vike daddy Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 KOC: "My number one role I see for this organization is to be a constant rock of steadiness and being the same guy every day. Anybody can do that when things are good and things are easy, or you're not experiencing adversity. I believe leadership is showing those things that you say you're about, authentically and real. That doesn't mean that you don't go through the same things right alongside your players and coaches, but you got to do it in a way that provides a path always, moving forward and constantly chasing what we're trying to chase around here. "I learned a long time ago that there's no sense feeling sorry for yourself, for your circumstances. There's a place to be there for your team on a 24/7, 365-day basis, but never without projecting hope and genuine excitement because that's how I feel about this organization and our players and coaches." https://www.vikings.com/news/vikings-2024-preseason-concludes-roster-cuts-ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Jared Allen: "From the Vikings' standpoint, I like where they're moving. The J.J. McCarthy thing was sad, it's unfortunate. I think he has a bright upside, especially with Coach O'Connell. I think O'Connell is going to do a great job. With Kwesi and everybody there, I really like where they're at from a leadership standpoint." VikingsTrueFans.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little different, but I was always amazed at Nolan Cromwell being a long-time WR coach in the NFL, considering he was one of the best safeties in the NFL when I watched him play.

Tomlin was an All-Yankee Conference selection in 1994 as a wide receiver at William & Mary. His first three coaching positions was as a receiver coach.

viking Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) A good week 1 for the KOC offense. Started off strong with 21 points in the first half however 0 points scored in the 2nd - even a couple of field goals to close out the game would have been excellent. Again like the start of last season we had a sloppy fumble lost - we won't beat the next teams on our schedule doing that.

wcblack34 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 IIRC, Darnold's interception wasn't his fault. The two turnovers aren't ideal, but it didn't feel like they were sloppy with ball security on the whole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
