All I can say is hope and pray for the best for all of us down here near the coast of Texas. What we do know is that the flooding will be catastrophic. Let's hope that the weather forecasters are wrong on their predictions, as they are quite often.
Either way, we look like we are in for about a week of absolutely the worst possible weather we have seen around here in a long long time. Chances are I may not be able to inform you all on what conditions here are looking like.
Take care everyone. And for those of you who are down here with me, I just say please prepare and get out if you can. Hopefully all we will have to put up with where we are is rain and flooding. The flooding  but around here that is MAJOR problems. I'll keep you all informed when possible.

Behind Jaleel Johnson’s dominant effort in the second half of last week’s preseason game in Seattle was a simple sidestep to a different position.
A couple weeks ago, the Vikings moved Johnson, the rookie fourth-round pick out of Iowa, back from nose tackle to the under tackle position, also called the three-technique defensive tackle. That’s where the Vikings need the most help next to nose tackle Linval Joseph. It’s also where coaches and teammates saw Johnson thrive against the Seahawks, and the position where he racked up 7.5 sacks as a senior for the Hawkeyes last fall.
“I feel like he can be a little more free at [under tackle] than at nose,” Joseph said of Johnson’s move. “At nose, you make one mistake you really mess up the whole defense. That’s pressure on him right there.”
Against the Seahawks, Johnson bashed through Seattle’s line for five run stops in 29 snaps, a flash of production the Vikings shouldn’t ignore as they’re again expected to be without injured first-round pick Sharrif Floyd at defensive tackle.
However, Johnson is only getting started...

me:

multiple targets to treadwell

alot of snaps for our backup D ends and 3 techs

a KR with some juice

adams to hold onto the damn ball

waynes to stay on the field without spraining something

I thought this guy would flourish in Minnesota.....not the case. This dude has been invisible and disappointing. After a brief stint on the nose, the Vikings quickly figured out Jaleel Johnson is a 3-technique and he's flourished. Tom Johnson is very solid and the defensive line in general is stacked. No time for a weak link when you've got the talent in that unit like the Viking's have.

how many of you all have a nude photo of youself or your spouse/significant other on your phone or wireless devices?   seriously... in todays cyber attack world,  why the hell would anybody keep shit like that were its obviously not safe....especially celebs that have to know that they are being targeted at a much higher rate than the average joe or jane on the street.

I think its deplorable that people out there are profiting from this shit,  but at some point I have to say the celebs are somewhat at fault for leaving themselves so exposed. ( pun intended)

Mike Zimmer: Vikings facing 'tough' roster decisions along defensive lineThere's enough talent among the defensive line hopefuls at Vikings training camp that making finals cuts in 10 days is going to be difficult, coach Mike Zimmer said.In 10 days, the Vikings will trim the 90-man roster by nearly half.
Some positions will make for easier decisions than others. One of the tougher areas to thin, according to head coach Mike Zimmer, will be the defensive line, which has been a strength of the roster for a couple years.
The decisions aren’t getting any easier with young players like defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson and defensive ends Tashawn Bower and Ifeadi Odenigbo playing well during two preseason games.
“There’s several [defensive line] spots I think we’re going to have some tough issues and that’s why it’s good to have the fourth preseason game,” Zimmer said Wednesday. “This week will be a big week again for a lot of these guys.”

as i was driving today i was hearing espns non stop blathering of some organized gathering outside the NFL headquarters to protest the fact that kapernick doesnt have a job....( even though he voluntarily left his last job while under contract )..... so i start wondering what the hell all these do gooders are going to do if he suddenly gets a job.   are they going to be staking out the practices and protesting if he isnt the starter?  are there going to be non stop interviews with his new teammates asking about his demeanor and professionalism?  will there be special news breaks throughout the day to give reports on his progress?

 if his politics were a hang up for some owners, for some it may be,  but others I think just dont want to deal with the distraction,  but even if he agreed to stop that shit IMO he has become untouchable because of the circus that will surely follow him and the fact that his talents have been so over stated that if he wasnt handed a starting job there would likely be rioting at that teams headquarters.
