Is Rhodes ever truly healthy though? His name should always come with an asterisk, as he exits and re-enters the games a little too frequently for my liking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 19 minutes ago, whitehops said: that's actually pretty big news considering the saints were one of the most penalized teams this season, including offensive and defensive holding. This should be sorted by offensive holding. https://www.footballdb.com/stats/penalties.html?sort=oh Saints tied for 2nd most with 25 and the Vikings were right behind them tied for 5th at 24. Defensive holding was 16 for Saints (tied for 3rd) and 10 for Vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Rhodes playing to keep his job, Wayne’s playing for a contract, Hill young and actually has played well against the Saints, Kearse trying to earn a contract. Going to be a big game for these 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Big loss with Alexander and Hughes out. Hopefully they just keep playing aggressive football, tackling hard and getting turnovers, sacks and big hits. Really they should play with nothing to lose because few even think they will be competitive in this game most likely. Play aggressive and loose, better yet play angry off that Green Bay performance, the OL sure did this past week against Chicago it seemed. Got to believe a lot of the more veteran players especially on D are getting tired of either not being in the playoffs or losing when they get there.

With a healthy offense, we can do it, but it will be a battle. 34 would win it, but I do think that's high. Both teams will find success on offense, but it won't be big explosive and quick scores. Each team will force the other to drive the field and eat clock. Game could feature 4 total punts and still only be a 31-27 type game.

Maybe there is a similar setting for mobile to enable/disable. I personally found the signatures to be annoying, but I had to set one once after losing a sig line bet. I hope I don't still have that sig line. I think it said something about @SteelKing728 being a far superior evaluator of talent than me owing to the nature of the bet he won that related to what we expected out of some player. Iirc, the terms of the bet only involved me having to display that sig for some period of time but that does not mean that SteelKing is not still a superior evaluator. let's not get carried away now.. Lol. Just kidding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byuvike88 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 It'll be interesting to see how they handle the Nickel this week. Hughes is the best back up Nickel and with him out, I wonder if that means Kearse or if they slip one of Hill, or Boyd in there. I think Kearse might do well with Thomas's physical style of play but may not be able to really handle his quick moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm glad Sherels is back (again) but was really hoping Hughes would play. We need to draft another CB (again). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 What actually happened to Hughes? Did he get hurt in practice? This would be far from ideal but could Rhodes play in the slot? He used to when following WRs around some. Kearse did do decent there when Hughes and Alexander we out before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
