If Joel Myers doesn't know who Toby Gerhart is I'm not surprised that he doesn't know what a reverse is either. Mark V got it right.

Anyway, thanks for the PBP.

I thought Dobbins was supposed to be a good pick up.

Arky · #23 09-01-2011, 08:12 PM

Vikes rush for 5.

Deep pass goes inc. but they're gonna get McCain for PI. 1st and 10 at the Viking 48.

Ponder scrambles for about 10.

Vikes rush for 2.

Pass goes inc., Demps gets a hand on it. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Dump pass over the middle gets 5 or 6 but flag on the play. Penalty against Vikes back 'em up 15. 4th and 17 and Vikings have to punt.

Holiday fair catches at the 11.

Wish they'd play Yates with the second team. Even as a rookie he's better than Leinart and I'd probably feel better going with him if Schaub got hurt.

I'm not sure I would have agreed with you before having seen this half. Whatever it is that separates the guys who are good or could be good from the guys who aren't and never will be is in evidence with regard to Leinart. He is not good and never will be. Yates might not be either for all I know, but I'm with you in wanting to see what he can do with some of the players who might actually play in the NFL one day.

In all fairness that was a nice throw in the face of a blitz. He had to wait for the TE to clear and he hit him is stride.

Arky · #27 09-01-2011, 08:22 PM

No TV access today so, thanks Arky for the PBP. Solid as always.

You don't feel obligated to thank me for the color commentary?

popanot · #31 09-01-2011, 08:39 PM

Man, Slaton's a goner.

Arky · #32 09-01-2011, 08:40 PM

Holiday downs the 2nd half kickoff in the endzone. Texans ball at their 20.

Yates in.

Obie hits the left side for a big gainer but holding on the Texans (Wallace) wipes it out. 1st and 20 coming up.

Pass to Dickerson over the middle gets 15.

Pass to Graham goes for nice gainer. 15 yards? Ball at the Texan 45.

Holiday for 1.

Pass over the middle to Hill goes inc. Makes it 3rd and 9.

Yates has the ball knocked loose as he backs up to pass and Vikings recover at the Texan 42.

chuck · #33 09-01-2011, 08:41 PM

ND doesn't know what a reverse is, either.

chuck · #34 09-01-2011, 08:45 PM

Ideally Reed would be distinguishing himself here.

Arky · #35 09-01-2011, 08:46 PM

Ponder scrambles for about 5, penalty on the Texans for facemask gives the Vikes 15 more. Ball at the Texan 22.

Ponder's pass goes inc. Makes it 3rd and 6.

Dump pass gets about 10, 1st down Vikes at the Texan 6.

Pass in the flat goes for 2. 2nd and goal at the 4.

Robinson runs it in for the TD.

Vikings 14, Texans 0

10:19 left in the 3rd quarter.

popanot · #36 09-01-2011, 08:51 PM

Haven't really been paying much attention to OL or DL, but I'd say Slaton, Demps, Barber and Braman are definite cuts. Slaton hasn't seen the field and Braman hasn't been in in awhile. Demps and Barber just suck.

Think it's pretty clear Dickerson and Johnson make it.

Thanks, Bob.

Arky · #38 09-01-2011, 08:52 PM

Holiday brings the kickoff back to the Texan 27.

Pass to BJ gets about 21.

Obie for about 3.

Big gainer by Obie takes the ball all the way to the Viking 12.

(Apparently penalty on the Texans as the ball is back at their 40 - Manning interview taking place).

Pass goes inc.

Yates gets sacked.

Texans punt on 4th and 27, Vikings return the ball to their 38.

popanot · #39 09-01-2011, 08:56 PM

Pemberton = gone.

[QUOTE=popanot;26168]Slaton hasn't seen the field[QUOTE]

Not that tonight would have saved him, but Slaton was a late scratch.

I don't know who that RT is (Hendrick?), but that guys will be flipping burgers next week. He's BAD....
