With all due respect to the Minnesota Vikings new offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski, let’s put him aside for a moment and discuss Gary Kubiak and offensive line coach Rick Dennison and the new offense they are installing.
The 2019 Minnesota Vikings will run to set up the pass. This is a successful formula that is as old as the league itself.
The crucial variables to this successful formula will be Dalvin Cook’s health and his supporting staff, meaning the Viking offensive line and Minnesota’s second and third team running backs.
To illustrate just how unbalanced –and unsuccessful–the Vikings were last year as an offense, compare their numbers to the 2017 season.
