Tell me that's not a rock freaking solid trio. In fact, show me a better left side in this league.

I think Hutchinson's impact was far greater than anybody expected. I laughed when the Vikings gave him $7M a year, now I'm definitely not laughing.
No, that post was not in jest. Clearly the Vikings have found a wall that will be tough to get around.

My point was to respond to people who dismiss the poor performance of the D-line because they faced great offensive linemen. Using that logic, when do the excuses stop? ...

"Dallas has great receivers, we weren't going to be able to shut them down."

"The Giants have good pass rushers. What? Did you think we were going to be able to protect Brunell today?"

"Atlanta has a strong running game. You didn't honestly believe we were going to stop them, did you?"


At what point can we rely on the players we've collected to answer all of the "great" opponents they'll face this season? Isn't that the whole reason we signed Andre Carter to a nice contract? To help out the pass rush? to me, that sounds like we'll only be able to count on him if the guy he's lined up against is a slug.
