Mailbag Questions

HVAC repairman - what would have to happen for the vikings to go 1-15
Adam West - How confident are we that Elfleins 100% for week 1? Edison looks like he will get in our own way from time to time each game
Hunter Magniss - What's your way too early prediction for wr depth chart?
Zencupid - Are Hunter's arms even BIGGER this year!? I about did a spit take when the camera showed him on the sidelines
Corey Ruegg - Who on our defense are we built around most?
Ian - Who in #VikingsTwitter has the worst food takes?
Kenneth Allen - Am I crazy or does Sloter put his whole body into throws? Does he have good mechanics?
DonfromOhio - Any reason why the Vikings are not using Kyle Sloter correctly? I know it is only 1 preseason game but there was no reason for him not to have had 12 TDs on Saturday.... minimum.
Bryan Borgan - Last year we (I) made the assertion that Case Keenum was to Quarterbacking as Turkey was to Entree meats. So my question is this. Arif, based off what you've seen in camp, what meat or overall meal would Kirk Cousins be? I think of him kind of like a chain restaurant (applebees) steak. Much better than most people want to admit, but hes no Porterhouse.
Kyle Slaybee - If the Vikings were the subject of Hardknocks this year, which player would get a full 10 minute segment to explain misguided financial advice?
Kyle Slaybee - Gregg Williams & a diehard "38-7" Eagles fan are hanging out with @DonFromOhio in his RV. Suddenly, said RV is pulled into a blackhole. Luckily for them, you have the tech to save one person. All three people hold a serum to permanently protect Teddy from injury. Who gets saved?

Key Bits & Lore

Don from Ohio appears as both Patreon supporter and mailbag questioner with characteristic Kyle Sloter hyperbole
