Cole to start over Bradbury
Interesting.
Mason Cole to start at center for #Vikings over Garrett Bradbury

I didn't think Zimmer would do it. Its the right call. Get your best players out there for this stretch run and see if its possible to snag a WC spot. Time to put the pedal to the metal.
Wow. This will be a big test for Cole up against Kenny Clark. This almost certainly means Bradbury is done in Minnesota. But today will have a lot to say about whether we stick with Cole or draft someone in the spring.
Bradbury was the 18th pick in the draft...What a bummer
Cole wasnt that good today, but he kept Clark from wrecking the game, thats an improvement over Bradbury

Somehow we need corners again too ( rolling eyes)
If this team had a lick of sense, they’d have Matt Birk come in to work w/ these 2 centers! They could give him part of Virtual Rico’s™️ salary…! ;) B)
I thought the interesting part of this was how the announcers mentioned it was possible that both Cole and Bradbury could play, which obviously meant one would replace Udoh.
Anyone notice Udoh? I don't recall a single penalty and his PFF grade was in the 70s. He had a good game when his job was on the line.
I thought Cole did OK. He got pushed back quicker and faster than even Bradbury, but damned if he didn't recover most of the time. I think that goes to technique.

Cleveland deserves some atta boys. There was a time when someone came untouched between him and Cole, but he otherwise looked pretty good. And I don't recall any false starts!
This is what happens when you give Cousins time....

@"greediron" said: anyone still liking Cole over Bradbury?Kenny Clark kicks everyone's ass, including Bradbury. Many times. The two games prior that Cole played pretty well. Matchups. I think the more likely answer is we need a new center next year, period.
@"greediron" said: anyone still liking Cole over Bradbury?He wasnt the revelation i was hoping he’d be, but he wasnt terrible. i think its close between him and bradbury.
Cole doesn't look like an improvement over Bradbury. This team needs a C with an anchor... BAD.
@"MaroonBells" said:I give the nod to Bradbury, both don't anchor well, Cole is too tall and lanky probably, but his protection calls are an issue. At least Bradbury seems to do well there.@"greediron" said: anyone still liking Cole over Bradbury?

When was the last time we saw a Vikings nose tackle do that to an opponent?

I was hoping a Pierce/Tomlinson interior DL was going to help a lot. Not Kenny Clark good, but good enough.Unfortunately that hasn't happened.
