Vikings-Dolphins: One more game for Michael Floyd before suspension

Minnesota Vikings Michael Floyd (18).] CARLOS GONZALEZ cgonzalez@startribune.com – August 27, 2017, Minneapolis, MN, US Bank Stadium, NFL, Minnesota Vikings vs. San Francisco 49ersThursday night will be the last time Michael Floyd can step onto a football field for a game until the beginning of October. And while a good showing in the Vikings’ preseason finale against the Miami Dolphins might not be necessary to secure Floyd’s role on the roster, it certainly would help him close the preseason with some momentum before beginning a four-week suspension. Floyd, who is about to begin NFL discipline following his arrest for DUI last December, had an impressive training camp in which he showcased his ability to separate from defenders (particularly on intermediate routes) and make contested catches.

  • How can the Broncos get WR Courtland Sutton going? Perhaps it will start with a dagger
    Denver Post, Friday - 09/20/2024 - 11:16 AM

    Josh Reynolds is a dagger expert. That’s “dagger” as in the NFL passing concept, of course. In Detroit, Reynolds got all the glory on the play. Somebody else handled the clear-out vertical, running a safety down the field to create a void about 18-20 yards past the line of scrimmage, a couple of yards inside the numbers. Then Reynolds, lined up outside, would run a deep in-cut into that void, find the ball and make hay. “That was one of my routes, for sure.
