What does Teddy have to do to win qb job?

Okay so we have heard a lot from Coach Zimmer and Turner about how great Teddy has been during OTAs and Training Camps, but what does he have to do during the preseason games to win the starting QB job for the opening game against St. Louis? I personally think that as long as he can keep moving the ...

Re: Vikings release first 'unofficial' depth chart

Brinkleeey! :wallbang: Hopefully that changes by the time the regular season rolls around. :( I don't see why there is so much hate for Brinkley. He is very good at stopping the run which coach Zimmer likes in his MLB and he most likely will play on 1st and 2nd downs and then get switched out for C...

I keep hearing good things about Crichton and Floyd during training camp. Hopefully they both pan out well during the regular season get a couple of sacks and help us win some games.

Re: AD on Predictability

Totally agree with AD on the predictability part. Under Musgrave and before Favre we would constantly run the ball on 1st and 2nd down, pass on 3rd down, and the defenses knew exactly what we were doing. Hopefully under Norv we start to throw more on 1st and 2nd downs so that defenses don't know wha...

Re: Could Kyle Rudolph break out under new Vikings OC Turner

Kyle is a great player, but yet again, this is simply the case of the team paying for potential - just as they did with Griffen. I know we don't know all of the details yet, but this seems as though we have overpaid. I actually think it is very good that we signed him now rather than waiting till t...

Re: Greenway at MIKE?

I don't think Greenway will play the Mike lb spot. I think that Brinkley or Cole is gonna start at Mike and Greenway will play weakside.

Re: Sidney Rice retires

This makes me even more glad that we didn't resign him. He was mediocre throughout his entire career except for the one season with favre. "That being said - Rice really screwed this team over by waiting to get surgery. I honestly don't feel like our team would have been nearly as bad in 2010 h...

Re: Worst loss in Viking History

2009 loss to saints in nfc championship game. I thought for sure we were going to win the game and we didn't. I haven't rewatched the game since and i dont ever plan on watching it again.

Re: What to expect???

I voted for slight chance because everyone has a slight chance to make the playoffs each year. I think that if we get consistent QB play from Cassel and Teddy and we have a top 15 defense then we have a slight chance of reaching the playoffs. However, if we continue to have inconsistent QB play and ...

Re: How will Vikings use Anthony Barr?

If I were Zimmer, I would have Barr as the weak-side base blitzer, Greenway the base strong-side, and Mauti/Cole/Brinkley as the base Mike. In nickel, I would kick out Greenway and Mauti/Cole/Brinkley and put in Gerald Hodges at strong side and keep Barr as the weak-side blitzer. I am really curiou...

Re: Report: Vikes looking to "get rid of" AP (AD)

This is just another ridiculous rumor similar to Manziel going in the top 5. These reporters have nothing better to do then to make up a story and hope that they are right. No way we get that much because the RB position is so devalued. A first and 3rd at most. There is no way that Spielman and the ...
