Minnesota Vikings News Dump (10.11.25) | Darrisaw Domination, Games to Hate Watch, THE DUDE ABIDES

[Music] What’s going on, Jeromes? We are back in the friendly confines. Back from undisclosed location. Feels good. This the chair is nice. Yeah. Also, you don’t even know if I’m wearing pants or not. The universe is a mystery. Anyways, but Minnesota Vikings on by this week, so there’s going to be some hate watching to do tomorrow. It’s going to be good. Uh but beautiful Saturday, birds are chirping and stuff. It’s time for another Vikings news dump. Also, H Of Jumping John Randall, Texas A&I, Kingsville. Go Havalas. I think they’re the Havalas. They’re either the Havalas or the Wildcats. Probably Havalas. Uh, but look real looking really damn good. Supporting Hy where I I want to support Cub because they’re a Minnesota corporation, but HY is just so much better. I don’t know. Man, hate to support Iowa. Aya, you know, it’s like it’s like quick trip in Wisconsin. Aya everything, but Johnny Randall looking really damn good. Bye-week Friday. Uh bye-week purple Friday edition. Hashtag Skull #purp Friday #thed dude of course channeling his inner Labowski. Jeffrey Labowski. Where’s the money? Labowski. It’s looking good. Uh you know getting getting some half and half for some white Russians, some Caucasians. It’s good. Good to go, right? And also, this is extremely meta because the Vikings do play the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday at historic US Bank Stadium. And of course, you know, the line from Big Labowski. I’ve had a day and I hate the Mhm. Eagles, man. It’s perfect setup where this runs so deep. Uh, so obviously he he’s probably channeling the I hate the Eagles thing, but if he just did this to do it, that would be even more hilarious. It’d be good. Uh, and something to do with the Eagles, of course, is the tush push, right? Controversial. And it’s not so much that the Eagles are the only team that can do it, right? It it’s more the actual rules on the book, right? Uh, lining up over the ball, false starts, all that stuff. And you are seeing players start to get hurt, right? because you have to basically just give up your body to try and sell out to stop it, right? And it’s hard to do, right? And what’s stopping the Eagles from just running this every single down, right? Trade AJ Brown, trade Devonte Smith, and then just run three tight ends, two backs, and and Jaylen Herz and this offensive line. Just push every single play. I mean, you only need to average two and a half yards a carry, right, to march down the field. Oh, you can’t stop it. Oh, first down. Oh, it reminds me of Techmo Super Bowl. So, when I first got it as a kid, uh I didn’t know how to call the call the plays, you know. So, if you just press the X button on Super Nintendo, it it they did a running back dive over the pile, right? And that’s literally what I did back and forth. Just dive over the pile. Uh because you you would get three yards every time it worked. If you got stuffed, you you lost three yards. So, just like I need to get a first down. Come on. Come on, baby. That’s ex essentially what this is. And this this is the end of the tush tush push. Like there there’s no way the NFL is going to allow this further next year. And I hate to say that the Packers were right. So I’m not going to. But them doing it four times in a row national television. Nah, it’s ridiculous. But the Vikings are going to have to do that. And Jonathan Gernard, our fieldless leader, team Capitan. Yeah, I talked about the Tosh Bush uh on the K Adam show. Oh, by the way, kind of switch up is this? So, K. Adams interviewed Jay McCarthy during the offseason. Then she said, “I think the Vikings are going to win the Super Bowl.” And then she goes all in with the Packers. We’re not mad, we’re just disappointed. Also mad up in Adams. Jonathan Gernard on the key to stopping the Eagles tushbush. You better strap your You better strap your chin strap up. I mean, you should probably do that because of safety precautions anyway, right? you got the they always talks talks big about the you know player safety thing but players are out here they don’t have their chin strap buckled they don’t have their mouthpiece in uh they don’t have uh they don’t have thigh or knee pads generally what are we doing here Brian Branch with the stupid Brian Branch is one of the best and most versatile defensive backs in the National Football League but I will never acknowledge that because of the stupid mouthpiece in the helmet and you could say that it’s for it’s honoring someone important in his life, but no, it’s like it’s part of my brand because branch, do you get it? Anyways, uh but yeah, the Vikings are definitely going to have to bring up front. I I wouldn’t be shocked if uh Taki Tymani’s uh active for the first time this year. Just just more size. We have the meats all up in the middle. It’s going to be good to go. Speaking of having the meats, so good to have Christian Darasaw back, right? Uh, and Vik Vampage, Vikings tackle Christian Darasaw this season. 