Thread: Vikings Greenway is tearing it up

http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/12447306.html

One of the most meaningful moments in Chad Greenway’s season didn’t happen on the field but in the locker room, where E.J. Henderson, in the midst of a standout season, approached his fellow Vikings linebacker.

“He said compare my first season to his and it wouldn’t even be a competition,” Greenway said of a conversation that took place a month ago. “That gives me the confidence that I’m making the right strides. And coming from a guy in contention for a Pro Bowl spot, that’s great to hear...”

The linebackers have really turned it up this year. It's been essential for the rise of this defense. I can't say enough about it. The way Henderson, Greenway, and Leber are playing is like a monsoon in a drought-stricken region.

me too.. i love the play of all of are line backers this year... ej deserves to be in the pro bowl

Greenway, though, has started all 13 games and is second on the team to Henderson with 105 tackles

So far, Greenway has two interceptions, four pass breakups, three tackles for a loss, three forced fumbles and six quarterback hurries, and he leads the team with four fumble recoveries

Pretty decent imo.

He sure has done good. And in some way it's still his rookie year playing

I bet that next year both Greenway, and EJ will be in the pro-bowl. It's just good to see Greenway playing up to the ability that made him a number 17 pick.

i wouldn't put money on that bet.
It would be nice yes, but there are a lot of solid players out there, and some often get over looked if they're not known well enough to get the neccesary votes

True, but if we make even modest improvement in our pass defense, along with our strong run D, people will take notice. But there is alot of good players out there, but having a dominant defense will get folks attention.

I think Greenway is a great player.
He has also shown steady improvement this year in his game.

Our whole D has taken their part but the run has done their part with the
linebackers stepping in the right places cudos to the LBs thanks you guys and the WWC we love you! SKOL VIKES and PP.O
