You really think a half-assed attempt at fixing the Oline is the way to go? It hasnt worked for us, at all, and it wont with Kubiak either. The battles are won in the trenches. You have to spend quality picks on them just like any other posistion. Why do so many think its fine to address the Dline/...

I would say finding an offensive lineman in the 2nd round that goes his entire rookie year without giving up a single sack is finding a solid offensive lineman. So whatever your opinion is on Oniell is your opinion but not giving up a sack your rookie year in over 500 pass blocking snaps is often u...

For those who think the Vikings didn't make a play for Kevin Zeitler ... More at the link. Great post Kapp. I also wonder how much the incident for Griffin caused by the mental issues came into play in the decision. I'm sure quite a bit. A risk/worth situation to Browns mngt I'm sure, and also as u...

The question I would ask is how successful the Kubiak OLs were during that time frame? It could be that Kubiak is the coach they've been looking for to compliment the strategy of not taking OL early. The history you detailed certainly supports that position. It could also be another season of chall...

I dont know if your on speed or if thats the way you type, and expect people to understand the point you are trying to make. Its annoying. You realize Case had the most wins out of the other bums Rick signed or drafted right? Rick has NO insight when it comes to QBs, he lucked on Case being a bette...

The problem with the Oline, that some fans apparently cant see is, its HAS BEEN NEGLECTED for too long. Its something our GM choses to ignore, and instead signs an overpriced QB to try and compensate. Which ofc makes no sense, because with no support from the Oline, both pass protecting AND run bloc...

And do you get a dollar for every time you mention Lock's name? You really think he would be there at # 18? Or that Rick would ever move up to draft a QB. Ricks fails, then panics, there isnt going to be a Lock waiting for us.

You have to remember, Rick doesnt know a thing about QBs. Nothing. He has proven this time and time again, and never ever has a back that he is grooming. He prefers the Sam Bradford/Kirk Cousins types, overpay and hope someone else coached them up. He is quite simply horrible at his job, but so man...

Make the Super Bowl or see you. OK might as well just throw them out now. Winning our division will be difficult enough. I always rag on the Bears QB but he did better than I thought. Still a developing player also. My bad on that one. The Bears are the team to beat first and that won't be easy. Th...

In all the years Rick has been with the Vikings as GM he has yet to put together an offensive Line of any quality. So it probably won't matter what round he picks OL. :confused: Exactly. I think its partially out coaches fault for not being able to coach up right after they are drafted. All the tra...

Dozier was cut by the Jets... to make room for Tom Compton. Yeah, here's to hoping someone can beat him in camp. Wow, I hope we aernt in that bad of shape, where we pick up trash that other teams toss out to make room for someone like Compton. I wonder who was cut to make room for who ever signs Re...

Well, so far, Ricky has resigned Jones (who we never even used last year, which is amazing since Elf is a sub par center) and Kline (who no other team even wanted after last season, which IS the season that counts). Great job Ricky!!! Now draft your 1 Oline player in the first 3 rds, and maybe anoth...

One of the things that happened on offensive was Rick failed to replace Berger when he retired. Berger was probably our best offensive linemen. Not replacing him should have been a crime. Then Easton went down and that hurt. Elf played like crap the whole season.nobody was really expecting that...h...

So Rick knew what a talent Theilen was, but waited to pick him up until he was undrafted. ok, gotcha LOLOLOL Dude did you literally not read that post? You want to say I’m like a “gnat that keeps bothering you”, look at yourself right now! You’re like a child. That clearly didn’t read my post. I ca...
