Why Minnesota Vikings must commit to run game, tee up Jordan Mason | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
AT OHIO, IOWA STATE, SLIGHT DIFFERENCE. IOWA STATE DURING THE LIONS. BYE WEEK, THE LIONS ARE BACK AT IT AGAINST THE VIKINGS THIS WEEKEND AND AFTER THE DEEP CRAP IS WHAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW IS YOU’RE IN DEEP S***. THEIR SLUGGER, 42 TO 13, FINAL SCORE, THAT’S 1. I’LL TELL YOU ABOUT AHEAD OF TIME. I’LL GO AHEAD AND TELL YOU, LET ME KNOW IN THE LIONS. YEAH. HOW MANY INTERCEPTIONS IS JJ MCCARTHY GONNA THROW THIS WEEK 3? OKAY, I LIKE IT. ALL RIGHT, BUT MAYBE THEY CAN RUN THE BALL. MAYBE THEY CAN DO SOME OF THAT HELP THEM OUT. THEY SAID THEY WERE GONNA RUN THE DAMN BALL THIS YEAR. THEY HAVEN’T DONE IT. JORDAN MASON, I MEAN, COME ON. I TOLD YOU LAST WEEK, RIGHT? RUN THE BALL. I KNOW. I DON’T GET IT EITHER. THAT WAS THEIR MANTRA OF THE WHOLE OFFSEASON. THEY MADE THE SIGNINGS ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE THAT GOT JORDAN MASON. I TOLD YOU LAST WEEK, RIGHT BEFORE THE, THE THURSDAY NIGHT GAME LIKE THE IF THEY WANT TO WIN AND BEAT THE CHARGERS, YOU CAN’T THROW THE BALL, EVERY PLAY, YOU GOT TO START RUNNING THE FOOTBALL AND THAT’S TO ME A BIG ELEMENT THAT’S MISSING IN THAT AWESOME, KEVIN OCONELL OFFENSIVE ATTACK IS IS JUST RUN. GAME IS NOT UP THERE WITH THE OTHER TOP. OH, SEASON FOOTBALL IS IT IS SIMPLE. AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE COACHES SINCE 1969 IS IT AS SIMPLE AS KEVIN OCONELL WAS THIS QUARTERBACK WHISPERER WHO DESIGNS? GREAT OPEN AND AND AND SO HE JUST IS INCLINED RIGHT TO PASS RIGHT? MORE THAN RUN, RIGHT? YOU GOT KYLE IS ALL ABOUT DESIGNING. RUN PLAYS. WE NEVER HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT HOW KEVIN OCONELL DESIGNS. THESE GREAT RUN PLAYS. THE RUN GAME IS JUST AN AFTERTHOUGHT KNOW. WELL, YEAH, KYLE’S MMO IS RUN GAME. KEVIN OCONELL, IS MO WAS PASS GAME LIKE YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT? YEAH, RIGHT. THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED. RIGHT? WE REMEMBER THAT WAS THE THING WITH ANDY REID IN PHILADELPHIA EVEN IN THE EARLY YEARS OF KANSAS CITY. YEAH HE’S GOT ALL THESE COOL PLAYS IN THE PASS GAME SO THAT’S COOL. LOOK AT THAT. I TRUST THAT MORE THAN I HOPE MY GUYS BLOCK AND GET A GOOD PUSH AND RUN THE BALL UP THE MIDDLE AND THAT’S WHERE YEAH KEVIN. OKAY, HE GOT INTO THE NFL AS A HEAD COACH AND HE WENT WAIT, I GOT KIRK COUSINS, I GOT JUSTIN JEFFERSON. OH MY GOSH, EVERY TIME WE DROP BACK TO PASS I GET 1520 YARDS. SO HE BECAME OBSESSED WITH THAT AND HE CAN GET THEM OPEN ABOUT AS GOOD AS ANYBODY IN THE SPORT, BUT YOU CAN’T BE. SO 1 OF THAT WAY TO THINK YOUR OFFENSE CAN FUNCTION LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME AS WE KNOW AND THEY’VE, UH, THEY’VE HIT SOME PROBLEMS THERE. YOU’VE GOT TO BE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL, YOU’VE GOT TO BE UNPREDICTABLE. YOU GOT TO KEEP THE DEFENSE ON THEIR HEELS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM GUESSING BASED UPON FORMATION CIRCUMSTANCES. YOUR TENDENCIES AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU’RE GOING TO DO IN A GIVEN PLAY. WHEN YOU CAN MASTER THAT, YOU HAVE CREATED THE PERFECT OFFENSE BECAUSE THEY NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO DO AND THE VIKINGS. YEAH.
Mike Florio and Chris Simms explain why the big component missing from the Vikings’ offense is the run game and why they need to utilize Jordan Mason more. #NBCSports #NFL #ProFootballTalk

Literally the most uncreative running plan week after week.
KOChoke is allergic to running the ball – especially in short yardage situations
"They made these signings on the offensive line!" I mean, maybe I haven't been up to date on this, but hasn't the vikings O-Line been decimated since like, week 2?
KOC doesn't know how to run the ball. We all know it's not gonna happen
Tell us something we don't already know guys
KOC sucks
Telling a blonde politician who only throws deep to run…. Lmfao… Yea, run into a wall after throwing the sad qb mccarthy into a Lions den. Lulz
Like Beating a Dead Horse
They also don't have an o line that can make lanes for RBs so they just immediately get tackled
Fire Kwesi now and blow up the team
KOC has Sam Darnold 5 – 2 & Daniel Jones 7 – 1. Send us your Qb and KOC will fix and Kwesi will not sign.
Toss a queerleader in at QB and let Jordan Mason run run run!
You mean tee up Jones!
Mike
I am long time Viking fan like you but what KOC is doing to this team is horrifying the last 9 games including last year with all this passing deep routes he is becoming a QB killer not Whisper 😢
The Vikings current offensive line can't run block or pass block. If Patrick Mahomes was their QB1 they would still lose.
4 YARDS RUSHING AGAINST CHARGERS!!!! ATROCIOUS!!
