Detroit so far is a top 3 team in the league. And we should have beat them. We had the ball 1st and 10 with a one point lead with 3 minutes left and went 3 and out.

He's a threat to blitz and can get back deep in coverage. When he was out, teams were finding a gap behind the linebackers. I wouldn't put Gilmore in that category. He's been pretty unimpressive IMO. Sometimes he runs around like he's 60.

Couldn’t muster up 2 more plays for 5 more. Instead of a chain mover on 3rd and 4 Sam did his Jefferson stare down for a longer inc.

Gilmore (born a couple of months apart from the other aged fan fav Patrick Peterson)... Murphy... resign for vet minimums to battle for roster spots and boot Evans & Co. Problem is, it will take a global all-points bulletin to even begin to find 2-3 good CBs. Wild guess is they resign one of Gilmore, Murphy, and Shaq (say the latter), crown Blackmon, draft a CB, and sign a CB.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/20/2024 10:35:47 AM)
He either meant in not out or forgot out ‘there’.

quote: ORIGINAL: Todd M He either meant in not out or forgot out ‘there’. I deleted the whole post and instead ragged on the CB group. He may have meant the single game where Pace was out in 2023. Cause he's played in all the 2024 games.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/20/2024 11:13:41 AM)
Yeap. The consensus is that we need a DT and CB(s). While I don't disagree, I think a stud CB would push the D to dominant. More so than a stud DT. It would be great to get both but get the CBs figured out first. Now, where do you find the stud CB??? [>:] Teams aren't giving those guys away.

Good plan Someone will overpay for Murphy because of the INTs but he is average at best.

Chances are slim for getting a 'true' (lol, at least one poster here doesn't understand the parlance) shut-down corner. More reasonable to aim for two good ones.

Current top FA CBs from sportrac: Charvarius Ward, Carlton Davis, DJ Reed, Jonathan Jones... and lots of others Who knows who will hit the market. Would be ecstatic with Ward or Reed. Happy with Davis or Jones. Lots of under the radar guys that Kwesi could tap as well. If he could repeat 2024 free agency... next year could be exciting.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2024 2:30:38 PM)
I don’t watch a lot of other games does every game have booth initiated booth reviews? It seems we could have benefited from a number of quick checks from the booth. Shouldn’t have to throw a flag for a 6 yard completion called inc.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/21/2024 7:17:20 PM)
Jameis Winston is bat shit crazy. That’s all.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/22/2024 10:48:53 AM)
How about we start Reisner at RG, and whenever we have a 10 point lead or more, insert Ingram, to help the run blocking.

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/23/2024 8:14:47 AM)
. Josh Oliver remained out of practice on Friday and having missed every practice this week, it’s not surprising that he’s out for the game in Chicago. Hopefully his ankle will have healed and he’ll be ready to go next week. Gabe Murphy and Nick Muse are both listed as questionable, and are in their 21-day window to come back from IR. Murphy’s window is almost closed, so he seems more likely to be activated with a corresponding roster move. Muse could also be activated, especially with Josh Oliver out, but we’ll have to wait and see on both. Other than that, no other injury designations for the Vikings.

ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/23/2024 8:16:54 AM)
. From what I’ve seen, nobody has posted anything about Gabriel Murphy returning. He’ll probably be added to the 53 within the next week.

Mark Anderson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/23/2024 10:31:44 AM)
Should we try to sign QB Daniel Jones? He would be a better backup than we have now. Try to keep him around as backup/competition for JJ next year. Somebody will overpay for Darnold.

Mark Anderson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (11/23/2024 11:22:22 AM)
Akayleb Evans gone.
