Let's get excited about the Vikings

On the latest edition of the podcast, I’m joined by Shawn Syed of @SyedSchemes and Daily Norseman to discuss all things Vikings. We hit on:

• The offensive philosophy of Kevin O’Connell

• Preseason expectations vs. the week one reality

• The use of Justin Jefferson — and how it compares and contrasts with the use of Cooper Kupp in LA

• How the Packers tried to defend Jefferson, and what that means for opposing defenses moving forward

• The role of Kirk Cousins within the offense

• What we expect to see moving forward

• How Ed Donatell has re-shaped the defense

• How (and why) Donatell is adjusting to fresh challenges from offenses

• What will be sustainable over the year and what won’t be

• The unique challenge of the Philly offense — and what the week two matchup will tell us about the Vikings

• All that and a whole bunch more
