Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress is currently in his 2nd season directing the Vikings with a nucleus intact that features stingy defense, aggressive line play on both sides of the ball and a commitment to a strong rushing attack. During his debut season in 2006 the Vikings received impressive contributions from young players and improved on what will be the core of the team for the future. The 2007 season marks Childress’ 30th in coaching and his 10th on an NFL sideline. During his previous 29 seasons at the collegiate and professional ranks, Childress has been a part of teams with winning records 17 times. He currently has a combined record of 214-172-8, including playoffs and bowl action. Solid defense is a calling-card for Childress’ team as it moves forward in the rugged NFC North. The 2006 Vikings ranked #8 in the NFL in total defense, the highest ranking since 1994 and the team ranked #1 against the run for only the 3rd time in franchise history. The 2006 Vikings featured a pair of Pro Bowlers along the defensive line with DTs Kevin Williams and Pat Williams, with Kevin Williams earning 1st-Team All-Pro honors by Associated Press. Offensively the 2006 Vikings produced the 4th-best single-season rushing performance when Chester Taylor ran for 1,216 yards and set a franchise record with 303 rushing attempts. Taylor had a pair of Pro Bowlers paving the way for him up front in C Matt Birk and G Steve Hutchinson. Childress joined the Vikings following a 7-year stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, including the last 4 as offensive coordinator. During his tenure in Philadelphia, the Eagles represented the NFC in Super Bowl XXXIX, amassed a 70-42 (.625) record in the regular season, won 4 straight NFC East titles from 2001-04, and advanced to the playoffs from 2000-04. During Childress’ time as offensive coordinator (2002-05), the Eagles posted a 43-21 record in the regular season, the most wins in the NFC over that span. Throughout his coaching career, Childress has built winners, taking losing programs at Illinois and Wisconsin and turning them into Big Ten champions and Rose Bowl teams. Before joining Philadelphia in 1999, the 1998 squad went 3-13. In two seasons the Eagles were in the playoffs and in three seasons were winning the fi rst of four straight NFC East titles.

Raiders Head Coach Lane Kiffi n is the 16th head coach in the history of the Oakland Raiders. With his appointment by team Owner Al Davis in January 2007 at age 31, Kiffi n became the youngest head coach in the history of the modern NFL. Now 32, Kiffi n is also the youngest head coach in Raiders history. Before joining the Raiders, Kiffi n led an offfense at the University of Southern California that featured a strong passing attack and a power running game. He helped the Trojans win back-to-back national championships in 2003 and 2004. The Trojans also produced two Heisman Trophy winners with Reggie Bush (2005) and Matt Leinart (2004) with Kiffi n as the offensive coordinator. Kiffi n’s coaching career began at Fresno State, his alma mater, where for 2 seasons (1997-98) he worked with the quarterbacks, wide receivers and defensive back as a graduate assistant. He then became an assistant at Colorado State in 1999, working with the offensive line. Kiffi n joined USC in 2001, handling tight ends. He went on to coach wide receivers from 2002-04, adding the responsibility of passing game coordinator in 2004. In 2005, Kiffi n was promoted to offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator while continuing as the wide receivers coach. Under Kiffi n’s leadership in 2006, the Trojans fi nished fi rst in the Pac-10 in passing effi ciency, averaging 142.8 yards per game. The team also produced two 1,000 yard receivers in Dwayne Jarrett (1,105) and Steve Smith (1,083) as well as a 3,000 -yard passer in John David Booty (3,347).

COACH CHILDRESS ON BOUNCING BACKI was particularly disappointed to lose to an arch rival like (the Green Bay Packers) following a solid effort against a team like a San Diego. So I prefer to cast my gaze backwards and go back and re-capture what was there against San Diego...There are seven weeks to go in this football season, fi ve of which for us are NFC games, four of which are home, and I just expect this team to rebound. That will be a large part of our message as we head to the Oakland Raiders this week.

