  Case Keenum college stats? Ok, I get it now
Posted by: Montana Tom - 09-25-2017, 12:38 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (10)

To be honest, I never even paid attention to where this undrafted Game-Ball recipient went to college, (Houston) or what conference he played in (Conference USA), just that he seemed to be a competent backup with a bit of NFL experience when we signed him, compared to what else we had healthy on the roster.  I guess I didn't realize that he was #1 in Career Completions in NCAA since 1956 (If I read the stats correctly), #7 in career NCAA Pass Completion percentage (69.4%), NCAA #1 in career passing touchdowns (155), and NCAA #1 in career Passing yardage (19,217).  

I guess I must plead ignorance. He is a bit emblematic of this team of overachieving UDFA's, and low-round draft picks and steals.

  LM and Danielle Hunter...

Surprised Latavius isn't getting more reps - maybe they'll come. Seems McKinnon is the back who's change of pace.

Danielle Hunter - where are you? Am I missing something here?

  New To Group......What I saw Yesterday
Posted by: Marrdro - 09-25-2017, 11:11 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (26)

My name is Marty Soder (aka Sir Marrdro).  Just joined the group this morning.    I love talking football and I even love talking Vikings football even more.  Looks like an exciting group to do both.  

Having said that..........What I saw:

 


Game Plan.


 


I loved what the staff did on both sides of the ball
especially the way they worked on the areas of the Bucs defense that was
weakened by injuries.  A few Bucs fans
are saying we won because they were dinged. 
I'm not buying that drivel.  All
teams are dinged a bit this year.  The
good ones work through those dings and take ADVANTAGE of the dings the other
teams are having.


 


Defense.


 


DB's.   Anyone
still think Sendejo is a dang good Strong Safety?  Sure, he's not a shutdown CB, but he is great
in run support, great in tackling and even better at hitting people.  Smitty's INT should really be credited to our
SS who laid the lumber.


 


Also, I see lots of hacks on Trae this morning, mostly
because the Announcer highlighted how far behind he was on a reception.  The truth was, our DB's were in a C2 zone and
a RB came out into the flat/zone Trae had responsibility for.  His job was to hand off and get back in his
zone.   In the end, he is a Zone CB who
can sometimes do an OK job as a "Man" CB.  Continually hacking on him because he is not
a "Man" CB drives me crazy. 


 


DL (Especially our 1 and 3 Tech DT's).    Warpigs getting some yesterday.  I absolutely loved how the DE's contained
first, then rushed after the Warpigs in the middle collapsed the pocket,
pushing the QB to the DE instead of the DE's trying to chase down the QB.


 


Offense.


 


OL.  I'm still
buying into this group as a good unit that just needs to work on cohesion.  When Cook hit the "A" gap, it was a
complete line shift to the left, with the Right Tackle actually blocking down
on the "A" gap assignments.   That does not happen unless the whole line is
on the same page.  Great job by the bigs
in the trenches on that side of the ball.


 


RB.  I love our
rotation and I love the group that is rotating. 
Dalvin is for real.  Absolutely
love trying to figure out if it’s a run or a pass with him in there.  I know D-coords can't be happy that we are no
longer one-dimensional.


 


WR's.   Take Diggs
away, Adam is open. Take Adam away, Diggs is open, try to take them both away
Jarius scores a TD.......Again, something that has to have D-coords staying
awake at nights.


 


QB.  Again, most
Bucs are saying he had a great game because their D was dinged.  I'm not buying that.  He still had to make the reads and he still
had to make the throws.  One thing I am
surprised (even though I knew), he sure has a cannon for an arm.  And pretty accurate to say the least.


 


In the end, this was a great game to watch. Wasn't on the
edge of my seat the whole game, but sometimes its nice to watch a boring
blowout.


 


As always, SKOL my brothers and sisters.

Masterful offensive gameplan yesterday, tailored around Case Keenum's skill set.

  We gotta talk...Treadwell

ITs a bummer imo. He had quite a bit of 1:1 coverage. Not sure Keenum looked for him much at all. 

One more game till Kombucha Guy can come back...

  3 games...3 sacks allowed

Not bad, not bad at all. I know it's a small sample, but still....early take is the revamped O-line is doing extremely well.

  Lets talk Dalvin...
Posted by: purplefaithful - 09-24-2017, 09:33 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (21)

Another very productive day:

  • 29/97 3.6 ypc, 1 td/ 5 receptions 72 yards
  • 169 total yards of offense

288 yards rushing through 1st 3 games tops any Viking Rookie back...Extrapolate that out to 16 weeks and see what you come up with lol! 

I think if he can stay healthy (knock wood) he's going to make us happy Trader Rick moved-up for him Smile

Love what I'm seeing out of Diggs and Thielen, Dalvin is quickly becoming a critical part of this offense. Crazy for a Rook.
