Summary

Matthew Coller gets together with Pro Football Focus's Eric Eager to talk about why the Vikings have so much talent and yet can't seem to put it all together on a weekly basis. Should we be looking at the overall coaching philosophy and lack of aggressiveness or is Kirk Cousins's style not jell with that type of offense? What roster issues have the Vikings created for themselves that have led to an offensive line that still can't protect Cousins against good defensive line. Since Cousins has played well but he hasn't received great support, does that suggest he could end up here long term? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
