The 2018 season will be a very unusual one. People will see things that they have never seen before. It has already begun ,yet people are oblivious to it. The Vikings will play a key role in this. Truth is stranger than fiction
Isn't is strange that the Vikings drafted a kicker in the 5th round? A kicker? A kicker with a leg. Daniel Carlson will win the job as kicker. More important, he will handle the job of the kick off, if it still exits in the years to come. Even more important, look for Carlson to handle the job of punting. Yes, punting. Quigley was useful, but not necessary. Carlson handling the punting duties opens up another roster spot for the Vikings. HUGE. A double win!
Now, the most important thing, the red zone. With a 6'5" kicker sitting on the sidelines and a 6'2" bust 1st round receiver here is another chance to open a roster spot. Look for Carlson to be a red zone specialist. His 6-5 on a 5-9 corner will be an exploit that Defilippo will use every time. In the red zone the Vikings will always end up with 7 instead of the 3 we have grown so accustomed to.
Handling all the kicking duties, a red zone specialist, opening up 2 roster spots will earn Carlson MVP of the 2108 season. Sorry, Kirk "kissing" Cousins.
