good news Sharrif Floyd says MRI reveals no damage to the knee,i hope the Vikings take their time with him..Frazier said some of the starters will play into the second quarter
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings are counting on some savvy, productive performances by their unseasoned cornerbacks. Playing beyond their years will be a must in this pass-happy league. The guys in charge of this critical position begin with Chris Cook, Josh Robinson and rookie Xavier Rhodes. Combined, this trio has played in 38 regular season games and totaled just two interceptions, both by Robinson last year. A.J. Jefferson is the only other player in the mix for playing time with significant experience in the secondary. "I think any corner in the NFL is hungry, especially if he's not known," Robinson said this week. "He's hungry to make himself known, and that's how we are as a unit. Not just with us three, but our entire secondary. We're hungry for that success. We're hungry to be the best." Missing of course is stalwart veteran Antoine Winfield, who was let go and is now with Seattle. Not only will the group be without his leadership, but his steady play and sure tackling will be hard to replace. Robinson has been asked to move inside to the slot in the nickel package on obvious passing downs, a spot he's never played before in his life. Cook and Robinson will start together in the base defense.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl fullback Jerome Felton will miss Friday's exhibition game against Buffalo, and perhaps the rest of the preseason, after having an emergency appendectomy.
i read about Jerome Felton and his surgery and missing the pre-season hope he gets well for the season..... secondary i can only hope they get better losing Winfield was a big loss IMO,Just hope the game slows down for Ponder and he's becomes more of a pocket passer
i'm lost for words here..the lack sharpness the looking like they could careless on offense,i know its pre-season games are going to look pretty bland..yeah D played ok,but c'mon Frazier its time to show you got what it takes ( Jarius Wright getting hurt was a WTF moment )
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson will make his first preseason appearance since 2011 when the Vikings face the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday in San Francisco, coach Leslie Frazier said Sunday.
now i have no idea what to expect..Frazier looked confused at the half during the Bills game,his post games comments are got to look at the film? Huh you are the Head Coach right,i hope they play Cordarrelle Patterson ( and no one gets injured )
We should see alot more from the offense and gauge more what they can do this Sunday night against San Francisco. NBC is carrying the game at 8pm eastern. Frazier has always givin me fits. Im not a big fan of his at all, but Im hoping for the best. Ponder should look WAY better with Peterson in the backfield. 49ers will probably key on stopping the run and that should leave Ponder to have a great passing game...right? Sounds simple enough, lets see if they can execute. Where's all the Vikings fans?
can't say except there are many very knowledgeable Vikings fans,maybe they will show up when the reg.season starts...fire Frazier at the end of this season he just seems lost and confused Ponder and his high passes are a nightmare,i think it was the first pass to Jennings all Ponder had to do was hit him in stride and he had his man beat TD and he missed him ( sigh ) TIME TO CUT THIS LAST STRING TO CHILLY!
the Seattle Seahawks have cut Antoine Winfield says he will retire,i hope he will do it as a Viking...and i hope Frazier makes him a coach he has alot of experience to help the secondary...when Ponder talks whats up with all the ah um he does that quite a bit so far IMO O-Line looking pretty suspect....to edit your post is very cool
According to multiple reports, the Minnesota Vikings claimed former Bears tackle J'Marcus Webb on Sunday.
