and Thielen was a ....

Thielen has been clutch the last two games.  He basically set up the winning TD against Detroit.  The guy is money when the chips are down.

And KJO would be riding the pine or on the practice squad if Beebe didn't get injured.

You be right.

Thielen is already an all time great, and he's not even retired. 

He's soooo good, I take him for granted.

Not sure about that...  he was getting more opportunities with the 1s in Training Camp than Beebe or Bisi.  It seemed like every other day we were getting a sweet KJ catch from Cousins from the local beat reporters on Twitter.

Agreed. The light turned on for him and he was noticeably improved throughout training camp.

KJ is a player and has earned his spot as a legit #3 WR threat.  I think the #1 and #2 spots won't skip a beat much if KJ needs to fill in from time to time.  He's still getting better too.

Yeah, there was a buzz about KJ back in OTA's, about all the work he put in in the offseason. Then training camp only ratcheted that up. Having a legit 3rd WR is a big deal.

I never expected Osborn to emerge as a legitimate 3rd receiver, but he's been really good this year. Reliable 3rd down target, nice hands, and he's even shown he can be a deep threat.

AT is crazy good, his focus on that TD.  But I do question whether it was a catch.  Hard to see if he had control as he went out of bounds.

I like that stat that Minnesota has more sacks this year so far than all of last year.
