Thread: Why The Vikings Should Run
Why The Vikings Should Run
More passing by offenses leading to more injuries to QBs
This is for all of those saying that the NFL has become a pass oriented league where the run game is outdated and the Vikings need to follow the heard!
As of right now, the pass game is definitely the big thing around the league, it has been so for the last years and it seems to be more and more apparent. Just take a look at the best teams in the league: Patriots, Packers, Saints, Colts. There should no co-incident that they have the best QB's in the league.
Correction: the Colts with a 0-4 record is actually one of the worst teams right now, but hey wait. Peyton Manning has been sidelined because of injury this season. Think that's just a co-incident too?
... But I didn't make this thread to explain why the passing game is dominating the league. That should not be a question. What I'm trying to say is that the Vikings should not abandon the run offense. Quite the opposite, I think we should run MORE.
Wait... WHAT!? Why should the Vikings do the opposite of what's apparently giving the best results? HEY be trippin'! Sorry, I'm not (at least I don't think so).
Reason Number One: Trends Come And Go
What happens when "every" offense starts to pass for the majority of the snaps, implement more spread offenses, and use lighter and faster players? Simple: the defenses has to adjust by incorporating more pass stopping schemes like blitz packages and use lighter and faster players to keep up with the speed and stretched out offense. The safety position is already heavily focused at stopping the pass and the heavy hitters seems to be a dying race (also in part of the recent focus on player safety and the strict rules.) and the linebackers are more and more asked to drop in coverage. The defensive end is so focused at racking up sacks, but half of the job - the run stopping part - seems to be nearly forgotten in today's media.
Imagine everyone switching to a more pass oriented defense to keep up with the offenses. Not an unlikely scenario at all, but let's say the Vikings goes against the trend and stick with the run. Suddenly, the Vikings will be the new hot trend as the pass focused defenses with their light and pass focused rosters can't handle the run as they are not made for it. Simple as that.
Reason Number Two: Less Pressure On The QB
A good running game can be a QB's best friend. Do you think Mark Sanchez and Joe Flacco would have had so much success in their rookie year without the running back taking some of the pressure? Without a running game, the QB is asked to win games. With a running game, the QB is only asked to manage the game. BIG difference. As the article linked above explains: Less pass plays means also less risk of injuries to the precious QB.
Reason Number Three: Less Pressure On The Defense
A running team that can move the chains gives its defense a much longer time to recuperate and collect themselves, and at the same time, causes the opposing defense to tire quicker. It's a win-win situation.
Reason Number Four: Purple Jesus
I like to call him Purple Moses as I believe he will take the Vikings to the "promised land"... if the coaches give him the opportunity of course. Yes, Adrian is leading the league in rushing attempts, but do not let the stats fool you! If anything, it says more about the pass oriented offenses in today's NFL because Adrian Peterson is averaging 20 carries per game. Five years ago, 20 carries would be considered "little" for a good running back. Especially for a running back who happens to be arguably the NFL's best runner of the decade with incredible endurance and the ability to take the run both to the inside and outside with his one-of-a-kind blend of speed and strength. (*catching my breath*)
This is old news for many Vikings fans and it doesn't only include Adrian Peterson. Percy Harvin is also a special player that the fans would like to see utilized more. It's like we are saving them for something, but guess what! Time is now!!! Peterson and Harvin are not getting younger (still young though) and they're top trained professional athletes who are not afraid to work up some sweat. What's the point of saying "we're gonna give 100 % every game" if you don't get 100 % out of your best players?
I also would like to see more creativity in the offense. Percy Harvin is killing defenses on reverses and has already set team rushing records for a WR. As of four weeks, Percy has 12 rushing attempts for 141 yards. That's an astonishing average of 11,8 yards per carry. Not only is he very successful as a runner, but he also distracts the defense from ganging up on Adrian Peterson, freeing up more space for Adrian to work on the inside. Harvin was used a lot out of the backfield in college and for a good reason. He's ridiculously explosive and runs harder than many running backs. He's like a mini A.D.
Last words to the coaches: PATIENCE.
The key word to a running game is patience. Don't quite if you get a couple of no gains or even losses of yards. The running game requires patience. Not even Adrian Peterson can make a good run on every single play and he's at his best when he gets going late in the game.
That's all folk. Take care!
--- Hey ---
Watch the game on Sunday. AD often ran and then almost stopped when he reached the line, because there were no holes. They continue to try to run him between the tackles, and the line isn't creating openings. I thought the run-pass balance was pretty good this past Sunday, but he just isn't getting the opportunities to make the big runs we all have come to expect from him.
Thanks to Josdin for the awesome sig!
The problem with that analogy is the the players on defense are just plain getting faster than they used to be and that makes it much harder to be successful running the ball than it used to be.
Second of all the run limits the areas of the field you can attack because you have to go directly through the line to get from point A to point B. The rules and the league understand that attacking the whole field is both more exciting to the average rube and also more prone to vulnerabilities than the line of scrimmage.
The thing that's being overlooked here is AD's 2nd half stats;
1st half: 47 attempts, 274 yards, 5.8 YPC, 3 TD's, 12 - 1st downs, longest run: 46 yards
2nd half: 34 attempts, 102 yards, 3.0 YPC, 0 TD's, 4 - 1st downs, longest run: 9 yards
AD was supposed to be the type of runner that wears defenses down & then excels in the second half of the game. That isn't happening.
AD is no longer All Day. HD (1/2 Day) is more applicable so far this year.
Defenses have him pegged, but we continue to do the same thing over & over again, expecting a different result & it appears as if the defenses are wearing AD down in the second half, rather than the other way around.