As Brad Childress built his Vikings’ coaching staff, he wanted coaches who were good teachers and hard workers, qualities that he found in offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, and special teams coordinator Paul Ferraro. Bevell enters his 2nd season with the Vikings after spending the previous 6 seasons coaching on the Green Bay Packers’ staff, including the last 3 as quarterbacks coach. The 2006 Vikings were led on the ground by free agent acquisition RB Chester Taylor, who set a franchise record with 303 rushing attempts and the 4th-highest total in team history with 1,216 rushing yards. C Matt Birk earned his 5th career Pro Bowl nod while Steve Hutchinson, in his 1st season with the team, earned Pro Bowl honors for the 4th consecutive season. During Bevell’s tenure with the Packers, the team went 57-39 in regular-season play and won 3 straight NFC North titles from 2002-04. Bevell played QB for Childress at Wisconsin and led the 1993 Badger squad to the school’s 1st Big Ten title and Rose Bowl in 31 years. Frazier enters his 1st season with the Vikings after winning a Super Bowl last season as a member of the Indianapolis Colts’ staff coaching defensive backs and serving as a special assistant to Tony Dungy. He enters his 9th season as an NFL coach in 2007 and has another 11 years of collegiate coaching experience. The Colts’ defense posted 13 takeaways in the playoffs and allowed only 2 second-half TDs in the 4 postseason games. Prior to his tenure with Indianapolis, Frazier served as defensive coordinator with Cincinnati from 2003-04 where he helped the Bengals go .500 in consecutive seasons for the 1st time in 12 seasons, and as defensive backs coach for Philadelphia from 1999-2002. Frazier won a Super Bowl as a player as a member of the 1985 Chicago Bears team that won Super Bowl XX. He led the Bears in interceptions in 1983, 1984, and 1985 before his career was cut short by a severe knee injury in Super Bowl XX. Ferraro enters his 2nd season with the Vikings after spending the 2005 season with the NFC runner-up Carolina Panthers and the previous 23 seasons before that coaching at the collegiate level. In 2006, Ferraro’s special teams units generated 4 takeaways, had punt returner Mewelde Moore tie a franchise record with his 2nd career punt return TD, and had newly-acquired K Ryan Longwell make all 21 of his FG attempts under 46 yards. Vikings 2nd-year P Chris Kluwe matched a team record by landing 28 punts inside the 20-yard line on the season. In 2005 with the Panthers, Ferraro helped tutor P Jason Baker, who led the NFC and ranked 3rd in the NFL in net punting average at 38.9 and landed a career-best 20 punts inside the 20. K John Kasay’s 121 points were the 3rd-most of his career and WR Steve Smith fi nished 3rd in the NFC with a 10.6-yard punt return average.

VIKINGS TEAM NOTES


LEAGUE LEADER Vikings 1st-round draft pick RB Adrian Peter-son currently leads the NFL with 1,081 rush-ing yards, 208 yards more than the 2nd-leading rusher, Pittsburgh RB Willie Parker (873 yards) despite having 43 fewer carries. Peterson’s 8 rushing TDs are tied for the NFL lead and his 6.4-yard average also tops the league list. In Week 9 vs. San Diego, Peterson broke the NFL record for the most rushing yards in a single game when he broke loose for 296

yards on the ground against the Chargers. He also tied a team record with his 3 rushing TDs, only the 11th time it had happened in team his-tory, with the last time coming at Chicago earlier this season as Peterson rushed for 224 yards and 3 TDs. Peterson exploded on to the NFL scene in the 2007 opener against Atlanta when he rushed 19 times for 103 yards and turned a screen play into a 60-yard touchdown. With the 103 rushing yards, Peterson set a new team record for the most yards rushing in the fi rst NFL game. He also became only the 3rd Vikings player to gain 100 yards rushing in his fi rst game as a Viking.

