It was interesting that the Bronco's had Vonn Miller covering Cook in the screen game more than a few times. Miller was surprisingly successful in disrupting the screen or shutting Cook down after he caught the ball. Miller is still really, really good.

lomaxgrUK Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Well played guys. Takes mental fortitude to come back from a deficit like that, and 4 TDs from 4 possessions in the 2nd half says it all. Losing Janovich really hurt us Offensively but I think Zimmer just got a handle on our gimmicks and soon as he figured them out, we struggled to move the ball. Good luck the rest of the way. Ps - I have to say, Xavier Rhodes had a lot to say for a guy getting absolutely smoked by a 2nd year WR, but I suppose that's just a typical DB ...

Too bad he seems to want to move on next year. Where are you getting that info from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an absolute beast in college. He scored on his first touchdown in his first NFL game, and scored on his first carry of the year this year, and makes that ground game work. Wish he'd get the ball more. Rhodes can kick rocks, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s usually good for a costly PI or hold every game. At least he’s still confident I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tomasson I believe stated that he spoke to Kearse and Kearse said he is moving on after this year because he wants to be a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elflein probably needs to be replaced, but that's only one position on the O-Line that needs improving, and the Vikings can easily afford to use their 1st round pick for a guard in 2020. Don't you think they'll try to replace Rhodes, or get a very good interior DL with The 1st Rounder, and use the 2nd on the LG? Is there really going to be a LG that can come in and play right away that we'd want to gamble a 1st Rounder on? Seems to me that traditionally, the thinking has been that offensive lineman can be taught and coached to excellence, and technique is more important in the skills mix than for DL and CB positions where natural athletic abilities are more important in the mix for those positions. So, if a super athlete is still on the board where The Vikings pick in The 1st, they'll be compelled to grab him, and hope they can get a "sleeper of an OL in The 2nd through getting a good learner-late bloomer who will end up being more valuable than the teams ahead of us which also need an OL value him. I wouldn't go lower than 2nd Round on the OL, but that will mean that one of CB or DL will have to drop to 3rd Round, unless that position gets bolstered by a trade or free agent signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how much his off-field incident will impact contract discussions with Vikings or other interested teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever signs him will have to figure out if he’s a CB or S. Or maybe he just isn’t a fan of the area.

I don't know off hand right now, but I would say OG is a bigger need than CB or DL right now, although all three are considerable. With the Zone Runs the Vikings are moving towards you need athletic guard play (ironically where Elflein shines) that can also anchor on pass plays. They should still take the best value at the spot they draft at, however. Between Hughes, Hill and Alexander there is a solid group of young corners to bring back (Assuming Waynes is gone and hoping Rhodes is, too). Hill and Hughes are in what I would consider extensions of their rookie seasons and improving their play almost weekly. I'd still love to get a game changer at DL or a top flight CB, but I think the value will be at OG at the end of the first. All three are viable picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I love the win. I hate that they weren't ready at all in the first half Hate it. That won't work against the really good teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
