Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 026 – In The Raw – Tag Teaming It
Good morning Horners! Or afternoon as the case may be, but join me and Ted, better known as the purplebuckeye, as we break down what we saw and felt watching the Minnesota Vikings defeat the New York Jets. Unfortunately, Drew was not able to be with us this evening due to technical issues. He was muttering something about Chinese hackers at the end of the game messing with his computer.
In this episode of "In The Raw" we discussed the tag teaming effort it took by the Vikings to overcome injuries and weather conditions in the New Jersey swamp that is Met Life Stadium. Everson Griffin being out [hopefully not for long], Stephen Weatherly filling in so that Danielle Hunter can move over to the left side and continue his streak of a sack in every game this season. It was questionable whether he got a full sack today or just 1/2 sack, but it was a sack. A good part of that was what Sheldon Richardson was doing to cause havoc in the pocket. Then take Tom Johnson in for the injured Linval Joseph, and making his presence felt. That whole defensive front four was an exhibit for how you can tag team in when needed. Not to be left out, the defensive secondary took some hits as well and we saw Xavior Rhodes leave the game with some sort of ankle issue. In came Holton Hill ["Cypress"] and promptly snapped up his first interception of his NFL career.
Speaking of streaks, Adam Thielen continued his with his seventh game of the season catching over 100 yards. He has now tied Charley Hennigan of the 1961 Houston Oilers, when it was an old AFL team, for consecutive games with 100 yards or more to open a season. Aldrick Robinson and Brandon Zylstra also got in on the tag teaming with Robinson catching his 4th touchdown of the season and Brandon getting his first NFL catch.
In what was a windy day the cause problems both in the passing and kicking games, good game planning and execution [for enough of the game] held out, in the Vikings 20 point victory. A first time ever for this organization to beat the Jets on their home field. It was truly an exhibition on the importance to be able to tag team with players and game plan on both sides of the ball. Ted and I enjoyed laughing and talking about the game and mixing in a few stories of old. Not quite the exhibition the Vikings put on, but humorous and fun to watch. Join us, and tell us what to think.

Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 025 – Vikings Finding Rhythm
Good morning Horners! Dave here, and Drew, Ted and I got together to look at the win over the Arizona Cardinals one last time, and ahead to the trip to play the New York Jets. Did you know that we have only played the Jets 10 times in Vikings history, and only won twice? That seems remarkable. Never in New York/New Jersey. Wow! There’s some trivia for you.
Ted gives us his impression of the squad last week, what he liked and what worried him a bit, but his overall happiness of the win. He goes onto discuss the gameplan and what the team needs to do coming ahead in the next 3 game stretch, and the 3 games after that. That results in the Reverend Drew’s sermon on how you “Gotta Have Faith.” Preach it, Drew!
Drew gets into his numbers. My favorite being that the Vikings are number 1 in 3rd down defense. Yeah, baby! We talk about the possible causes for ACL injury increases, as we lament Mike Hughes’ rookie season coming to an end. Is it the 27 yard line?
We break down the Jets, talking offense versus defense, and vice versa. Overall though, it was fun and there were lots of laughs, some colorful descriptions, Drew singing and some good football talk headed your way.

Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 024 – In The Raw – Vikes Got The “W”
Good morning Horners! Dave here, and Drew and I come at you after the game where the Minnesota Vikings got the win over the Arizona Cardinals. It is always nice to get a fresh game reaction and after this victory, and this is no different. We had an outstanding day from Adam Thielen [the best wide receiver in the league in 2018], Danielle Hunter with his two sacks, Latavius Murray having a career day and helping generate an actual running game, and then there was Anthony Harris and George Iloka combining in a fine effort in replacement Andrew Sendejo. Oh, and Dan Bailey made every kick. “How ‘bout that?!”
We did spot some things for improvement, like the need to get over the Mike Zimmer lack of a control or domination late in the game. We are curious about how you think on that point. We lamented losing the young star in the making Mike Hughes to a popped ACL. Then, ask about the offensive line. Ugh! Do we have to live with that all season?
Overall though, it was fun and there were lots of laughs, some colorful descriptions, and some good football talk headed your way.

Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 023 – Canadians & Cardinals
Good morning Horners! Dave here, and do we have a special show for you today. A good friend of the show, someone you may have read on Grant’s Tomb and Kick Ass Blog years ago for his Vikings takes, Mr. Darren “Soup” Campbell joins Drew and me from the far reaches of Canada. We touched on the victory of the Minnesota Vikings over the Philadelphia Eagles before moving onto Sunday’s game at US Bank Stadium against the Arizona Cardinals.
Darren praises fan offers over the years like here Climbing the Pocket Network and the Daily Norseman. Talks about Canadian beer, making hay, and the differences in the defenses from 2017 versus 2018 teams. “Does missing Terrance Newman explain the difference?” He is confident in Kirk Cousins and the offenses’ passing game. Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, and Laquon Treadwell, and where they rank in a particular set of advanced statistics, which has all three of scratching our heads with incredulity. Then it is onto banter over the Cardinals and what to expect. It seems we need to appreciate how well Chandler Jones has been standing out in red. …Good to know.
There are lots of laughs, some colorful descriptions, and some good football talk headed your way.
