NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Monday morning that the Vikings are bringing in renowned epidemiologist and infectious disease expert Dr. Michael Osterholm to speak to the team today, per sources informed of the situation.

Minnesota's vaccination rate among players has lagged behind other NFL teams. Quarterback Kirk Cousins is among the most high-profile players in the NFL not to be vaccinated. Minnesota's QB room has already dealt with missing time due to a COVID-19 case for rookie Kellen Mond.

Coach Mike Zimmer has been vocal about his frustration regarding his team's status related to the vaccine.

Players like Cousins have repeatedly stated that they are doing their own research regarding the vaccine. To aid that process, the Vikings will bring in an expert to talk to the players in hopes of convincing the holdouts that the vaccine is safe and will help the team better navigate the 2021 season without restrictions that come from not getting the shot.

Probably be better off bringing in multiple high level religious leaders that also think vaccines are a good idea.

Its obvious that science isn't enough.

I wonder if Kirky ever got the normal vaccines as a child?

His father appears to be quite a wacko.

Not getting vaccines works great, provided everybody else in the world does get them.

I didn't know there was chapter in the Bible on Covid-19.

This won’t change anything. Osterholm know more about viruses than perhaps any living human. And dunces like Cousins will sit and stare at him and still think they know better.

Just more proof in my pro/ con column that Cousins is an Albatross around the franchise neck…

How? Who weren't we able to sign this year? There still is money for an Olineman or a better 2nd QB; they have put almost all FA$$$ toward the Defense.

Next year is the cap crippler regarding Cousins @ 45ml. They kicked the can down the road so they had some cap room but next year is without a doubt an albatross.

I think this year is his last with the Vikings. We can't continue on with him and his outrageous contract.

Quote from my son on Griff deal:

If we let a promising young guy walk to make room for Grif, I will be. So. Pissed.

Marcus Epps 2.0....

Agreed. but which promising young guy are you worried about losing?

That was my thought too. We have promising young defensive linemen? Who would that be?

Griffin had 6 sacks last year in limited time. That would have led the Vikings. It’s a good pickup.

We covered our bases by IRing Robinson.

Locks are:
Hunter
Griffen
Wonnum
Weatherly
Jones

Outside chance if we keep 6 DEs: Holmes or Willekes

i knew griffen was a done deal....

now it's time to implement the next detail - sign sendejo....

we're putting the band back together, baby...we need a thumber for our triple-safety sets - especially since barr is a mystery....

Watch highlights of practically any other team with hopes of, or who are, perennial contenders.

Their QB, does not force the OL to hold blocks for extended times because they scan and release or throw to spots on timing, quickly.

I swear, watching Our passing offense is cringeworthy, every… single.. time…

I can lose my voice over the course of a game.. screaming.. THROW IT.. FN THROW IT…GD IT THROW THE DAMN THING ALREADY..

nope.. sack..or late, almost picked, contested throw, or circus, catch

Watching Zimmer’s offense try to execute a hurry up or Long yardage offense is so frustrating..

Throw Past the LOS or Yard markers..

The 3 yard check down it DRILLED into every QB that plays For Zimmer…

I am moving Zimmer out of the Good coach column, into the “Yeesh” column, with Childress, Tice, Frazier.

It been 20 years since Dennis Gren exploded in a self destructive mode.

Twenty… years ……

Mike Zimmer wants the passing offense to push the ball downfield more. “If you’re going to throw 5-yard check downs, it’s going to take 20 of them.”

quote:

ORIGINAL: TJSweens

You do get that our IOL, last year, was one of the worst at giving its QB time to throw. Cousins holds it too long from time to time (and often at bad times), but let's not pretend he consistently has ample time to throw if he would only just unload the damn ball.

Rogers 2.71

Rodgers is an outlier because often times the officials let his line hold like crazy and he'll sit back there forever. Most times though he gets rid of it really quick.
