With the departure of Davante Adams, Green Bay doesn't look as scary as they once did within the NFC North. That's opening the door for a new division champ and 2flyyJJ says it could be the Vikings. FrontOffice33 | Skol
during that time. However, this upcoming season feels different. After the departure of wide receiver Davante Adams, the Packers don’t look like the same caliber of team that we have come to expect. As Green Bay was turned into a media circus, the Vikings went to work, building a roster that could knock quarterback Aaron Rodgers off his pedestal and bring home their second division title in five years.
After the Vikings’ disappointing 2021 season, Head Coach Kevin O’Connell was brought in to try and steer the ship in the right direction. Minnesota has found its guy, given his recent success with quarterback Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles. Before making the move to coaching, O’Connell was a third-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2008, brought in to back up Tom Brady. After his time in New England was done, O’Connell bounced around the league before picking up coaching in 2015. He had brief stints with the Browns and 49ers before finding a home in Washington prior to Ron Rivera’s arrival. He then eventually landed with the Los Angeles Rams, where he mentored the aforementioned Stafford.
It seems O’Connell could be the perfect man to get Minnesota back to the postseason. The Vikings roster will allow him to feature bunches and stacks for his receivers still, and running back Dalvin Cook can excel in a wide-zone scheme. And the Vikings didn’t just improve their coaching staff this offseason; they also added veteran players like linebackers Jordan Hicks and Za’Darius Smith and defensive tackle Harrison Phillips in free agency. These signings all have the chance to significantly help the team, especially in clutch-time, which Minnesota struggled with last season. Eight of their nine losses were only one-possession games.
