It looks like it’s the only position group with a position battle remaining. While not a position group, do we have any inkling yet as to who the returner/s will be?

My best guess is that the primary returner is going to be Smith-Marsette both as a kick returner and punt returner. I’m sure Abdullah and Nwangwu (when healthy) will mix in on kick return as well. Same with Westbrook on punt return, but be also don’t know how extensively they plan to use him on offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't use the #4 WR much. Osborn looks like he won the #3 job so it'll be hit or miss with Westbrook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 This will be my first opportunity to watch the Vikings this preseason - not sure I missed much in the other 2 games... I really like the defense, and as long as everyone stays healthy I think they will be in every game during the regular season because of it. This whole season revolves around figuring out the OL and Cousins avoiding those stinker type games. I'm not sure this is a super bowl team, but I expect a playoff win, minimum. NFCCG is probably the ceiling if everything goes right. Looking forward to watching the starters tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad People Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Id be ecstatic If Kirk Cousins led this team to the NFCCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are an average or above average unit come playoff time, this team could roll. It's going to be really, really hard to run on the defense, which should allow the secondary to be better. If Hunter is as beastly as the reports seem to indicate, that will only help the secondary as well. When given a clean pocket and time, Kirk can dissect a defense. He definitely has the weapons around him. It's just a matter of keeping him upright and the defense keeping us in games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team, like so many with expensive players, doesn’t have a lot of proven depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I’m putting the line at .5 for Mike Hughes interceptions. Are you taking the over or the under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb_K Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not much pressure from The DL on that 20 yd completion to Kelcey. And then Breeland lets Hill behind him for the TD. What an awful start. 4-play drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb_K Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Nice downfield pass by Cousins, and catch by Irv Smith for that 1st Down. Nice running by Abdullah behind the OL good blocking. Nice 1st Down run on the toss to ISM. Irv Smith with another good catch & run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
