Brockel to IR


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

After reading that article today breaking down our run game, it seems like we use running threats who can block and not blocking backs who can run...if that makes sense.

Lee Ward might not actually fit unless he were to show he could run well enough for defenders to account for him as a runner legitimately.

He apparently didn't in camp. But I could easily be wrong.

Brockel needed to go to IR. Taking up a roster spot for zero production. Could never fully understand the love for this guy with the organization. Besides ST play didn't see much production. Played a handfull of games since 2013. Give the kid a chance.

All due respect guys... Ward might have looked good in camp but he didn't really show anything special in the preseason games.  Neither did Damiere Byrd, honestly.

I'd be fine with the kid getting another shot but let's be real.  No one else saw anything that made them crazy to pick him up either.

    • 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. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
