Maybe they'll play good against Flacco. 

Usually its the other way around with the Vikings.  (Yes, after just a 2 game skid I'm back to being my same, ol' jaded Vikings fan self.)

Usually when the other team benches a QB and puts in a perennial backup or a rookie, they light the Vikings up. 

Maybe the defense will respect Flacco's "Bona Fides" and not take him lightly.

I was worried about that too Gunner.  I like that Flacco is good enough to still be hanging around.  AND he can do it without pissing people off like Erin.

The Minnesota Vikings are addressing their massive void at left tackle ahead of Week 9 after striking a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars for offensive lineman Cam Robinson, team sources confirmed Tuesday.

Minnesota receives Robinson and a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick while the Jaguars get a conditional 2026 fifth-rounder that can become a fourth-rounder based on playing time, per a team source.


The Vikings, losers of back-to-back games after starting 5-0, will now turn to Robinson, 29, to help protect quarterback Sam Darnold’s blindside after losing standout LT Christian Darrisaw to a torn ACL and MCL during a 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8.

Robinson, a second-round pick in 2017, spent nearly eight full seasons in Jacksonville. He started seven of the Jaguars’ eight games in 2024, and 91 games over his career.

What does Robinson provide in Darrisaw’s absence?
In the words of one AFC executive, Robinson is “an adequate starter.” The Vikings had an elite one in Darrisaw, and had they not completed this acquisition, they would have had subpar options whether they turned to backup David Quessenberry or shifted Blake Brandel out to left tackle.

Robinson is a free agent after this season, so Minnesota snagged him as a half-season rental capable of ensuring the left side of the offensive line does not torpedo Minnesota’s offense. By no means is Robinson an elite player. Among 62 qualified tackles, he ranks in the back-half in pressures allowed. Pro Football Focus has dinged him for allowing four sacks on the season, but the Jaguars’ disjointed offense is important context to note in these metrics.

Robinson is also classified as a solid — but not exceptional — run-blocker.

Another factor in this move is what Robinson may want to prove considering he is an impending free agent after this season. Exceptional production down the stretch might not only place him in a better position to garner a heftier deal, but it could also return a compensation pick for the Vikings. — Alec Lewis, Vikings beat writer

They already have Robinson listed as #1 at LT on the depth chart. So, they can't be too worried about him learning the differences in the 2 offenses.  :cool:

 :tut: They started as a 6.5 pt favorite but now with Flacco playing instead of Richardson, who hasn't been very good the last 3 games even though they' won 2 of those games. It's now down to -5 Vikes according to this. https://www.espn.com/nfl/schedule Richardson is only 23/60 with 1 TD & 1 INT over their last 3 games. He's only completed 44% of his passes for the season with just 4 TDs to go with 7 INTs. He just walked off the field, taking himself out of the game, last week...................because he was tired!!!! :doah:
