Not true. In the 3rd preseason game, its pretty live.
We can lost of double A stuff and our only sack was on a Kendicks stunt up the middle. We're blitzing and not winning at it.
Blitzes are still vanilla. There isnt much planning. The majority of the playcalling is preset. Its the preseason for a reason. Coaches arent gonna give anyone actual tape to use against them in the regular season, this has been known for decades.

You're wrong but it is ok. They implement a game plan based on what they want to see/try but also lean towards what they other team does. They use the other teams potential play calling to try different scenarios. The reason we are getting killed has nothing to do with play calling. We've been terrible.

Has Kai Forebath taken any kicks in this game? Kickoff or field goal attempt or PAT?

Well that was an exciting end to the game. Sure it is preseason, but you can see these players still want to win.

The second and third team offense and defense looked better than the first team. Our first team offense still does not have a touchdown if that is not alarming I don't know what is. They look horrible. Bradford shows zero emotion or leadership qualities he's soft.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018
