This is a no frills forum designed for entertaining discussion about our beloved Vikings. Many of us have been discussing Vikings football together for years/decades, resulting in a camaraderie which we strive to preserve.
We would all like to see it, but it’s not going to happen this season without an injury. The Vikings only Dress 4 RB’s. Cook, Mattison, are 1-2, Kene is the KR and Ham is the only FB.
he was active twice before his injury so they have carried 5 rbs on GameDay before
Thought Ty looked the part back in preseason. He's a lot bigger than people think (6ft 210lbs) and has a path with his 3rd down chops.
These committees only exist to separate the hot hand imo, the cream will rise to the top as the year goes on. I wouldn't be shocked if it's this kid.
Agree. 4.38 speed is damn impressive. Not sure why he didn't see the field much unless the plan was to use up Cook for all he was worth and save wear and tear on the young bucks.

My guess is that Ty gets banged up easily.... so my question is how he can hold up in the NFL on a physicality level.... I'm not saying he's soft or injury prone... but not the best suited guy for running between the tackle in the NFL..... but if KO can get creative and utilize him correctly, I wouldn't be shocked if by the end of this season he's the RB who gets the biggest share of reps among the RBBC members....
To start off, I'm guessing it will probably be:
1. Mattison (60% of reps) 2. Chandler (30% of reps) 3. Nwangwu (10% of reps)
I have my doubts about McBride..... and I think Nwangwu is being overlooked..... I love him in the underdog role..... I could easily see Nwangwu also stepping up and taking on a bigger role with his explosive play ability....

I'm with you on Mcbride. I really don't know why but I think the pro game is gonna be a bit fast for him early on especially and he is gonna make some wrong reads on finding the hole. I honestly didn't think Nwangwu looked bad when he had a couple of rushes last season. He certainly never was really offered a chance though. I'm hoping Chandler looks as good as he did last preseason. I would love to know why he was riding the pines last season with little or no use. It was puzzling.
Ok everyone...... I know Pace Jr has been the big preseason superstar......
BUT...... let's not forget about my boy Ty Chandler....... who has looked great last preseason and now again this preseason......
If he doesn't get a chance in the regular season this year, something is truly wrong...... but I think he will, and I think KO and Co. Are counting on him more than they're letting on..... hence not signing any of the veterans (Davis, Hunt, etc)...... I still think he becomes our starting RB before the end of the regular season..... I can't wait to see how KO (and OC Phillips) utilize Chandler.......

I honestly don't get why they keep bringing in RB's spend your money on the fricken oline or signing Hock and JJ. How many fricken RB's do you need? Hell, we watched how many seasons of Cook knowing he will not be able to get thru a season. Why the panic mode for RB's now?
