Thousands of young elementary school kids getting into football now and I'll bet more than half of them will fall in love with this team. GREAT to see such a young fan base increase for the Vikings. Lets do it for all the youngsters and show them what hard work is all about!!! !
Vikings, back up Brink Truck and double and triple every starters intake. Be ready for being a NFL Hitlist, with JJ McCarthy under Sam Donald by the leadership of GM KAM and Coach KOC, be ready to be seven Super Bowl Champions. Vikings worth will triple! NFL Titles for the Vikings in Ten years not just one this year!
Integrating Cam Robinson, Cam Akers, and TJ Hockenson into the offence, plus Addison catching up on the 8 weeks he missed, and Sam getting right on top of the playbook are reasons why the Vikes offence has taken a little time to really come together. It just gets better from week to week. Remember when Sam was struggling to get plays in on time during the first 5 or 6 games?
You got what you got. Make your run. Hopefully we get the ring. After all is said and done, let Darnold get paid because he’s earned it. Don’t get into another Cousins contract though. We need to have money to spend in other areas. We are paying a wide receiver quarterback money (just about). We need to keep quarterback money down if we are going to play the moneyball game like it seems we are. Love Darnold and, if I was him I would stay but, if he wants to get paid, we have to say goodbye after the year. Let’s just enjoy it!
Kwesi doesn't sign those Cousin's deals. Never has. Let that paranoia die with the Spielman era. It took Kwesi 2 off-seasons to get Kirk's deal to a place he could get out of, and Kirk didn't want to take the next deal phasing him out, Kwesi called time, and took the dead cap hit.
@ I don’t remember saying it was Kwesi. Cousins is the reason Zimmer and Spielman had so much friction at the end. All I was saying is we don’t need to cash strap ourselves when we have a rookie contract that we drafted sitting there
@@JayferRattrap Exactly. What would make you think or imply that Kwesi would make a Spielman mistake, when he has spent his first 3 seasons undoing them? Kwesi has signed over 100 players now and none of them have had contracts that are remotely like the Cousins, or Hunter, or Thielen ones. The salary cap situation is significantly different than you imply. . Jefferson's salary cap hit in 2025 is $15m - that is not QB money. Kwesi has an estimated $76m to spend in other areas, granted some of that will likely go in extensions to Bynum, Murphy etc. If Kwesi extended Sam his 2025 cap hit would likely end up in the $15-25m range. That could still leave Kwesi with about $20m more cap space in 2025 than he did in 2024 when he added Greenard, AVG, Cashman, Jones, Darnold and 10 or so other guys - so that is not a problem. The 2025 cap hit would almost be the same if he let Sam walk because Sam would immediately incur a $5m dead cap hit in 2025, and Kwesi would probably extend Daniel Jones for about $10m as a bridge back up for JJ. The tag is less flexible, but as you note, Sam likes being a Viking, and also knows what it's like to be a shitshow, so being at a great organisation, with great coaching and on a winning team that believes in him, should carry a lot of weight. Kwesi can make him stay with the tag, but I think Sam would want to stay, so they should be able to hammer out an extension. I doubt Kwesi will just let him walk though. At some point Kwesi and KOC can decide whether they want to keep Sam or JJ, but that doesn't need to be for a year or two. Kwesi should be able to trade the other one for multiple premium draft picks - that will set the roster up for the one they keep, much more than $10m extra in cap space in 2025. skol!
@ dude you are fighting with the wrong guy. Never said anything about the dude until you brought him up. All I was doing was making a simple statement and trying to calm down the people who think signing Darnold to a big contract is a good idea.
I have faith that at least one of the Bills, Bears at Soldier and 49ers in SF will at worst give the Vikes a chance. Not scared of the Bears, Packers or Lions. That trip to Seattle looks the trickiest - their D is solid.
KOC is the epitome of common sense. I wonder if he has anyone creative in his circle. He reminds me of Denny green with emotional control. Maybe Tice with a new generation personality. He would do well to study Mike McDaniel and Andy Reid to innovate he’s ready to make a new paradigm. Lock him up.
I would not put any money on that. How many top 10 QBs can you remember just walking away from a team after a great season?? The Packers built their current roster on picks from trading Rodgers. Lions on the Stafford trade, Seahawks on the Wilson trade, Texans on the Watson trade. And you think Kwesi will let the most important asset in the NFL - a top 10 QB - walk out the door for nothing...
@@KGB5910 If Sam leaves in FA the Vikes will get nothing. That's what happens, lol. You don't need to say anything, lol. You tell me you don't have a clue how the process works by not saying it, lol. To hear how crazy Vikes fans that re happy to let Sam walk are - just imagine if it was another team letting their top 10 QB walk. If Chiefs fans were happy not to extend Mahomes, or Bills letting Allen walk, or Chargers letting Herbert walk for nothing. Vikes fans would think they were nuts. Welcome to the mirror.
We need our best football in January!
He'll say that when January hits
One game at a time....
We need our best football in February
That's the idea, we're getting to that, but that's not where we're at.
@@lunatune3714!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Sammy 👏Good luck Monday night coach and team 🍀🤞!
Great to see hard work paying off! Coach and quarterback of the year!!
Great job coach K. So proud of your hard work.
Fav coach in my lifetime
I love when KOC has funny comments about himself. He's such a good young man. I want him to be here for many, many years even when I'm not around.
You’ll be here for many many more years my friend

