Vikings Message Board.Com

I don't think Vikes drafted him to be a covering receivers/tight ends/running backs or plugging running lanes. He's clearly a pass rusher. Just wondering how they will use his pass rush.

He honestly looks like an unbelievable talent. A starting lineup with Griffen and Chrichton sounds way more appealing than Griffen and Robison.

So that goes to tell me they're just as confused as us how they'll use him! Haha. I'd like to think he'd be used as a blitz happy sam LB that puts his hand in the dirt on passing downs.

He's obviously best suited as a 3-4 OLB so how exactly will the Vikings use him? Will we institute him as a 4-3 OLB in a hybrid blitz or drop role? Play him traditional 4-3 OLB and put his hand in the ground ears back on passing downs? Or line him up as a RDE full time?

Your attempt to ridicule and demean him is quite embarrassing. You need to get some sleep, dude..holy crap.

Bash me for not including this in a separate thread but I think the Vikings should sign Ed on an incentive base.. $1.5-2 million contract. He would provide a great compliment to Harrison's game and equally be a great value coach and mentor. Forgive me if this has been mentioned in the thread, but I ...

He's had slow years before, but he had always been able to get sacks. This year I see nothing that made JA what he was. His snap count timing is ####, his burst off the line isn't there, his speed around the corner is completely gone, and most of all, when tackles get their hands on him he is locked ...

I know it's semantics but I want Griffen to be the starter and Robison the rotator. Sure, the rotator gets a lot of snaps but it doesn't see as many as the starter Griffen has one of the highest ceilings I've seen in a while.

Okay, well perhaps trading JA isn't the answer. It's a possibility, however. Maybe the real solution (my preference) is to sit Brian and allow Griffen to shine.

That would be a crime in so many ways. He has so much flash and big play potential. I feel like he's a Jon Randle clone.

Where will he start next year? He's not a back up, not on any team. I don't expect him to back up next year. Does he start over JA, Robison, or at OLB?

That's true, I feel like that our rookie corner will step up to his starting role with time, though.

What if the season ended today? Obviously it didn't but it'll be fun to see what adjustments people want right now and what adjustments we'll want after the post-season.

My thoughts:

START EVERSON GRIFFEN. I've been in favor of him starting over Robison since his sophomore season. He has a motor ...

Second week in a row that Vikings could have leaned more on the unstoppable Peterson. The man was averaging much more per touch than our passing game and could clearly have moved the offense toward the red zone every drive. To only give the hottest running back in the league 17 touches when he ...

I'm no coach (even though I think I'd be a damn good one!) but when I play madden and run with the Vikings, I have one thing in mind offensively: RUN THE ROCK. We have an improved offensive line and an invigorated ADRIAN PETERSON.... and we give him 15 carries? On the other side of the LOS Bucs ran ...
