Week 2: Pack Attack

Post by bleedspeed »

We plan on Green Bay this week. This is our first division game and will go a long ways towards determining who wins the division.

Also Vikings are trying to bring back Brett Jones. They never had him clear out his locker. I was kind of surprised he didn't sign somewhere else.

I think there was a couple factors at work.

1. There are a few somewhat decent options available in terms of interior offensive lineman with experience.

2. Isn't there some sort of loophole that if a team lets a vet guy go then signed them back after week one they don't have to have their entire salary guaranteed? I think a few teams didn't want to lock into a decent vet backup if they didn't have to. Jones supposedly took less to come back here in the offseason maybe he just likes it here for some reason.

Not sure on those. I know there was some teams interested in him. It looks like they released TE Brad Dillon.

Dillon back on the PS. The Vikings seem to have known exactly what they were doing. They needed a TE for last week because Conklin was hurt and so they waited to get Brett Jones a week later and it turns out GB didn't want Dillon although lots of people on Twitter said it was so.

That's unfortunate but that's been part of his problem is staying healthy. Will they go after another WR or just add someone else?

Crazy so far. Being down 21-0. You can't abbandon the run this early.

As I type Cook gets a 75 TD run.
