If Viking fans wants a victory in this spot, ya'll better hope Bryce Young is back under center. Andy Dalton on a soggy Seattle Sunday looked more like Fitz-magic the the Red Rifle check down chump he was for the 2022 Saints.
Myself? I been begging the Collapse for Caleb chant since draft day. This viking roster has as many holes as anyone can remember. A DC that wants to play an aggressive blitzing style while lacking any db's capable of playing press/ man coverage. Fans can blame Flores- it is the low hanging fruit. But the problem predates Flores via too many bad draft decisions.
No db's capable of running Flores scheme. No nose tackle to anchor the 3-4 base scheme. On offense, no interior lineman capable of blocking NFL linemen and a coach that believes Alex Mattison is a NFL caliber lead back.
Coaching & schemes are important. But they can only cover a limited amount of sub standard personnel. It is what it is. It is becoming more & more apparent. Kwesi needs to go. He's built a really poor squad of happy go-lucky nice guys that aren't good football players. It's nice for the local charity community. But on Sundays? Louie Cine, Mehki Blackmon, Ed Ingram and Andy Booth aren't contributing on the field.
Nice guys, all of 'em. I'm sure.
But, as the cliche goes- Nice guys finish last.
So? Make lemonade out of this viking bag of lemons. The best case scenario for this roster is to mirror image last years 11-0 1 score record with an 0-11 record in 2023 1 possession games.
It is a realistic goal. Achieve it & Caleb Williams is a very real possibility.
