The Vikings were the same toward Tretter as every team in the NFL that needed help at center. Nobody is interested in Tretter...period.


Sounded like it was a miracle for him to play Sundays and he was only able to do that if he didn't practice all week.

And Kwesi saw him every day for the last 2 seasons. If any team has "inside info", it's us.

For ~ a yard avg and to save $50 I hope our new punter holds well enough to not mess with our kicking game.

Have we switched punters?

Edit: I see we cut Berry to pick up a CB..

God knows we need CB’s..



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/25/2022 11:20:45 AM)

Released Berry.



geoffrey greitzer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/25/2022 12:07:36 PM)

Daniels said explicitly that Joseph would be in on the decision on punters for just this reason.



beo -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/25/2022 1:11:22 PM)

Why do you get the sinking feeling that center play and field goal kicking doom us in a close game against GB in the opener... oh yeah, history...



marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/25/2022 1:27:35 PM)

That is BOC, before O'Connell.

Joseph is on a mission to kick the winning FG in the Super Bowl.

Can you imagine the tension we'll feel having to have the fg to win it? Itll be off the charts ...



Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/25/2022 3:36:00 PM)

I don't like waiving 25 yr old Hand and then replacing him with 29 yr old Tye Smith.

Hand is presently the better player and still has upside.

If your wondering who Smith is he was on our PS last season.

Do you really think Smith will make the team?

Blame the knee if you want, but Tretter was never even brought in for a physical.

As I've said all offseason, JC Tretter wanted to play for the Vikings. But the Vikings had no interest.

So, Garrett Bradbury it is.

DAMN: JC Tretter had interest in playing for the #Vikings but "Minnesota never returned our call."

Tretter announced his retirement from football on Thursday morning. #SKOL


Have this feeling we kind of dodged a bullet here.

Good points Dan.

Nobody in their right mind thinks Mullens is on level with Carr. Nobody with an openly hostile rejection of Cousins would call Mullens-types on par with KC.

Nobody thought Nick Foles would win a Super Bowl, and who in their right mind would think Keenum would take the team further than Bradford or Bridgewater ever did.



Those successes were the freak occurances. Normally when you put the back up in you get a shit show.

Further there is no way Foles carry's them throughout an entire season to the Superbowl. Wentz played out of this world that year until he blew his knee. Foles just played good enough and the Eagles coaching schemed around his many deficiencies. And he's had a very shitpile career since.

Keenum is what Keenum is. If you give him two great WRs who win most contested balls he' wont kill you but he throws up wounded ducks and again What has he done since? Bupkiss....that's what.

You can't pin your hopes on catching lightning in a bottle. The Twins have been trying that for years and it hasn't worked. You need to get as good a back up as possible and hope your QB1 can carry the team no matter who backs him up.

No. Maybe they thought Hand would clear waivers and they could bring him back but NYG scooped him up. If they had to dangle a player out there for 24 hrs why not Mannion.

Because KC needs his alter boy…



Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/25/2022 6:08:48 PM)

With 25+ players to cut there was no need to put anyone at risk.

Ah, they all know each other... it's sort of a subculture. Weird bunch, other players know not to get within 10 feet of them during a possible game winning FG scenario.

They probably back stab the long snappers during their get-togethers.

Ok Marty … nothing is impossible …

meaning its possible, in fact likely, even probable, that Mullens will spontaneously combust out of his slimy low-performing back-up pubescent larval form into a magnificent fiery butterfly … and win us a SB or two during KCs next covid episode. Before returning to the bench.


Case Keenum's one year, and mostly one play, is the Vikings version of "Well, Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round."

Vikings have interest in Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Michael Dieter.

Has experience at both center and guard and is only 25 years old.



I'm sure we have a coach of some sort who was in Miami.

I thought Berry was a good punter; new guy must be better.

Neither are staying:

PPete, Dantzler, Booth, Evans, Sullivan, Boyd, Hairston, and Nickerson are above him. 4 of the 7 are the same age or younger.



Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/26/2022 8:31:11 AM)

According to Kevin Seifert; ZED was demolishing Olineman at yesterday's practice.
