Hello From a Vikings Fan

Hey Board,

Just wanted to say hello and best wishes. Hoping for a clean, safe game on Sunday. Not here to talk too much trash, just that I hope we beat you guys but I can see the game going either way. When Cam is on, he's unbeatable. Truthfully, Vikes have been solid but not dominant in most of our wins this season. If a Vikings fan guarantee that we win any game, you should ignore them. 

Anyone care to give me some insight into your team this season. How has the Dline responded to the suspension of one of its best? Is Luke and Davis playing up to snuff? Have you guys finally replace Norman (I know some of your young guys looked promising last season)?

CJ hasn’t been one of our best for quite some time. But can’t ignore that the Saints ran at will all over us. Not sure the two equate or if that was going to happen with CJ in the rotation or not.

 

Good luck to you guys. Hope Cam is on fire and we make a game out of it this Sunday.

Charles Johnson is not one of the best, in fact he's not even one of the worst. Of everyone in our DL rotation, he's THE worst.

They didn't really run at will on us outside of Ingram's one big run. And we've been gashed in the run game before this year to a degree. The Aints are the best running team in football right now, losing CJ wasn't a factor at all.

first off thanks for beating atlanta

 

Our dline has been disappointing. Great in spurts but no consistency in creating pressure.  They also have given up more rush yards than we are used too. When we are on, we are superbowl worthy.  You can count on one hand the number of tackles Charles Johnson had this year.

 

Luke is amazing, TD is on the decline still a dynamic duo.

 

Secondary is vastly improved but still has a ways to go.

He did what he's done all year. Outside of Ingram's one run he rushed 13 times for 13 yards. Even with Kamara's runs, average that out and it is not at all running at will against us. It was a solid rushing performance from them but nothing special that CJ would've changed.

CJ is not one of our Dline’s best. That goes to KK, Star and maybe even Addison at this point. CJ is a vet though and knows what he’s doing, this can diagnose and set the edge so others can capitalize. Luke is playing as good as he always has and is one of the best, despite a less than elite showing last week, he was still playing well above average. TD seems to thrive when he is in with Luke and plays well but not like years prior. Norman was ‘replaced’ by Bradberry and Worley. Worley is still an unknown due to age but isn’t doing so hot according to his play. Bradberry is doing well/solid at this point but  seems to have a high cieling and potential if he keeps at it . I personally don’t see a ‘shut down corner’ potential but I do see a #1 starting, above average CB potential on a team with a decent Dline.

Honestly, our issues are on the offensive side of the ball. Not to say our defense doesn’t need tweaking but the offense is run by a below average OC and poor game/coach management all around. Add in the fact our WRs have been dropping everything, our RB is done but our HC keeps giving it to him due to favoritism and I’m pretty sure our LT is the most penalized oline man in the NFL (really) and sucks anyways, that’s where our issues are.

I hope for a good game and know we match up well. Also not sure if you’re in Minnie but I lived there and thank god that new stadium was built my balls literally came close to freezing and falling off.

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
