Kansas City Chiefs Vs. Minnesota Vikings Friday, August 27, 2021 Kansas City Chiefs vs. Minnesota Vikings Friday, August 27, 2021 Preseason Game 3 Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer OPENING STATEMENT: “I thought tonight was sloppy. I thought we gave up a big play early in the game. We gave another big play in a screen. Offensively, we had way too many penalties. We started out with a pretty good drive down the field in the first drive and stalled in the red zone there. The next drive we take a sack and so that kind of puts an end to that drive and then the third drive we were backed up and didn’t do much there. We still have a lot of work to do. We will be excited to get our players who have been holding on this preseason out there and get going again.” Q: With Dalvin (Tomlinson) and Justin (Jefferson) out, how do you evaluate the offense? ZIMMER: “It is really hard. On all sides of the ball, I feel like we are going to be pretty good, but you still have to go out there and prove it. We held out (Eric) Kendricks, (Anthony) Barr, (Danielle) Hunter, (Harrison) Smith and Patrick Peterson. Offensively, it was basically those three guys. I think part of the deal tonight when I was listening to the defense was that these young safeties played basically most of the game, so they were having a hard time making adjustments, communicating and checking, but it was a good go around with a loud crowd. I think it was a good experience for a lot of these young guys.” Q: How do you feel about Kellen Mond closing the game? ZIMMER: “I think he improved in all three ball games. There was some good and some bad.” Q: Have you had a chance to look at the battle for the backup quarterback job? ZIMMER: “We will look at it tomorrow and evaluate that.” Q: On the 35-yard score, was safety miscommunication an issue? ZIMMER: “No, that was him. He did not cover the guy.” Q: Did you consider putting Kirk Cousins back out there for a fourth drive? ZIMMER: “I was fine (with three). We planned on him not playing very long anyway. I wanted to make sure to get out of there healthy. He took a pretty good shot on that second drive. I think if you look at a lot of the guys that played that are probably not really ready to play yet. I have been very cautious about playing some of our guys because of injuries. If we get the wrong guys hurt, we are going to struggle in a lot of ways.” Q: You talked the protection after the Colts game. Was that a similar deal with the sack on (Kirk) Cousins? ZIMMER: “Yeah, I don’t know what that was exactly on that one. I know that they blitzed, but I don’t know if we didn’t squeeze. I didn’t hear that.” Q: Did you take away much from Everson (Griffen)’s play? ZIMMER: “I know he hit the quarterback a couple of times. I know he had that one sack and hit the quarterback one time. I thought he had another good rush. We just want to see him on third down and see if he can still rush.” Q: How do you size up the (Stephen) Weatherly and (D.J.) Wonnum battle at defensive end? ZIMMER: “Same thing, we’ll evaluate it tomorrow.” Q: How did you feel about (D.J.) Wonnum tonight? ZIMMER: “A couple of times I saw him rush well. Part of that is that I need to know who he’s rushing on and during the game sometimes, I don’t know what guys are rushing on what guys. That’s part of it too.” Q: With roster cuts looming, how many roster spots do you think are up for grabs? How much work from tonight will go towards making those decisions? ZIMMER: “It’s tough to say how many because I think you’re looking at guys from other teams too. You’re trying to figure out if this guy is better than a guy we have on our team, that gets released. You try to figure out the practice squad and all of those things, making sure you have enough guys in case guys get hurt. We basically ran out of running backs tonight. We ran out of receivers tonight. The other part is, I think we’re going to have to do some conditioning. I know it’s hot out there tonight, but those guys were sucking. We’re probably going to have to condition the rest of this week and some of next week.” Q: You mentioned about getting guys in shape. Was that a big issue? ZIMMER: “Well, these guys played a lot of plays tonight, especially the offensive guys. On special teams, we had a couple of injuries, so guys had to go there. We had a couple of linebackers, so we had a few there. It was hot and they’re playing every play on special teams. I know there was a couple of guys that couldn’t rise to the occasion there towards the end.” Q: Janarius Robinson said on Twitter today that he had surgery. Was that his knee or something else? ZIMMER: “You’ll have to ask him.” Kansas City Chiefs vs. Minnesota Vikings Friday, August 