There were a number of players that had down years last year. Griffen, Rhodes, and Kendricks come to mind. Those are really good players who are key to our team who were disappointing. I do believe that success is largely pre-determined. Would you add anyone else to the list? Perhaps Linval Joseph.

Last offseason, we had fat entitled expectations from a 13-3 season and spending bazillions in FA (and on our own). This offseason is leaner and hungrier.

For great football talk go to minutes 32 to 42. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/139-paul-allen-kfan-fm-1003-26980875/episode/92noon-friday-football-feast-45799040/

Not sure how that would be different from last season. I think I agree. Must have been a huge disappointment not winning the NCCG and knowing that the pieces at the time of last year's TC were at the very least arguable better than what we went into the NFCCG with hense wouldn't the motivation be sky high for last year's season - the top of the mountain is close, if we just put in a little more effort ...

Some information on Conklin (don't call me Gronklin) that I wasn't aware of here: https://youtu.be/FPKTpKHC83c

Watched the one about "Hunter left vs rt side" figuring he would give some data out regarding sack % from each side. Nothing.

Not much else going on.

When TE Irv Smith Jr. was drafted by the #Vikings in April, his father Irv Sr., immediately reached out to Kyle Rudolph and asked him to look after his son. Smith Sr. had gotten to know Rudolph since he had been a Notre Dame TE before Rudolph played there. Chris Tomasson on Twitter

Stephen Weatherly has made $1,328,820 in career salary to date and is slated to make $720,000 in 2019. If the #Vikings longterm offer comes in the ballpark of $8M-10M GTD, it'd be super tempting. (Andy Carlson on Twitter)

#DidYouKnow the Vikings were tied for 1st with the patriots with a 91.8 team tackling grade in 2018 PFF on Twitter

Not much here that we didn't already know here, but it's cool to go national. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/06/09/vikings-install-rookie-garrett-bradbury-as-starting-center/

I mean, it was already awkward that the Vikings drafted Smith, but it would have been even worse if they used a first rounder on Noah Fant, or traded down in the first round to select Irv Smith, Jr.

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/9/2019 11:58:07 PM)
43 on offense and 43 on defense. 4 on special teams. You know, some of these players are not on my radar. I mean, who the heck is Karter Schult? I looked him up and he's one of the players we signed from the defunct professional football league. I look forward to becoming more familiar with the players soon. https://www.dailynorseman.com/2019/6/9/18659082/current-minnesota-vikings-90-man-roster

We need to stop spending so much on D. It's no secret that our OLine was one of the worst in the league and we were 29th in spending. Lets even this out a bit. Good for Weatherly but he and Harris are a dime a dozen in this league.

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/10/2019 9:47:28 AM)
Perhaps the Vikings are looking for a better holder for the place kicker. https://thevikingage.com/2019/06/10/report-minnesota-vikings-work-punters/
