Lots of Faalele praise

Donate To GopherHole

Awesome to hear these are the things we miss live at the game.

Maybe dropping a few pounds over the 2 off-seasons has helped him move better as a pass blocker. Excited to see the rest of his season.

Every one of the Ohio State D-Linemen is on Mel Kiper's board. They are all seniors who are projected in rounds 1-3 of this NFL draft. This tape likely made Daniel millions of dollars so long as he goes well the rest of the year.

Faalele is the first Gopher in my lifetime with the talent to be the #1 overall NFL draft pick. Since he's likely a RT in the pros he won't be, but he's cut from that sort of timber.

Derek Burns opinion on oline play carries so much weight with me. I always appreciate him breaking down game film and explaining the blocking concepts.

I popped in here to say this. I’m not sure if he still does the YouTube videos but I’ve learned so much from him about football. Changed the way I watch games

Wow, I didn't know this stat. FIgured they were very talented, but that's insane. We need an OL appreciation thread. I'm gonna go start one, lol..

I see he joined Burns podcast. Haven’t listened to it yet.

I’ll listen to him all day. He knows football at a level I absolutely do not. I never played, so I lack that knowledge.

I spend a lot of time with my father in law who has coached for 30 years. He teaches me a lot as well.
 








With that tape against OSU, he'll be a top 15 pick.

I completely forgot about that. That is one of the funniest things out there. RIP Jerry.
 

Are the Vikings looking for a tackle in next year's draft? It is time to stop snubbing the hometown Gophers!

They had AWJr in the palm of their hands, but they outsmarted themselves. What are they thinking of AWJr now the one that got away cheap?

They just drafted one in the 1st and have a sold one already. I don’t see them taking another OT early in the draft.

Off-topic, but I can't resist.

It won't matter. There will be a whole new order as far as tackles and other personnel decisions before next season.

The Wilf's are getting serious knee burns from the Kirk Cousins decision by Spielman and Zimmer. My two cents - if there is any more Cousins drama and the team tanks, the Wilf's are going to wilt and send the three stooges packing. I always wondered why they got bamboozled by the mediocre sycophantic Cousins? Why, why, why? It looked like Spielman and Zimmer outsmarted themselves. They are great paper tigers at best. I'd be really upset with Cousins if I am a Vikings season ticket holder. He is not the leader we want him to be.
