Vikings vs Saints postgame

Here are the grades

Quarterback- A -When Daunte was ineffective it was because of very poor pass blocking, to the tune of six sacks. With the way Daunte has played the last two weeks I will be generous and give him an a

Running Back- B I had stated numerous times I wanted Mewelde Moore starting, not only was I proven right, but he had 101 yards rushing. He's not very good as a pass-blocker. I wonder if Moe Williams skills are starting to decline. But this was a big improvement.
Wide Receiver- B+ Troy Williamson had a great game, Travis Taylor had a couple touchdowns, Jermaine Wiggins is so reliable. Koren Robinson had that great return.
Offensive Line- C They really struggled with pass-blocking at the end of the first half, and first part of the Second Half. They run blocked as well as they had. They still aren't good, but they are improving.
Defensive Line-B+ Pat Williams controls the middle like no one they have. Scott, Udeze, and Johnstone all had sacks. Kevin Williams is still disappointing. They did a pretty good job putting pressure on.
Linebacker-C- Donatarrious Thomas and Napoleon Harris both struggled in Pass Coverage. They attacked the middle too much all day. This was the weak link of the Vikings today. Keith Newman playing well.
Defensive Back- A- I loved how they blitzed coverage liablities like Brian Williams, and Wille Offord constantly. Winfield, and Smoot played well. Ralph Brown was kind of hit or miss. But I really liked their performance, overall.
Special Teams-A- Chris Kluwe is going to be a Pro-Bowler sometime, Paul Edinger made three field goals, and had some nice kickoffs. Koren Robinson had a nice return. They had a coverage break down, but the touchdown was called back because of a bogus call. But then the Saints later scored thanks to a bogus call in their favor. But good game.
