00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:12.560
The fan. Love the farming insight, Chad, but can we get a

2
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:17.760
shout out to the ethanol producers out
there saving the planet one kernel at a

3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.719
time. Majority of the corn in
Minnesota does go to feed, but a

4
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.079
large portion does go to ethanol.
Actually, over a third of the crop

5
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.079
in the United States goes to ethanol. So a little fun fact for all

6
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.640
those listeners out there. Hey,
Noordo Pa the best to ever do it,

7
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.399
just out of here picking corn and
the snow and the mud. Got

8
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.399
a lot to do yet. It's
trying to get it done before my first

9
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.880
child is born next month. I
can't wait to see what Jared Hall can

10
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.039
do. I think he's going to
surprise a lot of people. School Baby

11
00:00:51.240 --> 00:01:00.399
hashtag, Bake Radio, a couple
of talkbacks, Raptor talkbacks, the free

12
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:06.480
iHeartRadio app with Minnesota Viking's Monday Night
football tickets at Stake, and you were

13
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.200
kippet seen with some of the feast
at Dwelling Roofs. Yeah. I don't

14
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.959
think you've heard the first part of
the first talkback, but it's the corn

15
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:22.840
it aids with ethanol and ethanol It's
like it does sound like a complete world

16
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.359
saver and to a certain extent.
I would imagine you know that there are

17
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:27.599
a lot of positive things that come
out of it, but I never would

18
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:32.239
have known that you either. So
no, So we had an ethanol talk

19
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.840
talk back, and we also had
somebody busting through the busting through the fields

20
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.920
of the combnor the tractor because there's
a child on the way and they want

21
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.120
to get it done before all that. And and that guy's excited about Jared

22
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.719
Hall. And one of the things
we love about sports I do anyway,

23
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.599
Paul, is the ongoing optimism that
we have for the unknown, right,

24
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.159
And you know, I think the
vast majority of people feel like Jared Hall's

25
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.599
got a chance to be effective in
the he might be great. There's a

26
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:06.159
lot of optimism when you don't know. I think most people default to positivity.

27
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.680
And there's chure we brought in.
I think Josh Dobbs is likely to

28
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.919
be the starter for a lot of
the games the rest of the season,

29
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.479
but maybe not about that, but
we'll say no. And that's part of

30
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.319
the entry it is. Yeah,
it's part of it's part of what makes

31
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.280
it all fun, right. Yeah, It's like it's like in the early

32
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:29.960
days of fanball, dot Com and
the swift alacrity leaden emergence of Ryan Cardinal.

33
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.599
Where you know, Ryan was languishing
on the Fantasy football practice squad.

34
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.919
What was his single biggest duty securing
the jerseys of skill players that would be

35
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.400
drafted in your draft and giving them
away when like, yeah, you know,

36
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.280
I'll take I don't know, I'll
take Eddie George. And then hey,

37
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.960
well yeah, you get Eddie George
with the eighteenth pick, and here's

38
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.240
the Eddie George jersey. Yes,
And and a lot of people within the

39
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.719
Fanball offices al Plymouth Wade dowted Ryan
very early in his run. There,

40
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.240
like dal Jarren Hall, we kept
him down. He was an intern.

41
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.919
We kept him at the intern level. Well, what happened was, from

42
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.039
what I understand, it's very controversial
to and I don't want to divulge my

43
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.680
source, but nevertheless, you know, much like an offensive minded head coach

44
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.360
or a play caller having choice Kirk
Cousins related plays, well, those plays

45
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.800
may not necessarily be exactly what Jaren
Hall needs early early in his run.

46
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.960
That's just like the fact that with
fanball dot Com and Fantasy Football Weekly,

47
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:38.319
you guys only let Ryan Cardinal focus
on like Draft round seven and beyond Well,

48
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.879
so that that was that was that
was a lot of it, and

49
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.599
don't that was pulling the playbook back, which is the right thing, but

50
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.840
it frustrated him so much that he
had to go to another team known as

51
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.120
the Minnesota Vikings and work for the
Vikings Entertainment Network ever since. Yeah,

52
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.879
I mean we you know, we
had him taking out garbage, He cleaned

53
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.759
out our crock pot. You know, you know, we gave stuff,

54
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.080
commasure it to. He's still shar
and maybe do ye metaphorically that's right,

55
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.680
But eventually, you know, talent
prevails. Yeah, that was the case

56
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.159
with Ryan Cardinal. Maybe that's going
to be the case here with Jaron Hall.

57
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.639
Well, the the CEE, Like, if you're going to look back

58
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.240
at plays and and I'm not going
to go back to BYU because it's i

59
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.720
mean, you're playing, uh specifically
in that conference. You're playing teams that

60
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.519
may have one decent pass rusher that
has a fifteen percent chance to get to

61
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:30.079
the NFL if they go nickel three
fifths of the dbs or you know,

62
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.000
a couple of lower case ls and
there's one capital L that they're going to

63
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.040
find every single play. Algiers,
by the way, played with Jaron Hall

64
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.000
at Brigham Young University. Oh,
I didn't remember that. I know that

65
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:45.040
Joe yesterday. But so therefore,
you know, the the cougar related stuff.

