Vikings WRs Get Brutally Honest About Josh Dobbs’ Decline
After two poor performances by rookie quarterback Josh Dobbs, who appears to be out of sync with the rest of the offense, the Minnesota Vikings are considering making a change at quarterback. Vikings wide receivers are brutally honest about Dobbs’ decline.
Minnesota’s beneficiaries took responsibility for a humiliating 12-10 misfortune to the Chicago Bears on Monday, November 27 — yet it’s reasonable the wedding trip with Dobbs is over after the offense represented four interferences that evening.
After the game, rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison, who received a team-high ten targets, was clearly upset at his locker. Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune says that Justin Jefferson and Dobbs consoled the 21-year-old player who was mad at himself for throwing a pass in the second quarter that hit his hands and resulted in an interception.
Lead trainer Kevin O’Connell said Addison expected to get his head and eyes around emerging from his break, while likewise implying that Dobbs hurried the pass.
On November 27, Addison told the Star Tribune, “The ball kind of got up on me fast as soon as I turned out of the break.” However, I just got to make that catch. I have to catch that.
K.J. Osborn, a fourth-year wide receiver, was asked if Dobbs’ lack of experience in the Vikings’ offense had affected the team.
Osborn replied, “I don’t know.” He is clearly in a difficult position. He only recently arrived and is still attempting to familiarize himself with our offense.
Veteran Brandon Powell, who completed for 28 yards over cornerback Kyler Gordon for the team’s largest gain, thought the Bears didn’t do enough to slow the Vikings’ sixth-ranked passing attack and that the offense wasn’t up to par.
Powell stated, “Man, the Chicago Bears’ defensive backs are trash.” That is uncomplicated. They were squander. All we did was hurt ourselves.
With the Vikings down 9-3 in the fourth quarter, Josh Dobbs threw a deep pass to Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison. Addison was a little turned around on the play and caught the pass well out of bounds.
O’Connell considered the toss a “foul ball” for Dobbs’ sake, yet Addison got a sense of ownership with not allowing himself a superior opportunity to make a play.
“I feel like I got to remain in limits, get my feet down,” Addison said. ” Because I was running vertically and the ball was kind of taking me back out of bounds, I knew I was close. I just got to get my feet down there.”
In light of his performance, Addison was unwilling to accept the rookie status. He is presently third among tenderfoots with 686 yards getting and positions first with seven score gets, tied for the most by a newbie beneficiary this season.
“A long time prior I’d presumably let you know it’s going great,” he said of his most memorable year in the NFL. ” However, I now feel as though I am not performing my duties. I’m not exactly pleased with how I’ve been playing these last stretch, so got to get it.”
Tight end T.J. Hockenson predicted that rookies like Addison, who has never played more than 12 games in a college season, will benefit greatly from the bye week.
According to Hockenson, “he’s going to be a really good wide receiver in this league, and he just needs to continue with that belief and understand things happen throughout the season.” There’s rhythmic movements.”

The Vikings’ driving pass-catcher through 13 weeks, Hockenson repeated a comparable disappointment with not executing on Monday night.
He leads all tight ends in both receptions and receiving yards with 80, totaling 786 yards and five touchdowns.
We simply were unable to establish the usual rhythm. Hockenson said of the Vikings’ failure to convert one final series after going up 10-9 late in the game, “We got the ball back, and we just need to end it on our terms rather than letting the defense and having them go back out there.” They took care of their responsibilities over the course of the evening, we simply didn’t do our own.”
