vikings/nfl

I like Frazier and I think he did a great job getting the Vikings into the playoffs last year. Hopefully he'll get an extension after getting us back there this season. I don't like that Leslie's future probably depends on whether or not Ponder develops this year.

Frazier is a great communicator, always saying the right things. I've never known him to stumble across words. Ziggy obviously loves him, and there's been no indication whatsoever that Frazier's job is in jeopardy. Anything to the contrary would be pure speculation. The Vikings were peaking at the right time last season, and Ponder was a big reason why. It's too bad he had to go down right before the playoffs. Viking Karma strikes again! With all that said, I see nothing but our team getting stronger. We have youth, are gaining experience, and we have pro bowl caliber players at many positions. We just need to shore up a few spots, and continue to improve against what should be a tougher schedule next year. I look forward to seeing the team, and Ponder, get to the next level.

More proof Frazier is not head coach material. Selling Jennings that AP loosens defenses, really? Show 1 example. No matter how weak the receivers were perceived to be last season, Musgrave never called play action to freeze the defense and allow men that extra step to get open. Or is Ponder's weak arm the reason? By mid season Jennings better be enjoying cashing his big fat pay checks because he's going to be hating the pathetic passing offense.

"Musgrave never called play action . . ."? What games were you watching?

Sure sounds to me like Frasier threw last year's group of recievers under the bus when convincing Jennings to join! I love it! Skol Vikes!

I really like the moves that have been made so far, by Spielman. The re-signing of loadholt was a must. Alot of people around the NFL thought that the Vikes would Franchise Loadholt. Signing him right before he had a chance to talk to other teams, was a smart money move. The Vikes signed him to a 4yr/25mil contract. If they had tagged him, it would have cost the Team just over 9mil a yr. As far as the Harvin ordeal goes, I would have loved to get him signed and keep him around. The problem was that he did not want to be here, and getting a 1st/7th this year, and a 3rd next year was a steal. Most of the experts were saying the Team would be lucky to get a 3rd rounder. The re-signings of Felton, Henderson, Berger, and Simpson, were all good moves. I think that having Simpson healthy will be a plus. I never thought that he was going to be a true #1 WR, but thought he would make asolid #2. Can't say enough about the Jenning's signing. This guy is a Pro. Listening to all the Packers players talking about how much he will be missed, how great of a team player he was, and how good he was in the locker room, just makes me more positive about getting this guy in Purple. Letting Brinkley go in FA will not hurt this Team. He was rated2nd or 3rd to last for starting MLB. I don't know if Spielman will fill this spot with a FA, but wouldn't mind if he stole another player from GB, in Brad Jones. It's possible that the Vikes could sign one of the vets that are out there, like Burnett, Dansby, or Urlacher. If the Team decides to wait until the draft, either Ogletree, or Te'o should be around when the Vikes draft in the 1st, or Minter, or Reddick, could be available in the 2nd or 3rd. All in all, I like the way the Vikes have been going about their personell changes. I like the fact that they are going after "Team" guys, and getting players that want to be here. Keep up the good work! GO VIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad to see that dch6859 is finally happy with the moves that the team is making. If he could just get his buddies purplegoon, purplechump, and souixchamp, to see things his way, everyone in Viking land will be at piece. GO VIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is this a story? The coach is publicly happy with the moves made by his employers... Whoopie!!!

This is the same Frazier, that did not pull Ponder out of the games, when he did not even throw for a 100 yds, in a few games last year. Without AP, the Vikes would have been lucky to win five or six games last year, and the fans would be singing a different tune about Frazier.

@ bombo52...those were the same games where for every offensive series Musgrave would call for a dive up the middle for 2 plays for no gain and then he would call an 9 yard pass play when the Vikes needed 10 yards for a first down. Didn't you know that the Vikes went 3 and out on every offensive series never scoring a point all season?
