Questions Answered: Ifeadi Odenigbo Obtainable, Blizting Once more, the Damage Report

Q: Do you count on the Vikings to peek at Ifeadi Odenigbo after the Colts launched him on Tuesday?

A: No.

The Vikings don’t give Patrick Jones sufficient snaps as a result of Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius hog many of the workload — rightfully so — making an Odenigbo reunion unlikely. Nonetheless, Odenigbo did play for the Cleveland Browns final 12 months, which is the place Vikings basic supervisor Kwesi Adofo-Mensah labored in 2021.

And Odenigbo performed marvelously final weekend in opposition to the Vikings, notching a blocked punt and sack. His launch from Indianapolis was fairly odd.

Nonetheless, don’t count on the Vikings to onboard Odenigbo, as there isn’t a current want for an extra move rusher.

Q: Will the Vikings blitz the Giants this weekend, because it appeared to work in opposition to the Colts?

A: Sure.

After the Vikings loss to Detroit, Kevin O’Connell vocally known as for a change. He hadn’t actually executed that till shedding to the Lions. Evidently, Donatell’s response was to place a bit of warmth on Matt Ryan in Week 15, and wouldn’t you understand it, Minnesota showcased its greatest defensive recreation since Week 9.

There isn’t a motive for the Vikings to return to “the outdated approach” sans a blitz as a result of opposing groups gauged them repeatedly.

Let it rip with the blitz.

Q: Is the Vikings damage report as dangerous as current weeks?

A: No, the damage report doesn’t look half-bad.

Garrett Bradbury is trending towards one other absence, presumably nominating Austin Schlottmann for one more begin. However Bradbury was the one man to overlook follow on Tuesday.

Linebacker Brian Asamoah and Eric Kendricks had been restricted, however each males will probably play in opposition to the Giants.

So, general, no, the damage report doesn’t look too damning.
