Now we are under DeFlippo. Will be interesting to see what, if anything, changes. 

Never really went and looked at interior guards height and weight from anywhere he went.

 

And it doesn't really matter since he's never been anywhere long enough to signify a trend.  The longest he's ever coached anywhere, including college, is 3 years...and he's only been a coordinator for 1 year, otherwise he's been a QB coach, so he has no input on offensive linemen.

Maybe someone can fact check this but I saw a stat on another forum...

The Vikings have never had back-to-back seasons where their QB starts all 16 games.

Yikes!

Back-to-back by the same QB, yes.

Only nine 16-game seasons by a Vikings starting QB.
1978: Fran Tarkenton
1979: Tommy Kramer
1995: Warren Moon
2000: Daunte Culpepper
2002: Daunte Culpepper
2004: Daunte Culpepper
2009: Brett Favre
2012: Christian Ponder
2015: Teddy Bridgewater

Tommy Kramer (1980) and Warren Moon (1994) were closest, both playing a 15-game season before/after their full season.

So 9 of 39 seasons have had a Vikings QB play a full 16-game season.

That's kind of amazing for a team with as much success as the Vikings have had (minus the entire Super Bowl thing)....

Sharrif Floyd may never play again because of a nerve issue in his right knee that kept him sidelined last season. However, the defensive tackle is fighting the Vikings over his salary for 2017.

The Vikings paid Floyd a $2 million base salary and a $6,450 workout bonus, Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune reports. Teams can choose how much to pay players on the non-football injury list, which is where the Vikings placed Floyd last season. Floyd filed a grievance, arguing his knee issues stem from arthroscopic surgery he had to repair his meniscus in 2016 and thus should be classified as a football injury. Floyd would have received his entire $6.76 million salary if he had started on the physically unable to perform list and eventually gone to injured reserve.

The Vikings picked up Floyd’ fifth-year option, with the $6.76 million guaranteed for injury until the start of the 2017 league year. Because Floyd was rehabbing his injury in March, the team wasn’t allowed to release him.
