I love the addition of Mason. He's an ideal RB2 and could easily be RB1 if you need him to be. Hell, it's not too far of a reach to say that he could actually have more carries than Jones this year.
But I can't be the only one just a little concerned about Aaron Jones. Dalvin Cook hit a wall at, what, 27? 28? Aaron is probably more injury prone than Dalvin was and he'll turn 31 before we play our last 5 games. When we added him a year ago, almost all of us had our guard up due to concerns about his age and injury history. He gets through the season relatively unscathed and suddenly all those concerns have seemingly gone away for many.
Either Ty Chandler has to figure out how to pass block or this team needs to add another back before September.

I like the Mason signing a bunch as RB2. A nice change of pace guy.
But...I cant help but feel we got LeRoy Hoard and Chester Taylor in the backfield this year.
About as exciting as my oatmeal in the morning. I'll get over it at some point.

Super Excited about this tandem. Would be comfortable with 1 more guy similar to Akers. Don't think Jones can go the season without missing time with injury. I would be nice to see the Vikings incorporate wide receiver screens with Tia and Moore.
