CTP Mondays - Accountability
Click here for our latest You Tube video!
It’s Monday and your Minnesota Vikings are coming off yet another mind-numbing and insane loss. In the Sunday night game, they hosted the Dallas Cowboys. Dak Prescott didn’t play, and per Xavier Woods, the Vikings didn’t prepare for Cooper Rush [not that there was a lot of tape on him]. They figured that he would be running the same offense. Really? The Vikings started hot on their scripted first drive, and then as Klint Kubiak has demonstrated, play-calling after that alludes him, and the team couldn’t put any consistent long drives together. Kirk Cousins looked to be seeing ghost pressuring him, and after that first good long throw to Conklin on that first drive, again turned into check-down Charlie. Out of 35 passing attempts, 22 of those were less than 5 yards. …And half, 11, were behind the line of scrimmage. Wow! How can you get first downs if you don’t throw beyond the sticks? PFF has him ranked as the 5th ranked QB in the league, yet he has the 3rd worst EPA. The translation is that he is good at throwing nonproductive, as in point-producing, plays. Game time management reared its ugly head once again. You would think Mike Zimmer would figure this out by now, or at least hire someone that does. But has he? Nope. More and critical injuries hit on top of all of that. Bashaud Breeland went out, and worse of all Danielle Hunter was lost for the season. This feels like the start of the end of the season for Minnesota, so we can start this now, and move into looking forward depending on how the team does in the next few games. Those games will be easy, right? On the road to meet Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens, then flying to the other side of the country to battle Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers, only to wing back to US Bank Stadium to have Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers try to ruin another Sunday. Accountability is needed and should come sooner rather than later. Not to worry though… Tyler and Deshawn will be here to turn your Mondays Purple! Other talking points for tonight’s show: • - What is salvageable? • - What’s next? • - What is the outlook on the rest of the season? Fan with us!!! Tyler Forness @TheRealForno, and Deshawn Vaughan @vikingsfans16.
