Minnesota Vikings News & Links: 15 Aug 2022

Vikings

Merry Monday, everyone!

Good game yesterday on some fronts, mediocre and lower elsewhere. I didn’t see any position group without bright spots, and I think Mond made a solid case for the QB2 position. I would have liked to see more from our defense, and our tight ends didn’t flash a lot, but didn’t look horrible, either. I summarize in a post (linked below). The final score of preseason games is mostly meaningless, but the games are good for evaluating talent and deciding camp battles.

Here is 80% of Ingram’s snaps at RG (67). He did well you can see he is not a easy out for DT’s. Maybe DT’s with extensive technique and power on an elite level will give him issues like Donald but he was solid.

We shall see if Ingram is indeed “the answer” to the right guard issue. Hopefully so. The line is relatively young, and could be our starters for 5 years. Bradbury needs to be replaced in my opinion but if four of the linemen are solid, obviously we have a chance to be one of the better offenses in the league. Our skill position players are top shelf. If the line steps up (if) we could be a scoring machine.

The Biden DOJ was ordered by federal court to respond by 5 pm TODAY to Judicial Watch’s demand for records (such as sealed affidavit) on the Trump raid.

Wonder if they did?

They did respond and said they will not provide the affidavit as the materials are to sensitive to expose and it would hamper current and future investigations and witnesses.

OK… kinda figured the DOJ would do that.

In the end I believe the Dem’s are going to try and charge Trump with treason which would make him ineligible to run. Of course the Clintons receiving millions of dollars from Nation States in their foundation and allowing Russia to garner 20% of our uranium production in the very controversial Uranium One deal isn’t treasonous at all. It’s astounding that Hillary helped get the deal approved, despite the fact the FBI had an ongoing investigation into one of the key Russian players who was eventually convicted.

Have to say I kinda agree with this somewhat but I don’t think Mattison is anywhere near the lead blocker for Cook that Ham is so there’s a tough decision to make. Ham’s pretty good catching passes out of the backfield also. Maybe better than Mattison in that regard. I think I keep Ham over Mattison and keep Chandler & Kene.

“Whistleblowers allege that Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault disregarded agency guidelines requiring substantial factual predication to trigger investigations, while declining to move forward with other investigations despite proper predication,” the senator’s office stated. “Thibault and Richard Pilger, director of the election crimes branch within the FBI’s public integrity section, reportedly were instrumental in the opening of an investigation into the Trump campaign and its associates based in substantial part on information from left-aligned organization. Thibault allegedly scrubbed and diluted details of the sources’ political bias from a memo seeking the full investigation, which was ultimately approved by FBI Director Chris Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.”

The Army certainly knows that Ft Hood has serious issues. The investigation reports I have read have many theories. No answers. It’s a huge heavy armor training base. Lots of young soldiers. To me, those young men and women are being mixed together and left to their own devices. The Army has invested in “sensitivity training” but that doesn’t seem to be taking root.

She’s asking Democrats to cross over and vote for her in primary and brought an outside group in over the weekend to knock on doors for her. It won’t matter, she’s down 30 points. She even tried this:

@Peoples_Pundit
Just so everyone gets what’s happening, Cheney’s campaign sent out absentee ballot request forms posing as an official state agency and an estimated 10k DEMs have already voted for her to make it appear she over-performed, thus has support for a 2024 run. She doesn’t. It’s fake.

A long long time ago there was some hockey game involving cards and die…something about picking a team and then selecting your lines, offensive style and defense. I got the Oilers (this was in the dynasty years) and would play max forecheck and dick all for defense. Was hilarious as Gretzky had a “goalie rating” for every roll of two die except like 3 or 12. Paper hockey league the Oilers only lost one game and won many 20-3 or 20-4.

Witnessed the resilience of youth firsthand Tuesday evening. We were going to stay in our RV in a surface lot in the hospital corridor in Billings, went for a walk after supper. About 50 yards from the intersection of N 30th St and 11th Ave N (which ironically is an intersection I crossed approximately 7,000 times commuting to work and always thought if I’m going to die it’ll be at this intersection) hear a honk followed by a really loud bang and see smoke going everywhere. Turns out a F-250 got t-boned trying to cross N 30th, hit on the passenger side by a SUV going south on N 30th. The F-250 got the bad end of the deal, front axle sheared off and the passenger door stove in, although the SUV was going to need some major front end work for the crumpled hood, etc…

I run up while waiting for 911 to answer, is everyone OK? I was completely ignored as young people piled out of both vehicles, airbag smoke pouring out. Bunch of scrapes and bruises but they were more concerned with updating their status on their phones. 911 operator asks me if they need ambulance, I figured none of them would transport but said sure. Ended up with two FD, two ambulance, and three police cars, but in the meantime we continued our walk up to MSU-B and back.

Hardly any streets left in the USA where you can cross on foot without running the risk of having all your organs T-boned.

Too many dumb drivers, drivers texting, drunk, silly, foolish, and desensitized by airbags so that they don’t fear accidents.

It was a pretty loud bang…even though the speed limit is 25 for all the traffic coming down N 30th I bet the average is 35 and at that time of the evening possibly faster yet. I was surprised, to be honest, that no one was significantly hurt.

Everywhere I go these days the state of Minnesota is apparently wealthy enough to put in a roundabout.

