No Hockinson, no Addison, No Jefferson, no Aaron Jones. Up by only 6. We need a final drive. Sammy Dimes Delivers against the best team in the NFC. High level playing. He's playing out of his mind. It's a good time to be a Vikings fan. We should get healthy in a couple weeks and have everyone back going. Hopefully. 🤞🤞

That 97 yard throw literally landed right on the center of the logo crazy 😂

Dude, great analysis! This kinda video really helps show me how these plays are designed and how well Darnold is executing. I never played football growing up so it's fun to get an inside look at what's going through the mind of the QB as the plays develop!

I've been waiting for Sam to get a decent team that doesn't allow 4 sacks per game,
and WRs that don''t slip for too long.
Finally, he get a really fair chance to prove himself.

Darnold is great. He does have a very good play fake but he should watch Favre's play fake film and improve even more. One of the main reasons Favre was so good was because his play fakes were so convincing. Favre would stretch the ball out with an exagerated handoff, put the ball in the runner's stomach, then pull it out and double over with the ball in his gut so nobody could see the ball for a little bit, then wait ... and pop up and pass. It's theatre. When you do hand the ball off, use the exact same motion. Meanwhile, other QB's (cough Daunte Culpepper) were play-faking a handoff with an empty hand while their throwing hand was just holding the ball in plain sight. Darnold has the tools to be as good or better than anybody. If he tweaks his play-fakes just a little bit, his receivers will be more open every time he throws the ball.

That last drive was so impressive. Drive the field to take a 2 possession lead, while eating up over 6 minutes. Did all that with the back ups against the nfc champs. No JJ, Addison or Hockenson. Let’s keep rollin Sammy SKOL

Love the video and analysis. I can already see the little things that make Sam different than Kirk. On the TD throw to JJ, Sam has pressure behind him, in the back of the end zone. He steps forward, resets his feet, and throws the bomb to JJ. Kirk was incredibly accurate, but wasn't particularly proficient at navigating pressure and maneuvering a moving pocket while keeping his eyes downfield. It is different with Sam. Look at Mahomes, Herbert, or any of the great QB's all make slight adjustments to give them an extra second or two to throw. Another thing about Sam, is he has an internal clock. Meaning, after three seconds, he's going to run (if nobody open and daylight ahead of him) or he's going to throw it away. At times, it sure didn't seem like Kirk had that internal clock. These little things may not seem like much, but I think they make a big difference.

Thank you so much for the very thorough, & in-depth look at this game. It actually made me more of a believer & less cynical after watching. As a Vikings fan who resides in Tucson, it's pretty difficult to get this kind of content. Just really fuckin appreciate this man! Keep it up

[theycallmebruce]

Thank you so much for your analysis!!! First time watcher and it was fantastic!! The speed of the game live is insane so thank you for breaking it down and giving the facts!!

[rbu]

Really like your break downs. Just watched back to back. Well done.

[adambarlow]

I mean, yeah he has had 2 INT, but his 2nd was picked by pretty much the best linebacker in the league (Warner) and that was a pretty crazy pick, I wasn't even mad, just enjoyed that moment as a pure NFL fan.

[vikesca]

I really like what your doing, no one else is really doing football this way. It would be great if you talked about coverages, blocking schemes and like why the offense is running the route combos ased on the defensive looks. This was your giving a complete picture. Keep it up, I watch every one of your videos.

[PGHobbes]

Your videos are great man. Just straight to the point with great explanations and analysis. Just tremendous stuff

I had to agonize over the way Darnold was treated in Carolina. While I’m a Panthers fan, I know how they treated Darnold I’m sorry he was just another victim of Tepper incompetence. I AM SO HAPPY FOR SAM DARNOLD! I hope he kills it this year! Best of luck Sam, I pull for you and you look GREAT!

[notawaffle]

that throw at 9:51 is absolutely nuts.
Also the blocking at 7:24 is amazing. #67 does a good job switching off his block and then flattening #56, while #64 deliberately lets his man cut up on the outside so Sam has room to step up and run down the middle.

[thomasbeach]

Love it, love it, love it! Excellent video!

[TailicaiCorporation]

Darnold threw that pass to Jettas over 50 yards… and it didn’t even look difficult.

[MTGFaded]

I think the int against the 49ers was a little shaky on the decision making, but also an unbelievable play by the best linebacker on planet earth in Fred Warner. however the int in the giants game isn’t really darnolds fault as he got blasted as he threw that ball

[rogerwa]

I'm impressed by how fast the ball comes out. Sam's windup is very quick. Additionally his pocket presence is very good. he feels the heat and can get out of the kitchen. I kept saying Kirk would have been sacked.

[Financere]

looking at this u can see that darnold could be an elite quarterback he makes very fast reads and he gets the ball where it needs to be fast, he can run well i mean i dont see the bad darnold anywhere he looks completely remade. i mean he deserves to be qb1 for the vikings no doubt he keeps playing this way he may be mvp outstanding darnold glad he is really coming to play this year.
