Keys to beating the Vikes

1. Stop the Run (CT + AP -> Chasing Tacklers All Day).
2. Run the Ball (their two defensive tackles are starters on the pro bowl roster).

Exactly....I wasn't toooo impressed with the Vikings last night with the Bears hanging tough on a game the Vikings should of dominated. At this point of the season it's all about heart and confidence, hopefully they will wilt and question themselves, Skins are on a roll. Obviously stopping AP is the key, that guy is incredible...seems like he can switch to full speed on a dime. At least it doesn't seem like they do the screen play to him like Westbrook killed us. I hope we force them into passing...that QB will throw at least one pick....I don't know how much chance CP has against that run defense.....we should pull out the play action and dump offs to Cooley and Randle El. We need the lead early, shut up that crowd and take control...GO SKINS!....

the defence has got to shut down peterson and taylor...that's the key. and i'll be there to see the game. sec. 105 row 17 seat 13... i can't wait my first game since 80 or 81 and with collins running the offence we're back in the playoff race.

So I am bored and I compiled a list of keys to beat the Viks

1)Get ahead early and keep on it!-This is the most important thing because what I got from the game is T.Jackson is not a good passer. We need to get up and do it quick so the Viks are forced to play catchup. This will make Jackson throw alot, and make mistakes. We cannot let A.Peterson control this game.

2)Stop the run-Easier said than done. Take the Bears for example, they just played gaps well and did not over-pursue. We need to work on that because I feel like our D does over pursue at times.

3)Establish our run game-I mean we all saw last game. TC cannot play a 25+attempt passing game. he doesn't have the arm for it, and we need to help him with the run.

Good luck trying to run against Minn. It's not going to work. Collins can handle 25 + attempts if we can protect him. We will be playing indoors instead of 30 mile an hour winds. Moss and Cooley should be able to have big days.

I trust GW & co on this one. Usually they do a pretty good job of identifying the opponents strengths and eliminating them.

As for the O...score in the red zone...put up TD's as opposed to FGs.

The keys to the game against the Vi-Queens.

1) Stop the run. They cannot let Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor get to the second and third levels. They need solid gap control and pursuit to the ball. Make Tavarius Jackson beat them. If I was Greg Williams, this would be the week that I would empty my bag of blitzes.

2) Have a good mix of pass and run. Pass on first down. Keep the Vi-Queen defense off-balance.

3) The offensive line needs to continue to open up holes for the running game and provide protection for Collins.

4) Blitz...blitz...and then blitz some more. Chase Jackson down like he was a 9/11 hijacker.

the key to the game. is to just win the damn game by any means necessary
