In this episode of 'Two Old Bloggers,' Dave and Darren discuss the current state of the Minnesota Vikings, particularly focusing on the offensive line. The episode kicks off with Dave waiting for Darren, speculating he might be facing power issues in Yellowknife. Despite Darren's delay, Dave reviews the week's news from Vikings' camp, with a special mention of the wide receiver three spot and Jalen Naylor's potential to step up. Darren arrives and reveals he was delayed by a family hike. The duo then explores the quality of the Vikings' offensive line, specifically guards and centers, using extensive data from PFF. The discussion includes the performance of current players like Ed Ingram and Garrett Bradbury, the impact of offseason training, and potential free agents and top college prospects for the 2025 draft. The episode also touches on ESPN’s ranking of NFL teams’ rosters, with the Vikings placed 23rd. The show ends with well wishes for Canada Day and the Fourth of July.
