Lavine with 30 last night. Too bad the team sucks.
Also, I could only stay up for the first quarter of LAL. Kinda sad to see Bron's teammates faded and they lost
I'm going to break down the two of them from my perspective. Try to figure out who's better at what.
1. Better route runner--Thielen. And I only give him this one because he has less trouble with physicality.
2. Better hands--Wash. Each will have a game here and there with a few drops but most...
It's just too bad that TJ Yeldon is so underwhelming between the tackles. He should be good enough to fill in for Fournette. Enough to maintain their offensive system somewhat, at least.
I think they'd be better off if they'd kept Allen Robinson. Out of their current WRs, I think only Westbrook...
Isn't Diggs a top 10 WR, too, at this point? Minnesota has the two best WRs in their division.
You know what, let's be respectful of the other great WRs and widen the field to top 15. I'd say there's no argument that either is outside of the top 15. And both are probably top 10.
That consistency is incredible, because it doesn't matter who covers him. He torches great corners, too. I'm interested to see if Peterson shadows him next Sunday.
I really, really want to see Thielen/Diggs versus Ramsey/Bouye in a Super Bowl.
Key observations (I'll try to address both teams):
Vikings
1. Whatever is wrong with this defense, it's fixable because of talent and depth. I think they're reeling a bit after losing the steadying forces of BRob and Newman. While neither was a great player anymore (BRob really never was, but...
He's not showing up for camp because he's scared of KAT. While I'd love to hear that KAT beat the piss out of him I think he should thank Jimmy for showing him that his girl wasn't worth his time

So this is awful. Hopefully Everson can get the help he needs. This also makes Sunday make sense, imo. If he wasn't allowed back with the team until he underwent an evaluation, his...
