If you could script the 2022 Minnesota Vikings season, would you have K.J. Osborn take another leap in his performance and skill? Is he capable of becoming a true wide receiver 2 in quality and production? How will the Kevin O'Connell offense use him? Will that make the difference? We hear about the Cooper Kupp role and how Justin Jefferson would be perfect for it. However, is there another way to divide that up to use both Jefferson and Osborn to their strengths and get even more production? There is an argument that says yes. The Vikings have continued to look for a solid punt returner. They haven't had one since Marcus Sherels who was one of the best in Vikings history. Punt returning is one of the most difficult positions on the team. The ability to track a football that is spinning and tumbling in various trajectories, all while players bear down on you at full speed. After you catch that ball with little space, you need to decide in a split second what course of action to take so as not to get tackled. Who will that be in 2022? Jalen Nailor confirmed this week that he is competing for that position. Who else is in the competition? Who do you think will take this crucial spot on the team? Speaking of snap decisions having to be made just like a punt returner, Darren and Dave will roll through some quick questions and answers. The question is coming in at you like a punt that is fluttering and the wind is moving it. Make your decision quickly as your Vikings and fans are counting on you.   Darren Campbell and David Stefano are the Two Old Bloggers. Both started their public commentary on the Vikings two decades ago on various blogs. They now do it via live streams on YouTube and Facebook. We appreciate your team fandom and that you take the time to enjoy it with us. Here are the themes for the show: Theme #1 – Can K.J.

Matthew Coller and Sam Ekstrom are joined by ESPN's Courtney Cronin to talk about the beginning of Vikings OTAs, which will be open to the media one day next week. What will we be looking for when reporters get a look at (presumably) the full roster. Will Danielle Hunter show up? Courtney thinks he will. Plus one UDFA who might be interesting in the receiver group and how we'll judge Kellen Mond's OTA practices.

Matthew Coller and Sam Ekstrom of Zone Coverage talk attempt a hardcore breakdown of Vikings and Saints but it doesn't last very long as they quickly dive into what would happen if the Vikings come up way short against New Orleans and whether that would dial up the pressure on the Vikings' coach and quarterback. Plus whether we'll learn this week if the Vikings' offense is actually good or if it's been a product of the schedule.

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.

Adam and Tyler preview the Thursday night football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins. They also went over Adam Thielen being ruled out, Marcus Sherels being let go, and Sam Darnold seeing ghosts.

Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin starts the hour off with the guys. Minnesota Twins President Dave St. Peter joins the show later in the hour. You'll also hear from Vikings Stephen Weatherly, Brett Jones and Marcus Sherels.  

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.

Detroit Lions Off-season Review: Will losing Ziggy Ansah and Kerry Hyder matter? Can the additions of Trey Flowers, Justin Coleman, and Mike Daniels propel the Lions' defense to new heights? Will TJ Hockenson, Danny Amendola, Jesse James, and CJ Anderson revitalize a stagnant offense? Is year 2 under Matt Patricia the year everything comes together for a playoff push? Chicago Bears Off-season Review: Will losing Bryce Callahan and Adrian Amos, the QB of the defense, make a difference? Can HaHa Clinton-Dix, and Buster Skrine step up? Can Chuck Pagano replace Vic Fangio and retain similar defensive success from 2018? Can David Montgomery replace Jordan Howard? Will Trubisky prove his doubters wrong, or was he helped tremendously from a great defense in 2018? Green Bay Packers Off-season Review: With so much turnover on defense (Losing HaHa Clinton-Dix, Clay Matthews, Nick Perry, Muhammad Wilkerson, Mike Daniels), can Green Bay see significant success defensively? Will their additions in Rashan Gary, Darnell Savage, Adrian Amos, Za'Darrius Smith, Preston Smith step up to the challenge and dominate? Can rookies Elgton Jenkins, Jace Sternberger, Ty Summers make a meaningful impact? Can Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers get along well enough to succeed on offense? With no preseason game experience, how will week 1 go? Minnesota Vikings Off-season Review: Will losing two starters in Sheldon Richardson and Andrew Sendejo hamper the Vikings defense? Will losing long-time punt returner Marcus Sherels be the biggest mistake of the off-season? Can FA pickup Josh Kline and first round draft pick Garrett Bradbury revitalize a struggling Minnesota Moving Company? Can a healthy Dalvin Cook and newly drafted TE Irv Smith Jr. provide enough weapons to be dangerous on offense? Will Kirk Cousins turn it up another notch in year 2?

