D looked good!

Not worried about our offense....and our D really looked good. Any thoughts?

Yer we seemed to force more 3 and outs than last year, coverage was pretty tight, would have liked to get more pressure but I think sed Ellis had a great game. Our o should get on track soon

If our D plays like that when our O gets going, gonna be A LOT of blow-outs!

That was a catch Moore had that was knocked out. We should've challenged.

Sorry, but I wasn't at all impressed with our run defense tonight. Peterson had way too many carries for 4+ yards. I screamed for someone to stop the run all through the draft because we had the same problem last year. guess we are still looking...

Pass D looked good though. Vilma had a pick, and Jenkins *ALMOST* had another one coming across from center field. But on the Viks touchdown drive, we got burned on miss-matches on two long passes.

Grade: C, maybe a B-.

I think our D played great. Peterson broke off some good runs on us, but nothing major. Offensively I don't think we were that good. I know it is only the first game of the year and we were also playing against a fairly good Vikings D , but we had too many dropped balls that were very catchable. I would go with a B- grade maybe a B.

And Shanle is not good in pass coverage. I too was upset the way Peterson was running on the Defense. Jenkins will taking over that spot if he continues to play the way he did. Other than Vilma we're missing the outside LB that can do both play pass and a beast in the run/blitz game.
