I like what I'm hearing! :grin:

I hate to jump on any band wagon, but I feel a deep playoff run on the horizon....
Re: "New Viking Thinks Positive"
With our new Defense and me getting NFL Sunday ticket for this season.. The wait for the season to start is very agonizing!
Re: "New Viking Thinks Positive"
I say #3 defense in the league if not #1
Re: "New Viking Thinks Positive"
I just hope our defense lives up to the hype and there is team chemistry now.
Re: "New Viking Thinks Positive"
I would have to agree with you Fred. I hope there is chemistry among all the new guys and they gel as a team. I think anything worse than a top 15 defense and it will be considered a bust of a year!

That is the big thing, we've got alot of new guys coming in, granted a couple of them are "big" names, but the whole deal is gonna be whether or not Teddie can put them all together. I would say even if we got to 15 this year, it would be a success, and I hope we can reach that and higher.
Re: "New Viking Thinks Positive"
I just hope we do not become complacent and rest on out laurels that we should be good, but they should realize that you have to still work hard to win
Re: "New Viking Thinks Positive"
Yeah, if we got to 15 that would be a pretty darn good defense!! I would take that in an instant! The thing I will worry about most this year is our linebacking corp again (even though the addition of Pdub should really help), and the stellar (sarcasm) tackling of Darren Sharper!
