I'm not sure how its pronounced? It is Michael? is it Micole (like Nicole?), is it My-Cole? I look forward to getting some clarification on that.PsyDanny wrote:

Thanks. That was a pretty good (and fair-minded) article, although I have to confess, it disappointed me that in all the talk about reduced explosiveness, the author never mentioned that Patterson was dealing with a hip injury for part of the season (seems like the kind of thing that might reduce an athlete's explosiveness). I don't recall seeing any mention of playcalling or Norv Turner either, despite comparisons between Patterson's production in 2013 and 2014. A change in coordinators and systems seems relevant to me.dead_poet wrote:Cordarrelle Patterson: What Happened?

Cordarrelle Patterson might have lost his starting wide receiver job for the Vikings in 2014, but he's in no danger of relinquishing his kick return duties, according to special teams coordinator Mike Priefer.
"In my mind, Cordarrelle Patterson's the best kick returner in this league, so it would be crazy for me to put someone else in that spot," Priefer said after Thursday's organized team activities at Winter Park.
Great to hear. I think Patterson will be back as a dangerous returner.Mothman wrote:http://www.twincities.com/vikings/ci_28 ... r-nfl-mike
"(Patterson) is running good routes, he's working hard," coach Mike Zimmer said. "So we just need him to continue to do those things and continue to keep getting consistent and keep improving. I've been impressed with the things that he's done."

Here's an article today from ESPN about his overall improvement:

I think they need to find that happy medium and work upward from there.In a larger scope, it's about attention to detail, keeping that attention and not relying so much on physical talent, which general manager Rick Spielman said this offseason.
But it's not about a 'return to his rookie form,' which some fans and media think when looking at statistics. It's about honing his craft to be a true NFL receiver for the first time. The Vikings have also said they want to do a better job of meeting Patterson halfway, by better manufacturing his touches after he was phased out of last year's offense.
