Cordarrelle Patterson: NFC Special Teams Player Of The Month

[Purple bruise]

He's only been in the National Football League for four games, but Minnesota Vikings' rookie Cordarrelle Patterson already has an award for his mantle http://www.dailynorseman.com/2013/10/3/ ... -the-month

Kudos to Patterson who has a huge upside and will soon play a much larger role in the offense

Yep, saw that earlier and was pretty happy about it! Congrats to him!

Congrats to Cordarrelle Patterson! He deserves the award! I love watching him return kicks. Now if the Vikings would only throw the freakin' ball to him more often.

And throw more to Jarius Wright as well.

Does he deserve it though? I don't know about all that. Good for him I suppose, but there must not have been too many great performances then.

Patterson has been great on KR, but I thought someone else would definitely take home this award.

His one go-route catch was kinda sick.

Does he deserve it?? He leads the NFC in kick off return average ( 33.8 yds per return on 12 returns ) , is the only player to return a kick off for a td in the NFC (105 yds.) . Yeah I would say that he deserves it.

He definitely needs more field time. Why he isn't playing more often is mind boggling.

Pretty ridiculous, isn't it? For a reason unknown, other than idiocy, the coaching staff feels Patterson and Rhodes need to be slowly brought in.

*mind boggled*

What drives me nuts is the two TE alignment that we are so fond of--which means that Carlson sees the field instead of a 3 WR set in which CP84 is out there.

They didn't have a bottom five position ranking, so that's why you don't see more Vikings' names.

I think some people are misreading the title. ST player of the game. And he does deserve it. He is incredible. Not his fault they play Wright, Webb and Carlson instead of him.

No it's the fault of the beautiful minds of our coaching staff he isn't on the field more. Why don't we use 4 WR sets? That would pull 9-10 men out of the box and open up running lanes for AD

Christian Ponder is terrible.

Just thought I'd throw that in here since every thread eventually ends up that way. HaPpY FrIdAy!!!
