We're gonna have to do a great job really across the board, um, starting with a great week of preparation um and try to put ourselves in a position uh to you know handle the run game, handle the pass game, handle the quarterback, you know, who's an up and coming superstar. Not even up and coming. He is a superstar in our league. Um And uh You know, we talk about the run game, but there's a lot of lotta a lot of issues in the past game as well. Um so again, big, big challenge.

Mark Grote 0:47

Brian Flores is the defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings.

How does Brian Flores plan to attack the Bears’ offensive line?

Mark Grote 0:50

In case you didn't know, talking about Caleb Williams and the challenges that the Bears offense might provide for the Vikings D as we welcome you back to Rahemian Grody on 104-3, the score. All American rejects. We're playing all Riot Fest music today, because it's Riot Fest weekend. Layla and I are both going to be hopping at the Fest.

Vinny Rotino 1:09

Yeah, we're excited to go. Absolutely. And we got a nice day for it too, which is uh A pleasant surprise. At least for now. I don't know what happens, but we'll try.

Mark Grote 1:17

Yeah, I might sport a slicker out there tonight. I look good in a slicker. I think most people know that. That uh I'm a slicker guy, I'm a jacket guy, I'm a slicker. Slicker really brings out your eyes. It really does. Do you do

Vinny Rotino 1:27

like Paddington Bear? Do you get the yellow slicker?

Mark Grote 1:30

Ooh, I haven't done the yellow slicker in a while. That might be an idea. I might get myself a slicker cap too. Well, don't you have a salmon slicker to go with your salmon folo? Oh, I should, man. Just be thinking about these things. You know, I like to be gifted things. It's been a while since anybody has gifted me anything. It's been a week. Well, the show is on until two. If you can't transition to twenty ish, can somebody get a salmon slicker to Mark? Actually,

Vinny Rotino 1:52

no, it hasn't been a week.

Why is Garrett Bradbury’s health and communication a key focus for the Vikings?

Vinny Rotino 1:53

It's been three days.

Mark Grote 1:54

This one

Vinny Rotino 1:55

Mitch gave Mark a Chicago Bulls sweatshirt.

Mark Grote 1:57

That's true. But this coming from the person who got the picnic blanket, okay? You have been gifted more than I this week and I don't appreciate it.

Vinny Rotino 2:05

I haven't actually, because we were gifted evenly. Um, do you want the picnic blanket? No, I don't know. Should we take it to Rye Fest?

Mark Grote 2:13

I it might it might be appropriate. The village of

Vinny Rotino 2:16

Bedford Park, give me a blanket because I'm constantly cold.

Mark Grote 2:18

It might be a little chilly tonight. I mean, I saw sixties, you never know in the city of Chicago. I have to

Vinny Rotino 2:22

wear pants.

Mark Grote 2:23

Yeah, that's right. No nakedness for you tonight. This is not Lollapalooza, okay? You have to dress. There's a little bit of nakedness at Rifest. Those kids have more

Vinny Rotino 2:31

body positivity than I had when I was fifteen pounds lighter.

Mark Grote 2:34

It's unbelievable. I was

Vinny Rotino 2:36

in wedding shape, I still did not have as much self uh confidence. Good on the kids.

Mark Grote 2:41

Wedding shape. That's a that's a is a real thing. Oh yes. You're right about that. Everybody wants to look good at weddings.

Vinny Rotino 2:46

And even then I did not have the confidence of a Lollapalooza goer.

Mark Grote 2:49

I thought this was really interesting on the Take the North podcast, which I host with Dan Weederer of The Athletic.

What defensive line stunts are the Bears expected to run against Minnesota?

Mark Grote 2:56

We had on Alec Lewis from the Athletic. He is their Dan Weederer or their Kevin Fishbane and Fishy Business will join us a little bit later on on the show. But he joined Take the North and I thought this was really interesting. He discussed the approach that he believes Brian Flores will have against the Bears O line. This is a little different from maybe what you've been hearing this week.

Unknown 3:20

I went back and watched really most of the pregame between these two like interviews that Ben did even in Detroit. And one of the things he said was like what yeah hallmark of Brian Flores defense and it goes back to uh the Patriots times when Ben was obviously in Miami and would see the Patriots defense on the opposite sideline is like they are going to throw a curveball at you.
