Jarius was probably the only solid one we've had in probably the last 15 years...and I'm not sure most outside of us would consider him anything more than passable at best.   

He was reliable on 3rd down for Carolina, but that's pretty much it.

Minnesota was working in the red zone when Kirk Cousins lofted a pass in the back left corner of the end zone in Thielen's direction. The two-time Pro Bowler showed off his hops — and plenty of skill — by using just one paw for the score while also getting both feet in bounds. The score was cause for a massive celebration, as the entire Vikings offense seemed to mob the wide receiver in the end zone.

Thielen wasn't the only offensive standout in the passing game, as rookie running back Ty Chandler showed some flashes, too. The recent fifth-round pick from North Carolina turned on the jets on a simple swing pass to the left, using his speed to race about 50 yards for a touchdown. Chandler then found the end zone again in the red zone on a pass in the flat, beating two defenders to the front left pylon.

Not sure if Bradbury putting on weight will change anything about his play, if it was that easy to be a better pass blocker then everyone OL would gain weight and pretty sure it does not work that way.  Bradbury gets destroyed by powerful dudes like Akiem Hicks who look like Hall of Famers against him even though he has only been to 1 Pro bowl.  

 

Also adding weight does not make his arms longer or make him more powerful, now if he got all that added weight by increased pure muscle maybe but downing beef and ice cream that sounds more like eating more to gain more weight.  Wish it was all pure muscle but I doubt it.  

 

He better change something, his contract will be up soon but lucky for him there is no dude on the roster that could take his place which could be a mistake in the roster in not drafting a center.  Maybe the OL coach really likes his guy Schlottmann from Denver but will see.
