ORIGINAL: David F. Daniele Hunter will give us some pass-rush back and he's pretty good against the run as well. Michael Pierce is mostly an unknown. Assuming Pierce ends up being above average (sorry folks who in making excuses for the coaching staff have deemed him a sure fire first ballot HOFer - above average is what we can best hope for) getting the two of them back next season might help us get two more wins. If we miracle into competent guards (we need 2!) that could also help us win about two extra games. 10-6 won't beat the packers for the NFC North. We'll have Barr and Kendricks at linebacker and that's going to have to be enough. We're going to need to have luck with replacing Harris and we're going to have to hope Hughes is decent at CB. Dantzler needs to be promoted to CB1 and Gladney needs to be coached up to at least average. Cleveland, magical competent G, Bradbury, magical competent G, and O'Neil can't have any injuries. Our offensive skill positions will be our greatest strength. Coaching will need to realize that and not start running out the clock in the third quarter when we're already down by six. Our roster dictates that we'll need to engage in shootouts. I won't hold my breath. This who the Vikings will be with this regime in charge. Conservative with hit/miss drafting that mostly misses while continually trading out of spots to take better players. If the Wilfs don't fire Spielman and Zimmer after years of inconsistent, low-ceiling performance, this is unlikely to ever change. I don't agree.....the one thing having injuries to some of the core players.....it shows you the guys you can cut. Rudy, (Conklin & Irv getting time), Wonnum has been a beast at times with Hunter out, Dantzler & Gladney have been good (Hill, Hughes), Dye and Harris have received time because of Barr/Kendricks injuries. The problem with this regime has been holding on and letting previous starters hold positions .....have to bring in young guys constantly and play them. Not surprised. You have historically slurped up everything management has offered. The Wilfs are horrible owners when it comes to actually fielding championship contending teams, and they extended a GM and Head Coach with zero reason to do so at that time. They can eat the contracts, and they should. If they don't clean house, they're content to ride the middling merry-go-round ad nauseum. Is it somehow illegal to make the playoffs two years in a row?
