Vikings' plan for J.J. Watt: 'Run the football right down his throat'

Right, some of the highlights, you can see he runs into a roadblock, then bounces back & takes it the other way. I'm sure his line helps, but they ain't seen Jj Watt & Antonio Smith yet.

Good point about the missed tackles. Has anyone gone back & watched the last three games, paying special attention to Danieal Manning? I think he's trying too hard. He's taken some bad angles & missed quite a few tackles.

I have noticed our safeties have been taking bad angles lately in the run support. At least I noticed it a few times. Almost as if they cant decide to attack at the los, or play it safe.... They pull up halfway there then they end up chasing the rb. Either commit to the hole hard and finish with fury, or take a safe angle at a slower pace.

I'd be careful how I spoke about "Viking girls"...

...just sayin...

If Ray Rice was a junior-sized burrito, what's Adrian Peterson on the menu? Seeking out the schoolyard bully on the first day of school to call him out is, I guess, one way to do things...could end badly, though.

Jack in the Box 2 tacos for 99 cents.

I kid...

I said it in another thread and that is if the Texans can keep Peterson somewhat in check (and by check I mean less than 180), the Texans will still win, barring Jared Allen lunging his helmet into Schaub's knee. The Texans' offense is way more balanced.

Sounds like Kubiaks strategy when we played NE. "Lets run the ball down Wilforks throat". Yeh Remember how well that worked?

We don't have a Wilfolk. We have a Cody without a Cushing behind him.

No we have a Watt. He is our best defender and if they want to run at him then I say bring it. If anyone is going to step up and except that challenge its Watt the best defensive player in the entire NFL.
