After what we all witnessed on Sunday, and the fact that Addai is currently watching on TV like you and I...would it be worth resurrecting Addai in the backfield? I mean...he's GOT to be better than Moore? He's had a rough ride since being released by the Colts last spring. Am I alone here?

Addai is not an option. He is not an NFL caliber back anymore. There is a reason he was cut in Indy and NE and has not been picked up by any team - he can no longer play.

At this point in time, Addai isn't any different from any other street back. If the Colts were still running the same offense that Addai ran during his tenure, then he might be a bit more attractive than other backs based on his knowledge of the offense alone. 

 

He had a better shot of getting picked up by Denver when Mcgahee went down a few weeks ago and nothing ever materialized there.   I'm not certain if there is a back on the practice squad or not, but I would rather promote a young player than bringing in Addai or Moore for that matter.

These threads are absolutely hysterical. First off, he has not played all year. Does anyone really think he is in football shape? Secondly, he has absolutely no familiarity with this offense. Why do you think the same guys keep getting brought back? Because they know the offense. Familiarity is far more important than anything else right now. Alvester Alexander will be brought back before they get Addai or anyone else who has no been in the system.

just have to give Ballard the complete work load.

This part I pretty much agree with.

I say pretty much because I think that on some downs, they should bring in someone to spell Ballard. But when we get to the red zone area, you KEEP BALLARD IN THE GAME!

I haven't seen many threads that suggest this, but I think Ballard is looking like the biggest steal of the draft. That guy runs north and south, just slippery enough to avoid a tackle here or there, and pretty much always goes down falling forward, with the ball in his hands. I'd love to see Ballard in Indianapolis for the next 10 years based on what I'm seeing now. Kid should only get better.

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
