    Wow, awesome article. Good stuff on offensive adjustments too. I love KOC, but my number one complaint is that he gets too fixated sometimes. Whether it be trying to get too creative in short yardage or pushing the ball downfield no matter what, I'd like to see him just be a little more flexible on his situational approach. It's good to have an identity as a team and a play caller, but sometimes the situation dictates you dink and dunk your way to an easy win. Or you just slam the big guys forward and get a yard rather than have.....*checks notes* Brandon Powell try to push the pile? I think some of their numbers will improve just by virtue of easier competition.

    The Orioles had one of the worst bullpens in baseball. Say they came calling for Jax and have Coby Mayo or Enrique Bradfield on the table......the Twins should listen on those offers. As much as I like Jax, if you can trade a reliever for an every day player you think is going to be good....you do it.

    Horrifically mismanage all things broadcast/public relations.
  4. TheLeviathan
    Lee is my thought too. Is he a viable SS? If so, then the equation is considerably different.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Agreed, but it's important to remember that the guys they are signing are not that old. Tillery is 28, Greenard 27, Gink 29, Murphy was 25, Griffin 29, Oliver 26, Darnold 27. These aren't 34 year olds, you can count on these guys for awhile. Obviously, I agree you can't always dump your picks and you can't blow them on bad players, but this is a team that was in a TERRIBLE spot when this FO took over and they've got them at 7-2 with real cornerstones for the forseeable future. And that's despite a really awful first draft. Having a good coach and good assistants who can scheme and elevate players can cover a lot of roster gaps.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Possibly! But his leg/foot problems already may be making an issue of that. Part of the problem also is....are any of the younger players majoe league shortstops?
  7. TheLeviathan
    I'm on board with shopping him. Not to dump salary necessarily (although his injury problems the last few years could make that contract something of an albatross soon), but to see if we can find a way to reshape our roster. The number one issue this team has is that we literally don't know who should be playing where except for maybe SS, CF, RF, and catcher. Everyone else it's a complete mess.
  8. TheLeviathan
    In all seriousness, does anyone know what these titles mean in terms of decision making? I've lost track of the role of the GM in this organization. Falvey is now acquiring talent and running things like media? I realize it's all part of the selling process, just trying to figure out what to actually expect that people are doing/not doing with all the title jargon. I am sure of one thing: DSP is gone 20 years too late. Can't be anything but excited about that.

    For those that care and don't want to get dragged into one person's inability to have fair conversation: The Vikings have not "pushed all their chips in" with contracts. They have the 5th most cap room in the NFL for 2025 and the only notable FAs they have to sign are Murphy, Bynum, Aaron Jones, and Gilmore. They will have ample room to add to the roster by free agency next year. The Vikings have traded most of their 2-7th picks. Which are, statistically, far less likely to return starting players. If the team's strategy is to continue to make first round picks or trade for established players, the odds are in their favor on that strategy. (They do, however, have to hit on those picks they trade for which is TBD at this point 9 games in) I believe the team quite smartly determined that they could supplement their roster next year with the money freed up from moving on from Cousins and others and utilized their picks to make splashier selections in what they view as a better draft. That really depends on JJ and Turner panning out and netting a good offseason of FAs next year. So, TBD on that strategy - I like the thinking though. Right now the results are hard to argue with. No matter what struggles they are going through, the team is vastly overperforming expectations. One would think that if a team vastly overperforms that those in charge of leading it would get some credit and not constant derision......

    Ugly win. Hideous QB play has to get fixed.
  11. TheLeviathan
    Line giving him all day, moving up and down the field with ease, and he keeps handing the ball to the Jags. This is awful QBing.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Sam Darnold has been reaaly bad again. The red zone turnovers are simply awful.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Yeah, this smells like a trap game. It should be an easy win and better be.
  14. TheLeviathan
    Purple Monkey Dishwasher!
  15. TheLeviathan
    John Parker Romo. Woof.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Lattimore is so good though...I feel like that was a bargain personally. I'd give that up all day for a shutdown corner.
  17. TheLeviathan
    1 dog (Bowser) and two cats (Nebula and Zelda).
  18. TheLeviathan
    To piggyback a bit on what @gunnarthormentioned - they made some front adjustments I really liked: Greenard seemed to exclusively rush from the right and you can tell he's more comfortable there. Dude was a menace. They moved Gink into the middle on clear passing downs and dropped him into coverage more often and blitzed Pace more. That's taking away a good rusher, but I think the coverage over the middle was way better that way. It freed up Turner to come off the edge on the left and he looked better for it too.
  19. TheLeviathan
    I do think he played a good game, but that single play should've been devastating to his grade. It single-handedly swung the game at that point. It was comically bad how easily he got rag dolled.
  20. TheLeviathan
    The team has a ton of cap room next year so I'm fine giving up picks for the right player. I'm game for Calais Campbell in all aspects though. I think he's perfect - 5 technique who is a beast at collapsing pockets.
  21. TheLeviathan
    I would like the NFL to not flag hits like that, but clearly they have been for less than the blow Darnold took. I think what bothers me more is the inconsistency on when the league can intervene. Take a note from the NHl and just get involved in all scoring and turnover plays across the board.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Darnold's really bad plays, plus Bradbury getting p'owned, cost us a beatdown of a game. I liked the offense's rhythm and variability. Robinson played well. Pass rush was back.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I think we have enough to conclude that JJ shouldn't sweating his QB spot
  24. TheLeviathan
    That one was almost as bad as the Darnold one!
  25. TheLeviathan
    Should've been a hold on that 3rd down. Jones came through free but got yanked just enough to keep him off Flacco.
