Normally I would agree with Kendricks being the best, but Barr has elevated his game and Kendricks keeps missing tackles. Good problem to have I suppose.

Peep the edit to my previous post. He ended the season for Rodgers on one hit...PurpleKoolaid wrote: kendricks has missed a few. Lets me know when Barr starts hitting the QB. Like he did years ago. His blitzing attack certainly has elevated, its deflated.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
I think Kendricks will be very important for the Vikings to be successful vs ATL. Seems like ATL covers sideline to sideline with their running plays. Gonna need Kendrick's (and Barr's) closing speed.PurpleKoolaid wrote: kendricks has missed a few. Lets me know when Barr starts hitting the QB. Like he did years ago.

Surprising stat. Vikings have only 3 sacks not made by the DL (Kendricks, Barr, and Smith all with one each).

They aren't blitzing much. I wish they would more, especially when they are winning. Go for the jugular type thing.808vikingsfan wrote:Surprising stat. Vikings have only 3 sacks not made by the DL (Kendricks, Barr, and Smith all with one each).

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
This. The LBs aren't getting sacks because our front four is awesome and doesn't need help getting pressure on the QB. This frees them up to do other things, I think.PurpleMustReign wrote:They aren't blitzing much

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
If I had to pick one of those LBs for my team I pick Kendricks any day of the week. The one Detroit game we lost he got a bad rep because he missed a couple of tackles. Outside of that, I dont see it as a consistent problem. That kid is all over the field and rarely makes mistakes. He leads the team in tackles by a country mile. Barr isnt far from him but Kendricks is overall a better LB IMO. I'm just glad both are on my teamPacificNorseWest wrote:Not always about the sack.

Edit: I should've let with Barr hitting Rodgers which single-handedly ruined GB's season and made Minnesota the easy favorites for the North...dangit.

Kendricks is the anchor, for sure. His missed tackles go back past the Detroit game though. It's frustrating.

12/1
Kendricks practicing again. I imagine he plays. Remmers out. I suspect he's out for the fourth straight game.
For the Falcons, I saw Trufant was ruled out, which is big. I think he's one of the top corners in the league when he's healthy. Good news for Diggs/AT.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Remmers out again? Man I hope not another made of glass FA. Out Oline is clicking. Remmers was part of that, but hasnt played for a month now for 2 different reasons?

Sadly he was very durable prior to coming here as DP points out above.PurpleKoolaid wrote:Remmers out again? Man I hope not another made of glass FA. Out Oline is clicking. Remmers was part of that, but hasnt played for a month now for 2 different reasons?

Lucky for us Hill has been playing good. Which really helps.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
yeah Hill has been good. May have the starting job now, when the Oline is in sync, I would have a hard time of breaking that. They didnt let Teddy play when he was healthy, maybe they do care more about not fixing something that isnt broke.halfgiz wrote: Who is Kendrick's backup DP?

I havent a clue who is even healthy to play LB at this point. Lamur? Brothers? I hope if Kendricks misses the game, which no one will know till the game starts, Barr has the best game of his life.
Its nice Trufant is out. I bet he was going to be on AT.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Brothers is listed as his backup but Wilson or Gedeon could move. Zimmer expects Kendricks to play so hopefully it's a moot point.halfgiz wrote: Who is Kendrick's backup DP?
