I've got a feeling lots of Sioux County folks have Florida travel plans this weekend! Love to see it!

Not seeing Brett Thorson go on IR points to a brief absence.

High-pressure situations? No problem. We've been there before.

I mean, to get to 2-0 right now without your QB1 is a real testament to the team. Guys like Ben Johnson have never, ever in his career as HC or OC has ever had to use a QB2 or a guy that wasn't a first round draft pick. Then you've got KOC with leaks everywhere at QB:

FOX SINGLE ~ You'll get either a Noon game OR the late (3:05 C) game. Not both.

Sniped.

The 49ers are signing veteran DT Naquan Jones off the Vikings practice squad, per source.

Aaron Jones is not a sure thing for Sunday. Asked what the position looks like without Jones (or Jordan Mason), the first two names Kevin O’Connell mentioned are DeeJay Dallas and Demond Claiborne. https://t.co/YrW6tcXSo9

I doubt we take a big swing this early, but stranger things have happened. Reunite Achane with Frank Smith. Maybe the Eagles 3 and a 6th?

I would absolutely do that. Miami is getting blown out each week, why not get something for your stud RB who may not be in his prime by the time you get a QB in next year's draft and rebuild around him.

Hopefully Teasely is looking at this team and saying, hey we have a QB room that needs a strong run game and defense to win. Why not get a stud RB to help shoulder the load? It could be the one move to put us over the top assuming Kyler, Wentz, or JJM can be league average at QB and avoid turnovers like Darnold did last year for the Seahawks. Smith knows everything about Achane and how to use him.

Let's make it happen.

Definitely have to massage the cap. Convert this year’s salary into signing bonus. Add a couple void years. It could be done. Big contract but not nearly as big as the last two RB deals.

Or maybe the youngster shines with the opportunity and we’re golden. Regardless, really need to add a RB if not two next year. Thank god we have Felton covering kicks instead of Tuten.

Yup, I’m still bitter about that.

No Jones or a severely limited one?

Crickey, I've been pounding the table for a RB for at least 2 years now...

Vikings have given me the big middle finger on it...
