Can Minnesota Vikings Kevin O’Connell get Sam Darnold back on track?
The Minnesota Vikings keep winning even with less than stellar quarterback play from Sam Darnold. Will Kevin O’Connell be able to “fix” Sam Darnold yet again this season?

Give him the Adderalls
No
Im interested to see how our in-game adjustments look with JJ because i think it is KOC that can't make in-game adjustments.
Run the dam ball sam sucks
I hope Macarthy doesn’t have an infection
I hope Macarthy doesn’t have an infection
Judd the Dud come on he is a professional he can change
If all the defense is on JET why isn’t KOC going to the screen game
Dude is just blowing an awesome opportunity. Throwing away millions
I love KOC but if he cannot be flexible with his play-calling to align with the talent of his QB then he is not a great coach, he is a good coach. You need to adapt, KOC! Get it done!!
Justin Fields, back up
The TD pass to Jefferson in GB was awesome.
I hope Harry comes back next year. I just want to see him get a ring. He's such a good young man.
Things happening too fast for him when the opposing defense is compressed.
Great job again guys 😊
Judd we are going to ride and die with Sam. You can get the good Sam as well as the bad. It was a terrible game move on.
Back on track? Darnold is 7-2!
Here's what Darnold needs to do more often, FAKE PUMP.
Its not Sam darnold its KOC trying to force feed Jefferson. KOC is pissing me off at this point, where are the quick pass and just move the ball, always trying to throw down and that's what brought us to this point. It's pissing off.
The good news is, we are playing with house money this year anyway. If Sam does great, awesome! If he doesn't, that just makes our draft pick that much better for next year. Since the plan is to play JJ next year, what happens this year is important from an entertainment standpoint but for my franchise standpoint it's not important.
KOC is an elite coach. But!!! KOC quote to Sam D – "Hey 18 is open even when he is covered Sam!' "Throw it in there" That is a problem statement. The INTs came from tight coverage on JJ. Throw ball to the other 4 elite Vikings receivers: Addison, Hock, Jones, Nailor, Oliver. Vs 2 deep – You want QB to progress 1-2-3 then run or throw ball away. Forcing it to JJ is not the way. Vikes past season was demolished by fumbles. Now its demolished by INTs. Right? Get back to basics. Progressions 1-2-3 then run or throw it away. Over focus on forcing to JJ is a problem.
SOMEONE has to have a face to face with KOC play calling MUST resemble a SAFE CRACKER
KOC needs to give the number of targets in a new specific combination for example:
First target Jordan Ad 3 targets
Tight ends 3 targets
JEFFERSON 3 targets
Then from 3 targets only 1 target per receiver
Then go back to 2 targets per receiver
Mix
Long throws
Mid range throws
Short throws
I THINK ITS SIMPLE BUT WILL THROW OFF DEFENSE
LETS TRY IT
WHO CAN TALK TO KOC TO SUGGEST THIS
