And the All right inside CCO Performance Center Matthew Coller here joined by Kevin Seifert of

E-SPN after the Vikings dropped to O and three.

How you doing, Kevin?

You do all right?

You go along?

I'm doing okay.

Fortunately, I'm not O and three, but it is always a little bit of a less pleasant day at work to come in when they're

oh and three compared to three and oh yeah an empty locker room not a whole lot to

discuss from that but I would like your opinion though on on Kevin O'Connell and his handling of

O in three because I think that he has no other choice being the coach that is

trying to be positive then to say hey I once coached on a team that went three losses in a row in the middle of the season.

What a reach. He had that one prepared.

After a seven and one start.

Uh-huh. And with Aaron Donald and Vaughn Miller and Jaylin Ramsey. Anyway, that's not the point, not the point. So he's going motivational, but at the same time, he's not really defensive to critiques from us like hey so your defense

blitz Justin Herbert 40 times and from at least PFF stats he had a

124 quarterback rating when that happened.

So he seems to be acknowledging the issues while not saying everything is over.

How do you feel like he's handled this as going through his first true adversity as ad coach.

Yeah, that the comparison to the the Super Bowl winning Rams, I don't think, you know, necessarily

was relevant or applied to the situation. But I generally respect the idea that he doesn't live in a public fantasy land.

Like I don't hear him saying things that don't comport with reality.

You know, they're an optimistic view of reality, but you know, he, I asked him about, you know, you reference the defense, I asked him about the Blitz rates and whether there should have been adjustments, and he took the question, you know, he addressed it. He didn't, he didn't take the opportunity to second-guess
