The good thing about going against the Vikings is that they don't have a TE who will hurt our safties. With Collins out and Bigby in a bit of a slump right now that would have been a tough cover.
However, Bigby is very good against the run and stacking him in the box with Harris and Woodson pressing against their recievers I think we have a great shot at containing him. I see us playing 8 in the box pretty regularly and KGB not very involved in the game. Jenkins hopefully finds a way to push the oline around and let Barnett and Hawk make the plays. If we want to win we need to tackle AP on the first chance, we can't let him break tackles and get into the second level.
Our offense however should flourish vs the Vikes. Jones and Jennings should be running up and down the field with Lee and Driver opening up the middle and flats. A few slants to Jennings and Driver will set up big plays downfield.
My projected offensive stats-
Favre 28-40 375 2td 0 int.
Grant 14 carries 46 yards
Driver 7 catches 80 yards.
Jennings 4 catches 85 yards TD
Jones 3 catches 70 yards TD
