This is a no frills forum designed for entertaining discussion about our beloved Vikings. Many of us have been discussing Vikings football together for years/decades, resulting in a camaraderie which we strive to preserve.
I lurked and posted a few times on the PP board. But it just wasn’t the same.
Fair enough. Who is your breakout players in 2021? 1 from the defense and 1 from the offense.
Defense is tricky. Nobody jumps out besides the obvious. I like Peterson under Zimmer. He fits the scheme and might be past his prime but should be good. I’m intrigued by going with the double NT approach on the D line. With a pass rusher line Hunter coming back and both those guy possibly demanding double teams on the inside should give Hunter some free rushes and a lot of one on one. But we’ll see. D looks good on paper but there’s a lot of new additions and that doesn’t usually translate to immediate success.
Offensively I loved the Ihmir Smith-Marietta pick. I think he’s a future replacement for Thielen and could make some waves as WR3 this season but we’ll see again.
Lacks pocket awareness at times and is not as mobile as I'd like in a QB. Pretty much the same as before but I still think he could lead us to our 1st SB if the rest of the team is better. We might have a shot if the additions to both lines improve the team overall.

Yeah that’s fair. I’ve personally loved this offseason. I’m not a Spielman fan but I give him an A. But it’s not his job to put the pieces in the right spot so time for Zimmer and the players to show up.

I think our current coaching staff are really stoked that Ricky added these FAs and draft picks to our team.

Another Cali vikes fan? Where are you moving to?
I already have tickets to the Vikings Chargers in LA later on this year at SoFi stadium.. hopefully it won't be my only visit to SoFi this season
Well, technically, I have tickets to Chargers Chiefs for a Thursday night game in week 15... ok, so hopefully I can make it there for a 3rd game, if you catch my drift.
