It would certainly be a long time, but if he's the right guy, you wait. The Titans waited for Jon Robinson and the Lions waited for Bob Quinn until after the AFC Championship Game that the Patriots lost to the Broncos. It's only 2 weeks longer for the SB...and especially with an assistant GM, he can already be sufficiently prepared with his plans before signing the contract, as all he'd likely be doing for the current organization is delegating his current duties off to someone else until a replacement is found.

SteelKing728 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 All 3 tight ends (Sirles was eligible and lined up at TE) would have scored here. Props to Shurmur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Keenum ranks 27th of 27 quarterbacks in yards per attempt with more than 50 passes thrown on third-and-long. Naturally, Tom Brady is at the top of the list. On the flip side, Keenum ranks No. 1 in the NFL in yards per attempt on third downs with five or fewer yards to go. He completed a 41-yard pass to McKinnon on third-and-2 on Sunday. The Vikings have the third highest conversation rate on third-and-short at 62.5 percent, only ranking behind the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions. The Vikings’ wide gap between third-and-short and third-and-long success leads us to one conclusion: Running success is more important to the Vikings than it might be some other teams. Latavius Murray has been very good on first downs. If you subtract first-and-goal situations, he averages 4.7 yards per attempt, routinely setting up manageable second downs and third-and-short situations. Kyle Rudolph plays a key role in setting up third-and-short, too. Rudolph has the second most catches on the Vikings on first down passes deemed as “short” by NFL official play-by-play. He’s caught 18 passes on 21 targets. While only seven of those have gone for first downs, the others have acted as glorified run plays, giving the Vikings an opportunity to convert on third-and-short. The Vikings appear to struggle on third-and-long because opponents have no fear of run plays or screens as they would on third-and-short. http://www.1500espn.com/vikings-2/2017/12/vikings-third-long-struggles-say-offense/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
