CamPANELIST
Fair
Braylon EdwardsHOST
... notably for who? Whether it's right or wrong or what happened, who they most know them for? Jeff Okudah.
Braylon EdwardsHOST
So that's where the last seven years have been.
CamPANELIST
And, and the mismanagement of Darius Slay.
Thor NystromHOST
But yeah, as far as the, the top four cornerbacks, I, I think the Vikings are comfortable with where they're at, you know, with, with Murphy and Rogers in the starting lineup there.
Thor NystromHOST
And they're gonna like their depth a heck of a lot more in that room this year than they did last year when we suffered through a, a fall of the Jeff Okudah show, where then they really didn't wa- It was like, "No, we d- we... [laughs] There's a cornerback injury.
Thor NystromHOST
Well, we really don't wanna put out Okudah," and it's like-
AJ FredricksonHOST
I don't need another ticket to that show.
Ian BoydGUEST
They have, they're always good and, uh, Brent Venables is very good at like protecting them and moving pieces around to set them up.
Ian BoydGUEST
But like a true like, um, uh, Jeffrey Okudah or Derek Stingley or, uh, Jahdae Barron in 2024, those guys take things up a notch when it's just like you, you go over there, we're not gonna worry about it.
Ian BoydGUEST
Everybody else will play 10 on 10 everywhere else.
Ian BoydGUEST
[sniffs] Uh, then you got left tackle and edge, which are really obvious.
Todd McShayHOST
... two overall pick that the Jaguars traded up for, but that's not the same deal.
Todd McShayHOST
Then you go to Jeff Okudah a- in 2020.
Todd McShayHOST
He's the number three pick.
Todd McShayHOST
Sean Springs in 1997 was the number three pick.
AJ FredricksonHOST
Yeah.
Thor NystromHOST
And last year, I mean, you could toss out Jeff Okudah as an example of this.
Thor NystromHOST
And th- you know, the cornerback position was the one that was super thin last year.
Thor NystromHOST
I, I don't want that to be the edge rusher position because edge three in that system is super important-
9 MINS LATER
AJ FredricksonHOST
Yeah
Thor NystromHOST
... we, we find ourselves back there.
Thor NystromHOST
But no, I, I mean, like I, I think the off-ball linebacker depth just on paper is, is fine and sufficient, and I, I like the cornerback depth a heck of a lot more than I did last year, where there was some times you'd see Jeff Okudah trotting onto the field, you'd be like, "Uh-oh.
Thor NystromHOST
Uh-oh."
AJHOST
Yeah.
Thor NystromHOST
And last year, I mean, you could toss out Jeff Okudah as an example of this.

AJHOST
"Uh-oh." [laughs]
Cameron Teague RobinsonGUEST
And personally-
Dave BiddleGUEST
Yeah, it reminds me a lot, guys, of, um, Jeff Okudah eight years ago entering the 2018 season.
Dave BiddleGUEST
Jeff, you know, big time prospect, number one corner in the country, out of Texas no less.
Dave BiddleGUEST
Played a lot as a true freshman, um, but, you know, was picked on at times.
Dave BiddleGUEST
And then as a sophomore really came of age.
Dave BiddleGUEST
Really came of age as a junior, but by the end of his sophomore year, like, Jeff Okudah was the dude.
Dave BiddleGUEST
He played really well in the Rose Bowl that year.
Dave BiddleGUEST
Um, but yeah, Doug, I think we are assuming.
Game Preview GuyHOST
So two new key faces added to the secondary.
Game Preview GuyHOST
Pierre in at corner sort of takes the place of Jeff Okudah and Fabian Moreau.
Game Preview GuyHOST
Front seven, Banks for Allen, Orange for Hargrave, Golday joining Pace, Wilson, Cashman.
Game Preview GuyHOST
That's a deep inside linebacker room they have.
