WR Sydney Rice a future star at and will be a nightmare for CB's to cover if he stays healthy. I don't look forward to seeing Packers CB Al Harris on him twice a season.

Who considered the number one receiver in Minnesota right now: Berrian or Rice? I would assume Berrian because of his contract.Originally Posted by Bronkko

Berrian is Numero Uno, but Rice will end up a much better player. Our CB's will be our undoing.

I was very impressed with Berrian, Rice, and Allison. T-jack sure did step it up. Lets hope he continues.

Berrian's strength is running post patterns and utilizing his speed to run past the safety. Play action passes on this post pattern would result in some big plays if Jackson can make the throws.Originally Posted by GetFamiliar

If DE Jared Allen can keep a consistent pass rush coming , it should help out the corners in coverage.

True...Originally Posted by papi93
Last year it wasn't the coverage of the Corners and safeties that was killing the pass defense... It was the fact that our Zero pass rush gave the opposing QB all day to just wait for someone to come open.
It's amazing what happens to QB's when they get just a little pressure, and can't throw and play how they want.

As for T-Jax... All he has to do is play like Trent Dilfer did for the Ravens back in 2001... He just has to manage not to lose the game...
We don't need him to win it...

We're hurting now due to injuries. Farwell is a huge loss. Now it looks like M. Williams, our new Safety will be out for up to 6 weeks.

Back in the John Randle Viking days, Favre used to have nightmare performances in the Metro Dome. The pass rush he provided would force Favre into interceptions or fumbles. The last couple of years, there has been no pass rush and Favre has carved up the Vikings secondary like a Thanksgiving turkey in Minnesota. Look at how the Giants pass rush made the weak corners look like elite lockdown cornerbacks. It makes a world of difference. Allen will be seeing a lot of double and even triple teams on passing situations. Someone else will need to step up when this happens.Originally Posted by Nainoa

Both the Williams will step it up when Allen gets teamed. Also, Ray Edwards has claimed that he will have a monster year due to this.Originally Posted by papi93

While the Williams combo is elite when it comes to run stopping, I don't ever seeing them shoot through the middle and sacking the QB. Edwards will need to be the one who has to step up, IMO.Originally Posted by Shike

Back when I played D-line (And after my knee injury I became the DC) there was always this tragic irony...Originally Posted by Shike
One season, the D-Line would be just a friggin' Run stopping Juggernaut... But the pass rush would suffer... So we'd refocus on that, and sack the hell out of the QB, but then give up gashing horrendous runs... And the DB's would suck at tackling having had such a cushy time the year before.
Hard to get a good balance of each.
If I had to choose though... Everytime I'd choose have a leathal pass rush over a run stopping D every time...
A lot more Opportunistic things happen from a strong pass rush! (Fumbles/Picks/Safeties/Mind funk on the O-Line.)6'4"

trying to balance the pass rush with run defense has a ton to do with scheme and your LBs as well. If the LBs aren't covering holes created by edge rushers and DLs shooting gaps, then the run defense is going to suck, especially if the DL is overpursuing.
and yes, Randle + Doleman was stupid.
what's even stupiderer is if Millard could've stayed healthy. Pure insanity. PURE insanity. That could've been the best pass-rushing DL in NFL history with room to spare.

V-I-K-I-N-G-S Skol Vikings lets go
I haven't been this jazzed for football since 1999 when I thought the Vikes would get revenge and finally win a superbowl.
Stay healthy ( I know ) and if TJ players average this team can accomplish alot this year.

Went on a run and forgot to slide. Ray Lewis hit him and hurt the knee. Kid looked great though. If this doesn't change his game play, we have a solid qb this season.

If anything it will be good for the kid in the long run... He proved with the concussion last season that he's willing to learn how to protect his health... This just made him aware "Hey I really can get friggin' jacked up and hurt my teams when I take off, instead of complete my pass progression."Originally Posted by Shike
