Reminds me of Chuck Knoblauch back in the day when he was in NY. Couldn't make a good throw to save his life.

Just what we need midway through the preseason. Walsh with a case of the Yips! :wallbang:

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.
Including now, HOF WR #80 Cris Carter

Teddy is 22 of 28, 1 TD, 0 INT on the pre-season? Seems pretty good. Glad they got him off the field.

That wind is brutal though..... I'm not too far away from the stadium and the wind gusts are really sparatic. No wind then all the sudden 30-40 MPH then back to none 2 minutes later. But I still have zero confidence in Walsh.

So from the looks of it, from gametracker, our run blocking is sucking, but our pass blocking is doing alright? Did Teddy get hit at all?

I wonder if Locke can kick FG's. Sit Walsh down for the rest of the FG tries. He's making me sick.

Tom Johnson should be a starter. Hes the best NT/DT now.

I thouhgt Locke did UCLAs kickoffs, so he may be able to.

It looked to me like Roberts should have caught that pass. I'm not too impressed with the Vikes defense tonight.

Me either, not by any means.

Carr is certainly looking better then I thought he was.

I continue to be unimpressed with Waynes. I disliked the pick at the time and nothing has changed my opinion to this point. I know it is still only pre-season, and I know it takes corners several years to develop. But as of now I have seen nothing from him that makes me like the pick any more than I did when it was made. (Note: I am NOT calling him a bust, simply stating I don't like the pick nor am I impressed).
