Matthew BerryHOST
That was second best on the team.
Matthew BerryHOST
And what about TJ Hockenson? Like, we saw sort of forgot about him a little bit, but I thought he looked pretty good.
Matthew BerryHOST
Two red zone targets, 77% route participation.
Matthew BerryHOST
Maybe with-
Jake CielyGUEST
If you look at Kyler's career, he's primarily been wide receiver, tight end, and his second wide receiver has very rarely been involved to a relevant degree.
Jake CielyGUEST
And some of that has to do with the talent he played with.
Jake CielyGUEST
But even Carson Wentz was doing the se- same thing, and I'm glad you brought up the 77 route percentage because if you look at his averages, TJ Hockenson hasn't hit that since his rookie season, when it was just him and nobody else.
Jake CielyGUEST
It's been low 70s into the 60s, and that's including like the injuries, factoring that out.
Pat MayoHOST
Who was your sleeper this week, Jake?
Jake CielyGUEST
For this week specifically, a ti- I, I would actually say Hockenson.
Pat MayoHOST
Oh.
Jake CielyGUEST
I think against that Chicago defense and then that if he stays, he was essentially the number two.
J-MacHOST
Yeah, it wasn't like, uh, he won you your week or anything like that.
J-MacHOST
Yeah, and then a bunch of, like, lower level guys, right? Like Mike Gesicki, Pat Freiermuth, Juwan Johnson, TJ Hockenson, Noah Fant, Cole Kmet, all, all those guys caught touchdowns-
JoseHOST
Yeah
J-MacHOST
... and had at least three receptions and, uh, a handful of yards.
Josh HudsonHOST
Minnesota needed to throw a lot.
Josh HudsonHOST
Carson Wentz does like the tight end position, so I think for as long as Carson Wentz is healthy, I think we'll see a lot of, um, a lot more TJ Hockenson.
Josh HudsonHOST
At least he becomes more of a streaming tight end.
Josh HudsonHOST
Gesicki's always been, been, uh, hot and cold.
Matthew CollerHOST
They need one big throw from Carson Wentz.
Matthew CollerHOST
Bang, he comes up with it to T.J. Hockenson in the end zone to put it at 22-17.
Matthew CollerHOST
I think everybody went, "Uh-oh." Like, all of a sudden there's a game that's going on here now because Carson Wentz didn't make catastrophic mistakes and was able to do just enough, and also with Kevin O'Connell not putting him in a position where he's throwing 40 passes, which I'm sure when you're down in the game that you're like, "Come on," like, "Get going offense." Like, you start to get antsy.
Matthew CollerHOST
But I didn't think that he lost his mind and started having Wentz drop back time and time and time again yesterday.
14 MINS LATER
Matthew CollerHOST
If Wentz just throws it to him wide open, he gets some receptions.
Matthew CollerHOST
Oliver made some catches.
Matthew CollerHOST
Hockenson was back.
Matthew CollerHOST
They have the offensive line talent to be much better than they were yesterday, and they have the defensive talent and defensive mind to win a lot of football games regardless of who's at quarterback.
Kara OlsenGUEST
Fall.
Greg OlsenGUEST
Hockenson.
George KittleHOST
Hockenson.
Greg OlsenGUEST
We could dress Hockenson up as, like-
George KittleHOST
A Viking?
Greg OlsenGUEST
...
Peter KleinHOST
Tight end.
Peter KleinHOST
Uh, we're gonna go T.J. Hockenson in Minnesota.
Peter KleinHOST
He's not what he was, that's for sure.
Peter KleinHOST
Um, admittedly waiver wire for tight end isn't great.
Peter KleinHOST
We're kind of just hoping to find someone who gets a touchdown.
Peter KleinHOST
But Hockenson, five targets in week one and he does get a touchdown.
Peter KleinHOST
He's at least a part of this offense going forward.
Peter KleinHOST
So I, I, I think that this is...
Gill AlexanderHOST
Then Minnesota after Miles Price returned the kickoff 68 yards.
Gill AlexanderHOST
Set up at the Green Bay 28, six plays, third and eight at the 16, Wentz to Hockenson, 22-17 Green Bay, 2:08 left in the third.
Gill AlexanderHOST
And then Green Bay from their own 29, second and 20 at their own 32 to start the fourth quarter, love to Golden for 43.
Gill AlexanderHOST
Golden.
Tyler AxnessHOST
Mm
Derek HansonPANELIST
... and then followed up by the, uh, the, uh, pass from Carson Wentz to TJ Hockenson to get them within one score.
Derek HansonPANELIST
But that, uh, that certainly changed everything there at that moment.
Derek HansonPANELIST
And then I, I just don't understand it.
Jeremiah SirlesHOST
...
Jeremiah SirlesHOST
even the T.J. Hockenson one.
Alex BooneHOST
I, I...
Jeremiah SirlesHOST
Yeah.
