Mailbag Questions

[edit]
  • Luke Braun - Rank the quality of revenge games: Jayron Kearse, Adrian Peterson, Riley Reiff, Ameer Abdullah, Everson Griffen, Justin Coleman
  • Chris - As the defense settles in, how justified was Zimmer in taking corners as high as they have considering success with late round picks and practice squad players?
  • Eli - With solid OL play and cohesiveness, would you leave things as they are even if Elflein comes back healthy?
  • Nick Howard - Can you break down the 2 blocks from Sunday's game and the missed XP?
  • Raul - Is intelligence the most overlooked talent in scouting? Can intelligence be accurately projected?
  • Discussion of Dalvin Cook checkdowns and their effectiveness
  • Steezo - Do the Vikings need to add more DL talent if Hunter and Pierce return in 2019 form?
  • Beef Brewski - Could Cook be so good he undermines the "Don't pay RBs" principle?
  • Ryan - Why is C.J. Ham ranked poorly by PFF despite being effective?
  • Kyle Slaybee - Can you name any defenses doing more with less than Zimmer's unit?
  • Marc Ward - Is this the season with the most missed XPs?
