What a difference a week makes. We talk Isaiah Rodgers, Harrison Smith, Christian Darrisaw, Kevin O’Connell, Carson Wentz, and everything that went into dismantling Cincinnati. We touch on (another) significant injury on the offensive line, a group that looked wholly different with Christian Darrisaw back in the mix. Will this level of play continue in Europe? What can we expect against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Falcons Reaction + On to Cincinnati Well, that wasn't great. The Vikings lost a game that looked eerily similar to Week 1, except this time no one saved the day in the 4th quarter. The offensive line looked bad, J.J. McCarthy looked bad, and the defense couldn't stop Bijan Robinson. We discuss the level of panic as the Vikings prepare for Cincinnati without McCarthy, likely Aaron Jones, and maybe others. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On all accounts, the Vikings defense has been playing well in Camp, besting the offense consistently. Is that a good thing, or is that worrisome? We discuss J.J. McCarthy’s continued development and what we want to see from him in the first Preseason game on Saturday against Houston. We finish by highlighting other key players and factors to watch in Saturday’s game. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Training camp is upon us, which means roster spots are up for grabs and key position battles are soon to begin.

We dive into which Vikings players need to level-up this season in order for the Vikings to hit their ceiling. We finish by going around the NFC North, discussing where Minnesota's rivals improved and regressed, and how we can expect the best division in football to shake out this season.
