Howdy. I'm Ben Solek. This is the play sheet. It is a video pod we do every Wednesday where we

break down some film. So click into the Spotify app, click on the episode, and watch it. We're

talking some Josh Dobbs, baby. The opening script. How is Josh Jobs doing this? Okay, it might

not be like the most important thing that happens this NFL season, but unquestionably one of the coolest things that's happened this NFL season has been

Josh Dobbs' performance with the Minnesota Vikings. Dobbs had his first career start last year,

late in the season for the Titans. Like he was not at all a guy was considered a potential

He's going to start the rest of the season. And the Vikings are six and four. They're in the

playoff picture. Dobbs only started playing because rookie quarterback, Jaron Hall, got hurt in the first

cadence. There was a great clip of Dobbs on the sideline with the offensive line practicing the

cadence just so that way they would know when he wanted them to snap the football so they wouldn't
