at this moment, the vikings have one opening available on the 53-man roster, and one on the 16-man practice squad....

Vikings have signed OLB Benton Whitley to the active roster.

6'4", 260-pound 2021 UDFA from Holy Cross who has spent time with the Rams and Chiefs.

A traditional LB heavier than 235 pounds? Blasphemy!

People expecting OBJ…c’mon. The Vikings have zero cap space and the dude tore his ACL eight months ago.

Can't think of a dumber move ... when compared to IOL or secondary help.

We have Jefferson, Theilen, Osborn, Reagor,...

What good would OBJ do?

I agree, stupid

I think we're pushing along a good apple cart. I don't want to spill it.

Probably coming from Kwesi who likes the way acb ties in with 123 but I worry about chemistry.

We don't have coin or the need.

For both of you... who the F is he?

Do you believe he is a legit source, or are you just repeating tweets w/o any encumbrances?

(unless he was desperate for a prove it year to set up next contract)

However, I'm concerned about the number of plays I've seen where nobody is open.

Dolphins/Eagles seem to have little trouble focusing on taking JJ out and Thielen/KJ/Irv can't seem to get separation.

Seems like refs are letting secondary play more physical this year.

Dallas/Bills will tell us everything.

My guess is offense is going to have to score a lot to win those games.

The flipped record is the result in good planning, attention to detail, and culture.

He can put himself in contention for COY the next leg here if we can have respectable outings against Dallas and Buffalo and split those games...while continuing to win like we have.

I'm really interested in what KOC focuses on in the getting better dept. We're doing so well in a lot of the little things that matter...

LOL per bolded, the problem there is the opponents will be better so winning like we have is a non-starter.

Is there even such a thing as COY? Maybe the CFL has that. Still, sort of agree fundamentally. Like penalties are elite as we are #2, which is amazing. IMO that is directly tied to buy-in and perhaps good coaching. Could be a honeymoon phase though.
