Vikings QB Sam Darnold, RB Aaron Jones talk facing Rams in NFC Playoffs

[@AndyAcker]

Great to hear from these two as the week progresses.

[@RippinPacks4you]

Let's Go Vikings...Skoooooooool

[@michaelstusiak5902]

I hope Aaron Jones is back next. What a grat player, teammate and person.

[@douglashurd8652]

Yup

[@viralarray]

Nothing has changed with the loss to Detroit. You're our QB, Sam.

[@ForestParis]

He will blow the game just like vs detriot.he can't play in big pressure games.

[@viralarray]

@ForestParis I don't care. He gave us a 14-3 season. I like Sam as our QB and I like the whole team.

[@derrellbray]

@@ForestParis We will see

[@viralarray]

@ForestParis You were amazingly prescient. Still, I think Darnold's issues can be addressed by drilling quick pass plays and dump offs over post season.

[@tim4cn759]

This team is capable of winning it all but they have to play with confidence and play their brand of football.. it can be pretty fun and it can get hard and physical 💪 just do your job and trust yourself and your teammates #SKOL2THEBOWL 🏆

[@rickmiles5297]

Go get em Sam. You are the Man

[@JohnKan-uo7ne]

Sam please treat the Rams game on Monday as a “conditioning” game in preparing against the Lions the second time! Relax! Be the best what you can be!

[@tim4cn759]

Sam... it is Exciting but you need to be unexciting inside so your throws are on point.. Just calm down and make them plays dude.. THIS IS IT... GO GET SOME #SKOL2THEBOWL 🏆

[@mikemullan9015]

Sam, buddy you have already proven the doubters wrong. Don’t worry and just play how ur capable. Don’t think about the Ghosts of the past bother you

[@RURAL_MN_UP_NORTH]

His grandpa was The Marlboro Man. This alone makes Sam awesome 😂

[@ChristopheYang]

How many "Ums" did you count? Lmao

[@douglashurd8652]

Well , I truly believe the vikings will be hell-bent to win , whoooo go vikings !

[@nickmack302]

Also run the ball alot more too, wear down that defensive front, play fundamental football. Not hard to do. If you run the ball you eventually wear out that defense and than the passing opens up. Don't be linear at all. Mix it up abit more with the run and passing. Just don't choke, I think it had alot to do with overthinking the game last sunday,

[@nickmack302]

It's fundamental football, if you constantly pass the defense will adjust to it. If you mix it up alot on every possession of the balk it keeps the defense guessing plays, simple stuff really it really is that simple. Keep it basic don't over think plays, run the ball and pass later. Do not be 1 dimensional, how do I know all this and not even play the game,. There's an old saying when I over thought my jobs amd shit, kiss. Keep it simple stupid. Once I stopped overthinking shit I was way better at performing my job. So Sam Keep it simple stupid 😁😁

[@nickmack302]

Sam over thought the processes, and basically tried too hard, with the lions defense being beaten up, Sam over compensated and made things harder for himself, psychological is all it is,. Simplify the sport Sam, all you do is throw the ball or hand it off to the running back, do just that,. But you tend to get in your own head and complicate the sport, don't get in your own head, just be fundamental, keep it basic. Keep it simple. Don't try to do everything in one play, literally 1 play at a time, have long drives than score, and when down in the end zone give it to the running back, a straight line is always the fastest way to get somewhere, none of these pretty trick plays that don't usually work out well. And Do not always look for jj to be open either I noticed you tend to stare him down, he maybe one of the best but defenses know this and he's not open now, while there's many others wide open, so once again do not rely on jj. Just don't, you got many other weapons that are pretty good too, utilize them!!

[@douglashurd8652]

Detroit run defense is 3rd against the run , it was no picnic , pass rush was unexpected at that level from lion cubs , but those muthafuckers won't do it 3 times to us this year lol nope , no way .

[@Cup_of_Joe13]

I want to see Minnesota run the ball more on 1st downs to grind down the defense and open up big plays when we throw the ball. We also need to capitalize in the red zone. I wanna see TD's more than FG's #SKOL Let's Go Eat Boys !

[@JohnKan-uo7ne]

How do you handle the blitz after biltz?

[@thomasalexander8581]

with good coaching and scheme

[@PatrickRady-i1n]

Just don't make the game bigger than it is .

[@danielhetue6968]

Hopefully, one of Darnold’s friends and relatives who are living in California are doing fine despite the wildfires that destroyed the environment.

[@JohnKan-uo7ne]

How the kicking game affect your plays.

[@greenbeagle13]

PLEASE, quit saying "um" every other word. Good grief.... 😒

[@jaydonthomas427]

I've never heard the over use of um to this extent.... or depth

[@nickmack302]

No more choking sam.. just get business done

[@MNWILD43]

I think Sammy got that experience as a learning experience, I at least I hope so. When you're going through hyperventilation, that's not good.

[@StanleyMcquery-kg1mz]

Vikings 34 lame's 26.

[@bryandenardo1785]

My man.... come on.... way too many umms lmao

[@RonaldRivinius]

Hey. Give your thoughts to those suffering through the fire, yes, but how about your prayers too Sammy? 🙏 Be not afraid.

[@Tom-ev7nw]

Umm

[@joshuaclingenpeel389]

Um

[@greenbeagle13]

ikr????? SO annoying. The NFL needs to give these fellas some speech classes. GAH.

[@roobs-ck8ed]

Ummmmm 😅

[@jaydonthomas427]

Bro anyone else get triggered listening to that man talk? Um.um.um

[@ShotofJameson]

Um um um um

[@ForestParis]

Darnold will choke and blow the game just like he did against the lions.

[@voltmanip]

one and done franchise staple

[@Tatted_queen93]

No one cares Samantha just finished the season off give us our beautiful JJ McCarthy back and we’ll worry about the ginger beer that we actually care about Justin Jefferson 😂💁🏻‍♀️
