How well do you guys expect Murray to perform?

Like Murray. He will have one run where he breaks a tackle for a long carry and will have a bunch on 3-4 yard carry’s where he can fall forward. 

Hes always been very consistent like this. Not a ton of yards after contact but usually will gain some yards.

 It would have been very interesting to see how things would have played out in New Orleans if the Chiefs hadn’t made the move up to No. 10 to draft Mahomes, one spot ahead of the Saints. Per a source who was present at the time, Saints starting quarterback Drew Brees and a couple of guests showed up unexpectedly in the Saints draft room not long before the Saints were due to be on the clock, and while Mahomes was still on the board. According to the source, the situation prompted Payton to give Brees a head’s up that the pick could indeed be a quarterback.

If the pick had been Mahomes, it’s entirely possible that he would be getting ready to play for the Saints tonight at Minnesota, and that Brees would have been playing for someone else this year.

Possibly, Brees would have been playing for the Vikings.

Finished the film breakdown of tonight's game. About 7 hours worth of film last night. Here's my 3 biggest things the Vikings need to do to win this game:

1. Score more points than the other team: In the entire history of the NFL, it's nearly a 100% lock that the team with the most points at the end of the game wins the game. So it will be crucial for the Vikings to score more points than the Saints if they want to have a real chance at winning.

2. Shut them out: If the Vikings score at least two points and the Saints don't score any, there's at least a 76% chance of a Vikings victory tonight. The Vikings strategy should be to stop the opposing offense and don't let them score. It's a risky move but history shows that the Saints can't win if they don't score any points.

3. Play Perfect Football: If the Vikings score a touchdown on every drive, don't turn the ball over, and don't give up a single yard to the Saints, the Vikings should come out with a victory tonight.

While that all may be true, you are really overcomplicating things. You could have stopped after your first point. It is as simple at that.

But on the off chance that scoring more points than the other team doesn't work, #2 and #3 are viable and realistic options for this team.

We'll see Sunday night when he shows up to play, but then starts limping after getting beaten.     Don't get me wrong, He's a great cornerback, but I could definitely do without some of his drama. 

You were saying?
