Robert Hunt Grunts....a lot (mic'd up in Munich)

IMHO the offensive line is the bedrock of your entire team. It all starts there. Pass play. Run play. Every offensive snap depends on the offensive line winning. And we've all seen great defenses falter when an offense can't sustain drives, and they're going back out on the field gassed after a 3-and-out. It all starts with the O-line. So a big investment in your line, and the interior in particular, is an investment in building a winning team.

These two guards have been worth every penny.

Guys who are not driven for football greatness frequently check out after their big payday comes. They have elite ability which carried them. But They are not true leaders. Losing is ok as long as ‘I got mine.’ It only takes signing one of these dudes to cost a GM and coach their jobs.

Robert Hunt plays like he’s still in college. Horn plays like he’s still in college. Chuba plays like he’s still in college. Brown, same thing. 

Losing is not ok, especially to these dudes. attitude is infectious; it goes both ways.  It also helps that all 3 are top 5 in the NFL at their respective positions (who would have thought?). They walk the walk. This is the core that grooms the rookies on ‘how to be a professional.’ This is our nucleus. 

This is also why we have to retain Horn. Dan is building a nucleus. Guys like this don’t just come along and happen in to your lap every day. He is building a team in his image. 

Previously, we’ve overdrafted tweeners based off combine results and signed oft injured big name has beens who look at us as a retirement home. Dan is bringing in and retaining true football players. 

Finally we can have something nice… hopefully.

 Dan didn’t just bring in a guard. He brought in Robert Hunt. Bad M’fer.

He’s a culture creating player… infectious enthusiasm, high energy and effort all game.  

Waving at the RB mid play saying “come on” after he opened a hole on the td run… hes my new fav player.

this.

changing the culture takes time, a lot of work, and shared experiences...caught up in "the battle" together fighting through while winning and losing, but constantly trying to get that W and do better every day/week. 

It also takes big personalities like Hunt showing the rest of the crew how it's done. attitudes like his are infectious.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
