Aaron FreemanHOST
And it just felt like he's Arthur Smith if Arthur Smith had Miles Garrett on his team.
Aaron FreemanHOST
And it hired Ryan Nielsen.
Aaron FreemanHOST
And it was just like, oh, it was Ryan Nielsen and Miles Garrett that were the reasons why the Falcons were successful, not because Arthur Smith was.
Aaron FreemanHOST
And the first two weeks were just like, the defense is the only good thing about this team.
Aaron FreemanHOST
And it's just like, it's Jeff Elbert going to have to carry this guy.
Luke BraunHOST
Then, you know, somebody like Durante Jones gets hired away and stuff like that keeps happening.
Luke BraunHOST
You lose your Mike Sarabos and your Ryan Nielsen's to defensive quarter jobs elsewhere.
Luke BraunHOST
And they bring those guys or coordinator jobs and they bring those guys in and they say, run the Flores thing.
Luke BraunHOST
And it could probably goes, you know, better or worse, depending on if that guy really gets why it works.
Drew BuntingGUEST
to give credit i have to give credit where credit was due the great ryan bianconi who guest stars on a bunch of shows we were talking this week about the vikings and he said you're gonna be on there and i said yeah i think i'm doing the next two weeks and he said oh you should change it to drew old blogger So that's his
Dave StefanoHOST
deal.
Drew BuntingGUEST
Ryan,
Dave StefanoHOST
thank you
Drew BuntingGUEST
for that.
Drew BuntingGUEST
Ryan be on Coney.
Drew BuntingGUEST
He's a, he's a great, great dude.
Drew BuntingGUEST
Um, Yeah, I'm glad to be here.
Travis D. HolmesHOST
Mm-hmm
Mia O'BrienGUEST
... fit Travis Hunter perfectly comparatively to the all man absurd hockey shift defense of one Ryan Nielsen.
Travis D. HolmesHOST
[laughs]
Mia O'BrienGUEST
Uh, which I think you could say that for about 90% of cornerbacks in this league, but again, story for another time.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
Has the three sacks, two against tight ends.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
That's really good scheming by Brian Flores, Ryan Nielsen, others.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
Let's not undersell the addition of assistant coach Ryan Nielsen, him adding to what they do from a pass rush perspective.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
A lot of behind-the-scenes talk about that.
Darren WolfsonGUEST
the addition of Coach Nielsen.
Luke BraunHOST
And it mattered more late than it did early.
Luke BraunHOST
HotDiggityDog asks, how much credit should we give to Ryan Nielsen? A ton.
Luke BraunHOST
Yeah, I probably should mention him more.
Luke BraunHOST
The Vikings D-line, that unit is playing great.
speaker_0ADVERTISER
Rodriguez and Jalen Redmond.
Luke BraunHOST
I mean...
Luke BraunHOST
Jalen Redman was already really good before Ryan Nielsen, but, uh, getting a lot out of that guy and Tyrion Ingram Dawkins.
Luke BraunHOST
And hopefully we're seeing the rookies take a little bit of a step forward.
Andy CarlsonHOST
Upside is certainly there.
Andy CarlsonHOST
Getting some great coaching from D-line coach Ryan Nielsen.
Andy CarlsonHOST
And also with TID potentially dinged up, that could open up some more snaps for Kayla Banks.
Andy CarlsonHOST
So I feel like early returns are big citrus.
Jon KrawczynskiGUEST
But, you know, at the end of the day, if you can just like use that huge frame and just move bodies, that's going to help him be someone that can make an impact even while he might be a little over his head right now.
Alec LewisGUEST
I will say real quick, Jim, too, like one guy who hasn't gotten one mention after this past week and week one is defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen.
Alec LewisGUEST
And when the Vikings hired him, heard from multiple people in the league, like that guy really knows how to teach.
Alec LewisGUEST
He really knows what he's doing.
Hayes CarlineHOST
We've got the Lobster fellas on the show today.
Hayes CarlineHOST
When will they stop with the defensive rotations? Feels like Nielsen all over again.
Hayes CarlineHOST
Larry, appreciate the question.
Hayes CarlineHOST
Anthony Campanile is light years better than Ryan Nielsen.
Hayes CarlineHOST
I'm not really worried about the rotations.
Hayes CarlineHOST
I don't know if it's this question, and it's not this one, but somebody asked...
Mia O'BrienHOST
Jay is not alone, by the way, boys.
Mia O'BrienHOST
We've had several of you comment that the substitutions were Ryan Nielsen-like from the 2024 Jaguars defensive coordinator.
Mia O'BrienHOST
T-Wig, before we put a bow on the defensive side of the ball when it comes to Travis Hunter and look to the offensive side, do you think... that this is also part of, like you said, Travis Hunter coming back from missing significant time? Or is this a case of they are still trying to figure out who their best players are? Because what this regime has shown through a year and a half at the helm, they are going to play their best players.
Mia O'BrienHOST
It doesn't matter where they were drafted.
