Mailbag Questions
[edit]Ngakoue Trade Questions:
- Geoff Johnson - Is the trade good and if so how good on a goodness scale?
- Olly - Do the Jags know that Vikings players don't get selected for the Pro Bowl? They only get in as alternates
- A Different James - Are we kicking Odenigbo inside? He's been productive from DT in the past
- Timothy - Analytics suggest he may be overrated and benefited from team around him. How much is there to that?
- Dr. Lawson - Will the Vikings let him rush from a 2 point stance?
- Magnus - Is chemistry between DEs a thing? Do certain styles match up better?
- Ojibwe Pun - Compare it to the Jared Allen trade
- Ryan - Where does this take the defense as a whole assuming Hunter isn't out long? Top 10 defense?
- Rattleclaw - Any realistic scenario where Vikings retain both Harris and Ngakoue after this year?
- Ian Pauli - How does pass rush help a young secondary beyond mitigating mistakes?
- Don from Ohio - Will Vikings offer both Ngakoue and Hunter same contract to keep them happy?
- Dusty - Best Yannick Ngakoue anagram? "Kink Nuance Yoga"
General Mailbag:
- VikingAfterDark - Bigger asset: losing Diggs and adding Ngakoue, or keeping Diggs and roster as is?
- Bryan Jellerson - Why are Vikings good at acquiring defensive talent but not offensive talent through FA/trades?
- Tampa Bay Vipers 4 Life - Who has looked best at backup QB? Will they carry 2 or 3 QBs?
- Josh - Is Ezra Cleveland staying at guard? Is LT still a need? Also, how early is too early for Halloween movies?
- Eli - Excited about Gladney/Dantzler parity but bracing for disappointment. Also, how to cook beets?
- Zach Kasin - Concerned about interior line. Chance Vikings improve there?
- Swervin Surevin - Kamado smoker recommendations after trying various meats
- Kurt - Long story about intentionally saying "bless you" to wife's coughs for over a year as prank
