Will Josh Dobbs and the Vikings bounce back after a devastating loss?

 


Written by Carmine Tuosto of Swish Tribune


The former starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings during the October 29th win against the Packers at Lambeau Field. He is placed on IR and will miss the rest of the season. Days later they signed quarterback Josh Dobbs who was playing with the Arizona Cardinals at this time.


Next week against the Falcons, Dobbs went into the game knowing barely any plays and still put the Vikings on top 31-28. He went 20-30 with 158 yards and 2 Touchdowns. He still played average in his next two games. The game against the Saints 23-34 268 yards and 1 Touchdown, Despite his one interception in a game against the Broncos he threw 20-32 for 221 yards and 1 touchdown they lost that game 21-20. 


The Vikings on MNF were looking for a bounce back win against the Bears but it didn't go as planned as Josh Dobbs had a horrible performance with 22-32 attempts, 185 yards, 1 touchdown and 4 Interceptions.  


Here's what Head Coach, Kevin O’Connell had to say about it: "We're going to take a look, you know, really evaluate the inventory of plays now we have of Josh," This was his answer to a question about a quarterback change. 

Dobbs said he was not focusing on whether the takeaways will result in him going back to the bench,  This is what he has to say about his performance: "Honestly, I think that's a coaching decision, but, no I don't," Dobbs said. "I just focus on myself, focus on how I can help this team win, focus on how I can be a better teammate, a better quarterback and focus on how I can make sure the offense is in the right play based on the scenario to go out and execute and play at a high level."

I think Josh Dobbs can still perform at a high level because Josh fought, kept playing and competing to try to help the vikings win. I credit him for that, it's hard to do on a night where you've turned the football over frequently and I think he's a real competitor to this game. Dobbs just needs to clean up a few things and get ready for next week playing the Raiders.

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown. Bruce Br...
