Podcast appearances and mentions of Dru Samia

Una vittoria come quelle che si sognano ogni anno. E l'impossibilità di festeggiarla. Il tendine d'Achille di Kirk Cousins ha fatto crack e così dopo Justin Jefferson i Vikings hanno perso anche il loro quarterback, quest'ultimo per tutta la stagione. E ora? Cosa ci si può aspettare per la seconda metà di stagione? Intanto sul filo della trade deadline il GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah ha scambiato per ottenere Joshua Dobbs dagli Arizona Cardinals, fresco di panchinamento. Non proprio Lamar Jackson. E in aggiunta ha anche regalato ai Jacksonville Jaguars Ezra Cleveland come fosse un Dru Samia. Mosse da "Perché? Perché!". Mentre Brian Flores continua il suo ammaliante lavoro sulla difesa gialloviola, Alessandro, Francesco e Simone si dimenano nel tentare di capire cosa frulla nella testa del front office. Non manca, ovviamente, il "purple rant", affidato a Matteo Bonetto.

Let's turn your Monday Purple. Join Climbing The Pocket's and Daily Norseman's newest live show to get you talking on Mondays.

The guys have a full slate tonight looking back at preseason game 1, the Vikings vs Denver Broncos. Below are their discussion points. What are yours? Here are the official topics tonight: 1. Watered down game plan  2. What we saw from the two QB's 3. Depth issues  4. Punting  5. Who impressed/disappointed  - Mason Cole, Dru Samia, and Kyle Hinton were the highest graded lineman.  - No pressures recorded by the backups, Patrick Jones led the team with 3 stops.  - Ihmir Smith-Marsette targeted 6 times only one traveled more than 10 yards I believe.

With the Minnesota Vikings offensive line still including Dakota Dozier, Dru Samia and Oli Udoh and the quarterback room impacted by COVID, should we start panicking over the Vikings?!; (12:30) Comments from YouTube on quarterback perceptions on Kirk Cousins, Tom Brady and Bakey Mayfield and more!

Wait til you hear about our NFL ring ceremony concept...Jonah is back in from his Fresh year of college and contributes in a big way. Maria can best be described as mildly bemused and tolerant as the guys propose the following:1) What would you do if you had the Stanley Cup for a day?2) A total reimagining of the NFL Super Bowl ring ceremony. What if NFL Super Bowl rings were turned over every year like the Stanley Cup? 50 yard line, previous winners line up across from new winners and (Benny Hill theme starts playing) each player has to find another one to wear his ring.Would there be Red Carpet event fan overlap for the Super Bowl if there was a week long leadup with players discussing the rings, their potential outfits for the ceremony and who their potential targets might be?If this sounds to you like it might be a terrible idea, maybe you need to ask yourself this question: “If Elvis Grbac, 1994 Michigan Wolverines starting QB, thinks its a great idea...is it possible that maybe I’m the one missing the point?”*If you are an NFL athlete or know an NFL athlete, please explain to us why or how you think this will be successful and who to contact to make it work.*To date, Elvis Grbac is definitely unaware of this idea and may or may not think it’s a good idea.Please visit us at https://thetragedyacademy.com On social media, you can find us at @thetragedyacademypodcast on Instagram, The Tragedy Academy Podcast on Facebook, and @tragedy_academy on Twitter.  Don't forget to subscribe, download, rate, and review! (39:50) Superbowl ring exchange proposal.(38:05) Stanley Cup lightning rod hat viral video. #nfl #football #sports #nba #nfldraft #nflnews #superbowl #nflfootball #life #mlb #espn #nflmemes #americanfootball #madden #touchdown #afc #nfc #comedian #laugh #rogan #bertkreischer #pattonoswalt #offensive #chrisrock #chappelle #equality #collegefootball #fantasy #roto #fantasyfootball #redcarpet #fashion #comedy #funny #hilarious #ridiculous #timanderic #joke #standup #lol #nfl #football #sports #nhl #stanleycup

Breaking down the Colts matchup and tossing in some spicy takes. The Vikings are losing Pat Elflein to IR for 3 weeks at least. That likely means Dru Samia is getting thrown in, but if they don't want to do that there are a couple of alternatives with Brett Jones or Aviante Collins.

 This is the second part of the episode of Climbing The Pocket Quick Shots, Jayson Brown sits down with two of the Climbing The Pocket Network’s film watching experts to talk Minnesota Vikings O-Line improvement. Tyler Forness and Matt Fries look in-depth at the skills and possibilities of all the offensive linemen that the Vikings acquired after taking Ezra Cleveland, like Blake Brandel from Oregon State, Kyle Hinton from the football power house of Washburn, and Brady Aiello from Oregon, their all purpose lineman.  There are also the players still on the team that didn’t start last season like Dru Samia, Oli Udoh and Aviante Collins that figure into the new look of the line because we know there is at least one player at right guard, and at left, Pat Elflein will have to show a miraculous improvement to stay in the LG spot. Cleveland could start, Riley Reiff could move over, Garrett Bradbury and Brian O’Neill locked into their spots and a wide open competition at RG. Who will win it? Who will make the squad to back them up?   Those are questions we are all looking forward to seeing answers on. Rick Spielman has been working over the last few years to improve the offensive line. His success rate over Mike Zimmer’s tenure has been questionable at times, but Gary Kubiak and Mike Dennison are on the staff, the 2020 draft in the books, and things are looking up.

