y*so*blu Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I always liked Rosen. He's a good player who was dealt a bad hand. I think he should have the opportunity to start for somebody, but short of that, I'd be thrilled to have him as our backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I'm all in on Rosen for up to a 2021 5th rounder, we already have 10 picks (12 if you factor in potential comp picks). I'd at least make a call if I was Spielman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Clock management may be a factor in teams deciding whether or not to use the proposed fourth-and-15 alternative to the onside kick. The rule proposal, which will be voted on by NFL owners, is envisioned primarily as an opportunity for teams to get the ball back after scoring. That’s what the onside kick has always been for, but in recent years kickoff rule changes have made onside kicks harder for the kicking team to recover, so this alternative has been proposed. But it’s been largely overlooked that the rule proposal submitted to the owners says, “The Game Clock starts on the snap, and normal NFL timing rules apply.” So unlike an extra point, two-point conversion or kickoff for a touchback, time will run off the clock when teams use the onside kick alternative. That may dissuade some teams from trying it. Consider, for instance, a team trailing 27-13 that scores a touchdown and kicks an extra point to make the score 27-20 with 2:01 left on the clock. That team might decide it’s better to try to kick off for a touchback and not waste the two-minute warning, rather than try to get the ball back with the onside kick alternative knowing that the next play will be run after the two-minute warning. Or consider a team that scores a go-ahead touchdown with only a second or two left in the fourth quarter. That team might use the onside kick alternative just to have the quarterback kneel down and run the remaining time off the clock, rather than kick off and risk a kickoff return touchdown. If the onside kick alternative is adopted, there may be some unintended consequences — and perhaps some clock management advantages for smart teams to find. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/05/21/clock-will-run-on-onside-kick-alternative/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 It can't hurt to have the most talented team in the entire conference have a schism, even if I don't really like the reasoning for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I doubt I could make it as a public figure unless I abstained from social media. Trying to express yourself on platforms like Twitter and Instagram is more trouble than it's worth.

Add into that the fact that many people on those platforms have no interest in real substantive conversation in the first place. They want to throw out some tweet from some extremist website and say "See, I told you so, it's happening right under our noses!" We need to have a National Stay Off Social Media Day.

I saw someone call out Cousins, Thielen, and Rudolph for NOT saying anything about recent events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said person had no business calling them out, especially seeing what Rudy and Thielen are doing today (Thielen and the other guys who were at the memorial yesterday have also joined the event with Rudy today). Their actions speak louder than their words. Edited June 5, 2020 by swede700 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
