Xavier Rhodes was an all-star in 2017-18. Vikings fans were raving about “Rhodes Closed” while we zoomed into the NFC Championship game after the famous Minneapolis Miracle.

Xavier has not looked the same since. Ever since his injury in the 2018-19 season, he has constantly been bullied, burnt, dogged, and genuinely bullied game after game.

We wrote it off the first couple of games. He was just cold. He’ll come back. But every single defensive drive he got worse. He’s let up countless catches, screens, tackles and most importantly touchdowns this season. This all climaxed in 3rd quarter play where he let a man by him for a 60 yard touch down. An awful, awful play that completely changed the shape of the game. The Vikings then went down 17-34. This is not okay.

Xavier (or X-avier) needs to be benched or released. This is getting ridiculous. Every single burn, every single dog, every single dropped coverage. We need to end this. Everyone in Minnesota Agrees.
