Grey Zabel should have been a Viking
He was picked 18th vikings picked at 24th. Donavan Jackson has graded out better this year. If him and Darrisaw stay healthy the left side should be tough. Oniel was solid when healthy at right tackle. Center and right guard were not good. The overall health of the line was not good so they never got in a flow with each other.

I hear ya but it would have been pretty cool to have a Pierre kid on the Vikings

I'm not sure if you all paid attention but the Vikings had the number 3 defense in the NFL this year!!! There was only one team that allowed fewer touchdowns than the Vikes.

And we didn't make the playoffs because the offense sucked.

Just think what could have been if the Vikes woulda pulled there head out of their butts and just paid Darnold. Seattle paid him they have the number six defense and locked up the one seed and probably going to Super Bowl. Woulda coulda shoulda same old vikes

I really hope Flores doesn't leave could be a big setback next year.

With our o line the way it was this year, there wasnt a qb that wouldn't have done better. Our running game lacked significantly this year as well, Sam only had to statistically throw the ball around 50 percent this year because the seachickens have a much better running game then we do. There was no for sure thing Sam would have done better this year if the vikes would have kept him. I hoping we draft a decent running back this year because the vikes rb is long in the tooth.

The Viking averaged more yards per rush than the Seahawks they just ran it a lot more and believe me I had Kenneth walker on my fantasy team and he was a bum

Vikings avg 4.5 per yard 108.3yds per game 410 attempts 24.12 per game
Seachickens avg 4.1 per yard 123.3 yard per game 507 rushing attempts 29.8
What it tells me is they had a decent o line to run behind compared to the vikes

The Vikings averaged more per rush and rushed it 5 less times a game . Add those 5 more on and the Vikings averaged more rush yards per game but when you’re playing from behind you don’t get that luxury. Kenneth walker is still a bum. The real difference was in pass protection when Sam needed to throw he has time.
