John Randle DNC

[Still Hurtn]

Saw a article on X the great John Randle was at the DNC for Minnesota. Didn't know he was involved in politics. I first I thought is was some AI spoof. JR might be one of my all time favorite Vikings. Great personal story on his journey to and through the NFL.

A Hall of Famer, what a force of nature at DT. And regardless of where you align politically, he's not afraid to put it out there.

I'm hoping LDR is a reincarnate...

LDR is interesting: big motor, high energy, active, 6'4", 300 lb. long armed DT. He might have a spot as a situational pass rusher from the DT spot. He keeps his arms up, he'll bat down passes. Needs an offseason of NFL strength training, but he's strong now. A little raw as well, might be best served getting on the practice squad but somebody would poach him.

Thought he might put a "skol vikings" at the end of that, but then that probably wouldn't go over well in the Windy City.

He has the same personality, doesn't he? Both he and Taimani are getting high marks in various metrics from the first couple preseason games. Even Flores mentioned them in his last presser. That's a great combo too if they end up sticking. An immovable NT next to a hair-on-fire penetrating DT is what this team has been missing since the days of the Williams Wall.

I am always so surprised when I see him listed at 6'4" as he doesn't seem that tall.  With that height a lot of room for his frame to develop.  They really seem to love him, think he definitely makes the team and agree he would be taken quickly off the PS.

I am really impressed with the scouting staff, from the videos of the draft room, you could see how badly they wanted to draft Rouse, Jurgens and LDR in the late rounds and all 3 seem like solid 3rd day picks which is really the key to building a great roster.

Yes, we were watching the DNC convention last evening and I was shocked to see that dude that looked like someone familiar saying the Minnesota support for Walz and Harris...I turned to my wife and said "that looks like John Randle!". Except he was in a suit and tie and didn't have any eye makeup. And then I think I saw the crawler at the bottom of the screen referencing John Randle...good for him.

He used to be one of my favorite players.

I mean I hate to get political, but the doors been open so... 

Seriously though, why would anybody vote for more of the same of the last four years under Biden/Harris? The cost of EVERYTHING has gone up astronomically. I can't even go to Subway for lunch anymore without it costing me $20 bucks. Gas is $5 dollars a gallon. Groceries, hotels, airfare...everything is up under the inflation driven by this regime. I'm going to have to sell a kidney to go on vacation. You may not like Trump the person, but if you are a hard working middle class American and voting for Kamala Harris and this "War hero" from Minnesota...you are slitting your own throats financially. Nevermind all the other failed issues and policies.
