He's just going to be one of those guys that made a lot of money and have nothing to show for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted Thursday at 05:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:13 PM Adam Thielen: “I don’t think it's just a Bryce thing. I think that’s all of us. First game back — games are just different. You can do all the preseason, you can do all the OTAs, training camp — all that is great and all that gives you an idea of what a game looks like. But games are just different. So, it was great to get out there, feel that game-like energy, and passion, crowd noise, everything — just to kind of get that one behind us." “Obviously, not the result we wanted, but good to get that out, and now we can just go play football and be who we want to be, who we are, and show individuality who we can be. That’s not just a Bryce thing — that’s all of us. Those are kind of first-game nerves, first game whatever — a little rust, whatever. We all individually have to kind of figure out a way to get better this week and put that one behind us." "It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to just score 30 points in the first half. It means that you’ve got to go get some first downs. You’ve got to make a couple of big plays. You’ve got to do some of the little things right that just give you some confidence, momentum, give the offense some short third-down opportunities — that you just start to build this confidence, demeanor, and momentum that can go toward you.” Young finished Week 1 13-of-30 for 161 yards with a pair of interceptions. Thielen led the team with 49 yards on three catches. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/adam-thielen-we-all-have-to-get-better-this-week-and-put-that-one-behind-us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted Thursday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:19 PM You can't blame Thielen for trying...although, he probably shouldn't have done so. First game nerves at the NFL level don't lead to 37-pt blowouts...incompetent game-planning along with execution do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