Lots of people literally hate those things, but the junior junior state hacks they send out to get comments from local residents always say that there are more accidents with them, but they’re less severe than at a stop light or stop signs.

MT Viking
Reply to  Adrenaline
15 August 2022 2:06 pm

That’s certainly true in Billings, which is festooned with traffic circles, especially on the west end. The stretch where the accident happened is bad because traffic coming from the north is going downhill and has a long straight sight line ahead, both of which factor into excess speeds and driver inattention to crossing traffic.

I don’t even want to respond to the picture below as it makes my eyes bleed. However, I’m sure it is some human rights issue that women should have armpit hair, so we should all be re-programed to believe that it is attractive and if we don’t comply we will be branded as evil people.

My general proclivity is that if something doesn’t hurt someone, then who cares?

However, there always seems to be a reason these days that someone wants change (like hairy armpits in America), and it usually is because of power… in this case the power to tell a person that they can’t have preferences, which has happened with a thousand other things.

Here’s some more analysis from the game. Mond has the physical traits to play QB but as you said, vision is an issue for him. Maybe he can become a viable backup someday with enough time

Is Kellen Mond’s vision concerning?

To me, this is another example of turning it down.

I’d love to see him let it rip more on time and with anticipation.

When I was a teenager I enjoyed pulling (my) wire. As an adult, pushing and pulling wire is a brutal endeavor in 96 degree heat while working in a metal shop solo. It’s especially awesome when you touch the metal purlins right next to the roof panels and get burnt.

No doubt, my baby soft hands get cut to ratchet by that damn wire. Plus I bought some 18/5 wire at the local hardware store and attempted to run it to wire the overhead door controller (up/down/stop). They only had a partial roll so I thought oh I can make it work if I route it amateur style over the angle iron, while my wife said that is too short, why did you even buy it? About the time she came out I was up on the lift dripping with sweat with this wire hooked up Clark Griswold style and she gave me the stern voice like WTF are you doing? So once again the missus was right. Ordered some on Mammazon.

The good news is I don’t have the feeder panel hooked up (the electrician will be out in approximately 2032 with his trencher to run line from the meter to the shop) so there is no risk of electrocuting myself.

I’ve been thinking… (something that I should never do by the way…)

So last year in the draft, HC is pounding the table for bodies for his defense because he knows there is a 100% chance that he doesn’t have the horses to get the job done.

GM replied by giving him:

  • A broken 1st round OL
  • A project QB in the 3rd
  • A project LB in the 3rd
  • A project (at best) RG in 3rd
  • A DE in the 3rd
  • A RB in the 4th
  • A WR in the 5th
  • A TE in the 5th
  • A DT in the 6th

HC now perceives that the GM is hanging him out to dry and becomes extremely bitter. (and probably tells him as much in a kindly and caring way… or maybe not…)

The war then ensues betwixed the two and spirals into the ground from there…

Some of the projects pan out and somewhat support the views of the GM. Some of course do not. But by the time that anything really works out at all, the die was cast and doom awaited both of them.

In hind site… it makes some sense…

22TD’s
13INT’s

Kirks:

it’s on the outside loop….
you don’t have to go in/through minneapolis/st.paul at all.

my personal take, if you can stay “outside the loop”, you should be good.

anything inside the loop (minneapolis, st paul) i stay away from.

I dunno, more and more reports of bands of roving gang-members taking their vacation cruises outside of the loop.

This convo actually reminds me that I find myself doing less and less in the metro area, and going further from it for family activities, like this weekend I took the pregnant lady and munchkin to the sunflower patch thingy in Isanti, it was actually really nice and everyone had a good time.

No, my barber of like 4 years (great dude and barber) passed away like a year ago very suddenly and I’ve been kinda shopping around since then, recently frequented a great clips because I had to get a cut in 24 hours for a work function of my wife’s. I am my kids barber though, well hairdresser of sorts anyway since she’s never had a haircut. I have mastered the art of the pony tail, still very much a work in progress on the braiding though.

KAMALA HARRIS: “Equity as a concept says recognize that everyone has the same capacity, but in order for them to have equal opportunity to reach that capacity, well, we must pay attention to this issue of equity.”

unfortunately, not everyone has the same capacity. and that’s ok.

i’m really good at my sales job, put me in a mechanical engineers role and it will go VERY poorly.

We all have gifts and can handle things differently, instead of demonizing that and trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, perhaps we just accept that not everyone has the same capacity for things, mentally, physically etc….

As long as we foster and facilitate equal opportunity to the greatest extent possible then we should be good. As you said people have different talents, aptitudes, and even desires. Some people like what they do regardless of their “capacity”.

I couldn’t do restaurant work because I can’t stand there for an hour while some dipweed with apparently no brain can’t make up their mind on what to order, like they’re trying to invent rocket surgery or something.

Self explanatory. 5 minutes of a rookie vs 3rd/4th string players and he’s all world. These rubes have been doing this for every year since the team was created. None of these guys are doing shit. cine is a back-up and Jameson will be all rookie team. Our 1st rd pick can’t even beat our a convered cb drafted low

I just want to see competence from the C and RG for once this decade, is that too much to ask for? According to Rick and Zim it was, hopefully between Mensah and O’Connell it is not.
