Minnesota Vikings · Kevin O'Connell with Barreiro 8-3-26 · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

So you really have to make sure you have your players' attention for both weeks.

Now, that doesn't mean that you're going to be tackling live like you may do some weeks, depending on when your bye week is throughout the season.

You might get a little work here and there.

But at this point, you've played so long.

Sure.

The week is really not going to do much, maybe for the speed guys getting their legs back a little bit, but it's going to be the Super Bowl.

So, you know, by the time that game comes around, you would rather be as prepared as possible.

And I don't know what the particular reasons were that they did that at that time.

Maybe there was something.

that caused them to do that.

But, no, it has definitely changed, you know, especially the year we went.

I'm sure as coaches you don't forget either, right?

No, that's the curse of it all.

I remember vivid, vivid play calls and plays.

I told our team the other night, 2022, that playoff game,

You know, I play out that two-minute drive in my head often, but I also remember vividly the fourth and inches when we, you know, called a hard count and jumped off sides and took the three instead of what I wanted to do in the moment.

We had the momentum in the game.

Let's go get seven.

And like we had done many, many times in one-score games that year, get that lead.

And then our defense did that year, even though maybe statistically we weren't a great defense, we did play well in the two-minute in the phase when guys like Daniil and some of our pass rushers could kind of tee off in that true known passing situation.
