Small Ball Retard December 17,
2023
Either Kevin O'Connell is playing his team to a script or he's a Small Ball
Retard. He's got one of the most prolific offensives in the league at his
fingertips where instead he reaches into his bag small ball losers. Are
you kidding me???
Look around gentlemen ... you are not the Philadelphia Eagles. We realize
that this is a copy cat league. Jalen Hurts is a very athletic 6'-1"
at 223# whereas Nick Mullens is a 6'-0" 210# blob of shit by
comparison ... no offense ... but you're no Robert Griffin III or Michael
Vick. Two (2) times consecutively we ran 5'-8" at 181# (generously)
Brandon Powel behind this blob for no gain. Are you kidding me??? No
offense to Brandon Powel but does someone need to have his head examined.
By comparison, Joshua Dobbs is again a very athletic 6'-3" at 220# however,
he was buried as "NON-USABLE" on your emergency quarterback depth
chart. Take one of this franchises most dynamic players that shocked the
world & bury him into obscurity. Once again, Kevin O'Connell's
decision in regard to our back up quarterback bit us squarely in the ass.
Let me state this so that you can understand this clearly. Maybe this
years #1 NFC team in 2023 isn't the Philadelphia Eagles, nor is it the 49ers,
which we beat outright. It is arguably the Dallas Cowboys and there is
only 1 person on this Vikings squad that destroyed the Cowboys. Of course
that was Joshua Dobbs where this one fact alone might help to explain why he's
roster-ed on this Vikings squad today. To be direct, we've made a horrible
mistake in benching Dobbs.
We've seen Nick Mullens lose twice. In his first start he was ineffective
versus the Packers & in yesterdays outing he was a very poor mans version of
Kirk Cousins. Sure he knows the playbook & sure he can find the open
man but that's combined with a substandard set of athletic NFL skills. You
could say that the defense lost yesterdays game being up by 14 points but you'd
be wrong. Sure they had their role in the loss but early on that defense shown
out Bristol.
We're up 7-3 at the 4:06 mark in the 2nd quarter with the ball on the Bengal's
15 yard line. Mullens throws an interception at the goal line. Coach
O'Connell this is less than stellar & should stacked up with your evaluation
of Dobbs. That wasn't a stellar play made by a DB nor was it one of those
tipped balls. It was a mangled mess. Then at the 33 second mark,
from the red zone, old boulders for shoes takes a sack because he's not
athletically mobile. We're still OK. We're still well within field
goal range, you know the margin of yesterdays victory in regulation, where old
granite feet takes another sack & tosses the ball right into the hands of
that same defensive lineman. Mullens is not better than Dobbs ... he's a
nightmare by comparison ... and there is now no substantiation for his play.
Now it wasn't all bad yesterday, as both Addison & Ty Chandler had
outstanding outings. I'd like to acknowledge Coach O'Connell's decision to
both play & incorporate Ty however it was attrition that made that call ...
not his brilliance. Chandler succeeded because he not only has speed ...
he also has a rare combination of balance combined with his ability to slash
that makes defenders miss. The result was a shredding that hasn't occurred
all season long.
Now we find ourselves at Coach Kevin O'Connell's pivot point. Never in his
tenor with this Vikings franchise will he have ever amassed the coaching, the
players & the where with all to be able to CHANGE THE GAME in a historic
fashion. May I remind you of all those free agents that are about to get
serious paydays where there is no way that this franchise can pay all of
them. That's a good thing, as all that hard work & determination will
result in enumeration for all those individuals but this will change our roster
irrevocably & not in a good way ... especially if this hand is played out
without a clear & concise effort to CHANGING THE GAME. Sure, you can
look at the upcoming playoffs & think to yourself that there is no way that
we can compete for this leagues biggest prize without Kirk Cousins ... thinking
"WOE IS ME" but considered this leagues history of NFL champions being
led by back up quarterbacks ... not those highly paid starters. In other words,
what it comes down to ... really ... is a choice.
