On today's (pre-recorded) show, I have some thoughts about Bud Grant and his role in the Vikings, and the influence he has had over the team's recent decisions. We'll go over Grant's history, and also how he may have influenced decisions like extending Kirk Cousins or refusing to trade away stars like Danielle Hunter.

After Lewis Cine, Andrew Booth and Akayleb Evans add themselves to the secondary, is it actually better than what we had last year? The Minnesota Vikings put a lot of resources into the secondary, but can it improve upon Mike Zimmer's 2021 unit?

As Minnesota Vikings OTAs wear on, we've learned that the Vikings have used Dalvin Cook in wide receiver alignments in bunch sets. Let me talk to you about what that means, and then we'll finish out a story about the origins of the Vikings.

The Minnesota Vikings will open against the Green Bay Packers in 2022. That reminded me of the first ever Vikings game, against the Chicago Bears on September 17, 1961. Fran Tarkenton took on George Halas's Bears for what amounted to so much more than simply a 1-0 or 0-1 start for either team.

The 2nd pick of the Vikings' draft, Andrew Brooth, Jr. out of Clemson, is an absolute dog. He's a fighter, he's a technician, and he's unbelievably enduring. I have no idea how good he'll be. But damn it all, he rules.

On today's show, I'm going over my way-too-early 53-man roster prediction for the Minnesota Vikings. I'm cutting Alexander Mattison, Chris Reed and Nate Hairson but keeping Jaylen Twyman and Wyatt Davis. Come listen to me defend my absolutely indefensible takes!
