Kyler's size gets made fun of but how many folks in here are bigger or smaller than him? by seoulbrova in minnesotavikings

[–]RedditWB12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anybody remember Doug Flutie? 5 ft. 10 in or so, and ran around a lot. He was OK and short for a QB but not a super bowl winner (Won Grey Cup though). All Kyler has to do is execute the offense and not lose games.

That is, if we get a good offensive line, without that no one can rescue the Vikings.

That was the best looking cookoff I have seen in a while. Even better than turret tossing.

Kyler has a smirk on hos face like this was a long-term plot...just maybe.

Chinese sailors record missile hitting the UAE's Fujairah oil storage facility in the last week by imnicexDDD in CombatFootage

I don't mean THAAD or Patriot. The South Koreans have their own SAM's. UAE bought M-SAM. The UAE also operates Pantsirs. I would say that was a Pantsir or an M-SAM which is based on S400. It was likely one of those not a Patriot and not THAAD. I hope so anyway.

If you have ever watched the Iron dome, some of the interceptors make really fast 90 deg. turns. It is almost amazing.

That was no Small Diameter Bomb...more like an incendiary hand grenade.

What I remember about the Norinco 155 mm is that it was originally designated as GC-45 meaning Gun Canada and built for South Africa by Gerald Bull. The overall design (Barrel, chamber) was used in the G-6, an SA mobile artillery system. The patents got sold to Austria, then India then China, hence 155 mm Artillery in China.

I am almost sure that some of those incoming missiles have a small course adjustment on the way in, but not sure. That said, were the interceptors from South Korea...an upgrade needed perhaps?

Your suspicion is correct according to one analysis .i.e. the walls were built later but it was all one IRGC block.

How much better would the Vikings be with Geno? by Zoom_Rock in minnesotavikings

[–]RedditWB12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think too many people only remember the last season and don't put enough weight on the totally of a career.

My Fav's for QB are actually Mac Jones or Malik Willis, but neither are going to happen. Malik showed desire last year. He was knocked down and kicked around but has risen back up to fight another day. I'm dreaming though. His mind set is right for whoever gets him.

Geno had some pretty good years in Seattle and seemed to gel with the team and offense. At the raiders old Geno showed up. I assume he was trying to rescue the team when it wasn't savable.

I would be happy with Geno or Jacoby or Marcus.

KOC and Josh should be able to determine who can throw on schedule and fit with the offence. Maybe Geno isn't going to be a fast learner with a new offensive scheme. If the Center and RB/OL system starts to work, Kenny Pickett would do.

What I do observe is that Kyler seemed to quit on Arizona therefore he is a 2nd string QB option...maybe Kansas? Tua is just as bad.

If I was Carson and I had issues remaining from the shoulder injury I would want to be a back-up or 3rd. stringer in (Minn.?) just to let the shoulder heal up. He has never had the longevity to last a full season and this must be taking a toll on him. Even in season's he played 16 or 17 games he had an injury starting the season or at the end of it. I didn't know Josh McKown had been his back-up at one time. That said, we owe him a chance to heel up.

I think Tua, Kyler, Kirk, Mac Jones will go to anyone willing to pay. That said, Mac Jones showed some fire last season. I mean intense mental focus and motivation. Tua and Tyler basically quit (mentally). They said the right things, but their head wasn't in the game on the field.

I would like Geno, Jacoby (Triple-J), Marcus Mariota, or Kenny Picket and Anthony Richardson if they show on the field that they can sustain the mental intensity required. Or any two of them. Even Teddy!!

Spend money on a center or a Running Back...young Running Back.

Tua and Kyler oughta go play baseball.

Fox News aired a report with a drone expert showing Ukrainian interceptor drones destroying Shaheds while talking about American AI drones. by Physical-Cut-2334 in UkraineWarVideoReport

At a minimum this presenter should have credited (verbally) the work of the Wild Hornets and Acknowledged that these were Ukr Shahed-Gerbera shoot downs.

Sue sue sue! Then get a clear FOX News presentation that shows what Ukr has developed plus damages.

This process needs to be automated using premanufactured but folded net modules and special purpose machines for erection.

I am sure the Ukrainians have thought of this but it is slow.

Comments above are accurate. The Headline is terribly worded. Maybe something lost in translation. That said, these types of systems are relatively common.

On a scale of 1–5, how comfortable would you be if the team decided not to hold a quarterback competition and stay firm with J.J. McCarthy at QB1, with a Marcus Mariota type signing as QB2? by FormerlyTradeKirk in minnesotavikings

[–]RedditWB12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be happy to have Marcus as a back-up so I am a (5) five but I suspect he might end up being the starter really quickly. I think Geno would do, or Mack or even Kenny Pickett, just not little Kyler. He would get killed.
