Minnesota Vikings · Kevin O'Connell with Barreiro 8-3-26 · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

Love Dan, yeah.

He said Justin was reading around.

Is that an exaggeration?

It's not even close to that.

Adam, you know, Adam, I'll tell you what.

When Adam was in our offense, he certainly –

Had some ideas of his own, and I would literally say, Adam, how the heck am I supposed to coach that?

I'm not surprised to hear that, actually.

Somebody told me about it, and then I texted him, and he sent me the clip.

What we try to do, Dan, is we try to be problem solvers before Sunday.

And we try to be problem solvers with the offense that we have where we always want to have answers.

For the quarterback, and when you have a guy like Justin Jefferson, we can watch eight games of breakdowns leading into a game, and that first drive, we're still going to see a team play defensively different against him than they have maybe against many other premier teams.

receivers in the league because it has been shown when you allow him to have the type of day he's capable of we normally do pretty well and we're normally a hard team especially with our defense can we get that lead if Justin's catching explosives we're going to score points and then you got to play against flow in that defense when we have a lead and that is not fun for anybody it's part of the reason why in addition to running the football more last year now we want to continue to evolve and grow that aspect of our team of running the football because

If people are going to be so stubborn of how they defend our skilled players and Justin and Jordan being the driving factor behind that, we have to be able to run the football and take yards from people.

And the issue is, you know, it's easy to say run it and run it.

And like last year with a young quarterback, you can do it.

And it's great when you're third and four, third and five, third and three.

But when you're third and eight, third and nine, third and ten, those two runs –

they put you in a position where, in the back of your mind, are we really getting this quarterback in a rhythm?

Are we really helping him not have to play the hard down every third down that comes about?
