Podcast appearances and mentions of Mackensie Alexander

Police Interrogation of Dallas Cowboys Cornerback Mackensie Alexander Or, more accurately, the attempted interrogation of Cowboys cornerback Mackensie Alexander, as the footballer's attorneys were having nothing of any interrogation. That said, Mr. Alexander made the most of his interrogation room — or "First 48," as he put it — experience

In this episode of the Fins Family Podcast, we recap the Miami Dolphins gut-wrenching 15-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in week 2 of the 2022 NFL preseason. We'll take a look at how Tua Tagovailoa faired in his first action of the year, commiserate over the running game for a second straight week, and fall in love with Erik Ezukanma.All 3 QBs got in the gameTua looks good, shows strong command and leadership; did a good job buying time and finding the open receiverBridgewater looked like Teddy Bridgewater, some beautiful throws overshadowed by excessive backward running and overthrown ballsSkylar Thompson stole the show again making a case for himself as the backupThe Receiving CoreMike Gesicki was having a rough go and stayed in for a large portion of the game because of it.Erik Ezukanma solidifies a roster spot, and likely the 4th WR spot to boot with a strong 6 catches for 114 yards that only tells a small part of the story.Despite being heavily targeted and involved, Braylon Sanders failed to make a positive impression.Trent Sherfield pulled in his lone target for 16 yards on a beautiful route and throw from Tua. Since he's playing with the 1's I'd assume he's got a spot.Lynn Bowden Jr played heavily on special teams but only had 1 target on offense.River Cracraft ran some nice routes and did a great job getting open to bail out his QB, just not sure he's shown enough.Mohamed Sanu and Preston Williams didn't move the needle at all for themselves. The Run Game Struggles Again18 carries for 37 yards from 7 ball carriers.Salvon Ahmed leads the night with 5 for 20.Sony Michel fails to convert on 2nd and 1 and 3rd and 1, finishing with 2 carries for 0 yards.Chase Edmonds runs 3 times for 3 yards.Myles Gaskin goes 4 for 12 with a fumble at the end of the half.ZaQuandre White with a beautiful pass from Skylar Thompson, makes a man miss, and scores.Cornerback WoesNoah Igbinoghene continued to struggleNik Needham and Keion Crossen both went down with seemingly minor injuries but both were lost for the game; Needham was having a good game before the injury.Mackensie Alexander got smoked on a slant on one of his first plays in the game but redeemed himself on a nice pass breakup a few plays later.Kader Kohou took advantage of his opportunity, performing very well in coverage.Elijah Campbell had a meh night after a strong showing last week.Linebacker BattleStarters Zach Sieler, Jaelan Phillips, and Andrew Van Ginkel all stood out in their minimal play time.Duke Riley is a beast.Channing Tindall was all over the place, as the Madden sim told us he'd be, recording 6 tackles on the night and being around the ball constantly.Porter Gustin lands another sack and a TFL, making a strong case to put him on the 53-man.Cameron Goode was once again… good. 5 tackles and a tackle for a loss.Ben Stille showed up again too, grabbing a sack and a TFL for another strong showing.Did Darius Hodge play?  Jason Sanders misses the game-winning FG (46 yards)