VIKINGS TEAM NOTES


ROOKIE OF THE MONTH(S) RB Adrian Peterson was honored as the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for both September and October, making him the fi rst rookie in the NFL to win the award in back-to-back months since Giants TE Jeremy Shockey and Colts DE Dwight Freeney earned the honor in November and December of 2002. Peterson is also only the 4th Vikings player to win the award and the 1st offensive player since 1998 to be selected for the award. Peterson’s month of October included his performance at Chicago (10/14/07) when he set a new team rushing record with 224 yards on the ground, had 361 combined yards (224 rushing, 9 receiving, 128 kickoff returns), tied a team record with 3 rushing TDs and became the fi rst Vi-kings player with 2 rushes of 50+ yards in a game. He fi nished the month with 357 yards rushing on 52 carries (6.9 avg.) and 4 TDs. Peterson’s record-breaking debut month in September included an NFC-best 383 rushing yards and NFC-leading 549 yards from scrimmage.

VIKINGS TEAM NOTES

VIKINGS RANK 2ND The Vikings’ 378-yard rushing performance against the Chargers in Week 9 is the 2nd highest rushing total in a single game since the merger in 1970. The highest mark is held by Cincinnati, when they ran for 407 yards vs. Denver on October 22, 2000.

A CAREER FIRST For the fi rst time in his career, LB Ben Leber notched both a sack and an interception in the same game at Chicago (10/14/07). Both were fi rsts for Leber in 2007 as well. Against Dallas in Week 7, Leber recovered a fumble that he returned 10 yards before pitching it to CB Cedric Griffi n, who returned it the fi nal 28 yards for a touchdown.

KNACK FOR SACKS The Vikings have collected 19 sacks in the fi rst 9 games of the 2007 season, which ranks tied for 16th in the NFL. The team doubled its opening month sack total from 2006 (6) by notching 12 in Septem-ber. In the 2007 season opener, the Vikings collected 6 sacks against the Falcons. Rookie DE Brian Robison led the team with 2 sacks for -10 yards. LB E.J. Henderson, DT Spencer Johnson, DE Kenechi Udeze and DT Kevin Williams all added one.

Vikings 3rd-year P Chris Kluwe has left oppo-nents inside their own 20-yard line an NFL-best 22 times through the fi rst 9 games this year. In the season opener against Atlanta, Kluwe tied a team record as he pinned the Falcons inside the 20-yard line on each of his 5 punts. Punting 5 times for 190 yards (38.0 avg), Kluwe gave the Falcons starting fi eld position at their own 11, 10, 3, 19 and 12 yard lines. Leaving opponents inside the 20 is familiar

territory for Kluwe, as he tied a team record in 2006 for the most punts inside the 20 with 28. That total surpassed his total of 17 from the 2005 season and ranked 2nd in the NFC. Kluwe also tied the team record in 2006 for the most 50+ yard punts in a season with 22. This year Kluwe also broke a single game team record at De-troit when he punted 4 times for 230 yards, a gross average of 57.5 yards per punt. The previous record was held by Mitch Berger (55.8 yards per punt). Kluwe, whose farthest punt against the Chiefs sailed 70 yards, now has 2 of the top 3 gross punting performances in team his-tory. He is currently ranked 9th in the league with a gross punting aver-age of 44.8 yards per punt. Kluwe has also already tied his previous shared record with Mitch Berger of punts over 50 yards (22). Kluwe signed a 6-year contract extension on October 25.

COVERING KICKSOpposing teams are averaging only 21.1 yards per kickoff return against the Vikings this season, which ranks 7th in the NFL. Op-ponents’ average starting fi eld position following Vikings’ kickoffs is just beyond the 24-yard line (24.6), which ranks tied for 4th in the NFL.


