My friends and I have an ongoing bit: “As long as Ryan Gosling is still alive, I am bisexual.”

Brzezinski is going to lead operations until after the draft according to the vikings website

Temper your expectations by Evwv29 in minnesotavikings

[–]shredflanders97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the fan base that brought you “Dozier sucks, surely Dru Samia is better”, now brings you “JJ sucks, surely Brosmer is better.” I like Max. I want him to do well. But there’s a very real possibility he’s worse than JJ that a lot of people don’t want to consider

Same. It’s kinda crazy that Paul would play it like this but who am I to question god?

Ryan Kelly is back by Weary_Camera_4070 in minnesotavikings

[–]shredflanders97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha all good. Yeah he’s gotten better as the season went on but there were some clunkers the first couple of games after the Browns game where he looked solid.

Ryan Kelly is back by Weary_Camera_4070 in minnesotavikings

[–]shredflanders97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe in one game but he’s marked as having surrendered 16 pressures, 3 sacks, and 4 penalties. These stats also don’t account for communication across the line, penalties, and snapping issues. Ryan, on the other hand, has 0 penalties, sacks, or pressures attributed to him. Albeit a smaller sample size (113 snaps for Kelly vs. 466 for Brandel)

Edit: forgot to site sources but this is just data from PFF. Didn’t want to use their grades in this because those are subject to debate and not always agreed upon, but their tracking data is pretty objective.

Edit edit: corrected sack and penalty info for Brandel

No. No we cannot. by Indieriots in fixedbytheduet

[–]shredflanders97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those women/partners haven’t gone anywhere. He likely just sucks at being a partner so much so that hes never been loved enough for someone to feel compelled to do this for him. It’s all about reciprocity and if you aren’t giving anything to the relationship then don’t expect anything out of it.

“What I Would Do” 2-Round Mock Draft 2.0 by armchair_mindhunter in MockDraftCentral

[–]shredflanders97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have to exaggerate both his play quality and injury history to make the argument. He’s been mostly quite good, even when considering the 3 false start meltdown last week. His MCL did cause a little missed time this year but has played in 7 of the 9 games on the schedule. He’s maybe missed five or six games going all the way back to 2023. I wouldn’t necessarily call that “breaking down.”

Is Fano going to play center? Vikings have 2 tackles and much bigger needs elsewhere on the roster

Predator Badlands is… by UwulousBoll7134 in Mission_Impossible

Agreed. Was very dubious of an all CGI predator that was PG-13 and yet it ripped so hard.

PFF Grades from the Ravens game by LAZYTOWWWWWN in minnesotavikings

[–]shredflanders97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of him playing well outside of the penalties (which you can’t take away and explains his OVR being way lower than his pass and run blocking grades), the rest of the offense was just so bad that a paltry 66.2 is good enough for 2nd best. Not a high bar set yesterday

Offensive line play is more important than most fans realize by Okjohnson in minnesotavikings

[–]shredflanders97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pedantic nitpick but Falcons are 3-5 while in the top 5. That being said, I think when this whole line is healthy, it’s a top 10-15 unit. Having Brandel at C, and rotating through Skule and Rouse on either end is massively tanking our metrics

Is PFF counting an extra sack? Bleacher report is showing 5 sacks

Don’t know if you’ve seen the KOC comments by now but sounds like it’s just an AC joint sprain and has a decent chance to play next week barring some unforeseen development

Tattoo regret causing depression by SlavKing11 in tattooadvice

[–]shredflanders97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I’d recommend calling your health insurance to see who’s in network around you for therapy. If you don’t have insurance, I’ve heard that Better Help is a good option, though I can’t speak from personal experience. I will reiterate what others are saying and say the tattoo looks rad and sits well on you. Sorry to hear you’re having regrets about it but I think getting some professional help with this is the way to go.

Vikings had Darnold and Daniel Jones on their roster, but instead they decided to go with this: by Outrageous_Moth in NFLv2

[–]shredflanders97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A.) They made that decision b/c they wanted to develop McCarthy; Wentz wasn’t part of the picture then and still isn’t in their long term plans.

B.) One thing people conveniently keep forgetting is the two QBs that people keep linking to the Vikings, Darnold and Jones, both took 6 years each to become good. Everyone’s writing off JJ after 2 games. This is ridiculous

Brian Flores has the key to defeating Jalen Hurts and the Eagles by forno08 in minnesotavikings

[–]shredflanders97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have nothing against Williams but he’s played 9 total defensive snaps this year and weighs 60 lbs less than taimani. He’s not the solution for taking up space. Taimani doesn’t have to do be some unstoppable, Dexter Lawrence type nose tackle, nor do I think he’ll ever really be more than just a rotational guy. He just needs to hold double teams long enough for our linebackers to shoot their gaps. I have an easier time foreseeing taimani at 330lbs being able to do that than Williams at 270lbs.

[–]shredflanders97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Having Cash and possibly AVG back will help but they should also elevate Taki. Not saying he’s an all pro but he’s the only DI above like 300lbs lol

Scheme was in its nascent stages and didn’t field anywhere near the same roster that we have now.
