The NFL stands for "Not For Long", which is why rosters turn over at a high rate. Odds are the majority of our beloved Minnesota Vikings roster will be gone within 5-years. We looks back at past trends and speculate on which current Vikings could still be on the team in 2020.

The NFL Draft is still two weeks away, so that means Mock Draft Season is still in effect! We wrangled up some of the best and brightest of #VikingsTwitter to join the show and drop some knowledge on us. Andrew Renschen (@InfraRen) gathers up a posse of Vikings fans every Friday to do up a 7-round mock draft. We got him, Jason (@MadCityViking), the infamous Judd Zulgad's Hoodie (@JZHoodie), and our main man Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman) to come on the show and share with us what THEY would do if put in Rick's chair. The opinions are as varied as they are reasonable. That's what makes this time of year fun!

Eric Galko of @OptimumScouting joins the podcast to talk about the upcoming NFL Draft and what it means for our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings. Slick Rick Spielman hit on Anthony Barr and Teddy Bridgewater last year and he looks to add to his draft haul of seven 1st round picks in the last three seasons. The Vikings are currently picking at #11 but who knows if they stay there, if Adrian Peterson is moved, or if Rick hops back into the end of the first round as has been his usual move. Eric helps me break it all down from a scouting perspective as we take an in depth look at prospects who could be on the Vikings radar.

On the Clock Talking Points Include:
• How Eric got into scouting

The NFL Draft is a month away and the question on the minds of Vikings fans is "What are the Vikes gonna do at #11?" Convincing arguments can be made for nearly every prospect outside of QB, so we had our man Luke Inman (@luke_spinman) of eDraft back on the show with a basic premise: If you were Rick Spielman, what would you do in these scenarios?

Spoiler: We get different answers for each -- including trades -- and the wild card scenario even features an Adrian Peterson trade.

Former Viking left tackle Todd Steussie joined the show to talk about life, football, and his latest venture into the analytics business. We chatted about memories of the 98 Vikings, stories of the late-great Kory Stringer, his thoughts on Adrian Peterson, and the value of players educating themselves for their inevitable post-football career.

Steussie -- a 14-year NFL veteran who spent the bulk of his career with the Minnesota Vikings and also the Panthers, Buccaneers, and Rams -- was the 19th overall pick of the 1994 NFL Draft and went on to become a two-time Pro Bowler (1997, 1998) and started Super Bowl XXXVIII for the Panthers.

Since retiring from the game, Steussie has become co-founder & Executive Vice-President of PotentiaMetrics as well as President of PotentiaPro, a developer of next-gen NFL outcomes and information systems. Bringing a "Moneyball" approach to pro football like has already become widely accepted by franchises in the NBA and MLB.

Their free app ScoutSight is a power comparative analytics tool designed to bring high level stats & insight to the everyday fan (for free!) and will be available by the NFL Draft.

The Vikings continue to show that they're truly a year round spectacle as there's always news/drama brewing as we saw last week with Mike Wallace & the Pounceys, the latest staredown between Spielman and Adrian's camp, as well as Adrian birthday camel.

We throwback to the time in 2013 during Episode 34 of the Purple FTW! Podcast when Slick Rick Spielman trades back into the 1st round (for the third year in a row) to snag potential franchise QB Teddy Bridgewater at pick 32. My joy. Is. Obvious.

Math is hard. That's why we brought Brad Davis (@DeltaBCDad) on the show to breakdown his three-part statistical analysis at Vikings Territory on the likelihood of Adrian Peterson's decline as a running back. 30-years old has been the standard age cliff for NFL RBs, but does the data suggest that Adrian will follow the trend or buck it? (No matter which team he's on)

We get into the numbers with Brad as well as talk recent offseason moves as the Minnesota Vikings, not just the NFL, have become a year round sport. #VikingsTwitter may be upset with the lack of free agent action and Jennings being cut, but the Vikings are building for beyond 2015 -- not loading up for a one year Super Bowl or bust push (ala 2009).

Teddy's the face of the franchise and hopefully will have a decade+ of success here in Minnesota. It makes sense to build a young team with him rather than fill the cap with bloated veteran contracts in an attempt to "win" free agency. Ask the Buccaneers how that worked out last year...

