What I saw PS1
Arrow way up
Michael Jurgens- that dude was stout in the run game and a rock in pass pro. Played almost entire game. Finished his blocks downfield. Loved this guy. Looked like he got beat once but it was a blown screen play, so not really his fault. he also got rolled on the blocked fg by a really good double team. Still a rock solid A grade
Arrow up- potential contributors
JJ- a lot of clean pockets but this dude can sling it and so young. INT was an under thrown ball and he had the answers after. If Darnold can keep this guy on the bench for a year, look out NFC North.
Jalen Nailor - QB’s got him the ball and he caught everything. No probs getting open against 1 st stringers
Arrow up
Bo Richter- dude was half a maniac on the field. When he learns to play faster? Could be a stolen gem.
Levi Drake Rodriguez.
In the backfield quite a bit. Sack TFL’s PD. Filled the stat sheet.
Walter Rouse
Saw some nice run blocks and did not notice any pressure given up. Played most of the game.
Arrow down:
Theo Jackson- been getting raves but looked out of position a few times including a touchdown.
Generally our safeties were late especially down the seams.
I thought our IDL didn’t hold ground well enough and MLBs didn’t fill like I would want.
Ed Ingram- had a tough matchup with Wilkins and did not look good. Starters get tough matchups every week.

People sleep peacably at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Kene had a nice run, but remains a liability in pass pro...
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Forgot about Wilkins. I hope he got a good taste of the US Bank environment and the team on the rise he passed over to sign with a completely irrelevant and future-less Raiders team for a few dollars more.

So I've been ringing the bell for Jurgens a month ago.

You think hes’s good enough to start? He looked it Saturday. Probably a Bradbury year, but we have some excitement for the future

I've noticed the Vikings have been targeting slightly bigger offensive linemen the last couple years, which I think is a good thing. Requisite NFL size and strength first, with athleticism and mobility second.
Too early to say now, but it sure would be nice if we've already got Bradbury's replacement on the roster.

Anyone else have a hard time tracking the ball when Reichard kicked the game winner? I think the sunlight hit the camera just right......

I read/heard somewhere that Jurgens was rated as an elite run blocker last season.

I can’t remember the play but it was an inside run L to the b gap and he got outside the dl and just walled him. 10 yard run.
