Lets see what he can do with a better offensive line. It might be fun.

Honestly, Cousins is the least of my concerns.

Would honestly like to see our defense maybe give up LESS than 30 points a game.

....BARF....

Top 5 defense coming back
Very young and talented OL
Potential Fitz as your 3rd WR

This will be Kirk's best year

I'd say more like top 1/2 defense.  In 2019 they were 15th in pass defense ypg and 13th in rush defense (14th overall) with the whole crew.  What gave that team a boost to its #5 scoring D rank was a +11 turnover margin.  Since then they lost Griffin/Joseph/Rhodes/Waynes and then Harris in FA with Alexander leaving and now returning, plus Hunter and Barr returning from 2020 injuries.

Wonnum/Dantzler/Gladney/whoever the hell is at S  are still far too unproven for me to predict this D being 10 slots better than 2019. Better than the 2020 trainwreck no doubt, but top 5 is a biiiiiig jump.  

To show you how crazy human-pinball the NFL has become, the 2020 Vikings outscored the 2019 team by 23 points, and dropped from 8th to 11th in the scoring rankings. 

2019: Scoring 8th total plays 27th rushes 4th, pass attempts 30th sack% 8th best (let's hear it for rollouts)
2020: Scoring 11th, total plays 19th, rushes 8th passes 27th sack% 23rd (even rollouts won't save you from Dozier)

So even in 2020 when the Vikings are falling behind all the time because their D is helpless, they still end up 27th in pass attempts?  Maybe we need to gag Zimmer when the Vikings have the ball.  Hopefully an improved OL will reduce the sacks.

Worst starting field position on offense and defense. Major suckage.
