Going to see a different side to Kevin O'Connell

"In our league nowadays, every single team, it feels like I talk to you guys (the media) every week and it's another week where I'm talking about interior impact defensive players with length and explosiveness and athleticism," O'Connell said. "You have to be able to combat that with strength and the body type like Donovan has. Envisioning him being on a front with potentially Ryan Kelly and Christian Darrisaw, Will Fries, and Brian O'Neill, that's a pretty formidable group on paper. We’ve got to make it come to life on the grass.
"We've learned over time how people defend us," O'Connell said. "And the ability to win consistently at the line of scrimmage is going to be something that I think bodes well for not only our ability to run the ball, but our ability to throw the football as well when people feel like they've gotta do different things than maybe they have in the past to defend us" - KOC

Very telling quotes above, I expect for opponents to see O'Connell's teeth more often in big boy situations, he'll go for the jugular because he's got the plow horses now. He's been waiting to amass this type of offensive line and defensive line. He'll be confidently aggressive....he's got an intelligent playcaller's fearlessness and no-mercy attitude. Expect to see it in HD this year. He'll have something different for Sean McVay and The Meathead this year: his bitch slapping hand out.

KOC has the brains to use this new found brawn for sure...

It looks great on paper, legit reasons for optimism.

It's probably been since 09 where I felt this good about an OL. And that one did not have the ceiling this one does.

Heck, we probably got to go back to 98:
Steussie
McDaniel
Christy
Dixon
Big K

Now they just gotta go do it - vs a very formidable schedule.

I'm kidding guys

It will be so exciting to see the Vikings line up and just pound the rock. Over the past few years on 3rd and short it was a pass or roll the dice with a run.

Kelly has to stay healthy and Darrisaw has to come back as good as he was. So let’s not count our chickens yet. But I like what’s in the basket.
