Griffen having All Pro type season
Leads the NFL in pressures (20, Hunter right behind with 19).
Everson Griffen being back provides such a big boost to this Vikings defense. His get-off, power, and ability to win inside, out, or down the middle is tough to deal with & garners a lot of extra schemed attention, especially for non-elite/very good LTs pic.twitter.com/AtFXmm7n1m

Very glad to see him returning to form. We're a much better team when he's on his A Game, and I hope this means he's personally doing well and so is his family.
He and Dalvin are co-mvp's so far.
The only problem I have EVER had with Griffen is he starts of strong but fades late in the season. He was non existant in the NFC Title game in Philly two years ago.

He wasn't the only one unfortunately...

True.
I'm surprised that Stephen Weatherly has been relatively unproductive - Griffen has pushed him down but he's had playing time. Still would be a shame if he leaves after this season.
Vikings need to rotate their D-lineman more to keep them fresher. Gruden even mentioned in his pre-game presser vs. the Vikings that Zimmer loves to give his DLs lots of reps.
Griff had another good day...he seems to be all the way back...he's coming off the edge like he was shot from a cannon...great to see...
All-Vowels™ needs more reps too...his play at DT is keeping Hercules inactive...

Or shall I say, his pursuit of screens is still there. Both DEs are so fast. That sack near the endzone when Hunter shed the TE trying to block him and closed the gap so fast Jones had to eat the ball, just watch him close on Jones. Crazy.
Weatherly seemed flat yesterday. Odenigbo is making the most of his opportunities. I am super happy to see Everson back.