Your Minnesota Vikings stay on the road, this time matching up with the Detroit Lions in their color rush silver uniforms. The Vikes are looking to get back to .500 once again and keep their hopes to slide into the playoffs alive. Will they? Nope. The Lions are looking to get their first win. Will they? Yes, they did. The beloved Purple are short some very key players, especially on defense. Eric Kendricks is out, along with Camryn Bynum who backs up the safety spot and comes in for dime situations. There is also Patrick Peterson who's been on Covid IR. He could possibly, theoretically return with a second negative test. Will he? Nope. Then if the questionable of Anthony Barr and Mackensie Alexander don't actually play, stopping even the Lions could be tough. Barr was out, but Mac was in. Over on the offensive side, the team will miss RB Dalvin Cook and LT Christian Darrisaw. Obviously Alexander Mattison will take over as the primary runner, and hopefully Kene Nwangwu will be spelling him. The only problem there is that Kene is questionable with an illness. He played. Are you looking forward to seeing what Nwangwu can do from the backfield? We at Climbing The Pocket sure are. With Darrisaw out, the Vikings are up to there shenanigans again, shuffling the O-line. They moved Oli Udoh from RG to LT, Garrett Bradbury will resume his starting role at center, and Mason Cole will slid to RG. How will that go? Meh. It could go extremely well or horrifically bad. What was your guess? We will all find out with you going live in the final two minutes of the game with The Final Score. 1) Highlights 2) Lowlights 3) Speed round and your questions 4) What's ahead The Final Score [the name for CTP's Postgame show] is ready for the season. There are 4 new regulars and the occasional guest. The focus will be on you the fan, and how you felt the team did. Hopefully racking up the wins in the regular season. Today, Flip, Matt, and Dave will all be here. Did you like what you saw? #SKOL Fan with us!!!

The Minnesota Vikings have now lost 2 games in a row by a total of 4 points. People say it was because of just two plays. Do you believe that? If you win on a lot more plays, these two aren't necessary. It is however for health of the Vikings' season that they grab victory against the Seattle Seahawks. This has been a team that has beaten Mike Zimmer's Vikings every time they have played. Will this game be any different? This will be the first time the Seahawks have taken on the Vikings at US Bank Stadium. The stadium, packed full of fans chanting Odin, and SKOL, will make a difference. They should have the Seahawks offensive linemen false starting. The Vikings defense which has yet to jell in two games, can now feed off the fans making noise, cheering, and down right amped up energy that flows within that glorious bowl and ETFE roof. Russell Wilson is getting older, but may be wiser and can still hurt you. He has two wide receivers in DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett that the purple secondary will have to shut down. A hard task when Bashaud Breeland hasn't lived up to expectations. Will we see Cameron Dantzler eventually take over? The “Meaty Boys” on the defensive line should have a better day, but Wilson can still run. Can they contain him? Then can the Vikes' offense continue to cook? Kirk Cousins has been playing well and a legitimate WR3 has been found in KJ Osborn. Can the running game get going, and set up more play-action? Dalvin Cook is recovering from an ankle injury and hasn't practiced all week. We might see more of Alexander Mattison as a result. The big question though is can the Vikings get the win and beat the Seahawks? On list topics: 1) Chris Carson - who has averaged 4.6 yards per carry against us.  2) Russell Wilson and his career stats against the Vikings. 3) Conerbacks D.J. Reed and Tre Flowers. 4) What kind of performance will Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and KJ ‘Ozzy' Osborn need to have a day against those guys?  5) Vikings corners Bashaud Breeland, Patrick Peterson, and Mackensie Alexander expectations. If they don't play better Sunday it's going to be another frustrating day for us Viking fans because someone needs to cover DJ Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes a look at the Vikings' decision to bring back defensive end Everson Griffen from a number of angles -- a couple of them unsurprising and one of them fairly surprising. He's the fourth former member of the defense to return in 2021, joining Mackensie Alexander, Sheldon Richardson and Stephen Weatherly. He's part of an overall defensive upgrade in the offseason that has seen the Vikings dole out more than 200 times as much guaranteed money to that side of the ball than to outside free agents on offense. And Griffen has the potential to be a disruption in the locker room after social media comments critical of Kirk Cousins. 8:00: Columnist Chip Scoggins joins the show to talk about his recent story on the big business of charitable gaming and how it funds a lot of youth sports initiatives in Minnesota. Youth sports organizations in the state generated more than $100 million in net receipts -- no, that's not a misprint -- in 2020, and the number could go up this year. Scoggins discusses how we got to this point, where the money is doing and what the potential problems are with all of this. 28:00: Is there finally good news for people trying to watch the Twins, Wild, Wolves and other teams on Bally Sports North? That's the message from a recent report. Also, a brief Kirill Kaprizov update and an appreciation of the St. Paul Saints.

