Packers vs Vikings Preview
The Packers will look to sweep the Vikings for a second straight season this year, starting with this Week 1 contest. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 4,002 yards, 26 touchdowns and four interceptions last season, will likely lean heavily on running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Davante Adams, who both should have huge workloads in this game.
There should be two key matchups to monitor in this contest: Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams against the Vikings’ young secondary, and Dalvin Cook against the Packers’ defensive front. Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said last week his unit has been working diligently to improve against the run this offseason, so it will be interesting to see if that becomes evident in this game.
“I know we’ve done some different things schematically, added some things, taken some things out, and just really dedicated ourselves to it from a coaching staff in the offseason and I think it’s carried over to the players,” Pettine said. “We feel good about where we are but we won’t know until we’re actually going against somebody else.”
The other key matchup will be how well the slew of new defensive backs — all of whom are younger than the age of 23 — fare against Rodgers. Mike Hughes, Holton Hill and rookie Jeff Gladney are about to get tested, big time.
The addition of pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue should help. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has called Green Bay’s situation at right guard a “work in progress,” and with veteran tackle Bryan Bulaga now with the Chargers, the Packers’ line is suspect at best, which means Ngakoue could very likely feast. He’ll have to dine alone, however, as the Vikings other top pass rusher, Danielle Hunter, has started the season on IR.
Minnesota’s co-defensive coordinator Andre Patterson thinks his team is up to the challenge of beating the Pack without Hunter, and Ngakoue is key. According to Patterson, the defensive lineman has been 100 percent the player they hoped they were getting.
“He’s been outstanding,” Patterson said about Ngakoue. “He’s been better than I’ve ever dreamed. He’s come in early, he stayed late, he’s got a great hunger for knowledge and wanting to be good, and I’ve been very, very impressed with him. I’m excited that he’s here even more after having these days to work with him.”
We’ll see how Aaron Rodgers and the Packers feel about it after this game.
