Jared Allen

[bobblehead]

I'd just be happy with Clifton stuffing his ass all game long

Hopefully, he can repeat last year's performance.

Only Allen will be playing alongside a totally different line. Besides the Vikings could run Allen on stunts and send him through the turnstile of an interior line the Pack has.

No doubt Clifton is a great LT, but there are schemes to work around that. Besides that is one player (Allen) to be concerned with. If ARod continues with his "deer in the headlights" look he has shown while being blitzed this preseason, Allen will be the least of ARod's concerns.

You mean like that one where he was "in the headlights" and lofted that bomb down the sidelines to ruvell??

If you are speaking of the pass against the Bengals then you need a new TV. That was a great adjustment by Martin but not a great pass by ARod.

Read the blitz, identified the isolated reciever down the sideline and made a deep pass for his reciever to make a play on....that is what a QB does, it doesn't have to be 40 yards on the money every time. My point was that he wasn't a "deer in the headlights" but calm, made a read and executed.

You seem to put a lot of stock in the preseason. Does this mean you think your Viking run defense is going to be awful? The starters have been giving up lots of big runs.

So? He will still be lined up 1-on-1 vs Cliffy like last year.

It's a team sport kid. I highly doubt they were one on one the whole game. Double teams are huge factors in blocking. There could have been double teams coming from within the line or from TEs, even chipping RBs. Now it's a "pick your poison" deal with the Vikings D line. Who will you double team? And the way the Pack's interior O line looks it appears a simple stunt by Allen would put ARod on his butt.

By your logic, all the Vikings would have to do is run the ball at Brandon Chillar every time he is in the game. Since he only got one tackle against the Vikings the last time they met, if the Vikings run the ball 10 times at him it should equal 9 touchdowns.

It appears to be an area of concern right now for the Vikings.

My guess is that you will see that same exact pass a few times this year. When you that big of a mismatch in size, teams often throw behind to negate any potential help by a saftey. Plus, the DB often gets a PI flag and has almost no chance at the ball.

Re: Jared Allen

Says he has a picture of ARod in his locker, and if he doesn't sack him 5 times, he will consider it a failure.

Thoughts?

He wants to sack him?
