I hope Jones gives them all the info he has. There's a 95% chance it'll be wrong given his time here...

Then again, if he tells him we're going to miss all the assignments that he would miss, it might be accurate as ****

Seems that he's not thrilled with all the 12/ 22 personnel. You're a star WR and you're tethered to an archaic offense.

Both Thielen and Diggs have turned into drama ViQueens.  Maybe it's Cousins, maybe it's Zimmer, maybe they both just drank too much of their own cool-aid for too long.  Regardless, this whole situation will be interesting to see how it plays out for sure.

The Vikings organization just looks bad.  Gotta point the finger at Zimmer a bit.  He threw John DeFillipo under the bus last year and replaced him with a guy who is getting even worse results.  They spent a bundle on a bad QB, and he's quickly becoming a basket case.

and remember that before DeFillipo, Norv Turner walked out in mid season.  This is like a 737, it's going down and they're not sure exactly why.

Kumerow is apparently awesome, Gute should trade him to the Vikes for Diggs.  He is Touchdown Jesus, after all.

I read (or heard?) somewhere that Cousins had Thielen on his radio show and kinda kissed and made up publicly - which indicates to me, Cousins kinda knows he's in the crosshairs and is feeling the pressure. Be interesting to see how it affects his performance. Cool under pressure isnt a trait I'd assign to him. 

But - if life becomes to harsh on the guy - he could simply walk away and go fishing for the rest of his life. What with the WA contracts plus this MN deal....monetary concerns were wiped off his radar screen a long time ago.

Ben Fennell: 

Bucs are 2-2 and showing flashes of some really good football. (1 point loss to NYG on boneheaded missed FG, should be 3-1 but that's life) Getting solid contributions from quite a few 2 year sophomores... Vita Vea, Carlton Davis, MJ Stewart, Ronald Jones, Jordan Whitehead

Winston/Arians looking good in PA concepts:

Play Action: 21/30 (70.0%)
5 TD, 0 INTs
152.1 QB Rating (1st in NFL)
And WR Chris Godwin leading NFL with 23 catches for 1st downs!

Chad Graff: 

Will Stefon Diggs play Sunday?
Mike Zimmer: “I don’t know. We’ll see.”
Would he not play as punishment for skipping practice?
Zimmer: “He’s already been punished.”

  • Peter Bukowski:  Yeah, they gave Kirk Cousins $84 million fully guaranteed. That’s punishment enough.
