Turner as OC...

Head Coach Mike Zimmer...

DC expected to be George Edwards...

With a decent QB, they could be trouble.

 

Agreed.  With Norv loving to pound the rock, and them having AP, even a decent QB can get them a fair amount of wins.

 

Zimmer will have the D playing well, but they probably do need a WR that can stretch the field a bit, and some type of pass rusher.

Cordarelle Patterson is pretty good.

I get this its the offseason but i dont give a poo about what other teams are doing. And these dumb posts about wanting a new OC needs to quit. Put it on the offseason news thread. No need to create its own.

 

 

I think that you need to refer to the thread that I just started, and take a long look at the graph.

 

Also, calm the fug down, Norv has very close ties to RR, and is/was the best OC on the market this offseason, and we could certainly use him here.

Is he a good WR yet, or just a crazy athlete?

I didn't get to see many Vike games this season. Either way, rookie WR's normally don't tear it up, but he does have some serious potential.

I think he'll develop into a solid receiver.

Early in his career, our own Steve Smith was criticized for not being the best route runner too.

Who did he develop besides Rivers to some extent and Aikman 2 decades ago.  What he is known for is producing mediocre records and never reaching the Super Bowl despite sometimes having some very talented teams in San Diego.

 

Calm down hoss, I said he was better known as a good OC, not head coach.  And yes, he made his name with Aikman, Smith, and Irvin.  He took over a 14-2 team from Marty S in SD, so downhill was the only way to go there as a HC.

 

OC seems to be his best fit.

Norv is just looking for a pay check these days. He didn't want to work with Rivera last year, so why would he this year?

 

Let me first say that I don't think any of this will happen, nor would I be super excited if Norv did come here.

 

But seriously?  Can you not tell what's different between this year and last year?  How about job security and the chance to coach on a winning team?

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
