Week 05 Preview – Vikings – Saints
Posted by LOTGK on October 4, 2008
Childress Squeezing Blood From A Turnip
The Vikings travel to the Superdome this Monday night to face the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are clicking as quarterback drew Brees is off to another all pro season averaging over 300 yards per game and a 72% completion rate. And oh yea, only 4 sacks.
The Saints also get Duece back which will shore up the running game allowing the Saints to position Reggie Bush in many different looks.
But all is not well for the Saints. All pro receiver Colston is out, along with tight end Shockey. Still, expect to see Brees spread the ball around and put up big numbers as he has this season.
For the 1-3 Vikings, its all about faith at this point in the season. As in, do the players believe that coach Brad Childress can lead them to the promised land (Or at least out of their own zip code) or does the season go to hell in a hand basket?
Seriously, (I kid you not, I mean seriously) the offense must show up and click early Monday night or the entire team will shut down. If the Vikings go three and out the first and second time they have the ball, the Saints will blow them out.
Bernard Berrian and Sidney Rice are both questionable for Monday. If they cannot go, Allison, Wade, and Ferguson have to step it up.
For the Saints to win:
Brees must maintain his all pro level and avoid the sack. Duece must run hard between the tackles opening up the passing game. Bush must pick up the slack of Colston and Shockey and stretch the field. On defense, simply stack the line and stop Peterson from any big gains and make Frerotte and the hobbled receivers beat them.
For the Vikings to win:
From the start, they must get Brees out of his comfort zone. The front D line must pressure and sack Brees. The linebackers must stay aware of where Bush is, not allow and big plays from him. On offense, Peterson must take over the game, break a couple of big runs, take the pressure off Frerotte.
And, for the Vikings to have any shot to win, Brad Childress must miss the flight to New Orleans.
SKOL VIKINGS!
