vike daddy Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Chicago could be without three linebackers who have started for them during the young 2017 season. Nick Kwiatkoski and Willie Young are listed as doubtful ahead of the Week 5 game. Bears LB Danny Trevathan will miss Monday night’s contest after being suspended for a game after his hit on Green Bay’s Devante Adams in Week 4. http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/Bradford-Kearse-Questionable-Hill-Out-For-Monday-Night-Football/8b8d4587-977f-4e28-88be-aa28d08097d1?sf120012479=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a team sport, so it's a big game for every player on the field... the QBs, RBs, OL, DL, receivers, DBs, LBs, Ks, LSs, kick returners, and Ps.

vike daddy Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Backup offensive tackle Rashod Hill was the only Vikings player who didn’t participate in Saturday’s practice. Bradford and Jayron Kearse were the only limited participants. http://www.twincities.com/2017/10/07/vikings-wr-michael-floyd-looking-forward-to-first-game-after-suspension/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Bradford to start on Monday, it appears. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Sunday that he "anticipates" Bradford will be able to make the start, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope the OL blocks for him, and he doesn't take any big hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then the RB corp is also going to be similarly in the spotlight, to see if they can carry the load to keep pressure off the QB. Also, the OL, to open holes for them and pass protect for the QB if the running game isn't effective. And, maybe the .... oh, I'll stop here to point out how each player is important in a team sport.

swede700 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Quote Oct. 9 is celebrated annually as Leif Erikson Day in honor of the Icelandic explorer who some believe was the first Nordic person to visit North America. The Vikings have never lost on this particular day, going a perfect 7-0 in franchise history on Oct. 9. http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/Vikings-Have-Winning-Tradition-on-Leif-Erikson-Day/74109aff-85e4-4d96-8695-0da81e59d405 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Glad Bradford is back. If Latavius Murray can just be a rich man's Matt Asiata and Jerrick McKinnon can just not screw up, we might be okay at RB. Here's to hoping we get back on track starting tonight. Skol Vikings!

Nzd07 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Marcus Cooper is probably their best corner and it looks like he's out. Their best pass rusher is out. This should be an easy win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
