Chris Tabor has done a hell of a job transforming the special teams unit. Glad that Reich decided to retain him (and Campen for that matter).

Give Tepper credit for encouraging their retention by the new staff. Both are outstanding coaches.

With ST I can tell he has a passion for it but he actually flashed more than a couple of times last season at safety. 

So much so that I remember switching from "he's only here due to Rhule's nepotism" to "Damn he's starting to push for starter play". 

I actually forgot about him until I saw that clip. As-is he was starting to put it together. Another offseason like he had last season and he may contribute more than most expect. Although, he's behind on the depth chart I do hear our DC likes to utilize more than a couple safeties sometimes. 

At worst, him and Jammie Robinson should be pretty entertaining to watch on ST coverage together.

That 2nd play was impressive. Need all of our guys to play with that type of heart and we'll be going places sooner rather than later

He did get the flag for throwing the returner to the ground out of bounds which cancelled out the holding call, but I love the energy anyway!

Yeah most everyone on these boards.  I wish we could stick to merit-based evaluations rather than "Rhule's nepo-baby"..."Rhule's wife's favorite player"..."New York Jets reject" (Luvu)...etc.  It must suck to have your reputation be stained by something that you had no control over.

He was one of the first guys we re-signed this offseason. The few times he's come in at safety, he didn't look like an obvious weakness. Good guy to have on the team.

Signing a ST player is like dating an ugly girl. They know they have to try harder if they want to stick around.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I only used it because it’s being said he can’t.  I’ve said this 100 times already but these deep passes people get obsessed with are much more on the WR than the QB. If Burrow throws a bomb to Chase and he is either wide open or makes a catch in tight coverage those both are more WR plays than QB to me.  Bryce has shown many flaws but I don’t think throwing the ball 20 yards to a player in coverage is something he or any NFL QB can’t do. He just gets sloppy under pressure and tries some Mahomes type backfoot throws that do require elite arm strength in which he does not have.

      Again with the straw man arguments. You have Trump level of delusions about this subject.  Here, let me do you in this case.... I don't know if AT fuged your girl or your wife or whatever but your level of hatred towards a guy not even on the team is insane. I can't believe you keep hate watching all these Vikings games as a result. It's crazy behavior but, by all means, you do you.   Now...see how nutty that sounds? Go read this thread and see how emotional you are over something no one in this thread is talking about emotionally.
