We start this episode discussing Eric’s time at the NFL Scouting Combine representing Pro Football Focus. Eric shared that he was able to interview Vance Joseph, former Broncos’ head coach and that he was also able to spend time with Super Bowl winning, offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy. Eric’s interview should be posted shortly on PFF’s YouTube channel.

We also discussed the Big Data Bowl and how to appropriately incorporate new data and the new combine drills into our analysis. If you’re interested in the combine drills that matter, check out Kevin Cole’s work here: offense & defense.

The next topic we tackle is Should the Vikings extend Kirk Cousins this offseason? The arguments can be summarized as follows: Cousins or a Mystery Box vs. "if you're a LG away, you're really a QB away".

We wrap the show discussing whether Dalvin Cook should get a big-money extension, which positions are most in need of an upgrade this offseason, and which cornerbacks we expect to return.

It was a fun show to record. We hope you enjoy!

Good morning Horners! In this lost episode, where Drew, Ted and Dave recorded right after the Super Bowl and the Kansas City Chiefs victory over the San Francisco 49ers, the guys get into briefly the game play, but quickly morphed to how it applies the Minnesota Vikings. There were talks of coaching, players like Kirk Cousins and his weapons. Whether building an O-line to run is as advantageous as to one that could pass protect better? There was talk of the red ink in the cap situation and how likely there will be a good amount of new faces in 2020, at least on the defense. How over the years Vikings front office [Rick Spielman and staff] and coaching [Mike Zimmer and his multiple OCs] decisions led to this cap predicament. There are plenty of option to solve some of it, but running things back with all the same players won’t be one of them.

 We congratulate Steve Hutchinson on making the Hall of Fame. He was so good and dominating. I’m sure many of you would love to have a left guard of his quality going into 2020. We finished with a heartfelt discussion of the passing of Chris Doleman, one of our favorite Vikings of time. Til Valhalla Chris!