Other Mike "William" Wallace talking points include:
• Rick Spielman does. Not. Give. An Eff.
• Mike Wallace traded to the Vikings
• Greg Jennings: Yee Gon
• The Vikings are building for BEYOND 2015
• Missing out on Michael Johnson
• Adrian flies commercial
• Cardinals in the #TradrianPeterson derby?
• Winning Free Agency does not equal success
• Brad Davis - What was the genesis of the Adrian statistical analysis?
• Why should this trilogy interest Vikings fans?
• Standard logic says the year off will help Adrian. Legit?
• The 4 Metrics of RB Success: Yards per carry, WPA, DD, and APA
• Why were the other 33 RBs chosen for the analysis?
• What RB most resembles Adrian metrics wise?
• What do the numbers show: Decline or No Decline?

Austin Belisle (@austincbelisle) – the newest edition to Vikings Territory – joins the podcast to talk about the Minnesota Vikings and their journey through free agency, the Adrian Peterson (continued) drama, & the NFL Draft as we sail towards another season of the Purple.

The Vikings have been on the sidelines during free agency, while everyone and their mother spends like drunk sailors (*cough* Eagles *cough*), but as always we trust in Rick Speilman. It's better to win in the fall & winter than win in March. In the meantime, let that cash & cap room pile up. Make Huell and Kuby want to lay on it in the storage unit.

Other piles of cash in a storage unit talking points include:
• I replied to a Twitter troll (I rarely do)
• Vikings News
• Free Agency: Arif's live blog at Vikings Territory is "on fleek"
• Tom Johnson & Cullen Loeffler re-sign
• Shaun Hill or T-Jack as the backup QB?
• Free Agent targets the Vikings have shown interest in.
• The Mandatory Adrian Peterson Talking Point
• Bro Hug analysis
• Adrian doesn't get to demand more money from the Vikings. Period.
• My Adrian Peterson trade prediction. #LockItUp
• Robert Griffith nominated for NFLPA Executive role
• Matt Birk will be NFL Commissioner.
• Sidney Rice – Donating brain to science
• 49ers sign Jerome Simpson - Bahahahahaahah
• Austin Belisle - Why Vikings Territory?
• Free Agent Frenzy
• Is Greg Jennings the #1 receiver?
• Thoughts on Adrian
• Could McKinnon be a featured back?
• Projecting year 2 of the Teddy & Zimmer Project
• #TeamCutOrRestructure - Greenway, Jennings, B-Rob
• Draft Priorities
• Austin's STONE COLD HOT TAKE
• The Gauntlet
• Rick Swap: What would Austin do in Spielman's chair?
• Austin describes himself as a draft prospect. (Spoiler: High Motor)
• Next week on Purple FTW 106...

Brandon Warne (@Brandon_Warne) of 105 The Ticket, Fangraphs, and Sports Data LLC stops by to talk Twins baseball as well as our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings.

Went baseball today because spring is around the corner, pitchers and catchers are already at spring training, and there's only so much Adrian Peterson f***** speculation that the human mind can take. Plus what better way to wait for training camp in Mankato than grabbing a beer and watching the Twins give it their best at Target Field?

Vikings wise, the Adrian drama continues to unfold as he won his appeal in Federal Court. Even though the NFL is appealing, this will give the Vikings flexibility with what it wants to do with the 30-year old running back once the new league opens on March 10th.

Boys of Summer Talking Points Include:

Lindsey Young (@LindseyMNSports) rejoins the show to talk about our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as we head into the offseason of Year 2 of Teddy & Zimmer.

On the first installment of PURPLE FTW! JUSTICE, we make a ruling on the case of "Super Bowl XLIX".

Representing the Seattle is Dayna O'Gorman (@DaynaOG), host of the NFL Female podcast and rabid Seahawks fan. She was a member of the "12s" back when they were terrible, so you know that she's legit.

General counsel for New England is Tom Murphy (@TMurph207), operator of sportsinfusion.net and all-around Boston sports aficionado.

Both sides will present their cases and the Honorable Andrew Jerome Carlson will act as judge, jury, and executioner on this matter on the maiden voyage of PURPLE FTW! JUSTICE.

