Vikings Post Game

I was wrong.

The Vikings running game exceded expectations. I said a good running game is over 120 yards, and over 4.2 yards per carry. The Vikings 37 carries for 160 yards. A 4.3 yards per carry average. Brad Johnson doesn't have a strong-arm but he made the huge throw to Koren Robinson to win the game. NC State represented tonight with Devonte Edwards and Brian Williams. The Vikings dominated in the running game 14 carries for 21 yards for the Packers. I don't know that people are going to run their mouth about Sam Gado anymore-10 Carries-7 yards, and a fumble that wasn't recovered. The D-Line has improved a lot. Big plays by just about every member of the D-line. I would give my gameballs to Devonte Edwards, for his touchdown, and his pass defended that forced that a Packer field goal in the 4th quarter. Mewelde Moore would also get a game-ball obviously. I would also give props to: Jim Kleinsasser, Adam Goldberg, Bryant McKinnie, Erasmus James, Ralph Brown, Brian Williams, and Pat Williams-of course. The Vikings had a team effort-tonight.

Grades

QB- B Brad Johnson doesn't have much of an arm, but he did make plays in the second half, to overcome an erratic First half

RB- A- Mewelde Moore seemed to find holes, and attack in the second half. He was huge tonight.

WR- B- Koren Robinson is their best receiver. Jermaine Wiggins keeps making big plays. Kleinsasser was a stud as a blocker.

OL- B+ They were terrible in the first half, but they were great in the second half.

DL- A- See Above

LB- B I couldn't really complain about anything they did, so that's a good game for them.

DB- A- That terrible decision by Winfield led to the second Driver touchdown, otherwise Favre had to make tight throws all night. But Winfield, Williams, Edwards, and Brown were all good, so the secondary gets props.

ST- B Edinger missed that field goal in the first , but made the game winner. Koren Robinson almost broke a kick-off, and their kick coverage was pretty good.

I'm calling it a night.
