Re: Vikings v. Raiders Game Thread - August 8th
I won't go so far as to say Teddy looks like Ponder lol, but he's looking very rookie-ish. Holding the ball way too long and he's just 3/8 for 24 yards. It's not looking good for those who want him to start in the opener. Cassels opening TD drive didn't help his case either lol. Thielen looks like he's going to make the team the way he's going.
I don't like all the 3rd down draws. What's that about? At least 1 was a Teddy audible on 3rd n 19. Come on Teddy, we want to see what you can do on 3rd down. I've seen enough McKinnon, 12 carries already xD. Like someone else mentioned, he doesn't look as explosive as I thought. He looks pretty shifty in the open field though. I think he broke Woodsons ankles on that 1 play haha.
And the secondary already looks so much better. I think they've had more knockdowns in 1 half of a preseason game than they did in the entire Frazier regime. Hey what do you know, DB's can use their hands.

47 already looks better then Rhett.
Re: Vikings v. Raiders Game Thread - August 8th
Teddy's still out!
Re: Vikings v. Raiders Game Thread - August 8th
Looked like the TE was open in the flat on 2nd down, bridge didn't see him.
Re: Vikings v. Raiders Game Thread - August 8th
Going be an all new ballgame for Walsh the next two years. He's probably already looking forward to 2016.
Re: Vikings v. Raiders Game Thread - August 8th
Yep. Or he realized that he'd held the ball too long by then.S197 wrote:Looked like the TE was open in the flat on 2nd down, bridge didn't see him.

At least Teddy is looking better than Carr.
And Locke seems to have improved quite a bit!

Paul Allen has no idea what he's talking about half of the time. It's getting ridiculous. lol.

Re: Vikings v. Raiders Game Thread - August 8th
Boo birds for Ponder lol. I don't think even I would go that far at this point xD.

Re: Vikings v. Raiders Game Thread - August 8th
You ain't kiddin. I don't enjoy listening to PA during televised games, he calls them like he's on the radio. Maybe he's doing radio and TV at the same time?Funkytown wrote:Paul Allen has no idea what he's talking about half of the time. It's getting ridiculous. lol.

Don't they usually have Spielman in the booth in the 3rd quarter during the preseason?