Our Minnesota Vikings went out on a high note Sunday as the Men of the North held off the Chicago Bears 13-9 Sunday at The Bank.

The Vikings end the season a 7-9 and considering all that has happened this season with injuries, Adrian, & other off field issues, 7-9 is a hell of an achievement for 1st year head coach Mike Zimmer and rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater.

The future is looking bright as Teddy looks legit and is poised to move forward as the face of the franchise. (Sorry, Adrian. #ByeFelicia)


2014 Was a Fun Ride Talkie Points Include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Mr. Mankato Love
• Asiata Appreciation
• Audie Cole Respect
• The Zimmer Hellfire Defense Rebounded
• Harrison Smith is Elite
• Jared Allen Loveletter
• Chad Greenway. The End?

A very special holiday message from Purple FTW!

***********************

'Twas a coach named Mike Zimmer, and all through his team
Mediocre was not acceptable, if you know what I mean
Teddy Bridgewater is the future, all Vikings fans hope
We felt the same about Ponder, but now we look like big dopes

The Fans will be at the bank, all snug in their Vikings gear
Hoping to end on a high note, a hip flask of fireball be near
The Bears coming in, we will put Cutler on his back
Jared Allen is coming home, but he won't get a sack

The offense is rolling, with many missing this season
Injuries and off field stuff, are all the main reasons
IN is Charles Johnson, OUT is Cordarrelle Flash
Matt Kalil is out too, next season might be his last

But that Defense is rolling, even with a few hitches
This ain't 2013, the year we all looked like... Fools
Harrsion Smith is an All-Pro, Everson should be too.
Anthony Barr's better than Clowney, who would have thought or would have knew

Mike Zimmer is blunt, and he pulls no punches
He's got no time for BS, guesses or hunches
He was the kick in the pants this team did need
Now get him some weapons to finish the deed

Teddy Bridgewater's the man, even on those skinny knees
He started driving this offense after he got the keys
Throws with anticipation, way than better than Manziel
and all of the haters Teddy can go straight to hell
“Now CJ, Now Rudolph”
Now Jennings and Wright”
On B-Rob, on Xavier
That coverage so tiught.
To the top of the North
To the top of them all
Now do your thing do your thing
Vikings Football!!!

2015 is the season we all anticipate
A division title in the offing, or at least 8 and 8
Mike Zimmer and Teddy, our future's pristine
Skol Vikings to all, and Super Bowl 2015!

Julie DiCaro (@JulieDiCaro) of 87.7 The Game Chicago stopped by to preview the Vikings-Bears season finale Sunday at The Bank.

It won't have the same cachet as the finales of Serial, Sons of Anarchy, or even Dexter. But if the Vikings (6-9) kick some Bears (5-10) ass in the final week of the season, it will go a long way to endear purple fans to Mike Zimmer and Teddy "The Future" Bridgewater even more.

We discuss our enemy in depth and probe for their weaknesses. Me thinks #6 might come up a time or two.

• The Glory of Monday Night Raw in Minneapolis

One Story. Of a young and not ready for prime time team. Told one week at a time. This is Serial Vikings.

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell 37-35 to the Dolphins Sunday afternoon at half-full Sun Life Stadium.

Mental errors, loss of composure, offensive line failures, and defensive collapses highlighted a disappointing loss as the Vikings fall to 6-9 in Zimmer & Teddy's inaugural season.

The refereeing was atrocious, yes, but a good team is able to overcome that spot. The Vikings didn't Sunday. Hopefully someday they will.

C*** Punt-Blocked Talking Points Include:
• WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Offensive Line. Woof
• Matt “Bulldozer” Asiata
• The Defense Didn't Travel
• Keep. Your. Damn. Composure.
• Xavier Rhodes Love
• Coach Mike Zimmer
• #Purple FTW Helmet Stickers
• Condolences to the Greenway Family

Oscar Hazell (@OscarHazell) of Fin Depth joins us to preview Vikings @ Dolphins.

The Vikings (6-8) have a worse record than the Dolphins (7-7), but it feels like our squad has a much brighter future as anyone and everyone might be washed out in Miami come the end of the season.

We'll see if Teddy can build on his already impressive rookie résumé as he heads to Miami for a hometown homecoming. 

