Yeah, definitely not a trap game, the Rams were where O'Connell cut his teeth. No way he was overlooking them.
-
Have they blitzed that much lately? The last three games were the first three against veteran QBs. I’m wondering if the shock and awe approach is reserved for the kids. Either way, what’s happening now isn’t as effective. But I can’t figure Josh Mettelus. Last year he was one of the few guys that could do the blitz-or-cover switcheroo. He was making plays at the line of scrimmage and backfield every game. Now he’s just used as a coverage nickleback.

It's such an easy call, every GD one of them should be radioed in from New York. And I hope the radio call goes something like, "Hey Stevie Wonder, that was a facemask, throw the flag."

So Darrisaw's injury is reportedly a knew injury? Based on the video, the defensive player landed fairly low on the side of his shin and I figured he broke his tibia or fibula. I didn't see the twisting kind of action you normally see with torn ligaments. This could be the (too many) IPAs talking (don't judge, I took tomorrow off work!), but maybe the MCL just got stretched and it turns out to be just a strain.

Yup, here we go. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-must-make-face-mask-fouls-reviewable It'll be reviewable next year, at which point the Vikings are going to end up on the wrong end of it.

Sorry, only happening if it happens against the Cowboys or Aaron Rodgers.

To be fair, in the first five games Jones had six tackles for loss and seven QB hits including five sacks, all while playing less than 50% of the snaps. He WAS doing exactly what they wanted from him. I'm not surprised it was going to take more than two games for them to give Turner his reps. And, while I'd switch to Turner now, I wouldn't be surprised if they give Jones more rope. He was one of the things that was working early. Really, I think missing Cashman is a bigger deal than we thought. I don't know how to look for the stats, but the best part about Greenard, Van Ginkel and Jones was that they could drop back into coverage OR blitz. Clearly, Pace has no business being on the field in coverage situations and I'd guess those guys are picking up some of the slack.

That was photoshopped. This was the real video:
-
Funny because I went to LA three years ago to watch the Vikings play the Chargers and the Lakers ALSO played the Wolves. At least MN split that one, with the Vikings winning. LeBron didn't even play against the Wolves, but we were already four breweries in so we didn't much care.
-
True, but that's probably because facemasks like that are obvious and no one expects them to miss it.
-
Yeah, but it was without their only two usable receivers, who both unexpectedly came back today. I'm not sure the Rams score three times today if Nacua had been out. The game sucked, I think a lot of us felt this coming, but the Vikings are still better than this. I'm sure I'll cool off by tomorrow.
-
And it is reviewable, just not on the field. The officials do that fake huddle bit while New York tells them to throw a flag for intentional grounding and even PI from time to time.
-
It will be next year because of this. And then the Vikings will promptly get screwed by it.
-
The defender even ACTED like he knew he was going to get flagged, lol.
-
Wow, that’s a lack of awareness.
-
I want to see Turner too, but hard to pull Van Ginkle and Greenard to give him more reps.
-
He’s 10x better than Pace. Also, I’m thinking they got caught with their pants down with Nacua playing. As crappy as the Vikings have played, they’re probably up now if he’s out.
-
Clutch coverage there.
-
Hopefully O’Connell learned his clock management from McVay.
-
I’m putting that one on Frankenberry. And dibs on that nickname.
-
My gut would not be wrenched. Pretty sure optimism left this thread after the first defensive series..
-
These mobile QBs are hard to bring down.
-
Amazon.
-
Jefferson has his arm lightly grabbed like that on every play.
-
That was PI? Wow.
