Minnesota Vikings Discussion-Back Page: 20 Mar 2023

Vikings coach

Merry Monday, 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!!!!!!

No major Vikings news over the weekend, but that was expected. I still wouldn’t be shocked to hear of a deal involving Dalvin Cook or/and Za’Darius Smith. The team would likely prefer to have more than five draft picks entering the 2023 NFL draft, and there are compelling reasons the team may want to move either player. The only reason Cook may be moved is due to his $14 million cap hit, and since Za’Darius Smith has already made it known that he wants to elsewhere, the team may decide to move him instead of keeping a disgruntled employee.

Danielle Hunter hasn’t made any noise about his contract yet, which surprises me a bit. This could mean that he and the team are negotiating, or this could mean that the team plans to move him and will allow the next team to negotiate a deal. It’s also entirely possible that the team is just going to keep him on his current deal, as is their right.

I don’t see many other moves coming up, but you never know what the team has planned. The Vikings have certainly demonstrated that they are making some long-overdue changes to the team, especially the defense. Kwesi-Adofo Mensah has also shown that he isn’t afraid to deviate from the norm when it comes to the roster and making moves, so this could still be an exciting off-season.

Minnesota Vikings News:

SI.com has the Vikings pegged as a “wild card” for Lamar Jackson. LOL

FanSided lists several reasons why the Vikings SHOULD ditch Cousins for Jackson. Again, LOL.

From Vikings.com, the Vikings agreed to terms to bring back Olisaemeka Udoh, and they also have a 2023 Minnesota Vikings free agency tracker.

The Cowboys have acquired WR Brandon Cooks from the Texans, according to NFL.com.

ESPN looks at why completing the Aaron Rodgers trade won’t be easy for either the Jets or Packers.

Video of the Day:

This came up last week, seems like a great song for a Monday, this is Dennis Leary with A**hole. (CAUTION: NSFW LANGUAGE) Enjoy!

Cam Newton’s heading home to show that he’s still got what it takes to make an NFL roster.

Newton, who hasn’t played since the 2021 season, announced via social media on Monday his plans to throw at his alma mater Auburn’s pro day on Tuesday.

In a short video, Newton added “ain’t 32 motherf—— better than me,” likely alluding to his belief that he’s still good enough to be a starting quarterback on one of the NFL’s 32 squads.

He must have a lot of incriminating photos of all of the owners. And that’s hard to do now since being a sexual pervert is celebrated. He probably has audio of the owners saying something racists or sexist or capitalistic.

Why is Vikings twitter so obsessed with Duke Shelly… he’s lightening in a bottle.

Plus he can only play outside and he sucks in the slot. Booth/Evans (likely Evans) and that new CB we just signed are on the outside.

Duke is a backup at best

Well as Bill Bonner sez our money is worth less and less all the time. $15/hr minimum wage the days of basic universal income soon to follow. Thence comes $40/gallon diesel and the farmers just stop filling their 500 gallon tractors and combines. Then the government truly controls everything. That’s why they push this agenda.

The only zombie show I enjoyed was iZombie. But I only watched the first season, because by the end of the first season just about everyone was a zombie. I hate when shows do that. ie., Supergirl, where at the beginning of season 2, iirc, there were a massive amount of aliens on the planet, not just Supergirl and Superman.

It is a network that is really geared toward teenagers/young adults, therefore much, much teenage angst/drama in their shows. It was started by CBS and Warner, however now CBS and Warner just have a minority ownership.

I continue to have problems with the site that started yesterday. I log in and start reading comments. Then when I try and post a comment I get the invalid nonce message or comments are closed message. I realize I have been logged out, and try and log back in. When I do, it won’t recognize my login credentials. I just close the page and wait a few hours and try again… sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Wonder if this will post, or I’ll already be logged out by now.

I still believe that the Packers FO is trying anything to unload the contract. So, if they are not able to come to terms with NYJ, than Arod will stay in Green Bay and they are hoping he will retire.