VIKINGS TEAM NOTES

RETURN MENThe Vikings currently rank 7th in the league with an average of 25.1 yards per kickoff return, returning 33 kicks for 829 yards, with a long of 62. In Week 6 against Chicago, RB Adrian Peterson returned 4 kickoffs for 128 yards (32.0 avg.). His fi nal return went for 53 yards and set up the Vikings’ game-winning fi eld goal as time expired. Peterson has 13 returns for 324 yards (24.9 avg.) on the season. Fellow rookie WR Aun-drae Allison has returned 7 kickoffs for 228 yards (32.6 avg.), including a long of 62. Allison is only the 2nd player in team history to have 2 60+ yard kickoff returns in the same season. WR Troy Williamson has taken back 12 for 277 yards (23.1 avg.).

NOWHERE TO RUN The Vikings currently have the 3rd-best rush defense in the NFL, surrending an aver-age of 75.9 yards per game on the ground. In Week 7, the Dal-las Cowboys were the fi rst team in 2007 to gain 100 rushing yards against Minnesota as well as the fi rst team to score a rushing TD. The longest rush allowed has been for 30 yards. Against the Packers in Week 4 the Vikings al-lowed only 46 rushing yards. The previous week at Kansas City they held Larry Johnson to 42 yards on 24 carries and gave up only 50 rushing yards total, and vs. San Diego in Week 9 they held LaDai-

nian Tomlinson to 40 yards on 16 carries and the Chargers to 42 yards overall Last season the Vikings fi nished with the #1-ranked rush defense in the NFL, giving up 61.6 yards per game. Minnesota posted the two best marks in franchise history for rushing yards allowed with -3 at Detroit (12/10/06) and 7 at Miami (11/19/06), breaking the record of 12 yards allowed vs. San Francisco on 12/14/69. The Vikings’ record for fewest rushing yards allowed in a 16-game season was 1,090 yards in 1994, the last time the Vikings ranked #1 in NFL rushing defense. The Vikings allowed 985 yards (61.6 yards per game) on the ground. Since the 1969 AFL-NFL merger only the 2000 Baltimore Ravens have held opponents to under 1,000 rushing yards for the season when the Super Bowl champions held teams to 970 yards.

PICKS FOR SIX When the Vikings returned 2 interceptions for touchdowns in the season opener against the Falcons, they extended a small piece of team history. Over the team’s 47-year history, only 6 times have the Vikings returned 2 interceptions for a touchdown in the same game. In each of those 6 games, the Vikings were victorious.

AT

WHEN THE GAME IS ON THE LINE At Chicago (10/14/07), K Ryan Longwell connected on a game-winning 55-yard fi eld goal as time expired. It was the fi rst 55-yarder of Longwell’s career at any level, and his fi rst 50-yarder as a Viking. The game-winner was also the 12th Longwell has kicked in his outstanding 11-year career. Longwell has made 25-of-25 fi eld goals from inside 45 yards in his Vikings career. His only misses are from 46+ yards.

“He kicked it very well off the grass all week long,” said Head Coach Brad Childress after the game. “He was really sweeping it well, I thought, off the carpet. He likes to kick off the grass. While I thought it was a knock down 7-iron, he told me it was a full driver.”

RECOVERING THE ONSIDEIn Week 8 the Vikings recovered an onside kick in the 1st quarter against the Eagles. It marked the 56th onside attempt in team history and the 13th recovered by the Vikings. It was also the team’s fi rst successful 1st quarter kick in 3 attempts.


VIKINGS TEAM NOTES

SPECIAL TEAMS STARLB Heath Farwell is currently leading the Vi-kings with 13 special teams tackles. In Week 1, Farwell played a key role in pinning the Fal-cons inside their own 20-yard line 5 times. In Week 8 against the Eagles, Farwell recovered the Vikings 1st quarter onside kick, which was the 13th successful onside in team history and the team’s fi rst successful attempt in the 1st quarter. Last season, Farwell led the team with 25 special teams stops and was voted

Special Teams MVP. This season he was named a captain for both the opener vs. Atlanta and the game at Detroit.

