WK 6 ~ BYE ~ Season Recap ~ Discussion ~ News, etc.
We're 5-0!!! As per the Vikings' way, it's been interesting, to say the least.
I usually don't like an early BYE, but I'm okay with this one. It will give the players time to heal for week 7 when the Colts come trotting into town. We really need them all back! Remaining schedule isn't going to be a "walk-in-the-park".
Awesome that we've had 3 S.T. players named Player of the Week.
Week 2 ~ Isaiah Rodgers
Week 3 ~ Myles Price / Also the September S. T. Player of the Month.
Week 4 ~ Will the Thrill
Murray is finally showing what he's capable of. He's 69/101 passes (68.3%) for 662 yds.
Defense... well, we all know how they're doing ~ GREAT!!!
So, what's your opinion/thoughts of the team/season so far? Any favorite highlights you want to re-share?
BTW ~ We'll remain undefeated this week too! 😂

The #Vikings’ biggest weapon this season outside of their defense?

KICKER WILL REICHARD!

Thought one of the most positive Vikings things from the tape yesterday was the way they finished the game on the ground. Creative run schemes (wham, power, Jefferson at FB, etc.). OL did the job. Aaron Jones ran hard as hell. Generated 6-yard and 8-yard chunks.

JuJu Smith-Schuster was 1 of 3 WRs the Vikings worked out Monday, using Cam Miller (NDSU) as their QB. The list below, along with what Kevin O'Connell said about the WR position yesterday. pic.twitter.com/Q4xtLHC3hP

Is there a feasible player that you would like the Vikings to trade for prior to the deadline of November 10th?

Vikings/Saints film review… LDR deserves the same love we give Redmond. Controlled quickness, heavy hands with big time motor. #elpresidente

Omarion Hampton would rule with the Vikings when they run gap scheme stuff, but the Chargers would be foolish to move on from him in year two https://t.co/Pkjb6oq9Bc

I mentioned Quinton Nelson in another thread. Last year of his deal. Slide him in at LG, move Huber to RG. Whatever the cost is to acquire him you’d probably get back when he leaves as a FA. I think it plays.
