You have JJ, Hock, Mason and a very good right side of the O line. No need to try and get cute there and draw up a pass play for the blocking TE. Come on KOC

The defensive front line while giving up some running lanes. They’re getting pretty consistent pressure this entire half. The front 7 have played much much better this half

I don’t think the Vikings have had a returner with this kind of juice and lateral agility since pre migraine Percy

Haha I even forgot about him. Ya he had the drop earlier, but it’s still Thielen, you make that trade for another option in situations like that.

Dont get me wrong, Oliver is as elite as it gets when it comes to blocking from the TE position, but let’s just keep him doing that.

I will say this, I love the right side of the offensive line. Jackson should be able to Be hidden once Darrisaw gets back. But damn I would be so much more hyped if that was Zabel at LG with Darrisaw coming back

Love him as a 3rd down back because he’s still such a huge threat with his route running and pass catching ability

10/17 - 113 yards - but dang those 2 TDs are clutch.
