  • Already Addicted — Send Help!

    Five stars for Thor Talks Purple because this show is already messing up my routine in the best way. I love getting Thor daily now instead of once a week, and I’m already hooked on the draft breakdowns. If he sneaks in some fantasy advice, just know my team is about to be unstoppable 🤞🏼. Sure, I might fall behind on laundry and pretend I didn’t see a few emails… but that’s the price of greatness.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are Kevin O'Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on the same page?; Late round draft options for Minnesota Vikings
Q: Do you see a late round fullback or H back that would fit?
I have five late round fullback options, including Max Bredesen who is a strong blocker.
Are Kevin O'Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on the same page?; Late round draft options for Minnesota Vikings
Q: What can a first round cornerback do that a third to fourth can't?
The drop off isn't that substantial and a first round cornerback could be a waste unless you're getting a Charles Woodson type.
What's the CONFIDENCE level in Kevin O'Connell and Minnesota Vikings coaching staff?
Q: Do you trust that Kevin O'Connell is able to adjust the personnel based on the offensive formations?
From the treetops, I do trust O'Connell; there's been criticism, but I believe he can adapt.
What's the CONFIDENCE level in Kevin O'Connell and Minnesota Vikings coaching staff?
Q: With young quarterbacks, what would you think of the Vikings going back to a two-back offense?
In the modern NFL, spreading the defense is beneficial rather than going back to an old school two-back offense, which might pack the box too much.
What's the CONFIDENCE level in Kevin O'Connell and Minnesota Vikings coaching staff?
Q: What needs to change for you? Maybe the first question is, if you had final say in the decision, you get to the offseason, if you could cut him loose and bring in somebody else to be the quarterback coach for the Vikings, would you?
No, I do not believe Josh McCown should be back with the Vikings next season. I would prefer someone that teaches mechanics and encourages developmental progress in young players.
