I'm taking my account out of suspension today and getting ready to pay the ridiculous cost of watching out of market football games. Have you checked out Youtube TV? Looks cheaper than most cable options and get local TV as well as ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't got that quick first step anymore, and is behind a weak run blocking line. So, I see him getting caught behind the line again this season, like he was during all his post-injury time with the Vikes. I'm worried about the game, though. because The Vikings' OL has looked TERRIBLE, and Bradford will have very little time to throw. Their defence hasn't looked very good, and I'm worried that The Saints' high-powered passing game will chew them up. They may get tired early from Bradford not being able to move the ball. The Vikes NEED to win this game, if they want to make the playoffs. This is not accurate on many levels regarding Peterson. He has shown he still has a quick first step with the Saints in training camp, and even in the 1 preseason game he played he hit the hole hard, but there just weren't any holes against a talented Texans Defense with multiple starting Saints OL not playing. Mark Ingram also struggled in that game. That said the Saints actually have an above average to good Run Blocking Line. It hurts having Terron Armstead out, but they have a talented 1st round pick in Ryan Ramcyzk at LT, and added Larry Warford at Guard who should improve the OL for them. It is probably the best OL Peterson has played with in the past 5+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 That line looks bad to me, so its not saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to the Vikings I agree it's not looking good up front on the OL again this year. If you're referring to the Saints they have a good OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the guards are good and Brees gets rid of ball quickly anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose at this point it is a bit of an unknown how they will play without those 2 starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoutubeTV is great! Biggest drawback from a channel perspective is no NFL Network/RedZone, but I can get past that. The location thing is a bummer too. I think it goes by where you are when you're watching. So if I travel to Chicago, I think I would end up with the Chicago locals, even though I signed up in Minnesota. Think this is the case because I was visiting my parents in NW MN when I initially tried to sign up, but it wouldn't let me sign up there because it's technically outside of the "MSP market" (by under a mile).

I looked online it didn't see an update and he's not listed as the starter on your depth chart, but ourlads has been wrong before. I would have thought he wouldn't be back till week 5! thanks!

gopherwrestler Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Mike Remmers last 2 times he lined up against Cam Jordan allowed 4 tackles and 1 sack combined. Hopefully he can hold him to only 2 tackles and a 1/2 sack and that would be a good game for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
