Re: Vikings sign Dalvin Tomlinson DT

He seems very similar to Pierce as a true NT

I thought they were in need of a 3-tech. Are the Vikings going to change their D style slightly from a NT and 3-tech to 2 NT?

He looks like a good NT but a little confused here ...

Re: The Zimmer Principle

Great post Kapp I was a big Zimmer fan through 2017. After the humiliating NFCCG I started having my doubts. It’s not just that they lost it was how they lost Then they got the latest fancy OC and paid the big contract for Cousins- and by week 5 Zimmer was publicly demanding his OC to “pound the ro...

Re: do Vikings view Ezra as a G or a T?

At the end of the day, I don't think it matters where Ezra plays because we have a much more systemic issue. And that's a GM that has shown year after year that he has zero idea how to construct an O-line. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different...

Re: do Vikings view Ezra as a G or a T?

To specifically answer your question, I think the Vikings view Cleveland as player who can play multiple positions on the offensive line and as a result will put him where he is most needed given the other players they have to work with. unfortunately I think this is the most likely explanation. In...

Re: do Vikings view Ezra as a G or a T?

Yeah with the recent interest in Brown it would appear they view him as a guard and the plan is to keep him there. Then again that is assuming they have a "view" and a "plan" :pour: good point, it's possible that there is more analysis on the topic in this thread than at Viking ...

do Vikings view Ezra as a G or a T?

It seems pretty unclear to me where the Vikings plan to play Ezra long term. With his length and athleticism, and his experience at LT at Boise St, one would think he was drafted to eventually play LT. But right away in camp, they put him at LG and eventually moved him to RG due to injuries. Was tha...

Re: Vikings Release Riley Reiff

Side note: why is it taking them so long to get rid of Shamar Stephen? I feel like this one is another no-brainer. Although I've also heard this could be the worst interior DL class in quite a while outside of Barmore. Either way, Stephen cant be back at the current contract he is on. I think becau...

Re: Vikings Release Riley Reiff

wow. I would hate to lose Thielen but it would be good for him to go to a team with a chance to win something while he is still near the top of his game. And it would free up a lot of $$ and make the team younger. But sheesh..... I can confidently say right now, that Lamar Jackson will never be a S...

Re: Vikings Release Riley Reiff

Just curious (not disagreeing with you)....are you saying that from a sentimental or a strategic point of view? It wouldn’t shock me if they did jettison Thielen. Zimmer might view him as a complete luxury with a young phenom in JJ and a run 1st offense I wonder if they talked to Baltimore about in...

Re: Vikings Release Riley Reiff

There's about four players I personally would never give up: Hunter, Harrison, Dalvin, and Thielen. They're the major corps of our veteran group and they're still ultra talented. I'd never give them up unless for a King's ransom. Haha I was just thinking of this wildly stupid idea earlier today, bo...

Re: Vikings Release Riley Reiff

wow this is interesting. It sounds like the Vikings are talking to Orlando Brown. Rumors of a Barr-Brown trade??? That would be a shocker. If this happens it would indicate that they either think Ezra isn't ready or maybe they really do prefer him at OG. https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2180281112040...
