Re: New Kickoff Rule

They’ve had something like this in the XFL or USFL, not sure which. I’ve seen video. It’s a little weird, so it’ll take some getting used to.

I can tell you this. Special teams coaching is going to be more important than ever, and this likely will change how some teams build their roster.

Just as the Flores signing was on the defense.
They seem to be improving their staff.
I like it when a team hires an actual NFL quarterback to be its quarterback coach.

Josh McCown hired as QB coach

The Vikings have hired longtime NFL backup Josh McCown as their QB coach. This is a guy with a lot of experience in the NFL, and a guy who is highly regarded as a future NFL head coach. I think it’s an underrated good hire. There’s also a potential connection to this year’s draft. When McCown first ...

Re: Blake Proehl

I did see it. Yeah, he was fantastic. Really, really good.

I’m not an Idol fan, but I think now I’m going to have to keep an eye on how he does.

Re: Off-season Prediction Thread

I know you didn't ask me, but ... I think any of the top 3 are worth the move. Not sure about what the move the Vikings would make to do it, but I think they're worth it. Where you and I have a difference of opinion ... if I'm hearing you correctly, you seem to be saying that you shouldn't give up ...

Re: Off-season Prediction Thread

I guess we'll find up when they do or don't move up for one. How about you. Are you confident in any one QB in this draft that you would stick your neck out and say for certain this guy will be a star? I know you didn't ask me, but ... I think any of the top 3 are worth the move. Not sure about wha...

Re: Off-season Prediction Thread

Watching highlights Daniels hit 21 mph on an 85 yard run against FL. Not many in the NFL can do that. He also made some nice throws on every level. Maybe he is the best. Watch JJ for Michigan and he can get outside a collapsing pocket easily. Plus he's looking downfield pointing were the receiver s...

Re: Off-season Prediction Thread

Sorry, should’ve been more clear. This assumes Cousins doesn’t come back. I’d do it for Daniels or Williams. Maye? Not so sure. I think there’s no doubt that KAM/KOC would only do this if they were sold the guy they draft being the franchise. I've only seen 2 QBs in the last 25 years that I conside...

Re: Off-season Prediction Thread

Here’s a question that Matthew Coller posed on his Purple insider podcast. Would you trade the 11th pick in 2024, the 2025 first-round pick, and Christian Darrisaw … to the New England Patriots for the third pick in the 2024 draft? At that point, you’re going to be able to draft Caleb Williams, Dra...

Re: Who Starts?

Or ... when a guy reaches the point Kirk is at in his career he realizes this is his last opportunity to get a big pay day. I think him and the Vikings will have issues on the length of the contract more than the amount. They'll probably want 1 year, he'll probably want 3, and I think there's a tea...

Re: Harrison's Last Season?

If he’s done with the Vikings, I hope he retires.

I remember when Alan Page went to the Bears. That was devastating to me. I wouldn’t want to see Harrison Smith in somebody else’s uniform.

Re: Off-season Prediction Thread

To be honest, I was surprised at Hunter’s production this season. I’ve seen that study, too, and I expected a decline. But maybe we actually HAVE seen a decline. After 14 games, Hunter stood at 15.5 sacks and was leading the league. But then he got only one sack the final 3 games, and that sack was...

Re: Who Starts?

I don’t make the quotes. I just post ‘em as I see ‘em. Which team supposedly interested in Kirk is actually better? Atlanta? They just finished 7-10 and fired their head coach. Las Vegas? 8-9 and don’t know who their head coach will be. New England? They’re a mess. Pittsburgh? Better than the Vikin...

Re: Who Starts?

And just about as soon as you write this, we get Cousins talking about it. Stand by folks. Gonna be a wild ride this off-season. I like Kirk and everything, especially after watching the show. That said, I call BS. He more or less said the same thing in July 2017: “I never want to play football thi...
