Vikings playcalling vs. execution: The Real Forno Show

What do we make about the Vikings play calling? The Real Forno Show breaks that down and more.

The Minnesota Vikings sit at 6-6 entering the bye week and there has been a lot of discussion concerning the play-calling. Is there an issue with Kevin O’Connell’s ability to call plays?

Does Josh Dobbs make the Vikings a contender? The Real Forno Show

The Real Forno Show looks at the success of Josh Dobbs and if he makes the Minnesota Vikings a contender

The Minnesota Vikings are arguably the most interesting and fascinating team in the National Football League.

After losing wide receiver Justin Jefferson to injury, starting quarterback Kirk Cousins ruptured his Achilles tendon and the Vikings season looked over as it was just getting started.

The Vikings traded for Josh Dobbs, which was essentially free, and they have extended their winning streak to five games. The real question here is this.

Does Dobbs make the Vikings a real contender in the NFC?

It’s a complicated one, especially since Dobbs has been a journeyman quarterback for his entire career since being a fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017. Is this another Case Keenum situation or potentially more than that?

Kevin O’Connell the next offensive genius? The Real Forno Show

The latest episode of The Real Forno Show discusses Kevin O’Connell’s role and genius in the Vikings excellent win on Sunday

The Minnesota Vikings finding a way to win against the Atlanta Falcons was not supposed to happen, but the team never gave up or even thought about quitting. That and their performance is a testament to head coach Kevin O’Connell and the culture that he instilled.

What can we draw from this game? Is O’Connell the next offensive genius? We know that he was transcribing plays for Josh Dobbs presnap so he knew what to look for. Pair that with calling a great game and it’s a conversation that needs to be had.

What happens at the quarterback position? Jaren Hall was playing really well before he suffered a concussion. Being that he’s a rookie, what should the Vikings do? Is his play going to be similar enough to Dobbs that you default to the rookie so you can see what he has?

Lastly, Caleb Williams cried after the game against Washington. Why is it not just okay, but also a positive sign to see from the potential number one overall pick?
