This is the leagues best backfield circa 2021β¦ but I love the pick up, just Kwesi completing his off season collection
I turned this video on to my kids and now they are laughing so loudly that the neighbors came over to see what happenedπ§‘
Ty chandler relegated to kick returns
Figured that they would address RB.
Now the big splash at Center to replace the slim reacher.
Great now go steal D-Law
If i should find a reason for this.. he knows the offense
Can easily be plugged in BUT.. if he gets hurt..dont come and say we didnt had a warning..
I wouldve liked other options insted.. probably wouldve costed us more but trading for the same player two years in a row is strange.. from what over seen we didnt gave up much
A swap of conditional 2026 late round picks our 6.th for their 7.th.. not really much and but still the injury concern.. but might learn the offense fast
Kwesi is only warming up
Insert Grandpa Simpson entering turning around and leaving meme
Can we get some insight on how that physical was failed earlier this year? Do I remember that wrong?
We couldnβt do better than Cam Akers
All in, my ass!
I love it!!! Akers knows the offense, solid player who can play right away!
Now protect Sam
What a joke, they should have just kept him in the first place.
Lets go my fantasy team is all vikings
We must got some on the Texans why they always trade with us π€£π€£
I agree…a great move by Kwesi A-M, and hopefully there will be more before the deadline. FWIW, I happen to think that Chandler's stats so far have been much more of a function of play-calling & execution by the O-line/TEs. Nevertheless, Akers a good insurance policy re Jones AND Akers will enable KOC to use the 'running game by committee' approach to keep everyone fresh. Furthemore, Akers is a good receiver like Jones & is dangerous in open space, and here's why that matters most: While Chandler has been a good receiver, it appears to me that defences do not fear that part of Chandler's game as much as Jones, and I have noticed that defences become more committed to stopping the run & doubling Vikes WRs when Chandler is in. That affects KOC's options, so, with Akers in there, the Vikes offence will continue to 'be multiple' & force DCs to deal with an impossible number of threats from Darnold, JJ, et al.
Tony Pollard would have been nice.
Perfect pick up love Cam Akers physical run style. SKOLβΌοΈ
I like it!
Doesn't make any sense why trade for him AGAIN especially when he decided to sign with Houston π
Meh!
DALVIN Cook would not have cost any picks much better fit
Pennywise pound foolish…the Packers Ravens and Eagles went out and got the talent we got two injury prone backs and wasted two picks in two years on the same guy.
Why do you say trading for a guy twice in two seasons is hilarious?
So he trade for the guys that didn't want to stay when he had the chance to stay?
I like this trade, Akers looked good last year before he got hurt. Now he's back with the team, our RB chart is a bit deeper.
Sweet.
