Summary
Host Ian Hartitz is joined by Vikings reporter at Purple Insider Matthew Coller in part 15 of the PFF Fantasy Football Podcast 32 for 32 series. The guys start off by discussing the Vikings' top-three needs and defense is unsurprisingly at the forefront of the conversation. Matthew identifies the defensive line as primary team need, while the cornerback room could also use an upgrade or three. The offensive line, particularly guard, is also another spot that should be addressed throughout free agency and/or the draft. The guys move along to discussions surrounding the potential for a Kirk Cousins trade, just how locked in is Alexander Mattison as Dalvin Cook's three-down handcuff, who will be more productive in 2021 between Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, if it's finally Irv Smith szn, and much more.

| 0:07.0 | Hello and welcome to PFF Fancy football podcast. I'm your host Ian |
| 0:11.3 | Hardison today. We continue our three for two for 32 series with a look at the |
| 0:15.3 | Minnesota Vikings seven and nine last year. Anyone's idea of this point |
| 0:19.2 | and considering some of the firepower they had on offense. But unfortunately, |
| 0:22.3 | this was one of the more lopsided teams in the league when it came to having a |
| 0:24.8 | great offense and a horrifically bad defense at times. One and five |
| 0:28.8 | start the year starting to get things going in the midway section and |
| 0:31.6 | unfortunately, a one and three finish to end things given up 26, 33, 52 and |
| 0:36.8 | 35 points along the way. So plenty of work to do obviously on the defensive side |
| 0:40.0 | of the ball, but also awesome moving pieces on offense. So lots of talk to |
| 0:43.6 | you and I have a very special guest on to help me do so he covers the Vikings |
| 0:46.4 | at purple insider, which you can find at purple insider dot sub stack dot com |
| 0:51.0 | Matthew caller who you can also follow on Twitter at Matthew caller. Matt |
| 0:55.0 | happy offseason and thanks for the time man. Yeah, I think you summed it up pretty |
| 0:58.4 | well when you said 52. That was kind of the if you're giving up six touchdowns |
| 1:03.1 | to one player and 52 points, you're probably not having a great season. |
| 1:07.1 | Man, it was funny like in August or whatever they asked my Ximera saying, Hey, |
| 1:10.8 | you know, you lost all your cornerbacks, a lot of missing pieces with, you |
| 1:14.8 | know, 100 being a question as well. Like what do you think? And Ximera's |
| 1:17.6 | response is basically like, well, I've never had a bad defense. I don't plan |
| 1:20.6 | on starting now. My Ximera has now had one bad defense in his coaching career. |
