Mailbag Questions

Kyle Slaybee - Was the Weatherly trade made more as a result of Everson's play or Weatherly's? Is the Head Coach of the 2022 Minnesota Vikings going to be coaching Sunday Night for either team?
Jeremy McGee - With a non-turnstile option at left tackle, do we expect a change in playcalling? Will younger Kubiak potentially call longer-developing plays and take more deep shots if Darrisaw continues to play well?
Jack Rackham - When facing a team like Dallas that has dynamic ability through the air and on the ground, do teams try to stop both attacks? Or do they generally pick one or the other to shut down?
John Belk - If the Dolphins actually trade for Watson, should the Vikings try to trade for Tua as a QBOTF flier? If so, how much would you be willing to give up?
Jakob Wander - On a scale of 1 to Butt Fumble, how funny is it that Marcus Williams didn't learn his lesson from the Minneapolis Miracle and did the exact same thing on the DK Metcalf touchdown?
Arif's Neglected Resistance Bands - Exactly how much merch would I have to buy for Arif to acknowledge me?
Rosh-is-star-pupil - What gets brought up more: Herschel Walker trade or 91' blizzard?
Ryan Mennsen - Could the Vikings benefit from specialized coaches like the English Premier League uses (set-piece coaches, throw-in coaches)? Perhaps a "2nd and long coach"?
Luke Braun - Are the Vikings the most corporate team in the NFL? Does any franchise have less soul?
Damian Barrett - Time for Arif to finally denounce candy corn for the trash it is and call out his hypocrisy
Christmas visitor - Should I buy tickets for the Rams game now or wait for price/availability changes?
Nolan Kehler - Did Derrick Henry throw a touchdown pass solely to boost his MVP odds? Was releasing Weatherly just a cap move to sign Willie Jefferson?
Bishop Sycamore Alumnist - What excuse can I use to justify watching the game during Halloween festivities over decorating the in-laws Christmas tree?
Don from Ohio - Which member of Vikings Twitter will have the worst Halloween pun during the game Sunday night?
Manuel - Do you reckon the queen could identify Mario? Like if you showed the queen a picture of Mario, would she be able to say "that's Mario"?
Ewan Dewer - What is the food with the most intense mouthfeel? (excluding dangerous items)
Dr. Aron Matson - If there were a "Norse Code Papers" scandal, what would it reveal? What dumb rebranding name would you choose?
Stevie - My daughter wants to eat turkey as a birthday gift. Should she spend the birthday at the fire station?
