SemperFeist Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 If Cook is only out for the 10 days, he’ll be eligible to come back for the game against the Packers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sort of low quality takes you see on big social media, not here. I say that as someone who is vaccinated. That's all I'll say and don't want to divert the thread any further.

Even just thinking critically about these claims, if 94.6% of the NFL is vaccinated, then one would expect that at least one player would have developed these issues or died. Has not happened. The death of expertise is a sad, sad thing to watch. Edited December 24, 2021 by wcblack34 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Cook gets better soon and can help our team in any way that he can. Give it a few months and we will have moved past vaccination statuses. Onto the booster shots! With many of these players being held out, including Cook, is he actually sick? If so, get better. If not, the NFL needs to rethink some things this offseason. If you’re vaccinated, your hospitalization rate is low. If you’re 20-39 years old, your hospitalization rate is also really low. Especially if you actually take care of yourself and your health regularly. Edited December 24, 2021 by vikingsrule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticNorseman Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) The twisting and turning of political topics through social media has definitely affected a sport we love to watch, and only a few blessed are able to play at the level of D-1 college and the NFL. It's a very disheartening, possibly dangerous, time for us all. As for the Rams-Vikes game, Without Patterson in attendance, I guess we'll get to see if the Zimmers can scheme and stop the Rams . . . I feel like Patterson's a voice of reason to the D-linemen when the DBs have a penalty that keeps them on the field, when they should've got off the field on a 3rd down passing play. I think the Vikes are in the top 3 of giving up a 1st down when the opponent passes on 3rd down? In any case, I expect the Rams to run the ball . . . they'll want to control the clock and keep the Vikes offense at bay. They'll want to wear down the D, knowing full-well that the last 4 minutes of each have are a free-for-all points-wise for them. For the Vikes O, they need to protect Cousins -- not just from Aaron Donald -- but the blitz. I think the O-line needs to make call adjustments better, so maybe having Cole at C solves that problem a bit? Bradbury's good, especially when the play calls for him to play in space on a stretch or screen, but when it comes to close quarters combat, the guy only wins 30-50% of the time. That's too many one-on-ones he's losing. I'm excited to see Kene get a few touches -- I swear, to me, when he runs . . . it looks like the scenes out of Forrest Gump where everybody else is standing still. Definitely reminiscent of Patterson in that regard, but he seems faster? JJ and the WR Corps (hopefully including Theilen) need to flat-out dominate and crush the Rams will. Even then, that team will hang around and find a way to make it gut-wrenching for both fan bases. Reason being, the Vikes D allows it. So, I don't anticipate the Rams will be out of the game, ever. I only hope the Vikes don't have to claw their way back into it in the 4th quarter, only to come up short . . . but, I'm used to that too. Ooops . . . hadn't heard Mason Cole was moved to IR.

wcblack34 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Mason Cole isn't great, but he's definitely better than Oli at this point. Honestly, if I were the Vikings, I'd consider running a two-back set on nearly every play with Ham's duty being to help out with Aaron Donald. Against Bradbury and Udoh/Dozier, Donald could single-handedly win this game for the Rams if the Vikings don't disrupt him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
