Minnesota Vikings Discussion – SkolAsylum: 19 Apr 2023

Happy hump day, everyone, and welcome to Skoloholics! Join us for Minnesota Vikings talk, Vikings news, news from around the NFL, and virtually any other topic. On this site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should join us! This is the daily back page, which is wide open. Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. Also, a word to the wise, don’t feed the trolls. SKOL!!!!!!

Alright, I’m back to being able to type again. I’m not at 100%. Hell, I’m not at 50%, but it’s an improvement over the 10% I was at a week ago.

During my hiatus, I did manage to do accomplish a few things. One of those accomplishments was watching Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey. It was worth watching, in my opinion, but I love horror movies.

The fam and I also went to Super Mario Brothers last night, and it was a REALLY good movie. If you have kids and want to take them to a movie, this one is a good one to take them to.

I smoked a pork butt on Monday, and it turned out perfect! It was an 8+ pound slab, I smoked it at around 275 degrees for 6 hours, then wrapped it and smoked it about 3 more hours until the internal temp hit 205. Yum yum.

Minnesota Vikings News:

From TwinCities.com, after 47 years as the Vikings’ equipment manager, Dennis Ryan has seen it all. Ryan is retiring after nearly 5 decades with the team.

SI.com ponders whether the Vikings can survive a blockbuster trade to move up for a QB.

At Vikings.com, Harrison Smith said it ‘just felt right’ to stay in Minnesota, and Lewis Cine is ‘doing great’ in the recovery process. If Cine can come back and become a quality starter, it would be a huge boost to the secondary.

Video of the Day:

Eli and I recently discovered this crazy cartoon, this is……..something. Enjoy!

He was in jail and based on “The Law” got out. The “Law” is not the issue here nor is the crazy MF’ers issues. It’s access to guns period. We have too many unstable people with easy access to guns. We need to make getting access to guns harder than buying a loaf of bread at the grocery store.

Since Ryan Wright (P) has already faked a punt and thrown the ball a couple times, I wonder if KOC has some fake field goal play in his repertoire? I mean Wright WAS a High School QB at one time, right?

Looking at the defense as it stands now, I don’t like the inside linebackers scare anyone. Hicks and Asamoah aren’t exactly what one would call “fierce”.

Guy’s who can cover space and make plays but physicality’s they do not intimidate. I’m all for a LB with pick 87. Who do you like? Campbell is probably the safest pick a true physical player, Sanders best pass rusher, then theres Trenton Simpson from Clemson a great athlete. Lot of options and one will be there likely.

I think those are too small to set off the metal detector.

Speaking of which, I was in the pre-check line and got “randomly selected” for at least the fourth time for additional screening, which included going through that whole body x-ray scanner. No kidding, every time that thing alerts on my crotch and they have to do a gentle pat of “the area”. I’ve offered to slip off my pants to no avail each and every time.

19 April 2023 4:52 pm

Maybe on the surface, but I’m not so sure if you look deeper. KOC runs McVay’s offense that requires the QB to win from the pocket. Everything you read from the 49ers over the last year is that Lance can’t hit a barn half the time. On the other hand, the 49ers throw all those hitches bubble screens and quick slants. Cousins can certainly do that, but do they need his arm.
But ha, who knows.

KFEY93
Reply to  JRobert
19 April 2023 4:57 pm

You are mistaken thinking this trade would have Lance as our long term starter. Its not. We would try him out for the remainder of his rookie contract, while also drafting a QB. If Lance blossoms, great, we got him. If not, ship him and we got a good rookie ready to go. Us getting Lance is just a stop gap. The real win is getting rid of Kirk and his $$ burden. Which yes, is not as big as it once once, but is a big burden none the less

That may work. But the key then is drafting a QB that can zing it well. And from reading here, and at a lot of places, running this offense is a little more complicated than balancing a checkbook as many seem to think.
But again, it might work

And if I might add, we had 7th best offense in NFL and I don’t think it very far fetched that we could get to five or so with another year in KCO.s offense. Before I’d tamper with this offense to much, I’d look elsewhere for team improvement. .

KFEY93
Reply to  JRobert
19 April 2023 9:54 pm

7th based on what Metric? The offense didnt show up for 2 quarters almost every game. Its subjective. Eye test said we were top half, maybe top 10. Couldnt run the ball for shit. Offense isnt a problem, but it needs to be improved to be an elite team. Top 5 while being top 10 in passing and running would be a good goal.

