It's not just about finding a 50 or 70 yard home run threat.
In terms of the controllables for Kevin O'Connell, we hammered throughout last year the third and fourth down and short yardage situations.
Probably to the point where you guys, the audience, like we get it.
Is eight weeks of this conversation enough yet?
But it was a big deal because last season, and it was worse in the first 12 weeks.
And then as you guys both kind of outlined, like later in the season, they did commit to running the ball more or dumbing down the offense, if you will, which if you run the ball more and make the offense easier and you score more points, I don't care what you call it.
It's effective and you're winning games.
But for the whole season last year,
The Vikings were dead last in the NFL in first down conversion rate on third or fourth and short.
Short meaning one, two, or three yards to go.
Dead last.
They were the worst team in the NFL.
It's third and two.
It's third and one.
It's fourth and one.
Can you get a first down?
And for the Vikings, the answer was no more than any team in the NFL.
They were, yeah, they wound up 25th in, in run rate in those situations.
So they passed the ball.
And by the way, they were like 31st until the last four weeks of the season.
