Re: Vikings vs. Cardinals thoughts

Sloter looks like the best QB on the team and they begrudgingly want to give him the third slot on the depth chart :whistle: :puke: I think Mannion is a good #2. What I do want to see is the Vikings groom Sloter to push for the QB1 next year if Cousins can't lead this team deep into the playoffs th...

Re: Vikings officially decline Laquon Treadwell’s fifth-year option

I agree. They don't have a #3 right now. The other thjbg is the Vikings WRs have not shown they can stay healthy either. That's probably one thing Treadwell has done is play every game since he's been drafted. Watching the WRs today outside of Diggs, I think 250 and a 1 TD would be optimistic for a...

Re: Vikings officially decline Laquon Treadwell’s fifth-year option

So what you're saying is he's a useless sack of dead weight and we should trade him for a pack of Doublemint gum if anyone is dumb enough to give up that double-minty flavor for him? I just don't see Treadwell having any impact at all on our contention. Is it his 1 touchdown in 3 years that impress...

Re: Treadwell trade?

First half of the Cards game confirmed my fears. I don’t think we have anyone after Diggs/Thielen. Granted Cousins played very poorly himself but the WR depth chart was really poorly thought out. I agree... The reason I thought 4 WRs is because they have Irv Smith who could be like a WR, and he cou...

Re: Treadwell trade?

In 2018 the Vikings had 17 undrafted players, and 15 1st and 2nd round players on the 53 man squad. Unrealistic. You only get one pick per round absent a trade so I'm not really sure what you're trying to support with this anecdotal evidence. You're obviously not going to have 30 top round picks on...

Re: Holton HIll Suspended Again

Yes, it was helmet to helmet. But the problem is he was a runner. Not saying that makes it better, but once a runner, runner rules should apply. If he wants to slide, he needs to start sooner. I'm not saying that Hill wasn't in the wrong, but when QB's start their slide late, it's only the defensiv...

Re: 3rd Round Pick: RB Alexander Mattison

Wtf, I was at the game and I don't remember that. When did it happen? First play of the second (maybe third?) drive when the Vikings started inside their own 10. Couple plays before the huge pass from Kirk to Adam. (If I'm remembering correctly). When it happened, I turned to my wife and said "...

Re: Holton HIll Suspended Again

Watch the hit at full speed. Then watch is slowed down. HIll lowers his head at the same time Lynch starts his slide. Just bad timing all around. I think Zimmer had it right when he admitted that while Hill shouldn't be leading with his head like that, a quarterback should be treated as a runner if...

Re: 3rd Round Pick: RB Alexander Mattison

Man I thought he was hurt bad also. Was so glad to see him back right away. Held my breath! Especially since he fumbled. I recall either AD or Cook fumbling from the pain when they tore their ACL. Looked almost like the same thing. I heard they changed the field this year, wonder if that helped. Wh...

Re: Holton HIll Suspended Again

It was a terrible hit and they were right to eject him. The QB was sliding head first and he hit him with the crown of his helmet. In a freaking preseason game. If a Seattle corner did that to Sloter people would be going ape ####. For as much talent as hill has, he clearly has nothing between his ...

Re: Holton HIll Suspended Again

I think he punched his ticket out of town with his ridiculous helmet to helmet hit. I don't think he was there late necessarily, but he freaking launched himself into Lynch's head.
I don't want him on the Vikings any more. Hopefully now he won't be.

Re: Vikings trade for Vedvik

I can't figure out how he only kicked 70 fgs in training camp. With that said, trading for this kicker/punter makes no sense. Wile was really good, especially in the second half, at punting last season. And he seemed to be a good holder. And can this new kicker not hold? Why are we using our likely...

Re: Vikings trade for Vedvik

None of this makes much sense. Wile is an average to above average punter but we’re replacing him with a good FG kicker. To potentially keep the struggling FG kicker. And then we have Beebe holding for some inexplicable reason. Let’s just assume Beebe is a great holder, even if that’s the case, his...

Re: Treadwell trade?

It would have to be a team who needs a WR who thinks they are close to competing. I highly doubt the Giants (as some have suggested) would be interested unless they like him enough to extend him now, which would be stupid. If Shurmur saw anything out of Tread while he was here, he will make that tr...

Re: Vikings trade for Vedvik

The dude they just traded for was snapping? I was making a joke. It was a bad one. LOL, well with the Vikings and special teams, anything is possible. He could snap it back, quick run and catch it, and put the ball on the ground. Then, hop up, move back a few feet, run up and kick it before the bal...
