  1. I would love to see a Brady, Cam, Matt, Deonte, Taylor line up. Maybe even swap Pat for Matt but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Elflien play center in the NFL.
  2. Agreed. I predict a first half lead provided by dominant defense. Until he proves us otherwise, Brady forgets how to adjust his game plan resulting in a lackluster scoreless 3rd quarter allowing the Vikings to get back into the game. The 4th quarter is a close back and forth defensive battle but again, Rhule leans too heavily on the defense leaving them gassed. Brady goes conservative on offensive instead of being aggressive trying to put the game away allowing the Vikings to bring it to within 2. We hang onto a 2 point lead until the final 2 minutes of the game punting the ball away instead of going for a 58 yard field goal. Vikings drive down the field against a tired Panthers defense and kick a game wining 52 yarder to win by 1. No CMC again, offensive line almost gets Sam killed, and we see pretty much the same crap we’ve seen since Dallas. But hey, we had an amazing practice on Wednesday, right?
  3. That's what I'm saying. Moton is set at RT. Armstead and Williams fix the left side of the line. A first round rookie Center preferably and maybe Deonte Brown develops and the line is fixed and set for the next 4 years in one offseason.
  4. Dump our cap into Terron Armstead and Connor Williams in free agency and draft the best Center available. Boom offensive line is fixed.
  5. Holy hell I thought the video was sped up when Rhule started giving his response. Nope, it was actually just the insane amount of panic in his voice.
  6. We have a second year NFL coaching staff and it is really starting to show.
  7. Sorry but this a terrible take. The offensive line in 2005 would be the best line this team would have fielded in the last decade. That allows a guy like Nick Going to look like an actual NFL running back and gave Jake enough time to sit in the pocket and deliver deep balls to Steve Smith. This current team cannot do any of that. We have plenty of talent at the skill positions and it shows flashes when Sam gets some protection. It seems like as the game goes on, the offensive gets worse and starts to falter probably because the other team is seeing what we are doing and adjusts to shut it down. On the other hand, I'm convinced Joe Brady doesn't know what he's looking at when it comes to opposing defenses and how to call plays to counter those looks. After 5 games, I don't think it is a coincidence that the offensive completely flatlines come the third quarter. Opposing defenses adjust and Joe Brady is either incapable of recognizing that or just too stubborn to give a poo. Running similar plays over and over to the point where opposing players know what a receiver is about to do before the ball is snapped has nothing to do with a players talent or ability to get open. It is nothing more than piss poor coaching and play calling.
  8. Yeah guys were fine. There definitely isn’t a single available free agent that can do better than that poo.
  9. We have an offensive line that ranks in the bottom 5 in the league and is dead last in some categories. These guys may not be an upgrade for those 20 other teams but these guys on their couch could be better than the garbage we’re putting out there currently. We will never know though if our staff just continues to sit on their hands. Edit: Also a lot of teams are cap strapped and we have like the 3rd most available cap in the league. A lot of these 30 year old vets aren’t willing to come back and play for peanuts. You think a guy like Richard Sherman, who may or may not have been an upgrade for us, would have come to play here for the vet minimum?
  10. We’ve all been saying that since before the season and it still hasn’t happened. If Erving wasn’t injured literally nothing would have changed.
  11. You can’t care about something like that when the line is playing this bad. Didn’t stop us with the kicking situation. You also need a backup center on game days so it’s not really taking up a roster spot. They should literally be trying anything other than what’s been on the field so far.
  12. This isn’t butthurt. I’m legit concerned our QB won’t make it through the season and we gave up draft capital to acquire him and already committed to his salary next season. The staff watching the offensive line do their best job to get Darnold killed on the field and not even attempting to do anything about it is alarming. I mean we all literally just got done watching Cam Newton’s career get ruined for the same fuging reason. They signed some guys in the offseason and it clearly hasn’t worked out. Bring in some new guys and see if they’re any better. Absolutely nothing to lose but some cap space this year which we have plenty of.
  13. Guys like David Decastro, Kelece Osemele, Brian Winters, Ben Garland, Russell Bodine, Hroniss Grasu Should all be getting phone calls seeing what there status is. I don’t care if they are coming off injury or were dog poo last season. I mean we signed fuging Pay Elflien and Cam Erving to multi year deals FFS. They should be doing everything in their power to make sure Darnold doesn’t get ruined in his first season here. We already committed 18.5 million to him next season.
  14. Rhule said it has to do with weight management and getting up to game speed in the NFL. I don’t think that would apply to guys who are vets in the league with years and years of experience.
  15. They’re only real weak spot on defense is their corners. They have some good DTs and Danielle Hunter is a freak. Once Darnold gets rocked a few times we are looking at Philly all over again, except the Vikings have actual weapons on offense that can put up points. Only thing we have going for us is Kirk Cousins isn’t mobile.
  16. There is no pity party. Our QB has been getting absolutely abused because our linemen can’t even get a hand on a defender to block half the time they’re so bad. Year 2 becomes year one again if Darnold goes full Jets because he is so shell shocked. This team has loads of talent and a winning record. We need to take advantage of that sooner rather than later before a bunch of young guys are due up for massive extensions. The staff has to do something with this line before the season is lost because what we are witnessing right now clearly isn’t working.
  17. Oh I don’t disagree, but saying we will have to pay Donte top 5 corner money is a bit extreme.
  18. Just prove to us, the fans, that you at least acknowledge the line is a huge issue and you are trying everything and anything possible to remedy the situation. There may not be any world beaters on the market but there are some vets that I can’t see being any worse than what we have seen from the guard and center position so far. Just saying you are looking for trades doesn’t stop your QB from getting hit almost 50% of the time he drops back.
  19. Out of the top 10 highest paid corners, only one is under 6ft tall and that is Tre’Devious White. He is 5’11 and pushing close to 200lbs. I don’t think that is a coincidence. I think Donte’s size will keep him from getting top 5 money. Donte will probably land in the 15 million per range which funny enough is where James Bradberry landed.
  20. Oh don't get me wrong Darnold was awful this game but his line and coordinator didn't do him any favors. The last int he should have went with the safe throw to Ian Thomas to gain back the ten yards we had just lost. It was 1st and 20 with the the incoming 2min warning. Darnold needs to be aware of those things in that situation. 2nd and 10 with 2 min and 3 time outs is not a bad situation to be in.
  21. The other guy in the booth with him though..... Ooh Wee Mayne.
