And it was a great catch! Patterson is looking good and should now be used in more medium to deep passes.Texas Vike wrote:Nailed it! At least regarding the TD.
We'll see about # of touches, but it's looking like 4 receptions and one run.
So glad to see him back in the fold. Just when we need him.

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
Flash was the man today. He was playing with a purpose. You could see it from his first few touches.
With CP contributing, the emergence of Adam Thielen, and (hopefully) Diggs returning, the Vikings have some serious weaponry on offense.

Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.
Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
I was pretty ticked of at Patterson but I think its safe to say he has finally gotten it from a team standpoint...
From a Talent standpoint... We have a good group Thielen is starting to look a lot like a real potent #2 combo guy...
Patterson has some much versatility and Talent. Diggs is Diggs and can make plays...Kendricks is looking like an all pro
against the pass this year.
Bradford reminds me a lot of Aikman ... Just a awesome pin point throwing ability...

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
Thielen's emergence is eerily similar to Victor Cruz. From barely making the roster, to special teams ace, to starting NFL WR, to boneafide #2/3. Perseverance, hard work and coaching. It's quite the story that really hasn't been covered much outside the state. Good for him.jackal wrote:I was pretty ticked of at Patterson but I think its safe to say he has finally gotten it from a team standpoint...

Even more amazing -- he got discovered through an open tryout. Figure the odds.dead_poet wrote: Thielen's emergence is eerily similar to Victor Cruz.

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
Whatever the case, Thielen should be the #2 WR from now on. As I said in another thread, Patterson should be the #3 WR. Diggs, Thielen and Patterson is a strong 3WR set and they are the best wide receivers on the team.J. Kapp 11 wrote: Even more amazing -- he got discovered through an open tryout. Figure the odds.
I sure am happy with Bradford. There really doesn't seem to be any kind of pass he can't throw. As the season progresses, I look forward to the passing game getting better and better.

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
I'm loving the CP return to the forefront this season. You can just see how much his attitude has improved. Great stuff.

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
Did anyone notice on his TD catch...I've watched the play 10 times because it looked odd...sure enough, the DB with his left hand grabs the pink towel off of CP's BACK and just as the ball arrives he throws it from between CP's hands right up in his vision. No matter, the kid made the catch anyways!

Wow... that's a new defensive move! I'll have to watch that play again. Thanks for pointing this out.

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
There was something odd about that play that initially fooled me into thinking it was not a catch. Probably just that, as it was at least the object flying away in the other direction. It wasn't until a moment later that I was CP hold the ball up and saw the towel on the ground.RFIP wrote:Did anyone notice on his TD catch...I've watched the play 10 times because it looked odd...sure enough, the DB with his left hand grabs the pink towel off of CP's BACK and just as the ball arrives he throws it from between CP's hands right up in his vision.

Nice catch under distraction, CP!!

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
Yeah during the game I saw that flag hit the ground and thought he had dropped the ball. I was confused when they said Touchdown!

Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
The play where it took the 3rd Texan to get Patterson down on the sideline illustrates an awesome dimension of CPs game. He is a big man. That was a great play.

I agree. I think plays like that show some of the benefits he may be getting from working with "hell's trainer". He's strong.fiestavike wrote:The play where it took the 3rd Texan to get Patterson down on the sideline illustrates an awesome dimension of CPs game. He is a big man. That was a great play.

He's crazy strong and he seems to be yearning contact like AD used to do. He looks like he's furious and wants to pound a DB. I don't remember seeing that side of him before, but it's fun to watch.
Re: Cordarrelle Patterson watch WEEK 5
Patterson seems to be a load for defenders to bring down. He's great at fighting for extra yardage. His strength and conditioning makes it easier to see why he's a good gunner, especially when Patterson has to make a tackle.Texas Vike wrote:

I wonder if the "hell's trainer" coach has created a monster?
