Vikings Message Board.Com

I am struggling to even remember the last time I saw this squad tackle this well.

2 key differences in the D this year so far.....they are actually getting pressure on the QB and when they complete a pass most of the time the first guy that hits the receiver is making the tackle. Very few plays where they are getting any YAC

Let's put 7 more in the board?

They've been solid.

I'm even more impressed with our d-backs. Nobody is open except for check-downs, where our solid linebackers are cleaning up.

Okay—so when the pundits respond to this defensive performance, do they say that the Vikings looked great, or that the Rams forgot to bring anyone to the stadium who could play quarterback?

If you hear a knock on your door, it's Mr. T.

Johnson just doesn't have it.

What the hell was that?

Yankey can't be that bad..

Havnt been able to watch any of the game as I am at work. Can someone give me a quick summary?

Vikings have a real defense.
Cassel playing smart
Peterson having a pretty ho-hum day so far.
Cordarrelle Patterson is a freakin' stud (1 crazy rushing TD)
Special Teams playing very well.

Looks like someone with a clue is coaching the Vikings.
