I think BFlo's got his type of dawgs now on D that know how to run it....those new interior guys (Allen, Hargrave) are going to make everyone better. Redmond is on fire. I think part of the Viking's offensive inconsistency this TC is just that they are going up against a really good D.

The Vikings front 7 put in some work yesterday against the Patriots in joint practice 

“The domination was so thorough by the Vikings’ front seven that three straight plays at one point would’ve resulted in a sack.”

Just to balance it out a bit, the Pats scored 3 or 4 TD's when Maye did have time!
But did you see those 3 TDs? 2 blown coverages left guys wide open for 2 and Maye threw an 8 yard dump pass to Henderson that he took 60 yards for a TD. This is why I say this stuff doesn't mean too much, its all about context. The coverage is probably either too flowery or too harsh by those 'reporting' on it.

Sure. Hey, you can always go hibernate until a few minutes before the September 8th game in Chicago if its too fluffy for you in here. Its August 14th, we all know the bullets aren't live yet.

KOC announced JJ will not play Saturday against New England, smart move. Looks like Metellus is going to be fine, not sure about Nailor....haven't heard an update on him. Brett Rypien is persona non grata as Brosmer continues to play decently. Greenard spoke glowingly about Jalen Redmond, said he's playing as well as Jon Allen and Hargrave. And not sure how many have watched any highlights from yesterday: Hargrave basically picked up Bradbury like a toddler and pushed him back into the QB....not missing Garrett Bradbury.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy completed 12 passes in a row at one point, which reflected how the Patriots' defense was on its heels for the majority of Thursday's practice. "I think they got the best of us today," Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins said.
