Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Nathan - With Doctson going to the IR do you think the Vikings will utilize Irv Smith more as a receiver than a blocker?
- Tanner - Any insight into why Doctson was placed on IR? This seems very surprising since most of us fans were hoping/expecting him to make an impact as early as possible.
- Luke Braun - Is Hercules the primary pass rushing DT now? Stephen's obviously the run stuffer but is Herc the guy on like 3rd downs?
- Kenneth Allen - Given that the Packers' defense is officially spooky, are you more worried about their run defense (especially given the emphasis on the run) or their pass defense? If you could take one player off the Packers' defense and put them on the Vikings, who is it? Jaire Alexander?
- ZenCupid - Who is the most "for the LOLs" guy to replace Docston with and why?
- Bubka - Has Rodgers lost a significant amount of arm strength and should we expect his accuracy issue from last week to carry over?
- Eddie the Dog - if the vikings need to put kris boyd on the field, is there anything the vikings can do scheme-wise to protect him from being entirely exposed by rodgers?
- Kyle Slaybee - If Adams goes into the slot do you have Kearse cover with a safety over top or do you have EX-avier travel with him and put Kearse outside or bring in Boyd. Is Rodgers still a major threat when he breaks the pocket or have the injuries impacted his throwing success (whether mentally from fear of further injury or physically from old age and damage) Is it better to aggressively rush or take a rope-a-dope strategy?
- Ian Pauli - What is a potential mismatch to watch for this week that favors the Vikings? And what about the other way around?
- Caleb - Do you think Elflein will be benched at some point this season?
- Mike Ellis - Here's one my son asked me when he was young - if you had to give up ice cream, beer or pizza, which one would you choose? Even tougher, make it frozen desserts, alcohol or pizza.
- Don From Ohio - Dear Arif: your cohort on this podcast is getting married next month and asks you to cater it. He's supplying the meat but you must make the rest of the menu. What seasonings do you use to cook human flesh and what side dishes do you recommend to go with it?
