• Carson Wentz: 95 ypg (7 games)

• Kyler Murray: 56 ypg (6 games)

Given what transpired last week, I think you have to give Wentz a chance.

KOC can see the plays but Murray can't execute those plays, that's plain to see. When does KOC recognize Murray isn't capable of executing those plays and shifts to a more fitting scheme or a different player? Is KOC capable of using the skills Murray is good at to sculpt an effective offense with him? Great coaches have limited the weaknesses and emphasized the strengths of their players. Is KOC one of those coaches?
I agree, it's an execution problem of the QB primarily. Question is, what is KOC going to do about it?

Was kind of strange. They went to a more shotgun/pistol approach over the last few weeks, it looked a bit better but not really. Then this week, more under center but less run commitment. Mason had very few carries but was good when he got them.

Not sure what the plan was against Detroit, but it sure wasn't successful.

I will say, if KM is taking bad sacks and not hitting open WRs, the drives end and there are fewer opportunities.

I really thought this would be an element of the Vikings' offense this year that gave them an advantage with Frank Smith's hiring. Definitely more runs with motion. But not a significant number, and lack of efficiency speaks for itself here. https://t.co/uhzAHfGaXG

And he would have had the first 300-yard rushing game in NFL history if not for the horse collar tackle at the end.

Vikings rookie snap count % through 7 games:

• Banks: 25% D | 15% ST
• Golday: 5% D | 74% ST
• Orange: 27% D | 15% ST
• Tiernan: 7% O | 5% ST
• Thomas: Inactive all 7 games
• Bredeson: 24% O | 28% ST
• Demmings: 1% D | 13% ST
• Claiborne: 4% O | 2% ST

Two takeaways from the rookie snap counts:

1. Jake Golday (74% ST) is the only true core special teams piece right now, carving out a heavy role under Matt Daniels.
2. Caleb Banks & Domonique Orange are effectively splitting interior rotational reps (~25-27% D) behind the vets. https://t.co/KvKRJogr90

The Vikings' first practice of the week is today at TCO. We'll speak with Kevin O'Connell around 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. CT. Kyler Murray's hamstring was tight Sunday and "sore" Monday, per O'Connell. A "full eval" was to follow. OC Wes Phillips noted the uncertainty Tuesday. Now ⬇️ https://t.co/KhWJnkieEs
