I read the same thing about Villain.Maelstrom88 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 6:35 am Standouts for me were Addison and Villain.
Not impressed with Mullens at all. Threw a terrible pass to Addison and on his TD throw I feel like the underneath option was the right read.
Definitely some happy feet. At the same time though, that pass blocking was atrocious there on many plays.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2023 11:47 pm I fell asleep, but it seems like a poor start to the Hall era.
#27 Jalon Barnes was the CB that managed to not only miss an easy INT, but fall on his backside and allow the TD. It was a phenomenally incompetent play, reminiscent of the Bad News Bears.VikingLord wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 9:16 am Only saw bits and pieces of the game, but I was not impressed by Hall at all. Yeah, he didn't get great protection, but even when he quickly released the ball he didn't look sharp.
Vikings defensive secondary depth does not look good either. Booth was straight-up burned for an easy TD. I hope he's showing more in camp because he didn't look good. Ditto for the other CB who allowed the duck ball TD. The Seattle QB throws up a duck that has interception written all over it, a pass that the opposing defense would have to literally try to turn into a completion for the opposing offense, much less a TD, and the Viking CB in the area not only manages not to pick the ball, but he turns around and literally falls down backwards yards away from the play, allowing an easy catch and a TD.
I know its preseason, but KAM and KOC, this is literally the best you can do in terms of DB depth?
Maybe these guys are doing better in camp and just had some bad moments, but the secondary depth looked really crappy last night.
I still can't believe nobody drafted Pace. I thought if he made it to the 3rd he'd be a steal there, and I never imagined nobody would draft him. If it is because of his size then the NFL draft process is hopelessly broken. If there was something else there that wasn't publicly known maybe I could understand it. Regardless, the Vikings got away with highway robbery getting Pace as an UDFA. I wouldn't be surprised to see Pace supplant Hicks as a starter if Flores is given free reign to decide that.Texas Vike wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 9:44 am Overall, our starting D looked solid. Standouts included Luigi Villain, Tonga, Pace Jr., and Cine. Cine made a few minor mistakes, but his aggression is something we need. I can see a future for him on this team, unlike his fellow 2022 draft mate, Booth Jr., who got burned bad in the second half.
