Been waiting for that one for days. Not a while lot of new info. I expected NFL.com to at least have a different prespective than all of the OTHER beat writers.

Brad Childress takes over in Minnesota after honing his skills as the Eagles' offensive coordinator. However, don't expect the Vikings to use the West Coast offense. Childress will attempt to use a power running game and a downfield passing game to re-ignite the Minnesota passing game.

Um...
8) Huh...?

I guess the Silverman doesn't pay much attention to what happens in the NFL, which is kinda funny since he writes for NFL.com.
Maybe it's that the Vikings are kepping it a closely guarded secret that they are going to run a WCO!
I know I only heard about it 6 months ago, and have only read 30 maybe 40 articles that have mentioned it but you know they are trying to keep it hush hush.
