I found this scouting report of Brian on YouTube. This guy is IMO very knowledgeable and he loves Brian. The first thing that stands out to me is that Brian looks tiny as a LB. The second thing that stands out is he is really fast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltB-lt1h7sU

A lot of college teams never put their QB under center.

Chris Simms and I think the other guy is Mike Florio (help me out if I'm wrong) Discussing the Richard Sherman interview with Lewis Cine. The Bucs promised to draft Lewis Cine at 27 and didn't keep that promise. The Vikings seemed to know that the Bucs would have taken him at 33 so declined the Pukers offer for 32. This Kwesi guy might be pretty smart after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wdaPvdG6V0

From under center. yes, but i think that just lining up under center is the first action of the 'play fake', that is play-action....

Maybe there will be more formations of 2 RB w/o Ham? You start mixing and matching the speed the team has in the backfield of Kene, Chandler, and of course Cook and things could be quite fun. a couple of years ago, i ran into a tweet cj ham's wife wrote encouraging people to vote for ham as a pro bowl player...i was touched, and so for the first time in my life, i voted for an NFL player to make the pro bowl.... that said, we can save $2m in '22, and $3m in '23 by cutting ham this season...it would help sign a tretter or hicks or richardson, and right now, i'd vote for that....

I was never a fan of the power I formation… During the past decade or longer, nothing screamed “here comes a hand off “ more than that under center snap to the Qb, with a fullback and halfback stack, Wr, slot receiver and TE alignment. Get the F out of that dinosaur offensive set!!

Kirk Cousins registered 93 pass plays from under center w/o play-action last year. Mac Jones was next at 55, and no other player had more than 36. I'm waiting for the social media intelligence community to break this down and tell us exactly what it all really means ...

I'm waiting for the social media intelligence community to break this down and tell us exactly what it all really means ... It's an average of 5 plays per game where he lines up under center and it isn't a fake run. Mac Jones did it about 3 times a game and nobody else more than 2. If Cousins was under center 20 times a game the D should know 3 out of four times it is going to be a fake run that ends up a pass. If Mac lined up under center 20 times 6 times out of 7 those would be a fake run that turns out to be a pass. Etc........

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (5/20/2022 4:43:49 PM)
. . i was just looking at an unofficial depth chart of our defense...virtually all of the outside linebackers seem to be ex-defensive ends, not converted lb edge rusher types...and then there are inside linebackers and what i would call interior d-linemen, but more types than I'm used to.... players listed as 'left defensive end' that were defensive tackles before, and then there are nose tackles and just defensive tackles listed...it looks like we could keep 10+ d-linemen on the 53-man roster.... as a general observation, it seems that we're going to have to carry more 'defensive linemen' than usual because there are more specialists...i might be wrong, but it seems that these players aren't great special team players either.... true linebackers, we'll only carry about four, or five at the most...i.e. kendricks, hicks, lynch, asamoah - maybe one other - we recently added udfa william kwenkeu who looks like a hicks type of physical linebacker...players like dye and surratt i think get cut because they're not physical, or edge rusher types.... i wonder if o'connell makes some early cuts/changes to the roster for better 'player fits' for the new defensive system...we have carryovers from last year's roster that don't have an obvious role with the present vikings' system....

Cook as a WR often, if healthy, he can become the Vikings' Deebo.

Speed kills, especially when you can create mismatches. That is the name of the game. Get a big guy against a little guy or a fast guy against a slow guy and exploit it. Zimmer and company never really caught on to that. I'm sure these guys know it well.

bstinger -> RE: General Vikes Talk (5/20/2022 10:32:51 PM)
What I've heard is more 1 back, 1 TE, 3 WR.

Good idea, with only one TE on the roster. (33 RECs his first two seasons and didn't play last year) Any combination of RB + WR + FB + other > 2 TE + anything.
