Why does NO ONE talk about their QB coach, McCown. The dude was basically an assistant QB coach as a journeyman backup for EIGHTEEN YEARS! Also, another little known metric with Josh. He also coached high school football, while still showing up for practice and games as a player. He was DRAKE MAYE'S coach. He is our darkhorse man.
Watching it is a masterpiece, as I did at work watching it couldn't hear the Vikings fans march them back 1/4 of the field. Glorious time to be a long time Vikings fan.
If they played that with the lights off and then put a spotlight on the tunnel before player intros…WOOOWEEE GOOSEBUMPS. I could only compare it to the Bulls intros when Jordan played.
I'd love that too but that is technically illegal for the facility. Just like a concert. 120db is far over the legal sound limit. Around 100db is where you gotta keep it for concerts, but you can't control that for a sports crowd. Get that shit loudb
No evidence to back me up but I gotta think having The Hitman is a huge part too. His style has always matched the Flores style defense. Dude plays every yard of the field

@@ryannelson4632 the best part for me, is that I really believe that the play from Sam isn't fools gold and that's it's sustainable. If anything he's gonna get better. Also Dallas Turner should get better as the season progresses.
@@ColeFrame-ig3xjI think they will, everyone is still dismissing them. Sota knows what happening and sees it. That’s what matters. The bank was rocking on Sunday
Being at the game on Sunday it was the loudest I've ever seen the Bank. And Flo said the same thing, that it was the loudest he's seen it in two years. I also went to the playoff game two years ago and the crowd was possibly louder this time around
Dude, once again you nailed it… I literally just had this discussion with a coworker yesterday. My thought was that the Shanahan West Coast Offense reigned because nobody had really pieced together a good counter to it. Now Flores has all the right pieces and answers to give it a hard time. There’s finally answer to shut it down or at minimum slow it down.
Crazy thing is that KO sort of does the same thing as BFlo on offense… he disguises looks and schemes at the line to adjust the calls depending on defensive formations and personnel
He beat out baker in Carolina, I’ve always thought Sam got a shit deal. I’m beyond excited to see him have a chance to thrive. Idk if Mahomes or Rodger’s could have led those teams to anything over at .500 by themselves. Football is a team sport, both on and off the field. And the jets and panthers were the most toxic franchises while Sam the Red Thunder Darnold was on those rosters.
Yep. Lots of people forget that Darnold was doing well on a crap team before they lost McCaffrey, and that after Baker replaced Darnold, he bombed and Carolina quickly went back to Darnold.
I agree with what you said Chris. But he didn't only go to "QB Camp out west", he's still in QB camp. K.O.C is one of the sharper offensive minds in the game.
Sure the Texans didn't have Mixon - the Vikes were down WR2 Addison, TE1 Hockenson, 4.4 rusher Turner, and starting LB Ivan Pace. What folks aren't talking about is that Flores added 8-10 NEW players to the defence this season, and they should get better with more time on task as the season goes on. And when they get 35% of their best offensive weapons back...what you've seen so far ain't no fluke. Vikes could have home field until the SB. They already have the tie break over the 49ers.
The depth on this defensive roster is looking good. Even when we rotate in a practice squad elevation like Jalen Redmond, he immediately contributed with a sack this week. I'm a bit concerned about Linebacker and Cornerback depth, but our D-line is looking great.
@@nkanz21 I think they can live with Akayleb Evans or Moreau for a week or two at CB, same with Grugier-Hill or Asamoah. KGH started vs the Texans and Asamoah played a bit late. Also, there are a bunch of games vs much lower ranked teams coming up from week 6. The Lions and maybe 49ers fans might be a bit more worried about that. The Lions only two healthy DEs right now are Hutchinson and Paschal, they have lost LB Barnes for the season and Anzalone is in concussion protocol and they are getting thin at IDL too. Plus Hutchinson has played nearly every snap so far this season - compare that to Greenard, AVG, Turner, Jones II, Phillips, Tillery, and Jihad who are all at 60% or lower right now. That could make a massive difference later in the season. KOC talked about workload a lot pre-season, and Kwesi talked about depth, and now we are seeing the benefits of them acting on both ideas.
we actually picked up darnold before the draft with the full intention of him starting over JJ and JJ just happened to get hurt right after he started to look like a potential first year starter over Darnold
JJ didn’t get hurt and then they got Darnold. Not to mention at the time of McCarthys injury Darnold was QB1. God dammit! McCarthy is going to be a great QB for the Vikings it was never suppose to be this year
Sam Darnold to me is actually balling! Cause he got thrown to the wolves too quickly and he wasn’t developed properly which is the main thing from an organization standpoint
I've said this for years.Even if the team sucks again..don't throw a rookie qb to the wolves right out of the gate.I can understand it from a coaching perspective that they don't have the time or luxury to sit a player but sit down with owners and the gm and do what's best for the franchise as a whole.Even mahomes didn't start after he was drafted.Get a good bridge guy.
Hey Chris and guys, the best thing that happened for Kevin O'Connell is Kirk leaving! He can now reshape the offense aroung a QB that can make all the throws, Kirk has obviously lost some MPH off his ball, watching the KC game showed you that with the number of underthrown balls. He has become a short and intermediate game passer. And while being somewhat successful has never been the difference maker. Darnold has pedigree and youth and is now in an ideal situation to finally grow into what he is capable of being without external pressure of ridiculous expectations, similar to the Jim Plunkett situation in the llate 70's.
Quite a few power rankings I've seen have three NFC North teams in the top 10. Obviously the Vikings, Lions, and Packers. Sounds like the best division in the NFL.

