Will Levis 1st game
Levis had 4 TD passes in his first game. I remember him from last years draft so I checked the message board. There's always good input during the draft and a couple said we should take him because we need a guy behind Cousins to take over when the time comes. There was an article posted saying the Vikings were very much interested pre draft. Of course KAM traded our 2nd round pick for stone hands so that also but us in a bind. Hooker was also mentioned but I don't think he has played yet. I watched his highlights against the Falcons and as Levis said during the combine I want to show off my cannon and he did it here. Man can he throw the ball. That always a huge plus because defense need to cover the entire field. Of course the Falcons have no pass rush and Levis could step into every throw. If we draft a guy he better have a rocket arm or at least as good as old man Kirk.

Re: Will Levis 1st game
For the record, Hockenson has been dominant in his last two games. He's catching everything and getting tough yards after the catch as well.
Not sure what caused his struggles in the earlier part of the season but they seem to be gone now.
As far as Levis goes, I thought he was a good prospect coming out, but was not sold on him in the 1st round and definitely didn't want the Vikings to try to trade up for him if they were set on taking a QB. He went with the first or second pick of the 2nd round, so I don't think KAM could have swung a reasonable trade up to snag him even if he did have the Vikings 2nd rounder last year.
He had a good first game and it will be interesting to see how he does as opposing DCs get more tape on him.

Re: Will Levis 1st game
It's only 1 game and tape wasn't involved yet. The story is just starting. The draft is always great to follow and the follow up is good discussion points. The guy fell for a reason. Maybe bad interviews or stuff that don't get published. Titian fans must be happy.VikingLord wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 1:02 pm For the record, Hockenson has been dominant in his last two games.

Re: Will Levis 1st game
KAM should have pulled the trigger. By the end of this year, barring injury, most will know that. Write that down.
We got a good WR with out first pick in Addison and hes the real deal.
At some point we HAVE to draft our own QB and we just let a good looking one get away

Re: Will Levis 1st game
I was huge on Levis last year. Wish we could’ve taken him but it probably would’ve meant missing out on Addison.JJBreaksRecords wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 10:08 pm KAM should have pulled the trigger. By the end of this year, barring injury, most will know that. Write that down.

Re: Will Levis 1st game
Looks like he has a Kirk problem and can't perform in prime time. Maybe that's why Kwesi said no thanks we will find a better guy later on.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 2:15 am This was his line tonight.

Re: Will Levis 1st game
Hockenson now leads all NFL tight ends in receptions, on pace for 113 and more than 1,000 yards. Yes, he has more receptions than Travis Kelce.VikingLord wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 1:02 pm For the record, Hockenson has been dominant in his last two games.

Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Re: Will Levis 1st game
TJ has been a warrior for this team, including playing with what must have been a fairly painful rib injury this last weekend. He's been worth every penny of his extension since he overcame his early-season struggles, and if this team gets to the playoffs and does anything once there this year, Hockenson is going to be a major reason why.J.

Re: Will Levis 1st game
Nice efficient game today for Levis 13/17/158 & 2 TDs. Hard to believe he got beat.
