They fill the box to stop him. That is done. They also lost their LT for the year so an already bad oline just got worse. They were ok without AP in 2014 but if you looking closer at the numbers they were quite weighted by Patterson and Bridgewater. Asiata was their lead back and averaged 3.5 ypc. McKinnon could be the guy as he had a nice average that year but is he an everyone down back and is this oline able to run block?Bradford looked very good Sunday and so did Diggs but they are running out of other weapons. The Vikings could definitely win the division still but they are now so thin on the oline and really on offensive play makers. Zimmer is a very good coach so the team will play really hard and that defense will win them games but I think these two losses will hurt more than people think.  I was listening to Minnesota sports radio and the guys were talking about even post Peterson the Vikings finishing 12-4. That seems high to me.</blockquote>
