Weekend Eve Open Thread
Good Morning, It’s Friday!How’s everyone’s social distancing and sheltering at home going? I talked to mrs_rob yesterday and since the local governor announced a 30 day stay at home unless your essential order starting today she said everyone went bananas trying to buy out the local liquor store. I wanted to tell all of them it’s going to remain open, but why spoil the fun? Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and...

What role does the big man have for the Vikings’ o-line in 2020?
The Vikings selection of offensive tackle Olisaemeka (Oli) Udoh last year in the 6th round (#193 overall), was a classic traits-based project pick. At 6’5”, 325 pounds, 35 3/8” arms, and the top 40 speed among offensive tackles in the 2019 draft, Udoh is a prototypical offensive tackle. Big, strong, athletic, and with an iron grip, once he gets his hands on...

Free agency is done dried up. May as well mock.
Free agency is seemingly all but finished although I believe the Vikings have some moves they will make prior to the draft. There could be a minor signing or two of veterans at certain positions like cornerback and safety. There could be extensions for Cook and Harris (apparently). There could be a trade or two (of Harris and for Trent Williams).
In this mock/plan, I am going to...
Adam Thielen is a receiver by trade, but the Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowler is giving during the COVID-19 crisis...
Professional athletes have been admirably using their status, wealth and influence to help support first responders and those hit worst by the coronavirus pandemic. Add Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook and defensive end Danielle Hunter to that ever-expanding roster of athletes who are serving an integral role amid the outbreak. Cook announced on Twitter Wednesday that he is donating his royalty earnings from Electronic Arts’ “Madden” video game series to North Memorial...
Trevon Diggs lost his father when he was 10. But his brother Stefon, a receiver for the Bills, has supported him all the way to the NFL.

Thorsday Open Thread
Good Morning, It’s Thorsday!I’m back on service for the next seven days so links and stuff up here might get limited depending on what time I get home and how exposed I am....that’s a joke son. I’ve enjoyed the last seven days off with mrs_rob, huge bummer her business had to close due to social distancing restrictions mandated by the government because of Covid 19, but she’s resilient and has time to figure out what else she wants to do. Meanwhile we’ll...

Second in a series on promising young players on the Vikings roster
Olabisi Johnson is what became of one of Rick Spielman’s treasured 7th round picks last season. The #247 pick overall, Johnson competed for a roster spot with a handful of other Day 3 picks, veteran free agent pick-ups, and former first-round pick Laquon Treadwell. But when the final cuts were made, those guys came up short and it was Johnson who emerged with a coveted roster spot. ...

The money will go towards protective equipment
A pair of Minnesota Vikings stars are making some big donations for a very worthy cause.
Just a short time ago, running back Dalvin Cook announced that he was taking his check that he will be getting from Electronic Arts for the Madden NFL series of games and donating it to North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale to help them purchase protective gear for the men and women that work there.
I want to say THANK...

And they’re pretty sweet!
Every year, one of the highlights of the NFL Draft is Roger Goodell calling a draftee’s name and seeing them walk up on stage to get a sweet new hat depicting their new team. With the situation we’re currently in with social distancing and everything else, we won’t get to see that this year, unfortunately.
However, you can get one of the 2020 NFL Draft hats for yourself, and I must say that the model for the Minnesota Vikings looks pretty sweet....
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook announced Wednesday he is donating the check he receives from the NFLPA for his likeness being in the Madden video games to North Memorial Hospital in Minnesota...
We’ve seen athletes get creative when it comes to helping fight the COVID-19 pandemic around the United States. Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is just the latest example of that. Cook announced on Wednesday that he’s donating his “Madden” check from the NFLPA to help provide PPE gear to first responders at the Minnesota-based North Memorial Hospital. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes the donation will come in at $17,000-plus. This is cool way to make the money work as the...

Optimistic? Maybe, but that’s okay.
While nobody knows anything for certain given the current state of affairs, it certainly sounds like the National Football League is pretty optimistic about how things are going to be in about five months.
In a conference call on Tuesday, league officials stated that they were planning on a full 2020 NFL season, that the season would start on time, and that all of the currently planned...

Break out the books!
Hey, everyone! I apologize for letting this series drop off a bit, but since it looks like we’re in for a bit more Skolcial Distancing in the midst of the coronavirus situation, it looks like I’d better pick it back up again. We’ve already looked at the worlds of television and video games for what we’re doing while we’re sheltering in place, but now it’s time to move on to a different realm.
If you’re a...
DN writer Eric Thompson joined Chase to discuss a wide range of NFL offseason topics.
With the rest of the sports world in an indefinite holding pattern, the NFL has kept churning along with their offseason leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft. Chase Thomas was kind enough to have me on as a guest of his podcast to discuss a vast array of football topics, including but not limited to:
The free agency adventures the Vikings have had thus far, including the Stefon Diggs trade, the exodus of many...