155 offensive snaps, zero sacks allowed, five quarterback pressures allowed, two penalties, one quarterback hit allowed. He’s, for my money, I know he hasn’t had a full healthy season at any point of his career, but when he’s healthy and on the field and dialed in, like he is the best left tackle in the game. just the impact that he has in the run game put him on an island protecting the blind side against the best uh pass rushers in the league. It’s there I I I did see I forgot who said it but there there was one theory of Darasaw and his pitch count against the Browns where did Darasaw feel some soreness in that knee and they they pulled him from the game and did Kevin O’Connell give him cover? That’s probably more plausible than, hey, it’s a high lever spot against one of the best defensive lines in the le in the league and uh pitch count, so we’re pulling Darasaw. I don’t know. But I’m glad he’s listening to himself, listened to his body, relearning things because remember, he’s not even a year removed from blowing out all the ligaments. All right. And Darasaw, he’s the best. Good to go, man. Also, Darasaw on on the gram uh promoting his guy Walter Rouse, the pride of Stanford, Oklahoma. That’s right. And there there is some there is some question what’s going to go on now. It probably is going to be Justice School in for Brian O’Neal if he continues to miss time with that sprained MCL, but Rouse did fine uh at right tackle. And we were wondering too, like when Justice School was struggling earlier in the season, how come they’re not giving Rouse a shot? And Rouse does have some left tackle, right tackle, and as well as guard flexibility. So Darasaw going to bat for his guy. And it’s funny like Daras and Rouse are bffs and they’re like polar opposites like where Walter Rouse is very verbose. He’s very well spoken Stanford guy of course. Uh and I every every single player in under the sun has their own podcast now. But I actually would listen to Walter Rouse like his segments on Telus Mattel like Rouse and Mattel should have their own podcast. That’ be good. Whereas Darasaw is the strong silent type. I I think we’ve heard Christian Darasaw say like five words. He He does all of his talking on the field. Just quiet professional. That’s what he does, man. Good to see. Yeah. Also good to see. Uh Daniel Gus, data analyst, NFL coverage, EPA, expected points added. So on offense, plus good. On defense, negative good. Uh, so Devin Lloyd, well, I mean that if he picks six Mahomes for like 95,000 yards, I mean that’s gonna happen. Isaiah Rogers two defensive scores, two two punch outs. J Josh Melis, the interception also making some Jane changing plays. Jaylen Petri and Jordan Lewis in the news. It’s good to see. So, of course, you know, Ro beyond Rogers and the touchdowns, just Rogers has been rock solid in coverage as well. He’s been good in run support. Uh he he wasn’t really known as, you know, tackling, but he’s feisty, man. He’s feisty. He’s fast. He’s got a spunky attitude. Love, man. Of course, Josh Battellis faux fo. That’s right. Uh is one of the best most versatile defensive backs in the game. Well, defensive back linebacker just all over the place, man. It’s good. Awesome, man. Also, someone that’s opposite awesome. Purple persuasion. Uh the only only the New York Giants 49 had more penalties accepted against them than the Vikings for faux fo in 2025. 20 of them have been pre- snap most in the league. The Giants have played one more game than the Vikings. This is an unacceptable problem that needs to be fixed out of the buy. So a lot of pre- snap penalties, a lot of procedural penalties. Now you could just blame Jaden McCarthy for this, but it’s not correct. But 14 offensive line combinations completely changing who’s calling protections both in the pass game as well as against the run and just mental errors, right? And it’s something that does come down to coaching. Not just Kevin McConnell, but the coordinators, position coaches as well need to be drilling in these fundamentals and get guys ready on Sundays, right? So, it’s something that I’m sure was a point of empostasis during the by-week and into the rest of the regular season. Uh so, something to watch. Yeah. just the Vikings are going to cease penalties and also they’re going to get healthy and stay healthy the rest of the way and all of a sudden Super Bowl baby that’s right where this is probably the most I don’t know season there is like who’s the juggernauts of the league right now like everyone can get got it’s kind of awesome for the NFL also awesome so Bo Richtor hey Bo Richter uh playing a lot of special teams getting some intermittent defensive snaps But like I said, 54 was not good for an edge rusher. 98 is. So I’m glad they got that number back from Hargrave after the Phillips trade. Also, we need to bring back the aesthetic of because this is like JJ Watt adjacent where we’re in the knee brace on the elbow. That’s right, man. It’s good luck. I love it. Something I also love is hate watching football. So the haters have arrived. Yeah. Got Kevin McConnell. You got uh Justin Jefferson, Bucknasty. Woo. That’s right. Jonathan Gernard, beautiful. Hit me, baby. That’s right. It’s all right. So, the hate watching guide for Sunday, Bengals at Packers. Yes, this is the whole uh Don Magic Man. I think he broke his ankle and then Bert Favore came in. That was against the Bengals. And then come back at the end. Uh Green Bay is 14 and a half point favorites. Please jump in Joe Flacco. Please one time. Also, Jamar Chase left the facility with the illness today. How bad do you have to be to be sent home? Uh, Lions and the Chiefs. Can we get Arrowhead one time? Just please, baby, please. Chiefs are two and a half point favorites, but we’ll see. Sunday Night Football D and then Monday Night Football. Why Why are we having Monday Night Football double headers? It’s week six. I don’t like it. But the Bears and Commies rematch of the the the Fail Mary game. Well, didn’t they name that anything? Just Hail Mary. Jaden Daniels Hail Mary. Uh Tyreek Stevenson dumbass game. Is that it? Yeah. Uh but go Bengals. Go Chiefs. Go commies. That’s all. Anyways, that’s it. That’s it. A beautiful Saturday. Enjoy it. Let me get some sleep. You guys are the best you have to do. Skull production value. Hey,
