ESPN's Courtney Cronin here with, working on just a couple of hours sleep since you did

ESPN show in the morning and had to wake up at 3 a.m. So we will try not to test your

patience here with this.

But I mean, covering this team is testing everybody's patients and

everybody's sanity and everybody's health.

I mean, there's COVID in the quarterback room. There's COVID in the quarterback room there's COVID in the building there's bad football on the field like we're all victims at the moment and there goes my alarm that was supposed to that was supposed to wake me up during Mike Zimmer's breath

And I slept through it. So this is off to a roaring start. Thank you.

Well, all you missed was Mike Zimmer trying to say look don't do the Jefferson thing with the digs thing like so forth which you know I think that it is being viewed differently,

because what happened to Diggs,

and even let us not forget Adam Thielen's agent

earlier this year, tweeting out his own frustrations about the way that the offense was being run and I think when you have

one guy who's a star in Buffalo who worked his way out of here because of the offense and because he wasn't getting enough passes in his way and they couldn't figure out how to get over the hump and then you have another guy whose agent is publicly earlier this year showing his, you know, how upset he is about how his client and the

offense is going and all that. When Jefferson makes comments, then it's like, okay, well, another guy is upset. I think clearly everybody is, but you know, I don't want to start with that because I think that's sort of obvious, like, yeah, Jefferson's not happy and you better figure out a way to make him happy but I wanted to ask you about like how you're going to remember the final days of Mike Zimmer because at this point I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure, but I just feel like there's a difference between a team that goes down swinging and I remember Sage Rosenfelds talking about how no matter what the Houston Texans for Gary, Gary Kubiak, wanted him to get to 500 even when they had a bad season.

And when the talk is there's no energy in the building, Jefferson's upset after the game, you kind of no show against the Rams, if it happens in Green Bay that this team gets steamrolled the way that they did against New Orleans.

Like that's how I think we're going to remember

that sort of the defining trait of this team

was that when push came to shove,

they got shoved down even though their coach had a fighting mentality,
