Vikes thread!

Yes Suh steps on people hands, pokes in eyes, anything he can.  Maybe he has mellowed.  He had been around for awhile now so let's hope so.

Ndamukong Suh's timeline of dirty plays: Infamous NFL heel has repaired reputation with Buccaneers

2019 & 2020: Relatively calm seasons with Buccaneers

Suh signed with the Buccaneers ahead of the 2019 season and re-signed for the 2020 season. He's been one of the most consistent defensive players for Tampa Bay on unexpectedly strong defensive units.

Suh's high-penalty ways have mostly disappeared, with only five flags thrown on him in 2019. He had 6.0 sacks in 2020, the most Suh recorded in a season since 2015.

Big question is, does he have anything left in the tank and would he fit in? 

[dutchboy]

A boy named Suh.   

Yep drafted by Detroit, he played college at Nebraska when they had a D1 program.

[LPS]

The 49ers said that Garapallo can seek a trade.  He is coming off shoulder surgery on his throwing arm.  He has twice as many wins as losses compared to Cousins 50/50 record.  We have an opening on the team and I would love to see Jimmy here although it probably won't happen. 

[Ramone H.]

Purple and gold fan here! Cant wait for the season to kick off!

[Boar]

Good to hear ramone, ya got something going for ya!

that was a compliment Ramone

[KEN W]

I don't think the QB is the problem. The defense needs to inprove A LOT.

21st in Touchdowns Allowed
22nd in Passing TDs Allowed
24th in Points Allowed
25th in Rushing Defense DVOA
25th in Yards per Pass Alowed
25th in 2nd Hallf Points Allowed
26th in Yards per Play
26th in Rushing Yards Allowed
26th in Defensive Penalties
26th in Defensive Penalty Yards
28th in Passing Yards Allowed
29th in Yards per Rush Allowed
30th in Yards Allowed
30th in First Downs Allowed

And the absolute worst 2 minute defense!!!

That is pretty pathetic.

But there going to the super bowl this season!!!

[mike89]

But there going to the super bowl this season!!!

right on!!!   

[Steve-o]

But there going to the super bowl this season!!!

Yes, for two teams with well run organizations the catch a little luck along the way.   

[dutchboy]

But there going to the super bowl this season!!!

You are correct!     Tickets have been purchased for section 213, Vikings organization bought the whole section. Players have the first option followed by coaches.

WWMTD?  (What would Mike Tice do?)   

 

[LPS]

He may sell a few that he didn't need.  No big deal. 

[Ramone H.]

No worries here!

[glenn57]

right on!!!   

well. i'll admit i am pretty interested with how the season will go with the changes made!!!!!!!!

hell.........i might even like cousins this year!!!!!!!!

[Steve-o]

Yeah, it will be fun to see if Cousins performs at a higher level for a coach who doesn't hate him.  (Recall that they finally started watching film together last seasons for the first time to try and get on the same page.)

Or will we find out that Cousins is who we thought he is...  a .500 lifetime QB can put up good numbers from time to time but doesn't lead his team to victories.

Still, the biggest indictment against the Zimmer era is what Ken noted below:  Zim - the defensive "Guru" - had the one of the worst defenses two years running.

[LPS]

Cousins leaves practice early and goes home sick.   Better dump Mond and Mannion and find a real backup QB.  I had hoped Mond would develop but doesn't sound good from what I have read. 

[Cooperman]

Kyle Sloter is available.

[glenn57]

Kyle Sloter is available.

so is Brent Farve........Warren Moon.......and a few others!!!!!

[fishwidow]

Jeff George.

[Steve-o]

Kyle Sloter is available.

The Jaguars re-signed E.J. Perry, the quarterback they originally cut to sign Sloter, with the available roster spot. Perry joins C.J. Beathard and Jake Luton below starter Trevor Lawrence on the depth chart.

Sloter couldn't beat out E.J. Perry, C.J. Beathard, and Jake Luton for a spot on the Jaguars roster?   

Um...     Sloter to the Vikings?     No thanks. 

[LPS]

They did confirm that Cousins has covid again.  He will not be with the team on Sunday.

  Why do I find that so hilarious?   

[LPS]

I know, it just is isn't it??       We better get Garafalo or someone with some moxy or we are going to be toast if Cousins goes down.  Very curious to see our preseason games with our backups.  As much as I hoped Mond would pan out, it isn't looking good.  Mannion is a big NO as an option.  Garafolo has won twice as many games as he has lost and has won playoff games.   Just thinking out loud.  LOLOL

[glenn57]

hey dutchy.......you buddy Paul Allen is calling the game on the #9.

They are going to want everything BUT the kitchen sink for Jimmy G & he is damaged goods. How many games has he actually started for SF the last 3-4 years? Regular season...........50-60%, maybe. Not worth 2 #1's, a couple # 2's & 2-3 later round picks IMO.