Good morning Horners! We have the Vikings versus Seahawks game reaction and recap on this episode of “GMG In The Raw.” You can watch and listen to how Ted Glover, Drew Bunting, and Dave Stefano react immediately following the game. Dave even took copious notes blowing Drew's mind away in the process. Kirk Cousins was showing some mobility, a good thing. We like that! We wanted to see a better running game, better run defense and see fewer wide receivers being open against that defense. These things were still there and we wondered could it be because the Minnesota Vikings were running their base, or bland defense, stuck in a simple zone scheme, could it be because Linval Joseph and Shamar Stephen weren’t playing, or just that it's the preseason and head coach Mike Zimmer doesn't want to show anything? Drew noted that when the second team defense comes in, they show more fire and that the level of excitement goes up in the stadium. “Their energy jumps.” Ifeadi Odenigbo did an outstanding job all night. Cameron Smith blitzed but whiffed on the sack. The scariest point of the evening came on the offense when Alexander Mattison had his leg bent in a very awkward position. All of us thought with Vikings fan dread, that he was going to be injured on that play, but he got back up and continue to play just fine. We've noted how he seems to get stronger as the game goes on. Oh, and what a night Boone had! We felt he secured the RB3 spot with that performance, and Zimmer liked his special teams play even more. Kyle Sloter had a very good game. We discussed why he should relieve Kirk Cousins as the QB2 in this week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Both Dave and Drew were adamant that he earned that look, but Ted wasn't as convinced. He still thinks that Sean Mannion did nothing to lose his QB2 status. Yes, he threw the pick 6, but he drove down the field and scored on the next series. We are all to use to the team laying down after something as adverse as of miss-ran route that results in a pick and causing a huge swing in the scoring. After seeing the game Dave doesn’t think Sloter’s status has to do with the games. It has to do with practices and what support he brings to the rest of the QBs in the support role. He may be too inexperienced to see and help, at least in Zimmer’s mind. You'll have to listen to catch the rest of the GMG impressions on players like Kaare Vedvik, Dan Bailey, Matt Wile, Brandon Zylstra, and Dru Samia. Lastly, the guys think Dave should die his beard purple for week one. Should he? Like, subscribe, and rate us on your favorite podcast aggregator.

Good morning Horners! Every once in a while, we open the show to listener questions, and today on GMG we do just that. We open the show talking about Minnesota Vikings running back Khari Blasingame. "Who?" You will have to listen to find out. 1. The greatest playoff game in Vikings history. Was it the Minneapolis Miracle, or was it in 1987 against the San Francisco 49ers? 2. Michael asks us who will emerge as the offensive team leader and can it be Garrett Bradbury? 3. Daily Norseman’s own, Just_Rob asks will Dru Samia compete for the starting job and who will be the surprise veteran cut? 4. What if there is a surprise trade? The guys here dream of Trent Williams who is very disappointed with the Redskins. 5. We return with Just_Rob asking if Kyle Sloter is undiscovered GOAT and is the Sloter-mania real? 6. The great Manbear Pigg asks if Chad Beebe or Brandon Lylstra be able to take the WR3 slot? A great discussion ensues including Jordan Taylor, Dillon Mitchell, and previous WR3s Jarius Wright and Aldrich Robinson. 7. Ryno asks who's going to step up and be the 3T defensive tackle? Shamar Stephen comes to the top of the list, but also discussed was Jaleel Johnson, Jalyn Holmes, and even Hercules Matta’afa. 8. The kind and wonderful Mary asks us which 3 rookies are we most excited to watch. Ted, Drew and Dave give their answers. We end the show with a couple of Ted stories about how he was recruited to play college ball, and they include a great Don Glover quote. This and many other things in the show will have you laughing loudly, so listen at work and drive your fellow employees nuts, or listen wherever you feel free to bust up laughing.

Good morning Horners! We thought we put out a special episode today, partly to commemorate 50 years ago, and mainly to discuss that rookies report to camp on Monday. 50 years ago today Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon, also 50 years ago the Vikings entered season in which they won the NFL championship. We are going to start hearing and reading stories about the young crop of rookies, that report to camp Monday and will hopefully yield even better results than the team 50 years ago. Ed Brodmarkle of the Skoldiers Podcast joined Dave and Ted on this happy adventure. Discussions ensued over what stories do we expect to see in what Ted calls, "propaganda week?". There will be stories of course over our early draft choices, like how Garrett Bradbury is the second coming of Mick Tinglhoff, Irv Smith Jr and Alexander Mattison should make a difference, along with Dru Samia maybe winning the starting job from Josh Kline similar to how Brian O'Neill did last year, and never giving it back up. We talked about some of the rookie performances we expect, how after a summer of digesting the playbook, they hopefully wouldn't have lost much knowledge, and how having the pads on should help. We ended the show talking again about that 1969 Minnesota Vikings team, and how Joe Kapp was the villain in Super Bowl III. Ted told us of how his dad, Mr. Don Glover, had a theory that after watching the best football team and season ever played, that Joe, fighting with the Vikings over a salary and contract dispute, may have thrown the game. We all miss Don Glover, and I can just imagine him now railing as he told the story.
