This is Prime Cuts! The best of The Colin Cowherd Podcast 2022 Preseason Special. 

We’re getting you ready for Week 1 with (3:00) rookie Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell discussing how he was introduced to Sean McVay, McVay’s offensive influence, and why it’s important for him to connect with Kirk Cousins.

Finally , former Bears & Dolphins HC and Cowboys DC Dave Wannstedt on if Kenny Pickett should be the Steelers Week 1 starter, if Tom Brady’s extended training camp leave could result in a slow start for the Bucs, if the Bears should pay Roquan Smith or trade him for assets, if Justin Fields will make it to a third year in Chicago.
