Mailbag Questions

[edit]
  • Candice Hare - After penalties/o-line, what was the next biggest contributor to loss? Suggests overly conservative offensive playcalling
  • Don from Ohio - Would benching Waynes for Brock worsen Trae's confidence or turn on a switch? Is Waynes done? Also asks how long will it take Arif to recover from his devastating fantasy football loss
  • ZenCupid - How often were pressure issues due to O-line vs Keenum holding too long or bailing on a relatively ok pocket?
  • Matt McKeon - Given missed XPs, should Zimmer change kickers, go for 2 all the time, stick with Kai and hope, or join the fantasy league?
  • Austin - What is the maximum amount of consecutively consumed turkey dinners you'd trade for a Vikings Super Bowl win?
  • Mike Raver - Who is doing more fine at the moment, Bradford or Teddy?
  • Ben Glaseman - Is the Case Keenum 13 step drop a new offensive tool or just the expression of a newly arrived apocalypse?
  • Justin King - Seriously, WTF is Aviante Collins still doing on the roster?
  • Matt Beckendoft - Vikings D had 6 turnovers in first 2 games last year, 0 this year. Is lack of turnovers by D concerning?
  • Matt in Wisconsin - It seems like Mack played well; should he start taking snaps from Waynes?
  • John Belk - Does Bradford getting seriously injured after an essentially perfectly protected game more or less guarantee we won't go with him long term if Teddy looks decent?
  • Don from Ohio - If Arif, Dusty O'Connell, bigmono, eric_j_thompson and purplebuckeye had to face Pennywise the clown who gets killed off first? Who survives?
