FML...
It's a new day! A new era is upon us....for some reason I have much confidence in Teddy B. From Arif's extensive scouting reports on him, that were impressive. To watching him in college, to the pre-season....to listening to him and those around him. What's not to like?
Vikings are gonna win this game, just watch. Zimmer knows how to call a defense, Norv better know how to exploit this sorry Falcon D! Teddy knows how to play QB. A quote from Felton- ''He doesn't really get overwhelmed,'' fullback Jerome Felton said. ''He works hard. He's humble. He comes prepared. So I think that's the biggest thing. He prepares himself well. He's in here early, leaves late, so he'll be just fine.''
I think we will go better than most people think,as long as the O Line can step it up we have a good chance!
I hope you're right. It just seems like this team has been dealt one crippling blow after another. Apart from (god forbid) a debilitating injury to Teddy, things have gone about as poorly as that possible could this year. Maybe it's the purple koolaid I'm drinking, or maybe its the extensive scouting reports that Arif was writing about Teddy back when it seemed like the Vikings didn't have a chance of getting him, but I do believe he's the best option the Vikings have had in years. Any player can turn out to be a bust, but Teddy has more ability and potential than Ponder ever displayed. At some point, it seems like the cream should rise to the top regardless of circumstances. Teddy will be the starter for the foreseeable future. I'm just hoping the team doesn't find a way to get him killed or ruin his career the way before it really get going. I admit I'm a pessimist, but damn, after 30 odd years of watching this team, don't I have a right to be?
Biggest thing that worries me is the O Line,especially with Fusco out! Ducasse is very poor IMO and Kalil really needs to find his mojo to keep Teddy from being hammered.
sure, things suck right now, but at least it isn't january and we've got vikings games to watch
No new posts for three days? No game preview from Arif? Did he leave your site?
arif, happy birthday!
(just saw it on twitter)
Oh...his birthday. Maybe Arif has been on a 5 day bender?
some guys have all the luck
Is everything okay with the VT staff? For Arif to go 8 hours without an article is rare but 5 days is unheard of!
I was wondering the same thing?
die phackers
die bares
mutilate each other to a tie
