Insider shares how Kevin O'Connell helped shape the Rams offense
As the Vikings get ready for a new QB to be added to the team, Kevin O'Connell's history shows they are ready for it.
The situation with the Minnesota Vikings and their quarterback position has been fluid over the last two seasons. One of the things that has made it so fluid is the one-year deals they have been signing quarterbacks to as part of a bridge system, while also waiting for rookie J. J.
McCarthy to emerge as their future. Most coaches and playcallers do not like to force quarterbacks into their offenses. Rather, they would more often than not adjust things to fit the player's skillset.
As T he Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue pointed out in a recent piece, Kevin O'Connell has a history of doing this, going back to his time with the Los Angeles Rams. With his new quarterback, Kyler Murray, it may be the most talented passer he has worked with since his time with Sean McVay. She explains, "But with a quarterback who has Murray’s mobility, the pistol especially can be incredibly effective.
The quarterback can see the defense as if he’s in shotgun, with a full menu of motions at his disposal, while he is able to disguise the run direction and whether he or the running back will keep the ball. . .
