Locked On Vikings - Daily Podcast On The Minnesota Vikings

On this show, we'll talk about the Vikings' strange kicker transactions and what that means about their plans with Dan Bailey. Then, we'll talk about what led to all the pressure, and what the Vikings need to fix to prevent that from happening again. Finally, the Vikings have had some major operational issues, and at some point, they need to learn how to get a play from the sideline to the line of scrimmage. It's astounding how bad they are at that. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Thursday injury report had a little good news, plus a new signing and Eric Kendricks getting Walter Payton Man Of The Year consideration. Then, we'll talk about Tom Brady's arm and how the Giants and Saints exploited it. Plus, Todd Bowles has an aggressive defense, and if they keep their wits about them, they can punish that tendency.

On this week's Crossover Thursday, we talk to David Harrison of Locked On Bucs. We're starting with the bleak Wednesday injury report, and a little talk about uniform choices. Most of the show is the chat with David Harrison about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Is Tom Brady too old to play QB? What about his relationship with Bruce Arians? Why isn't Tampa Bay shredding everyone with all those weapons? We'll get to know Tampa, the first real contending team the Vikings play in several weeks.

On today's episode, we'll chat about the release of Holton Hill and the signing of a new offensive lineman to the practice squad. Plus, some talk about how much Justin Jefferson's target share has increased, and a fatal flaw in the famous Kubiak rollout design that teams are exploiting more and more often. Finally, we'll talk about how the Vikings can cash in on the emergence of Cameron Dantzler as a viable starting NFL cornerback.

In the 27-24 win over Jacksonville, the Minnesota Vikings had a tough time keeping their feet under them. From botched handoffs to special teams disasters to a hideous pick six, the Vikings did everything they possibly could to lose this game.

On today's show, we talk about injury reports before diving into the Jacksonville Jaguars. They have some serious coverage issues, and it's likely the game comes down to that. The Jags and Vikings have a lot in common stylistically, for better or worse. They approach run defense the same way, and have about the same stable of quarterbacks. The difference is that the plan is much more appropriate to the Vikings. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  Echelon Right now, you can try any Echelon Fitness equipment at home for 30 days.

On today's show, we'll chat about Adam Thielen and the injury report. Most of the show is a talk with Tony Wiggins at Locked On Jaguars about the Jaguars, tanking, and their conspiracy to get Ngakoue to the pro bowl. If Ngakoue makes the pro bowl, it means the Vikings give the Jaguars a higher draft pick, so their plot to pull it off must be stymied.

On today's show, we'll talk about Austin Cutting's release, Kirk Cousins's great day and Gary Kubiak's play calling. Then we'll dive deep into the Vikings' run defense: what's wrong with it? Can they fix it? The answer may not be what you were looking for, but at least the safeties are carrying an incredible weight and not crumbling.

Despite a 3rd quarter meltdown with back-to-back fumble touchdowns and a litany of inexcusable problems, the Vikings scratched and clawed their way to a one-point win over Carolina. Kirk Cousins was the driving force behind the best the Vikings had to offer, and the defense only gave up ten points of their own. We'll hop into all of the ins and outs and chaotic moments of this game, from field goal misses to clock management to how to judge the coaching.
