Re: Bridgewater Down


I guess this is a case where some of my skepticism about Bridgewater is paying off because I don't feel like his loss ends their season. I didn't have Super Bowl expectations (slim hopes, maybe, but not expectations) and I figured this would be another year where the team leaned heavily on the ...

Re: Options at QB

Hill/Heinicke/Stave.

I would have preferred the team addressed the backup position before such an unfortunate event. The team had plenty of opportunities to move on from Hill if they didn't believe him the best option behind Teddy. Perhaps the plan was for Heinicke to be the backup all along until ...

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread

So how late, if at all, would it be worth taking a risk with Boehringer? I remember there being some chatter about the Vikings really liking his raw talents and thought they might be able to get him as an UDFA. Then other teams started showing interest and it was starting to look like he might ...

I like this Brothers pick much more than that Beavers pick.

Doesn't sound like a Zimmer kind of player. Zimmer seems to generally prefer versatility.

Most of what I've seen, some are labeling him the second coming of Janikowski. Though people do make crazy comparisons when it's a player they really like.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread

My understanding is that Alexander is quite the smack talker on the field. Also seems smaller than what I thought Zimmer preferred at CB.

Re: Vikings select Laquon Treadwell

He didn't seem to be very thrilled when Interviewed. Hard to tell whether it was his Draft position or going to minnesota, but he wasn't to thrilled.

Perhaps he felt he was the top WR in this draft and seeing 3 guys go ahead of him rubbed him the wrong way.

Though I honestly thought the same ...

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread

With so much focus being paid to Treadwell and Doctson it seems many all around the internet haven't considered what if both players were to be gone by pick 23. So in that scenario would you try trading down or is there a 3rd option (someone likely to still be available, not a pipe dream) you would ...

I know it's already been reported that he is expected to be the starter but I'm really hoping that's misinformation and he's nothing more than a camp body. All I'm hearing and reading about this guy is that he is a liability in coverage and is a very bad tackler.

Re: Vikings sign LG Alex Boone, formerly of the 49ers

I suppose this means that Harris will not be returning.

Move Fusco back to RG and park Boone at LG?
