SB Vikings
Posted: Fri May 10, 2013 10:29 am
When will the Vikings finally win a SB? This is a question that all long-suffering Viking fans want answered ASAP. My hope and opinion is within the next 2-4 years depending on many factors. Realistically there are so many factors, variables and intangibles to take into account that it is difficult to say when, with any high degree of certainty.
I would like to opine briefly on a few factors that come to mind:
1)QB play of Ponder or whomever.....Of utmost importance. If we can acheive consistent and favorable/productive QB play, this will be a major step to our goal.
2)RB play......Continuation of a dominant run game to act in synergy with a productive passing game.
3)O Line play......Continued improvement and consistency in pass protection and run blocking. IMO this is a major area where we must be dominant in order to acheive our goal.
4)TE & WR play......Improvement in this area will be essential in order for our QB(s) to be productive and our offense to flourish and keep our defense from being on the field too long.
5)D Line play......Improvement in rushing and sacking the opposition QB will be paramount in taking some of the pressure off the LB's and secondary, until they develop into units that can be counted on consistantly.
6)LB & secondary play......Continued improvement in pass protection and tackling will be needed rather quickly in order to keep pace with all the passing teams that we will constantly face.
7)2012-2013 Draft picks......Will have to contribute from day one in order acheive our goal. They must pick up the play book quickly and have a major impact on offense/defense.
8)Special team play.....Continued success with our FG kicker and a solid peformance from our new K will help our field position in critical games.
Other factors such as limiting injuries, innovative and unpredictable play calling, playing smart and with passion, coaching up players to their full potential, having good backup players in case of injuries and continued drafting of good players as well as many other factors will play a part as to when we win a SB.
Hopefully we'll get one sooner than later. A little luck would help also.....!!!!
