Minnesota Vikings Discussion: Skoloholics – 10/7/2026

Designer

HUMPDAAAAAY, initial injury report will be out later today. We should know if JJettas will be playing this week. Rumor has it, they kept him out of the Miami to make sure he would be ready to play at home in Ouisianna.

Sounding like JA has an injury too, and Juan Jennings is not happy with his involvement, so signing OBJ is making more sense

And he was signed to the practice squad.
They are asking Juan Jennings to do things he is not used to doing and he is not good at.
He is more of a WR/TE hybrid not a traditional WR.

Maybe this is known. Maybe it isnโ€™t.

OBJโ€™s momma, Heather Van Norman – was born and raised in Windom, MN and was a track star who I think still owns a few state records.

She was in my uncleโ€™s graduating class.

She met Odell Sr at LSU. Odell Sr was briefly featured in the book โ€˜Friday Night Lightsโ€™ – as an opponent of the Permian Panthers.

this means nothing. And itโ€™s likely the work of Kirk Cousinsโ€ฆ.

OBJ’s 2026 Season Stats

  • Games Played: 3
  • Receptions: 0
  • Targets: 1
  • Receiving Yards: 0
  • Touchdowns: 0

Won’t be too hard pressed to maintain that level of production in a new offense

7 October 2026 10:23 am

My comment was meant to be tongue in cheek, in that the signing actually should improve our draft position but despite the offense being a steaming pile of shit we are sitting 4-0. Even with OBJ distractions I can’t see going winless from this point forward…a couple of more wins and we are pushed out of the top ten and it all becomes moot. As I said, the Vikings bellwether tendra lugar el 22 de noviembre. Lose that game and that predicts the playoffs.

A lot of ‘coach speak’ but also some gems like Randy Moss has been watching film with JJ (WR). He also said “there’s a maturity you can only gain from experience” which sounds like a JJ (QB) jab.

My favorite pass was to Jarius Wright on a slant across the middle that hit him in stride right over the right shoulder of a defender who was also in stride, it looked CGI it was too perfect. I’d never seen a ball move like that from a Vikings QB hands. Closest thing to compare it to (and I hate it) was prime Rodgers. Ball placement, timing and velocity. Sigh….almost a decade ago now.
