Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Chris - Is what's happening with all the coaches more of a mutiny or a jailbreak?
- Anonymous - Do you think it's more important to find a solution to the Griffin (free agent) and 3 tech (don't have one) or Rieff (cost) and Elflein (terrible) combination?
- Michael - '09, '15, '17, and '19. Looking back in ten years, which one of these heartbreaks is going to hurt the worst?
- Bill Bottke - On what happened in San Francisco regarding Zimmer's quote about emptying their bucket in New Orleans, would you have done anything differently?
- Cain - Do you think the Vikings draft a QB if one they like falls to them?
- Rahul - Despite weak corners this year, the Vikings finished third in coverage rankings by PFF. Does this suggest guard could actually be a bigger draft need than corner?
- Kyle Slaybee - Is this team going to be watchable next year with coaching departures and potential offensive coordinator issues?
- Kirk Lindgren - Do you think a mobile quarterback would have made the Vikings more successful this year?
- Zencupid - Out of the pending restructure/cut candidates (Linval, Reiff, Rhodes, Everson, Shamar), is there one that the Vikings MUST keep?
- Eddie - 1) What's the deal with Mike Hughes's neck? 2) What's a realistic ceiling for a Vikings defense lacking Trae Waynes, Mackensie Alexander, and Anthony Harris next season?
- Don from Ohio - How is Arif doing after JMU and the Seahawks lost in the playoffs on the same weekend? Should the Vikings extend Spielman and Zimmer 3 more years for a rebuild or fire them both? Commentary on Arif's post-loss social media activity and debating habits.
