Re: Vikings @ Texans Preseason Game Thread

All I can say is its going to be a long season... This team's starters are questionable in a lot of areas, but the lack of depth is truly glaring. Its hard for me to understand how a pro team can miss so badly for so long on personnel to get to the point this team finds itself.
I also have to question Frazier for not getting his starters more work. Ponder needs the reps, as do many other starters. I know that goes against convention, and I know that the Texans weren't playing their starters, but the Vikings are coming off a 3-13 season and have a 2nd-year QB. I think if there was ever a case where it made sense to buck tradition and get the starters more game-time situations this was it. Even just 2 or 3 series, especially given how ineffective they were in the last game against the Chargers, was warranted here.
