  • Shout out

    Thank you Matthew Coller and routine guests! You have taught me so much since I started listening a few years ago. I’ve always been a Vikings fan, but this show has elevated my fandom and enjoyment for watching our team. I have more understanding, excitement, and confidence when it comes to talking about the Vikings. Some of us our optimists too, even after tough losses or rocky seasons!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Training Camp preview: Running Backs
Q: When do you expect Kyler Murray to know the offense well enough to start in a game for that team?
Two weeks before the end of training camp, when they switch over to game planning, and by the end of camp it should be clear who is the starter.
A Vikings vs. the NFC South conversation with Erin Summers
Q: What would you like me to talk you into for Week 5?
The Saints have a real path to competing for the division power by stabilizing quarterback play behind Shuck, leveraging their upgraded run game and offensive line, and exploiting matchups against a Vikings defense that has shown holes early in the season; Summers argues the Saints could surprise by Week 5 if health and cohesion come together.
When should the Vikings QB competition be decided?
Q: What date do you think the quarterback competition will be decided by?
They propose August 3rd as a starting point, but argue that true clarity will come only after the first full week of padded practices, the night practices, and some preseason reps, likely culminating around August 10th when reps begin to flip decisively toward one starter.
When should the Vikings QB competition be decided?
Q: What date do you think we will be done talking about the Vikings quarterback competition?
The hosts discuss August 3rd as a possible marker for when the competition remains open for debate, followed by a process of gradually shifting reps through the first padded practices and preseason, with a clearer read by August 10th or after that first week of pads.
More deserving of hype, the Vikings or Lions?
Q: Talk me into the fact that the Minnesota Vikings will not finish in last place in this division, given the quarterback question and the rest of the roster.
Trevor explains that while the Vikings have quarterback uncertainty, the combination of coaching, potentially improved weapons, and the overall volatility of the division could still position them not to finish last; he believes there is a path for competitive play if Kyler Murray-like consistency is not required every game and if the defense, led by Flores, can rise to meet the offense.
