Alec Lewis on Dallas Turner: “third-year edge rusher Dallas Turner’s finish to the season excited the Vikings staff. His goal for 2026 will be to enhance his pass-rush tool bag. Minnesota views him as an ascending core player, but it will continue to be interesting to see how the Vikings allocate him snaps alongside edge rushers Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel.”

Hopefully yes also this is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video 😂 SKOL
15 years of run/run/pass/punt and we finally get a coach who wants to air it out and people want to run the ball… Just get a QB who can complete a 10 yard in and throw
you manage the clock with the run game. you keep your defense fresh by using the run game. you limit opponent possessions by using a run game.
you get keep possessions with a good short game
Should have picked up David Montgomery before he went to the Texans. Of course having a solid run game depends on having a good O line, not the shite we have. Whens Kelly gone?
Whatever B-Flo wants, give it to him!! Got a sinking feeling he may be the HC next year.
You realize the pass heavy play calling comes from trailing in games? I agree his play calling needs to improve but there is straight correlation to scoreboard and play calling
What finally FIRED KEVIN O'CONNELL & hearing brian Flores as our new head coach its about time KEVIN O'CONNELL Needs to Go period period
Great stat presentation thank you..
His play calling sucks he is the worst coach in Minnesota history fired Kevin O'Connell already bring up Brian Flores already he be a better head coach then Kevin O'Connell will ever be
Hopefully, the addition of these coaches will help KOC let go of his pass-happiness, just a little bit to commit to a true balanced offense. That will help out which ever a QB we have.
SKOL!!!
SKOL!!!
Another pod did presentation on K. Murray stats.This would be a great presentation from your perspective.There's a lot of great stats out there it would make for an interesting pod that really would
Jordan Mason gonna have a career year.
Skol
Yes trade Grenard, let Dallas take his place and get some more draft picks
Been saying that for 2 years. Young ,injury prone QB. Help him out!
It don't matter i have never seen aa team that has no luck with picks or fas
Van gink is 💯 disruptor defense player…..love the gink
Only trade ill accept is burrow him or nothing
I would like to sign safety Brian Cook from the chiefs. He'd fit right in a Flores led defense
Y
The news ive been waiting for 😱 Oh please, little dramatic wouldnt you say??? The biggest reason our running game has sucked, has NOTHING to do with the running backs. Our Offensive lines have sucked. Simple as that !
Ok you need an O line to have a run game, there's the problem
Minnesota's moving to Hawaii
Go Lions
🏈💜💛 SKOL! 🏈💜💛
Emmet Johnson is slow
KOC is a horrible coach, he doesn’t adjust his game plan for his players
N
3:33 take Emmett Johnson as RB
Skol too the Purple & Gold !!
Skol
Definitely yes
