Minnesota Vikings coach: 'We need to get up to speed in a heck of a hurry'

Their first-game performance suggested they needed more practice.

After a sluggish 14-9 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, the Vikings returned home with a mix of frustration and confidence. Their biggest concern has to be the offense, which was able to move the ball remarkably well in the second quarter to take a halftime lead but stalled after that once they strayed from the run.
"There's no way we're up to the warp speed of an 18th game of the season," Coach Brad Childress said Friday afternoon. He added: "It's a work in progress on offense. It's from a number of different spots, just getting your center back, your wideouts or your quarterback. We need to get up to speed in a heck of a hurry. I believe we will."
