Tyler Forness of A to Z Sports joins Judd Zulgad to dig into the meat and potatoes of the Minnesota Vikings’ win in London over the Jets to improve to 5-0. Is Sam Darnold starting to hold onto the ball a bit too long? How can the Vikings play a bit more conservatively after gaining a lead without really backing off the gas pedal? How greatly does Aaron Jones impact the offense? What sort of schemes did Brian Flores draw up to attack Aaron Rodgers?

Really listen to these idiots never played sports
Nicolet Law has same commercial but he walking thru Lambeau Field
Your wrong, Cousins would of been sacked atleast 6 times
Love the vikings enjoy the ride
Forno is the john david booty of skor north
Those 6-15 yrd passes will happen. Enter Hock return. That's why that part of the game is missing
Forno is unlistenable. Put Judd back on before I die he fit in much better there , put miles back on here make it on draft again so nobody watches again
You give Ed Ingram to much biased credit Forno.
I'll give Darnold a pass on his bad game. London time zone vs MN time zone, rain, crappy turf, AJones going out in the 1st half, and a top-3 secondary shutting his WRs down. He also hurt his ribs, which effects your throws.
Look at all the great QBs who lost on Sunday. We won. Just take the bye to make offensive adjustments, trade for Dexter Lawrence, and let's make a run. Who needs a late 20s 1st rounder for 2025 & 2026 when your biggest SB window in 15 years is wide open right now.
Funny… Darnold can be better at cousins than cousins can be a Darnold 🤔
The Vikings Vanish….its all the rage dance moves for the second half of any football game.
6 for 92 is not a dud..
You guys should embarrassed on how you are treating Sam. Last week he was your league MVP and now you want him to play like Mr .500 who has not won at any level. Forno is my most disliked analyst in North America.
Some of you all are
Missing the points . Sometimes it’s ok to take what the defense gives you
Penalties to kill big chunk plays really annoyed me
OMG shut up please … you destroyed Kirk while he was in Minnesota
All i know is that if Cousins was qb they definitely don't beat the Jets
Moronic take 😂😂😂 SKOL!
Everyone is so critical of Sam and this is after a win. Imagine once we lose. The world will end. It’s always easy to pick apart a game when you’re not playing. Chill out people were 5 and 0. Enjoy it.
Judd keeps trying to put a ceiling on Sam? I think he's setting himself up for a major heartbreak with QB JJ leaving for pics.
The only thing we should be talking about fixing is the punting special teams. That unit has almost single handily lost us a couple games.
Etienne has logged 214 rushing yards and two touchdowns over 47 attempts this season, adding 10 receptions for 48 yards. He is up to 2,437 yards and 18 touchdowns over 534 rushes and 103 catches for 840 yards and one touchdown receiving.
When T.J. gets back we'll have more options in the middle of the field.
I completely agree that Sam is trying to hit haymakers too much. Too often they were in short yardage situations and he went for low probability deep shots. I also agree that KOC seems to get into long developing playcalls too often. Just like in a fight, you need to setup with some solid jabs before you throw the big shot.
No we need Darnold to play like he did last month. Scaling back the offense will have us plating like we did last year, .500
Forno is a piece of 💩 He’s takes are borderline of insanity. He is by far the worst “analyst”. I will not watch anymore episodes that features such an imbecile. Unsubscribe
Please get a haircut. Both of these dudes look like they smell
Looking at yous twos…more meat, fewer potatoes.
So now we're advocating for the check down
Meat and potatos doesn't mean deep dive it means basic you, Dolts
3rd and 1 before the half and you throw the ball that's not play calling when you're doing fine you're running down the clock
Look at all the dumb comments that can't ascertain click bait when they see a thumbnail.
Sub'd just now for good convos going forward.
Keep it coming purple bruhs.😊👍
It has nothing to do with Sam Darnold and everything to do with Kevin O Connel!!!!!! Playing QB in the NFL is 50 times harder than being a head coach and a play caller!!!!!!
I don't want him to play anything like safety stats Kirk. Darnold is Darnold..5-0.
Kirk is in Atlanta, 3-2, should be 2-3, doing what he did in Mn.
35 million dollar Jefferson needs to quit dropping passes.
Man, Id love dj reed on the vikings he was awesome
This is where Hockenson will take the offense to the next level. He's the perfect big target for Darnold to hit underneath routes to.
just calm down everyone. 😀 He didn't say Darnold should play like cousins in general. He just said he should watch other QBs, learn and get better. And Cousins has some skills Darnold could work on. But we shouldn't forget that Darnold has probably his second first season and just give him a bit time. As soon as he started to ball everyone is expecting him to be all around developed.
In a nutshell, here's the major difference between Kirk and Sam…on 4th and 8 with a minute left, a dump off pass is not in Sam's dna. Sam would have either sprinted right up the middle, or more likely, sailed a pass to Jets in the endzone, regardless of the double team. At minimum, they have to rush to the line to spike it after a first down. At worst, it gets picked. At best he makes a legendary throw, because Jets is, well….JETS.
Tell me you hate Sam without telling me. 🥱
That was a new Hellas turf there in London, not certain if it was the exact same one that they just put in the Vikings stadium, but I know it was a good Hellas product. Field looked great. It always rains over there, and everything is going to get slippery when it first starts raining. If you get a chance, go look up Jerry World a couple of weeks ago for Arkansas and Texas A&M. That was the absolute worst looking playing surface in Jerry world that I have ever seen. Not sure what the deal was there on that. Just looked bad.
😒😒😒 omg didn’t we bitch and complain for Kirk to take risk and make plays and now we having a conversation on darnold needing to play like Kirk come on now bad take smh booooo forno booooo
I feel like those 1st have drives that Sam has scooted for a fresh 4 would have been 3 and outs with Cousins…
Fornie you have always been my favorite between you and Thor Nystrom but your take on Darnold is way off. Darnold is walking that line perfectly fine. I have said it time and time again that the last 6 quarters were not on Darnold. If you look at the first 3 games, they were spreading the ball around and then Darnold was taking his shots. Was Darnold perfect absolutely not but he was taking what the defense was giving him then taking shots. The last 6 quarters KOC was forcing it to Aaron Jones in the second half and then he was trying to force feed Jefferson in London all game. He had 14 targets meanwhile Nailor had ZERO!! The last six quarters have been less about execution and more about play calling.
There were some interesting ideas presented today like J Jets dropped balls, and throws that could be better, but it’s all words. This is supposed to be meat and potatoes. It’s supposed to be deeper. Use some film and SHOW me why. Otherwise it’s just another perspective presented in the same way as every other podcast: words, words, words, words, and more words. Just a thought, guys, to improve this show. I know it takes a bit more preparation to produce a show like that, but it will be MUCH better. It will be unique.
3RD Quarter has been a repeated problem with KOC. Every year with every team has been a dud when the 3rd quarter plays out. I think it is more of a KOC thing than anything. Different coach's and different quarterbacks is resulting in the same problems in the 3rd quarter.