TVA's Adam Patrick and Adam Carlson discuss the possibility of Kellen Mond starting a game for the Minnesota Vikings during the upcoming season, what sort of role Mackensie Alexander might have with the Vikings in 2021, why Minnesota should consider extending Tyler Conklin, and why Harrison Smith should be able to get back to lining up all over the field next season.   Follow The Viking Age!

In this episode Tyler breaks down the top 5 corner back prospects for the draft and the likelihood that the Vikings would take one is high at #14 could be possible. After the legal issues of Jeff Gladney surfaced, suddenly the signing Patrick Peterson and Mackensie Alexander for a one year rental, Mike Hughes’ injury history and the fact that the only CB on the roster for 2022 may only be Cameron Dantzler, throw in Mike Zimmer’s affinity for corners and this selection may indeed happen. Cornerbacks This cornerback class was a lot of fun. From top to bottom, this class is loaded in the top 100 with a lot of varying play styles. I believe there are upwards of 7 guys who could go in the first round with a lot of talent available into day 3. Corners are at a premium in the league now more than ever and I wouldn’t be shocked to see a massive run go early day 3. Corners are a fun position to break down. Some are excellent in press coverage and others only playing off coverage or zone. The biggest thing I look for when watching them is football IQ. How are their read and reaction skills? Do they have the athleticism to match their instincts and keep up with the receiver? How are their ball skills? When they get beat, how do they recover? A lot of nuances that get differentiate the different types of corners but they all still need to cover the receivers just the same.

Tonight on Mock Draft Monday, Tyler and Dave will wonder with the latest news concerning Jeff Gladney and his trouble with the law, that the Vikings may have moved cornerback further up on their needs list? Should they? The CB room got deeper this off season for sure, but losing one who started last season will hurt somewhat.

Nach der Saison ist vor der Saison und daher ist ein wenig Nachbereitung des Vergangenen nötig. Wir nehmen uns auch in dieser Saison wieder in unserer großen Review jeder einzelnen Division an und versorgen euch 2x wöchentlich mit dem Rückblick auf die NFL Saison 2020. Wir sind beim Grande Finale unserer Season Reviews angekommen. Patrick Rebien spricht mit Kevin Wieschhues und Stefan Reichl über die vergangene Saison der NFC North. Wie haben sich die Teams geschlagen? Wird es mit neuem Coach eine Renaissance der Lions geben? Wie haben die Bears es in die Playoffs geschafft und wieso sind die Packers so kurz vor dem Super Bowl am späteren Champion aus Florida gescheitert? Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf die Vikings und versuchen herauszufinden, was momentan ihr Ziel ist. Euch gefällt dieser Podcast - oder ihr habt Kritik, Fragen oder Anregungen? Dann freuen wir uns, wenn wir von euch hören. Lasst uns gerne bei iTunes eine Rezension und ein bisschen Feedback da.

The Climbing The Pocket Network’s and Daily Norseman’s ‘In The Huddle’ crew of various CTP personalities gathers to talk your Minnesota Vikings. Jayson Brown, Myles Gorham along with Dave Stefano will be there answering your Minnesota Vikings questions and talking what’s happening in free agency. Dakota Dozier is re-signed, Mason Cole traded for, the DB room grows with Patrick Peterson, Mackensie Alexander and Xavier Woods. What needs for the Vikes remain? What needs shored up? What rumors are we hearing? How do you feel? We talked O-line and I went off on the ineptitude of this organization to fix the issue. This morning, I see this simple printed piece that shows where the QB pressures come from. Per PFF, here’s the distribution of where pressure on Cousins came from last year (lower is better): LT: 14.0% (2nd lowest) LG: 26.1% (2nd highest) C: 16.5% (5th highest) RG: 25.0% (2nd highest) RT: 14.8% (5th lowest) QB: 15.3% (10th highest) It is simple to see and simple to know where to fix… So the Vikings re-sign Dakota Dozier. “Hey Spielman! You’re doing it wrong!” On tonight’s show: - Dakota Dozier re-signing - Breaking down Mason Cole - The revamped DB room - Current needs to shore up the roster #Vikings, #CTP, #InTheHuddle, #LetsGetLive Learn more about your ad choices.

