vike daddy Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Marshall and Tarkenton were my favorite childhood Viking players, really enjoyed both of them. Marshall was in some ways an early version of Jared Allen on the field. strong, as all DE's were at that time, but surprisingly quick, which he used to his advantage. a real student of his craft.

I feel like the wrong way run has played an oversized role in his HOF candidacy. Which is absolutely stupid. He was every bit as important and talented as Alan Page and Carl Eller. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Grant certainly thought so too. and even though he ran the ball back the wrong way and into the wrong endzone (which wasn't a td until he spiked the ball and it went out of bounds) we still won that game, so who cares?

Which is absolutely stupid. He was every bit as important and talented as Alan Page and Carl Eller. I've been thinking this for years. Really, outside of diehard Vikings fans of a certain age, the wrong way run is the only thing people tend to remember about Marshall. However, he was a valued, talented, and consistently productive member of the greatest Viking teams. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

I follow him on instagram and he seemed to be doing very well (although that’s obviously not “real” life). He appears to have a beautiful and loving family.

vike daddy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The Lions hosted veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on a free agent visit Monday, according to the NFL’s transactions wire. In April, a report indicated the Lions had a “strong offer” for Bridgewater on the table. If Bridgewater signs with Detroit, it would mean a reunion with head coach Dan Campbell, who was the Saints’ tight ends coach/assistant head coach in 2018-19 when Bridgewater was in New Orleans. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/teddy-bridgewater-visits-lions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Talk about someone who has put forth a productive career...his career has lasted longer than the guy that was drafted in the first round by the Vikings that year (Trae Waynes). Although you may not know him as well as the other guy took by the Vikings in the 5th round in 2015.
