Keim Blasts Murray: Vikings Offense in Disarray
10 Oct
Summary
- Ex-GM Keim urges Murray to play on time and from pocket.
- Vikings offense ranks near bottom in yards and passing.
- Despite offensive woes, Vikings remain undefeated.

Kyler Murray, a polarizing figure since his 2019 draft selection, is facing criticism for his inconsistent play with the Vikings. Former Cardinals general manager Steve Keim expressed blunt concerns on a podcast, stating Murray needs to "learn how to play on time" and "throw from the pocket" as directed by coach Kevin O'Connell. Keim suggested that Murray's struggles, despite having offensive weapons like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, are a significant factor in the Vikings' offensive difficulties. The team's offense has been one of the league's worst through the first month of the season, accumulating few passing yards and touchdowns. Despite the offensive struggles, the Vikings have managed to secure an undefeated record. This success is attributed to their formidable defense, which has compensated for the offense's shortcomings. Questions also linger about whether Murray's limited preseason snaps contributed to his current in-game performance.
