  Zimmer analyzes rookies Cook, Elflein’s preseason debuts
Posted by: purplefaithful - 08-13-2017, 01:23 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (1)

Two Minnesota Vikings rookies with high expectations got their first chance to put on a purple jersey and face off with another team on Thursday night. Dalvin Cook got nine touches in his debut and Elflein played a large chunk of the game with the second team.On Saturday, the team was back at Winter Park for practice. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Cook didn’t get a ton of opportunities to show all of his talent, but did demonstrate some competitiveness.
“Elflein played very, very well,” Zimmer said. “He had one bad snap, but he played really well. He missed one guy, he took a poor angle.”

  L.Murray: Late best friend ‘will be looking down’

Latavius Murray: Late best friend ‘will be looking down’ when he finally takes field for the Vikings
When Latavius Murray and Jonathan Diaz met two decades ago, they weren’t exactly fast friends.
The two were classmates in kindergarten in Onondaga, N.Y., which borders Syracuse. One day, tensions boiled over.
“We had a fight, and our parents said, ‘Hey, you guys need to make up,’ ’’ Murray said. “And from that moment, our relationship just kicked off. He became like a brother to me.”
Murray and Diaz were best friends throughout their school years. At Onondaga High School, Murray was the star halfback and Diaz led the way as his blocking fullback. When Murray was taken in the sixth round of the 2013 draft by Oakland and made the NFL, he saw Diaz whenever he could, often flying him to Raiders games.
Then came Nov. 24, 2016, early Thanksgiving morning. Diaz was shot to death at age 26 during a dispute over a woman at a Syracuse bar. The news hit Murray hard. He flew home the following week and, choking up, spoke at his best friend’s funeral...

  LSU DL Coach Should Lose His Job
Posted by: JustinTime18™ - 08-12-2017, 12:43 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (4)

How much untapped potential between Hunter and Bower did he sit on? 

Finally watched the rest of the Bills game...#64 had several nice plays...so did All Vowels...man, we are going to try and slide a good young DE on to the PS and lose a potential starter...I know Patterson thinks Weatherly is going to garner some snaps this year, but so far, IMO, Bower should be our 4th DE...

After hearing a few things that have unfolded the past couple of weeks, I am especially proud of this act from my son.
It's acts like this that show who he really is.

  Dalvin Cook's emergence means Vikings' era of one-dimensional backs is over
Posted by: purplefaithful - 08-11-2017, 09:52 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (10)

Dalvin Cook's emergence means Vikings' era of one-dimensional backs is overThe Vikings' plan to use Dalvin Cook in myriad ways was evident against the Bills. Of the 43 yards Dalvin Cook gained in the Vikings’ first preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, 30 of them came on receptions.

Of the five times Cook carried the ball, four of them were out of the shotgun or pistol formation.
It’s a new era for Vikings running backs, indeed.
The team’s plan for Cook is not fully formed yet, certainly not after one preseason game that saw the rookie celebrate his 22nd birthday with a modest 18 snaps — which included nine touches, and yes, a gaffe in pass protection. But with Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon both sidelined with injuries for the Vikings’ first preseason game, the team made it clear once again that it will not be shy with a rookie running back.
The days of Adrian Peterson are over, and the Vikings have spent little time lamenting the future Hall of Famer’s departure, at least not in their offensive game-planning sessions...