BJ Reidell and Drew Mahowald discuss the Minnesota Vikings free agent signings of cornerback Mackensie Alexander and safety Xavier Woods.

Mackensie Alexander signs back with the Minnesota Vikings! Mackey & Judd hop on for an emergency episode of Purple Daily to discuss how Alexander solidifies the Vikings' cornerback group -- possibly better than at any point in Mike Zimmer's career as head coach. BUT... When are they finally going to address the left side of the offensive line? We're two weeks into free agency, and one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL is even worse now than it was last year!

Of course the Minnesota Vikings made a late Friday afternoon move, signing cornerback Mackensie Alexander. Do we like the signing? What do we expect from Alexander's role? What does this mean for Jeff Gladney and Cameron Dantzler? Plus Matt Harmon of Yahoo! Sports joins to talk about his Reception Perception project and why Justin Jefferson was so special and what the numbers say about Alabama's DeVonta Smith, who NFL Network mocked (once) to the Vikings

The Vikings traded for Arizona Center Mason Cole for pick 223, their compensatory 6th for the loss of Mackensie Alexander last offseason.

Matthew Coller and Sam Ekstrom talk about everything that happened on Day 2 of free agency's "legal tampering period," including a surprise exit from Ifeadi Odenigbo. After a day of sitting on the Dalvin Tomlinson signing, how are we viewing it? Why we like Tomlinson as a player but have to wonder about the price tag and now that Shamar Stephen's become a cap casualty, who's next up on the DLine? Does Danielle Hunter's social media mean anything? Plus the Bears signed Andy Dalton and while your podcast hosts can laugh at them, Vikings fans can't look down upon the sorry Bears. And fan questions, including about Mackensie Alexander's potential return.

Am zweiten offiziellen Tag der NFL Free Agency ist die Flut nach Nachrichten ziemlich abgeflaut. Richtig von sich reden haben die Los Angeles Rams gemacht. Sie haben sich von Running Back Todd Gurley getrennt, nachdem sie kein Tradepartner für ihn gefunden haben. Auch Linebacker Clay Matthews musste gehen. Einen richtig guten Deal haben auch die Philadelphia Eagles gemacht. Sie haben sich den Cornerback Darius Slay per Trade von den Detroit Lions geholt und haben dafür einen Dritt- und Fünftrundenpick zurückgeschickt. Dieser Move hatte sich nach dem Trade der Lions für Defensive Back Duron Harmon angedeutet. Patrick Rebien (@PatrickRebien) redet mit Moritz May (Touchdown24) und Sebastian Mühlenhof (@Seppmaster56) auch über die Cleveland Browns und ihre Signings. Zudem haben auch die New Orleans Saints an ihrem Kader gebastelt und mehr Cap Space geschaffen. Euch gefällt dieser Podcast oder ihr habt Kritik, Fragen oder Anregungen?

Die Green Bay Packers haben etwas überraschend die NFC North gewonnen und konnten sich sogar ein First Round Bye in den Playoffs erkämpfen. Dabei spielten sich vor allem Rookie Head Coach Matt LaFleur und Star-Quarterback Aaron Rodgers ein, was die Fans auf mehr hoffen lässt. Auch den Sprung in die Playoffs haben die Minnesota Vikings geschafft. Dem Team mit dem wenigsten Cap Space aller Franchises ist dennoch erneut nicht der erhoffte Einzug in den Super Bowl gelungen. Das Fenster schließt sich aber zunehmend, sodass die Vikings weiterhin All-In gehen müssen. Sebastian Mühlenhof (@Seppmaster56) analysiert mit Florian Schmitt (@Flosch1006) auch die anderen beiden Teams in der Division. Während es bei den Chicago Bears immer mehr danach aussieht, dass Quarterback Mitch Trubisky nicht die Ansprüche erfüllt, hatten die Detroit Lions Verletzungspech auf der wichtigsten Position.

