Re: Thoughts on turning Cam Newton into Fig Newton

I am sure Zimmer calls some fairly vanilla "Standard" stuff for him to start the game off, if you can make it work with that why show off your tricks. Its more a matter of Zimmer wanting to only use what he has too IMO. I have no doubt that if he wanted Zimmer could blow his play wad and ...

Re: Thoughts on turning Cam Newton into Fig Newton

What a ridiculous comment. My post was in response to those who believe our team gets no respect. It shows that attitude is beginning to turn. Too bad some of our own fans lead the no-respect charge. I will never understand fans who look through a freaking microscope to find everything wrong wrong ...

Re: Thoughts on turning Cam Newton into Fig Newton

I compare this win, to October 1998, when the Vikings walked into Lambeau on a rainy Monday night. The Packers also had an impressive home winning streak. And Moss star was born. In this case, it wasn't about one player. It was about a team getting after it. I'm not sure, that I have ever seen a Vik...

Re: Enemy Fan Forums: Green Bay Packers

We need something no offensive touchdowns ... It looked like we were bringing back the Childress run plan last week. It's because of who started at QB. They didn't respect the pass at all, so they stacked the box. If Hill were to start tomorrow, it would be the same thing. The Pukers would win in a...

Re: Turner expects Adrian Peterson to find his stride

Norv should use a lot of 4 WR sets, that could open up the run game. And if they cheat up, there should be someone open. I wonder if Bradford will be free to change from run / pass or vice versa.

Re: Danielle Hunter shows off the skills that had Adrian Pet

I hope Hunter ends up being a stud bookend to Griffen. What was a question at draft time has quickly become a very good move. He's proving he not only belongs but has a pretty bright future. Glad he's in Purple. He already is a stud! The dude is a freak, and if he plays a lot of snaps he will cause...

Re: Vikings vs. Packers on SNF

Thats your opinion and I respect it. I disagree however, his numbers in a 4-3 would be out of this world as would his disruption. So you are trying to say, only 3/4 linemen qualify in your discussion as best in the division. Hunter and Griff are both DL, not 3/4 LBers. And however you want to catig...

Re: Vikings vs. Packers on SNF

This is more or less what they've been doing for years. Last year they would bring in Austin Shepherd as the extra lineman or utilize a lot of 2 TE formations. As long as you don't get down by too much this tends to work, the problem is this type of offense makes it hard to catch up from behind. Yo...

Re: Vikings vs. Packers on SNF

In fact, despite playing at a position where you ARENT drawing constant double teams, a system/position that typically gets MORE QB hurries and QB sacks then its 3-4 counterpart, I noticed Mike Daniels has MORE sacks then Linval, in two less career years, it goes without saying he also has more the...

Re: Vikings vs. Packers on SNF

I'm not so sure of that. Since Hill performed decently enough, he was a game manager, I think the coaching staff will use that as an excuse to give Bradford more time to learn the offense and develop a rhythem with the recievers. Bradford will eventually be the starter, I'm just not sold that it wi...

Re: Thoughts Week 1

They escaped big time! Hunter needs to play full time. That sack he had was ridiculous, weaving his way to the QB.

First half the offense was so predictable, it was hard to watch.

Great teams find ways to win, and this might be the most talented team since 98.