VIKINGS HONOR BUD GRANT The Minnesota Vikings celebrated the 40th anniversary of Hall of Fame coach Bud Grant being named the team’s head coach with an evening recognizing Grant’s lifetime achieve-ments in athletics and the outdoors on Septem-ber 18, at the McNamara Alumni Center on the University of Minnesota campus. The event featured Grant’s closest friends, along with many Vikings alumni who played and/or coached alongside him, commenting on his distinguished Hall of Fame career. They in-

cluded former Vikings DE Jim Marshall, longtime Vikings trainer Fred Zamberletti, Star Tribune columnist Sid Hartman, Star Tribune outdoors columnist Dennis Anderson, former Philadelphia Eagles teammate and Hall of Fame linebacker/center Chuck Bednarik, Texas Tech basketball head coach Bob Knight, former University of Minnesota football player Billy Bye, Grant’s son and Eden Prairie head football coach Mike Grant and former Winnipeg Blue Bombers teammates Ken Ploen and Bob McNamara. The Vikings also commissioned nationally recognized artist Terrance Fogarty to create an art print recognizing Grant’s lifetime achievements. The print, which was unveiled at dinner, featured Grant’s high school career at Superior (WI) Central, his time with the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, the University of Minnesota, the Minneapolis Lakers, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the Vikings and his love of the outdoors. Proceeds from the event and print will benefi t the Vikings Children’s Fund. Information on purchasing the print will be released later this fall.

Committed to building the team through the draft, the Vikings are already reaping the rewards of several recent selections. Of the Vikings’ top 9 draft picks over the past 2 seasons (2006-07), 6 started in the 2007 opener, including 2006 selections LB Chad Greenway, CB Cedric Griffi n, T Ryan Cook, QB Tarvaris Jackson and DE Ray Edwards and 2007 2nd round pick WR Sidney Rice. Currently Greenway ranks 2nd on the team with 79 total tackles and is tied for the NFL lead with 3 fumble recoveries. Griffi n has added 48 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery that he returned 28 yards for a TD, while Edwards has notched 3.0 sacks, 31 tackles, 3 forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Offen-sively, Jackson has passed for 600 yards and 2 TDs, while Rice has 18 receptions for 212 yards and 2 TDs. The remaining 3 – RB Adrian Peterson, CB Marcus McCauley and DE Brian Robison – have started since the opener and are also mak-ing their presence felt. Peterson leads the NFL with 1,081 rushing yards on 169 carries. He’s rushed for 8 TDs and added 15 receptions for 220 yards and a score. Robison is 2nd on the team with 3.5 sacks and has 11 total tackles, including 3 for a loss. McCauley has 40 total stops and is tied for 3rd on the team with 6 passes defensed.

DRAFT PICKS CONTRIBUTE

GIVE ME MOORE RB Mewelde Moore, who led the Vikings last year with 36 punt returns for 365 yards (10.1 avg), had his fi rst opportunity to return punts in Week 9 vs. San Diego and fi nished the game with 4 returns for 59 yards (14.8 avg.). In the 4th quarter, Moore returned a punt 42 yards to set up a touchdown on the very next play, a 46-yard scamper by RB Adrian Pe-terson.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESSThe Vikings dedicated the Eagles game (10/28/07) to breast cancer awareness. ZTA “Think Pink” volunteers passed out pink ribbons and collected donations throughout the game. All gameday staff, ushers, ticket takers, along with Vikings cheerleaders, Viktor the Viking and Ragnar wore pink ribbon pins. Head Coach Brad Childress wore a pink ribbon during the game as he did for all October games. Vikings cheerleaders featured pink pom-poms, and the Vikings displayed messages throughout the game on “How Fans Can Continue To Help.”