The Vikings should run, because if they don't we will catch them and beat them up.

I just want more plays overall..
Running & defense is no longer the key to winning, sad but true. Ok, not really sad, just true. Throw the damn ball like every other team in the NFL!

Brendan McCarthy / Eyewitness News
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @bmccarthyWWL
METAIRIE, La. - A pattern of workplace harassment existed in the upper echelons of Jefferson Parish government, with a former top official making crude comments about "Thong Thursdays" and referencing the parish president and a "booty call," according to a report.
A parish-sponsored investigation found that Richard Hart, the former Deputy Chief Operating Officer and third-highest-ranking parish official, harassed female employees and was an overall liability. That investigation concluded in February of last year and resulted in the resignation of Hart, a friend and ally of President John Young.
The report was recently entered into the court record in a federal civil suit filed by Heather Hilliard, the parish's former head of emergency preparedness. Hilliard claims she made more than 25 complaints regarding Hart's harassment over a nine-month period, and that top parish officials ignored her claims. She was fired last May.
Kriss Fortunato, spokeswoman for Young's administration, declined to comment on the matter Friday, citing pending litigation.
The harassment investigation was undertaken in late 2011 and early 2012 by an outside firm. Investigators interviewed numerous parish employees, including Hilliard and Hart.
Hilliard claimed Hart repeatedly made crude and sexist remarks in executive meetings. She said he talked of "Thong Thursdays," when joking about employees wearing pink bracelets in honor of a colleague fighting breast cancer, the report states. Hart also joked about a "booty call," in reference to Young calling female parish employees at night on business, Hilliard alleged.
Hart, who took the COO post in 2010, portrayed himself as having a utility role in parish government, supervising "no one and everyone," and following the directives of Young. He stated he had numerous issues with Hilliard regarding her job performance.
He acknowledged making a "booty call" reference, which he said was directed at John Young and no one else. He told investigators that it was something he heard on television and that there was no sexual intent in the statement.
Hart also acknowledged that Young had told him on several occasions to be more professional in meetings.
A majority of the parish employees interviewed had "extreme concerns of retaliation and feared for their jobs," the report noted. Most of the employees corroborated Hilliard's claims. Some asked that the matter not be "swept under the rug."
The investigation found that Hart had violated policies regarding workplace harassment and recommended that Hart be fired or given the option to resign.
He resigned in February of last year. At the time, Young released a statement calling Hart's departure a "tremendous loss."
"Richard Hart has been integral to the reform efforts undertaken during the first year of this Administration. I am disappointed to lose his vision, energy, and expertise," Young said. He declined to comment further at the time.
Young, who apparently knew then of the investigations and the findings, said he would not comment further on the resignation.
Weeks later, Hilliard received a performance review, earning substandard marks. She was fired last May.
Hilliard's lawsuit names Jefferson Parish, Young and Hart as defendants. The matter is pending in federal court.
The investigation also recommended that parish government "provide training for the entire Jefferson Parish Executive Leadership Team" regarding workplace harassment.
WWL-TV asked Fortunato, the spokeswoman, if this had taken place. She declined to comment, citing the litigation.

