Vikings Post Game Grades
Grades
Quarterback- B- People might think this seems generous, but Brad didn't turn the ball over, despite a vicious hit from Gibril Wilson in the second quarter. He did lead the Vikings on a game-winning drive. At the same time, he didn't have much for pass protection.
Running Back- F 21 carries for 12 yards in the running game. They didn't really do much in the passing game either. In all fairness, the run blocking wasn't there.
Wide Receiver-D+ They did make plays at the end of the game, but other than that they never seem to get that open. Nate Burleson looks like a medicore wide receiver, and why don't they have Koren Robinson and Travis Taylor out there.
Offensive Line-D Terrible all-around in the first half, in the second half they did alright versus the pass. They need to vastly improve from yesterday's performance to have any sort of chance.
Defensive Line- B- At times they put very little pressure on. They did ok versus the run 29 for 124. But never any run more than 14 yards. They put on sporatic pressure, but they kept batting balls down. This was a somewhat uneven performance but good enough to win.
Linebacker-C Sam Cowart and EJ Henderson made a few nice plays versus the run. They didn't do a lot versus the pass, and were out of position some versus the run.
Defensive Back-A Antoine Winfield, Darren Sharper, and Brian Williams all had good games. The way they slowed down Jeremy Shockey, and Plaxico Burress. Forced Eli Manning to do things, he didn't want to do. This led to drops, and bad decisions. Which in turn led to 5 picks.
Special Teams- A- I should really give them an A but they did give up a long punt-return, and missed two field goals.
Coaching- C Ted Cotrell had a very good Defensive game plan, the offense seemed to have no clue what they were doing.
