Mailbag Questions

[edit]
  • Tommy Gunn - How's Teddy Look?
  • Delta BC Dad - Re: Anthony Barr: is it possible his lack of "motor" in 2016 was due to an injury and his taking responsibility for his lack of effort in the press is a combination of humility/youth/not wanting to argue with your coach in public?
  • Raul via Email - Anthony Barr mentioned on NFL Network that he is rushing the passer more in defensive line drills this offseason. In what packages/situations do you see Barr rushing the passer on the defensive line?
  • Nick Olson - What are the Bangladeshi Beefcake's thoughts on extending Trae Waynes vs. Sheldon Richardson?
  • Nathan Holtz - Why do the Vikings refuse to legitimately address the O-line position year after year? Any explanation for addressing Hunter and Kendricks ahead of Barr and Diggs?
  • Young Sheldon (Richardson) - Is pass rusher the second most important position? Does Danielle have the least personality on the team?
  • Scooter - What is the least important position, excluding special teams?
  • Luke Braun - Which World Cup exit is more Vikings-y: Germany getting blown out or Iceland whiffing on a penalty kick against Nigeria?
  • Brian Dunkel - Which Vikings rookie or recently resigned veteran will get injured before camp?
  • DonfromOhio - Should WB sell the DC Universe to Disney? Which of Diggs or Barr would take a team friendly deal? Best carnival food questions.
  • Kyle Slay-bee - Best ways to prep venison? Would you consider a 2019 daily calendar with show quotes? Hypothetical scenario about Arif and Don from Ohio.
