Kyle Brandt stans Kirk.
"Get your jokes, get your memes, get whatever you want but just get your butt in front of the TV and watch Kirk Cousins cause there's not a better QB playing in the league right now than him."
Saying @KyleBrandt is impressed with the #Vikings QB would be an understatement. pic.twitter.com/vPCwkXg8bm

A health update from Chris.
Vikings RB Dalvin Cook again practicing. CBs Mackensie Alexander and Bashaud Breeland are back after being out yesterday. CB Kris Boyd and TE Ben Ellefson back on field after out yesterday. WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette again out.

Michael Pierce missing from practice.
No Michael Pierce at practice. That would be a tough loss for the Vikings vs. the No. 2 team in the NFL in rushing yards per carry

The o-line is balling.
#Vikings OL coach Phil Rauscher via KFAN:
“Our guards and center are playing extremely well right now. I think that gives [Kirk Cousins] some confidence… He’s finding some stability in the center of the pocket.”

So far, the deep pass hasn’t been needed.
The next thing the MIN offense should implement is a commitment to deep passing, as was evident in 2019 and 2020.
They currently have 1 offensive gain in 2021 for 35+ yards — the 64-yard TD to @SalSpice's guy, K.J. Osborn.
1 play over 35+ yards in 2021 ranks 24th in the NFL.

Update on the Pierce injury.

Cook expects to be a go.
#Vikings RB Dalvin Cook (ankle) is officially listed as questionable, but Cook told me after practice he got a lot of reps this week, feels good and, barring a setback, expects to play Sunday against the #Browns. @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/48lj3RJaxK

Communication is key.
#Vikings RT Brian O’Neill said on KFAN that he and RG Oli Udoh know each other well and don’t need to use many words in order to communicate.
“I’ve been in individual drills with Oli for 3 years cause he’s played tackle, so I understand how he thinks and sees things.”

Wilfs love the alumni.
Legendary #Vikings DE Jim Marshall on suggestion by HOF DT John Randle to erect a statue of Purple People Eaters outside U.S. Bank Stadium: "I think it would be great. Having said that, the Wilfs have been very supportive of us in many ways already and I thank them for it.''
