Bradbury

Right now, I'll admit I was hard on the little fella. He's a scrappy dude that gets his ass handed to him sometimes but keeps coming back play after play. Having said that, his quickness and movement skills are top shelf for a center. He's smart as well. 

If you watch the replay of the Vikings Tush Push against the 49ers, Bradbury ends up laying in the end zone but Cousin studder steps and looses the quickness of the play and not following the wedge Bradbury made for him, gets tackled.

Still, would like to see Bradbury a little heavier/ stronger and not get pushed around.

He'll never anchor like a bigger center can...

But Viking fans might have to find some other whipping boys soon - GB and Ingram are improving a lot. 

Watch the break down at the 51 minute mark. Also the comparison to Eagles, Miami, and SF pushes.

Actually, I would like to see KOC design a great fake Push play and be the first one to use it as they talk about in the video.  Just use it in the perfect time, say on second down so if it doesn’t work, you can still go traditional on third down.

He has somewhat improved in pass pro,  but with his size issues and the back that likely will be an issue going forward,  I think you can add C to the list of needs for the future.  we cant continue to lose on short yardage and goal line situations,  need to get more push out of the interior 3 OL.

I still don't trust his wonky back & OC should be a need in the upcoming draft. Draft an OC on Day 3, there s/b some good ones still available.

I'm actually eating a crow sandwich, using leftovers from the crow roast I had on Tuesday night. I've also had crow casserole earlier this season.

After most of a decade of just-plain-awful o-line ratings and results, I'm having my diet rearranged by Bradbury and even Ingram.

That said, how many games 'til Bradbury's back does its thing, again?

That was embarrassing to watch. Kirk has zero athletic ability and power to execute a Tush Push.

Zero athletic ability?

Purdy failed pretty spectacularly as well.  SKOR north had a great breakdown on their podcast.  Part of the issue is the O-Line, the Eagles line up in the old triple wing setup with the O-line overlapping each others legs.  Their gaps are 0.  The Vikings has small gaps, but not like the Eagles.  

And the fact that Kirk looked like he hasn't practiced that much as he rocked back, creating separation between him and the center.  That allowed Warner to leap over and stop him.  Hurts is already driving forward as he gets the ball.  It is obvious the Eagles actually practice this and have perfected it.

My son played Jr Tackle on a team that was very good at the triple wing.  The mentality of the o-line has to be different being that close and working as a unit.  It takes some practice and quite obviously better coaching of the fine details.

It wasn't just this game, Kirk has always been questionable when attempting a QB sneak. He doesn't have the lower body strength and quickness.

I just question the phrase "Zero athletic ability" when referring to a starting NFL QB.  But yes, he is not built for that play, but I would say it is more on the practice and execution.  If he was following bradbury from the snap, he would have made it.

Agreed. Don't start with that shit about Kirk not having any athletic ability. He's a top 10 NFL QB.

I remember the 96 Questions with BRob where he was asking who was basically the least athletic looking (who would be picked last on the playground)

It was pretty unanimous that the chubby faced guard (name slips my mind at the moment, but he signed with the Saints) would be picked last.  Then BRob finished, but at the end of the day, he is a starting guard in the NFL soooo.

Wow!!! I must have triggered your extra sensitive emotions regarding Kirk. He can throw a great pass with perfect protection. That is not in question and that is not what I meant about his inability to execute a simple QB sneak or his lack of athleticism to execute the Tush Push compared to Hurts, Mahomes, Lamar who can actually run with the football.

You flatter yourself. I couldn't even remember having a conversation with you.
