Backward Steps | Two Old Bloggers🎙

August 22, 2022 14:43 - 1 hour - 67.9 MB

The Minnesota Vikings played the San Francisco 49ers last night and even though it mainly the 2’s and 3’s squaring up, it wasn’t what Vikings fans had hoped for in the only home game of the preseason. It was a real snoozer of a game that saw backward steps in the progress of Kellen Mond as a QB2. Sean Mannion was pure Mannion and now the biggest question of the game is if the Vikings bring in some other quarterback to backup Kirk Cousins?  There were some good performances though from the ba...

Players are battling for roster spots and trying to prove that they need to be kept on the roster. There are some rookies that want to make a case for starting. It looks like Ed Ingram may have locked down the starting right guard spot. Can he cement that conclusion? Lewis Cine has been getting it but is still a half step slow adjusting to ...

The Minnesota Vikings have finished their first preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders and things are coming into focus. There are players like Ed Ingram, T.Y. McGill, Brian Asamoah, Kene Nwangwu, and more who had impressive performances. Other players like Sean Mannion, Jesse Davis, Josh Metellus, and Troy Dye, not so much. Kellen Mond showed some progress in his development, but is it enough to win the backup quarterback job? On tonight's The Real Forno Show, we will be discussing it ...

Mond, Mond, Mond | Two Old Bloggers🎙

August 15, 2022 13:58 - 1 hour - 57 MB

The Minnesota Vikings have travelled to meet the Las Vegas Raiders in their new digs. Football is back, even if it is only the first preseason game. Kirk Cousins sits home because he’s ill. No biggie because he wasn’t going to play much anyways for his protection. That gives Vikings fans a good chance to see Kellen Mond with the first team, right? Nope, Sean Mannion will be getting the start. Mond, Mond, Mond, are you not even good enough to surpass Mannion? This worries fans and tempts the f...

Vikings Depth Chart “OR”? | Vikings Happy Hour🍻

August 11, 2022 13:25 - 1 hour - 61.1 MB

Hey all! Vikings Happy Hour is back and we’re stoked that our first preseason game is just around the corner, but first… Craig Peters, the senior editor for Vikings dot com wrote and published the first unofficial depth chart of the 2022 season. Most of the depth chart isn’t surprising, but there was a word used in an odd and unusual way. There were two positions with a capitalized “OR”. The first one was at quarterback, “Kellen Mond OR Sean Mannion” and at wide receiver, “Trishton Jackson OR...

Mond & Bradbury Disappoint | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈

August 09, 2022 12:23 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MB

We're now in week 3 of training camp, and the Minnesota Vikings are preparing to face the Las Vegas Raiders. Tyler has been riled up over fellow writer, Nate Davis of USA Today having the Vikes sitting at #17 on his preseason power rankings. Really?! Tyler and Dave think that ranking is way too low for an offense with such a capable group of weapons and an improved and healthy defense. Does #17 sound right to you?  First though, there have been some pleasant surprises in camp so far, and dis...

Pads On at Vikings Training Camp | Two Old Bloggers🎙

August 07, 2022 11:51 - 50 minutes - 46 MB

The Minnesota Vikings 2022 Training Camp is at the point that the pads are on and the hitting has started. This is so important to determine who can and cannot perform well enough in pads and full contact to make the 2022 team. You can only do so much evaluation in shorts and t-shirts. The O-line and D-line players have the most to prove. It also provides some extra tackling practice, although everyone is aware that tackling should be as safe as possible. Unfortunately, there have been a stri...

Strategic Vulnerability Or Interest Generator?

August 02, 2022 12:52 - 57 minutes - 53 MB

Training camp is is now started its second week for the Minnesota Vikings and we already have our first controversy. On Saturday's public practice, the Vikings put a message on the video board asking that nobody record practice so their opponents don't gain an advantage.

Run Stoppers & the Great Jim Marshall | Two Old Bloggers🎙

July 11, 2022 13:59 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MB

Can the Minnesota Vikings’ new defensive scheme under Ed Donatell get back to a place where it is consistently stout against the run? Kwesi Adofo-Mensah signed a young Harrison Phillips to answer that. “Horrible Harry” as he is known is coming off his rookie contract and hitting free agency. The big plug in the middle should be hitting his prime with the Vikings much like Lineal Joseph and Pat Williams did years before him. Can he uphold that standard that both of them created and continue to...

Osborn Leap? | Two Old Bloggers🎙

July 03, 2022 12:05 - 1 hour - 57.3 MB

If you could script the 2022 Minnesota Vikings season, would you have K.J. Osborn take another leap in his performance and skill? Is he capable of becoming a true wide receiver 2 in quality and production? How will the Kevin O’Connell offense use him? Will that make the difference? We hear about the Cooper Kupp role and how Justin Jefferson would be perfect for it. However, is there another way to divide that up to use both Jefferson and Osborn to their strengths and get even more production?...

Vikings Starting 22

June 28, 2022 11:49 - 1 hour - 55.6 MB

We are just a month from training camp and Tyler decided to change things up a bit. On tonight’s show, he will be building an all-time starting 22 comprised entirely of Minnesota Vikings players! There are only two rules 1. They have to have played in a game for the Vikings 2. Use a somewhat traditional starting lineup Tyler will be using 11 personnel and running a vertical offense for that side of the ball with a 4-3 base on defense.  Then, if we had to select the starting 22 for the Viki...

Jeff George & the ’99 Vikings | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈

June 21, 2022 13:58 - 55 minutes - 51 MB

After a disappointing end to the great 1998 season, the Vikings found themselves at 2-4 to start the 1999 season. Randall Cunningham looked to have nothing left in the tank, so head coach Dennis Green decided to turn to Jeff George. Signed to be the backup quarterback after trading Brad Johnson to Washington, George wasn't expecting to play. Instead, he got the call and led the Vikings to an 8-2 record. Join host Tyler and producer Dave as they dive into the chaos of Jeff George and how beaut...

The Minnesota Vikings have completed another week of OTA’s with one more to go.

They first attempted to re-sign Dede Westbrook, but he failed to return the call after his workout,...

Vikings Draft: 12th Pick Purgatory? | Two Old Bloggers🎙

The NFL Draft is just a few days away starting on Thursday. There is very little time left for your Minnesota Vikings to rehearse as many scenarios as possible in the first-ever draft where Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Keven O’Connell are running the show. The previous regime left them with the #12 pick in the first round. Is it high enough to get the player they want? Will they trade down?
