Worm Guts Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 So is Dobbs the starter going forward? Or would we go back to Hall if he’s healthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I thought Hall played ok. Certainly looked reasonably capable. Was ok at running but didn’t have the experience. Dobbs was most comfortable running the ball but did it very forcefully. Throwing he was fairly ok, OL didn’t help him as much today. Showed some bad pocket presence on some plays. Dobbs gets the start next week, regardless of Halls status sadly/unfortunately {for Hall}. Dobbs did enough (poise, end of game decision making, decent throws, runs) to warrant all first team reps in practice and on Sunday 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Mannion gets called up and Hall stays in protocol for the week. Then next week, Mannion goes back to practice squad and Hall backs up Dobbs. I think this is the most likely scenario, if Mannion is available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 If Akers isn't able to go next week, do the Vikings bring somebody in? Who can come up from the practice squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 An underrated aspect of this game will be the fact the Vikings committed just one penalty. That's incredibly impressive considering how many players were in and out of the game, as well as playing two different quarterbacks in a road game. The Falcons were assessed eight penalties for 62 yards. https://www.nfl.com/news/2023-nfl-season-week-9-what-we-learned-from-sunday-s-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I just read that Akers tore his Achilles tendon. Dang! I guess Kwesi will be making some calls. Leonard Fournette?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a good job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Following the Vikings' thrilling 31-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters they fear Akers suffered an Achilles injury, per The Athletic. Akers tore his right Achilles prior to the 2021 season. It appears he injured his left Achilles on Sunday after planting awkwardly while attempting to dodge a Falcons defender. Akers rushed eight times for 25 yards, and caught three passes for 13 yards before exiting the matchup. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/vikings-fear-cam-akers-suffered-achilles-injury-in-week-9-victory-over-falcons/ Edited November 5, 2023 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An incredible performance, especially as the team was desperate for continued drives by novice QBs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
