Hakeem, MJ, Barkley, Stockton... i dont have time to sit and research this theory, but star players often come in pairs...very rarely do you just see one amazing player in any such draft...there are other guys that are talented with impeccable work ethics...
I wonder if after that year people were arguing that Milicic was still a good pick. I could picture DD saying
Watching Aldon get to Brady damn near every pass play early on from the OLB shows how anemic our pass rush has been from that spot. Brady was running for his life.
If we win next week, JJ will certainly play no more than a quarter or two at Indy in the final week. Here's to JJ having a monster game pounding Ponder into the ground.
The Viking can't just play for Peterson getting the rushing record. They are currently a playoff team.
And if they want to make the playoffs they do best to take the ball out of Ponder's hands and give it to AP.
Agreed. Minnesota mostly dominated St. Louis today. They were up 33-7 in the 4th before the Rams got a couple of TDs to make the score more respectable. Still, Ponder threw it 24 times and was sacked twice. They were actually pretty balanced between the run and the pass. The Vikes are naturally going to pass it more if they're playing from behind. So if we want to give JJ a bunch of chances, we have to get up but at least a couple of scores and do so early.
Viking are likely to pound the rock, it is definitely going to take our offense and/or special teams to put this game WAY out of reach and for the defense to keep Peterson from scoring TDs early so that Watt has another chance at a multiple sack game. I sort of hope he doesn't get the record but is the closest one to it. More motivation for next season.
