JDBrocks Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) that's not great. I was hoping they'd have DT back. Pollard is going to be a challenge. Edited November 18, 2022 by JDBrocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I feel like this is one the offense is going to have to win. No margin for stalling mid game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I'll stick my neck out for Booth, I'm excited to see what he can do with the opportunity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Hoping he cuts into Pollard's time. I'm less worried about Zeke than I am their "backup". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 It sucks that Evans has had 2 concussions already. Hopefully Booth is ready to go with a full week of starters reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 7 hours ago, JDBrocks said: Against Buffalo, Za’Darius Smith and Ed Donatell continued their pass rush shenanigans. On the third play for the defense – a 3rd & 8 for the Bills – Buffalo had to call a timeout. Smith was lined up as a middle linebacker. Donatell even had him a few yards off the line of scrimmage. That led to plenty of pointing from the Buffalo offensive line and QB. They were trying to decipher what they were seeing, allocating certain blockers to certain defenders. Unfortunately for Buffalo, they couldn’t crack the code fast enough. They burned a timeout to ensure Smith didn’t totally ruin their play. It was a subtle move that helped give the Vikings a bit of an edge. Savvy design from Donatell. https://purpleptsd.com/2022/vikings/opinion/zadarius-smith-and-ed-donatell/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less worried about Zeke than I am their "backup". Pollard is obviously a much more explosive runner, but they’re better when they have both. Pollard got gassed when he didn’t have Zeke to share the load a couple games back, and Zeke is a much better pass blocker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best young edge in the league Vs the best young tackle I hope Parsons is given the chance to play a substantial amount on the edges today. He was forced to play off the ball far too much against the Packers because they couldn’t stop the run. Anthony Barr hasn’t looked great this year, but do you guys think he is capable of having a “revenge game?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his last few years with the Vikes he was a "looks like Tarzan plays like Jane" kinda player. I imagine the Vikings will try to mimic the Packers gameplan and run it down your throats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re too talented to be this bad against the run. EDIT: Never mind about Barr. He got injured in the walkthrough, so he’s inactive.