FROM THE HEAD COACH


MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2007HEAD COACH BRAD CHILDRESS

OK, let’s give you an update on these injuries here fi rst. Adrian Peterson has a lateral collateral ligament tear. Sprain is synonymous with tear I am told and it is in the distal third, which is the lower third of that ligament. What they do is they identify it both clinically and with MRI and then they go ahead and grade it with three being the worst and one being the least. Clinically he has got a two-plus tear in that ligament, and then MRI, two headed to three, so he has got a tear there. Now, the good news is that the knee otherwise is stable. It is isolated to that ligament; PCL, ACL, meniscus, all of the other structures are good in that knee and I am told that is a good healing ligament. If it was a lineman, maybe he’s braced up and plays this week; maybe, he might. But we’ll reserve judgment on what is appropriate for that in time and everybody heals differently. The time it will take for him to get back, no different than with Antoine (Winfi eld) or Tarvaris (Jackson) or Sidney (Rice). We’ll just make sure he’s well before he does come back.

Ryan Cook is still battling through that AC sprain; he has still got some soreness. Eric Frampton, on our second kick, had a groin strain that took him out of the game. Sidney is coming along. Hopefully he’ll work through some things this week. Brian Robison has a Grade 2 elbow sprain. He’ll probably have to brace that up. He fi nished the game and he fi nished with a brace and it didn’t bother him quite as much. Then Antoine Winfi eld ran today and probably is about 85 percent. Everybody else I would just tell you would be bumps and bruises.

About the game yesterday, very diffi cult to win when you convert no third downs and then they have their way converting third downs. I was particularly disappointed to lose to an arch rival like that following a solid effort against a team like a San Diego. So I prefer to cast my gaze backwards and go back and re-capture what was there against San Diego. The bright spot was I thought that we did a great job of covering (punts). Chris Kluwe punted the ball well and there are seven weeks to go in this football season, fi ve of which for us are NFC games, four of which are home, and I just expect this team to rebound. That will be a large part of our message as we head to the Oakland Raiders this week.

Q: Is Peterson’s injury potentially a season-ending one?A: I am told it is not, no.

Q: What is the best-case scenario? Back in two weeks, three weeks?A: I’m real hesitant to put a timeline on that thing. Everybody heals differently. He was wanting to go back in the game yesterday but we didn’t think that was obviously a prudent thing to do with where the game was.

Q: Is he ruled out for Sunday?A: I would think so, yes.

Q: But surgery is not needed?A: No, that is something that scars down and cleans up itself.

Q: Since it is between a Grade 2 and a Grade 3 tear, does that mean that it is essentially not a full tear but is on the way to a full tear?A: You know what; I had to take some notes from the doc here. As far as expounding on that, I would probably be remiss in doing that.

Q: I am not a doctor, but what kind of movement does that affect most?A: And neither am I. Yeah, it’s just a stability factor. It’s his right leg; when he runs right he would notice that. He’s not going to feel anything as he is running straight ahead but obviously he is not a straight-ahead guy and he plays and stuffs that leg in the ground much different than an offensive lineman probably would.

Q: Did you ask the doctors if he could make it worse by playing?A: We’re not going to put him out there until he can protect himself, so he wouldn’t have all of his faculties and so you wouldn’t put him out there. You’d make him worse, yeah.

Q: Does he just rest then all week? A: Oh no, they’ve got a whole protocol that they treat that thing with, whether it is ice, stim, range of motion, weights. There is not a signifi cant amount of swelling that goes along with that thing, and he’ll work just as hard at treating it to get back out on the fi eld.

Q: All things being equal, are you relieved that it is an injury that won’t require surgery?A: Well yeah, with one of those other bodies in there you are talking about anterior cruciate (and) we’re talking about ramping it up to try to get back to training camp, so this is not one of those.

Q: A lot of guys have to go low to tackle him. When you looked at the hit did you think it was a clean hit?A: Yeah, it just looked like somebody was trying to enter and get him on the ground. I didn’t think it was a particularly vicious hit.

Q: Is there anything he could have done differently to not take a blow like that or is that just a football play that is hard to avoid?A: It was probably just a football play that he couldn’t avoid. The guy was a little bit out of his scope of vision, so he was straight up and down on the safety and Al (Harris) kind of entered him on the side. No, I don’t think he could have (avoided it).

