Post Game Thoughts

QB-F Second Straight Week, Daunte Culpepper was apprehensive. He didn't release the ball quick enough, and he had no touch when he did throw the ball. He couldn't find receivers at all. Daunte played like a bad NFL QB today.

RB-F Micheal Bennett-back to back fumbles takes away nice runs at the start of the day. He hurt the Vikings big time. Mewelde Moore was OK, but nothing special. I might start Ciatrick Fason next week, and give him a chance.

WR-C- They are the strength of the Offense. I might throw Koren Robinson in there more next week. Troy Williamson-O catches, and was brutal on kick returns. It is hard to evaluate them based on Culpepper and the Line's play.

OL-D-
Was slightly better, although they weren't all that good.

DL- D- They weren't that bad against the run, but the D-line did very little pressure wise. Pat Williams. The Defensive line got winded fairly early.

LB-D Didn't do that much. Their linebacker play wasn't the problem.

DB- F Why do the Vikings play the Cornerback's play ten yards of the line, then get picked apart. I just don't get there Defensive game planning. The safeties were non-existent.

Special Teams-D Kickoff returns were terrible, Keenan Howry adds nothing as a returner. Chris Kluwe is good though. I really can't evalaute Paul Edinger

Coaching F- They need to not only fire Mike Tice, but Steve Loney, and Ted Cotrell. They just aren't getting the job done. They are getting outschemed constantly. Scott Linehan was way more valuable than I realized.

Management-F I advised against keeping Mike Tice, and trading Randy Moss. But they still did both of these things. Zygii Wilf needs to fix this.
