There has been discussion about ways to watch the games etc... alternatives to The Sunday Ticket.  I'm curious what you would be willing to pay to watch the games, I'm working on an option (legal option) that would allow you to watch the games.  You would also have year round access to the twin cities channels.
I've added a poll on what you would be willing to pay for access, (after initial equipment cost which would be approximately 150 dollars

  Real Football on Thursday Night - Here's what I look for
Posted by: Tom Moore - 08-09-2017, 12:28 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (21)

It is preseason game #1, so don't expect to learn a lot from the starters.  We all want to see the Offensive line and Dalvin Cook, but wait til next week to evaluate that.


I want to see if Taylor Heinicke or Case Keenam is the backup.  Taylor is up and down, but looked the better of the two in camp.  Not one chance in Hell that Teddy is ready for opening day.  He is in very rudimentary rehab on the field with Sharrif Floyd, who looks more and more like he will never play another down in the NFL.
What do rookies Rodney Adams and Stacy Coley bring?  Coley looked better in camp at the wideout position, but Adams is the flash for kick returns.   Will Moritz Bohringer ever get off the line of scrimmage, get open, and get any pass beyond 6 yards?  This guy looks the part, but is running about 8th string.  He does nothing in practice, he is just a warm body who is simply too raw for the NFL.
Bucky Hodges vs David Morgan.  Morgan is the better blocker, and Hodges is supposedly the better pass receiver, but he has not shown a lot in camp.
Can Jarius Wright get out of the doghouse and make this team?  At present, he is the 4th best wideout to the naked eye (behind Floyd, Thielen and Diggs), but the team just seems to always be looking for someone better to showcase.  Wright made a spectacular play in the scrimmage on Saturday night for a long TD reception...but no one talks about him.
LaQuon Treadwell - before we got to Mankato, everyone said he was having a better camp this year.  Since then, he has been injured and not at practice.  As Pete Bercich says, "you can't make the club, if you're always in the tub (whirlpool rehabbing).
Who grabs Chad Greenway's open LB spot?  Ben Gedeon was starting in camp, but the first depth chart didn't even list him there, instead, putting him 3rd team MLB.  Weird.  Lamur ahd Robinson have shown very little, but are listed ahead of Gedeon.
Has MacKenzie Alexander grown into the CB spot?  He has looked much better in camp, and so has Trae Waynes.  (on a side note, Waynes is very standoffish to the media, and Alexander is with him everywhere, which means neither talks to the press)
Punters and kickers - a bunch of lesser-known names, and it will be good to see what they show.
What do you look for?

  Pat Elflein: The next great Minnesota Vikings center
Posted by: purplefaithful - 08-09-2017, 11:30 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (4)

In most cities, centers are nameless. In Minnesota, centers are famous. 
In fact, if you ask most NFL fans who their favorite team’s last five centers were, you would get shrugs and sideways looks. In Minnesota, that trivia question would be just as easy as naming the team’s last five quarterbacks. 

When former center Matt Birk, who hasn’t suited up for the Vikings since 2008, spent a day at training camp in Mankato, onlookers shouted his name and the team’s digital media crew pulled him aside for an exclusive interview. 
In the minds of older fans, Birk probably ranks second among all-time great Vikings centers to Mick Tingelhoff, who started all 259 Vikings games between 1963 and 1977 and made six Pro Bowls. 
There’s also Jeff Christy, center for the ‘98 team that reached the NFC title game, and John Sullivan, who was in the middle of all sorts of Adrian Peterson highlight runs. You regularly see these guys’ replica jerseys at training camp.
This year, the Vikings are looking to Pat Elflein to step into this non-traditional spotlight.
