I actually thought he did quite well in games 2 and three this preseason. I think he comes back now that 3 players went IR. That means he should be able to count on him for a little over 11 games in the reg season this year. Not bad. [;)]

And eschewing field goals and extra points I have no problem eschewing XP kicks. Stats show it's better to go for 2. The kick should just be situational.

Nate -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2021 7:03:28 PM)
I saw the note in DN how the Vikes may have to go to more 3 WR sets with their troubles at TE. Oh no! We may have to run a modern offense!!

Colquitt is still on the vikings.com roster, but spotrac has removed him - he has a $1.7m dead cap hit....

The thought of a 4th down check down for 3 yards when we need 5 yards is not great at all.

It looks like we might have to wait ‘til next year to see what Smith Jr. can do as a #1 te. That stinks.

. . Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin Never mind: Vikings punter Britton Colquitt was at practice today and was on an updated roster (I had an old version from yesterday). His re-signing was just not announced by the team. i think that spielman managed to squeeze a couple hundred grand of cap space out of colquitt's original deal with an overnight cut and resign...every dollar counts....

Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/2/2021 12:12:52 PM)
The second coming of Sean Mannion. Fool me once … As Levine has pointed out, its just Spielman’s MO … to put the most non-threatening person possible behind the QB starter. Its a declaration of negative nincompoopism - Cousins looking over his shoulder is much worse than forfeiting the season should he go down. Fortunately, Cousins has this weird nerdy elasticism going on like Gumby … so that probably won’t happen. For any other season, its a no-ballsy trade-off … with a non-vaxxer starter, its almost begging for, at the least, a four game slide (or whatever the Covid protocols demand for possible exposure).

Its possible we saved money, but it was really about the roster spot: Chris Tomasson@christomasson 15h A savvy reader explained Britton Colquitt move #Vikings had to clear roster spot for Herndon by 3 pm today They couldn't put guys on 3-game IR til 3:01 pm So they release Colquitt for spot & he'll re-sign Thurs Then after 3:01 IRs of Smith Nwangwu Chisena they ink Griffen DePaola

Mannion is the ultimate Spielman/Zimmer back-up QB. 1. Completely non-threatening to Cousins because he's not an NFL caliber player. 2. Bad enough that even if Cousins struggles, the fans won't call for him. 3. Because he's older and been around the league (including with us), Zimmer has an irrational level of confidence in him if we need him.

Where did this narrative come from that Cousins would get his panties in a bunch if the Vikings ever had a good backup QB. He has never given any inkling of this and was very supportive of the Vikings drafting Mond.

Mark Anderson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/2/2021 12:32:18 PM)
At least we put Mannion on Practice Squad. Mond will be backup on Game Day. Unless there is a Covid deal or Cousins is out with a long term injury. Then we have to activate Mannion to 53.

Thanks, but this is still confusing to me. Did doing this cost us salary cap, save us salary cap or was it a wash?
