Congratulations, Cam. It’s not every day an NFL team tweets out a video of its starting quarterback being intercepted by a rookie third-round draft pick. Especially when that quarterback is of the franchise-caliber ilk and getting $40 million guaranteed this season. “No, I didn’t see [the tweet],” Cousins said. “But he made an outstanding play. Really, the entire defensive backfield has played well. … They’ve just had good discipline and been really sticky in [coverage].” Called “The Needle” because, well, he looks like one at 6-2 and 188 pounds, Dantzler undercut Johnson’s route and then showed off his vertical prowess to go “Up! Up! Up!” as the team’s tweet touted. The Purple-paid tweeters put an exclamation on things by adding Dantzler’s Twitter handle, @camdantzler3, followed by two domineering emoji faces that had steam coming out of their noses. Cousins might have had steam coming from his ears by then. The Needle had just popped him — sorry — for a second time in the first two days in full pads. The interception came last Tuesday. A day earlier, Dantzler made an even more impressive play that caused receiver Adam Thielen to tell coach Mike Zimmer, “27 is gonna be really good!” A week later, Dantzler took the majority of Monday’s first-team nickel reps ahead of first-round pick Jeff Gladney. He was lined up at left corner, where he was a week earlier when he made the play of camp against Thielen. Thielen had gotten his release on a go route. But Dantzler blanketed him the whole way. Cousins launched a nice ball that was heading for Thielen’s fingertips. Until Dantzler’s right arm kept going up, up, up and swatted the ball away with unusual ease. “[Thielen] always jokes around about me and my long arms,” Dantzler said. He finished that play by tumbling to the ground, rolling onto his backside and signaling incomplete. “I like my young corners,” Zimmer said of a batch of players led in experience by Mike Hughes, who’s 23 with five starts. The Vikings, according to Zimmer, loved Dantzler’s coverage skills at Mississippi State. And why not? According to Pro Football Focus, Dantzler gave up just 21 yards passing in the games against Alabama and LSU. “The only thing we didn’t like about him was his 40 time at the combine,” Zimmer said of the 4.64-second showing. “Then when he ran a good time at his pro day [4.38], we got more intrigued.” Besides what Zimmer calls “great length and size and long arms,” Dantzler also has been “a pleasant surprise as far as the discipline with which he plays and understanding what we’re trying to do concept-wise,” the coach said. In other words, Dantzler has been immediately receptive to Zimmer’s coaching. Other new corners, including 2016 second-round pick Mackensie Alexander, have struggled under the head coach whose signature strength is working with defensive backs. “[Dantzler] is really trying to do everything right,” Zimmer said. “If we tell him to step with his left foot, typically he does that. … He just seems to be able to take it from the meeting room to the walk-through to the practice.” And he’s humble. Asked what he thought when he was retweeting the Vikings’ video of his interception, Dantzler said: “I got to give the credit to the coaches. They put me in a great position to make a play. … Just me doing my read, doing my 1-11,” a Vikings coaching mantra that harps one guy doing his job as part of an 11-man unit. Asked about negating the team’s star receiver on a deep ball the day before, Dantzler ended up giving a big chunk of the credit to Thielen. “Me and him talk almost every day about coverages,” Dantzler said. “What to do and what not to do. He’s one of the top five receivers in the league so I thank him each and every day for getting me better.” Among those reacting to the clips last week were Eagles veteran corner Darius Slay, tweeting “Yes Sir!!” to his fellow Mississippi State Bulldog; and former NFL receiver Chad Johnson, who tweeted: “I hear you making noise all the way from Miami. Stay locked in!” PUBLICATION: Star Tribune DATE: 8/25/20 Eight Vikings back at practice after COVID testing errors By Ben Goessling All eight Vikings players who missed Sunday’s practice because of presumptive positive COVID-19 tests were back on Monday, as the NFL said it had gotten to the root of the problem that produced 77 false positive tests among players, coaches and team staffers over the weekend. BioReference Laboratories, the company handling the NFL’s coronavirus testing program, said in a Monday statement that an investigation indicated the positive results were “most likely” erroneous and blamed them on contamination in a New Jersey laboratory. “I do believe the problem has been corrected,” Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL’s chief medical officer, said in a conference call Monday. The mixup took eight Vikings players and one coach off the field for Sunday’s practice. Linebacker Eric Kendricks, defensive ends Jalyn Holmes and Kenny Willekes, fullback C.J. Ham, wide receivers Dillon Mitchell and Alexander Hollins, tight end Nakia Griffin-Stewart and tackle Ezra Cleveland were absent, as was assistant special teams coach Ryan Ficken. “The guys didn’t blink an eye, Coach Zim didn’t blink an eye, [infection control officer Eric Sugarman] did a great job of coming in and expressing to us what was going on,” co-defensive coordinator Andre Patterson said in a videoconference Monday. “We followed the protocol. There was no anxiety. There was nobody worried or walking around, trying to see who was here, who wasn’t here.

  • 2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus
    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend. Darrynton Evans - Appalachian St. Zack Moss - Utah On their list are mostly “All-Purpose Backs” and one guy who is all traits (SPEED) D’Andre Swift - Georgia in Darrynton Evans.
