Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Zencupid - Was wondering if this game is the perfect argument for "coverage > pass rush"
- Eli - Who can we goad on twitter on the lions to call out kirk this week?
- Chris - Do you think the conversation around Diggs breakout/stress relief game changes if Kirk targets the somehow even more open Bisi Johnson for the deep touchdown?
- Eddie - Between the saints and the seahawks, who is more likely to bump the vikings out of a wild card slot?
- Mick - Realistically how many bad defenses do we face between now and week 21? Did this game prove the Eagles are just a bad defense or did Kirk prove he's #good?
- Kyle Slaybee - Rank Jake Elliott as a Passer on a scale of Jerrick McKinnon to Josh Freeman
- Eric the Viking - Would the Vikings air attack work if the line didn't play so well?
- James Pope - Danielle Hunter is a stud! What areas of the game can he continue to work on to make him even better!
- John Belk - Question about trading up for quarterbacks and evaluating QB prospects probabilistically
- Damian Barrett - How confident are you that we can maintain momentum against the Lions on Sunday?
- Kenneth Allen - Why does Diggs fall down so often while catching the ball?
- Steezo - From a cap perspective it is likely that we can just keep 1 of Reiff, Linval and Griffen in 2020. Who would you choose?
- Jimmy - Am I an ignorant nincompoop for becoming optimistic about playoff chances?
- Don from Ohio - Can we start a GoFundMe account for Zach Brown to be Kirk Cousins motivational speaker 24/7? Does Arif feel more vindicated by beating me in FFL or Wentz losing to the Vikings?
Key Bits & Lore
[edit]- Don from Ohio appears with multiple questions
- Discussion of Dusty's return being "just the friends we made along the way"
- Reference to CJ Ham's role in the passing offense