I’ve been saying the exact same thing!! McCown is the X factor here.
You know who really gets zero credit? Wes Phillips. Dude is literally the OC and most people probably don’t even know his name 😆
@@daviduhr4941 HONESTLY, I forgot until something on ESPN like game two I think this season.
@@daviduhr4941 KOC is calling the plays though. Not as spectacular, but I love Wes Phillips family of coaches
woah i did not know this thank you for this
Gilmore on the back end right before the season started was huge
Everyone keeps thinking we were gonna play JJ but Darnold was always gonna be QB1 and JJ was gonna sit a year
I NEED to hear purple haze at 120dB, rocking The Bank
Watching it is a masterpiece, as I did at work watching it couldn't hear the Vikings fans march them back 1/4 of the field. Glorious time to be a long time Vikings fan.
I was at the game last Sunday and it was the loudest game I can remember. Seeing those consecutive false starts was a once in a lifetime moment
If they played that with the lights off and then put a spotlight on the tunnel before player intros…WOOOWEEE GOOSEBUMPS. I could only compare it to the Bulls intros when Jordan played.

Vikings defense is the best in the league. And darnold is awesome to see. What a story.
Why is everyone saying we picked up darnold.. we already had him before the draft.
I was saying the same thing 😂😂😂
"Purple Haze" Nasty!!!
It fits in perfectly well with Minnesota. Especially the “Purple Rain” by Prince. It’s such a perfect name.
I just hope to god Bflo sticks it out with this team for years and doesn’t get poached. Van ginkel has been a great pick up too
our secondary looks night and day from the last couple years. crazy how communication, veteran leadership and experience plays a role
That and having a top tier DC doesn’t hurt. 😎 SKOL4LIFE
No evidence to back me up but I gotta think having The Hitman is a huge part too. His style has always matched the Flores style defense. Dude plays every yard of the field
Him and Metellus are the backbone of this defense. They can do anything on defense at a high level, it's crazy.
That's a quality discussion! Better than the yucksters on NFL Network.

I'll buy it 😂
um it's kinda bad and been done. The Vikings have been called everything to do with purple, it's not new.
@@puppethound oh boy I bet you’re fun to be around. Fucking stick in the mud.
Josh McCown was Sam Darnold's backup when they were members of the New York Jets. Now he's Darnold's quarterback coach today ... awesome!
Who cares that they didn't have Mixon. Could easily say the Vikings didn't have Hockenson or Addison also.
Cam Ron purple haze a classic album !
Vikings didn't have Addison or Hock, also lost both tackles for a few plays
Purple Haze is good...Purple Craze? I also liked B-Flo's Hyper D. Great prediction on Super Sam Darnold. He just needed to find a good home.
Don’t forget VanGinkle
Old rip van ginkle

He’s gonna learn fast just like darnold did with Purdy… it’s all good when you set sail!
Skol
You never know who will be good
No reason to take the Lord's name in vain and if you believe in evolution you are in the dark
And McCarthy is on a rookie deal. If he can play atleast 80-90% like Darnold is right now, the surrounding team will carry him.
@@Allen-k1u keep it to yourself there archbishop Allen.
The Viking def should be call, “the ghost of Sam”
Sam Darnold to me is actually balling! Cause he got thrown to the wolves too quickly and he wasn’t developed properly which is the main thing from an organization standpoint
Exactly he needed to develop look at Brady was on the bench before Bledso went down and even Rodgers sat and developed behind Bret farve
