Top 5 graded #Vikings on the offense according to @PFF

1. Blake Brandel 91.2
2. Aaron Jones 90.9
3. Sam Darnold 88.1
4. Brian O'Neill 85.9
5. Christian Darrisaw 79.4

Welcome to the starting lineup Blake!

Our fatties carried tha day n both sides.  Our OT’s were facing the teeth of the Gints defenders and handled them.  I LMAO AT  That holding penalty on Darrisaw early in the game.  , he picked Thibodeaux up and rag doll slammed him down -  didn’t see a flash from Thibdeaux after. Lol

Brandel showed out well. Big, big dude, tall for an OG. Added some very good strength since being drafted.

They're not going to be replaced this year if that's what you're hoping for. Ingram might when Risner comes back, but then we take a hit in the run game. It'll be interesting to see what the Vikings do. 

But it's all about matchups. In last night's game, Chris Collinsworth called Frank Ragnow the best center in the league. And he is definitely one of the best. But he struggled against Dexter Lawrence in their last matchup. Last year against the Falcons and Grady Jarrett, Ragnow's pass blocking grade was 19.7. Bradbury's pass blocking grade against the same Falcons DL was 65.8. It's all about game plans and matchups and how lines game plan to manage the interior pass rush. 

If you're point is that this is not a team without weaknesses, no disagreement. But we just beat Dexter Lawrence's team 28-6, gave up one sack, ran the ball fairly well, and our ne're-do-well QB had enough time to complete his first 12 passes and now leads the NFL in passing efficiency. I think even you might find a sliver of hope in that. :-)

LOL, I wanted him replaced 2 offseasons ago, I think he was a large part of the team not being able to ever hit their stride offensively with Cousins, they still made some great plays, but I dont think KC ever really trusted his protection up the middle, and I think his run blocking is over exaggerated since he typically get to jump to the 2nd level and hit a LB or get out and hit a DB, when it comes to him having to try and move a DT... it just doesnt happen. He seems like a nice guy, but he just isnt a good NFL offensive lineman IMO.

Jurgens may be starting before December.

Jurgens may be starting before December.

KOC mentioned at today's presser that Bradbury dinged his knee in the game but he kept playing.

Ingram is not being replaced by Risner unless he gets hurt

[Montana Tom]

Now I am beginning to understand why they signed him to a 3-year deal at a higher rate than Risner.

WOW

Bradbury & Ingram was getting all the heat because they were an easy pass.
Ingram is the weakest link.
