Max Bredeson just hopped on an interview with the media, and J.J. McCarthy was in the background hollering: "Let's go!"
English
@MatthewColler Yeah, but doesn’t value matter? Picking the 370th player on the consensus board in the 5th round seems like a waste of an asset. Watch Philly and Baltimore operate
English
I will say... the consensus board, 100000 mocks, access to a million film studies and endless data... it's all amazing. But it also does kill the draft fun a little when the team takes a cool player and everyone goes BUT THE CONSENSUS BOOOOAAAARRRRD
English
It's true. At the same time, the historical data is pretty clear that going against the consensus is risky.
You can't justify every pick that goes against historical data by saying "but he's a great fit!"
If that worked, the data wouldn't show what it shows
Sigmund Bloom@SigmundBloom
Folks is shook because this draft is making every team draft like Bill Belichick Consensus boards are for a theoretical team that has no particular culture/ethos/scheme/philosophy These teams are drafting for a specific culture, etc so their boards are very different
English
@PhilMackey All of these fascinating picks are terrible values. He would 100% be available at pick 233
English
FASCINATING pick here.
Awesome run blocker + awesome in pass pro at Michigan.
With Frank Smith on staff (former Dolphins OC -- who loved running 21 and 22 personnel), I could see Bredeson getting snaps as a rookie.
Minnesota Vikings@Vikings
Fullback love 💜 @BredesonMax

@thorku This might be the worst value draft in the history of football
English
Vikings were all over CB Charles Demmings in the pre-draft process.
•6’1/195 with length
•9.1 RAS
•Super physical
•Good tackler
•Ball skills — 31 passes defended, 8 INT L3Y

@thorku Is 100% of your entire existence trying to defend your opinion of JJ McCarthy?
If Darnold was on the Vikings next year, they would be Super Bowl favorites…period
English
I was wrong about Sam Darnold.
In my defense, so were the Vikings.
It feels telling that Darnold is going to the Super Bowl in Year 1 with McDonald/Seahawks when he didn’t come close to getting out of R1 with KOC/Vikings last year.
Vikings’ issues extend beyond the QB position
English
Watch Brian O’Neill on the play McCarthy gets injured. I’m sick.

BRIAN BURNS STRIP SACK TURNS INTO GIANTS TD MINvsNYG on FOX/FOX One watch.nfl.com
English
@thorku Are you incapable of saying “man, I loved that kid in college, but not sure anymore”. I know you have clicks to attract but you look like a ridiculous asshole
English
Would be such a shame if that’s the last we see of McCarthy this season.
He was balling the last three weeks.
English
@thorku Man, if JJ only had less dropped balls and the refs didn’t suck, and the O-line was better, and KOC would be a better play caller…he would be top 20
English
Per PFF live grading at the 1H 2-min warning...
JJ McCarthy has a 91.7% adjusted completion percentage... and a 27.3% drop percentage on catchable targets
English
@PhilMackey Another unlucky turnover by the most unlucky future hall of famer of all time…just stop the propaganda
English
@PhilMackey Totally disagree…he had a pick 6 pulled off the board and throws uncatchable balls…I remember when we all sat around making Christian Ponder the most unlucky human of all time…until we all just agreed that he sucked
English
The box score doesn't accurately reflect how largely exceptional JJ McCarthy has been in this first half
English
@PhilMackey So explain why every week we talk about how unlucky this kid is..it is exhausting
English
@thorku JJ is on pace for his second career 200 yard passing game…you must be so proud
English
You can tell that Jonathan Vilma did zero homework before calling this game.
Brain rot, old narratives, and cliches.
English
@thorku sooo; can we now cancel out all the drops of the missiles he throws since there was a phantom offsides on a pick 6?
English
@thorku Now, no matter what happens the rest of the game you will have your content for the next week
English
By my count, that’s the third drop this quarter.
One was a touchdown.
This one deflects right into a defender’s hands.
🤷♂️
English
@thorku I did…160 yards..impressive. Ben Simms had a bigger impact than Jettas
English
@Dopp16 You should watch his seventh career start. A replay should be available.
English
I got a big kick out of this interaction in the replies of a long post about personnel usage.
Phil Mackey 🎙@PhilMackey
Kevin O'Connell always has a pained expression when talking about "simplifying" his system. I think he hates doing it. But some of the changes KOC made on Sunday were incredibly effective -- and, I would argue, should carry forward! Get this... According to @SumerSports, 32 NFL teams have run a total of 334 personnel packages offensively. When the Vikings run "11" personnel (3 WR), they rank *333rd out of 334* in offensive Expected Points Added (-79). To put it simply... When the Vikings run "11" personnel sets (which is KOC's preferred grouping), they are one of the absolute worst offenses in the NFL. To make things worse, the Vikings stubbornly run "11" personnel on over 70% of offensive snaps! Until Sunday... when Kevin O'Connell instead elected to use heavier personnel packages on 51% of offensive snaps! 5 plays in “13” (1 RB, 3 TEs, 1 WR) -- after running only 10 all year 12 plays in “12” personnel (1 RB, 2 TEs, 2 WR) 9 plays in “22” personnel (2 RB, 2 TE, 1 WR) 7 plays in “21” personnel (2 RB, 1 TE, 2 WR) And only 49% of plays in the aforementioned “11” personnel. The result? A 31-0 beat-down victory. Yes, against a bad defense. But still, progress. Great coaches adapt. KOC has shown a disdain for adapting his system and personnel packages. Maybe Sunday's result will change things.
English
@thorku I really want to listen to your new podcast because I really enjoy your analysis…but when the first week of podcast titles is about McCarthy, I can’t even press play…admit your mistakes and move on, otherwise your credibility is squashed
English
Especially NFL Draft.
So many guys in that industry are grinders. Long hours pouring over the same tape, numbers, info, etc.
But they can project something totally different from it than me.
If it’s a smart person with a perspective that has put the time in, I’m interested.
