| 0:00.0 | and Rob. Rob says where do you think the Vikings defense will rank this season with Flores |
| 0:28.8 | his second year with the team? So this is a hard question because last year they over achieved and ended |
| 0:38.7 | up with pretty good numbers defensively and I think that some of that also had to deal with, they played some |
| 0:45.2 | quarterbacks who were really bad. |
| 0:47.5 | Aid and O'Connell was really bad and scored zero points. |
| 0:50.8 | And that helped. |
| 0:51.8 | That helped even out the lions. It helped even out the lions it helped even out the Cincinnati game where they did have some tough moments there |
| 0:58.8 | This year they've got a lot of very good opponents where if they ranked, let's just say they ranked 12th. |
| 1:04.6 | That's where I'll put them. If they rank 12th, but they play this bunch of teams and if they're playing |

| 1:46.1 | quarterbacks get hurt then it will be a lot easier I think if Brian Flores is |
| 1:50.8 | playing a team that has a backup quarterback or a young quarterback. |
| 1:56.3 | Your chances to win Skyrocket versus playing, and this is not a hot take, but especially Sky Rockets |
| 2:02.2 | with him |
| 2:03.2 | because of the way he plays and how rarely you see that |
| 2:07.4 | in the NFL. |
| 2:08.4 | So if you are another team and you're |
| 2:11.8 | preparing on a weekly basis for this, that, and the other thing, and then you see Flores' defense is totally different, and you're not an experienced quarterback who's seen it before, it's a nightmare for you, as opposed to, you know to maybe if it's just a regular type of |
