Color Rush Jachai Polite Jersey , I was able to ask Christopher Gates of Daily Norseman a few questions on the state of the Vikings heading into this key mid-October matchup in New Jersey.1. Let’s start off by discussing the most talked-about man in football between the months of February and March 2018, Kirk Cousins. He was one of the best free agent quarterbacks to hit the open market in a long time and he attracted interest from a lot of teams, including the Jets, who spent a lot of time considered the front runners for him. Ultimately the Vikings swooped in out of nowhere and sold him on a shot at a title. Can you tell us a bit about what the process of getting Cousins in purple and gold was like? What was the reaction to the signing like from the fanbase, and from your point of view, was this a move that you thought the Vikings were smart to make?2. Bouncing off of that, how well has Cousins played so far? Statistically he’s looked great, he’s 4th in the league in total passing, 3rd in completion percentage, 10th in quarterback rating, and he has a very solid 12 to 3 TD-INT ratio, though he has lost a league-high 5 fumbles. Does Cousins feel like an upgrade over the lights-out Case Keenum the Vikings got last year - and more importantly, do you think he’s been better than Keenum would have been had he re-signed and tried to duplicate his outlier of a 2017?3. The run game hasn’t gotten going for the Vikings yet as they rank 28th in total rushing and 20th in yards per rush attempt while their running backs have only scored 1 touchdown on the ground. Can you tell us about the offensive line’s role in those struggles Youth Jachai Polite Jersey , as well as the health and performance thus far of Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray?4. What’s gone wrong with the Vikings defense? So far they’ve been a far cry from what they were last year, currently ranked only 19th in scoring defense after leading the league in 2017. In particular, they’ve struggled on the back end. They’re allowing a 103.1 quarterback rating to their opponents this year which is 27th in the league, after they were 3rd in that category last season, and they are also 29th in yards per attempt allowed at 8.9. What have the biggest issues been against the pass?5. The Vikings are top ten in fewest rushing touchdowns, yards per carry, and total yards allowed, and own the league’s 5th best sack rate defensively. They’ve done all of that with Everson Griffen playing only 2 games. Is it safe to say that the Vikings defensive front has still been dominant? 6. Tell us about the Vikings as if you were an opposing coach preparing to play against them. How would you look to exploit them on each side of the ball, and which players, units, or concepts would you pay extra attention to in order to ensure your team wouldn’t get beaten by them on gameday?

I hope everyone’s having a great start to their day. You know the news for the team is slow when the Jets start mentioning Womens Jachai Polite Jersey , of all people, Parry Nickerson’s 2018 Combine numbers. Nothing against Nickerson, as he is a lightning quick CB (and I’m actually higher on him than most). It just shows how much dead air there is during this time of the year. A couple of veteran wide receivers have been released in Michael Crabtree and Randall Cobb, and I’d like to see the Jets try to take a swing at these guys instead of holding onto someone like Jermaine Kearse. Hopefully, Maccagnan is smart with this money and instead of opting for some of the largest FA names, he’s able to get guys that can fill roles in the systems in place by Gase and Williams. Although it’s cliche to talk about emulating the Patriots, I think their approach to team-building is common sense, and I’m honestly surprised more teams don’t go this route. However, it’s easy to say when the team has had a great QB and coach for the greater part of this century. The Jets will be there again.
