Quote:Good point D6, that tea, is just loaded on the defensive side of the ball, and Zimm's scheme is perfect for there personnel. If Jordy Nelson doesn't return to his pre-injury self, it wouldn't surprise me if the Vikes (even with Teddy's injury) still win that division. Teddy didn't play all that great last season,. they just need a guy who doesn't turn the ball over, they can win with that defense and running game.

 

  jagforlife85,  the impression I had when watching the Vikings last season is after the debacle they had in SF in week # 1 in which Adrian Peterson was under used,   Mike Zimmer and Norv Turner decided to make Peterson the focal point of the Offense.  With choice # 2 not even remotely close to Peterson as choice # 1.   This,  combined with the Vikings not getting good enough play from their WRs other than then rookie Stefon Diggs cut down on Teddy Bridgewater's numbers considerably.  

 

  I probably rate Bridgewater's performance level from last season higher than most people that follow the NFL.    With upgrades on Offense this season,  especially with their 1st Round pick,   I thought Turner would open the Vikings Offense up more.   Especially,  since the Vikings now are playing the majority of their games in Domes.   Many of Bridgewater's best performances have come indoors.   He's much better suited in the long run to the new Vikings Stadium than outdoors at the University of Minnesota facility.
