Thread: Vikings pass on moments of truth

I agree with Caine... Our only weapons are Peterson, Harvin, and Rudolph... Two out of three are left. The receiving corpse is a joke...

Feed the Beast.

I like it, except there's only 1 problem with that plan, we can't even find 5 guys to block on a consistent basis so where are we going to get 10?

Jerome Simpson, 5 years, 25 starts, 86 Rec, 1,180 Yds, 13.7 Avg, 7 TD, 1 Somersault
Troy Williamson, 5 years, 24 starts, 87 Rec, 1,131 Yds, 13.0 Avg, 4 TD, 0 Somersaults

Coincidence?

Yikes! Scary stuff. I bet the drops are similar too, so I guess it all comes down to somersaults, and Simpson is clearly better. Don't forget he has pretty good hurdling abilities too.

so is the QB

The biggest problem we have with the WR's is the fact that we dont have #1 receiver. Simpson and Harvin are both # 2's. Wright and Childs, #2's. Aromas and Jenks are #3's. Tough duty, huh? Vikes need a top flight #1 WR.

Dammit Beavis. I didnt say that was the only thing we needed. I thought this was about WR's? Was my statement true or untrue? Was that the only piece of the puzzle that the Cards needed when they drafted Fitz? I assume that is who you talking about. We also could upgrade at other positions. Offense and defense.

If Ponder is throwing short of #2 & #3 receivers down field, what leads you to believe he won't throw short of a #1?

not to mention wide open RBs who beat the defender down the left sideline
