We'll soon find out who's wrong. If he takes another 5 sacks this week, he won't make it to week 6 at the current rate. It's in his best interest to play within the system and trust other receivers besides Adams.  

 

At this juncture, I'd take a 2 interception performance over another 5+ sack one. Sacks are typically negative yard drive killers and take a toll on 12's body. 

It wasn't a sexy game. But considering the fact that it was @ Chicago in a new system, week 1, I'm okay with it. He needs to improve, and so does the entire offense. The interior offensive linemen have to do their thing more consistently, and the WRs need to get open.

 

And there's no chance in hell, that I would take a 2 INT game over a 5 sack game. No chance

"Vikings center-turned-guard Pat Elflein emerged from Sunday’s win over the Falcons with a knee injury. Elflein did not practice on Wednesday, the first full day of work in advance of a Week Two showdown with the Packers at Lambeau Field.

Vikings signed C Brett Jones

This was always a possibility after the Vikings initially waived Jones during the first week of September. A 13-game starter two seasons ago, Minnesota most recently depended on Jones as their top reserve. He'll step right back into that role starting in Week 2.

Elflein has been a weak link for two years now. I’m sure most Vikings fans are optimistic that the OL could perform better with Elflein on the bench or inactive.

It is possible given that Elflein never seemed to recover from that injury during the delicious NFC Championship game in Philly that his absence could be a good thing for the Queens long term.

Who's gonna go if Elflein can't?

Dozier? 

Like all the moving parts on an OLine that was weak up the middle anyway.

Yes, Elflein never seemed to recover from that injury. He was promising as a rookie. 

Dozier has been getting first team reps this week and looked good in the preseason, played LT. Jones can also play guard though he’s more useful as a backup IOL.

We’re hoping that rookie Dru Samia is eventually starting at LG, he also looked good in preseason on the second team OL. Might just be a matter of time for Samia.

OL is definitely a work in progress. Bradbury is a rookie. O’Neill missed the entire preseason with an injury.