  Vikings vs the Offseason… Good morning Horners! The Good Morning Gjallarhorn gang is back after the week off to mourn the 2019 Vikings season. Ted, Drew and Dave discuss the holes to fill in the 2020 version of your Minnesota Vikings, and there are a lot. We also discussed the salary cap situation, and coaches that have left the team.  From key players on defense like Anthony Harris, starters like Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander. backups like Eric Wilson and Stephen Weatherly are all due to be free agents. The offense fairs only a little better with CJ Ham being the only “starter” as free agent but swing tackle Rashod Hill and other backups are at the end of their contracts too. Then there is the specialists, Dan Bailey and Britton Colquitt, both needing new contracts or walking to other teams. All of this with the Vikings already approximately $10 million over the cap. Huge decisions to free up money are on the horizon. How would you go about it? Which veterans get cut to make space?  Drew asks us how would we sell the Vikings 2020 to fans and investors. What do we have to look forward to? Mike Zimmer has a good winning percentage, the offense got better, and of course there’s the traditions. Either way, this offseason will be a huge challenge and key to organization staying on or near the top, or failing and heading to a rebuild and new faces.  Like, subscribe, and rate us on your favorite podcast aggregator.

It's Week 7 and our Minnesota Vikings are preparing for their final divisional road game. They head to Detroit to try to win their first divisional game after losing in Green Bay and Chicago. A tough one but thankfully, they're heating up. Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, Eric Kendricks, Anthony Barr, Mackensie Alexander and Anthony Harris are ALL making plays for a Vikings defense that's starting to consistently display and elite form. The kicking game with Dan Bailey and the rest of the Special Teams issues looks solve. Crossing our fingers here. Kirk Cousins looks great, taking his play to a new level. That doesn't mean Kirk can do it all, but the Vikings can go far if he keeps it up with all the versatility at his fingertips. Gary Kubiak and Kevin Stefanski have all the weapons clicking. They can use Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook, Alex Mattison, Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith Jr. with confidence. So what makes the most sense for Detroit? This is a Dalvin Cook game. Maybe Irv Smith Jr. can break out too. Quick injury updates: Riley Reiff and Ben Gedeon should be monitored this week. Josh Kline will hopefully be back for Week 7 after missing the game against Philadelphia. Other Good Games: Saints at Bears Ravens at Seahawks Eagles at Cowboys But the main event is Minnesota at Detroit. Need the corner backs to show up for this one! Skol Vikes.

