Minnesota Run D (1 Viewer)

[Thomsen]

Vikings are without the Williams wall, Ray Edwards (good run stopper as well) lost depth at the LB position and don't look strong at SS. Should we consider them a bad matchup for our RBs anymore?

they werent a bad matchup last year

 

[Funkley]

Pat Williams sucked last year and the LB's, imo, are better now with Erin Henderson and Griffin getting time. Guion is an upgrade over Pat Williams. What will hurt is losing Kevin Williams the first two weeks. Vikings werent all that tough against the run last year though.

Doesnt matter, you can pass on them all day long. Rivers might go for 400 Sunday.

I'd say they'll be about slightly better then average as a run D, and a little better then that as a goal line rush D.

What year is this?

I don't fear the rush as much as I do the pass. Rivers, Gates, and V Jackson will be sitting pretty after week 1.

Nice icon, griff321. Had a Hell lager just last night. As for the Vikes I predict a shaky start on both sides of the ball with the higher chance of a Chargers rout than you might otherwise think, but that's just the gut talkin'.
