  • Tyler Forness of A to Z Sports joins Judd to dissect Sam Darnold's play in the Vikings win over Chicago on Monday night. How did Darnold fix a shaky start to open the offense as the game progressed? An in-depth breakdown of the run game and Aaron Jones' performance over the past couple of games. Plus a chat about Jonathan Greenard and how he fits perfectly into Brian Flores' defense.

    I 100% think part of his inaccuracy early was due to him jamming his finger on a helmet in the beginning of the game.

      Lack of color contrast between the jerseys in the white out background walls and fans made it very difficult for both quarterbacks to easily see their receivers and locate defenders I promise you that's why both QBs seemed more off and missed more than usual

    The middle of the lines for the Vikings will decide how much of a run they make. To me, Risner, Bradbury are ass period. Then cam robinson turns into ass monday night. Not good. Hope Pace’s return helps the run defense cuz, Green Bay, philly are solid running teams.

    My biggest objection to Sam's b-ball push pass was that he should be practicing stuff like that in a gym with a basketball. I think every pro QB should practice every kind of pass, including left-handed. You never know when a learned skill will save a play, which may save a game. Bravo to all-around athletes. Remember when Randall Cunningham punted a ball from the endzone, 70 yards downfield? How irresponsible! What if something went wrong!

    At 15:06 you respond to the question on whether or not KOC is trying to keep Aaron Jones rested before the playoffs and you mostly dismiss the premise. You are probably aware that professional sports teams hire masters degree data scientists to answer exactly these questions. Baseball was the first sport to embrace the idea--where it was easier to apply because each pitch is a discreet event, perfect for collecting statistics. Yet, in football, soccer, basketball, etc... they are applying similar ideas to "pitch count" to minimize injuries. There is no doubt in my mind that Kwesi and KOC have embraced this. Whereas, I agree with Judd's premise that the Dan Campbell school of "full speed ahead always" can catch up to a team, especially late in the season. Yes, in this sport, the team needs to be "tough" but it doesn't do much good if you end up with 18 players on IR.

    I blame that 4th down int on KOC's playcall. He tried to call a haymaker when all he needed was 3 yards to keep the drive alive. He needs to work on his short yardage playcalling. Sam has been caught in several busted plays because every route is long developing when all they need is a few yards.

    • @Young_Star
      @Young_Star หลายเดือนก่อน

      @coreycarter1419 exactly. I know the coverage will be gunning to jump the short routes but KOC can account for that. Send JJ or JA on the long go route, if they get loose and Sam has protection, he has the deep option. If not, it opens up space for the underneath routes. TJ, Oliver, and Mundt are big and skilled enough to box out defenders on a 5yd pass.

    • @beaudroux21

      Do you actually not know who they are? Judd was the lead beat writer for the Vikings for years. Forno is a beat writer and draft guy. I don't think they've ever called themselves experts, but even if they haven't played, you don't have to play football to understand it. That old saying, the best coaches and teachers usually weren't the best players.
