Vikings/Browns Post Game

Grades-

QB- B+ Brad threw that one pick. They weren't real explosive on Offense, and were helped by turnovers but they put up 24 points.

RB- C Ciatrick Fason made a couple nice runs today. Mewelde Moore was ok, but the blocking struggled.

WR- B I really don't know what has happened to Nate Burleson, and Troy Williamson. Though Travis Taylor had a nice day, and Marcus Robinson had three touchdowns.

OL- B- The line was uneven, they didn't block the run all that well, but they blocked well on third and short. They did pass block, pretty well. I am going to defend Marcus 5 penalty Johnson he did block fairly well when he was in there.

DL- B+ They were terrific in the second half. CJ Moseley who during the draft I was calling for about three rounds like a nut had a huge game two sacks along with a forced fumble, along with big Pat Williams. 4 sacks all in the second half, I believe. Lance Johnstone had a couple sacks, they were ok in the first half. But they were A in the second half.

LB- B EJ Henderson has become a good football player, the linebacking core has been solid. Cowart, Thomas, and Newman were solid. Newman had a sack and forced a fumble.

DB- B+ They had three picks, and allowed one meaningless touchdown. My only complaint was they were playing 10 yards off on 3 and short in the first half. Antoine Winfield and Darren Sharper are studs.

ST-C- Chris Kluwe was OK. Edinger did make that long field goal, but was shaky on kickoffs. Not their best game on special teams, with two long returns.

Game Ball- Pat Williams

Props-CJ Moseley, Darren Sharper, Antoine Winfield, EJ Henderson, Keith Newman, Darrion Scott, Marcus Robinson, and Brad Johnson.
