KOTN-93 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Joseph and Hunter both practiced today. So Cook appears to be the only major player outside Ev to miss the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bspice Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 I think they put Mo on Thielen most of the tine and double up on Diggs with Nickerson and a safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erncredible24 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hearing we are promoting Deontay Burnett from the practice squad to help out with wr issue. I just watched highlights of him in USC with Darnold & they looked good together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is second in the NFL with 185 completions and has thrown for 1,921 yards, fifth in the league. Nearly a third of Cousins’ completions have gone to Thielen. Despite defenses starting to key on him, Thielen hasn’t slowed down. Thielen leads the NFL with 58 catches and 712 receiving yards. If his stats are projected over 16 games, Thielen would finish with 155 catches, breaking the NFL record of 143 by Indianapolis’ Marvin Harrison in 2002. And he is on pace for 1,899 receiving yards, not far from the league record of 1,964 set by Detroit’s Calvin Johnson in 2012. Hall of fame wide receiver and CBS analyst James Lofton: “Adam has short-area quickness and the ability to change directions. In addition to that, he has a really good understanding of what the defenders are trying to do against him, where their leverage is, and working against their leverage, and also finding the holes in zone coverage.” https://www.twincities.com/2018/10/19/charlie-hennigans-family-watching-closely-as-vikings-adam-thielen-closes-in-on-an-nfl-record/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs is the one I’m more worried about bc of our matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Cook’s absence, Latavius Murray has 54 carries for 261 yards and a 4.8-yard average. He scored the Vikings’ first rushing touchdown of the season last week against the Arizona Cardinals, when Murray rushed for 155 yards on 24 carries. Zimmer: “He’s a guy that needs carries with the physicality of things. I’ve said it a million times, I like Latavius and the way he approaches the game. Typically, he’s not a one-carry-every-quarter guy. He’s a guy that needs the football some. I don’t know about that big of a workload, but the longer it goes, usually the more effective he is.” https://247sports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings/Article/Injuries-altering-Vikings-in-week-game-planning-123515430/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimuraGod Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I’d much prefer a bigger stronger back running against us than a shorter shifter scat back. Always seem to handle the power rushes but Iv probably just gave us the kiss of death now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeyer Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 With Pryor out with a tear in his groin, now we are really thin at WR. If the Jets know this at the being of the week why didn't he pick someone up, now it is to late. Now we are down to Kearse & Anderson, who we are not sure he is 100%. I sure hope Macc, isn't thinking about playing PEAKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby816 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I think the only way we stand a chance of winning this game is Robby, Kearse, Crowell and Powell all having good games. Any 1 of those 4 don’t... and I think we lose. So it’s not looking good. I think with their offense and our banged up secondary, we will have to put up 30+ to win. Meaning those 4 guys have to step up. Herndon is the “x” factor that can possibly have a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the odds are stack against up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
