Or is it time to cut some players loose, repair the cap & start loading up with lower draft picks?
Keep on winning, being competitive?
Yeah, gets some ink on cuz. 3 years is a strong possibility. At a minimum, id think kurko would require around $35m per year. Likely close to $40m-$45m which i would think is where he's free agent bidding would land. Of course who knows. The cuz has said many times. Retiring in purple is his preference. Maybe ge's qilling to do a backload void year deal thats cap friendly to the $20-25m per year deal that keeps him in minnesota to the end. But then slams the cap when he retires. If you keep him. They need better pass-pro. Oneal has regressed this year on passing downs. We dont know if Rusner is a one off in priving he belongs & Bradburry, while improved. Remains a major pass pro liability. Cuz is NOT going to become more elusive as ge ages. So unless that interior is soldified. The season ending epitaph is most likely to be a rd/4th down fail at picking up interior pressure. The regular season, perhaps its not as crucial. But come playoff football. That same pressure up the middle is the absolute Kryptonite of any cousins led offense.
If you move on from Cuz, Likely hall is at least a full season starter gig away from becoming the best case scenario of his ability. Yet, after 1 NFL start, the same issue he had in college arises on his 1st series. Very injury prone.
Dobbs wont be the answer in purple with KOC as coordinator. Kic is going to run the team pro-set/ play action. End of story. If ever koc was going to embrace RPO/zone read & other spread concepts. It was monday night past. We saw the KOC modern tweak. The 15 year old wildcat. No hint of anyvspread elements. That's fine- if you can find pro-set qb's. Which is why I keep saying Pennix is the viking target. Not Caleb, not Maye.
I cant figure why in the 2022 draft they didnt target Aiden Oconnell. Last drafts best pro-set candidate after that kid CJ that the texans stole from underneath David Teppers arogant nose.
Can the Vikings land Pennix? Probably they'll need to move up. My second choice to try to convert to the KOC scheme would be Sam Hartman.
Does the draft decide this for koc & kwesi?
I think not. I think they try hard to convince cuz to do them a $20m Brady hometown favor type deal. Chase some line upgrade, another rb maybe & then some cb & lber playmakers that match the BMFD speed Flores wants to create a #1 D.
I really doubt hall is the answer or that dobbs can become consistent in the Kev scheme. But... Im just a fan. We dont ever know the true & actual conversations at winter park(tcoc).
All things being equal? Bc of my age. Id keep qb room as is. Once & for all fix the dam line. Maybe via fa? And draft flores the players needed to make HIS vision reality. More than ever. Turnivers are how you win in this iteration of the NFL.
Mullins is only 28. Well see him next. He's as close to cuz, in emergency, as there is to run this thing when/if cuz goes down. We'll see how he does post bye. If not vs Raiders, which would be crazy to not go Nick, then certainly vs Cincy.
Dont expect Mullins miracles. Hes capable of running things like cuz. But his arm isnt as strong. Instead of a 55yd cuz limit. Mullins is likely closer to a 40-45yd limit.
5 games left. Vikes beed to win minimum 3 to make playoffs... Idk if they can win more than 2.
Everybody forward us hunting for playoff seeding.
A packer win sunday vs kc springboards the currs into a playoff favorite. Im debating on picking them for the pool. It is at lambeau, and nobody in KC can catch the dam ball.
