I think I had a seizure in the first part of that post. No idea what I typed. Must be my McBride excitement.

A cheat code maybe?

I was just making a bad pun about Ty Chandler

Well in the world of "No shit" news that isn't news:

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport expects Alvin Kamara to be suspended.
Rapoport was only speculating, but it’s a good starting point for fantasy managers trying to decode Kamara’s situation. Kamara was facing a felony charge following an incident at a nightclub in Las Vegas during Pro Bowl weekend last year, but he eventually pled no contest to a misdemeanor and the felony charges were dropped. He is now meeting with Roger Goodell before the commissioner decides on a suspension. Rapoport threw out two, four, and six-week suspensions as possible outcomes. Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller would both be in line for sizable roles if Kamara is out of action to start the year.

We knew he was going to be suspended. Everybody knew he was going to be suspended. It's the number of games that would be news.

Went 13-4 last year, lost by one TD to the Giants in a wild card game..biggest division rival lost their HOF QB, very realistic expectations of winning.

Boggles my mind why they let Cook walk and are trying to replace him with a career AAAA (baseball term) RB, and rookies and schmucks. For the sake of the RB position as a whole, I hope they fail miserably and become exhibit A that having a decent RB still matters.

Wasnt even aware he was in BigD

It's easy over to overlook him.

the commanders did not make the playoffs so i pulled for the vikes. could not how lame they played against the giants.they should have kept cook regardless of how much it cost them.

Vikes D is not very good. Cousins is gonna have to throw like a maniac, which is not his strong suit.

4th in att, 4th in comp, 4th in yards, 5th in TDs but also tied with Josh Allen and Carr for 2nd most INTs (which doesn't matter much for fantasy, as long as he keeps the attempts up)

Dink and Dunk. And throw to Jefferson. What else we got here, besides KJ (Norman) Osborn? Whose nickname should totally be "The Green Goblin".

You banking on the Lamborghini Kid in his first year?

Hock got 8.5 targets per after being dealt your way mid season.

I’m assuming that goes up a little. And he isn’t used solely underneath this year.

Forgot about him.

I might have to Hock me a Loogie.

Between JJ, Hock taking up the primary amount of Defensive attention, Osbourne and Addison SHOULD be adequate secondary targets. Even if Addison isn't all his draft stock says he should be, Osborne has been good enough to be that third guy. There should no lack of quality options for Cousins to throw. I'm just concerned that there is no other half of the offense except an 'almost goid enough', a huge question mark with a later round rookie who 'might be, probably ain't or he'd have been drafted higher' and a few 'never will be's' in the backfield. If Kirk Cousins is dropping back 35-40 times a game again, dudes arm is gonna fall off, if he isnt knocked out first. 46 sacks last year, ouch.

When you have a stud like JJ, doesn't take much to get open opposite him against lesser coverage guys, I guess we'll see. But as mentioned above, Hock slid into the Thielen role quite nicely last year.

Not in today's game, I'm more worried about the guys getting extra targets/catches getting hurt from the extra hits out in the field during jumps than the QBs behind the OL

46 2023 sacks are like 10 2003 sacks, when it comes to cumulative impact on QB's body.

QBs slide into trouble behind the line, barely any major body weight landing on them after the hit or its a drive altering penalty, can't fart near their head without roughing the passer called... totally different game

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Viking passing offense should be very good IMO. Last season they were 6th in passing yards per game and threw for 30 TDs (only 3 teams had more passing TDs) now they Hock fully familiar with the offense and added Addison who many feel is the best WR coming out of the draft they should surpass last years totals.
Course the issue is the running game and what effect does a lame rushing attack have on the passing offense? My feelings are the pass offense may be less efficient but that will be off set by more volume. Wish I could of gotten some stock in Addison in drafts but wasn't able to.

I'll push back a little on that point. Did you watch 'Quarterback" on Netflix by chance? Cousins was beat to a pulp by seasons end. And be it 2022, 2003, 1982, 1950..he was still taking SHOTS, many of them not even sacks. And while yes a fart in the general direciton seems to be a penaltythese days,, and yes guys are doing their level best to not get penalized, all it takes is once, just right, legal hit or not, cuz they certainly happen, and 15 yards is of no consolation when your QB cracks ribs, dislocates a shoulder or breaks a bone. And the more times your getting hit, the greater those odds are that that one is eventually coming.

And Cousins 46 sacks last year was third most last year, would've been third most in 2021, and 4th most in 2020..whatever way you slice it, it's a lot of hits. And he's days away from 35 years old..most of the guys getting hit about the same or more, are younger..except RW..and we've seen what he's become.

New offensive coach. Rookie on the OL giving up 11 himself. Their defense was awful so I'm guessing they were playing from behind a bit. Easy for defenders to pin back and rush. OL is bringing everyone back. They should be better.
