If Mond can connect with Beebe in rhythm I have no doubt he can connect with others....just is who he practices with.

Put Mond in with some 1st teamers...I remember seeing Dante sit the first year and show zilch....teamed him up with CC and Moss; no issues. You mean the Daunte picked #11 in the first round of the draft who started year 2 for offensive minded coach Dennis Green with 2 HOF WRs RB Smith and an OL that had Steussie Birk Dixon Stringer? Insert Mond next year because Culpepper was good in his second year? I'm sure the next comparison will be 3rd rounder Russell Wilson ... if he can do it Mond can. It doesn't have anything to do with how Mond plays or practices or the specific situation he'd be in? What are the chances that a 3rd rounder is going to be any good ... much less usurp an above avg QB that, unfortunately, the regime has tied the financial stability of the franchise and their jobs to? I truly hope Mond defies the odds but he has to do that on merit, not just because lightning has struck there before.

Ben Goessling @GoesslingStrib ·4h Will Parks’ name has come up with the #Vikings before, and now that he’s back on the open market, he’s a candidate to land in Minnesota, per a league source. Vikings might need safety depth and special teams contributions with Xavier Woods and Josh Metellus banged up.

In three preseason games, our quarterbacks have thrown exactly 0 touchdown passes. Someone forgot to tell our staff it was a passing league.

What's with these Diggs players? RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks are dealing with another hold-in situation, this time with Pro Bowl safety Quandre Diggs. Multiple sources have told ESPN that Diggs, entering the last year of his deal, has been seeking an extension from the Seahawks this offseason. He's healthy but has not practiced this week, instead watching from the sideline. "I think he's making a bit of a statement now, but I have nothing for you to update," coach Pete Carroll said Friday. "He deserves to do that."

The team just looks rigid out there. Denver and KC were running around like they had already digested and passed the learning part of it ... we look like we're running around out there with bowel problems - still trying to digest and figure things out. I guess its not a huge surprise given all the new veterans, starters and coaches, and that we seem to be holding out a few more key players than other teams. It's frustrating but you could almost predict it. That being said, as much as Zimmer annoys me, I agree with what he said in his presser that the really scary thing is the lack of urgency. We got bullied last night during the part of the game that mattered.

Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/28/2021 11:42:38 AM)
Also, we haven't even gotten started and Cousins is already going to drive me insane if he doesn't open it up a bit. After the game, he stated that coming away with [three] points 'felt good.' Really, a field goal was the highlight of your preseason. Half the time when I watch him play - or - when I don't watch him play but listen to the posters in here that champion his great stats ... I think that it's not his fault that he lacks success ... its just a bad OL or playcalling or some other exterior factor. Then I watch him play - even a meaningless preseason game - and it stands out how quickly he reverts to a safe completion with no impact over a riskier attempt down the field that might extend a drive or gauge a defense. He's the poster boy for taking what a defense gives you.

Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/28/2021 12:06:52 PM)
Anyhoo – should be interesting cutdowns to 53 plus the back of roster tampering with rejects from other teams.