That’s just not true. (Offense didn’t show up for 2 qtrs).

Here you are one day saying offense didn’t show up for a qtr, now you’re embellishing and saying 2 qtrs. What’s next 3 qtrs, 4 qtrs, didn’t dress, didn’t travel with the team, went on vacation to play golf. Just stop it. You’re an unbalanced hater.

Good grief. even if I give you the two quarter stuff, our defense doesn’t show up for four quarters. How about get some defenders? And as you sort of suggest a smash mouth running back(they aren’t expensive) so we can covert more third and shorts. Yet, all y0u want to talk about is get rid of the QB. Seems to be a rather huge bias in most of you takes.

I liked Rooters and the Windbreak. Labby’s was good for pre, halftime, and post game Bison football games live. Chub’s over in Moorhead was solid.

I feel I can do this as he plays for the MLB team I root for by watching maybe six innings a year.

It kinda sorta annoys me how people in coach use the first class restroom…I get it when the beverage cart blocks the way so someone needs to go to the forward lav but last time I flew there was a line so I stood up to wait my turn and the flight attendant suggested I go to the back as “the line is shorter”.

This is such a strawman argument based on literally NOTHING but assumption. JJ does not care if Kirk is here or not. He wants targets and he wants Ws and wants to make play off runs. He’s not getting one of those things with Kirk. And we cant pay both Kwerk AND him. Im sick of seeing this baseless assumption. Remove it from your mind.

Well, it was a little tongue in cheek. Was reacting to kirk/lance trade and didn’t know about Hooker being a good thrower.
And if the following is a Strawman you don’t like, I’ll apologizw up front. Do you watch the 49ers play? I could throw to debo and Kittle – one,two yard hitches that rack up big yards. Now, JJ- he racks up yards differently, by running excellent routes into many times double coverage. Like it or not, it takes more arm talent for this type of passing. If we have someone else to fling it that can do this – great. If not, JJ is not going to be as productive. He’ll no doubt get paid ether way. Now, I’m not as clairbouant (can’t spell either) as you, but sort of feel JJ is a big time competitor and wants to be as productive as hell. Again, I can’t read peoples’ minds as well as you.
And if you will, can I leave what’s in my mind up to me!

I posted an ESPN article blurb. It then disappeared. Where’d it go? Need approval?

manly-purple
19 April 2023 10:27 am

ESPN article today:

Vikings get: QB Trey Lance, 3-102, 6-216 (from SF), 2-63 (from PHI)

49ers get: 1-21, QB Nick Mullens (from MIN)

Eagles get: 3-99, 3-101 (from SF), 2025 fourth-round pick (from MIN)

Here’s how the Vikings get their quarterback of the future and the 49ers get back into the first day of the draft. It feels like this three-way trade should somehow involve Kirk Cousins ending up with the 49ers, but cap constraints on both sides make that impossible. If this were the NBA or NHL, we would include a fourth team to take on some of the money due to Cousins’ contract, but the NFL would likely frown upon that sort of deal.

As it is, we have two trades. First, the 49ers would send their third-year quarterback and pick Nos. 99, 101 and 102 to the Vikings to move all the way up to No. 21. Those are also San Francisco’s top three selections as a result of the trades for Lance and Christian McCaffrey. This deal values Lance as being worth the 39th pick in a typical draft, which is probably fair given what little we know about him after his first two seasons. Nothing about how the Niners have handled his situation suggests they still value him like the player they gave up three first-round picks to acquire. They would also include a late sixth-round selection to reunite with Mullens, who would be displaced as the Minnesota backup.

Then, to avoid going without first- and second-round picks themselves, the Vikings would package pick Nos. 99 and 101 alongside a future fourth-rounder in a deal with the Eagles to move up to the bottom of Round 2. Minnesota would end up with no first-round pick and selections toward the bottom of the second and third rounds, but it would also land Lance, a long-term replacement for Cousins.

The 49ers would give up on Lance, but they would move forward for now with Mullens, Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold as their options under center before considering a reunion between Cousins and Kyle Shanahan in free agency next year. Moving up to No. 21 would allow them to draft a replacement for right tackle Mike McGlinchey, who left in free agency. Broderick Jones (Georgia) or Darnell Wright (Tennessee) could be available there.

This is a bit crazy on a couple of different levels. Kirk’s strength is throwing an accurate ball from the pocket. Shanahan would like that, but it’s not necessary to run their offense. We run the KOC(Mcvay) offense that requires the QB to win with accurate throws from the pocket. Lance ain’t that.

