Can't help but wonder....

Hopefully we won't have to call the injury list, the Barr Report...

To me Kendricks is our best linebacker. The guy is all over the field and never gives up on a play. I like his hustle and I like his tenacity.

I think he already took that title. I am a huge Barr fan as well as a major Kendricks fan but you have to give credit where credit is due. I am rooting for Barr but Kendricks has the edge right now. Kendricks has a motor that's always going and he is constantly involved in making plays. He has such incredible burst up the middle. He is so much fun to watch.

Kendricks has been our best LB for the last two year by a country mile...I've got no idea what's going on with Barr...He's invisible...the wrist injury is one thing, but he's not making any plays, big or small...He's probably better suited for a 3-4 team and maybe he wants out... 

Kendricks has the heart and intensity of a linebacker.  I don't see that in Barr.

I see similarities in Barr that I saw in Kalil,  they just rarely showed any fire in their bellies and for a football player that is not a good thing...especially a linebacker.

Team cant afford to not have Floyd or Barr contributing. Fingers crossed on #55, was damn close to getting a Barr jersey after 11/5 too.

If his game doesn't improve, imagine the unhappiness next year when we're paying him $12M...

Crazy to think we could be looking LB in the first or second in the next draft.

Luckily it looks as though we hit on Gedeon (sp) this year. They may end up being huge

I would agree that Kendricks has been our best LBer the past two seasons, but Barr hasn't been a slouch.  He played like a stud his first two years in the league, and had a down year this past season.

However, go back and rewatch the Saints game...  Barr was flying all over the field and playing with intensity.  He looked like the player from his first two seasons.  8 tackles and 1.5 TFL compared to Kendrick's 6 tackles and no TFL.  I don't know if this is Barr playing for a new contract or if Zimmer calling him out last season has finally resonated with him...  but I'd argue he played as good or better than Kendricks against the Saints.

OK, went back and rewatched from the 7 minute mark of the third quarter (that's all I had due to Irma)...and I saw nothing...maybe his damage was done before that point...but I saw no production out of #55...

Barr made some very nice plays, hit with authority.  That said, Kendricks is our best LB right now.

Is someone ruing his moniker?

I don't think there's any doubt that Kendricks is the Vikes best LB.  Not sure what happened to Barr but he's definitely not the same player.  Now he's hurt again, not sure he can handle the physical demands of the game.

LOL...no, no ruage yet...

I think Barr had a real nice game on Monday. He really seemed to be around the ball and wrapping people up. A couple times it looked as though he was really enjoying himself lol.
Kendricks is our best LB though and becoming a real leader on that defense.

I think Kendricks is clearly our best LB.  Barr seems invisible to me, but I think some
of that has to be scheme related, but I’m not exactly sure what his role is, I
just know that it doesn’t seem like he’s getting burned or anything, just not
making splash plays.
