Mailbag Questions

Kyle Slaybee - Does it concern you that the Vikings may have a better roster than the Saints but the Saints have the three best QBs in this up-coming game?
Was Arif sad that his Seahawks didn't win the division or happy that they got an easier first round matchup as a result?
Nick - I thought Ali Udoh held up rather nicely vs Mack today. Why has he been inactive most of the season and can someone please explain why in the ever living hell Sean Mannion is the back up QB on this team? Good lord did he look lost and scared
John Belk - Could you explain why analytics thinks interior offensive linemen are so relatively low value, and why you're skeptical of that? How does the analytics community feel about Quenton Nelson and the value of that pick?
Luke Braun - You have to stake your life on one of these matchups going well, which do you choose? Rhodes vs Thomas or Reiff vs Cam Jordan
MN Sports and Poli - Agree or disagree? To slow Michael Thomas, the Vikings should press with Rhodes at the line, and double over the top with safety help. Every. Single. Play.
NY Vikes Fan - Do the rumors about Zimmer on the hot-seat, if the team gets blown out, carry any weight? And if so, would that necessarily be the right decision?
Kenneth Allen - Setting aside the probability of it happening or not: what do you think of firing Zimmer and promoting Stefanski?
Rahul - We need a phrase for non-play action, non-roll out ineptitude. While most blame the coaching staff and offensive line for last week in Green Bay, could this ineptitude simply be a limitation in Kirk Cousins that cannot be coached around?
Chris - How mad do you think Saints fans would get if Brees left the game with an injury? Would they petition for a rule change again even if it was clearly his own fault for getting hurt?
A Christmas Meow - Since you talk with so many reporters/Journalist in the NFL, who are your must reads or which people are under the radar that people should check out.
Don from Ohio - Movie moment of the decade discussion (non-Star Wars)
Chase - Fury Road, Lemmons scene from Wolf of Wall Street, Pain and Gain bbq, Social Network hacking scenes
