Minnesota Vikings News & Discussion: 26 Jul 2022

Vikings blog logo

Merry Tuesday, everyone!

Ah, the dreaded Tuesday, arguably the worst day of the work week. We can take solace in the fact that training camp is nearly underway. It will sure be nice to have some actual football things to discuss rather than ANOTHER argument about whether Kirk Cousins can lead a team to the Super Bowl. I think we may have worn that topic out.

Not much to talk about today, but I found a story or two to share. Y’all have at it in the comments, and remember, be cool to one another.

Recent News:

From Vikings.com, Dalvin Cook provides inspiration at his 2-day youth football camp. It’s good to see the kid giving back, he overcame a lot of adversity to get to where he is, now he’s helping other kids overcome the obstacles in their paths.

Video of the Day:

Here’s a compilation of some of the best moments of one of the funniest comedians to ever live, the late, great Norm MacDonald. Enjoy!

The 2013 Denver Broncos own the record for the most points scored in a season with 606. Let’s put that mark on the wall and tell the OC to go beat that.

98 Vikings are still number 5 on the all-time scoring list at 34.8 per game.

Only one other Viking team is on the top 100, 62, 2009 at 29.4

Need a bunch of defensive touch downs to get that many. 3 pick sixes a game. Remember getting beat by the cowpies and Lions last season. That’s our offense but a year older.

I still maintain the question marks on the Vikings team are KAM (not thrilled or impressed with his draft strategy this year at all) KOC (talks a good game but he strikes me as all icing and no cake) the new defensive scheme and DC (could be really great eventually, but we don’t have time for eventually) and of course like every year, the O-line.

If I was KOC I would be screaming at the players that we are the big dogs now and we’re gonna kick everybody’s ass starting with the Packers in game one and announce to them and the rest of the league that there’s a new sheriff in town. We need to make a statement that the NFC North has a new champ and not just for this year but every year moving forward. He needs to tell the offense we are going to score 5 TD’s or more in every game. He needs to tell the defense that we’re going to destroy the opposing offense, kick the shit out of their QB, knock the hell out of their running back, and force interceptions and fumbles all day long.

That said I don’t see KOC being that guy… he’s a nice, positive, supportive coach. Not a guy who will push players to their limits and make them better.

Jury finds former Canucks forward Jake Virtanen not guilty of sexual assault
This young man was found not guilty of sexual assault. When he was charged in May 2021, the Canucks cut him and he was 24 with no job. The lying POS girl said this happened in 2017 BTW. 12 person jury, huge inconsistencies in her testimony (looking at you evil blasey ford liar), zero evidence. She traveled to meet him and they knew each other. This is how batshit crazy feminism has taken us. Now, if you want to see pure evil go look at FB posts and see what so many of the women are saying? Willing to ruin this guy’s life at 25 years old over an allegation found not true by a 12 person jury. Be careful boys, this happens daily. See: miserable cretin amber heard

The problem is that while “some people” hate KC with a purple passion, they have never offered a reasonable alternative that could be had as a FA or a reasonable trade.

This is how treasonous and stupid our so-called leaders are.

Chinese government -linked company bought a huge plot of land just miles from a crucial military drone base in North Dakota .
Fufeng Group, a massive agricultural company with strong ties to Beijing , purchased 370 acres as a location for its new wet corn mill in the agribusiness park in Grand Forks, a short distance from Grand Forks Air Force Base .
The Grand Forks base is one of the key locations for the RQ-4 Global Hawk drone , a “remotely piloted aircraft with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities” used by the United States around the world; the drone “relies on the maintenance provided by Airmen in the 319th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron” at Grand Forks. Last year, a $64 million Global Hawk drone crashed 7 miles from the base.

It all depends on the balls of the donkey and ones definition of sucks. Licking is not sucking. Coaxing the contents out would not be considered sucking on the actual balls by most reviewers either. He could easily fit baby donkey balls in his mouth, so it is entirely possible.

Kirk never gets hurt, the legit concerns are about Z. Smith and D.

Remember last year when post victory Cousins shoved Zimmer and said “You like that” and Zim got a little hot? Well seems Zim likely was pissed and Kirky got a free shot at the ole sob.

“Back to like the middle of the season. Home game and it’s a victory. Yeah, Zim snapped when Cousins pushed him. And looking back at it, former head coach got that side-eye and rage steaming from his nostrils! And he wanted to go. But then, he didn’t want to go. Kirk sensed a free shot during the working relationship and he got one in.” – Paul Allen (KFAN Radio)

Well…look here, another set of stats that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt Cousins is:

A. Worth his contract.
B. Top10 QB in the league.
C. Capable and if properly supported and coached can easily win big games.

Last year, Kirk Cousins was the ONLY QUARTERBACK ON THE PLANET that had a 100+ passer rating in the following critical situations:

– on the road (106.3)
– in the red zone (105.4)
– on 3rd down (104.5)
– on 3rd & 10+ (127.1)
– on 4th down (116.3)
– in the 4th Qtr (103.2)

While Kirk inspires zero confidence that he can get the job done, I will agree that he was not the main issue last year.
Defense was terrible.
I also liked that he took a bit more team friendly deal. I just hated that the no trade clause came back.

It would be great if he proves me wrong and they win it all. While I can get hopped up on hopium this time of year, I am expecting more of the same. Just good enough to not completely suck.

26 July 2022 8:57 am

A gobert like trade I’d be fine with. When all is said and done with that trade the Twolves will have sent like 4 bench players and in all likelihood 4 late first round picks with at best one potential lottery pick seven years down the line. Its a high quantity low quality trade. The difference is in the NFL you don’t likely make that move for anyone other than QB. Gobert is the best defensive player in the NBA, its a different sport where defense is a rarity, but the best comp would be what, Aaron Donald? Would you send 4 decent young backup/borderline starter vets along with like 2nd/3rd round picks with one seven years from now maybe being a 1st for Donald? NFL is different and I don’t know enough about the NBA to make a perfect comparison but from what I see I would do that for Donald.
