Dude, he has been injured. Give the guy a break. He has a serious neck injury. It’s  not his fault the staff has not IR’d him. 

 

Thats a scary injury.

Are you sure? Jerry’s boy has an active roster bonus and prob has a little more pull than he should in terms of remaining on the 53.

I wonder if Stewart might miss a game or two. Never wish injury on any player , but this would actually force the coaches to use our other backs more and see if they are more productive than Stew against a very good Vikings defense. 

Hell I actually want them to give McCaffrey 25 carries just to see what happens. He'd probably get over 100 yards rushing and tack on some receiving too.

Agree completely. Hopefully this will force Rivera’s hand.

To a very tiny degree I keep thinking in the back of my mind, what if we were essentially out of playoff contention right now--would we see McCaffrey carrying the load in the run game to see what he has or would the coaching staff still ride Stew? I really very badly want to see McCaffrey get 20+ carries in a game and be given a chance to develop a rhythm, both running in between the tackles and outside. Right now he's used sparingly as a runner and pretty much mostly on predictable outside runs. We need to see what he can do when he's consistently getting the ball both inside and outside. We've seen tiny glimpses of it, like in the ATL game where he had some really solid production but still just on 13 carries and really never got a chance to get in a groove.

Captain Munnerlyn says he left “millions of dollars” on the table to come back to Carolina from the Vikings.

 

Captain Munnerlyn says he left more money on the table from Vikings to re-sign w Panthers. “But Charlotte was my home.”

Julius Peppers called Mario Addison a "premiere rusher" today, and says he's proud of how far he's come since knowing him as a rookie in Chicago.

 

Julius Peppers: “I don’t think we’ll have two bad games in a row (on defense). The preparation will be there.”

 

Cam on how he can play better against the Vikings this season vs. 2016: “I have to do a better job of getting the ball out of my hands.”

 

Cam on getting Greg Olsen back: “My fingers are still crossed.”

Shouldn’t matter. It’s not Clay’s job to lose. He’s shown nothing as a WR. Byrd should be starting now, period. 

This coaching staff has consistently let talent muster while inferior players get majority of snaps. All i was getting as was Byrd gets more opportunities with Clay out.

Kaelin Clay banged his shoulder on his catch at NO. Didn’t practice today but says “I’ll be alright.”

 

Tyler Larsen says that not practicing today is precautionary. He's not sure how he hurt his foot - "lots of things happen in the pile"

 

Peppers, on Minnesota's o-line - "We stick with what we do. We don't necessarily pay attention to the offensive line. They're somewhat like a gray matter. They're just...there."

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
