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
