We will be a more physical team. We will improve the interior of the lines. Allen is a fiery captain on D and two ass kickers got added to the offensive line. That mentality is needed, it'll bring the fire out in the other guys. Its also necessary because the NFCN is a damn good division. All of this helps McCarthy tremendously and expect Aaron Jones to look amazing. This is what can happen when done properly on a rookie QBs salary. Washington is trying to do the same with Daniels. New England too. Major kudos to the Viking's organization.

Vikings making moves…this wouldn’t have happened with the Sam Darnold contract.
-Will Fries: 5 years, $88M
-Jonathan Allen: 3 years, $60M
-Ryan Kelly: 2 years, $18M
-Javon Hargrave incoming too
Trenches is where games are won.

Enforcing your will situationally is all it takes for success, you don't need to beat somebody up every single play. But when I need 3 yards for a first down to seal the game and you can't stop me? Priceless.
You're right, I think we'll always pass more than we run. It's just the way KOC likes to play and it's hard to argue with the results. I do think upgrading the interior of our OL will help our running game be more efficient. That's all we need. If you can run between the tackles and get short yardage when you need it, it opens everything up. Outside runs, passing game, etc.
