Mailbag Questions
[edit]- John Belk - Given Arif's "a good defense with a smart coordinator is Kirk Kryptonite" take, the Broncos seem like a nightmare matchup. What are you realistically hoping to see from Cousins, and what would your ideal gameplan be? Is this one of the rare times where the hated "play conservative offense and let the defense win games" strategy is appropriate, or is that just never the correct call?
- NY Vikes Fan - Should we be worried about how the offense performs, maybe specifically the O-Line, going against Von Miller and a team that's 6th in Points Against?
- Ian Pauli - Seems like few teams will be as well-versed as Denver with what Kubiak likes to do with his running game. What are some ways he and (more specifically) Stefanski can keep Denver's D on their heels?
- Kenneth Allen - It looks like the Broncos will be starting a rookie QB. How do defenses prepare for a QB with no pro film? Is it just college tape, or are there other, unique ways to prepare?
- @ArifHasanNFL and PFF seem to have very different opinions of the Vikings' cornerbacks, with PFF ranking all three of the starters in the low 50s and in the bottom half of CBs for the year. What explains this difference in opinion, especially given Arif generally likes PFF grades?
- Nathan Atkins - Could Oli Udoh make the switch to LT and someday replace Reiff?
- Jacob Kost - Who's got the worst uniforms in the NFL?
- ZenCupid - Is Pat Elflein's mustache so bad it's good or "good lord that's horrid"?
- Damian Barrett - What does a Dalvin Cook hold out look like, and who blinks first? Cap space will be an issue next year but with Cousins contract up in 2021, do you think he'd wait till then?
- Raul - Who is your favorite Vikings coordinator turned head coach? Billick, Tomlin, Shurmur? Is the real answer Stefanski?
- Kyle Slaybee - Arif needs to run a restaurant for a weekend and @DustyOConnell needs to write an article for the athletic. Who's absence is least noticable?
- DonfromOhio - If I had to choose just one streaming service what should it be? Pureflix> With the debut of Disney Plus what is the most racist movie in Disney history?
