>>>ALL THINGS VIKINGS<<<

Gary Kubiak assistant head coach WOW is Zimmer on his way out? this is getting strange and how much say so will Kubiak have this is very curious IMO something i read

 

The Denver Mafia has arrived in Minnesota laughing,but really how serious is this

 

I think its good. Kubiak has the experience the other coach's are lacking, I think its a great move.

 

No way. He's just getting a better surrounding of generals to get the job done right.

 

Naming an assistant HC is becoming common practice. It does a couple of things..it gives the coach a bump in title, it also blocks another team from interviewing him in the future for basically everything but HC.

 

I'm for keeping Trae Waynes and dumping Xavier Rhodes and Holton Hill can take his place or Mike Hughes cause Rhodes is always getting burned or he's hurt he's not what he used to be for the Vikings

 

Vikings safety Harrison Smith is headed to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl appearance and recently was named by PFWA to the All-NFC team.

It sometimes seems like another day, another recognition for Smith, who consistently is among the NFL’s top safeties. Analytics site Pro Football Focus this week named Smith the league’s most efficient tackler among his position. PFF’s Austin Gayle wrote:

The NFL’s most efficient tackler at the safety position in 2018 was none other than the Minnesota Vikings Harrison Smith, [who missed] just four of his 86 tackle attempts en route to a position-high 21.5 tackling efficiency. He missed just one tackle on his 406 run-defense snaps and three on his 571 snaps against the pass.

 

He's better than i thought always thought he was a pretty good, one of best safeties in the NFL

 

It’s hard to find defenders that can tackle anyone. Good job Smith

 

Now that is a true statement to tackle another football player seems like a lost art!!!!!

 

That pro.bowl skill passing catch with Russell Wilson Adam Thielen showed everybody he's a one of best wr in the NFL,Vikings got an outstanding duo in Diggs and Thielen GO VIKINGS

 

A freekin men!!

 

Vikings' Anthony Barr on FA: 'My possibilities are open'...

For the first time in his career, Anthony Barr will be free to hit the open market.

The Minnesota Vikings linebacker is an impending free agent after spending five seasons with the franchise, and he's looking forward to exploring his value.

"I've been thinking about it," Barr said at the Pro Bowl in Orlando, Fla, per ESPN. "It's been a whole year, two years really, coming, so -- my contract was up last year, had the option, and this year now it's really up so the possibilities I feel like are endless and I could be anywhere. I want to be back, like I've said throughout the last year, but like I've been saying also I know my worth and I know what I've got to do I've got to do it for me".
A four-time Pro Bowler, Barr did not receive an extension from the Vikings ahead of his fifth-year option. The linebacker was passed up for a pay raise as Minnesota instead diverted funds to signing quarterback Kirk Cousins (three years, $84M), wide receiver Stefon Diggs (five, $72M) and fellow linebacker Eric Kendricks (five, $50M).

Barr played in 13 games in 2018, his fewest since his rookie season, recording three sacks and a career-low 55 tackles while dealing with a midseason hamstring injury. Barr was ranked as the 26th best linebacker in the league by Pro Football Focus last season and is considered by NFL Network's Gregg Rosenthal the No. 11 free agent available come mid-March.

Minnesota could tag Barr at the cost of $15 million, a pay raise for the LB from his $12.3 million in 2018 and an unlikely one at that given the Vikings' cap situation, or they could let him walk, instead focusing to re-sign Sheldon Richardson or improve a still-shoddy offensive line.

Barr is fine either way.

"I love Minnesota, but I'm willing to play anywhere that I find fit," Barr told TMZ Sports this week. "If it's comfortable, that I would have a role on the team with and help win. My possibilities are open." (NFL.com)

 

I think he will walk... not sure I want that to happen, but considering the situation, the Vikings could get a plug n play LB for less.

O-line, Minnesota... O-line!

 

I'm not sure either the Vikings have not locked him up, i also think he will walk

 

This is where those 30 million dollar contracts for QBs kills you.

 

WTF Thielen is in the pro bowl I'm very surprised really I am after what i read he did not make the pro bowl it's goofy as heck

 

He wasn’t voted in? Popularity is the pro bowl vote.

 

The 1st pick should be an offensive lineman what do think of Greg Little or Dalton Risner seems like a can't miss pick what do you think?

 

It’s not just the players on oline, the coach makes a big difference too. Munchack turned the crappie Steelers oline into the best in the league. Last season the Steelers had three UFAs starting on the oline and we ended up #1 rated oline in the league according to PFF.
