http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ben-gedeon-jersey ;, and Jacksonville's brash defenders expect the matchup to be a mismatch."It's a fun time," said Gipson, a safety who made the Pro Bowl in 2015. "The scary part about it is he's going against a very experienced secondary, the best in the league. The greatest part about it is if we don't get to him, the D-line will get to him. We're all licking our chops."The Jaguars have one of the best defenses in the NFL, a star-studded group that finished second in points, yards, interceptions and sacks in 2017. The unit currently leads the AFC in scoring, giving up three touchdowns and allowing 14.6 points a game.Darnold, the youngest quarterback to start a season opener in the league's modern era, has thrown five interceptions and been sacked seven times in three games. He also has three touchdown passes."I'm pretty sure fantasy (owners) are going to be drafting our defense this week," defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. "It's up to us to go out there and do what we need to do."Gipson and Jackson also praised Darnold for his poise, especially in the season opener against Detroit. Darnold's first NFL throw was intercepted and returned for a touchdown . He bounced back with two touchdowns in a 48-17 victory."He looked like an eight-year vet in that game," Gipson said. "Cleveland and Miami, they were able to get after him a little bit, get him rattled a little bit. At the end of the day, he's a young guy. It's growing pains. It's part of the game. I feel like if we can get him off his mark, kind of get him rattled, whether it's on pressure or tight coverage, I think we'll have a good day."Added Jackson: "You can sit here and say, 'On paper, we look good.' But we all saw last week when the (Minnesota) Vikings went out there and played (Buffalo). It doesn't matter."Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen accounted for three scores in a 27-6 win at the Vikings.The Jags faced just two rookie quarterbacks during coach Doug Marrone's first season, winning both.Cleveland's DeShone Kizer completed 16 of 32 passes for 179 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions in a 19-7 loss. He also was sacked five times and lost two of three fumbles.Houston's Deshaun Watson came off the bench in the 2017 opener and completed 12 of 23 passes for 102 yards and a score in a 29-7 loss."Rookies throw interceptions. They hold the ball a little longer. They just do things that a savvy quarterback that's been in the league three, four years doesn't do," Jackson said. "They just do things that they don't know any better of doing."Jacksonville's defense has done plenty of talking all season , but also has been a little slow to pile up numbers.The D returned an interception for a touchdown in the season opener at the New York Giants, but has been relatively quiet since. Pro Bowl defensive end Yannick Ngakoue is still looking for his first sack, and the highly touted secondary — A.J. Bouye, Jalen Ramsey, Barry Church and Gipson — has yet to notch an interception."Any secondary that's been catching picks this year, I just got to tell them, 'Calm down,'" Gipson said. "Their ceiling can only be the second-best secondary in the National Football League no matter what. ... "It's time for us to get our hands on the rock. We're all itching for that opportunity. Once that first one comes
Sheldon Richardson Jersey , they're just going to continue to come and they come in bunches, man, as we seen last year."We're not pressing about it. We know our opportunity is going to come."Maybe it happens against Darnold."If you go in looking at he's young, he's this, he's that, the guy will come out and blast you," Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith said. "You've got to understand that we don't have much tape on him. You've got college tape and stuff like that. Again, respect any man that lines on the other side of that ball. But at the same time, there better be respect on that side of the ball."Tuesday Open Thread: September 11, 2018 Merry Tuesday, everyone!It’s September 11, and we all know what happened on this day, 17 years ago. I think it’s important to use today as a day of thanksgiving, to be thankful for the men and women who defend our nation and the freedoms we enjoy. Today particularly reminds me to include not only our soldiers, but also those in the law enforcement community, and in fire and rescue. Some folks do jobs that others would not want to do, or would not be able to do, and place themselves in harm’s way to protect others. If you are one of those people, I sincerely thank you.That being said, I’ll use part of my freedom to be happy that the Vikings are 1-0. Lions fans, if Chim or any others are reading today, I can only say that I feel for you after last night’s..........game?. Ouch. If it helps any, which it probably won’t, the Vikings opened the 2015 season with an absolute sulphur fart of a game against the 49ers on Monday Night Football (there were lots of 2-14 predictions from some fans on here the next day), and the Vikings wound up finishing the season at 11-5 and brought home the NFCNorth crown. Now, the Lions won’t be able to win the division, as that crown must stay in Minnesota, but the Lions can still turn things around. It’s only one game. It was friggin’ horrendous, though.Around the DN since our last open thread:Ted brings back Zim Tzu for 2018.Eric highlights five game-changing plays from Sunday’s match-up.just_rob had a preview and game thread for last night’s “game”. Doing a game thread for division rival games seems to be a success. Excellent idea, rob.Wludford shares the “report” that A-a-ron Rodgers suffered a mild MCL sprain. I tend to question any diagnosis that is based solely on TV footage, regardless of how many years the diagnoser had a stethoscope hanging around their neck. (Before anyone starts yelling at me, I know that diagnoser is not a word. I just made it up, but I also used it, so it is now a word......in my world) No word from Rodgers or the Packers yet

No, wludford didn’t steal a urinal from Levi’s Stadium, he just learned a few things from seeing the game, that’s what I meant by takeaways.Ted looks at how Mike Hughes stepped in when his team needed him, then stepped up big-time.Vikings news from other sources and news from around the rest of the league:At Vikings.com, Rudolph and Cousins both shared some exciting news recently, in addition to the victory on Sunday. Both players’ families are expecting. Congrats to both of them, that’s great news.

More than once, actually, but it has been quite a while, and this still makes me laugh every time I watch it. I don’t know why watching drunk people do drunk things makes me giggle, but it does, and this might be the best drunk person video I’ve seen. (atching this also reminds me to be thankful that there weren’t cameras everywhere back in my younger and much wilder days).
