Flores Trusts Rookies? Mason to IR & a Rainy Week 2 at Soldier Field — Flores played three rookies vs Green Bay — then Mason hit IR and Minnesota heads to a wet Soldier Field without Murray. Darren Campbell, Dave Stefano, and Drew Bunting break it down on Two Old Bloggers, a Vikings 1st & SKOL / Bleav Network show.

- Flores still leans veterans, but Domonique “Big Citrus” Orange (22 snaps), Caleb Banks (16), and UDFA safety Jacob Thomas (10) all played. Golday, Demmings, and Jakobe Thomas did not.

- Orange has the clearest role as a space-eating nose. Banks is still catching up. Depth plus Harrison Smith’s return limits Jacob Thomas.

- Jordan Mason: fractured thumb, short-term IR, out four games. Aaron Jones and DeeJay Dallas inherit the load; Demond Claiborne remains a question.

- Kyler Murray in concussion protocol. Carson Wentz starts in Chicago.

- Dallas Turner: sack, NFL-high pressures, 89.5 PFF — more evidence the 2024 first-rounder is arriving.

- Josh Metellus: 29.6 PFF vs Green Bay and a 55.4 grade last year as his role has become more “traditional safety.”

- Drew’s Week 2 preview: Bears -4.5 / ~48.5, rain and wind at Soldier Field, six-game Vikings winning streak there, turnovers as the No. 1 key, Chicago’s 59-point / 291-rush opener, Flores vs Ben Johnson, and why Minnesota has to run it and hunt the Bears’ secondary.
