| 0:00.0 | and And Sam Ekstrom here, and Sam I want to start the show right out and we're going to talk about lots of different things Vikings related |
| 0:26.4 | Specifically the state of the roster that the new head coach and general manager will be inheriting. |
| 0:33.0 | But I have to start out the show by saying |
| 0:35.1 | I kind of changed my mind on something |
| 0:37.2 | from yesterday's show that I did with Paul Hottawannick. |
| 0:40.3 | I started off by saying I didn't really care so much that Kellen Moore had botched the final play of the game and the Cowboys game like that that wouldn't really shape how I felt about Kellyn Moore as a head coaching candidate. |
| 0:55.9 | Now making a mistake at the end of a game and calling something a little galaxy-brained and overthinking |
| 1:01.2 | it's not that big of a deal. There's lots of people that you could point to one mistake that a coach is made or something like that. And if they had two more seconds, then maybe it looks really smart and they gain 15 yards or if they just hand the |
| 1:14.6 | ball to the referee or if the players get set or whatever number of things. |
| 1:18.9 | So I wasn't taking that too seriously, but where I've changed my mind is in reading from some really smart people about yesterday's game plan for the Cowboys. |
| 1:28.0 | I think that's one that I'm not really on board with despite how good the offensive statistics have been for the Dallas Cowboys. |
| 1:36.4 | Is it silly to change my mind after saying yesterday I didn't really care that much about how that game turned out in terms of him as a candidate that just after reading today I've kind of moved away from Kellyn Moore as a potential head coach candidate for the Vikings. |
| 1:52.0 | Are you saying that... head coach candidate for the Vikings. |
| 2:05.0 | Are you saying that the game plan specifically in yesterday's game is throwing you off or just his game a playoff game. |
| 2:06.0 | Yeah, and the other team is good and they're getting beat up on the offensive line, |
| 2:12.0 | which doesn't always happen to Dallas, and they just struggled so much to adjust. |
| 2:17.0 | Bob Sturm covers the cowboys down there, and he did a whole thread about not being able to adapt when their offensive line was having problems. |
| 2:26.0 | Yesterday I'm watching Tampa Bay have their top two offensive linemen go down and continue to have their offense tick and they just seem to adjust real quick and float along and kick the ever loving heck out of the Philadelphia Eagles, whereas the cowboys melted down when their offensive line struggled, which will happen to you eventually in the playoffs when you're going to play good defenses. |
| 2:48.0 | And so even though in the regular season, you're putting up 50 points in the final game against the Eagles who weren't playing starters which is great |
| 2:54.6 | I mean you should be putting up big totals but when push comes to shove you're gonna have to beat a good |
| 2:59.2 | defense and it felt actually very Vikingsie yesterday of the Dallas Cowboys when it was a good defensive line and all of a sudden the way that they scheme it up did not give that press got a ton of easy options and short throws and things like that to keep them rolling and I wonder if that's something you're sort of signing up for more of the same if you bring in somebody who can't adjust when the defensive line is beating your offensive line. |
| 3:24.0 | Yeah, I think that I think about when I was just starting my career, I was an audio engineer. |
