  This Is Akin To Being The Tallest Midget In The Room

Malik Jefferson - LB - Longhorns

Texas junior LB Malik Jefferson was named the Big 12's co-Defensive Player of the Year.
Jefferson (6'3/240) shares the honor with Oklahoma DE/LB Ogbonnia Okoronkwo. The junior posted 110 tackles (10.0 for loss), four sacks and a quintet of quarterback hurries over the course of the regular season. He's expected to declare for the draft in the coming weeks and looks to be part of the first-round conversation when we hit the thick of the evaluating process during the spring.

Lowell Lotulelei - DL - Utes

An AFC director of area scouting told NFL.com's Lance Zierlein that Utah junior DL Lowell Lotulei has seen his stock drop this year.
Lotulelei (6'2/320) started the year as one of the top defensive tackles in the class, but that stock has taken a big hit in 2017. "I was high on him before the year started but he was a major disappointment," the director said. "He knew this was his year to play well and make money but he did nothing to get rid of all that excess weight and his tape wasn't very good." Zierlein echoed those sentiments and then some, going as far as to say that major disappointment was an understatement. There's just one more chance for Lotulelei to improve his tape at Utah, but a because of his size, a strong showing at showcases along with his lineage (his brother, Star, has shown flashes of dominance in the NFL), he has a chance to still be a top-three round selection.

An AFC area scout tells NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein that Georgia senior RB Sony Michel will be better as a pro than in college.
"I'm Team Sony all the way," the scout told Zierlein. He will have a better pro career than college career because he has a pro game to him. I bet he goes second (round)." Zierlein agrees with the scout's assessment, mentioning his decisiveness, physicality and an explosive burst. One of the truly interesting stories this spring will be to see where Michel and his teammate Nick Chubb will go in the 2018 draft. Both should be off the board by the end of round two.

  Charles Johnson Suspended For 4 Games

Charles Johnson - DL - Panthers

NFL suspended Panthers DE Charles Johnson four games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
The suspension will go into effect immediately. "I have been recovering from back surgery, dealing with the daily grind of football and mistakenly thought this could help. It was an error in judgement on my part," said Johnson in his apology. "Regretfully I have disappointed people, but I promise to come back ready to redeem myself when this suspension is over." He'll be eligible to return in Week 17.

On our side, 34 year old still tbd why someone so young died this week. 

One Christian service, the other Jewish before sun-down. 

Vikings football is a nice diversion today.

I just jinxed the team,  It just slipped out before I realized I had done it. 

I work with a philly fan and he was talking shit and before I could stop myself I bet him that the Vikings would finish the year better than the Iggles.  Now I am sitting here trying to convince myself that the $200 will be better than a superbowl victory...

my hard and fast rule for the last 20 years has been "never bet on the Vikings, but never bet against the Vikings" and i went and broke it... Damn it Me!

Baker Mayfield - QB - SoonersOklahoma redshirt senior QB Baker Mayfield was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

Mayfield also came away with the honor back in 2015. Perhaps the Heisman Trophy favorite -- we still like Lamar Jackson as deserving but there just hasn't been the same excitement around him this season as there was a year ago -- the redshirt senior has thrown for 4,097 yards (71.4-percent completions) with a 37/5 TD/INT ratio for the regular season. He's had his minor moments of non-football infamy this season (planting the flag after a win over Ohio State, his vaguely NSFW acts against Kansas) but there have been no signs that those incidents will have any impact on his chances for big-time hardware.
I see Keenum with more arm talent...sign Case to a deal similar to Glennon...let Baker marinate behind Keenum...but, there will be a couple safeties around this spot that would look good here...top end G too...

  Vikings Case Keenum week to week as he goes win to win. Hey, it works.
Posted by: purplefaithful - 12-01-2017, 04:33 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (1)

Minnesota’s past two starting quarterbacks, tacit or otherwise, were knocked out for the season by knee injuries, Teddy Bridgewater in August 2016, Sam Bradford this season for the third time in his career. That uncertainty is what pulled Keenum, an on-and-off starter in five-plus seasons.
That might be reason enough not to anoint Keenum the permanent starter. The Vikings have two franchise quarterbacks on the roster and neither is the guy leading the team to its best season in years. Bridgewater, for whom the Vikings traded up in the 2014 NFL Draft, is now a backup who hasn’t played in anything but an exhibition since a memorably cold afternoon in January 2016.
Minnesota controls its own fate in the division and holds playoff tiebreakers on the Rams (8-3) and New Orleans Saints (8-3). Heavy lifting remains, but victories over the Falcons (7-4) and Carolina Panthers (8-3) the next two weeks would set the stage for a final boss meeting in the playoffs with the Philadelphia Eagles, 10-1 and winners of nine straight.
With a path to the NFC Championship game and little room for error, Zimmer’s hesitance to pass his quarterback a valentine in public seems prudent. Frankly, Zimmer probably should still be eating the same thing for breakfast that he had Oct. 9 in Chicago, the day Keenum relieved an immobile Bradford in a 20-17 victory.
The Vikings haven’t lost since, and Keenum remains week to week while playing the best football of his career: 2,476 passing yards with 14 touchdowns, five interceptions and a 96.2 QB rating.
“I never said Bradford was the starter for the season,” Zimmer said. “Everybody assumed it, but I don’t know that I have to say that.”
