I hope Nailor will play really well, otherwiuse Jefferson will be doubled and tripled all game. Having the #2 WR and #1 TE out is really bad. But Oliver could be used more. I'd rather see both Nailor and Tristen Jackson in, than lots of short throws to Mundt. The Vikings beat the 9ers without their #1 receiver and basically no run game last year. Hopefully Nailor steps up and KOC can scheme appropriately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 The Vikings are kicking off their practice week without wide receiver Jordan Addison. Head coach Kevin O’Connell said at his press conference that Addison will not take part in practice on Wednesday. Addison will remain inside the team’s facility getting treatment on his injured ankle and O’Connell said the team will take it a day at a time from here. O’Connell said the rest of the team is healthy as they move toward a Week Two matchup with the 49ers. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/no-practice-for-jordan-addison-wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Matt Barrows @mattbarrows Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) will be limited in today’s practice just like he was last week, Kyle Shanahan says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 The 49ers would be wise to just rest McCaffrey until he’s healthy. They are still maybe the NFC’s best team without him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel popped up on the injury report Wednesday. He did not practice with a foot injury. Van Ginkel starred in Sunday’s win over the Giants with a sack, two quarterback hits, four tackles, an interception and a pass defensed. Dallas Turner is Van Ginkel’s backup, with Van Ginkel getting 41 snaps and Turner 36 in the opener. The Vikings also were without receiver Jordan Addision (ankle) at Wednesday’s practice. Center Garrett Bradbury (knee) was limited and receiver Jalen Nailor (ankle) a full participant. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/andrew-van-ginkel-sat-out-wednesdays-practice-with-a-foot-injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Aaron Jones is seeking his seventh consecutive game (including playoffs) with at least 100 scrimmage yards. If he hits that mark, it will be his third game in a row against San Francisco with triple digits. Jones came close to 100 rushing yards, finishing with 94, last week at New York. https://www.vikings.com/news/49ers-week-2-game-preview-2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 PFF SF 49ers @PFF_49ers Brock Purdy can excel against the Vikings' zone-heavy defense Purdy has been the most efficient QB in the NFL against zone coverage. Minnesota ranks 3rd in zone coverage rate, presenting opportunities for Purdy to capitalize on his success against those looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFFs analysis really should say Purdy could excel IF the Vikings run a zone-heavy defense - Flores is known for adjusting scheme to nurtralize opponents strengths so i doubt we'll be running as high % of zone vs the 49ers as we did the giants. The 3rd in the league rate of zone coverage is also skewed seeing as that game was put away with almost half the game clock remaining - Vikings D was playing zone 2 prevent coverages to burn down the clock Edited September 12 by viking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnold (with KOC literally in his ear) will have to give us his best too. 35/45 400 yards 2 TDs / 1 INT That TD to Addison at the end of the 1st half should have been an INT, but his first INT probably should have been a catch by Addison. Addison giveth and then he taketh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 San Francisco's rushing offense is proven. Minnesota's run defense under Flores is, too. In 2023, the Vikings tied for the fourth-fewest yards allowed per rush (3.8). On Sunday, they picked up where they left off, yielding to the Giants just 74 yards on 21 attempts (3.5 avg.). That's important. Because the 49ers are riding a massive wave of momentum in the run game, and Deebo Samuel is a force multiplier across the San Francisco offense. Flores: "It's the right fit and the right system. I think Coach Shanahan does a great job of putting those guys in positions to make plays, using their skill sets to be explosive, to create explosive plays. To run the ball the way they want to run it, to be physical, to be violent. I think it's a combination of the two. Obviously, Deebo is very, very talented, but it's a perfect fusion of talent and schematics." A key to slowing San Francisco is flying to the football. Few do that better on the Vikings defense than second-year linebacker Ivan Pace, Jr., who left guard Blake Brandel compared earlier this week to a "jacked-up pitbull" and "heat-seeking missile." Pace had six tackles and a quarterback hit in the opener. Flores, on Pace: "He's certainly being talked about from a game plan standpoint this week, with an aggressive, violent rushing attack that we're going to see. We're definitely talking about him, and how to deploy him along with a lot of our other guys against what is going to be a big challenge." https://www.vikings.com/news/49ers-week-2-game-preview-2024 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
