Minnesota Vikings News & Links: Weekend Edition-13 & 14 Aug 2022

Skolholics.jpg

Merry……..weekend?, everyone! Join us as we discuss the latest news from the Minnesota Vikings and from around the NFL. On our site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should!

Alright folks, not a lot of big news out of training camp, and we won’t hear much more until the first preseason game on Sunday. The Vikings practiced without pads on Friday, so doubt we’ll hear much from that. The team travels to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders on Sunday, kickoff is at 3:25 and the game will be televised on the NFL Network. We will have a game thread up for you as well, and we can post a new one each quarter, if traffic requires it. Until then, y’all have at it in the comments, and remember, be cool to one another.

Recent News:

If you haven’t read skoldiers’ 53 man roster projection yet, you should.

Here’s a Minnesota Vikings training camp schedule from Vikings.com.

From SI.com, more rumblings about the Vikings looking for a QB2 who is NOT currently on the roster. I’m on board with this.

Video of the Day:

This was my son’s favorite video to watch when he was 2 & 3 years old. “Hey dad, can we watch that crazy man again?”. You bet, bud.

Things to watch from most intriguing to least intriguing:

  2. Safety battle – Bynum vs Cine
  3. RG battle – Davis vs Ingram
  4. Center battle – Terd vs Schlottman
  5. How the overall def looks like in 3-4
  6. How the backup TEs play with Irv out

Here’s some guys that may be of interest and their numbers if you want to make a mental note of who’s who while watching the game.

Booth- 23
TY Chandler- 32 (Ton of him today, very excited to watch him make his case for the 53)
Cine- 6 (should see a lot of action today since he’s 3rd on the depth chart)
Dantzler- 3 (changed numbers I believe as did many)
Jessie Davis- 73 (guard potential maybe center)
Akayleb Evans- 21 (has been having a good camp)
Ed Ingram- 67
Jaylen Twyman- 93
Luiji Vilian- (another guy flashing in camp) OLB

One thing I think might work against him will be the offensive game plan. There isn’t one. The offense and defense will be very vanilla because both schemes are new and KOC will not be intending to show his hand in any way to the Packers. I think the goals are to see if the players know their jobs, and can do their jobs on any given play. Also hope for no injuries.

This game will feature two teams starting the year with a new head coach. KOC has never been a HC and while he talks a good game, experience favors the Raiders I think. The Raiders hired Patriots OC Josh McDaniels. He had a position as the Broncos head coach for almost two seasons over a decade ago. It didn’t end well, as he was fired midseason. However, he’s been through the head coach learning curve and served as the OC on multiple Super Bowl winning teams. I just don’t think KOC is in his league. That is just my personal opinion.

McDaniels is a little turd, flamed out hard with the Broncos and catfished the Colts after accepting the job. He’s a douche of the highest order BUT he does know NFL level offense. I just think he’ll fuck it up there eventually with his assholyness.

KOC is a really smart dude. I’ve grown up, been around the smooth talkers who don’t have the intelligence or cunning to back it up. He’s not that guy, he’s smart, deliberate and knows how to evaluate a situation, execute a plan, review the results and adjust accordingly. I think he’s a good leader of men also, no bullshit its genuine. Better than YOU BETTER OR ELSE like potbelllied Zim.

McVay came from a family of NFL coaches… and he has a photographic memory. I’m not kidding. I saw him in camp a couple seasons ago being interviewed and the reporter asked him about some plays in his past (to test the photographic memory) and he spit out every detail on what was called, what formation they were in, what happened, why it happened and what drove him to make the call. They asked him about 5 or 6 plays and he was crystal clear on every single one of them. McVay came to the table as an extremely unique individual.

A Texas man charged with five counts of child sexual assault died after a jury convicted him and he chugged a bottle of liquid in the courtroom, his lawyer said Friday.

After the first count was read on Thursday afternoon and the Denton County jury returned a guilty verdict, Edward Leclair, 57, started drinking from a plastic water bottle filled with what appeared to be clear liquid, lawyer Mike Howard said.

“I looked over and noticed him drinking,” Howard said. “His hand was shaking. At the time, I thought it was shaking because of the verdict. Then he kept drinking and drinking.”
Assistant District Attorney Jamie Beck said the liquid appeared “cloudy.”

It isn’t clear what was in Leclair’s bottle.

