O-line benefiting from cohesion/time to gel

Darnold currently has a perfect 158.3 passer rating when blitzed!    He’s like 8 of 8 for 200+ yards & 3 touchdowns! Pretty pretty good…

the best part of the early part of the season... stats are useless,  to small of a sample size,  its the very short time of year where all we can do is sit back and enjoy the blind love of the game.

So true. I'm enjoying it week to week. What tomorrow holds I can't control. But as long time Viking's fans, we know how the story ends. Its hard to shake that nagging suspicion things will ultimately end poorly. Always a first time, I suppose.

Vikings had a top 12 offensive line last year. PFF’s end of year rankings had them 12th. PFN and Player Profiler both had them 8th.

Could be even better this year. Brandel’s been an upgrade from Risner, and a big part of the reason we’re running the ball better. Bradbury’s always about his matchup, but he’s never been worse than league average. Ingram still whiffs aplenty but he’s playing with some serious attitude that you love to see. But they'll get a test this weekend with Hunter and Anderson.

Go get it, Tom! I'm 30 minutes from a nice glass of Scotch with a big cube.

We can have both, actually. Give me DT Deone Walker out of Kentucky in the Draft and sign a nice OG in free agency. Boom! (for Wet).

I myself do love a nice Macallan 18 neat.

Oh, and a huge (literally & figuratively) fan of Walker too. He would really make this defensive front legit scary to go up against.

Love Macallan, one of my fave single malts. Costco has great prices on both the 12 and 18 year. I'm not a fan of the more smokier types like Laphroaig.

One thing I see on TV is both Brandel and Bustbury are really getting low in their pass sets. It stands to reason they are getting stood up very little. I love it. O n the other side, Ingram has alot ofthe tools he just seems to have slow feet on the snap/first move.
