I am stunned. This reminds me of when we got Joseph. We lose money cutting Pierce and even a June 1 cut is a 0 gain Pierce was never going anywhere.

vikings209 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Tomlinson has played multiple spots along the defensive line in New York, which will give the Vikings options on how to best deploy him in their scheme. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/15/dalvin-tomlinson-agrees-to-deal-with-vikings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Giants fans are pretty pissed about losing this guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kparty15 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Even though he’s more of a NT I’m sure he’ll still offer more of a pass rush than Stephen and Johnson did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Rick struck out on all those DEs, OGs then pivoted to get a 2nd run stopping NT at premium pricing. Can't wait for how he sells this one. (Even tho the player is a fan fav, why cannibalize your Pierce signing?)

Freakout Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 For me it is simple. Tomlinson and Pierce are miles better than Johnson and Stephen. Teams are not going to just run over us like last season. They may not be considered as pass rushers but they can push the pocket which again is much more than last season. Plus, as I said earlier, hit the road Shamar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely realize the run defense should be better with Dalvin and Pierce compared to Johnson and Stephen, but from an asset utilization, there is question on if it was prudent if for example both Dalvin/Pierce come off the field on true passing down situations.

Can't see them both coming off the field during passing downs. If both together can collapse the pocket then that frees up the outside pass rushers. This is a better signing than people are giving credit to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeydudemanG Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 These signings are great but if we don't have at least one guard signed by the 20th and another one by the end of the off season and draft 2. I'm going to flip my lid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
