My favorite teams
What do you expect?
I expect a loss with Mitch trying hard but not looking great to the average fan with only one starting OLman in position. What I like is that the Vikes have a possible bye and home field advantage to play for so the game will be real for them. On O, while I don't expect great #s from Mitch, I expect him to be better at line calls and pocket presence but I also expect sacks and Grasu doing his turtle impression at points in this game against a VG D.
Our D will have to show up to give us a chance. Pressure has been down without Floyd except against Cleveland and I expect that to continue. I suspect TOP will clearly favor the Vikes dinking and dunking but not all is lost. Trubs can rise to the occasion and Loggains may be completely free to call some cool shit that our QB can pull off. What I don't want to see is more designed closed space QB runs. What I do want to see is ball control with throwing on early downs and then attacking deep when/if the safeties cheat on an early down. Fundamental stuff against a solid D when you can't trust your protection.
Here's to hoping the O players all come out well coordinated, keep the ridiculous amount of drive killing penalties to a minimum, the D can create some quick pressure and the entire team leaves healthy.
