Vikings offensive plan changes, 2026 draft priorities, cap space levers and more: Ep. 134 | Presented by First Resource Bank
Q: What's more likely over time? JJ learns to operate the KOC Preferred Offense or KOC adapts his scheme to better fit J.J.'s skill set?
It seems both JJ. McCarthy is learning to adapt to the offense and Kevin O'Connell is making adjustments based on JJ.'s skills, but the adaptation is limited by the current personnel.
