Matthew CollerHOST
9:17
But if you are looking for some plus news on the injury report, Michael Jurgens, Brett Thorson, and Ben Yerusale all return, and Kevin O'Connell said that Yerusale will be punting this week.
Matthew CollerHOST
9:28
They released Johnny Hekker after one good week punting, one bad week punting, but two great weeks holding.
Matthew CollerHOST
9:36
So well done for, uh, Johnny Hekker.
Matthew CollerHOST
9:38
But Brett Thorson is back, and, uh, Michael Jurgens and Ben Yerusale, we'll have to just see.
Matthew CollerHOST
9:43
Those guys are working their way back from IR if they're ready to go, but I wouldn't be shocked if both of them ended up, uh, back on the roster and ready to play.
Andy CarlsonHOST
6:08
Yeah.
Andy CarlsonHOST
6:09
Uh, released, uh, Natrone Brooks, uh, Johnny Hekker, uh, which means that Britt Thorson is probably gonna be good to go, uh, since Hekker was on the practice squad.
Andy CarlsonHOST
6:17
Devin Neal is gone as well.
Andy CarlsonHOST
6:18
They waived, uh, Tyreeki Chapelle from injured reserve, meaning he can sign somewhere else.
Cole SmithHOST
6:23
They signed him last week.
Cole SmithHOST
6:24
They released, uh, Johnny Hekker from the practice squad.
Cole SmithHOST
6:27
I feel like they did that last week, uh, and then they brought him back.
Cole SmithHOST
6:31
That might be good news for Brett Thorsen coming back.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
24:31
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to Brett Thorson coming back.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
24:35
I mean, I think I've seen enough of Johnny Hekker punts.
Phil MackeyHOST
24:37
[laughs]
Darren WolfsonGUEST
24:38
I mean, I think it'll be in all likelihood just with a hamstring and why not give Thorson the bye week? You can elevate Hekker.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
24:51
I mean, you use Hekker hopefully one more week and then you can make that transaction, right? And get Thorson back hopefully for that Colts game.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
24:59
Uh, I just haven't heard that that's a long term, but hamstring punter, I get it.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
25:04
Super, super tricky, so maybe it's beyond the Colts game, but I think I've seen enough of, of Johnny Hekker punts.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
25:10
I need to see Thorson punts again, but-
Steve MasonHOST
48:01
Yeah.
DeMarco FarrGUEST
48:01
I thought Johnny Hekker would here.
Steve MasonHOST
48:03
Yeah.
DeMarco FarrGUEST
48:03
In SoFi.
AJ FredricksonHOST
37:49
Miles Price is the man.
AJ FredricksonHOST
37:50
Third bullet point, Johnny Hekker sort of showed why, uh, Thorson needs to be the punter when he's healthy moving forward.
AJ FredricksonHOST
37:56
And then fourth bullet point, oh my God, I love Will Reichard.
Thor NystromHOST
37:59
[laughs] I mean, we could almost just end the show right, right now.
Ross BrendelHOST
56:22
I think what the Vikings have learned since the last time we talked is at least in the immediate they likely got it right.
Ross BrendelHOST
56:30
Your guy, our guy, Johnny Hekker, likely not the guy who needs to be punting for the Minnesota Vikings.
Jason HarmonGUEST
56:36
Brett Thorson, very, that's a good one too.
Ross BrendelHOST
56:37
Yep.
Brian ShawnPANELIST
6:45
Like, it shanked off.
Brian ShawnPANELIST
6:45
It wasn't as bad as Johnny Hekker's.
Brian ShawnPANELIST
6:46
[laughs]
Derek HansonPANELIST
6:46
But it was so quickly off the foot.
Sam EkstromHOST
2:27
The cool part is he's doing it, doing it with different holders, too.
Sam EkstromHOST
2:30
Johnny Hekker, Brett Thorson, Ryan Wright last year.
Sam EkstromHOST
2:35
Doesn't matter.
Sam EkstromHOST
2:37
The operation has remained smooth.
Andy CarlsonHOST
24:23
But, you know, Will the Thrill is obviously great.
Andy CarlsonHOST
24:26
Um, Johnny Hekker outside of that one punt w- is fine.
Andy CarlsonHOST
24:29
Um, also y- we have the best long snapper in the National Football League in Andrew DePaola.
Andy CarlsonHOST
24:34
Uh, great bagels as well, by the way.
