Brings a tear to my eye. Look at those guards, look at that right tackle getting to the next level. Look at that running back not dance in the backfield and lose a yard.

It seems we ran more read option yesterday than we had all season.

 

Why were we more successful?  Because we played with pace.  Got to the line of scrimmage quickly.  Gave Cam options to audible to. 

 

Oh... and the O-line wasn't losing double teams and therefore were getting to the second level.

 

We did the things we need to do to run a read option heavy offense successfully

Hell yeah!  Newton selling the read-option and holding the end just long enough, Kalil and Remmers in the second level, Turner and Norwell turning their guys away from the play, Bell getting his hands on a guy less than 6 yards in the backfield.  You can see Olsen, Cotch, and Philly getting good blocks as well.  Great execution.

This could be used as an instructional video for how to properly use the read option. 

 

Tackle and guard blow up the DT and take him out,  that allows Remmers to block next level,  Cam blocks 74 (or is that 94?), Olsen clears out outside guy.

 

Defense never had a chance on this play

Everybody has critcized those 'outrageous' triple options with Cotch in the backfield... Well that was the play on Stewart's TD run. Maybe Shula ain't as bad as we thought when the players are executing... That or the Saints are just THAT bad.

what was KB doing?

 

selling a screen pass so the CB/LB stays to the outside and doesn't get involved in the play.

 

edit, coulda been the LB he was trying to lure, but basically it looks like he's trying to keep 1 defender out of the mix with the fake (no one in particular maybe).

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
