millenium falcon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 ryan cook was the starter last year for all 16 games. marcus johnson is a guy they had high expectations for, but he just did'nt pan out. i was surprised to hear baldinger say last week that cook nd johnson were turnstiles with legs and that artis hicks, an OG, had been playing RT for them but that he was'nt the answer either. i thought the were saying ryan cook was a pleasant surprise a year ago and had solidified the position they expected johnson to. ryan was a 2nd rd pick in 06. like tavares jackson, he may not relinquish his starting role again given a second chance. at 6-6, 328 pds, ryan will be a handful in the run game which is how they want to start so they can play action to their speedy WR's(berrian, rice, wade) down the field.

muskokas finest © Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Just means more time for Abraham on the left side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infidel Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I think we all know JA98 is not going to have a breakout game. He might smash the window, jump in an get crazy, but when he's done, he's going to walk back out and hide in that alley again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmildog Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 All this means is the The Predator will be lining up at different ends all game long. It also means Tavaris Jackson will be hurt be the third quarter and Abe will be at 18.5 sacks after the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice74 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 well wether or not the guy started last year, hes 2nd string,which if JA98 is supposed to be good against the run, this game will test him, the most so if he ends up with 2 tackles, 0 sacks, no FF hes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice74 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 i had a dream that he had 2 sacks and 1 fumble recovery......that would be a career day for him, JA55 i would expect that from, average day for him at the office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons66 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Im sorry but JA98 should be done even if he has a good game 1 game doesn't make a player. Skill by definition is being able to repeat a process with efficiency. So I ask you has he had skill this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconsFanSC Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I expect Anderson to have a multiple sack game this week. The Vikings will be rolling T. Jackson away from Abraham as much as possible. This will put JA in position to have make sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazoo Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The problem I see with Anderson at this point is that I do not see the explosive burst in space to close on the QB. Many say he can;t get off the line and blah,blah, blah, but the fact is he's been in the backfeld numerous times and justnot ben able to get to the QB. Just like with Abraham, there are games where he's not been in the backfield and games they have been. Abraham has the best closng speed of any DE I've ever seen though, where *to date* I haven;t seen it in Anderson. I warn everyone though, this was the same problem I saw in Roddy all throughout his second season. He didn;t appear to have that separation speed (explosive burst) and rarely ever got separation. (this is backed up by Brian Baldingers multiple game analysis that was seen by most message board members, as well as Coach Reeves saying our wrs couldn;t get separation and many of us fans saying it) Despite it "appearing" Roddy lacked the explosive burst to create separation, Roddy's game came together his 3rd season and he is now a Pro Bowl WR. Just as it appeared Roddy lacked it, it also "appears" JA98 does not have the explosive burst to close on the QB. I will wait until next year to see if JA98 can do as Roddy did and have a break out year. I have no idea if JA98 will ever be any better than he is right now, but my mind is not closed to the possibility as it is with some aroud here.

AllDay Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Lets get the facts straight.Ryan Cook started all 16 games last yearRyan Cook was our starter to start the year with Artis Hicks playing left tackle for the suspended Mckinnie. Cook played against top DE's going against GB, Carolina, Indianapolis, and Tennessee to start the season. Hick's eventually replaced Cook for a few games due to Hicks outplaying Cook but due to injury Cook is back in at starter.Cook is average and a weakness on the Vikes O-Line. But he is not a career backup, started most of last season including last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
