Two of Zimmer's best quotes ever, both related to Robinson... Quote Asked about the practice statuses for Robert Blanton and Josh Robinson today at Winter Park, Zimmer responded by saying, "Blanton's going to go today. And the other guy? Who knows?"

vike daddy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 When Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox was hit by teammate Andrew Sendejo on Sept. 26, he knew his legs hurt. The problem was, nothing above his waist did. According to Dave Zangaro of NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com, Maddox described the incident from the game against the Packers, and the moments of fear. He said for 20 seconds, he couldn’t move his upper body, before he regained feeling. Maddox: "OK, I’m not paralyzed. That’s when I started smiling.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/10/31/avonte-maddox-feared-he-was-paralyzed-after-hit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cearbhall Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I am happy to see Marcus Sherels back on an NFL roster: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/11/05/dolphins-cut-robert-nkemdiche/ The Dolphins aren't a great team, but living in Miami for a few months doesn't sound so bad right now. I wish Sherels good luck down there in the warmer weather. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 On Tuesday, the Eagles waived veteran safety Andrew Sendejo. Sendejo appeared in all nine games this season, with one start. He signed in the offseason after eight seasons with the Vikings. His one-year contract paid a $270,000 signing bonus, a workout bonus of $100,00, and a base salary of $970,000. Because the trade deadline has passed, Sendejo will be subject to waivers. If he clears waivers, he’ll be a free agent — and he’ll be entitled to collect the balance of his salary ($456,000) as termination pay. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/11/05/eagles-waive-veteran-safety-andrew-sendejo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 We lose a 7th round compensatory pick, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cearbhall Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 1 hour ago, SteelKing728 said: We lose a 7th round compensatory pick, right? Correct. Though I am unsure what happens if the cut player is claimed on waivers. He is then still playing on the contract he signed. I don't know which team the gain would count towards or if it would still count at all. It seems reasonable to think that it might, but I haven't previously studied such a case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The Vikings are mourning the death of legendary kicker Fred Cox and sending condolences to the family and friends of the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. Cox, a native of Monangahela, Pennsylvania, passed away Wednesday night in Minnesota, three weeks shy of his 81st birthday. Cox’s 15 seasons are tied for the third-longest tenure in franchise history. He never missed a game, playing in 210 regular-season contests, which ranks third behind defensive end Jim Marshall (270) and 2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Mick Tingelhoff (240). The franchise leader in scoring with 1,365 points (more than double Hall of Famer Cris Carter’s 670), Cox led the Vikings in points for 11 consecutive seasons (1963-73). He also played middle linebacker on the scout-team defense and running back for the offense before lining up at center, which was appreciated by Hall of Fame Head Coach Bud Grant, who described Cox as a great kicker and great athlete. “Fred was the ultimate team player for us,” Grant said. “He took part in all of our scout teams, playing running back or whatever we asked of him. He was a great asset to our team, a true credit to the team and his community. If you saw those games, he always stood right next to me on the sideline because he was such a big part of what we were doing with field position and knew the game so well.” https://www.vikings.com/news/vikings-mourn-passing-of-legendary-kicker-nerf-football-inventor-fred-cox?sf224271656=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Fred Cox, Vikings All-Time leading scorer, was a fixture on the team for 14 seasons. Yes, he looked like an accountant in shoulder pads...but, he was an important member of the Viking teams that played in four Super Bowls. RIP.

vike daddy Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) As Cowboys coach Jason Garrett embarks on what could be the final six games of his tenure in Texas, someone connected to Garrett is offering a not-so-subtle warning to Jones & Son, LLC: If you don’t keep Garrett, he may end up coaching one of your biggest rivals. Ian Rapoport of the NFL has floated the idea of Garrett landing with the Giants, if the Cowboys opt not to give him a new contract and if the Giants tear up the remaining years on Pat Shurmur’s deal. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/11/24/report-if-fired-jason-garretts-preferred-destination-is-the-giants/ "floated the idea..."
