Sports And Sunshine.

Ok.. Sorry for the lack of posts..

The twins I have nothing but positive things to say.. They are playing as well as they possibly can.. Man they are so much fun to watch..
Give Silva a shot or something maybe it will help him like radke.

I think the vikes showed more of themselves (Thanks Mr. Smith) against the ravens. This team is just like eagles only worse.. The offense does not have a chance at running the ball unless something drastic happens before the opener.. I know they have played Steelers and the ravens but whatever scheme they are using cannot block the 3-4 at all.. But maybe that is just the way this offense has to work.. If you watch Philly it is the same thing they just don't dominate the line of scrimmage.. They don't do anything amazing they just dink dunk and swing down the field a couple yards at a time.. And we don't have anything in our offense that makes you believe they have a deep threat.. Why can't our receivers catch across the middle..This is going to be a long season.. I think we need a new category for stats though YAB yards after boredom. It is like we lull the other team to boredom with a barrage of 2 yard runs and 5 yard dump passes to the tightend and then we hit a guy in the seam and they are so shocked and bored they don't tackle him because they are just sick of it all.. All that being said here are some quick thoughts on the game..

Pat Williams is just playing amazing he is worth watching the game to see him dominating the line of scrimmage.. The Two ends are impressive quick.. This defense could be really fun to watch. This defense is going to smoked a ton but also create a ton of turnovers and be really be fun to watch.. Smoot man I hope you can play that well in the regular season.. Wow they really play a ton of press man..
Scot studwell could play linebacker today as well as that dline is playing.. If they stay healthy this defense should be in the top 15 in the NFL.. Offensively this might be the poorest skilled position players the vikes have ever had.. That right side of the line does not have enough ability to block the back side on runs.. Childress is going to have to scheme around never being able to cut back on any run.. Tjack still playing well.. If this season goes in the toliet start playing this guy and give the fans hope for seasons to come.. We need to draft a running back.. They are really thin on talent and here they have no depth here..

Ok my grades thanks everyone please post yours.. Just drink the Kool Aid and pretend the preseason means anything..
I will start with the most important first yada yada

Oline.. C- We won't win when they play this poorly run blocking. The right side gets d- but the left side is ok.. McKinney looks terrible.
Dline- A they have depth they are keying everything on that defense.. Pat Williams is just unstoppable..
Linebackers - They get a B but they just need to start making some big hits they are not getting blocked at all..
Corners.. A Thank the Dline for this.. You can press you can take chances the QB is constantly under pressure.
D Coaching .A Whatever this tomlin guy is selling these guys are buying and it makes all the difference wait for the Season to start..
QB.. B Johnson is just so solid he makes this job look easy I wish he wasn't old.. McCut is a waste of snaps.. Tjack still getting better
TE.. B+.. They are blocking well they are the best at there position that we have an offense short of Hutchinson.
O Coaching.. C+ This offense is too easy to defend.. They can't run.. They can get the ball across the middle.
WR C.. There offense cannot stretch the defense since they can't catch the ball over the middle or get open deep.. I like Williamson but we need something here.. MR BRANCH maybe but he is too small..
RB.. D- they have shown me 0 in the preseason… I know this is the preseason but these guys have done nothing but get 2yds a carry..
Safeties.. F If they penalize smith they are done.. But they need to penalize him to get the stadium.. Why do we live in a state that wants to punish these guys.. How about the cop who catches these two adults "bobbing for apples" tell them to grow up and get out of there.. No he gives him a ticket.. Nice.. This guy is an idiot I agree but I don't think he deserves a ticket for it whether he is a viking or not we are not in Utah.. I am sure if they had this in Philly the guy would have a ticket…

Overall Grade. B the oline really is weak and I think it is the most important item on any team.. Birk is a shell of himself..


Movies.

Invincible
I went with my family who all love to watch football and talk about it so my review will be jaded.. My kids loved this movie for the Rockyiness of it.. For some reason I just like Mark Wahlberg even though he is a pretty average actor.. If you want a more contemporary rocky movie I would see it.. I am giving this 2.5 to 3 baldies out of 4. Take your boys they will love it.



Litte Miss Sunshine
This movie might crack my Top 10 movies of all time.. I am a little hysterical since I just saw it but I liked everything about this movie..
The writing was amazing the character development was just spot on and made you understand all their weirdness. .. The Acting was just so not overdone but gave you so much more than the words.. I felt for these people I understand what each of them was going through I have pushed my own "van" (have to see the movie) If I had once ounce of writing ability I would dream of writing something this good.. This gets 5 baldies out of 4 since I don't want to rank this movie using my typical rating scale otherwise it would drop the other movies I have seen recently off the charts.. I hope the industry understands that you have to make movies like this to give us all hope that great films still can be made.. Easy D.. we understand you liked this movie..

Eat, it soothes the pain
D out..