Injured New York Rangers center Derek Stepan joined his teammates for the morning stake on Tuesday at the Bell Centre in Montreal before Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Canadiens.
Stepan was still awaiting clearance from team doctors on his availability to play after suffering a broken jaw on Thursday night in Game 3 of the best-of-seven series in Madison Square Garden. He had surgery on Friday morning and has been fitted with a plastic protector to cover his jaw.
It was the first time since before the injury that he participated with the team in a practice. He skated as the center on his regular line that includes Rick Nash and Chris Kreider.
"There's a lot of things that have to fall into place for him to play," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said Tuesday morning.
Stepan was injured early in Game 3 on an illegal hit by Canadiens forward Brandon Prust, who was suspended for two games by the NHL and will sit out Tuesday night. But Stepan returned to the ice after getting X-rays in the locker room and had an assist on the tying goal in regulation. A CT scan the next morning revealed the break.
The Rangers lead 3-1 and could close out the series with a win on Tuesday night that would send the team to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1994.
In 17 playoff games, Stepan has three goals and eight assists.

According to a Tweet from the official Strikeforce Twitter account, middleweights Tim Kennedy and Robbie Lawler will square off at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson on July 30. The event takes place at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and will be broadcast on Showtime. This is the second Strikeforce event held in that venue, both of which putting Emelianenko at the top of the bill.
Lawler's success in the Strikeforce cage has been up and down of late, most recently losing to Strikeforce middlweight champion Renaldo Souza at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg. Kennedy also lost to Souza, but most recently rebounded with a win over Melvin Manhoef at Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson.
The full Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson fight card as of the time of this writing:
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Dan Henderson
Roger Gracie vs. Muhammed Lawal
Marloes Coenen vs. Miesha Tate
Paul Daley vs. Evangelista Santos
Tarec Saffiedine vs. Scott Smith

We took a cruise on the MSC Sinfonia from Cape Town to Durban, South Africa in December 2013. Overall, the experience was really, really good and actually compared very well to cruising internationally - we have been on the Costa Victoria along the Vietnamese coast previously and the Sinfonia experience on board and the ship itself was very similar.
The experience of South African ports however was shocking - Cape Town is a shed that took 2.5 hours in a queue to embark, most of that standing in the sun! Compare that to Singapore where we just walked through and that included immigration!
As with any trip, there is good and bad and its worth mentioning both:
- The entertainment and shows on board were really good, high quality. We experienced 4 theatre shows and each felt like an extravaganza. Have to specifically mention the gymnasts.
- Have to give a special mention to the cruise director, Stephen Cloete - he does amazing stand up comedy and made every annoucement into a comedy show so everybody actually listened
- We had an internal cabin as we didn't plan to spend much time there. However, the cabin was well laid out and felt 'spacious' - OK, we have stayed in Paris, so take that as a comparison. The cabin also felt bigger than those on the Victoria - we didn't fall over each other when moving around the bed
- The cocktails were great! And bar staff were very good - the ability to remember multiple orders and get all to the right table was amazing
- The food generally was excellent. They put on a special Indian menu in the restaurants (guessing this was for SA only?) and we ate almost every meal on that menu - the veg and fish dishes were really good
- timing - we almost always docked or departed ahead of the time we had been told. We would have liked to watch both going into a harbour and leaving it as this is a big part of cruising, and even woke up early so as not to miss it - we missed all but one of these!
- Embarkation and disembarkation - as mentioned above, the SA ports are shocking, but the MSC staff were a bit slow and didn't help the experience. More info about what was happening would have been good
- The lamb was very low grade, to the point it would have been preferable to omit lamb from all menus. Breakfast cereals were also not so good - Bokomo doesn't make cereals!
- Restaurants seemed understaffed and waiters were run off their feet, and some of their English was a bit poor
- the PE excursions were not listed on the web and hence we didn't have a chance to research these in advance - for the price, the short description provided in the brochure was not adequate
Overall, we will cruise again and possibly with MSC, but not likely in SA as the cruises are a bit short and the ports are bad. A cruise is such a relaxing experience that you always want more!

CATEGORIES MoviesWarner Bros is already hot on the trail of a 'Sherlock Holmes' sequel (with Brad Pitt reportedly in talks to play Holmes' nemesis Moriarty), 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' soundtrack is unveiled, Ali Larter and Wentworth Miller join 'Resident Evil: Afterlife,' and more of today's top movie headlines. Guy Ritchie's 'Sherlock Holmes' doesn't hit screens for another three months, but Warner Bros. is already hot on the trail of a sequel, which will return Robert Downey Jr. as the famed supersleuth and Jude Law as his loyal sidekick Watson. The studio is negotiating with 'Justice League: Mortal' scribes Kieran and Michele Mulroney to write the follow-up, and Brad Pitt is reportedly in talks to play Holmes' nemesis Moriarty, which would be pretty cool. As Watson would say: "No sh**, Sherlock." [Risky Biz Blog] | [Variety]
The soundtrack listing for 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' has been released on author Stephenie Meyer's official site, and it looks like it could equal the success of the 'Twilight' album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell 2.2 million copies. The indie-minded 'New Moon' soundtrack features new tracks from Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Lykke Li and the Killers, with Death Cab for Cutie performing the lead single, 'Meet Me on the Equinox.' [The Hollywood Reporter]
'Heroes' starlet Ali Larter is reprising her role as Claire in 'Resident Evil: Afterlife,' the fourth installment of the popular action series starring Milla Jovovich as a badass who battles zombies and virus-infected mutants in a post-apocalyptic world. 'Prison Break' star Wentworth Miller has also joined the cast. [BlackFilm]
John Malkovich, Scott Glenn and Dylan Walsh are saddling up for 'Secretariat', the true-life tale of the horse that won the 1973 Triple Crown.

