game on Sunday because man if they can win Sunday now you’re you’re six and4 your two games clear of 500 after a 1 and4 start you you said every game is a playoff game from here on out
And and it really is they can’t afford to to lose a game and lose more ground to Detroit if they could stay within two games they’ve got two games with them the last three weeks of the year so they control their own destiny for the time
Being but but they got to keep winning for the Saints man who have they beat their wins are what Tennessee Carolina New England Indie and Chicago the combined record of those teams are what 12 and 31 is what I wrote down here if I did my math correctly they’ve played a
Lot of crappy teams Ted they’ve lost to Green Bay they’ve lost to Tampa Bay and their other two losses are fairly legit at Houston and Jacksonville but we threw out a bunch of really good numbers for the Saints but it’s been against crappy football teams I think these guys are
More Pretender than Contender if you want my honest opinion we’ll see on Sunday that’s my big in tangible for them what kind of team are they really at good numbers but against who my intangible what is the same as going into the pack ER game member I mentioned
They didn’t play anybody either yeah that rolls over to the Saints they haven’t really played anybody either the one thing people got to watch out for Rasheed Shahed that guy is an amazing kick returner punt returner he has a 15.4 average for returning punts which means he’s almost breaking all of them
15.4 is not shoty yeah usually guys get like six or eight and he’s got a touchdown the Vikings return the the coverage on the punch better be ready cuz that guy can return punch that’s my tangibles but Vikings get it Vikings are at home they’re starting to believe they
Can win Ted I don’t know about you I kind of feel they have a winning kind of attitude now like they’re expecting to win and not fumble like they did the first month of the season oh God we’re going to turn it over again that has turned around the penalties have turned
Around Kevin OK connell’s play calling has turned around we’re turning a corner and the defense is on fire all right that’ll do it for our big board preview can Josh dos not turn the ball over uh you know you you said the Saints are they’re what plus eight I think in
Turnover margin top five in the NFL they’re they’re right up there if they cannot turn the ball over and continue to not shoot themselves in the foot I think they’re going to win last week was the first time they’d scored over 30 points all year I kind of like the vibe
This Vikings team is given I I really do I think they’re gonna play well on Sunday this is potentially a tiebreaker the Falcons and the Saints yeah if Detroit wins the Division these are the teams we’re going to be fighting with to get the uh playoff spot head tohe head
Is like a whole another game it’s like a game ahead right I mean that’s the first tiebreaker so these other teams that are going to be fighting for playoff spots we need this for a tiebreaker against them also sure do all right so that is our preview for this week we’ll go ahead