I guess today we’ll finally see what the Mond vs Mannion competition looks like. My perception of this is Mannion is a vet who is comfortable with the playbook and the scheme and Mond is supposedly a great athlete. I’d like to remind people a great athlete does not an NFL QB make. Tom Brady is not a great athlete. Mark Rypien was not a great athlete. RGIII was a great athlete and where is he now? Oh yeah sitting in his house throwing disparaging remarks at Kirk Cousins.

Mond has had some time to learn how to be a QB in the NFL. We’ll see if he’s learned much today. Mannion knows all he needs to know. He’s never shown much on the field though. I doubt we’ll see a great performance from him.

The old adage “can’t make the club in the tub” is rearing its head here to me. Smith obviously has impressed coaches with his athletic ability and maybe more (football acumen?) but damn… two years in a row he’s injured in training camp.

Agree. We know what happened to JFK and Bobby.

Also, the President has 100% authority to declassify any documents he chooses. FBI also violated his constitutional rights when they seized documents protected under Attorney Client privilege and Executive privilege. They can argue IN COURT whether any SPECIFIC documents should be excluded under those privileges, but they can NOT arbitrarily decide that on their own.

Kathy…pretty clear you’re trying to talk yourself in to still supporting a historically abhorrent man. Sure the constitution doesn’t bar a criminal from running for president because……wait for it…….it and the drafters of the document assumed you wouldn’t vote for one.

This is simply about your side winning in the political battlefield even at the cost of our democracy and the rule of law. You all have more excuses for this “grab them by the pussy” con man to the point you lost your moral compass completely. Blaming the left for lying or fake news is just an easy excuse bait he and the long line of grifters behind him to feed off his corruption have dangled in front of you to see if you’ll take the bait.

Unfortunately many have. If you read the below and still believe him housing this information at his residence (dont say Obama did he didnt at his home) and now the names of agents being released to the public is ok, then I feel sorry that you live in a world of deception and delusion.

Federal statute 18 U.S. Code 2071 had long banned the removal, concealment or destruction of presidential records. It says “willfully and unlawfully” removing such records can result in a penalty of up to three years in prison and that the defendant “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”

That was before Biden drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, because the bad politics resulting in high gas prices can only be countered by more bad politics like artificially dropping the price of oil, which is the type of thing that every banana republic kind of politician does.

The President has the ability to declassify any information at any time, including any words he may use in speaking to others and documents he may possess.

Not accurate:
Can a president legally remove declassified information from the White House?
No, according to security experts. There are other laws that protect the country’s most sensitive secrets beyond how it is classified. For example, according to Aftergood, some of the intelligence and documents related to nuclear weapons can’t be declassified by the president. Aftergood said such information is protected by a different law, the Atomic Energy Act.

Another law — called “gathering, transmitting or losing defense information” — states it is illegal to remove documents related to national security from their proper place if it could risk the security of the country, no matter the classification level of the information.

“The classification is just one piece of the picture,” Aftergood said. There are other protections in the law that can make disclosure or unauthorized retention problematic or even criminal.

You’re being led by the nose.

Obama removed tens of millions of documents and has never returned them to the Federal Archives. Likely many of the those records were also classified at one time.

No one is raiding his house or persecuting him… huh?

I would do the short gimme outside and slant throws on 1st and 2nd down and mix in Cook when it feels like the defense is on their heels playing the pass. Change up tempo by doing some no huddle 2 min offense which cousins thrives in and give Cousins the reins to dictate which will keep him confident and not worrying about the pass rush so when he does worry about it turn around and hand the ball to Cook.

If I had to pick I would take 1. Teddy, since we know he could handle winning a few games if when Kirk gets COVID again. And he is the nicest guy ever and very easy to root for.

Second choice, SLOTERGOAT. obviously. The rest are bleh.

They are all blah.

Im not a big fan of the “reunion” stuff Rick did.

Big problem of his.

I agree. Honestly it would be great if Mond just decided to not suck.
Otherwise I see Mannion for another year, Kirk for two more, and then the Wilfs finally admit failure and rebuild.

I couldn’t care less to see Mannion play.

let Mond play the whole game. Rest the main guys… JJ AT Cook O’Neill….

D needs to play a few series though.

My best get would be trade for Grappolo. We’re not getting a high pick next year anyway so secure a solid guy and if shit goes sideways with Kirk this year dump him or if he plays greta “how dare you” then we have a guy we can trade in Grapp in 23 for potentially more.

No place on the defense for him. Linebackers are set and so he would come in and immediately upset the apple cart.

He’d come in and make us a top 10 defense.
