Game Thread: Preseason: Vikings vs Seahawks

[Anointed One]

Looking forward to seeing the RB battle continue... Interesting to see how that all unfolds... A weakness for us last season has turned out to be one of strengths in preseason...

Glad to hear Richardson's injury wasn't serious but it's hard to imagine that he'll make it through an entire season, which is one of the reasons why I think Kearse is a lock to make this team...

Sounds like Rawls is out for this one with some ankle issue. Seems to be always something with him. Lacy getting the start, and I would like to see a bit more of Carson.

Guessing they'll be pretty cautious with Richardson even though he was back at practice on Tue and looking pretty normal to me. I guess we'll see on Kearse. I think it's about 50/50 but chances probably getting better is we go forward and not see a whole lot from the younger guys. Kasen Williams' big game last week makes him a bit of a wildcard. Probably will keep 6; I think the only absolute locks are Baldwin, Lockett, Richardson, and Darboh. Likely 2 spots left, so keeping Kearse means you get only 1 of Williams, McEvoy, Moore, Lawler and Grayson. Going to be some tough decisions at WR.

Another strong outing from Carson, Collins could be in trouble... Helk, if Lacy doesn't show something tonight and Collins/Carson do, he could possibly be the odd man out... Tough competition back there... I don't believe Lacy is a lock to make this team yet... Especially w/ the emergence of Carson...

Darboh is a guy i'd like to see get some touches/looks tonight...

I sound like a broken record but o-line and DB2 is what i'll be watching for the first hour.

Williams again!

Want to see the Seahawks punch it in on the ground. Pass play...

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Williams again! Dang he looks good in preseason.

 

[MrS]

Im gonna puke if i have to see another pass to kearse in the endzone

Wow Kasen Williams... I remember this guy was like the #1 WR recruit out of High School... I always thought he'd make it big in the NFL but injuries non stop at UW kept him from really developing. Hopefully he figures it out this year... he looks amazing so far.

He's looked REALLY good, amazing hands... I think we might have found a gem there...

Kasen wants this bad....

Dude Bennett stfu. As a man I try to get people of the opposite sex to sit down on me, AHEM with me, all the time but they all call me a creep, so I don't want to hear your bullshit.

Our pass coverage has to improve with our #1 unit ... We keep blowing coverages and it just seems like guy's are in the wrong spot way too many times, we gotta clean that crap up....

Yup.

Ifeti, that was ugly bro ... real ugly ...

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Jeez Ifedi... If that's a sign of what's to come this season off the right side, yikes. Hunter just blew past him...

Commercials are killing me....

What formation on defense was that on 3rd down ? We had Sherman almost playing at the safety spot, what formation was that ?

Probably still the 4-2-5... your two CBs and FS play the deep zone and pending what side or emphasis Earl is covering (probably helping Lane more) Sherman might almost be playing a traditional SS role. The actual SS+3 CB would be mid part of field and SS covers the flat on the left (facing offense).

UGHHHHHHHHHH.....
