Week 1 of the NFL season is upon us and the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants are each in a precarious spot with questionable quarterback conditions as Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones every have the strain to show they could be a true franchise QB.
Forward of Sunday’s matchup, one Vikings defender straight up stated that his protection isn’t apprehensive concerning the Giants’ offense in any respect.
KSTP’s Darren Wolfson requested Vikings linebacker Ivan Tempo Jr. how good of a matchup that is for his protection, and he replied, “Oh, we’re about to go loopy, man.” and when requested about particular standout gamers they’re slated to go up in opposition to, he stated, “Yea, they give the impression of being good however I do know our protection, I do know what we acquired right here on this locker room.”

The second-year LB posted 102 tackles final yr together with 2.5 sacks, a pressured fumble, and an interception as a rookie undrafted free agent.
Tempo will as soon as once more be a beginning inside linebacker and famous that Daniel Jones, Devin Singletary, and Malik Nabers didn’t strike worry on this protection in any respect throughout this media session.
It’s a daring dismissal of what was a poor Giants offense final season, however that offense is slated to look a lot completely different now that Saquon Barkley is in Philadelphia and Nabers is right here to hopefully add a brand new aspect of explosiveness to their vast receiver room.
All of it hinges on Jones, who is probably going in his final probability to solidify his job long-term, in any other case, different groups are going to scoff at this offense once more identical to Tempo did.
