VikeManDan Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Before my time but is Studwell the GOAT of Viking LB's? Matt Blair? As good as Greenway and Kendricks were I can't imagine they'd pass those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Greenway and Kendricks were I can't imagine they'd pass those guys. I caught the tail-end of his career and yes, he was the best LB in their history. He was overshadowed by Singletary in Chicago (which is probably the reason he was only in 2 Pro Bowls), but he was almost as good as him. I saw this note, which is rather interesting...he's the only Vikings player to play with both Jim Marshall and John Randle. 🤣 Edited April 22 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) I was about ready to jump up and down if the pick was Derek Carr back then. But,I ended up really liking Teddy. I just wish he had stayed healthy. Edited April 23 by SteelKing728 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his getting world class care, I don't think he was ever the same. What are his plans in retirement? He's such a good leader and locker room guy. Any chance he goes into coaching?

He already is. He's the HC of his high school football team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep as already stated he's a coach. I'm curious to see if he'll jump to the NFL at some point as a QB coach. He also has two young kids. My guess is that he's still with his longtime girlfriend, now wife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 It's pretty funny even the Texan's social media team acknowledges the Hou/Min connection this off-season given how many moves were made between clubs. But, if Keenum is throwing the ball to Diggs instead of Stroud, they are probably in serious trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Linebacker Eric Kendricks was the first outside free agent the Cowboys signed. He remains one of the only outside free agents the team has signed. Kendricks almost didn’t follow Mike Zimmer to Dallas, as he had agreed to terms with the 49ers before changing his mind. Kendricks: “I think I would’ve taken more of a reserve role in San Francisco, where as I feel I have a lot left to give and I wanted to be here and be middle linebacker. I wanted to share my experience with the team, share my leadership abilities and command that huddle.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/eric-kendricks-explains-why-he-picked-cowboys-over-49ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 What NFL team during the 1970s do you feel was the best at utilizing and succeeding at the screen pass? It was a play where all 11 men on offense had specific roles, and it was a play that could only succeed if all of those 11 players performed their roles to the utmost of their abilities. First, your offensive line had to have excellent timing when breaking away from the line of scrimmage and then setting up their blocks. They had to be great at selling the play in order to fool the opposing defense. You also had to have a quality quarterback who could loft the ball on target. Finally, you had to possess a setback who owned a pair of great hands to catch the pass, and who could weave his way through the mass of defenders who were quickly converging on him. Indeed, everyone on offense was needed to make the screen pass successful. But what team from 1970 to 1979 was the most successful at it? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Minnesota Vikings -- with Fran Tarkenton at quarterback and Chuck Foreman at running back, and their sturdy yet quick offensive line -- were the NFL's best at pulling off the screen pass.
