Moves made, players signed, Zimmer rejuvenated, but BPA? Mike Zimmer had his press conference this week and seemed quite happy. “When we looked at the defense after the season and evaluated it, it was pretty barren in there. So we had to address that.” But what about the O? ““Our offense has been pretty darn good,” Zimmer said. “They’re sixth in the league last year.” Did they?

From the state of your Minnesota Vikings as they continue making offseason decisions… Big moves like the re-signing of Dakota Dozier, the second worst guard in the league last season, continue. Has it helped the offense? How about the Mason Cole trade? What grade you give the Vikings in free agency? Is the team better? What is now the Vikings strength? Take two Vikingsphere personalities, the great Flip Mazzi of Climbing the Pocket and Luke Braun from Locked On Vikings [and Locked On NFL] and throw them under the clock and let the hot takes fly. “It’s time for Viking Hot Takes. The FAST MOVING Minnesota Vikings Talk Show. Today, we’ve got special guest Luke Braun from Locked On Vikings. We’ve got Flip Mazzi from Climbing the Pocket. SO Buckle Up, protect your kneecaps and Let’s GO!” Flip asks: 1. Dakota Dozier is back??? Make it make sense. 2. Which side of the football has more talent? Offense or Defense? 3. What is you final grade for the Vikings 2021 free agency? Luke asks: 1. Who is the least rational free agent you want the Vikings to bring in? 2. How many years can the Vikings manage their cap with restructures (i.e. without sustaining enough unavoidable losses as to destroy a season) 3. It’s a surprise! - Not even Flip knows. #Vikings #VikingHotTakes #CTPN #ClimbingThePocket #LetGetLive Fan with us!!!

The Climbing The Pocket Network’s and Daily Norseman’s ‘In The Huddle’ crew of various CTP personalities gathers to talk your Minnesota Vikings. Jayson Brown, Myles Gorham along with Dave Stefano will be there answering your Minnesota Vikings questions and talking what’s happening in free agency. Dakota Dozier is re-signed, Mason Cole traded for, the DB room grows with Patrick Peterson, Mackensie Alexander and Xavier Woods. What needs for the Vikes remain? What needs shored up? What rumors are we hearing? How do you feel? We talked O-line and I went off on the ineptitude of this organization to fix the issue. This morning, I see this simple printed piece that shows where the QB pressures come from. Per PFF, here’s the distribution of where pressure on Cousins came from last year (lower is better): LT: 14.0% (2nd lowest) LG: 26.1% (2nd highest) C: 16.5% (5th highest) RG: 25.0% (2nd highest) RT: 14.8% (5th lowest) QB: 15.3% (10th highest) It is simple to see and simple to know where to fix… So the Vikings re-sign Dakota Dozier. “Hey Spielman! You’re doing it wrong!” On tonight’s show: - Dakota Dozier re-signing - Breaking down Mason Cole - The revamped DB room - Current needs to shore up the roster #Vikings, #CTP, #InTheHuddle, #LetsGetLive Learn more about your ad choices.

BJ Reidell and Drew Mahowald discuss the Minnesota Vikings' signings of cornerback Patrick Peterson and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson as well as former safety Anthony Harris' decision to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles and more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tomlinson & Peterson signed but what direction are the Vikes going? Darren and Dave will take a deep dive look into Dalvin Tomlinson and Patrick Peterson. How will they improve the team? The Tomlinson signing points to a not only a better against the run game defense, but a possible change in defensive scheme strategy. The team will stay in the 4-3 base, but this will effect the back end and how they go about coverage and some of the blitz packages. Will we see more linebacker blitzes from a renegotiated Anthony Bar and Eric Kendricks? How will the defensive backs change in their coverage? The signing of Patrick Peterson seems to be good. We finally have that veteran presence in the cornerbacks room. It is very much having the potential of how Terance Newman raised the play of Xavier Rhodes and the safeties. Will he be that key piece to improve the pass D? The guys are also wanting to look at the depth on the team, or lack there of. There are ares like safety, guard and defense end, but are there more? What about that offensive line? Who knows… There we go! The “Who Knows Line” will be coined today. LOL. Welcome to your Minnesota Vikings talk amongst Two Old Bloggers. Fan with us!!!
