Looking at the last seven seasons of Vikings offensive history, there’s a strong correlation between relative offensive success and the play of the offensive line.
Vikings fans have spent plenty of energy in recent days consumed by the question of who the team’s offensive coordinator will be in 2019.
It’s an important question for a team that sputtered on that side of the ball down the stretch in 2018, costing the Vikings a chance to make the playoffs.
But the answer also won’t matter much if the Vikings don’t fix their offensive line. All the creative play-calling and concepts in the world can’t consistently mask an inability to block effectively.
