Tyler Shough is on pace to take the most contact in 2 decades. That isn't good.

Tyler Shough is throwing the ball way too much, he’s taking too many hits and it feels like the team is playing with fire.

The Vikings have been using shotgun to run the ball at the highest rate during the KOC area. An attempt to merge Kyler’s skillset with the offense.

Despite wanting to be a zone team, I think they should pull different run concept levers and lean into being a boom-bust offense. https://t.co/2GbfksVfmR pic.twitter.com/yivKEbqs3K

Didn't realize how lightly used Jones was with GB. I remember delusional fans saying he was better than AP.

I dont think I saw him wearing one of those big, protective helmets?

Maybe he needs to re-think that going forward.

Sure they do...

I got an elite LT tackle tree in my back yard we can pluck one from. It's growing right across from my franchise QB hedge, adjacent to my stud RB shrub.

Darrisaw isn't going anywhere.

Sounds like the Vikings are considering elevating Odell Beckham Jr. from the practice squad on Saturday as insurance, essentially.

If he's elevated and both Jefferson/Addison wind up active, Beckham would be inactive for the game, KOC said.

"We're still working through what that looks like" -KOC on potentially elevating OBJ to the 53-man on Sunday.
