Look, we struggled yesterday, we won ugly and sloppy, our Qb was off, our DE's were slow, and our OL was less than average. BUT WE WON.
I actually think this is a good slap upside the head for the stadium opener, not one player on that team is taking anything for granted now.
A few thoughts
-Oline play was average, but playcalling needs to allow for a rythm, we were getting 3-4 yards a carry at times, but we would get away from it. This will show up on film and all the "pound the rock should be taken off the wall folks" will be ok again.
-Some weapons showed up, Stoudemire had a solid game in several aspects, Green made some big catches, that said we need to mix it up a bit, again this will come, the more exotic packages and plays will be mixed in when the O playbook gets digested and executed with more confidence.
-DE is my greatest concern, although DL Wilhite showed up late in the game, he should get mixed in more, had a nice burst. We need more pass rush.
Overall calm down, if we win 12 games by 1 point in sloppy, ugly performances we are still 12-0
get set for the stadium opener it's going to be a great day in Minnesota history.