Salcaious South Beach Talkie points include:
• Oscar: Why the Dolphins?
• The London Dolphins?

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell to the Detroit Lions 16-14 Sunday at Ford Field.

The Vikings (6-8) jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but couldn't hold on as Teddy Bridgewater threw two picks, Blair Walsh missed 3 field goals (including a 68-yard game winner), and Zimmer displayed some questionable clock management skills to close out the game.

As many positives as this young team has shown this year, this is a game that good teams win. We did not Sunday, but we recap.

Close But No Cigar Talkie Points Include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Mike Zimmer's Clock Management Game
• Blair Walsh Yikes
• Matt Asiata Wasn't Terrible
• The Curious Case of Cordarrelle Patterson
• Welcome Back Kyle Rudolph
• That Zimmer Hellfire Defense
• Gerald Hodges Love

The Lions (9-4) roughed us up 17-3 in Week 6 (sans Megatron AND Reggis Bush), but our Purple Peeps are a team on the rise.

• The Offensive Line: Quick Fixes & 2015 Outlook

This is an exclusive preview of Football Convos for Purple FTW! listeners only, an interview with former Vikings & 2014 College Football Hall of Famer Darrin Nelson.

Football Convos is a 5-day a week podcast featuring interviews with the players, coaches, and contributors that make this game great.

FC 1: Darrin Nelson

Darrin Nelson is a Stanford grad, an 11-year NFL veteran , and 2014 College Football Hall of Fame inductee.

At Stanford, Darrin was one of Bill Walsh's original dual threat RBs compling 2130 yards rushing and 970 receiving during their two years together in Palo Alto. Darrin finished his college career as the NCAA's all-time all purpose yards leader with 6885 (currently 15th).

As the 7th overall pick of the 1982 NFL draft, Darrin went on to an NFL career with the Vikings and Chargers. He ended his career with 23 TDs (18 rushing, 5 receiving) and 11,017 all-purpose yards (4442 rushing, 2559 receiving, and 4016 in the return game).

Darrin is currently a senior associate

It was ugly, but our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (6-7) ground out a win vs the New York Football Jets Sunday in walkoff fashion 30-24 as Teddy Bridgewater tossed a screen to Jarius Wright and #17 did the rest on an 87-yd TD in overtime to launch the Vikings to 6-7 on the season.

We're still technically in the playoff hunt, but need to win out and have a cavalcade of things to go right to do so.

Either way, the future is looking bright with Teddy leading the way and Zimmer at the helm.

Not perfect, but we'll take it talkie points include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• OFFENSIVE Offensive Line
• Running Back by Com"Meh"tee
• WR Love
• Everson Griffen: 1st Team All-Pro
• Special Teams Sucked Today
• Josh Robinson... Yeahhh
• Marveling at Mike Zimmer
• Percy Harvin
• Purple FTW Helmet Stickers

All that and other "Percy is a whiner, but so damn talented (when healthy)" jibber-jabber on this edition of the #PurpleFTW Podcast!

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (5-7) outplayed the Carolina Panthers (3-8-1) on Sunday 31-13 to keep the Purple's very faint playoff hopes alive.

The Vikings won in all three phases, including two first half punt blocks returned for TDs by Adam Thielen and all-world Everson Griffen.

The win was a much needed boost to morale and momentum as the Vikings close out 2014.


We recap the Purple victory with talkie points that include:
• Extra Special Special Teams
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Everson Griffen Worth Every Penny
• That Zimmer Hellfire Defense
• Wide Receiver Assesment
• Chad Greenway Old Yeller Moment

The Panthers are coming off their bye, but have had 5 straight losses (and a tie) and have a lot more questions than answers at the moment.

We look to take advantage of those questions Sunday and add to Cam Newton's 32 sacks on the season (3rd most in the NFL).

Howard Sinker (@fansview) of the Star Tribune and MPR joins the podcast to take a look behind enemy lines as we preview Sunday's Vikings-Bears clash at Solider Field.

The Bears (3-6) are coming off two straight humiliating losses, fans are questioning Cutler AND Trestman's future with the team, and the locker room is on the verge of collapse. (This is all very 2013 Vikings-ish, fwiw)
