0:00.0	What should we expect from J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings offense in the second half of the year that more than speak on the couch.
0:06.1	If we're starting with Vikings for starting with our dear friend Paul Charchy and charge it's here.
0:10.1	J.J. McCarthy's back. What's going to happen? It's got to be better than it was in the first two games when J.J. McCarthy played.
0:16.5	We had eight quarters to look at him, seven of which were pretty bad.
0:21.8	Now, in fairness to JJ, putting a fairly difficult spot with an offensive line that immediately got struck with a wide range of injuries.
0:31.5	And he had the, he had the highest pressure rate in the NFL.
0:35.4	He had a 40% pressure rate in JJ.J. McCarthy's first two starts.
0:39.7	That's not, no quarterback can succeed like that.
0:43.1	The problem is now, fast forward, here we come to week nine, and the offensive line has

1:11.3	I mean, it's just a, it's a brutal spot to put J.J. McCarthy in and this, this Vikings team
1:16.2	had tried so hard to put him in a position where it was going to be as easy as possible.
1:23.4	They wanted to do the really slow, slow on ramp to J.J. McCarthy's career.
1:29.7	You look at the meager passing attempts that he had in weeks one and two and no small part
1:34.4	because they just, they didn't want him to have to go win with his throwing shoulder.
1:39.2	And as it turns out, that whole game plans out the door.
1:43.3	The, the Vikings defense looks bad. If it's going to be a game script, anything coming up against Detroit, that is anything like what we saw against the Chargers, then the Vikings fall behind early. They don't have the luxury of running. Now you've got to pass with J.J. McCarthy. Offensive line may or may not hold up, and we might have a situation that doesn't look
