Vikings Happy Hour

Tomlinson & Peterson signed but what direction are the Vikes going? Darren and Dave will take a deep dive look into Dalvin Tomlinson and Patrick Peterson. How will they improve the team? The Tomlinson signing points to a not only a better against the run game defense, but a possible change in defensive scheme strategy. The team will stay in the 4-3 base, but this will effect the back end and how they go about coverage and some of the blitz packages. Will we see more linebacker blitzes from a renegotiated Anthony Bar and Eric Kendricks? How will the defensive backs change in their coverage? The signing of Patrick Peterson seems to be good. We finally have that veteran presence in the cornerbacks room. It is very much having the potential of how Terance Newman raised the play of Xavier Rhodes and the safeties. Will he be that key piece to improve the pass D?

The guys are also wanting to look at the depth on the team, or lack there of. There are ares like safety, guard and defense end, but are there more? What about that offensive line? Who knows… There we go! The “Who Knows Line” will be coined today. LOL.

From the state of your Minnesota Vikings as they continue making offseason decisions… Big moves, little moves, money rearranged like deck chairs and two “splash” signings. Your Vikings first sign Dalvin Tomlinson and then Patrick Peterson in a concerted effort to make the defense great. Mike Zimmer is going full Mike Zimmer with the majority of the moves so far focussing on the defense. There are still some holes yet to be filled, like who’s going to play left guard? Are more cuts coming, trades, renegotiations and signings on the horizon or has the team settled into draft mode will watching the second and tertiary rounds of free agency

 

“It’s time for Viking Hot Takes. The FAST MOVING Minnesota Vikings Talk Show. We’ve got Eric Thompson from the Daily Norseman. We’ve got Flip Mazzi from Climbing the Pocket. SO Buckle Up, protect your kneecaps and Let’s GO!”

Flip asks:

1. What's your favorite Vikings move (signing/cut/restructure) of FA so far?

2. How do you feel about what the rest of the NFC North is doing?

3. Who is going to play guard?

Eric asks:

1. Which move the Vikings have made this week is your least favorite?

2. How do you think Dalvin Tomlinson and Patrick Peterson will fit into the defense?

3. Outside of the glaring need(s) on the offensive line, which position would you like the Vikings address going forward in free agency?

On Mondays... join us for the a live mock draft. Climbing The Pocket, a Daily Norseman partner, will run a live mock drafts every Monday night. This is an exercise where we see how the boards fall and who is traditionally there to be available to the Vikings. There are plenty holes and options to fill them. Who do you like? Jump in the conversion and let us know!

This week, we took a little bit of a different direction in fixing the Minnesota Vikings. We had the purple trading back to 32 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and got picks 64 and 95 as well. We addressed many holes on the squad including multiple players in the trenches and secondary. Check it out and let us know what you think on Twitter!

Running a 4 round draft and focusing on potential trades. How will free agency affect this?

On this episode of Mock Draft Monday, Tyler (@TheRealForno), Ryan (@sportsguyry), debuting Deshawn @vikingsfans16 and Dave (@LuftKrigare) take this draft in a little bit of a different direction. With the legal tampering period under way and rumors that the Vikings are targeting Carl Lawson, we’ll assume they sign him, and then see how that changes the draft strategy.

Fan with us!!! Come join the @Climb_ThePocket Network’s and @DailyNorman’s Mock Draft Mondays show with host Tyler @TheRealForno and Ryan @sportsguyry as they mock draft for your Minnesota Vikings. Show produced by Dave @Luft_Krigare.

Riley Reiff was cut and now dominoes are starting fall on the offensive line. How will it change the look of the line, the free agency and draft strategies, and the results? Does Ezra Cleveland get his start at left tackle? He drafted as one, but has yet to take the snap there that any fans have seen. Does Brian O’Neill get moved over to left tackle. He’s coming up on an extension and we know left tackles get paid more than right tackles do. Do the Vikings try and get Orlando Brown Jr? Darren Wolfson confirmed earlier in the week that the Vikings had talked to the Ravens about what it would take. What about the guard positions? The Vikes needed a left guard, but if Cleveland moves to tackle, they will need two. Dominoes are falling and we don’t know yet where it will end up. What are your guesses?

The Vikings have managed through the some key cuts of Kyle Rudolph and Riley Reiff to get under the cap and are sitting around $8M below it. That doesn’t give them room for any splash type free agents though. Do they need one or two? If they do, who is next to be released or traded? Shamar Stephen would clear a few, but the big fish would be if Anthony Barr was traded. That again would affect draft and free agent strategy. There might be some extensions like to Harrison Smith to free up a bit, but we aren’t talking chunks like a Barr trade, or even a Cousins trade could generate. This next week should tell us a lot. …Like the the biggest question of all… Are the Vikings an ascending team, just treading water, or worse, a descending team?

From the state of your Minnesota Vikings as they continue making offseason decisions… Riley Reiff is the latest to get cut freeing up money to get the Vikes under the cap. Other cuts, trades, renegotiations and even signings have happened and more are on the way.

 

“It’s time for Viking Hot Takes. The FAST MOVING Minnesota Vikings Talk Show. We’ve got Eric Thompson from the Daily Norseman. We’ve got Flip Mazzi from Climbing the Pocket. SO Buckle Up, protect your kneecaps and Let’s GO!”

Flip asks:

1. Now that Riley Reiff has been released, what's your plan for the Vikings OL?

2. How is Shamar Stephen the 8th highest paid Minnesota Vikings right now?

3. Imagine you're the Vikings Front Office. What are you telling Free Agents to entice them to join the Vikings in 2021?

Eric asks:

1. Now that Riley Reiff has been released, how do you want to see the Vikings spend the cap money they freed up?

2. Which current player on the roster is the best candidate for restructuring or extending their contract?

3. Does the return of Stephen Weatherly put less emphasis on the Vikings finding edge rushing help in the draft and free agency?
