New positional coach I have high hopes for....
https://www.vikings.com/team/coaches-roster/chris-kuper
Worked under Mike Munchak. Played at UND. Only 39 years old.
Man, that OL and all the coaches...What a s hit show for too long.
Hopefully this guy can work to get the most out of the talent they have.
I think most of us would agree at least 3 of the starting 5 are pretty decent players.
One of the more encouraging things about Kuper is that he helped coach Garrett Bowles' improvement. Bowles was one of the biggest disappointments of the 2017 class. Uber talented but constantly fucking up, he drew the ire of Denver radio for his first three seasons. Like Bradbury, his 5th year option was declined.
But then a funny thing happened. He started to improve in his 4th season. Actually making 2nd team All Pro that year. Broncos then inked him long term. Can the same thing happen with Bradbury?

Agreed. Bradbury is getting dominated.

Yes. Two other options as well:

I don't even think it's that unlikely. Now, will he go from flat bust to all pro like Bolles did? Probably not.But the fact that this new staff came in, watched his tape and decided to do nearly nothing about the center position is telling. It's a critical position for the offense. So it either tells us they're unfathomably stupid or they think they can fix him.
Been looking for Munchak’s scheme but havent found any nerdy reads. looks like a true mix. I tell you what Le Von Bell running behind that steelers line was a thing of beauty.
