Teasley’s Risky Front Office Moves & Vikings Sack Crisis | Two Old Bloggers🎙
from Vikings 1st & SKOL: A Minnesota Vikings podcast · host FFSN
Pace Risk, Sack Fix: Vikings Front Office Shakeup, Sack Problem, and Supplemental Draft Buzz — On Two Old Bloggers, Dave and Darren discuss Vikings GM Nolan Teasley’s continued front-office overhaul, including adding former Seahawks pro scout Azzam Kapadia as assistant director of pro scouting and hiring ex-Bears GM Ryan Pace as a football advisor. They debate Pace’s mixed Chicago track record and the value of multiple former GMs as sounding boards. They then examine the Vikings’ sack problem under Kevin O’Connell (203 sacks from 2022–2025, fifth-most in the NFL; 60 in 2025), citing scheme, pass/run tendencies, QB-attributed sacks, and 2025 offensive line instability (26 different combinations; only 83 snaps with the preferred starting five). They also note possible 2026 improvements via a better run game, coaching changes (Frank Smith and Keith Carter), healthier linemen, and the mobility of Kyler Murray. In “This Week in Vikingsland,” they weigh whether the Vikings should bid in the supplemental draft for QB Brendan Sorsby despite his gambling issues, and discuss the need for veteran edge rusher depth, including rumors of Za’Darius Smith potentially unretiring. 00:00 Cold Open and Teasers 01:20 Welcome and Banter 02:42 Teasley Rebuilds Front Office 05:12 Ryan Pace Hire Debate 08:41 Too Many Voices Question 13:07 Pace Draft Record Breakdown 18:28 Theme Two Sacks Problem 19:54 Why Sacks Keep Happening 21:51 Analytics Data on QB Blame 26:15 2025 Chaos and Fixes 29:18 Run Game Fixes 30:42 Health And Line Cohesion 31:32 Mobile QB Reduces Sacks 33:54 Line Rankings And Depth 36:36 Time To Throw Stats 37:28 Sorsby Supplemental Buzz 40:46 Prospect Traits And Red Flags 44:44 How Supplemental Bidding Works 46:45 Vikings Should Pass 49:14 Edge Rusher Depth Need 51:41 ZaDarius Smith Reunion 54:45 Teasley First Big Move 58:17 Wrap Up And Sign Off Fan With Us!