66
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.560
I mean, that's you know,
for for the general manager and those

67
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.560
working with him, and of course
quarterbacks coach O c and head coach,

68
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.120
they looked at all that that that
led to drafting Jaron Hall. That that

69
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.040
for me at this stage of the
equation, it's not part of it's not

70
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:00.639
part of the mix. So then
you go to preseason, all right,

71
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:06.839
well, but by design, O'Connell
is displaying the vanilla of all vanilla ever

72
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.680
to vanilla. I shared the story
yesterday with Ben Leeber. I think I

73
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.000
told him before. It's we had
a guy going motion at Seattle in the

74
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.000
first preseason game, Jalen Rager,
and I think the only reason he did

75
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.160
it he made a mistake, so
he was supposed to move, so like

76
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:27.279
there was no motion, little play
action. You don't have the offensive lineman,

77
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:31.040
you know, pulling in elaborate exotic
fashion or anything. Then they got

78
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:36.199
to the third preseason game against Atlanta
and Kevin unfurled a couple of bootlegs with

79
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.600
him, and they looked really,
really fluid and smooth. So then we

80
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:45.560
get to the green Bay game and
it was unbelievably predictable that they were going

81
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.680
to run. Jaren Hall's first playing
Green Bay had nine in the box and

82
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.000
now I'm looking at the play clock
as I watch it back, and I'm

83
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.839
like, well, this suckers down
to eleven. So Jared, I mean,

84
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.959
you know, I mean, what
type of consternation was was the young

85
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.439
man having at that moment but wondering
should I change? And he either just

86
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.839
was afraid to that there or didn't
know what do you know exactly? Can't

87
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.759
you can't take right? So we
run right into a nine man front TfL

88
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.720
on acres. Then he goes shotgun
and they still It was just fascinating to

89
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.439
watch his watch it. If you
get a chance the early stages of the

90
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:26.680
Jarren Hall plays, because they they
then go shotgun and there's a play action

91
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.560
and nobody bites because nobody nobody was
biting the vikings play action the entire game,

92
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.759
and that actually has talk ability moving
forward because Green Bay drew away line

93
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.160
in the sand in that game with
cousins in the game. Here's the deal

94
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:45.519
we we we either think you can't
run or your head coach is not interested

95
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.319
in running. So every single time
you do that little put the baby in

96
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.120
the cradle, bake it and throw
down the field. Ain't nobody moving And

97
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.199
they didn't move, So teams are
going to see that and that that really

98
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.720
I'm not telling you that could change
a lot of things moving forward. So

99
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.199
nob bit and and you know he
had a strip sack in the mix.

100
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.120
And you know, then you got
a beefeater trying to run at him in

101
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.120
the end zone and he took kind
of a kind of a he's circumnavigated did

102
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.160
like a little bit of a a
little bit of a u like the top

103
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.079
of a moon or a halo,
where he ran away farther into the end

104
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.079
zone. And O'Connell, because you
look at where the players are, O'Connell

105
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.839
clearly gave him an out with Osborne
on a comeback. So kJ runs down

106
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.160
twelve yards, comes back toom there
it is all right, so completion,

107
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.399
that's only two yards. That's fine. We have a strip sack where he

108
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.920
held the ball a little too long
in my estimation. But but somebody got

109
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.240
around Darisa on like inero point three
seconds, So I mean, I'm not

110
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.160
sure he held the ball too long
either. Dearis the Christian just got beat.

111
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.480
But then the one that really impressed
me was again backed up by the

112
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:57.360
goal line and he's in the shotgun
and kJ Osborne turns on Jai Air Alexander

113
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.839
and gets body positioned on him and
is looking right at kJ. So you

114
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.639
get the safety to come over just
a little. And Hall knew Hockinson's breaking

115
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.759
off a route middle of the field. So what's good here is he knows

116
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.160
the plays and he knows the secondary
type reads on the plays. He was

117
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.480
chilling the pocket and the young man, from what I know of him,

118
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.360
is very chill and very relaxed and
very smart. But he stayed poised,

119
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.639
had a swivel. He had a
swivel that like Jordan Love and Justin Fields

120
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.919
can't seem to find between the couch
cushions. Looked at kJ, looked at

121
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.759
kJ, looked at kJ, knowing
what was going to happen. Middle swung

122
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.600
back hit Hockinson on the run,
TJ breaks a tackle in the game's over.

123
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.279
That was it? So I mean
it's it's I mean, that wasn't

124
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.600
over, so to speak. But
that pretty much ends up it. That

125
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.080
was it? So that right there, So that's all we have with this

126
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:54.159
young man, and really just pulling
off what is tangible and legit. I

127
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.519
see poise. I don't see feet
jumping around, freaking out, ball being

128
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.039
held out, stuff like that.
Just like he's calm. Yeah, well

129
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.320
he certainly had all the poison college
when you go back when the Vikings drafted

130
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.679
him. We went back and looked
at a lot of his a lot of

131
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.320
his tape from college. You can
tell that he's a very comfortable pocket path.

132
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.720
Not even pocket pass are out of
the pocket. He's just you can

133
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.960
see the leadership traits. He looks
unflappable. And will that translate to the

134
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.360
NFL at a whole different level.
Don't know maybe, But part of the

135
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.279
fun is finding out if you got
a hidden gem here. The trade for

136
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.279
Dobbs was so cheap that I think
it was like, well, nobody knows,

137
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.039
you know, Kevin O'Connell doesn't know
for sure how this is going to

138
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.240
work out with Jaron Hall, Let's
bring in Dobbs. We've got a backup

139
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.120
plan if we need it. We
know what he can do. He's got

140
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.919
lots of NFL tape on him through
whatever ten NFL starts, and then you

141
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.799
know, if it does or doesn't
work out, with all we've got options.

142
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.360
And I I like the fact that
we're give that immediately the team didn't

143
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.799
go, We're gonna try to get
Josh Dobbs going in five days and trying

144
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.080
to installing offense for a guy who
doesn't know anything about our offense. We

145
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.440
will go through the who, where, when, and why of Josh Dobbs

146
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.799
at about ten oh three when we
return bikes bikes. It's the probably football

147
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.440
feast of Buffalo Wild Wings out
