Ersery only in for the opening series and looked good

Daniel Jackson was on the kick return team on the line before he moved back to field one. Ran some good routes and appeared to be open a number of times, but I think that prick from wiscosin was icing him out.

The second most impactful defender in the PJ era. He made more big plays by halftime of most games then MSM would make in a month.
So the two posts I've read of yours today are calling the newest regents knuckleheads, so literally no reason. And now shitting a former player and current coach.

Good job 👌

Feels like Bateman is really coming into his own and becoming a focal point for Jackson. Hopefully he can stay healthy and keep making strides.
 






Nubin has reached what is probably the best level of NFL player.....which is "we don't dress you for preaseason games" level. Haha.

Brosmer looked the part today. He plays like that in the next to PS games and I think he's in the roster.
I think he's already on the roster as QB3. I think the only remaining QB battle is if they like Rypien or Howell as the QB2 or if they go out and find a different QB2. I 100% feel good about if we had to start Brosmer for 1 game they might be able win with him, not sure if I want him as a long term option as the backup yet. But OTOH, Howell and Rypien have been pretty underwhelming.

Interesting take. I don't see Max being anywhere close to being ready to start for a pro team yet, but I do see the Vikes stashing him for a year or two to see if he can keep building off of what he's already shown and letting him grow into more of a qb2 role if he can handle it. You can save a ton of money that way and if he has a full grasp of the offense, you really don't need much else at that backup spot in a league full of shaky at best backups, many of whom have a ton of talent but half-ass the chess portion of the game.
 


Looks like Terrell Smith is out for the season as well....not a good preseason injury-wise for Gopher's cornerbacks......bummer

I don't think he's ready to start but if you're at a point where QB3 has to play, I'm about as confident in him as you can be with QB3.
