Second, Niklas was matched up with rookie quarterback Logan Thomas, who has the strongest arm of any previous Cardinals quarterback I've seen. The ball explodes out of his hand, and spins quickly.
One pass hit Niklas in the head. Another bounced off receiver Jaron Brown's chest. Receivers are going to have to adjust to that power.
Thomas needs to adjust, too. A strong arm can pay dividends, but it's clear Thomas must harness the gift in order to use it for good, not evil.
Some passes were just off the mark. Others could have used some touch.
If this kid ever gets it, he's going to be real dangerous. Go Hercules!

You hit it right here, only complaint I ever had about LT was his touch. Not everyone can catch fireballs hurled at them from a semi-deity, but we will always have 3rd and 16

Something tells me a lot of his problems will go away if he ever gets a chance to throw to Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd. Pretty much just need to get it in the general vicinity of those guys and any velocity will do.

Since Jack Tyler is not on the Vikings roster, is there more to his tweet about going to Blacksburg? He seemed to be a good spokesman for the team while he was at Tech, so is it possible that he may joining the staff in some capacity?

It's not much of a surprise about Miami having so many in the NFL.
Like UVA, they have some talent but waste it.
And about the same sized home crowds.
However one stadium is in the middle of the campus while the other is about an hour away. Find it interesting I do.
Logan, or Hercules the half god, is going to need Supermen (Coale and Boykin) to catch his passes.

Yeah, I really don't recall this being an issue when Coale and Boykin were catching passes.
good receivers don't complain about balls being thrown to them. they catch them.
Sending a rookie receiver with a broken hand out on the field to catch passes from LT is just cruel.