Reply to  Mick
20 March 2023 12:52 pm

it reminds me of this transaction…

An absolutely shocking—but brilliant—trade, the Houston Texans off-load QB Brock Osweiler to the Cleveland Browns. In a move rarely if ever seen in the NFL, this trade saves the Texans $16 million in cash and $10 million in cap space, and the Browns are essentially buying an extra second-round pick from Houston. The Browns are reportedly not expected to keep Osweiler but because they came into the offseason with over $100 million in cap space, have the luxury to make such a move. In addition to acquiring Houston’s 2018 second-round pick, the Browns will get their 2017 sixth-round pick while giving away their 2017 fourth-round pick.

Please NYJ save us from our terrible contract. OH and give us a pick for this 40 year old QB who doesn’t really know if he wants to play or not…

Meeanwhile… he threw for less yards and TDs and more INT’s than any hear besides his first as a starter.

I am not a big fan of zombie films. I only own two: Dawn of the Dead (original) and Shaun of the Dead. Although, the Synder Dawn of the Dead remake is okay in its energy.

First, I think zombies are gross. Second, I don’t like how most of the movies end up in the “humans are the real monsters” trope. Best parts of movies are usually the setup as the humans tried to find sanctuary. Then it gets tedious as it all falls apart every time.

That is why I am not a big zombie-movie guy.

I have played many hours of RDR2. I enjoy it. Definitely the definition of an open world game. Myself, I enjoy all the side missions (collect each of x y z birds, get legendary fish, find all rock carvings, etc) and I haven’t progressed past chapter 3 of the story yet. As is pointed out in numerous FAQs you want a good horse, it pays to seek out the white Arabian early in the game and then lead him around for about 45 minutes of real world time to achieve maximum bonding.

did they have good QB play with Sanders? Or an even decent defense? Did they have a decent defense with Johnson and Stafford? I’d say no, and they are committed to it this offseason WHILE having good RBs and good WRs… I think it’s a bit different.

you guys read as well as Lifer today. I said “Lions might actually be a problem if their QB play improves…”

Here’s what my friends on skoloholics see:

Ben sees: Lions are going to be problem because Goff is worse than Kirk and Kirk will definitely not make the vikings a problem thus the Vikings are less of a problem them Lions

Mick sees: Lions are definite contenders and this is not the Lions of old but the Lions of new who are definitely nothing like the Lions of old.

Brad sees: Lions are really good because Goff is the reason they are not the typical Lions. I love Goff he is so good.

Not a particularly good take here. Lions might actually be a problem if their defense continues to improve, which it did as the season went along and is a big part of why they went 8-2 over their last ten games. Goff was a better QB than Kirk last year, they were basically equal statistically outside of the most important metric, which of course is turnovers where Kirk had 21 compared to Goff’s 12. If QB play is a problem for Detroit, its an even bigger problem for the Vikings.

So while I said if they get good QB play they’ll be a problem. You say they have good QB play so…. they’ll be a problem? We are agreeing on the take, so it must be an OK take.

We know what we have in Kurt, I suspect we’ll end roughly the same, though if our defense can play even slightly better we’ll be a problem for any team.

The kurt mention is irrelevant in response to my comment. CRY MORE LIB

Let’s be honest. If there was a way to merge them the Vikings would end up with a short, injury prone, slow, immobile QB who can’t throw the ball.

This is the draft we need. Had to give up a 2025 3rd to get in the windows to pull it off so very likely if KAM is trying to be “competitive” this season he’ll have to deal some draft collateral to make it happen.

Yeah either stay at 23 and pick that interior DL or the way the talent is stacked you wait until 3rd day for the interior DL. I’m leaning now there isnt a DE that is really worth it at 23, Nolan Smith is a bit small, Breece maybe. I’d trade back for the NW kid he’s just as good and hit some other needs with the trade back. Kuncey is worth the pick at 23 he is likely to be a good one.

That’s what I thought, but I control-F’ed the article and couldn’t find any “Scream IV” references.

Originally, I wrote them all as “Scream 2023,” but that was not the proper name for the movie, so it got changed to “Scream VI.” I reckon a “IV” could have gotten put in there somewhere, but I can’t currently find it.

I don’t have final edit on the articles, but I can go back and fix mistakes once published, if needed.
