I still can't believe Minnesota's injury list. Is Harrison Smith playing this week?

I doubt it. The Vikes were hoping that he could come back for the playoffs if they made it, at the earliest.

the most important game of the season so far. as of now the weather forecast calls for mostly cloudy and low 30s. they're trending down, we're trending up...therefor i predict another divisional nail biter. bradford has the highest completion percentage i believe. can't play soft like we did yesterday. i don't want us to blitz much. i don't want us to play much zone either. blitzing leaves us shorthanded in the back and zone allows bradford to get the passes off quickly to open guys. play tight man and make him hold the ball a tick or two longer. maybe the rush can get to him.

[Fritz]

I like blitzing . . . when it works. Several times yesterday, I heard the announcer say "Packers come on a blitz....the Bears pick it up....Barkley has time..."

My least favorite defense is the three-man rush, however. I hate that shit.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Vikes OL is bad, hopefully we won't have to blitz as much to get pressure.

[Fritz]

I hope Nick Perry plays, and that Matthews doesn't play unless he's really healing.

And give ol' Dean Lowry a few more snaps. That dude seems to be able to pressure the QB. Just don't let Adrian Peterson go scooting by you on your way to Bradford...

[denverYooper]

We hit Bradford a lot in Minnesota. He just kept hitting passes. I don't think that happens at home and outdoors.

[pbmax]

I would blitz the bejesus out of the Vikes injury plagued O line.

[Teamcheez1]

You guys all hit the nail on the head. If we can pressure and get to Bradford, we will win this game.

Unfortunately if Perry plays he'll prob have to wear a club on that hand so he'll be about as effective as Clay has been.

and he looked like Rodgers back there. so why do it? keep them in coverage.

didn't watch the min nyg game. did they blitz? bet they didn't have to because the giants secondary plays man and are very good.

i say save him for later if possible.

A separated shoulder is more debilitating than a clubbed-up hand.

[hoosier]

A separated shoulder is more debilitating than a clubbed-up hand.

A month after the separation happens and with professional rehab, CMIII might be closer to being able to play with two hands than Perry. Depends on how bad the separation was.

Spoken like an old man who would know such things.

The only problem with all that blitzing is that you leave yourself open to Adrian Peterson. And some screens and such to Stefon Diggs, who make Damarious Randall look silly last time anyway.
