ke another member of the Minnesota Vikings coaching staff may be on his way out.Darren Wolfson of KSTP in Minneapolis is hearing rumblings that Terence Newman may not return to Mike Zimmer’s staff in 2019. As is noted in his tweet Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , Newman is no longer listed on the team’s website as a coach.Newman, who would have been the oldest defensive player in the NFL had he gone into the 2018 season with the team, instead announced his retirement from the league on cutdown day just before the start of the season. When the announcement of his retirement came out, so came the word that he was being added to the Vikings’ coaching staff to help with the defensive backs.The Vikings’ defensive backfield is among the league’s best, and several players made significant jumps during the course of the season, most notably Holton Hill and Mackensie Alexander. I’m not sure how much, if any, of that can be attributed to Newman’s presence on the coaching staff Garrett Bradbury Jersey Cheap , but I don’t think he would have hindered things in any meaningful way.Given that the Vikings are still looking to fill several vacancies on the coaching staff, this is just another potential spot for Mike Zimmer to fill.(Kudos to The Viking Age, who got to this one before we did.)Monday Open Thread: October 8, 2018 Merry Monday, everyone!And a merry Monday it is. The Vikes got a big win on the road yesterday against a tough opponent. Not everything went perfectly, but I liked what I saw from our defense. They haven’t played as well as we expected, but they had a solid game overall yesterday, and held a strong offense to 6 points up to the fourth quarter. We found out that Linval Joseph is also a slot corner (I really wished they would have counted that as an INT so that I could make a “more interceptions than Chris Cook reference”) Garrett Bradbury Jersey Womens , and some other players on the defense who needed to step up their game did so, Anthony Barr being one of them.The running game still didn’t make much of an appearance, but the Eagle defense is probably not the opponent you want to go up against to re-find your running game.That being said, 3.3 yards per carry isn’t going to get it done. I don’t know what the Vikings do to kickers when they’re signed here that causes their accuracy to disappear. Maybe there’s some weird pre-game team ritual where the kicker does a bunch of tequila shots just before kickoff. I don’t know, but whatever it is, they shouldn’t do it again. It ain’t funny anymore.But, you know what? The team got a road win against the Super Bowl champions at a time when they desperately needed a win. I’m happy with the results, and I’m glad that the team looks to be climbing out of the funk they’ve been in. Mondays are awesome. Post road=win Mondays are even more awesome.
