Dantzler was bad in coverage, but he made up for it with poor tackling, except for one play where he must have closed his eyes and got the solo tackle. On a serious note, he lacks the size to take on bigger receivers (or TE's, or RB's) and he's not exceptionally quick. I don't see the upside. And PP...

The Detroit game did not make the TE situation look any clearer. Ellefson got some snaps and made some plays, Irv Smith was inconsistent again and Johnny Mundt didn't have much action as a receiver. Looks like KOC will just platoon these three guys as they seem pretty interchangeable.

A lot of bad individual performances led to the loss last night. JJ had a rough night... could not get separation and gave up on that one play that ended up intercepted in the end zone. He needs to get serious again. Thielen was missing in action until garbage time, but at least he showed he can sti...

Still a small sample after the Philly game, but a few thoughts on the TE situation. Cousins targeted the tight ends a lot more against the Eagles. Smith, Jr. had 8 balls thrown his way, caught 5 for 36 yds and had that one horrible drop on the long pass. Despite that awful drop, he looked decent and...

I see a lot of successful offenses with a real TE1 being featured as a receiver. In Week 1, we saw a lot of Mundt, some Ellefson and some Irv Smith, Jr against the Packers. It doesn't look we are using any of them very effectively as receivers. Specifically, what is the deal with Irv Smith, Jr (0 re...

Vikings waiving QB Kellen Mond. (via @TomPelissero) pic.twitter.com/Yf9c72PZ94 — NFL (@NFL) August 30, 2022 OLB Janarius Robinson gone Mond has decent physical skills, but his vision, accuracy and decision making were too weak to even develop. Better to cut bait and go with Mullens. Does this mean ...

In the press conference after the game, Zimmer was asked if he knew how close JJ was to the record. He answered “Yes.”

Then, he added: “I don’t care about records. I only care about wins.”

Dick move, no class, good-bye, don’t let the door hit you in the a**.

If Zimmer really thought Bridgewater was the best QB he had while in Minnesota, that just confirms that he needs to go. I really like Teddy, appreciate his leadership and he went through a nightmare and I get all that, but he was never a Tier 1 QB and never will be. Bradford and Cousins both have va...

So what do we really know about Mannion? Is he mobile? My guess is “not very” Does he have a strong arm? How’s his accuracy? Can he read defenses like a veteran? Can he make the utility throws: outs, screens, etc.? Can he be decisive in the pocket, or is he going fetal and taking sacks? I mean, they...

All I can do is stock up on Ripple to dull the pain of what we are about to see.

A few observations after watching that terrible football game. 1) Whatever they're feeding the Bears defense on game day, we need some of that. I have never seen Dalvin Cook stood up and knocked back play-after-play like that before. 2) I sure hope Thielen gets better by Sunday, because we really n...

I predict a close game and we lose because Zimmer went for 2 pts twice and failed on both. A missed extra point is always a possibility, too.

Cousins had a bad game. He made several bad throws at critical times. The dirt ball to Jefferson in the end zone. The overthrow on the 4th down to JJ in the end zone. Even the second TD to Thielen was poorly thrown, requiring extreme acrobatics from #19 to catch the ball. His long ball game was not ...

The Wilf's will wait until the season is almost over, or over before making a call on Zimmer. I have my doubts whether Spielman would get fired with a losing record, even with his 4th rounder deal for Herndon and all the other dumb decisions he has made. I would deal Dalvin Cook for some good draft ...

This team is trying to kill me... they are maddening to watch. We should have pulverized Carolina. :ripple: Now they've crawled back to .500 just to lift our hopes slightly... we're in for a bumpy ride, guys. Cowpukes are next! I kept thinking that it sure would have been nice to kick those two extr...
