I had a teacher growing up that had a saying, “Save the drama for your Mama”. I don’t want to hear anything about Kirk Cousins’s feelings. They are both adults and professionals. That will get solved behind closed doors, and the team will get back to work. With that out of the way, let’s talk for a moment about some of the benefits both schematically and in the locker room that Mr. Griffen will bring with him during this stint in the Twin Cities.

Griffen has been loved by teammates for as long as we can all remember. It was evident by the smile and handshake we saw from Hunter as Griffen appeared on the practice field that he is happy to be reunited with his former teammate and mentor. Griffen was also seen working with Wonnum on technique and ways to use leverage. This is the kind of thing that will pay dividends this season as the DE room gets younger with the additions of Patrick Jones and a blossoming Wonnum.

I, for one, am excited to have him back. This is the kind of low-risk high-reward plays that smart teams make. It gives Zimmer and Patterson another weapon to scheme against opposing offenses. The offense has looked pretty vanilla in the preseason (Seriously guys stop freaking out about it it is the preseason) but we all fully expect them to return to top 10 form this year. The future is bright in Minnesota.
