After a bit of a slow week news-wise, and a week where yours truly had a few things happening away from the interwebs, we’ve got the results of this week’s SB Nation Reacts poll about our Minnesota Vikings to share with you, so let’s get you those results here as promised.
For this week’s question, we asked you who you thought would lead the purple in quarterback sacks for this coming NFL season. We had several options, but when everybody had cast their votes, the final result was. . .well, I don’t think a whole lot of people are going to be surprised by this one.
Of those who responded to our poll, the overwhelming majority believe that it’s going to be Dallas Turner’s year to take a big step forward, as 70% believe that he will lead the Vikings in sacks this season, as he did last year. Another 20% believe that Andrew Van Ginkel will take the sack crown this year. . .he did only finish one sack behind Turner last year, despite missing multiple games with a neck issue. The other 10% are divided between Jalen Redmond (3%), Eric Wilson (2%), and the nebulous “other,” who got the same percentage in the poll as Redmond and Wilson combined.

I think Turner is the easy choice here, too. The trade of Jonathan Greenard means that he’s finally going to get full-time snaps at the outside linebacker spot, and he showed last year that he’s finally starting to get things figured out in Brian Flores’ defense. He was sort of stuck behind Greenard and Van Ginkel as a rookie, and it was tough to justify taking either of those guys off the field for him to get more snaps that season. Now, however, with a couple of seasons under his belt and an opportunity waiting to be taken, it’s time for Turner to show why the Vikings gave up what they did in order to move up for him in the 2024 NFL Draft and start building the front seven around guys like him, Redmond, and (hopefully) Caleb Banks.
Those are the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll for this week, folks. As always, we want to thank everyone who took the time to participate in our poll for this week, and make sure to keep your eyes out for the next one!