There's five count 'em FIVE big games in the NFL this weekend, and all four NFC North teams will be going at it. The Green Bay Packers play the Philadelphia Eagles in a game we hope ends in a tie. The Dallas Cowboys play the New Orleans Saints so we can cry about Teddy Bridgewater on Sunday Night. The Detroit Lions host the Kansas City Chiefs and reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes. The New England Patriots travel to upstate New York to Play the 3-0 Buffalo Bills. Our Minnesota Vikings play the Chicago Bears in a huge divisional clash. This week presents a huge opportunity for our Vikes to move up in the NFC standings. And they're healthy for it, after getting back Pat Elflein and Mike Hughes Week 3. Anthony Barr and Mackensie Alexander could be back too. Josh Kline was the only Viking to miss Wednesday practice due his concussion. Chad Beebe got hurt, but the Vikings brought back Marcus Sherels or Laquon Treadwell to replace him. Maybe Jordan Matthews would have been better? On offense, Irv Smith Jr, Kirk Cousins and Brian O'Neill are all streaking. We've gotta love how O'Neill is developing, even though he's got a tough match-up coming up against Khalil Mack. We're not sure yet about Garrett Bradbury, and we're hoping Akiem Hicks doesn't play. On defense, the more Sack Daddy the better. Throw in Danielle Hunter too. They've got to lead the way to victory against Charles Leno. And you know what? Can we please get some more Eric Wilson? Let him chase down Tarik Cohen and David Montgomery. Minnesota has a huge opportunity to strike back in the NFC North. 3-1 or 2-2 will look very different early on. All they need is their best players to STEP UP. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our Minnesota Vikings played a great game against Atlanta in Week 1. But we didn't see everything we needed to for full buy-in. Week 2 could change all that. They just need to win against Green Bay.  Here's how the injury report looks: Stefon Diggs is back in full health, but Anthony may have a knee issue. Mackensie Alexander and Pat Elflein both missed Wednesday's practice. They should be monitored this week. Mike Hughes was limited, which is encouraging. It's good to have Brett Jones back and I see early optimism for Irv Smith Jr. Key players in Week 2: - Dalvin Cook showed all the promise in Week 1, and he'll need to factor into the passing game too, with Blake Martinez covering him. - Kyle Rudolph didn't do much against Atlanta. Can he win, going against the strong Adrian Amos? - Anthony Harris flashed again and brings a new element to the Minnesota defense. We can focus on how he plays, battling Green Bay's Jimmy Graham. - Trae Waynes quietly had a bad coverage game at US Bank Stadium. Let's hope Marques Valdez-Scantling isn't a problem. We close with my thoughts on Saints at Rams: The No-Call Rematch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After covering the offense last week, Flipmazzi turns his attention to the defense: The craziness of Antonio Brown and the second episode of Hard Knocks Why is Kaare Vedvik here? We should be sick of all the regression talk circling Mike Zimmer's defense. Youth is always where the Zim Reapers have found their edge. Anthony Barr, Xavier Rhodes, Danielle Hunter and Trae Waynes are great examples. Anthony Harris arrived last year after glimpses of solid play in his four year career. Stephen Weatherly gave Minnesota a needed lift in Everson Griffen's absence. Eric Wilson played in a bunch of games last year and the dropoff between him and Eric Kendricks is shrinking. Mackensie Alexander, a lot of people gave up on him, but now he solidifies the cornerback group. Zimmer's staff develops these guys again and again and again. And if you want to bet against the unproven youth in 2019, have fun! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode: What does a typical day at Training Camp look like? “TCO is like a college campus just for football.” Offensive installation was exclusively under center for the 1st four days of practice More specialized drills on special teams. How has the offense looked? More play action. Moving the pocket. Sideline pass to Stefon Diggs has become a daily occurrence. How has the defense looked? Started slow. Dominant after Zimmer’s callout How does the offensive line look? Josh Kline has been one of the biggest surprises of training camp. “Josh Kline has been outstanding.” They’ve been getting to the second level of the defense consistently. Dalvin Cook looks great in this scheme. How has the offensive line held up in pass blocking? Pass blocking has been more of a mixed bag. Brian O’Neill has done a great job staying in front of Danielle Hunter. Ameer Abdullah stepping up in pass protection. How does our depth look? Ifeadi Odenigbo is a dark horse. Jaleel Johnson has looked good so filling in for Linval Johnson Jalyn Holmes and Hercules Mata'afa rotating and looking decent. Chad Beebe is WR3 Wide receiver depth is scary thin. Is Laquon Treadwell going to make the team? Olabisi Johnson starting to emerge. Is this the end for Kyle Sloter? How do Udoh and Samia look? Deepest tight end group in the NFL Kirk Cousins to Kyle Rudolph connection developing Irv Smith has been moved all over the formation How nervous should we be about this kicker news? Matt Wile has looked great. Field goal platoon has not been finalized. Mackensie Alexander and Jayron Kearse stepping up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We take the top off the defense today talking NFL Draft wide receivers with resident WR film guru Brad Kelly (@BradKelly17) of The Draft Network. The Vikes could use some WR3 help and Brad has a few names the Purple faithful should keep an eye on throughout the draft. Plus we chime in on Adam Thielen looking for an extension, Mackensie Alexander does something awesome, and hall of fame safety Paul Krause's career interception record will NEVER be broken.  All that and more "Team Deebo" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Good morning Horners! The possibility of the Minnesota Vikings throwing a 50 burger against the Detroit Lions this Sunday may seem ridiculous, but that is exactly what Dave is calling for. The old men, Ted Glover, Drew Bunting, and Dave Stefano discussed the possibility in this episode of GMG. Ted rejoins us after taking time out for a little champagne tasting to discuss the beautiful victory over the Miami Dolphins last week. The awesome defensive play there resulted in 9 sacks and shutting down the Fins after a giveaway touchdown and a fluky explosive run. Comments were made on the differences seen in playcalling by Kevin Stefanski versus John DeFilippo and how the offense was more productive than it had been in a while. There was still the angst over Kirk Cousins and his seemingly one or two bad plays a game that results in points for the other team. If the Vikings are getting hot this time of the season, not only on the defense but on the offense, if those mistakes are eliminated going into the playoffs, the possibilities can actually be super. Consistency in the maximizing of assets in playcalling will have any opponent not wanting to play the Vikings. The depth on the defense has shown it’s worth so far this season with outstanding play by not only Anthony Harris but with Mackensie Alexander really starting to step up his game, along with Holton Hill proving to be the best undrafted rookie free agent signing probably since Adam Thielen. Drew runs Dave and Ted through another round of Way or No Way. There are some interesting questions about the dynamic duo of Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, Kyle Rudolph’s performance, and another that leads to that 50 burger prediction. From our lips to Odin’s ears let’s all hope it is so! How would you have answered those questions? Please post below. We are interested to hear what you think.

