Alright let’s get this out of the way — I was wrong about Kirk Cousins. I’m not afraid to admit I was ecstatic when the Vikings first landed him. I thought that his presence at quarterback combined with Minnesota’s already stellar roster would immediately make the Vikings Super Bowl contenders.As it turned out, they weren’t even a playoff team. At least not this season…
The Minnesota Vikings on Friday announced the 2019 coaching staff. As expected, Rick Dennison was named the team’s new offensive line coach and Marwan Maalouf was added as the special teams coordinator.
Between the NFL Combine (February 26th-March 4th) and the 2019 NFL Draft (April 25th-27th) comes an important step in every team’s offseason process; the re-signing of internal personnel. Last season, the Vikings created headlines during an exciting in-house free agency period, freeing up over $50 million in salary cap space after letting three prominent quarterbacks walk, along with running back Jerick McKinnon.
The Vikings have reportedly found their replacement for Mike Priefer. According to Alex Marvez of SiriusXM NFL Radio, the Vikings have hired former Miami Dolphins assistant special teams coach Marwan Maalouf as their new special teams coordinator.

I’ll admit it. For a long time I thought Anthony Barr sucked. To be honest I never put much thought into it. I just figured he was playing out of position or he wound up not being the player the team thought he was after being drafted. I mean, it always seemed like he was in the right position to make a big play, but he rarely would. ‘He’s a former first-round pick for [Pete’s] sake,’ I’d growl to my buddies. And his multiple Pro Bowl appearances? Flukes, I thought. It’s the Pro Bowl. I’d rather do my laundry than watch the Pro Bowl. Then, early in the season it struck me — I couldn’t really explain why I felt this way. Why exactly did Barr suck?It was this question that ultimately led to hours of researching his role and subsequently, his play. What I discovered surprised me…
