Welcome to today's episode of Two Old Bloggers with your hosts, Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano. Strap in for a deep dive into all things Minnesota Vikings on Vikings 1st & SKOL.

We kick things off with a detailed analysis of the newly released Vikings schedule, discussing its intricacies, challenges, and potential impact on the team's performance in the upcoming season. We also dissect reactions to the schedule, and assess the possibility of a tough start to the season, considering the strength of the opponents in the first seven games.

The episode takes a turn towards the team's quarterback conundrum, spotlighting Sam Darnold and J.J. McCarthy. We explore the potential scenarios of who will start in 2024, the impact on the team's dynamics, and the overall strategy for the QB room.

Next, we shift our focus to the strength of the Vikings defense with a spotlight on new additions Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel, Blake Cashman, Shaq Griffin, and Dallas Turner. We contemplate on the team's defensive strategies under coordinator Brian Flores, and how these new additions might transform the defense into a top-tier unit in the NFL in 2024.

The episode also features an in-depth look at some significant roster moves. We discuss the implications of the Vikings waiving reserve corner JoeJuan Williams, and the subsequent signing of defensive lineman James Lynch. Additionally, we evaluate the potential impact of signing veteran tight end Robert Tonyan, especially considering the uncertainty around T.J. Hockenson's readiness to play.

We wrap things up by pondering over the ways General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah could accumulate more draft picks for the 2025 draft, including the potential trading of Nick Mullens and the future of promising young players like Lewis Cine and Andrew Booth.
