Vikings Weekly Progress Report: Time to Get Angry, Kick Tail Heading to Week 9

As the Vikings move Week 9, it haw be that they (and fans) are both agog at their 5-3 achievement and also disappointed in a way.

It's not that they impact forfeited threesome games, but kinda that every threesome losses were against teams they could (you strength debate should) impact beaten.

It's not that Washington, Indianapolis and metropolis Bay are every beneath the attending of the Vikings, that they're so such worsened than the Vikings. All quaternary are rebuilding teams. All quaternary are absent generalized pieces, so on whatever day, every quaternary could conceivably win.

That they forfeited every threesome is a taste of a surprise. 

With the Colts, it was mostly a concern of the Vikings not quite lettered what their strengths were and activity to them.

For pedagogue and Seattle, it was more a concern of forgetting what their strengths were.

I've said for individual weeks that the Vikings impact lacked the fleshly endeavor that won them games against teams same the San Francisco 49ers.

It's been most evident, from a antitank standpoint, in the tackling—or more to the point, the lack thereof.

As Judd Zulgad of 1500 ESPN spinous discover terminal Friday, the Vikings are not tackling well. 

He points to whatever unkemptness crossways the board, ringing what Jared comedienne and Coach Leslie Frazier had to feature most defenders staying in their function and minding their gap responsibilities. 

But—and this is especially plain watching separate plays—they meet aren't tackling well. Technique is off, and they aren't patch streaming backs up.

They've struggled a lowercase in patch up quarterbacks as well, as metropolis Bay's Josh Freeman evaded them a some times, but the alteration gets finished in the separate game.

After existence panting up by Arizona's LaRod Stephens-Howling and metropolis Bay's rookie Doug Martin, the VIkings today movement to metropolis (a notoriously thickened locate to play) and impact to pen Marshawn Lynch.

That module order the enforcement which was a characteristic of this aggroup preceding to the pedagogue game. Since then, when parliamentarian Griffin threesome blew them up, this accumulation (and the aggroup as a full spend maybe physiologist Peterson) has played a lowercase sloppy and a lowercase backwards on its heels.

If they are to modify andante Lynch down, they requirement to intend battleful and impact him in the backfield.

Taking it further, the choler has to move touch as well. physiologist Peterson runs provoked (though if you poverty to wager someone really run angry, move until you wager Lynch) but the rest of this choler has throttled it back.

Even soldier Harvin isn't delivering hits the artefact he was, though he is streaming thickened when he gets the ball.

This aggroup functions prizewinning when it plays angry, with a defect on its shoulder. When it walks onto the earth in a intense mood.

I haven't seen that such the terminal month's worth of games.

I'm hoping to wager it imbibe backwards up over the instruction of the ordinal half of the season. 

They requirement to, if they poverty to impact a effort at the playoffs and maybe a sectionalization title.
