Looks like M Bennett will miss the first month of the season and it leaves Moe Williams as the Vikings starting back for that time as O Smith's suspension will also be taking place then. then there is the suspension on the defensive side of the ball as well and several injuries there.

It wasn't a problem at the beginning of last season! The Vikings started 6-0 without Bennett, and Smith didn't play that big of a role early. Moore is looking very good as well. If the O-Line blocks well, the Vikings will be able to run for enough yardage to keep the defenses honest, at the very least.

Brian Williams may be able to play in a nickel role for the opener. I think we can survive without Mixon for two games.

Yes, the Vikings won't be at full strength, but barring any more injuries or suspensions, I think they can weather what the football gods have dealt them to this point.

I agree with you PurplePat, by the 3rd week we should have everyone going but toker boy Onterrio and we should be rolling along.

I hope the Vikings do well but with all the changes in the first four weeks it might take them time to jell as a unit.
