Ford Tough…

Could be worse. Milwaukee Bucks have to use “Nothing Runs Like a Deere”.

To Kwesi’s credit, I think he realized what the rest of the NFL knew at the end of the season, that the Vikings were frauds. By dumping Cook and not extending Cousins, he’s trying to correct that and move on and build a team for the future instead of the present.

Curious to see how he proceeds.

Edited to add: trading Za’Darius Smith

I think he may be regretting that Hock trade now. They kinda went all in to win last year, the problem was the defense was terrible and of course you are going to lose in the playoffs when your defense is that bad. Now you got Jefferson and Hock, who both will require huge money. And Cousins is nearing the end of the line. I think they need to rebuild.

I liked their pick of Hall, thought a shitty D moving on from Eric Kendricks is going to suck even worse this year than last. Adam Thielen cut as well? They are going to be interesting this season.

Cook gone, Thielen gone, Peterson gone, Kendricks gone, Tomlinson gone, and they traded away their best pass rusher Za’Darius Smith for almost nothing in return other than a late round pick swap. Really cleaning house on their vets.

I have no idea what Kwesi is doing. The only thing I can hang my hat on is that he values mediocre players the same way Bob Quinn did. I get that from his interviews. The QB position is the exception. He wants a difference maker there, not Kirk Cousins. Kwesi is smart enough that I can’t discount the idea that he might be assembling his team full of dozens of mediocre players while also positioning himself to get his difference making QB.

I am anxious to see his angle and what happens next.

The Hock trade REALLY looks bad for Kwesi now.

They have had to cut or “trade” several more valuable players….
at more valuable positions!

Considering they had cap issues on the horizon…
trading for Hock and giving up draft capital for a team that had little chance to make a playoff run was nucking futs!!!

Not only that, the GM spent 3 years 21 million on a blocking tight end in free agency, and Hock is going to command likely 15 mill per season. Over $20 mill per season will be invested in tight ends soon. The Lions in comparison have 3 tight ends in Wright, Mitchell and LaPorta making about 1-2 mill each, basically peanuts in comparison.

No doubt that the NFCN is ripe for the taking.

The Lions should be making moves to seize the day.

Perused by a couple Vikings message boards and their fanbase seems to be pretty confident going into the 2023 season.

They’re kind of saying the same things us Lions fans are.

Seem to think they can maintain their top 10 offense and as long as Flores can get their defense to middle of the pack they should be in the playoffs.

Purple Kool-Aid must be really really potent.

Can he create yards on his own still? He now may be merely a Line Cook.
