Xavier Rhodes is always questionable. He has a tendency to get dinged up a bit. I think Alexander will likely be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Im hoping for a great week 1 matchup between us. There is a lot of hype going on for both Minnesota and San Francisco, but, regardless of who wins, both teams should be playoffs contenders all season long. Good luck, and let's hope that stupid penalties and injuries have no place in this game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jimmy G connects early and often with Goodwin and Garcon. Trent taylor will be our 3rd down go to guy again and the Oline limits the Vikings pass rush to a pretty average day. The niners Oline is not being given enough credit, it's going to be among the best in the NFL, combined with Jimmy's quick release and decision making I think as a unit it will grade out high over the year. This Vikings offense is no joke they can really do some damage. I'm a believer in Kirk Cousins but we can survive some early big plays knowing we have our own gunslinger ready to counter. As long as our secondary of Tartt, Colbert, Sherm and Spoon remain on the field the entire game I wont doubt they can come up with a big turnover at any moment. Keep an eye on Colbert causing a fumble or two to Dalvin Cook who struggled with that in college. I'm curious who matches with Diggs/Theilen, Our secondary is really getting tested out the gates. Have a hard time seeing Minnesota give up 30 plus points at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't going to change nor are the corners going to match up with a specific WR. They will just play their respective sides. Yes, Sherman stays on the left side, but my point was who see's more of Diggs and inversely more of Theilen? 2 hours ago, Forge said: Thats a hot take A great center can have a big impact. Joe is still Joe despite people trying to write him off past 30. Solid depth overall at the guard spots too if someone goes down. The changes look to be very positive compared to the last several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have some really nice potential on the line, but I don't view our guards nearly as well as you do, and McGlinchey is a complete unknown. With 3 new parts on the line in a ZBS, it should also take time to gel. I wouldn't be completely surprised if we had one of the better offensive lines in football when all was said and done, but I'm just one of those guys who has to see it first. Love the optimism though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did put 44 points on the jaguars last year (I know, context), so it's not impossible we put up some points against another elite D. I personally think we might struggle. But Kyle is a great coach. I'm coming into every game this year thinking we might win. And thinking we might put up 30 points, no matter what defense we're facing. It won't happen every week, but some weeks, the game plan and the execution will just click. The question will always be: can the defense pull its weight? So we're missing Foster this week. No other major injury (does Malcolm Smith count?). We have a rookie LB and a CB returning from a major injury, and a very questionable pass rush. I don't think Cook beats us running, but he might receiving. And give a guy like Diggs enough time (due to lack of pass rush), and he'll get open for Cousins. Overall, I think we'll give up a few big plays. It's a matter of making our big plays on offense as well, and convert field goals into TDs. I picked the Vikings to win, but I hesitated. They're just too good of a team not to be the favorites. We still have to prove our 5 game winning streak wasn't just garbage time glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So our starting linebackers are going to be Warner at MIKE, Coyle at WILL? and then who at SAM? Marsh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the optimism though! McG is an unknown yes, but a #8 overall pick in my mind comes with the expectation that he's going to be solid. Now's the time i feel I can get away with being overly optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
