These 3 preseason games dont give much away when it comes to what to expect this season.
If anything it gives some 3rd and 2nd tier guys a chance to shine and we as fans can assess depth. So, I will be curious to see what they trot on the field game 1 reg season.

Another NFL season begins and so does our hopefulness. Can't help it. Its a fun part of the year regardless.

It's going to be interesting. At least the playcalling won't be as predictable. The defense should be fun as well.

I’m worried about the defense. The scheme change is a big deal. I’m also of the belief that with a new coach the team should do a little more in the pre season rather than sit everyone. If Buffalo can play leading MVP candidate Josh Allen, then why can’t the Vikings play Cousins in a new scheme?
If they start the season off slow, I do not want to hear a single quote about it takes time to adjust to a new scheme.

I can see both sides, but I probably lean toward sitting the key starters. I absolutely do not want to see JJ and Hunter on the field with a bunch of bubble players trying to make an NFL roster.

Quote: @SkolVikings44 said:It's going to take weeks to get the new schemes (both sides) implemented and executed with the least number of mistakes. Last preseason was a shitshow from the very start until the season began it got worse  I was an advocate for starting "more" of our starters last year but that was because we looked so inept even with the few starters we had out there, and we had another new first-time OC like this year. I see both sides as well but for some reason even with all new coaching and schemes we don't look great but we also don't look listless like last year either so I wouldn't mind seeing a few more starters next week like Cousins for a series or 2 tops and then pull them all out.

ITs a tough one and I can see both sides to it...
If I HAVE TO CHOOSE JUST ONE? I'm probably more in Maroons camp; I dont risk playing my starters against 2nd stringers/bubble players/scrubs trying to make an NFL roster. They are getting plenty of reps in our own camp as well as scrimmages vs 49'ers.

I am hoping for the best for the 2022 team but I would not be surprised if history repeated itself. New players, new O & D systems, new coaches, and new play caller make it easier to expect a slow start but obviously we all are hoping for a good start and successful season. Go vikes!

Quote: @purplefaithful said:Yea and last year we had a veteran group of "starters" on both sides. This year we will have 8+ new players "starting" a position even before taking new schemes into account. I lean towards playing them more but really splitting hairs at this point because I expect a lot of early season mistakes across the board. Good - we only had 2 penalties yesterday. Bad - we had 3 TO's and the play clock was decisively in favor of the 49'ers as a result.
