  Film review: Keenum’s been called a ‘gunslinger,’ but quick reads have keyed success
Posted by: purplefaithful - 12-06-2017, 01:41 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (6)

In the second half of the Minnesota Vikings’ 14-9 win over the Atlanta Falcons, they dominated possession of the ball, at one point killing more than eight minutes of the clock on a single drive. At the center of their success was Pat Shurmur’s play calling and Case Keenum’s ability to make reads both pre and post snap.http://www.1500espn.com/vikings-2/2017/12/film-review-keenums-called-gunslinger-quick-reads-keyed-success/

  Legend John Randle has high praise for one specific current Viking
Posted by: purplefaithful - 12-06-2017, 01:31 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (4)

At the end of our chat, I asked Randle about the 2017 Vikings. He still lives in Minnesota and knows plenty about the current team, so I was curious if he had any specific thoughts about a 10-2 team that is doing a lot of things well right now.
Randle singled out one player — not surprisingly a defensive player — for the target of much of his specific praise.
“Everson Griffen reminds me of myself, but he has Linval Joseph next to him. Guys like Linval Joseph, you don’t just find guys like that on every team,” Randle said. “Those are the kinds of players who come to work and maybe don’t get the thrills and satisfaction Griffen gets, but you need a guy like that on your team. He’s a guy that does it day in, day out. For guys who played in the National Football League like me, I know that when you talk about the Minnesota Vikings you have to talk about Linval Joseph. He is not a man, he is men. That dude is a load.”
He’s not a man, he is men.
I’ll be thinking about that one for a long time. Nicely done, John Randle.

  Success of Vikings, Saints accentuates fall of AP...

Peterson's worth was undeniable five years ago when he won NFL Most Valuable Player award while carrying the Vikings into the playoffs. Sadly, his value today is equally unmistakable.

  Who from 98 or 09 would you add to this team? Or vica versa?
Posted by: purplefaithful - 12-06-2017, 01:26 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (33)

Gotta exclude Moss from the discussion though, thats too easy. Maybe Favre too. 

Heard this on local sports radio the other day...Great discussion on the airwaves.

  Soaring Saints tandem, Vikings ascension accentuate Adrian Peterson's fall
Posted by: Montana Tom - 12-06-2017, 01:19 PM - Forum: The Longship - No Replies

I think most of us can be anointed as prophets for predicting something along these lines, that there was not enough tread left on the tire, and we were an ancient NFL team because we "ran first through AD", allowing all defenses to stack the box. 
But our collective predictions have come true in an emphatic way, and not just by OUR success without AD, but with the exclamation point put up there by the Saints.
Freed from the shackles of a) that contract and b) his ego of demanding HE gets the ball, we have become balanced.

  Are surging Vikings getting help from the Other Side?
Posted by: purplefaithful - 12-06-2017, 01:12 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (15)

Psychic Ruth Lordan has some advice for Vikings coach Mike Zimmer. Maybe he should listen. The last time Lordan gave Zimmer something, the Vikings won. Then they won again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
Eight straight games. Eight straight wins.
Lordan is convinced it’s no coincidence. She’s the Edina-based psychic who gave Zimmer a crystal ball just days after the Vikings lost to the Detroit Lions 14-7 on Oct 1.
The Vikings haven’t lost since, which comes as no surprise to Lordan.
“Why would I be surprised?” she asked.
The crystal ball came with a large purple veil and a little bit of magic.
Lordan’s advice has to do with keeping that magic flowing because the way she sees it, if the magic continues, so will the win streak.
“I heard from a TV reporter that Mike Zimmer had it on his desk,” Lordan said. “I think it would be good for him to keep it there. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. And remember, it’s the crystal ball plus the purple veil.”
The veil was given to Lordan by the wife of Doctor Fink, who played keyboard for Prince’s band, The Revolution.

  I think Minnesota, Seattle, New Orleans and Philadelphia all lose in Wk 14

Obviously, don't want a Viking's loss, but this is my prediction...no coincidence these are all road teams. Another big week of important NFL games, good stuff.
