Thread: All Hail Rice!

We're doing something new at RF365, (where I write columns covering, among other things, our beloved Vikings) by adding a link at the bottom of the columns pointing RF365 Vikings readers over here to join the ranks of PPO faithful.

Here's the latest article, for those of you already looking for more Viking reading on a glorious 8-1 Monday morning:

Excellent (and well written) read my friend.

I will check them out.
Thanks.

I have to apologize to Mr. Rice for misspelling his first name in the article.

It's Sidney, not Sydney.

Sorry.

Good read.

What really impresses me is Rice's ability to make adjustments on underthrown balls.
I think the safeties have been cheating BB's way given his rep from last year and leaving the CB go 1-1 with the slower Rice.

I think that Rice's performances are going to start to cause D's a bit more anxiety on where to roll the coverage.
Can't keep a safety in the box if you have 2 deep threats and a TE down the middle.

Vikes passing game is becoming as scary as their running game.
I think skills and continuity (OL has 2 new guys) are on track to peak at playoff time!

Scarier is probably a better word.

I think a little of that is what led to AD's 133 yards last weekend. Too bad Buchanon got the ball on that long one...

I yelled out "Hold the ball in!" right before it got stripped and my wife & buddy almost kicked me out of the house for jinxing AD... that whole 'loaf of bread' thing has to stop.
