swede700 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) So again, it wasn't that Haslam wanted Berry, but moreso that Spiels and Company again convinced him to stay. He's our version of Eric DeCosta. Once Spielman decides to step down, Paton will be there. Edited January 24, 2020 by swede700 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no better option than running the ball to set up the pass because it wears defenses out. You just have to have right personnel to make it work. Cook was one of the best backs in the league and this offense would do well to bolster the offensive line because it didn't show up versus the 49ers. Like none of this is factual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if it’s and indication that Spielman won’t be here past his current contract, whether that’s the owner’s decision or Spielman’s decision. I can’t imagine that Paton would be so willing to stay if the common thought was that Spielman would be around for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I’ve pleaded my case for this over the past few years to help out QB’s, but it does. I hope Kubiak can pick up on something new and use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the defense not allowed to touch the running back until 5 yard past the LoS scrimmage? If not than the passing game probably does fine there as well without the running game "setting them up" Edited January 25, 2020 by Dolmonite26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Surprised Gary is taking the OC job. Figured it go to Klint with Gary in the background no complaints though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 This just affirms my opinion that Paton knows he’s going to take over the Vikings job sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a little different for coaching candidates. John DeFilippo is a prime cautionary tale. It only takes one disappointing year for your star to fade, if not disappear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
