I've seen some 90+ yard punts with an amazingly bounce but not too many 80 + in the air.

for sure, wright has a booming leg, but he's got to work on his out-of-bounds punting, and coffin corner punts.

Call it what you will our pass D is our weakest link and Kwesi went 0 for 2 on #1 and #2.

Kwesi could really control Cine getting a season ending injury right? Booth we don't know yet. Could still end up contributing well this year.

Cine has 0 impact and didn't look like he'd rise from that. That's why he allowed himself to be injured. He wanted to save face.

Booth probably will be the same.

F for Kwesi.

i think that with our scheme it's difficult to tell how good our d-backs are...receivers just run out to the zone space that we give them and they're wide open...I'm assuming that for the most part, the d-backs are doing what they're supposed to do, or guarding the space they're supposed to guard - there just isn't enough of them to shrink the spaces....

I've never liked zone coverage - it's kind of 'prevent' light....

So what is Booth jr doing exactly. He's not been out nor a healthy scratch but has yet to record a stat.

With Booth trending toward the Laquon Treadwell of CBs... I'm not impressed.

But to be fair... with a bunch of early time missed... how do you mix him in?
We need nickel improvement the worst... Chandon Sullivan makes some big plays but gets torched a BUNCH.
But Booth is an outside guy...
And I don't see them switching out PP or Cam.

So not sure how he gets on the field.

we should trade for jaycee horn, Carolina...give them as little as possible, but horn is a rookie and ranked #11 in the league....

i'd offer a 2nd in 2023, and a 4th in 2024 - he's a 1st-round pick, but cheap because his signing bonus is out of the way....

i really thought that the weather was going to kill us yesterday - i spent six weeks in naples over the summer, and playing football in all the gear - brutal...plus, our poor defense had to be on the field the entire 1st half....

Looked at the stat line on my phone when Miami went up 3-0 and we had like 20 yards of total offense=yuck

That must have been brutal to watch. Glad we snapped out of it.

6-5 the rest of the way, and the Vikings will win 11 games. I think it will be 12 or 13.

You never change. I took you off Iggy because I thought that after the Puke lost to go to 3-3 and the Vikings won to go to 5-1 you'd be singing our praises and admitting that the Puke Suck. Instead you're talking about our 5-1 team maybe going 6-5 the rest of the year.

He said he thinks it will be 12 or 13. I'm not sure what's so terrible about that considering the rest of the schedule is going to have some tough games.

Seems like you are right - and I"m not sure they snapped out of it, Bill, but there is 24 points on the board some how.

Couple things I like:

1) Kirk seemed frustrated on a couple of drives and it seemed he didn't care in years passed or kept quiet.
2) Kirk's quote that last year we would look good and lose; I would rather have it this way and win and know we can play better.

I don't have a link but I do have a picture sent to me with two different thermometers from Fox Sports showing a 30 degrees difference on the sidelines - home team in the shade, visitors in the direct sun light, off course. That'd be brutal.

Call it what you will our pass D is our weakest link and Kwesi went 0 for 2 on #1 and #2.

Kwesi could really control Cine getting a season ending injury right? Booth we don't know yet. Could still end up contributing well this year.

Cine has 0 impact and didn't look like he'd rise from that. That's why he allowed himself to be injured. He wanted to save face.

Booth has been hurt most of camp and probably will see time after the bye. Ingram has started from the beginning.

Like you said when Cine got hurt, the pressure is off Kwesi.

At least we got it from the horses mouth when Kwesi said Cine is doing well on special teams.

Incredible we had 14 drives.

Incredible the average # plays per drive was 3.5.

I had Horn in the lower rung of what was sort of the second tier of CBs... Booth, Elam, Horn, probably 1-2 more. Would have been ok with any of them but Booth was at the top of that tier.

Jordan Davis is looking like a great pick for Philly. Teams are rotating linemen when they have the linemen to do it.

Saw some Sauce Gardner who IMO was out of our reach going with the philosophy of needing more picks not less. Sauce looks destined for greatness.

it showed the vikings at 120, and the dolphins at 90....

i thought then, that there was no way we would win the game - especially with the defense on the field over 19 minutes in the first half....

His Post-Game Show went on through the night, packers this and packers that. I envision him being the host like when Kramer got that Merv Griffin stuff out of the dumpster and held his own talk show on Seinfeld. Topics this week: Masterful play calling, Packers, Players injuring themselves, Packers/Rodgers, Should we blame UFOs for 9/11, Packers, Sway Part XVIII, Packers won the SB.

Za'Darius Smith recorded 11 (!) total pressures against the Dolphins, second-most of any player in a single game this year.

Smith now has 29 total pressures on the season, second-most of any defender in the NFL.

So our Punter broke the record for most inside the 20 punts in a game....old record was 6 and he had at least 7 according to PA.

Patrick Peterson recorded four pass breakups and an interception on Sunday.

The 32-year-old now has the 16th-best PFF grade and the 6th-fewest catches allowed per coverage snap among starting CBs.

If you watch the Dalvin Cook TD run....Ingram moved his guy out of the way and also got in the way of 2 other defenders at the line of scrimmage to free up Cook.
