Mailbag Questions

[edit]
  • El Presidente - What other extreme actions can Vikings fans take to support their favorite Vikings players, referencing the viral video of a fan shaving his eyebrows for Joshua Dobbs?
  • 50 years vikings fan - Do the Saints put a spy on Dobbs and open the middle of the field?
  • Joe Glicek - For Arif's playbook corner: How different will KOC's play calling be with a week of reps under Dobbs' belt?
  • Kevin Sayer - How sustainable is the blitzing? Is Flores doing it due to lack of pass rush outside Hunter or do our players lend themselves well to this scheme?
  • CharlesWrites - Will Dobbs and Hall's tendency towards more pocket movement than Cousins spur changes to the passing game plan?
  • Captain Rhyme - How do we rank Vikings' rivalries now that Payton isn't in New Orleans & the Lions are good?
  • Iowa josh - Is this a repeat of the Baker Mayfield game where he won then studied the playbook and got worse?
  • Cade - For Arif's Matthew Hopkins Corner: Has KOC done enough to spur the eye of the Witchfinder General based on 2022 and the Falcons game?
  • Skol Troll - Is Arif considering a cease-and-desist towards DrawPlayDave artwork?
