Tuesday, August 12, 2008. First of all, excuse me for not posting for the last month, those of you who read this blog regularly. Unfortunately, the Vikes have suffered some significant injuries on defense. Heath Farwell and Jayme Mitchell are out for the season with busted knees. Like the last couple of years, we lost a linebacker with a knee injury in the first preseason game. What kind of curse is that? Madieu Williams' neck injury. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

virginia viking: August 2008
http://virginiaviking.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 18, 2008. So here we are, watching the Cleveland Browns getting pummeled by the New York Football Giants. 30-3 early in the second-quarter. Ouch. The Vikes' D-line got run-over by Julius Jones, Maurice Morris, and Ray Rice these past weeks. (God help them when facing any other running backs with alliterative appellations this season.) Pat Williams has shown his age. Backups Jayme Mitchell and Brian Robison are out-for-the-season and dinged-up, respectively. Tuesday, August 12, 2008.

virginia viking: purple rain, 7.15.2008
http://virginiaviking.blogspot.com/2008/07/purple-rain-7152008.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2008. Purple rain, 7.15.2008. Aside from calling a certain someone dirty-names-having-to-do-with-farm-animals. There are other things to talk about around the NFL in mid-July. For one, ESPN decided what Purple nation has known for some time now—that the Vikings will field the best defensive line in football. That line may have the chance to destroy a fragile Peyton Manning (fragile? Before that, however, the Vikings will make a cross-border trip for a Monday Night out. New Vikings trai...

virginia viking: June 2008
http://virginiaviking.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 20, 2008. The heat of the proverbial seat. But, the improvement of the three tight-ends—Kleinsasser, Shaincoe, and Mills—will be the linchpin of the offense in 2008. . We, the Purple faithful (who else would read this, anyway? Thursday, June 12, 2008. Depth is the most important aspect of a championship team. The NFL season is long and unpredictable—the team more able to play at a high level despite injuries or fatigue is the one able to win in February. The Vikings are a deep team. If we s...

virginia viking: meet the starting offense
http://virginiaviking.blogspot.com/2008/07/meet-starting-offense.html
Thursday, July 10, 2008. Meet the starting offense. While reading Defensive Indifference, where there's an excellent piece about the Top 20 Minnesota Vikings. 160;earlier this afternoon, a thought occurred to me. Which five offensive skill players make up the most versatile set? 160;That is, who should start? Here's my list: Adrian Peterson, Bernard Berrian, Sidney Rice, Bobby Wade, and Garrett Mills. . Here's why. This guy, though he's a 'tweener (too small f. Imagine what Adrian Peterson would do to s...

virginia viking: April 2008
http://virginiaviking.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2008. Peter King, over at. 160;writes a weekly column called "Monday Morning Quarterback," or "MMQB." I read it pretty much every week. And pretty much every week, it's an irritating experience in some way or another. I don't mean to sound snobbish (I will, anyway), but the banality of his blind love (and written adulation) of Starbucks hazelnut-lattes is neither poignant nor interesting. . 160;In a span of five days, the Vikings added the best available pass-rusher in football (.

virginia viking: more Favre drama
http://virginiaviking.blogspot.com/2008/07/more-favre-drama.html
Saturday, July 12, 2008. So, there's been a new development in Green Bay. The whiny ex-Packer quarterback formally requested his release from Green Bay via letter that arrived yesterday—the Dear John letter that must break so many hearts in Wisconsin. Who woulda thunk it? Than return to Green Bay as a backup to Aaron Rodgers. It also seems like Thompson and the rest of the Green Bay management won't let him play for any other team. Thank goodness we don't have to read Kevin Seifert, who now w...

virginia viking: Farve to the Vikings?
http://virginiaviking.blogspot.com/2008/07/farve-to-vikings.html
Sunday, July 6, 2008. Farve to the Vikings? So, the rumour mill has started grinding on this gem: Brett Favre, out of sheer reflex, feels that he should be playing football in July; the Packers are trying to get on with their lives—with Aaron Rodgers at QB—and so don't want him around; upon release (but certainly not trade), he signs with his rival of almost two decades, the Minnesota Vikings. How's that? And he's right to believe. He'll join the Vikings when International Falls heats up.