Rose-Tinted Glasses
my As much as we all may joke about Peace Corps goggles (it is not a joke: it is an affliction!), many of us have switched those spectacles for another pair of late. Long ago, when it meant little to me, I heard through the usual twisted, time-distorted chain of Peace Corps wisdom about the rose-tinted glasses. These, the legend went, slip down over your eyes during your last weeks in your village; they distort your once reliable vision and suddenly you find all that once irritated you to no ...

Lives of Quiet Dignity
Madagascar, one sometimes forgets, is a country of incredible crushing poverty, a result less of disease and not of war, but of decades of poor governance and missed economic opportunities. Of a population just over twenty million, 75% live below the poverty line. Half are under the age of eighteen and, with the average mother giving birth to 6.6 children (one of the highest birthrates in the world), the population is currently due to double every twenty years. 15% of Malagasy children don't...

Isamu Noguchi, born in 1904 in Los Angeles to the Japanese poet Yone Noguchi and the American writer Leonie Gilmour, studied at Columbia University and the Leonardo da Vinci Art School. He subsequently established his first independent studio and received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1927. He then worked as an assistant to Constantin Brancusi in Paris and presented his first solo exhibition in New York. He studied brush drawing in China and worked with ceramics under Jinmatsu Uno in Japan. His experiences living and working in different cultural circles are reflected in his work as an artist. Isamu Noguchi is considered a universal talent with a creative oeuvre that went beyond sculpture to encompass stage sets, furniture, lighting, interiors as well as outdoor plazas and gardens. His sculptural style is indebted to a vocabulary of organic forms and exerted a sustained influence on the design of the 1950s. "My father, Yone Noguchi, is Japanese and has long been known as an interpreter of the East to the West, through poetry. I wish to fulfill my heritage", he wrote in his proposal for a Guggenheim Fellowship. Isamu Noguchi died in New York in 1988.

Bruce from San Francisco
I love the free flowing design of the table but I can't help but wonder if there was a specific configuration the glass should be on the base. I'm sure the designer must have had something in mind.

Herman Miller began in 1923 as a manufacturer of traditional residential furniture, became a leader in "modern" furniture in the 1930s and 1940s; developed lasting ties through the 1950s with legendary industrial designers who led the company in new directions; transformed the office furniture industry with the first panel system in the 1960s; invented and refined ergonomic work seating in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; reinvented the geometry of systems furniture in 2000, and is today the second largest office furniture company with customers and locations around the world. Their history of employee participation and ownership and technological innovation has long roots and continues to grow. They have always worked hard to be serious about both people and business. They look at their primary goal as creating great places to work.
George Nelson laid out five tenets of Herman Miller's design philosophy 50 years ago:
While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether? The answer is Yes.

A pro-life group has threatened to start protesting at Crestwood Medical Center over a doctor the group claims is performing abortions.
No abortions are done at Crestwood, but the pro-life group is organizing a public protest in front of the hospital on Oct. 19 if the hospital continues to grant administrative privileges to the doctor.
The pro-life group didn't want to give the doctor's name, citing legal reasons.
Protests in front of the women's clinic where abortions are performed in downtown Huntsville are nothing new, but bringing them to the Crestwood campus is.
"It will go as far as it needs to go to convince the Crestwood management and their corporate management that the vast majority of people in Huntsville don't want to support abortion," said supporter Rev. James Hendersen. "We are here to stay. We expect to be here this winter, we expect to here next year, we expect to be here until the job is done."
The pro-life group hand delivered a letter with their concerns to the hospital's CEO.
"We believe the time has come to cut that lifeline off once and for all that sustains abortion in Huntsville, said a supporter.
The group says it's giving the hospital until Oct. 19 to re-think their decision in approving admitting privileges to the doctor. If nothing changes, the group says it will protest in front of the campus for as long as it takes.
