Thread: Ted Cottrell on KFAN yesterday

Did anyone hear Ted Cottrell on KFAN yesterday? He was being interviewed by Chad Hartmann on Chad's afternoon show. They were talking about the Vikes’ D, obviously, and Chad asked him how he felt about the D this year, and he said he EXPECTS them to DOMINATE this year! Chad then asked “What makes you think that?” and Ted said flat-out “I don’t think, I KNOW. Just by how they look, how hard they’ve been working.” MAN DOES THAT SOUND PROMISING, EH? I just think we’re going to have such a good year defensively, probably the best in 20 years! Not since the Keith Millard days, anyway!

SKOL!!!!!!

Thanks Skockzilla, I wish I would have heard it. Hartmann is a anti -homer, he tries so hard not to favor the local teams that he has become a pessimist.

Back in 1998 when Red said that he didn't see a loss on the schedule Hartmann and Barrerio(?) lambasted him, said Red was predicting we would go undefeated, but what he ment was that there wasn't a team on our schedule we couldn't beat. As you know we end 15-1 and almost went undefeated, damn Bucks!

That would have been nice to hear but it was even better coming from a Viking fan thanks shockzilla

Yeah the D-Line has been lacking the last few years. I think this year looks promising.

Williams gave us our first 10+ sack individual effort since 99'

Hope that the front can be more like the 89' front with Doleman 21 sacks, Millard 18.0, Noga 11.5, Thomas 9.0

Hovan has had a few sub par years imo, but I guess when your secondary doesn't give you time then there aren't going to be very many sacks.

I think this year looks very promising

That '89 line was incredible!!

That line was also awesome on Tecmo bowl!!

Nice pic Del Rio..., do you perform?

Isn't Ted Cottrell the guy who does food on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"? He's one of your coaches?

Didn't Tice guarantee the playoffs last year? I wouldn't put much weight on what he "knows".

But it wasn't tice that said it, it was Ted Cottrell. And Cottrell has had some damn good defenses in his day. I think it is awesome that he is giving our guys some respect for the hard work they've put in. I don't think he would of said it if he didn't truely believe it!
