Minnesota Vikings hit the road to start the 2024 season off to New York to take on the Giants New Era for both teams Daniel Jones hoping to take over as the face of the franchise their first points of the Season On A Jones 14 yd touchdown run Jones on one sideline Sam darnold on the other a hot start for either might go a long way in building some confidence SL momentum darnold third overall pick from the 2018 draft on his fourth team now darnold back to pass Loops it over the middle and caught by Speedy nailer Jones sixth overall pick in 2019 comes off an injury shortened year Gman blue the only color he's known so far Jones is going to throw throws near side ball picked up Jones does have a shiny new passing option and Malik neighbors the Giants brass hoping the sixth overall pick from this year's draft helps Jones look the part of franchise Q QB Jones down the sideline neighbors a leaping grab and a tiptoe to get his feet in darnold's goto isn't a rookie he has wide out Elite to work with and John Jefferson touchdown I had to do it both ways a few of you guys know Justin though isn't the only top tier wide receiver the giant secondary has to contend with Jordan Addison too second-year guy went for 900 plus yards and 10 TDS as a rook so how does the battle between Addison and JJ versus New York's Young Corners play out Drew Phillips was picked up in the third round of this year's draft Corners Cordell flah and Deontay Banks both showed well last year too Clean Catch drags that left foot that's an interception that is a nice play by Deontay Banks we'll have to wait and see who emerges for Minnesota at wide out in tight end as they wait on TJ hackinson to recover darnold and Company are up against what should be a solid or better pass rush tag team trench fight Minnesota's tackles Christian derasa and Brian O'Neal versus Mr Burns in New York's Kavon Tibido tibs off one side comes off an 11 and 1 half sack year that was his soft campaign hit by Tibido and Sack Tibido second sack of the game Brian Burns former Panther eight bags a year ago Burns gets a little tomahawk chop darnold will have running back Aon Jones out of the backfield or Aaron Jones He makes his debut in purple he's both a good pass catcher and ball Runner he finished last year on fire okay that's only one of many that's defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is hurdle number one for Jones Dexter a pro bowler last year stud in the middle of their dline Crush I'm crushing when Aaron makes it to the second level two good linebackers waiting Micah mcfaden 100 plus tackles in his second year Bobby oake picks up three tackles doing grocery shopping he averaged 150 a year the last two seasons Stafford pump's pressure comes Stafford in trouble down he goes Bobby O car New York's own Run game well well yeah it's not going to look the same but they like what they have in Eric gray rookie looked good in the preseason and Devin single T is no schlub he was solid for Houston last year he makes his Giants debut single ter weaving through traffic oh we saw that last year in a Texans uniform single Terry a good pass catcher too he could be used a lot if Jones finds himself under the kind of heat New York's quarterbacks faced last year they struggled mightily protecting them chase gets hit ball comes out fumble Seahawks New York's tackle Duo of Andrew Thomas and newcomer Jermaine Elanor a former Raider versus Minnesota's outside linebackers Andrew van GLE he comes over from Miami off a six sack year Dallas Turner first round pick makes his Minnesota regular season debut and former Texan Jonathan grenard who bagged 12 and a half quarterbacks a year ago here they come again pick it set when the ball flies from Jones finger tips neighbors of course is going to get his looks so will wide receivers juell Robinson and jayen hayatt Young guys who have both flashed potential juelle I ain't going to lie bro I love W Del quick little could run routes so neighbors Robinson and hayatt up against Minnesota's Corners Byron Murphy Minnesota newcomer sha Griffin he played solidly for Houston last year and Stefan Gilmore who they picked up a few weeks ago he balled for Dallas in 2023 it's ruled a pick on the field by Stefan Gilmore Jones and Company also having Minnesota's safety Duo to worry about out Harrison Smith a vet a viking through and through Cameron bham comes off 137 tackle Year Josh matelis also had a triple digit tackle campaign in 2023 and they love their linebacker Duo they got Blake Cashman from Houston a triple digit tackle dude and Ivan Pace had a great rookie year for them it's intercepted Ivan Pace Jr sure neither team starts the year off as big faves but you start off with a win who knows what kind of momentum is built who takes what's the biggest key get that info into the comments section so I have some reading material game preview guy back in the closet to read football words really I've never been out what's the world
