What's the current over/under on the number of games before Cassel is taking snaps?

Taking snaps?? I would say by game four or five he should be in there for sure. Gonna take until six or seven before he starts. They are gonna have to go through the whole, "Christian is our guy, blah blah blah" garbage before Cassel gets in there fulltime.

Until they get rid of Ponder they will be a playoff berth team at the very best. You cant have a stud team when the guy touching the ball on every play is the worst player on the field. Good thing Jared Allen doenst play offense, or I couldnt say that.

I guess we will find out if Spielman and Frazier are the real deal if they can part ways with this terrible pick and draft a QB next spring. They should have taken Barkley this year in the late third and used Cassel until Barkley was ready.

It comes down to wins and losses and not his play. Just like when Jackson was playing and stinking it up but the defense was winning games they kept him in. Same thing with Ponder. If they lose 5 of the first 6 and he looks bad they will bench him. If they win 5-6 and he looks bad he stays in.

Maybe I've missed the camp reports that tout Cassell's standout performance... I know that Ponder sucks and that the grass is always greener on the other side, but Cassell doesn't seem to be the savior. He did well with the Patriots in Belichik's pass-happy offense. He's not much different than Matt Flynn in Green Bay's pass-happy offense. Those guys struggle when they don't have great weapons and a high-quality offense surrounding them.

Very true, look at how Cassell did in KC. Not that good. And they had a much better pass catching RB in Charles. And also a good receiver in Bowe. But on the plus side Cassell is better at tossing the long ball so that will give us something we didn't have with Ponder.

According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, WR Jarius Wright is the "most impressive receiver" in Vikings training camp. Wright was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the 4th round of the 2012 NFL Draft and is looking to do more than being a fourth or fifth receiver in the offense. He’s turning heads as the second year receiver is putting pressure on Jerome Simpson and Corradelle Patterson for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.

Receiver's coach, George Stewart, said Wright is a completely different person this year...confident and vocal, a locker room leader, and someone getting ready to make a big splash. Exciting to hear that kind of stuff about such a young player!

How in the hell can you say Allen is worst player??? I'm hoping that was saracasm...I think Ponder will be improved this year, he showed he is very talented last year, half the games...But at least now we have a somewhat competent backup (glad they finally put Webb at a position he should have been at all along). Being the vikes QB should not be hard just give the ball to AP and convert on 3rd down...If needed

Well it started well but was short lived. Hard to tell if it was poor pass, alligator arms on Simpson or timing. Maybe all three. I would have liked to see one more series with starters or even Cassel with the rest of the starters. Ho hum all around. Patterson looked pretty good.

Yep,

Ponder hasn't won anything yet. And that was a short sample size but a 50% interception rate can't help smile But in all seriousness he should have played a quarter it's not like he's "that" good where he doesn't need the practice. Although I don't want to see him play more as the Vikes QB but he should be in long enough at least show what he's got.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
