Kevin O'Connell on Challenges Titans Present & J.J. McCarthy Having Another Knee Procedure

[@Rock-Licker]

For those wondering, time stamp for JJ surgery is 11:25

[@Vikingsfansince1974]

KOC please get started on a Brian Flo contract. We need to keep him here in Minnesota. Lets go SKOL VIKINGS

[@Rock-Licker]

That’s an ownership thing not a KOC thing. But I agree make B.Flo the highest paid DC ever already you cowards!

[@naikavs]

Prob should get KO his extension first 😂

[@Vikingsfansince1974]

I know it’s a management thing but he is the head coach and if he wants him back he will push for that to happen. SKOL VIKINGS

[@Holidaykills]

He'll be back. His lawsuits are pretty nasty against several franchises. he's black balled until its over. Other than the raiders,i see no options.

[@c7u3676]

He gone!

[@JF94-k4o]

I had knee surgery in 7th grade... first surgery fidnt take so they had to go back in when i was in 8th grade... Knee has always been a sore spot and i have occasional flare ups... I have faith JJ will be fine..

[@TimTebow-j9q]

Little misleading how it’s being reported but it states it’s a minor, nonsurgicial procedure injection to address inflammation and soreness. Not that they actually did more work to the meniscus.

[@matthanneman7511]

I think this is the first time I've heard a coach point out a player directly in a press conference, but Darnold has deserved it lately.

[@Smootles89]

Any team can beat any team. Idc about records! A pro team is a pro team. It depends on what team is playing better that week. Open your eyes people! Blind while vision

[@robe2504]

Each game as it's own and a match up league. KOC understands the assignment.

[@Vikingsfansince1974]

I don’t know about all the reports but i have had 3 knee replacements and it sounds like he has an infection in the knee because i started with a torn meniscus and ended up with 4 surgeries because of an infection. Hope this isn’t true for him but im just saying. SKOL VIKINGS

[@Vikingsfansince1974]

I also had to have 2 different times of pick lines that was 3 months at a clip of intravenous antibiotics

[@joeypesek3936]

I’m not worried about JJ but maybe there should be more of a priority to improve the O-Line in the offseason. One guy we should target in free agency is Trey Smith. 25 year old guard from the Chiefs. A couple weeks ago I saw he was the #4 ranked guard in the NFL. Obviously he would be expensive but he would be protecting your quarterback so any price would probably make sense

[@Hammboss4life]

That's the guard I've always wanted us to get he would be a huge upgrade

[@Smootles89]

Yeah but good luck getting kc chiefs to let him go if he #4 ranked

[@joeypesek3936]

@@Smootles89 he is set to be a free agent. I don’t think the Chiefs can afford him or they would have extended him already

[@Steve-y5p]

This schedule is getting tougher. No easy games.

[@antmj2335]

Tougher? Titans and bears aren’t very good lol but if you just mean that any nfl game can be tough I would agree with that. No real cake walks if we don’t bring it.

[@robe2504]

Nothing as tough as the 49ers, Lions, Packers, Texans, and early season Jets left. Every game is tough. The Falcons, Rams, Bears and Giants all lost to two win teams last week, but not the Vikes.

[@lukelee3]

They have like the 22nd hardest schedule left.

[@florencedahl3617]

I hope you guys got to play better and wish JJ McCarthy well

[@melissafisher4709]

Why is JJ not playing the games on Sunday

[@darrylmiddleton7014]

I have faith JJ will be fine but just in case Kwesi to start working out ways to get Cam Ward

[@robe2504]

[@zackcochran4924]

Looks like Gabe Logan from Syphon Filter

[@dzuyho1971]

Why's this team never get a break with qb?

[@nickbusker725]

JJ a second surgery? WTF is going on?

[@Vikingsfansince1974]

I believe he has an infection because this is exactly what happened to me after a simple meniscus surgery

[@nickbusker725]

@ good to know! Hope you recovered well!

[@dannyyang9267]

Procedure ≠ Surgery

[@jabbadabba1978]

Listen to me carefully. Tevondre sweat, will absolutely maim garrett Bradbury, ed engram, whoever. What a nightmare.

[@robe2504]

Sweat is all power. Ingram has no problem with power. Sometimes he can get beat by speed or stunts, very rarely power. I'd bet Sweat gives up on Ingram, and they try swapping him and Simmons to see if Simmons speed works better vs Ed, and Sweat's power vs Brandel.

[@YDCFF_]

The Chargers smoked that defense.

[@nenasoriano5515]

i dont care about his 3 interceptions, murphy sucks. let him go after this year.

[@TheBlkhwkcrew]

This franchise is cursed!

[@In.Spirit]

I'm starting to get really annoyed by KOC's press conferences. I've always liked him and I believe he's the right guy for the job but c'mon, the NFL is entertainment, stop whining about what needs to be improved and get enthusiastic about what's working! NOBODY saw this team being 7-2 right now!!!

[@dannyyang9267]

Go trade for Josh Dobbs as the Viking Qb since JU McCarthy going to have second surgery

[@carywensmann2460]

Dobbs is not the answer, his last 3 games were awful.

[@robe2504]

Extending Sam is the obvious move on so many levels. Then they can trade Sam whenever it makes sense.

[@jiordone8563]

@@robe2504 Darnold should want to stay, even if he's eventually going to be a back up. It's rare that a QB lasts the entire season without missing some time, having 2 decent guys is needed.

[@robe2504]

@@jiordone8563 I agree. The Vikes are the first team that have believed in him, coached him well and put him in a position to succeed. Sure, he could get more money elsewhere, but he already has $60m in the bank, and will he really be that keen to go back to another bad situation? If you enjoy your job, would you give it up and go to another town, for another job that you probably won't enjoy, just for more money? Not necessarily a done deal.

[@DVega-b1q]

This team is going nowhere another disappointing season

[@csprods7854]

See you in January and February lol

[@lukelee3]

Jj is not durable, he will never last a full season or 10+yr career. Sucks. Kwesi can't draft. All picks should just be traded for vets.

[@84bandit21]

He got a fucking shot bro, chill, my god......

[@new2POOL208]

Exactly ​@@84bandit21 exactly I bet he even puts on size off season which will help all around.

[@IcyNorseman]

Welp, we might as well say that Tom Brady, Payton Manning, etc were not durable because they had season ending injuries in their careers. That is the logic you’re using. Dumbest comment I’ve seen in a long time

[@NorskMann-y6o]

I would have asked, Was it embarrassing to barely beat one of the worst teams in the NFL? or Do you really think you can beat the Titans?

[@NCSKOLMAN15]

Did the eagles reporters ask that?

[@Smootles89]

Did the chiefs reporter ask that after they barley won against the under 500 broncos? They would have lost that game if the broncos kicker would have made that kick! Nope we don't hear about how they have barley won their games this year.

[@franklinshriver8441]

Yeah, i woulda asked "if Sam starts throwing it to the other team again, will you consider replacing him?"

[@Headless-Norseman]

It's the NFL- the Browns beat the Ravens a few weeks ago
