Summer vacation has officially begun for Minnesota Fightin' Vikings, but we're still here cranking out #content... Well. Sorta. Here's a repurposed collection of clips from our YouTube Channel. We talked about 'if the other QBs had to start', why the first seven games of the season are important, Vikings should PAY Harrison Smith, why Kirk Cousins will benefit mightily from more play-action, the future of Linval Joseph, Steve Jordan going in the Ring of Honor, and the WR3 competition post mini-camp.

We hope Kirk Cousins doesn't give into peer pressure and enter the NFC North Quarterback Beer Chugging Contest (because we think he'd be really bad at it). Then we look at the best and worst moves of each NFC North team, make the case for the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings to give former Niner Anthony Davis a shot, plus we talk Vikings analytics with Austin Gayle (@PFF_AustinGayle) of Pro Football Focus.
