One thing that I think got lost in the less than stellar QB play is the play calling seemed to be on a completely other level that what we have become use to. I kept asking myself during the game if that was really the Vikings calling those plays. It was incredibly refreshing to see more passes on 1st down and not the standard run on 1st and 2nd and then throw on 3rd and long. Loved seeing 4 WR sets and a more aggressive approach. Kene and Chandler both had great games, which I think was really helped out by the wide open offensive strategy. Cook, JJ and Thielen are going to really excel in this system. I think we definitely carry 6 WRs this year.
Agreed. I am so ready for Jefferson to go nuclear this year and yesterday was encouraging seeing some of the running lanes. I think— provided he can stay mostly healthy— that Dalvin is going to remind everyone this season that he belongs in that conversation for best RB in the game. I know Zim gave him a lot of touches but I think KO will give him higher quality touches and put him in better situations. That plus the improved O-line and I really think he’ll smash this year. Excited for this offense.
Absolutely. It was refreshing to see that play calling. Interesting, we are going to have a hard time nailing down the 6 WRs for this team
Jet-Adam-KJ-ISM are locks, but who do you pick for 2 out of:
Nailor-Wilson-Chisena-Mitchell-Johnson
Wilson has a lot of sneaky game, plus PR/KR abilities
Nailor is a rookie with a high ceiling and a lot of speed
Mitchell showed good hands, route running, yesterday
Bisi is reliable, solid, strong route runner
Dan could be the fastest. Plays well on special teams
I bet it will be Wilson and Nailor. Wilson the vet, Nailor the rookie, both can play PR. I hope we can stash Mitchell. Let Bisi and Dan find teams with less stacked WR rooms
It's still early, but I'm not sure Bisi makes this roster in 22

Like @ Skodin said he’d be a better fit on a team without as much WR talent as the Vikings have. The top 3 are locked in and ISM has shown more in a year than Bisi ever has, so he’s in too. For the 5th wideout spot I think the Vikings will lean towards upside versus steady hand. That would be Nailor. The muffed punt (KR? I forget) by Nailor wasn’t great yesterday though. Wilson vs Johnson are fighting for the last spot I bet.

PFF agrees... Pretty big difference from last year...even if it's 2nd teamers vs 2nd teamers

There were a lot of points left out there. Coulda shoulda had at least 2 more TD's. If the defense can hold up their end, this team has a chance.

Yeah, yeah, only 1 preseason game but,,,
5th in pass blocking and 4th in coverage (without PP and Harry)? Pinch me.

We may have been without PP and Harry...but we also weren't covering Davante...

Or Renfro and Waller. These stats are fun but really don't means a whole lot at this point.
