I like the makeup. Without going in depth and comparing. It seems both younger & deeper.
Last season, the db room was scary thin.
Same for the lbers.
The addition of Myles Gaskin adds some needed veteran depth to an untested RB group. Gaskin is sneaky good as a receiver.
Adding Quessenberry into the o-line mix, while unheralded, adds that 9th lineman. But it's not some youngster that would solicit groans if pressed into action.
Facing a tougher schedule in 2023, having better depth could very well make up for the stiffening competition these next 17 games will present.
Not since 2017 have I been more excited about the Vikings potential. Of course. Potential means nothing w/o results.
The pundits I've heard/read are predicting Tampa to at least cover the 6pt spread in the opener.
The current makeup of the NFL, the rules, the officiating. The talent most teams have. Has virtually eliminated "blowouts". So, from my perspective. Any win of 2 scores or more(9 pts) will be considered a blowout in my book.
I think, the rusty Vikings. That played zero starters in exhibition action, will not only cover the 6- they will blow out Bakers Bucs.
Todd Bowles has yet to show he is in control of any team he's coached. Add in the weather distraction. Bakers financial distractions.
The Flores defense, with nothing on tape for the opposition to consider, should have a big advantage.
It would be major disappointment if the lavender don't open fast with a dominating win.
