I'm a Georgia Bulldog fan and Walsh was bad his senior season.... I want to say he got benched one game. I have never been confident in him.

Walsh definitely needs to pick up his FG game but I'm becoming more concerned about the starting offense repeatedly stalling. Can someone refresh my memory: have they scored a TD this preseason?

Was Line's TD with the first string?

I agree, it doesn't look all rainbows for the Vikings right now. The DLine is getting no rush on the QB either.
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." ‪#‎SKOL2018

I want to say no...... And that is definately more concerning.

I thought they have, but regardless, I completely agree. I've posted about after each time too. Didn't think after the first one in Pittsburgh it would be a recurring theme.

It seems like there's always plays that are so close to extending the drive, but they just aren't getting it done. That lack of execution is the kind of thing that haunts teams.

If Blanton could not whiff on a tackle right after I talk him up...that would be great...

It will, but it's still concerning. All players need to execute.

Man we are getting owned, on both sides of the field.

Hows Zimmer suppposed to have any faith in Walsh anymore? I hope they bring in a kicker, not only to push Walsh, but the time may come when we need one.
