swede700 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Quote Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports that the Vikings brought in five CFL players for tryouts on Friday for future/reserve considerations. According to Tomasson, the list of tryouts includes: WR Brandon Zylstra (Edmonton Concordia-Moorhead) DE Craig Roh (British Columbia) DB Kacy Rodgers (Saskatchewan) DB Jonathon Mincy (Montreal) WR Darel Walker (Edmonton) http://nfltraderumors.co/vikings-worked-five-cfl-players/ Rodgers is the son of the Jets' DC...and of course, Zylstra is "one of us", and happened to be catching Carson Wentz' passes at NDSU's Pro Day in 2016.

Klomp Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The Vikings lost safety Andrew Sendejo for a game early this season for a hit to the head of Ravens receiver Mike Wallace, which dislodged Wallace's helmet. Sendejo's suspension was upheld on appeal, and, after Bengals safety George Iloka had his suspension for a similar play, a powerful helmet-to-helmet hit on Antonio Brown Monday night, reduced on appeal, Vikings officials were quickly on the phone to league headquarters to lodge their complaints. Sources said GM Rick Spielman was "livid" about the Iloka ruling, and wanted the football operations staff -- led by Troy Vincent -- to clarify or explain why the outcomes of these two discipline processes were not the same. The Vikings declined to comment for this report. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/vikings-other-teams-upset-at-nfls-decisions-regarding-on-field-discipline/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I would be upset also. But then again... Treadwell didn't get suspended for about the same thing Ju-Ju did get suspended for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treadwell didn't get suspended for about the same thing Ju-Ju did get suspended for. Neither did Julio Jones. The NFL has become to reactionary with their enforcement of the rules, misinterpretation of the rules, and their discipline. The only thing that explains Sendejo’s suspension is that the hit on Wallace was at least his 3rd such hit to that point in the season, and he had a couple others that were questionable. Sendejo needed to be sat down and corralled. I don’t watch Bengals games, so I don’t know what Iloka’s history has been this year. But, I’d past years are any indication, Iloka isn’t known for being a big hitter. Edited December 10, 2017 by SemperFeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill is a good backup, but I don't want to see Sirles or whoever would be next up if both Reiff and Remmers are out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I likely won't just because of the cost, but one of these years, I will take a trip to the east coast just to see the Vikings play...gotta get my debt down first though.
