Vikings vs Jets

The Good- Daunte Culpepper who looked poised and was spreading the Ball around.

Pat Williams-The Run D was good tonight, and big Pat kept getting big pushes.

Travis Taylor-Moving into the starting lineup, and making a tough third-down catch in traffic.

The O-Line Pass Blocking: Run Blocking is a total different story but without Liwenski and Birk they actually blocked on passing downs quite well.

The three three and outs on Defense in the first half, again the other two series were beyond attricious.

Troy Williamson-Two big catches, and a good first performance before the injury bug got him. He's no Moss, but I was pleased.

Rod Davis-I like him as a football player, he did a nice job in the Middle in the second half.

The Bad-
Brian Williams-The way he got burned on two touchdowns, getting beat by 5 yards on the Coles one, and falling down on the other one.

The Broadcasting-They often had no idea people might be intrested in getting breakdown of the game, and instead liked to ask players Generic questions.

The D-Line-When they were blitzing they still were not putting on pressure. I should note that Kevin Williams hasn't looked all that good in the first two games.

Penalities-This needs no explaination, if it wasn't for penalities, Daunte Culpepper might have led the Vikings to scores on Every Drive.

Adrian Ward-Three pass interference penalties?

Special Teams-Let's see a botched onside kick since someone was offsides, a missed field goal, a long punt return by the Jets, and a fumbled punt return.

Micheal Bennett- In all fairness to Bennett, the Run Blocking was horrible, the one time he had a sliver of daylight in went for about 5 yards. But speed backs need great O-lines, this helped Robert Smith immensly. Although Smith had better vision than Bennett. I hope Mewelde Moore who had a medicore ypc tonight, gets some action with Daunte on the field next week. Moore fought for yards, and got what was there. Bennett would just get crushed.

Brad Johnson: Yikes. Shaun Hill after the Vikings tied the score really yikes, although in Hill's defense all the position players out their with him, should be cut this week.

Overall: I had a good taste in my mouth till those two horrible possesions on Defense in the second quarter, then the sloppy play at the start of the Second Half was too much. Troy Willamson, and the Reserve D brighened my day though. At least, the Twins won.
