Kevin Murphy with probably the worst pass protection I've ever seen. Literally staring at the DE for five yards, put your hands on him for #### sake!

Better hope the Vikings can find a better backup OT. Kevin Murphy is brutally bad.

Things confirmed tonight: Coaches ARE allowed to show emotion, and DB's ARE allowed to use their hands to play the ball.

Jeff Locke is just... bad. I am sorry to be that guy, but Jeff Locke is not impressive as a punter at all.

I take back what I said about Locke. All about the accuracy, but he has no strength.

Yeah that last punt from the EZ was a dud. The weather looks fine and after 5 punts Locke is only averaging 34 yards.

Ponder 3/7 for 39 yards with scrubs vs scrubs xD. And the usual couple of nice passes mixed in with a handful of WTF type passes.

Just send Ponder out for some Taco Bell, and put Teddy in for the reps.

I know it's only preseason but I don't remember the last time we held a team scoreless this late into a game. In fact our last shutout occurred on December 5th 1993 at Detroit. That was only 21 years ago (341 games including playoffs). To be fair, we did have a shutout in preseason just a few years ago vs Houston lol.
