Vikings-Seahawks Thoughts
*The first team Defense has surrended touchdowns, the last three times they have been on the field versus First-Team Offenses. Although it was a real nice throw that it got done by Hasselbeck they were struggling before that. Will Tampa Bay score every time they get the ball a week from Sunday, probably not. But I expect Tampa despite their weak O-line to score about 24 points Sunday and that's not real good. Safeties seem to be constanly out of position, their pass-rush has been no existent with the first team D. Even the corner play hasn't been all that good. You can't run up the middle versus the Vikings, but their are other areas to attack. unless they break out all sorts of new looks versus Tampa Bay , I see trouble on D.
*The O-line keeps improving week by week. Other than not picking up Lofu Taputu in the first quarter on a blitz, they held up in pass protection fine. They also made a few nice blocks in the running game, led by Marcus Johnson.
*My concern with Daunte Culpepper isn't that he will not be able to attack a base-defense. But he runs into problems when teams throw all sorts of looks against him (ex vs Redskins last year,) He is going to be thrown a lot of different things versus Tampa in 2 weeks. So we will see then.
*Ciatrick Fason did impress me with his hard-running style. I could see him being a nice-change of pace back down the line.
*If the Vikings kickoff coverage doesn't improve it will cost them a close game or two!!!
*Here is who should have made the team last-night: Will Hunter, CJ Mosley (Keep him over Martin, since they should really rotate Spencer Johnson in a lot, and Mosley has more long term potential), and Rod Davis.
*Darren Bennett, Yikes. I would go with Travis Dorsch but what do I know.
*Shaun Hill what a play to win the game.
Should Nat Dorsey make the team? Yes, even though he had three-holding penalties, and strguggled hering the crowd noise. It wasn't since he got beat so much, as he was late in reacting. I have seen Dorsey make quite a few nice blocks. He offers more than Shannon Snell as a back-up tackle. Unless, they can find someone on the waiver wire better.
Should Kelly Campbell make the team? Yes, he offers more at Wide Receiver than either Ryan Hoag, or Keenan Howry. Neither of those guys offers much in the return game.
Who should return Punts and Kicks? Kelly Campbell, Troy Williamson is just too valuable. I would team Mewelde Moore with Kelly on kickoffs.
I will give intial thoughts for Tampa, and last cut report sometime in the next few days.
