Like father like son... Impressive for the rookie. But live action with a quarterback in the backfield _ different story.
Interesting and off topic, Vikings hire Joe Marciano to help with special teams. <<< our trash keeps getting picked up.
I wonder how Hard Knocks will spin it...will they show the rookie as someone to be reckoned with or do they show that the rookie still has a lot of work to do? Or, they can show just show both plays.
After watching Hard Knocks all these years, you can assume they will show the rookie having his way early, but then show Watt taking him to school. Life of an NFL Rookie. Flashing, but not consistent.
I hate to say it, but after seeing ST still suck on Saturday, maybe Marciano wasn't the problem. Maybe our depth is so lacking that the talent level of our special teamers is well below that of other teams. That said, it was only one preseason game.

It's hilarious how the sports media keep crying because Foster won't kiss their ass. Screw em, especially ESPN.
I don't see how <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Quick thought of the moment.

I think it means even though they are improving, they still suck worse than Fitz. Our qb situation is horrible right now.
I just don't think that's true.....it might be what they are trying to sell at the moment, but it's BS IMO.

No, what's hilarious is that "Baby Daddy" Foster cavorts with a woman NOT HIS WIFE, posts numerous selfies of this activity on social media outlets, impregnates said woman and then gets his panties in a bunch when his transgressions get reported by the "media" because he posted them on social media in the first place. Sorry but in my book, anyone that F'ing stupid deserves all of the bad press he gets. As Gil Scott-Heron pointed out: "God will continue to watch out for the the children but the fools will have to learn to fend for themselves." Keep on fending Arian - just try to be the best teammate you can be...
