SemperFeist Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I know PFF significantly overvalues run blocking compared to pass blocking in their grading system, but when a player commits a holding penalty that negates a touchdown, they aren’t worthy of a 90+ grade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Over the past two weeks, the Vikings are averaging 132.5 rush ypg. That coincides with a healthy Darrisaw and not the situational anomalies from the first two games. That'd be good for 11th in the league in rushing, and 4.6 ypc is actually tied for 7th best in the league. I expect this trend to continue, just stop shooting yourself in the foot with the penalties and turnovers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that one percent of the cap could have been used to sign a real difference maker at backup center or guard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Sigh...I want to like this. I really do. But with his franchise-killing contract, it's hard to appreciate those pancakes. Maybe he could sign an endorsement deal with Log Cabin syrup that will add dollars to our salary cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
