He and McCarthy both can't adjust their schemes to suit his players. Last year when he was talking about "we have to beat our 1-on-1s" I nearly blew my own head off.

He;s bad but the personnel there is also just better up front in general besides Big Mike D. Though Kenny Clark is a very bright spot in this defense. Also Damarious Randall man, props for taking a benching embarrassment and turning in a pretty solid few performances. Proud for him.

Whispers of Bradford to IR and Teddy B coming back? I could gently caress with a Teddy-lead Vikings team doing well. He's impossible to not love.

I remember when they signed Pep and Capers was talking about how he'd been playing out of position his whole career and he was actually a natural 3-4 OLB

Capers insists on sticking to a 3-4 despite rarely ever having enough LB depth to make it work.

i thought it’d be this week but Case is starting again. If the Vikings aren’t waiting for Case to turn into a pumpkin, I would think either vs the Rams (first home game) or against the Lions (take advantage of a fresher QB on a short week).

the best place for teddy to start would be against the falcons or Lions. Case is currently doing okay so why not ride it out for a bit and give Teddy some practice with the team.

WHOOPS
Nov 6, 2009
he’s been practicing the last three weeks and a part of team meetings and game planning all season. all the primary receivers are also guys he’s played with before. at this point, the main question is about game day rust and performance. the vikings would be better served to get him on the field sooner rather than later.

Basically this - HASAN: Start Teddy Bridgewater

quote:

I asked Derrik Klassen, a quarterback analyst for Football Outsiders, about this debate. His response was forceful. “If he is truly healthy enough to play, he should,” stated Klassen. “The Vikings sit atop the NFC North and beating Washington would likely secure the division, barring a disaster. A healthy Bridgewater, even if not quite as good as he was before injury, is better than Keenum. Bridgewater can better take advantage of Minnesota’s weapons and transition this offense from good to great.”

The biggest reason that Klassen cited for Bridgewater’s superiority was his ability to create better ball placement for receivers, creating yards-after-catch (YAC) opportunities. “Teddy [Bridgewater] will more consistently create YAC. Keenum forces tough catches; Bridgewater will keep players in stride. I also trust Bridgewater to protect the ball better. Keenum usually does that fine for his first few games, then unravels, and we have seen that in Minnesota recently, just like last year in Los Angeles.”

quote:

There’s an argument that Bridgewater didn’t throw many touchdowns in his 2015 season, and therefore he’s not particularly special, but that’s not a particularly complete argument; Keenum has thrown a touchdown on 3.0 percent of his passes, while Bridgewater threw a touchdown on 3.3 percent of his.

In fact, Bridgewater threw with a higher yards per attempt in 2015 than Keenum has this year, and with higher adjusted yards per attempt.

All of this is with a significantly worse offensive line — one that ranked dead last in advanced pass protection statistics, standard pass protection statistics and contemporary film-oriented lists — and a receiving corps that cycled through Mike Wallace and Charles Johnson before settling on a less-developed Thielen.

Emphasis mine.
