Pakeli

You can tell he genuinely loves his players and loves this team. The passion is contagious and I’m all in with Kevin and Kwesi!! SKOL πŸ™Œ

    Isiah Perez

    @PURPLE POCKET PODCAST naw mean?

    PURPLE POCKET PODCAST

    @Isiah Perez exactly bro πŸ’ͺπŸ½πŸ’œπŸ’›πŸ˜‚

    Al Moen

    So let me get this straight just because a person has passion and he likes the players and he loves the players that means that he’s good? Very horrific play calls from the coaching very horrific time management. What’s going to be your excuse when we’re 0 wins and three losses two wins and five losses?

    PURPLE POCKET PODCAST

    @Al Moen I think the play calling was bad too

Biggest thing from him and mike zimmer I noticed after watching this was accountability

    Pα΄€α΄‘Ι΄ Sπœα΄€Κ€π•€ βœ―πŸ‡«β€‹α΄€Ι΄

    @okay cool assumptions… what makes you so certain?

    J Witt

    @Pα΄€α΄‘Ι΄ Sπœα΄€Κ€π•€ βœ―πŸ‡«β€‹α΄€Ι΄ you’re both projecting, there’s not enough information to even think about having this discussion.

    Rob E

    @Pα΄€α΄‘Ι΄ Sπœα΄€Κ€π•€ βœ―πŸ‡«β€‹α΄€Ι΄ I think he’s just being supportive as a coach, and yes it’s taking the heat for them. He said he needed to coach better and call the game better.
    It would be blaming if he singled out players.
    If you watched hard knocks – you would have seen Campbell making the whole tam accountable for Blough’s fumble and Lucas’s drop in their pre-season 1 loss.

    KO will likely be telling them both that they no longer have a job in the next day or two, so why put the boot in?
    They all praised Berry a few days ago, and even after he left – didn’t stop them making the decision.

    Pα΄€α΄‘Ι΄ Sπœα΄€Κ€π•€ βœ―πŸ‡«β€‹α΄€Ι΄

    @Rob E there’s a balance that needs to be established… being overly nice is just as bad as being overly harsh… telling someone they’re better then they really are just sets them up for failure… Kevin needs to find that balance

    Pα΄€α΄‘Ι΄ Sπœα΄€Κ€π•€ βœ―πŸ‡«β€‹α΄€Ι΄

    @Rob E think about how confused mond is probably… his coach keeps praising him of how great he’s doin but yet they bring in another qb and now mond doesn’t know what he actually needs to work on because everyone is telling him he’s already great… i feel bad for mond because he’s being fed lies that’s why he doesn’t look like he’s improving

Kellen did a great job settling his feet πŸ‘ and throwing more accurate passes from the pocket… at least when the OL blocked for a couple seconds. Recievers dropped some excellent passes tonight that killed drives.
I don’t know, obviously, whether they will keep him but I still think he’s got enormous potential that could possibly be unleashed with high quality qb coaching.
Only time will tell… if it doesn’t run out. If we cut him I hope he makes somebody’s practice squad.

    Derek Baker

    I agree. Mond got very few snaps last year & limited coaching, so IMHO it’s not a surprise that he’s not where a lot of people assume he should be. If I am Kwesi A-M/Kevin O’Connell, I would try to keep him around for one more year, and see at this time next year if all the extra coaching has made a difference. If it doesn’t, then (and only then) would be sure that Mond is not ready for prime time with the Vikes.

    Rob E

    @Derek Baker I don’t think I can agree about Mond, Derek. So many other QBs with less experience on worse rosters have looked light years better – Ehlinger, Howell, Ridder, Kyle Allen, Browning, Perkins etc.
    Mond looks like a rookie UDFA too often. I think he is gone like Wyatt, Boyd, and a few other holdovers from the Zimmer regime. I think we might see a clean out of quite a few familiar names on Tuesday.

    SLC Norseman

    I agree as well. At least KO acknowledged the drops. The narrative on Mond would be a lot different if all those catchable balls were caught.

RDAmidwest

It looks like the OL may be getting close to solid.
Can hardly wait for Green Bay; I really don’t care for that team. Especially their prima donna.

    WM

    Ill be watching with a Packer friend down here in WI so I’m hoping for a hood wallop! I respect GB, the Saints are the only team I hate

Tana Chum

Kevin got some secret plays he doesn’t want them to know. Keep it basic in preseason. Got to hit them good for 17 weeks. Losing 3 games of preseason mean we will go over .500 😎

    Rex Rogers

    SKOL!!

    Nomad

    Yeah SKOL! πŸ’ͺ😈

    Cool Pappa Bell

    Yes, this offense was vanilla compared to what he has laid out

AUSSIE VIKE

Preseason Trials there a Win if you get through Injury Free πŸ™„πŸ’œπŸ’›

Skoldier Soup

Dont take it hard KOC. This is preseason. This is the time to make the mistakes. We believe in you and you got this. Unleash this team this year dont hold back and you will win a lot. SKOL πŸ’œπŸ’›

WM

I was pissed we released Berry, but our new punter is a TANK!!

Sean SPO

Hope Besi will be ok. It’s sad to see him get hurt again. Hope he pulls through with nothing major to that knee.

    Jaackk

    This did not age well

Rough Country Outdoors

Could have won if oline wasn’t trying to kill Mond. Seems hard to evaluate a qb when he gets hit almost instantly.

Florence Dahl

It wasn’t your fault the preseason went horrible it will get better in the regular season😎❀πŸ’ͺπŸ’―πŸ‘

Samuel Drazkowski

Wish Bisi the best, sad for him to get hurt again, he was fun to watch in 2020 season when given a chance

D Lindstrom

They should have let Mond play the entire game instead of letting the third string cuts block for him. I think it’s foolish to cut Mond after 3 halves. If we don’t continue his development someone else will. He has some really good throws in the limited time he had. They haven’t even utilized his running ability yet.

    Brinaldi

    Mond is a dime a dozen

    SLC Norseman

    I agree, why are they wasting time with Mannion? At least KO acknowledged the drops, it was a problem last game too, so he knows things could’ve been a lot different for Mond if it wasn’t for the drops.

Nomad

I hope these preseason losses haven’t put out any of KOC’s fire and he stays lit up and comes out swinging in week one with our REAL guys. I still have faith in KOC and these preseason losses don’t mean πŸ’©. SKOL!!! πŸ’ͺ😈

GrimmNastyy

There’s teams with amazing starters and poor depth, and there’s teams with mid starters and excellent depth. We are the former. Let’s hope the injury bug does not hit us too badly this season, or we are in trouble. But our starters are as good as any other team out there.

Nikki Covington

Oh no not again don’t tell me that he going to miss the entire season games again I know that Bisi Johnson made it on the spot to the team but hope it good news for Bisi Johnson be okay? I hope he doesn’t missed entire season games like he did last year. I just hope he plays this year as of the Minnesota Vikings. Is it the same injury? It looks like he never got injured at all in the training camp like what he did last year and he was fine till tonight and it looks like he could get up. Will some of the players that got injured will be okay because I know some got injured in this game mostly on the defense players but one offense player?

Mike Brown did terrific with 7 tackles last night most tackles in one game of his rookie NFL career.

SoTaKnew

I πŸ’œ that he isn’t throwing players under the bus, & takes a lot of self responsibility. πŸ‘ 🫑

Cool Pappa Bell

So dump Manwhich and Mond. Mannion is done and should go to coaching

Al Moen

I really hope this guy and all of his coaches start to coach better because they have been pretty f****** horrific

Pokemon Pulls

Why not have kellen mond do first reps at quarterback if you wanted to win the game??