So honestly, I was not at all impressed with KAM’s wizardry in his first draft. It seemed to me he was trying too hard to be “crazy like a fox” and show how he could move up and down the board trading draft spots. I thought he got worked by the other teams who benefitted from his inexperience and nature though. He thought he was the fox. He wasn’t anything near that IMO.

Kevin Seifert wrote a “here we go again” piece about the Vikings and their unrelenting need (every year) for Cornerbacks. That assessment has been true for most of the past decade, despite a commitment of draft capital unmatched in the league. They have used a first-round pick to draft a cornerback four times in the past 10 years, the most in that span league-wide. The Vikings have also used two second-round picks on the position, and their total of six such selections in the first two rounds is also a league high.

Yet here we are again. With a looming scheme change and a series of disappointing draft outcomes the Vikings return (remain?) to a familiar position.

Is there a correlation between the terrible play of the cbs and the lack of pressures by the defense?

The Vikings pass rush only graded above 70 4x last year… NYG 2x GB and MIA going 3-1.

They also graded below 60 4x CHI, DET, GB, and NE going 2-2.

IN games last season the coverage grade was below 62? Vikings went 4-4. 2 of those games were when the pass rush graded above 70

Mick, good analysis there, but I think the point is, the CB’s we drafted very high over the years never panned out. They were under achievers who aren’t with the team anymore, vice being stars.

Defensive schemes that play soft coverage to protect against the “big play” tend to make the CB’s rate lower. They allow more catches for more yards. Our defensive scheme has contributed to that IMO.

I’m all for a D-line that wreaks havoc on the opposing QB.

Fox “Lying” News paid $787 million in damages to Dominion for lying to their viewers and helping foster Jan 6th and the near destruction of our democracy. They were not forced to apologize in full because they couldn’t bring themselves to tell the truth even after being exposed as the liars they are in court. Now tell me how bad CNN and MSNBC are and how many billion dollar claims for lying they’ve had to pay. Fools. Fox News still has another case they’re facing for a billion. You’re on the wrong side of history and the truth if you still support these traitors and we’re all laughing at you.

lol…cherry picking individual cases of defamation how weak. I provided an overarching example of a news organization being sued by a company responsible for our voting and democratic process. You provide loser individuals with defamation cases. Apples …Oranges.

Scale my boy….catch it. I never said CNN or MSNBC have never been sued and FOX was held liable for lies on a massive scale nearly a billion dollar in damages, the individuals you provided were cases of simple defamation not lies. They got nothing. This is about a major new organization broad systemic lies damaging our democracy not bullshit cases about a dumb kid murdering people in the street.

its better to have major media corps lie and defame an individual than it is a company.

They didn’t drag him to the street with the gun he did that to himself. They reported on it and he got nothing from them in by claiming defamation. So what the fuck is your point??

Has CNN or MSNBC apologized for rigging the last election by claiming Hunters laptop was a hoax?

Talk about destroying democracy.

Sometimes I can’t tell if you actually believe the BS you spew or if you’re just a troll. But knowing this is how around 50% of the country thinks, I think you legitimately have your head in the sand and are dug into your position of vote blue and dems can do no wrong. I feel pity for you.

Haha yeah, maybe. It’s hard not to say something when they spew so much hate, division, and utter stupidity. Perhaps I’ll continue to try to ignore it.

Back to a reasonable life this week. I’m down to working my one job, rather than that job and doing tax returns. So, back to normal.

Congrats…we got our return in under the wire last night. Even after having extra taken out we still had to pay $3.5k because we made an extra 60k last year. Balloon factory business is booming.

Shouldn’t it be “get to pay”? You should be happy to help the cause and pay your fair share. Actually, you should probably voluntarily pay more to help spread the wealth.

Thanks.
Given your views, I know you didn’t pay anywhere near enough in taxes.
You need to be taxed more.

He should be asking to pay more and saying things like “I only got to pay xxx” not I have to pay.

Correct.
Hypocrisy 101

”stop cow farts for the climate” then brags about eating a porterhouse.

”stop using gas & oil for the climate” yet continues to drive and heat and cool his house.

etc….

Oh excuse me….I didn’t realize those of us with a conscious and educated understanding of the effects of mankind on the environment and that aren’t so insecure we’ll believe any counter argument bullshit that’s so fucking stupid just to feel better about ourselves aren’t allow to responsible eat meat, drive cars and heat our home. Guess we should be made to watch Fox News as well.
