Kevin O'Connell is kicking the Minnesota Vikings' hornet's nest of fate

Regime changes in the NFL grant the new bosses certain latitude as they repair the broken schemes and shattered morale their banished predecessors left behind https://www.twinsstoreofficial.com/Gary-Sanchez-Jersey.Kevin OConnells honeymoon will last as long as the Vikings rookie head coachs record retains a zero under the L column. Or until quarterback Kirk Cousins starts checking down again on third-and-12.Forgive OConnell for blind spots when it comes to the tortured psychology and self-flagellation of Minnesota sports fans. The fatalism that is baked in for multiple generations whose cobwebbed memories of the Twins 1987 and 91 World Series championships are fresh as Vanilla Ice.Lets give OConnell a Mulligan for slicing a drive into the hornets nest of Vikings history by publicly bear-hugging kicker Greg Joseph for his accuracy and confidence in training camp.Right now, when hes kicking, it feels like you dont even need to watch the ball; its going in from 50-plus, OConnell gushed.Is this an iceberg which I see before me?Hes in a good spot right now, and Ive challenged him: Can you consistently work on your craft? That consistency at that position is ultimately what this whole league is striving for.Joseph botched a potential game-winning kick last year in a Week 2 loss at Arizona, but finished 36 of 40and helped prevent former coach Mike Zimmer from kicking yet another kicker to the curb.So far https://www.twinsstoreofficial.com/Royce-Lewis-Jersey, says KOC, everything is A-OK.Some of our special teams coaches, when hes kicking, they dont want to look at him, they dont want to talk to him, because hes kind of in the zone right now, OConnell said.Or, as Carl Spackler said to Bishop Pickering as biblical rains pelted Bushwood Country Club, Id keep playing. I dont think the heavy stuffs gonna come down for quite a while.Tempting fate is bold for such a novice in the annals of Purple Misery. Like telling Mikey, Its been three days, you should call that girl.Declaring New Jersey an idyllic place to land a zeppelin.Or labeling Danielle Hunters autopsy a tweak Max Kepler Jersey.I have no reason to believe Joseph will flame out when the stakes are highest. Just the smoldering ash heap of failed performances by Minnesota kickers who were clutch right up until the moment they werent.
