"Anger in the Air"
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Pat Williams could sense the seething anger in the air the moment he arrived at the Minnesota Vikings' training facility for his first day of offseason workouts.
By no means had the veteran defensive tackle or any of his teammates gotten over last January's gut-wrenching loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game.
As the Vikings near the end of their final mandatory minicamp this weekend, the frustration of coming so close to reaching the Super Bowl is still a touchy subject.
"It was kind of hard (at the beginning) because it was on everybody's mind," Williams said. "Guys are tired of watching it when they show it on TV. If you bring it up in the locker room right now, guys get mad about it."
And that, according to Williams, is a good thing. Entering his 14th NFL season, he has been around long enough to know something about the proper attitude a team should carry into a season.
Frustration and anger over falling short of the only goal that matters can go a long way toward driving everyone to achieving it the next time around.
"I want guys to be mad," Williams said. "I don't want guys to come in thinking it will be smooth and that it will be easy. It's going to be hard because everybody's going to be talking about it. I want guys to stay mad."
