You may have forgotten but last year, in the Vikings win over Atlanta, their running backs had 38 carries for 213 yards. The Vikes had a big game passing too but it wasn't a game in which they made their running game a secondary concern so they could "dominate through the air". They had a balanced offensive attack with great production from their running and passing game.

Should Norv move Teddy outside the pocket. He should take Teddy out of his pocket and let Teddy have some fun.

The question becomes who do you focus this offense around more? Teddy or Adrian? The Vikings coach seems fairly intelligent and I believe A.P. is your biggest star; Bridgewater seems to have issues reading the field and with confidence. Furthermore, your coach has told Bridgewater to take more strikes downfield.

I would trust your coach and his decisions...

Overall, I'd say yes.
