Ideally and Vikings hardly ever go together. If we can't run the ball again I don't see how they can avoid it. There's not too many Raider type of QBs playing and Fields is gone. We will need to keep pace.

The only way I see it as a good sign is if Sammy is playing at an all pro level. I don't see that as being a possible event. A few steps below average is his ceiling. Be interesting to see who gets the pre season snaps. Mullens is probably on a pitch count to keep his noodle arm fresh so Hall will ...

Here is an odd schedule. Looking for the best viewership. Chiefs will be playing on six different days of the week. The only day the Chiefs WON'T be playing on is Tuesday. That makes the Chiefs the first team in 97 years to play on six different days of the week. Back in 1927, the New York Yankees p...

I hope JJ is able to sit the entire year. If he sits the entire year that IMO is a very bad sign. If he's good he will play. The only way I see it as a good sign is if Sammy is playing at an all pro level. I don't see that as being a possible event. A few steps below average is his ceiling. Be inte...

Vikings Insider Puts a Damper on J.J. McCarthy, Sam Darnold Camp Battle Minnesota Vikings rookie J.J. McCarthy will be the spectacle at training camp this summer as he hopes to unseat Sam Darnold as the Vikings’ starting quarterback to begin the 2024 season. However, even if McCarthy beats out Darn...

I think week 1. There will be grooming needed so they might as well get that started asap.

I can because I don't think it is clear that is what the Falcons were doing when they drafted Penix with the 8th pick. Normally teams use a high first round pick on players they intend to compete for a starting job. The Falcons spent a cool $100 million in guaranteed money on 4 year deal for Cousin...

Zim's defense always thrived on the mediocre and bottom feeder teams. That's one reason why he won many games. That game against the Lions when we sacked Stafford 10 times and beat him to a pulp is a great example. That was the good old Lions. Now they have one of the top OLs so it's a different st...

One could argue that it did happen to the Vikings that same year Nick Foles sold his soul to the devil to have the playoff performance he ended up having. Case Keenum was a little-regarded journeyman 3rd-string QB who ended up being thrust into the starting role and had an incredible year leading t...

Reports coming out now have Kirk making peace with the selection of Penix by the Falcoms. Kirk Cousins insists he isn\'t angry with the Atlanta Falcons for drafting Michael Penix, Jr. Cousins was asked on the \'Bussin\' with the Boys\' podcast if there\'s beef between him and the Falcons over the d...

There is zero question that the Vikings preferred JJ to Nix evidenced by trading up to 10 and not risking somebody else doing it. I'm going to play a little Devils Advocate. For those who are less than thrilled with McCarthy and the decision to trade a 4th round pick plus a 5th for 6th swap to move...

Here is the position-by-position list of 45 total players (alphabetical order by last name): Quarterbacks (2) J.J. McCarthy, Michigan (2024 first-round pick) Parker McKinney, Eastern Kentucky (invited as rookie tryout) Running backs (2) Jermaine Brown, UAB (invited as rookie tryout) DeWayne McBride...

Green Bay could go backwards. But they are young and did improve as the year progressed so it don't point towards that. They let Jones go and signed the younger Jacobs. He had 1600 yards 2 years ago and was an all pro. A guy I forgot was D.J. Wonnum he had 8 sacks for us and he's gone also. I'm not...

The only playoff win he ever had it was a road dog win and as usual Zim's D didn't feel like playing . That's only one example and there are others. After watching us pass on Rodgers twice during that draft and drafting nothing I think the Falcons made a smart move. If he was the top player on thei...