The Minnesota Vikings opened up training camp on Saturday with the full roster. Listen to Adam Thielen's thoughts on adapting to a new quarterback and on rookie CB Mike Hughes. Also Riley Reiff talked about bonding following the loss of Tony Sparano and Mackensie Alexander went into great detail about his struggles to adapt to nickel corner last year.

This is a special podcast taped at a party we held on Super Bowl Saturday in Minneapolis from our offices overlooking US Bank Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LII held the next day between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles. My guests were two retired NFL players, Jack Brewer and Sergio Brown, and current NFL player Mackensie Alexander. The three players talked about what it’s like to play in the NFL, including their experiences with two of the greatest coaches of all time, Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin, and their lives outside football. It is an amazing conversation unlike any you may have ever heard from professional athletes that will give you insight into what it takes to get to that level and how they apply those same skills to a life beyond football. There are lessons in the conversation for anyone and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did in hosting it.

Matthew Coller and Judd Zulgad break down the Minnesota Vikings' win in Washington. The good and bad of Case Keenum's four-touchdown, two-interception day. Also - another example of how the Vikings' front office did a great job building depth on offense. How they missed Everson Griffen on defense and the development of Mackensie Alexander.

Matthew Coller joined Mackey and Judd to discuss Mike Zimmer's recent comments praising cornerback Mackensie Alexander and receiver Laquon Treadwell. Both had rough rookie seasons, but the Vikings' head coach says they are on the right path in OTAs. Should we believe in in their progress or is this just typical offseason hype?

The newest class of Minnesota Fightin' Vikings rookies are in the building this weekend for rookie mini-camp. Draft picks, undrafted free agents, and tryout players alike will try to climb the mountain of making the Vikings 53-man roster (remember, John Randle was a tryout/UDFA), in what could be the most competitive offseason in team history. There is talent everywhere. Today we run through a few of the rookies and forecast what their present and future roles could be in Purple. Beyond the headliners in wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and cornerback Mackensie Alexander, there are a number of interesting names who can bring something to the Vikings' table. All that and other "Chewbacca was a Rookie" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.

Mays and Mallory make sense of the Rams-Titans trade involving the no. 1 pick, discuss prospect of the week Emmanuel Ogbah, break down the top DB's, make their case for Mackensie Alexander, and wrap it up with a mailbag.

We talk briefly about the win over Virginia Tech and focus primarily on Miami's big game coming up against No. 6 Clemson, which has national title aspirations led by standout quarterback Deshaun Watson and we speak about what makes Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander great. Also, what will the Miami offense need to do to be effective? Can the Hurricanes led by Joseph Yearby run the ball? And Artie Burns, along with other NFL Draft hopefuls, has an opportunity to shine on the big stage against a talented team that will give Miami big troubles if they are unable to correct previous issues.