This week Adam and Tyler discuss the Vikings win over the Miami Dolphins and deep dive the offensive explosion in Kevin Stefanski's first game as OC. They talk Dalvin Cook and his impressive performance, Kirk Cousins, shotgun vs under center, break down the NFC playoff picture and possible matchups for the Vikings, talk about the ageless Marcus Sherels, and very cautiously preview the Lions game coming up this week.

The Twin Cities Sports Leader

This week Adam and Tyler discuss the first few days of Vikings training camp, talk about the new offensive line coach set-up and subsequent tight end coaching change, Mike Tice being a reported possibility for that job, Pat Elflein on the PUP, the shuffling of offensive lineman, Rashod Hill's illness, Stacy Coley missing time due to a groin issue, Dalvin Cook looking impressive, Barr working on his pass rushing technique, Holton Hill continues to stand out, the possibility of Marcus Sherels making the team again, the kicking competition and Randy Moss heading into the Hall of Fame.

This week on Bleeding Purple podcast, Adam and Tyler discuss the Vikings new WR Kendall Wright and where that leaves Laquan Treadwell, the resigning of Marcus Sherels, Terrence Newman contract talks, Marquette King vs Ryan Quigley, the new NFL helmet lowering rule, and giving up pinky toes and fingers in exchange for Vikings Super Bowl wins

When we heard that center Pat Elflein would be ruled out for the game, your host knew the Vikings were in trouble. What has been the biggest difference from last year to this year? Pass protection and run blocking, both of which were questionable at best, especially when team MVP Riley Reiff was carted off when an apparent ankle injury. It felt like the whole team was off throughout the game as Theilen was dropping easy catches, the run defense had major gaffs, giving up two 60 yard runs, and even Marcus Sherels nearly lost a fumble on the return.

Mike Zimmer and the Minnesota Vikings continue their dominance over every preseason foe put in front of them...

The Minnesota Vikings topped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-16 Saturday at The Sauna... I mean The Bank. Mike Zimmer extends his career head coaching preseason record to a robust 6-0, but it came at a price as veteran road-grading right tackle Phil Loadholt was lost for the season with a torn achilles. The much maligned offensive line now has a new set of obstacles. Who's gonna step up? TJ Clemmings? Austin Shepherd? Babs? (Not Babs)We dig into the NEW problematic offensive tackle position for the Vikings as well as touch on other "Not-so Famous Jameis" talking points on today's recap show.Other "Get well soon, Uncle Phil" Talkers Include• MIKE ZIMMER IS STILL UNDEFEATED IN THE PRESEASON• The Dogra Bowl – Welcome back Leslie Frazier• Phil Loadholt done for the year, career as a Viking?• Will TJ Clemmings step up?• Matt Kalil said football is fun again• Teddy looked sharp & in command• Was it Zach Line's birthday?• McKINNON MAY NEVER SCORE AN NFL TD• WTF, Cordarrelle?• Stefon Diggs is a lot of fun to watch• Blanton is going to start, but it's close• Marcus Sherels is under-appreciated.

The Hall of Fame Game went down Sunday night in Canton, Ohio. Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings came out on top of the Pittsburgh Steelers 14-3 in a game that quenched the collective thirst of a the football world, even though it featured no Adrian Peterson or Ben Roethlisberger and something-calle Landry Jones played the whole darn game.

Josh Freeman debuted with the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, and was an absolute mess. Oh and the Vikings defense, O-line, and even Adrian Peterson struggled beyond belief.
