Guy was an athletic freak and actually did great in all sorts of roles with Virginia Tech. Just weird. Exactly. Truesdell is nothing but athletic potential, just like Hodges. It’s shocking that no one has signed him to a futures contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Also interested to see if we IR Stephen and who we end up activating. Guessing it would end up Lyons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. After that game we just saw, I think the NFL will want more of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they thought he was farther along in that area, or that he could be developed quickly there. When they realized it would be too long a process, they moved on. Blake Bell has been a solid addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even cut him. Teams must of saw something during the draft. Look how he fell, for how athletic, and how well he actually played with the ball in the air or in his hands. You usually don't see receivers/TE/corners that are super athletic freaks at the combine just not get a good shot in the NFL. I really believe it is off the field stuff, not like trouble off the field, but possibly work ethic, how he fit in the locker room, ect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Well, Bohringer, no one else wanted him. I believe someone snatched up Hodges and then let him go as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, we already did that one after the 2009 season...I'm not sure they'd do it again. On a side note, did you know that the 2 victories by the Vikings over the Saints are the only victories the Vikings have in the series over the last decade? Prior to this year, the Saints had won 4 in a row, including the 2009 NFCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what alternative is better? The NFL wants storylines for the openers, and most of the time they're predicated on something that happened in the playoffs. If the Vikings win the Super Bowl, that's the only possibility under those parameters. Had Shurmur gone to Arizona I could maybe see that, but that's about it.

swede700 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I don't believe it's ever happened in the history of the franchise, but I'd love to see the Vikings open up at home against the Packers in Week 1...every time before that they've played Week 1, it was at Lambeau. But, you'd have the overriding story of Barr-Rodgers returning to the scene of "the crime" (at least according to some Packers' fans).

SemperFeist Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 If the Vikings and Patriots go to the Super Bowl, I’d fully expect that to be the Thursday night, week 1 matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
