VikingsTerritory Breakdown - A Minnesota Vikings Radio Show

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins spoke last week and once again proved to be a master of allocution when faced with the media's questions. He demonstrated his agility behind a microphone, avoiding the rush of media inquiries and a deft touch in saying much without ever giving away any team secrets or providing a stark inspection of what lies behind his winning smile. It's great if you're...

So, perhaps the Vikings can be home for more than nine games this season. That’s where the rock-solid prognostication comes in. We can look down the schedule and forecast just how many of those home (and road) games the Vikings are going to win this season and if any extra post-season games will take place at The Vault. Let the speculation begin: and we will start it off with ours this week on the...

The 2022 NFL Crapshooter, I mean NFL Draft begins on Thursday, April 28, and the Vikings hold the 12th selection of the first round in that draft. That is as much certainty as we can safely predict at the time of this writing. What will the Vikings do with the 12th overall pick? Will they trade up to grab the player they want? We can pretty much speculate that they won’t trade down with the pick t...

The folks at the Vikings Territory Breakdown podcast have you covered. Mark Craig from the Star Tribune and Joe Oberle from VikingsTerritory.com discuss the players returning to TCO Performance Center and look ahead to the Draft. They will break down the Vikings' roster needs and try to predict whom general manager Kwesi Adolfo-Mensah will select with his first draft in his new position. Can we ex...

And we will talk about that on the Vikings Territory Breakdown podcast with Mark Craig from the Star Tribune and Joe Oberle from puplePSTD.com and VikingsTerritory.com . We will also talk about the offensive line—specifically at the right guard position, a problem situation that the Vikings’ new regime has been busy trying to rectify and rebuild. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.a...

But Mark Craig from the Star Tribune joins Joe Oberle from purplePTSD.com to sort it all out on the Vikings Territory Breakdown podcast. Neither one of them is named Davis, so don’t expect them to be vying for a crack at the RG position, but count on them to venture some speculation as to who might win it. The Vikings, amazingly, still have some cap room left as time for the NFL Draft nears, and w...

Co host Joe Oberle and Star Tribune's Mark Craig talk all the free agency moves for the Vikings. Who the Vikings signed? Who they kept (and lost)? What and who happens next?

Co host Joe Oberle and The Star Tribune's Mark Craig talk the free agency tampering period is here (which is one the silliest things going—just open up free agency on Monday and let ‘er rip). But then the NFL has never been one for drawing a line and sticking to it (e.g. there will be no gambling in the NFL!) unless, of course, it has to do with giving Colin Kaepernick a job. But that’s another qu...

Co-host Joe Oberle and Star Tribunes Mark Craig talk new coaching staff and what the NFL combine might bring the Vikings. Craig will look at the Vikings new coaching staff (led by Kevin O’Connell) and offer his ideas of the team’s top three needs in the draft for the coming season—and there are likely more needs, as well. Mark will also examine what the new offensive and defensive coordinators (We...

KOC Racing to Catch Up—And it Starts With Kirk Still, the Vikings under new GM Kwesi Adolfo Mensah were not sitting idly by while KOC was high-fiving his former players and drinking champagne in the back of a parade car. They were interviewing plenty of new staff members and were ready to bring them aboard just as soon as KOC was in place. Mark Craig from the Star Tribune and Joe Oberle, senior wr...

The Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-16 in the Super Bowl last Sunday. That is the headline, but there are so many other sub-plots to recognize. Matthew Stafford left Detroit and got a ring (while his fellow Detroiter Eminem followed him to LA and knelt in honor of Colin Kaepernick—good on ya, mate), Rams owner Stan Kroenke build a winning team through trades and free agency (and ho...

Co-host Joe Oberle and Star Tribune's Mark Craig talk: The NFL hosted its (nearly) annual AFC-NFC Pro Bowl game this past weekend and I woke up from my third quarter nap in time to watch Vikings running back Dalvin Cook score on a late touchdown reception. He appeared to keep the football (I am thinking it was his first Pro Bowl TD). The game apparently meant more to the players, who seemed to be...

Joe Oberle and Mark Craig Post Conference Round Podcast Topics A season to remember. I Hate to see the season coming to an end. Only one game left. Kwesi Adolfo-Mensah was named right after left the air last week. Is the right man for the job?

Wild Weekend of NFL Games Arrives a Week Later Two weekends ago the NFL held its Wild Card Weekend, which we called a misnomer due to several blowouts and games that were anything but wild. Well, the playoffs made up for it this past weekend when the Divisional Round of the playoffs were as “wild” as anything we have ever seen in the modern era. There were four Divisional playoff games and each ca...

Poorly Named “Wild Card” weekend features Blow Outs and Blown Calls The NFL Wild Card weekend wasn’t very wild last weekend. Of the six games played, five of the home teams won and the other game—between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys—was a flag-filled slog that eventually came down to the last play that never took place. The other games feature blowouts and lent credence to the th...

Joe Oberle and Mark Craig talk about the Black Monday after win against the bears. The Vikings beat the Chicago Bears in their 2021 season finale at U.S. Bank Stadium by the score of 31-17 but there was almost no joy in Mudville. The win, which included perhaps the Vikings best second half of the season, serves only to give them a lower draft pick (by one position), come up short of record numbers...

But we all knew this was coming. The Packers have been ascending while the Vikings’ ship sprung leaks and has been bobbing in rough waters, waiting to submerge. The fact that the Packers got to plunder them again while the Vikings are cast under a raging sea of uncertainty is just more bitter, salty water for the Purple fan base to swallow. The Purple faithful must wander another arid offseason wi...

Vikings Territory Breakdown Co-host Joe Oberle and the Star Tribunes Mark Craig talk win over Steelers and look forward to the Bears. All season long, Minnesota Vikings fans have watched their favorite team build leads of at least a touchdown only to watch them to disappear and lead, more than once, to losses. But never in this season of gain and loss have we seen what happened last Thursday night...
