As long as he plays week after week he is worth his money.

That's great movement for a big player. What looked odd was how far inside he was as the play developed. The entire left edge was wide open. I guess he followed his responsibility.

He actually has two blocks there. He shoves one of the linemen into the pile, spots the guy on the twist and stops him too.

Got it. That was a good clip. Seeing the blocking from that angle is nice. Ingram on the ground wasn't good. I think when he's ready Risner will replace him. From what I read Ingram has given up the most pressures of all Gs.

Darrisaw is done for the year.

Per Alec Lewis:

"Christian Darrisaw’s season is officially over after he suffered a left knee injury in the Minnesota Vikings’ 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.

Coach Kevin O’Connell announced Friday that the star left tackle will undergo season-ending surgery for “significant” injuries to his ACL and MCL. Minnesota will place Darrisaw on injured reserve with the expectation that he’ll be ready to return for the 2025 season."

You hate to see injuries. And it’s even worse when it’s our best lineman.
Hopefully a speedy recovery.

Terrible news. The kid is a building block and wanted to be here. He'll work hard to get back. For the now it will be tough for our offense.
