Re: Vikings Pre game thread
Offense
I believe the Skins will have problems with the Vikings pass rush. They're going to miss TW.
To alleviate this expected problem, I would like to see the Skins take the approach that the Colts took last week against the Packers. Andrew Luck looked for his first option and if it wasn't open he threw the ball away. He did not hold the ball. He lived to fight another down and avoided negative yardage.
Also, our OL, TE's, and, yes, even WR's have got to stop taking so many procedure penalties. This has hurt us throughout the season.
To net it out, avoid negative yardage on offense to win.
Defense
On defense, I think the key will be to get to Bradford early and often. That's because I think Bradford can be rattled and, although he has started the season well, his true identity is as a choke artist. If there was ever a game where exotic blitzes can rule the day, this is it. I would draw up something with S'ua Cravens on the first Vikings series, if not the first Vikings play - and I'd make sure they got the ball first.
They may run the ball on us a lot but they'll have to pass sometimes. I want Bradford to be scared every time he drops back to pass. Sooner or later, he'll panic and give us a key turnover.
