It's Vikings gameday! I cannot wait for this one.
Some matchups I'll be watching, in addition to the obvious QB vs. DC angles:
Dallas Turner vs. Jordan Morgan
I'd imagine Turner will spend most of his time at the ROLB position. Morgan has been dealing with a minor knee injury recently and will be making just his second NFL appearance at left tackle (Week 18 last year at MIN). Turner had a great camp.
Vikings' IOL vs. Packers IDL
If you're the Vikings, you feel pretty good about Darrisaw and O'Neill against the Packers' collection of non-Micah edge rushers. The area of concern is Jackson, Brandel, and Fries going against Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, and Javon Hargrave. Wyatt, in particular, is dangerous.
Jefferson/Addison vs. Nixon/Cisse
If the Packers struggle to get much pressure on Kyler, they're going to need their corners to hold up. CB1 is Keisean Nixon, a solid player who is a bit undersized. CB2 is second-round rookie Brandon Cisse, making his NFL debut. This is a tough task…
Why it's #2 Josh Jacobs (top-50)

Dallas Turner has had some fun moments and good raw production through the first two games. Has abused some TEs. But of his 20 charted pressures (3 sacks included) via PFF, 3 total have been 1v1 wins vs a tackle (J Morgan). Encouraging, but let's see the Wirfs reps in Wk3.

- I’m just saying, is Jeremiah Smith or bust really a healthy approach for this franchise, or any franchise? Developing a winning culture > a bluechip player. Marvin Harrison Jr was a bluechip player. Was taking Drake Maye, who wasn’t a finished product, better for the Patriots? Dallas Turner, Brock Bowers and Jared Verse were all taken on the teens. Aren’t they bluechip players now? · Quoting Simon Clancy: @OmarKelly The idea that you can’t name that blue chip player just blows my mind. You might disagree with me on Miami’s progress but pretending Smith isn’t an incredible receiver is……..bonkers.

Kevin O'Connell with very high praise for Dallas Turner:
"He's always (had) the physical talent. So gifted athletically. Strength, his ability to use his length as a rusher. Slowly and surely sometimes at that position, it happens. When he first got here, he had two Pro Bowlers in the same position group. It's not like you can say 'Hey, we're gonna throw him in there at a different spot.' That's not great for his development, to help him get to where I believe he is now.
I do believe he's maximized his offseason. He's maximized his comfort in the defense. Flo and his staff have done a phenomenal job pinpointing how to activate him as one of our real impact players. And then he's following it up with a toolbox and a skillset now, to be hard to block 1 on 1. He's hard to block within our scheme, where people are obviously concerned about pressure.
And then it's his comfort level of applying the techniques and his athleticism in those moments that's so exciting. I've seen it…