Jaren Hall, no matter what he might actually be capable of, doesn't have the NFL
experience to lead anybody or anything into the playoffs. Which leaves you
with two (2) options. It doesn't matter how well Nick Mullens played or
what he did last Sunday, he doesn't not posses the spark or the athletic skill
to lead this team deep into the playoffs. In other words, you have to face
the fact that Nick Mullens was brought here to back up our starter ... whomever
that might be. Starting Mullens is akin to giving up on this team ... and
that my friends ... expresses the turning point for our head coach Kevin
O'Connell & his tenor within this franchise. Go forward with Mullens
as your starter & your primary resource for getting this thing done ... and
for this franchise it is over. Does this mean that Mullens isn't still a
big part of this thing. No, however his role has been well designed in a
supporting role ... which fit his mindset, his attitude & how he carries
himself ... to a tee. In this regard, Kevin O'Connell was brilliant.
Can Mullens help us bail out this franchise when Dobbs becomes overwhelmed ...
well the answer is that he did it once ... he'll do it again & again.
In other words coach, you have already lost & until you make the decision to
CHANGE THE GAME ... everything will be sealed for eternity.
So, you might be asking why might this be true? It is because Nick Mullens
doesn't scare anyone. He doesn't scare the Lions. He doesn't scare
the Packers. He doesn't scare anyone that is invested in the NFL. So
who might it be that has the entire Detroit Lion fan base ... shitting their
pants? What might it be that has every playoff bound team shitting their
pants?
Well, I'm glad that you asked. It's the BOSS WILDCARD. That card
isn't Hall & it is certainly not Mullens.
Could it be that Dobbs hates your guts? Well, if you were in his position,
over & over again, how would you feel about it. The question here is
are you or are you not the most brilliant offensive mind in football ... and
what will you do to CHANGE THE GAME. When Tony Dungy spoke on Randy Moss's
dropping his pants in Green Bays end zone, before he made that infamous
statement, everyone & I mean everyone was in disgust & in agreement with
Joe Buck's assessment. When Tony Dungy explained how he thought it was comical,
spitting back at the chance of all those Packers families doing it to our team
bus ... people got the message. Now it is the Hall of Famer Kurt Warner
voicing outward that Kevin O'Connell was just wrong in his assessment of Dobbs.
As it turns out, Warner was right.
So how does it begin? It begins by O'Connell speaking directly with
Dobbs. It starts with the words that I was completely wrong in his assessment
of Dobbs. It begins with switching the focus from Mullens &
Dobbs directly onto himself ... like what would Buddy Ryan do. It is to
change the focus upon himself where the press immediately calls for his
resignation with the head lines that this team is in complete disarray &
that the head coach is absolutely nuts. That's right BULL GOOSE LOONEY
NUTS!
At the very least, maybe they'll stop calling Joshua Dobbs the
PASSTRONAUT! He's just a freakishly gifted athlete that on an incredibly
steep learning curve.,
Which brings us to Justin Jefferson, who like Addison, is not happy that the
ball is being thrown down the field to pad their stats. Well, that shit is
over now. Firstly, do you think that Dobbs is not capable of making that
down the field throw ... well maybe not as accurately as Kirk Cousins ... but
he's proven that he's certainly not very far from that ability registering a
quarterback rating above 100 in two games. What I can tell you is that
Dobbs has learned a very hard lesson ... for his benefit ... and he's not going
to make that same mistake again ... if given the chance.
Our players ... all players ... are afraid. They know the politically
correct statements to make so there not going to give you the answer that you
are looking to get. The primary question being, "If we go ahead with
Mullens ... is our season over?" The fan base knows, as there hasn't
been that spark ... Mullens is not nor will he ever be JOE-KAPP-LIKE ... He's
was just a winner.
What is required, and what is required to change the destiny of Kevin O'Connell
& the destiny of this franchise is leadership. Nothing
fancy.
Gentlemen, there is no ill feelings toward the accomplishments of this franchise
... as I'm just a simple man. I need to drastically CHANGE THE GAME ... to
change the outcome of this season. You all might disagree with my assessments
but I've not here to play it safe, nor am I here to play it like everyone
else. I'm here to win an NFL championship. To do so, I've got to
find a way to make that happen. Josh Dobbs will be are starter for the
remainder of the season & Nick Mullens will be in support of everything that
we do. We are going to use both of them in any way that will secure
victory on that field. Now, what I expect from you ... is nothing less
than everything that you got. And one more thing ... Ty Chandler has
earned his opportunity to spark this team. Gentlemen ... let's get this
thing done.
Gentlemen, we are going
to revive this Phoenix ... Allow it to once again rise from the ashes and we are
going to CHANGE THE GAME. God ... somehow made this thing happen ... and
we are going to not only recognize it for what it really is ... we are going to
see it through.
