Shields doubtful as is Banjo and Elliott. Janis not mentioned
Janis was a full participant all week. He's full go but it will be interesting to see if club size went down. IIRC, as each week passes usually the size of the cast drops as well. That might make a difference in the role he has on STs
And, sounds like Davis is (likely) available.

Like this one?
I think they are only doing those for playoff games now sadly. At least they're still doing them for game reviews but I will sure miss those preview videos, that dudes voice is the best!!!
Shouldn't the title of this thread be: Vikings - WEAK !
Unfortunately, that only applies to half the Vikes team.
Don't underestimate these clowns.

They won't but I think the team that survived the hell of Jacksonville is tougher than we think
I hope so YA.
Should be interesting- strength against strength. The Vikings look to have one of the leagues better defensive units , against the Rodgers lead Packer offense. Packer offense had some glitches last week with miscommunications, hopefully those get worked out. We will soon find out if the offense is "back" or if the problems of 2015 still exist. One answer to blanketed WR is a good TE, time to get Cook going. If they bracket wr routes, I see Cobb or even Abby gouging them underneath.
Hopefully our defense can have some of the same success Tenn had in bottling up AP. If we can keep them in 2nd / 3rd and long situations, then Dom can go hard after Bradford. Can't give Bradford any time, he has a more accurate and stronger arm than Teddy.
My guess is Rodgers is sick of hearing about how well Zimmer has done against him. Pack is gonna be ready for this one !!
Yeah that. Maybe our Offense didn't show that much at Jax, too. Keeping Cook under the radar. Maybe this is Cook's big breakout game?
Since Nagler predicted a Vikings blowout you almost have to guarantee a Packers W now
Agree pack dog
Seems like these are the type of games that get 12 even more jacked up and I am sure they would like nothing better than to spoil the Queens home opener
Vikings have some key guys dinged and if the Pack can give Rodgers time to throw I think he has a big day. Not impressed at all with the MN secondary and their ability to cover. They will find out quickly that TN ain't the GB passing game.
If we saw 30% unscouted looks from Jax, I expect 50% from the Viklowns
30% is common for opening week, it decreases from there, it will not be that high this week. AR knows what Minny is going to play, the question is can we beat it.
Part of the issue with JAX's unscouted looks is that they had several new contributors on that D. You can do different things when Malik Jackson and Tashaun Gipson are starting vs. whoever they had before. MIN isn't playing a ton of new talent, they return most of that D minus the players who are injured. It's also a regular opponent, that makes a difference as well.
How would anyone know what 50 drunk Naglers predicted?
Shields is officially out.
Yay....
"Q" needs to come up LARGE!
I want Randall D. To shadow Diggs but we know Capers sucks so that will never happen.
Jam Diggs and the LOS, give the rush an extra step to pressure the pocket, move Bradford off his spot, then he'll make a mistake.
Use some of Dom's exotic blitzes which will force Bradford into having to change protections at LOS, which he may have trouble doing with little experience with terminology of the offense.
I'll be shocked if Bradford makes it to the 4th quarter
Game. Day.
Regardless of which QB starts the game, this will be the 10th different starting QB for the Queens while MM has been the coach. That is not an insignificant number.
the one thing that worries me this game is the TE, that guy is good.
Oh....don't you worry. I'm starting Adrian Peterson, Kyle Rudolph, Stefon Diggs & the Viking defense in fantasy.
They're doomed!

Much more concerned about the Queen's defense. That is a big time D with tons of speed.
I agree their defense is really good. And if Diggs and Rudolph can move the chains on our young DB's we wont get to see much of our own offense and their defense can key off on Aaron.
That is a concern, yes.
Much more concerned about the Queen's defense.
Those busbies are really intimidating. (Although I think you mean defence. This is the Queen's English, after all. )

I am interested to see if Vikes put Joseph over Tretter, knowing that he is more valuable when uncovered where he can combo & seal block.