Go vikes!!!!! Love since 98
Need that sweater!! Got my winter warrior jersey for Monday!! SKOL
Love our coach
Thank you that we can hear the questions 🙂
KEVIN AND BRIAN WILL TAKE THE VIKINGS TO VALHALLA
I’m hoping New Orleans
I mean... I would prefer if our guys didn't die in battle... But... 😅
so funny that he talks about the dance moves on the team...let the guys have fun
Love our UDFAs Richter scale, Tai, Murphy, Redmen, Jamin, Pacejr
Jamin Davis was a 1st round pick for the Commanders, if that's who you mean.
Koc!!!
Can’t be stopped
Let's SKOL!!!
If JJ can play half as good as Sam has... We will be very lucky.
Only concern i actually have for JJ is his knee cap but yeah I am in favor of him sitting while he can do physical reps
Must keep: Sam, Gink, JJ+JA, and KoC
Yup January's the time to lay down the hammer 🔨 #SKOL2THEBOWL 🏆
We're gonna do it! Make toys outa those bears!💜💛💜💛💜
thats a cold ass hat
HI FIRST SHOUTOUT VIKORD
Coach is dialed in
Lets see a good finish, not letting the Bears get a chance to come back during garbage time. My heart can't take it anymore.
Let's win out and go 15-2

SKOL!!!!
This whole Defensive roster is going to end up contributing to these wins
Can't wait to see 👀👀 Levi Drake get pressure & some hits maybe some TFLs 😝
He is one guy I don't think we'll see this season. Taimani has taken that spot.

Play your best game at home and never let the Bears get a win fight like heck Skol Vikings
anybody know where a guy can purchase that shirt KOC is wearing in this interview? or is this a team exclusive? really like this one!
SKOL KOC
REAL VIKINGS FAN HERE WE NEED THAT 2017 REMATCH W THE EAGLES WE TBH WE WILL WORRY ABOUT DETROIT NEXT YEAR 🤣🤣🤣😂😂💯
Y.ep, K.O. is right. The boys are playing great football. But I don’t think that they have peaked yet. SKOL
Skol Vikings... Keep Sam Darnold and trade JJ McCarthy. He's earned the right to be the franchise quarterback.
Y’all clearly hear him saying jj McCarthy knee getting better physical activities and learning l faster koc the best coach to me !
Be prepared I love my vikings but I sense it coming down to tht last game at Detroit and I hope we beat them 💯 🙏
I have faith that at least one of the Bills, Bears at Soldier and 49ers in SF will at worst give the Vikes a chance. Not scared of the Bears, Packers or Lions. That trip to Seattle looks the trickiest - their D is solid.
@@robe2504 I kno
Hopefully last Sunday wasn’t too emotionally expensive
LFG KO!!!!
I want eagles to lose to Pittsburgh and lions loss to bills
Plus a Packers loss to the Seahawks
And follow next week with and Eagles loss to the Commanders, and a Lions loss at Soldier field.
Just go put that Bear to bed for winter!!!😂
Or rile it up a bit further so that it goes home and hijacks the Lions next week.
Need Ivan the Terrible back...

Id like to see USADA test for positive energy
Man his answers are all like 8 min long 😅
I bet they let Sam go and we have Daniel Jones next year.
I hope not man
