This would form one of the best safety duos in the NFL? It would? The NFL is really sucking Zim's ball sack.

Vikings fans are asking if he can play OG

Harrison Smith is a ball hawking FS , they will probably make Ioka the strong safety. His lack of turnovers won’t matter as much because they have Smith plus they also got George at a severely discounted rate. His issue here was he was making way too much money and we basically had two strong safety’s with him and Shawn Willams. He will probably sign for around the vet minimum so the Vikings don’t have much to lose by signing him.

Geez, if he goes there then there is a chance our old offense and our old defense face off against each other in the SB!

Makes perfect sense that Zimmer who drafted Illoka to fit his defensive scheme would want him now that he is a free agent.

Couldn't workout any better for George, as he would go to a team with awesome facilities that is willing to do whatever it takes to win it all.

Yes, it would. Iloka fits MUCH better in that defense. And don't forget that the Vikes already have a stacked defense.. their front looks terrifying, and they have really talented corners.
Good pick up by the Vikes, and I don't think it was a bad move by the Bengals either.

Completely agree, this is what i was thinking. Good moves by both teams. Glad George went to a team i liked.
Hope he does well under Zim again. Harrison Smith is a great Safety that should help him out.

Great spot for Iloka. He gets to play his strongest role in a familiar defense. Happy for him.

Vikings have won exactly the same amount of Super Bowls as we have. So no, they haven’t done what it takes to win it all.

Present day? The Vikes are doing what it takes. They are a serious contender.
The Bengals are still sailing in mediocre waters, IMO.

They haven’t won shit. So again, no they haven’t done “whatever it takes to win it all.” They haven’t even been to a SB since 1976.
They might win some playoff games here and there, but they’re almost as used to heartbreak as we are.

He never said they HAVE DONE, he said they are WILLING TO
Reading comprehension and context is important.
Do you think the Bengals and Vikings run the same? That the Vikings make similar free agency and draft moves as the Bengals? Personnel? Coach signings and firings?

They have similar if not worse concerns on their O line. Does that count? lol

Considering Sendejo is the starter and probably better on that team, Iloka will be the third S.

They signed the top rated quarterback in free agency. Quarterback. The Bengals only get to sign a mediocre free agent when that player has any ties to the city of coaching staff. This year it’s Lb Brown. Vikings are legit n will battle it out in the NFC again. Meanwhile the Bengals will go between 5-11 n 8-8. Wouldn’t mind seeing 3-13 as that would end the Marvin Lewis era and a new better quarterback would be sought.
