  • Luke Braun - Rank the quality of revenge games: Jayron Kearse, Adrian Peterson, Riley Reiff, Ameer Abdullah, Everson Griffen, Justin Coleman
  • Chris - As the defense settles in, how justified was Zimmer in taking corners as high as they have considering success with late round picks and practice squad players?

  • Discussion of Dalvin Cook checkdowns and their effectiveness
  • Steezo - Do the Vikings need to add more DL talent if Hunter and Pierce return in 2019 form?
