Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 021 – The Pesky Birds
It is been a long mini-bye week, both for the Vikings and for Good Morning Gjallarhorn. The Vikings may be dealing with an old entire defensive scheme, then again, they may not, but just are dealing with poor play. Here at the DMG production studios, however, we are dealing with old equipment that decided to act up. Sort of like how Xavier Rhodes kicked the flag last week. Everything's back operating, but not quite yet as smoothly as we'd like. Hopefully that changes against the Eagles.
In this episode Drew and I discuss various scenarios leading this game. Philadelphia, at least some of the hooligans there, decided to topple a Viking statue and throw it in the river. They're hoping to change their early-season luck as is the Vikings themselves. Drew discusses this is a revenge game, maybe so, but I think it is a more finding this season's team identity and rallying around that.
We both expect a big day from Kirk Cousins. The Philadelphia Eagles have the number one ranked run defense going against the 32nd -ranked running game. Those are not good numbers, and they mean Capt. Mick dreamy will be throwing the ball a lot. One of the interesting statistics that you brought up is how Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs, and Kyle Rudolph are on pace for a monster season. That would be very nice, but a little successful running game would help too.
Last year, the Minnesota Vikings got embarrassed in the NFC Championship Game. This year hopefully they make it a much different story.

Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 020 – The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Good morning Horners! GMG – In The Raw. Hey everybody, we gather on this auspicious occasion to discuss losing to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. The game was actually entertaining in the fact that there was lots of scoring taking place. Now if you get into defense, like we as Vikings fans have come accustomed to, it was extremely disappointing on both sides. The Rams are known for their good defense too, but neither defenses could outshine the performances by the offenses. That being said, let's get into the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good – Kirk Cousins threw for well over 400 yards, 422 to be exact, it was nearly spot on all night. Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs both combined for over 100 yards receiving each in a total of 258 yards. Kyle Rudolph had another five catches for 57 yards, and even look, Laquon Treadwell, caught everything thrown his way except for one pass. …And, the new guy, Aldrick Robinson even got into the act catching 2 touchdowns. Captain Kirk got the ball to 9 different receivers on the night with no interceptions. The passing game was humming.
The bad – the Vikings running game was damn near anemic. When you're leading rusher is your quarterback, who is not known to be a running quarterback, you have problems. Dalvin Cook could only muster 20 yards on 10 carries. This coming off a hamstring pull explain the low 2.0 yards per carry? I think not. It likely comes from the inability of the offensive line to push a very good defensive line off the ball. It was good to see Pat Elflein back out there though. A total of 54 yards on the night, is not going to hack it is the Vikings plan to win in the future.
The ugly – the vaunted "Zim Reapers" defense has seemed to have fallen apart, and this has been a trend since the second half of the Saints game last year. It looks like assignments were blown by Mackensie Alexander, along with Xavier Rhodes looking undisciplined, and even the safeties being out of position at times. When you're leading tackler is a rookie that doesn't play 100% of the snaps, as was this case with Mike Hughes, something is wrong. Stephen Weatherly got the most pressures on the defensive line, and there was only one sack [Danielle Hunter] all night in a very uncharacteristic rushing performance. Everson Griffen being out is not enough to explain how Jared Goff had all night to have the best performance of his career throwing 5 touchdowns and 465 yards. Anthony Barr continued to look apathetic when chasing receivers that beat him on routes directly leading to 3 of the 5 TDs. …There is definitely something wrong there. Mike Zimmer and his vaunted defense looks like opposition teams now have his playbook and there are members on that D, that don't care. We know this isn't true, but fans and reporters are starting to question it, as well as Coach Zimmer himself.
The Vikings now have over a week to figure everything out before going to Philadelphia to avenge their embarrassing loss in the NFC Championship Game from last year. Let us all hope, that they do.

Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 019 – Darkness to Light – Beat the Rams
Good morning Horners! From darkness to light, the week started out with Minnesota Vikings fans licking their wounds after being stampeded by The Buffalo Bills. What is a bill anyway, something on the face of a duck, or a name of a good friend? [...But I digress.] Then came the disturbing news about Everson Griffen, which is sad, and us here at GMG hopes that he gets help and well. Definitely a dark start.
The next day, the sun came up and things started to lighten up. Drew and I do the same in the show and brighten things up and check out the good news around us. It's a new week and the team will do a quick turn and fly out to beat the Los Angeles Rams.
The Ram can be beaten, and here's why: Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters will be out and are leaving the outside routes open for exploitation. Coach Mike Zimmer announced that Pat Elflein will start. Ryan Reiff could play after an ankle injury... we'll find out. Same for David Morgan, which will be good for Dalvin Cook on his return, and the run game overall. That means, all of the Vikings starters will finally be back on the offense and only Griffen will be missing on the defense. The Vikes are a good football team who just got nose bloodied and in a short week will be playing with a chip on their shoulder to prove it. They are a 7 point underdog and tend to play better that way.
Plus, we get into Ted Glover's fun secret assignment. It probably involves alcohol and traveling, not necessarily in that order.
