[QUOTE="vikesrule, post: 136264, member: 595"] gopackgo, retiredgrampa, rundemc, and porky88, I appreciate your thoughts. Some good perspective. Obi1, thanks for the spelll check. Glad that you are not "to be stir things up" :roll: Save the Bovine ***** Matter for the smack section. With that said, "contending with the Packers" is not important. The Vikings are contending with too many other problems right now. Just on the "O" #1: The O-Line wasn't doing it's job well. Hicks and Johnson looked more like turnstiles and McKinnie struggled with speed guys. Brad Johnson seldom had time to make multiple reads, or for receivers to get open. Putting Jackson in, added to that available time via his mobility, but it also meant that a unpolished small-school kid got subjected to a lot of heat out of the chute. #2: Our Receivers weren't getting open, and weren't making plays when they did. The primary blame lies with Troy Williamson. In his second year as a pro, Troy had yet to master the basic concept of "Catch the ball". His inability to do so diminished Brad Johnson's confidence in him. Travis Taylor and Marcus Robinson were the only two to be productive. #3: Everything we see comes straight from Brad Childress...and it's not pretty. Aside from a handful of trick plays, Childress has shown a stunning lack of imagination in play calling. Couple that with our receiver's inability to catch, and you have a recipe for 2 kinds of plays; A: Run Chester Taylor B: Short dump off passes. This team was put together intentionally to be a short pass/running team. They told us that all pre-season. They came right out and said it, over and over. No deep threat, and all the other teams knew it. #4: The QB issue is totally up in the air. The O-Line needs to be solidified, the WR Corps needs to be rebuilt, and a real Offensive Coordinator needs to be brought in, and Brad Childress needs to NOT CALL PLAYS. He needs to over see the game, not micromanage it. At this point, I am not a big Chidress fan. Chilly needs to wake up, or the next season could be his last. I will save the "D' issues for later. Always Purple !!!! :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
