They cut the pick from this clip, but whatevs, here's a 2025 preview...

How do we figure out a way to draft this hunk of meat on legs.  This is the guy we need to anchor our DL.  This allows Harrison Phillips to play outside instead of nose.  He's not a great pass rusher, so we likely swap him out on known passes which lets our bevy of OLBs play more snaps. 

I think I'm getting a man crush.

The GOP and 2 democrats advanced a bill that requires you to compete in the gendered sport you were born in.  As a HS XC coach.  Thank God, even if the price of eggs doesn't go down next week (insert laugh) this is a good move.

5 on Darnold
4 on OLine

The loss in the playoff's is fresh (for me)...Probably too early for some, but I'm starting to remind myself that I figured this was a 6/7/8 win team tops going into the year. 

As a season tix holder, I was thoroughly entertained. 

And that home schedule in 25? Wow!!

They didnt get to where any of us ultimately want to see them get to, but the journey was a good ride for most of 24.

Watch this and ask yourself, What do you want to Darnold to do differently and when?  Which receiver do you want Darnold to throw it to?

Vikings/Rams up first

They have requested an interview with Grant Udinski. This is one of the coaches I was hoping stays under the radar.
We can’t lose him now.