27, 2021 Preseason Game 3 Vikings Quarterback Kirk Cousins OPENING STATEMENT: “Just another short body of work at the start of the game. That was a positive first drive, moving the ball down the field, had some good connections with Irv (Smith Jr.) for some explosive plays but we just couldn’t close in the red zone. We talk a lot about third downs and the red zone so we always want to convert those when we can. We weren’t able to get anything going the other two drives. Now we look forward to Cincinnati and get ready for the real thing. Looking forward to that challenge coming here in a couple of weeks.” Q: It was a small sample size but does it disappoint you that in six possessions in the preseason the first team wasn’t able to get a touchdown? COUSINS: “Yeah, we’ll have a few more guys with us in Cincinnati and I think that always helps. There’s always going to be things to work on. We look forward to getting back to work.” Q: What can you take away from the drive that was 10 plays for 67 yards? You guys were able to move it a little bit there tonight? COUSINS: “Yeah, I think Irv (Smith Jr.) did a great job separating versus man coverage. We did a good job running the football that drive as well, I thought. It’s kind of all running together right now but, we took it down there and moved the football and it was real positive.” Q: How debilitating was it to start that second drive with a sack? COUSINS: “Yeah, then you’re 2nd and 20 or 20-plus, whatever it was, we didn’t get anything on the run on second down and then you’re in third and really long again, just like we were last week. We’ve got to stay out of those situations, have to avoid negative plays. When you’re in manageable third downs, it’s a little more doable to convert and stay on the field.” Q: Were you hoping to come back out on the fourth drive or were you ok with coming out after three? COUSINS: “In preseason, you just learn to roll with whatever Coach (Mike Zimmer) decides. Whether it’s one drive, the whole first half, whatever it may be, you just learn to be flexible, not really plan ahead and just be able to react.” Q: Obviously your body work is a lot bigger in practices. How are you feeling overall about the starting offense and where you guys are at? COUSINS: “I feel good. We’ve got great rapport with our coaches, with the plan, we really like the plan. We feel good about our unit. I’m excited about our guys and now that we’re getting close to the real thing, we really have to be ready to go, get our guys healthy and start fast.” Q: How did you feel about Kellen Mond? He really seemed to get into a rhythm there in the second half and looked good at the end. COUSINS: “Yeah, we had some good possessions in the second half. It was great to put some points up on the board and really make that game close at the end.” Kansas City Chiefs vs. Minnesota Vikings Friday, August 27, 2021 Preseason Game 3 Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid OPENING STATEMENT: “There really are no injuries to give you tonight. The guys that were supposed to play, played. (Clyde Edwards) Helaire, (Darrel) Williams, (Austin) Blythe, (Frank) Clark, Larry Duvernay-Tardif and (Rashad) Fenton did not play. Everybody else played and I thought did a nice job. I thought both sides of the ball and special teams did well. It was good to get the young guys in—they had some extended play there and I thought that was good for them. It gives Brett (Veach) an opportunity to go back and evaluate one more time some of those guys that he’s got tough decisions on. But I sure appreciated their effort. With that, time’s yours.” Q: Why didn’t Chad Henne play tonight? REID: “Chad’s had enough reps.

  • 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.

Buckle up and @xfantasyphoenix, @McNamaraDynasty let’s win this thing. Your Friends at Footballguys “What I saw from A.J. Green at Cardinals practice today looked like the 2015 version,” Riddick tweeted. “He was on fire. Arizona has the potential to have top-five wide receiver group with DHop, AJ, Rondale Moore, and Christian Kirk.” The Cardinals have lots of depth now at QB: Kyler Murray saw his first snaps this preseason, but the wide receiver position with the additions for Green it was evident Kliff Kingsbury sees little value in giving and Moore this offseason. his superstar quarterback an extended preseason look. He played nine snaps against the Chiefs before giving TE: The tight end position remains one of the big way to Colt McCoy and Chris Streveler. Those nine question marks. Maxx Williams sits at the top of the snaps were discouraging, as Murray took two sacks and depth chart, but it is muddied with Darrell Daniels, only completed one pass.