Q: It is no secret that he has been a big part of this offense, so how do you move forward this next week or two weeks or whatever it is?A: I think (Chester) did a great job of coming in the game, entering the game and picking up some slack. He had a nice run and a nice screen play there and he obviously has a track record. He’s a good player as well, so just like I mention to you every week, we just expect somebody to pick up from there, both him and Mewelde Moore as well.

Q: What did the Packers do to contain him?A: It was a funny game from the standpoint of when it was 27-0 I think we had 20 plays run. Obviously they were about two to one on their offensive plays to ours. It’s a matter of stopping their extended drives and us being able to sustain a drive there, whether it was that fi rst third-and-one, whether it is a third-and-seven at the end of the fi rst quarter, I just don’t ever feel like we got in a rhythm and warmed up and had one of those extended drives


where you are mixing the run and the pass until later in the game when basically it was a throw most of the time situation.

Q: What was the common thread on the failure to convert on third downs?A: The third and one, I thought they did a good job of stunting their front there and you know maybe Adrian keeps it inside and pushes it for the half a yard instead of sliding it outside. I think the third and seven to (Visanthe) Shiancoe, I thought he was open. I thought we could have made a better throw; the ball kind of scuffed coming out and a couple of those other third downs I thought we were just short of the mark on a couple of those shallow crosses. That is situational football, which I think you have to know and know where you are going with it.

Q: Where do you go with the quarterback situation? A: I kind of erred on the side of caution with Tarvaris. It wasn’t that he couldn’t practice last week but we started Brooks (Bollinger) and it’s still my commitment to want to continue to develop him (Jackson). I do feel like coming out of training camp he was the best quarterback so I would say you would probably end up being back with Tarvaris.

Q: You were very enthused about Troy Williamson before the start of training camp with the vision thing and how hard he worked…A: I was.

Q: He has nine catches, is that unexplainable?A: I don’t know if it’s unexplainable. Typically it has something to do with where he is at within the progression, are you beating your guy, are you catching the ball when it comes to you, and typically if you feel like somebody is going to give you a spark you are trying to fi nd ways the get the football to him. I was high on him; you haven’t seen the production, but if you are being honest, you haven’t seen the production out of this pass game so he is a hard guy to single out.

Q: The situation last week with Williamson, are you concerned that it may have created a distraction that may have carried over to the game on Sunday?A: As I mentioned to you I have to take it as the Minnesota Vikings and I am the head coach and if I had something to do with that then it sits squarely on my shoulders, but hard for me to answer that. You would probably have to ask those guys in the locker room that.

Q: When you watched the fi lm did you notice a lack of effort or an effort that hadn’t reached the level it had the week before?A: I would just say that I didn’t see us play at the level that we played at the week before.

Q: As the coach, how disappointing is that to you? People would think that after the way they played the week before, they would take it to a higher level, not a lower level.A: I think that would be a fair assumption to make. It wasn’t as if we sat back and just assumed that that was going to happen. We had a good week of practice and we just didn’t get it out there on Sunday.

Q: Do you agree with Dwight Smith? He seemed to make it sound like football is a bigger deal for the fans than it is for the players.A: Yeah, well, it’s their job; it’s my job so it’s a big deal to me.

Q: Smith is a pretty demonstrative guy. On the sidelines it didn’t look like a scene you would normally see when a team is down by that much; did you notice that during the game?A: I didn’t notice it and I can’t tell what it was in reference to because my back is generally to the bench. I wouldn’t know.

Q: The success that Ryan Grant had running the ball, was that guys out of position or missed tackles? How do you explain that?A: I can think of the 30-yard touchdown run which they ran three or four more times for minus one, minus two, plus one or plus two. So guys out of their gaps, people not pressing that lane the right way; it was not as if we had not seen that scheme before. We just didn’t get there and support it the correct way.

Q: Did you feel like the defense had the intensity they needed to start the game?A: Once again I would just say I don’t believe we played with the intensity that we played with the week before on either side of the football.

Q: When you talk about wanting to see Jackson over an extended period of time and evaluate him, what is your confi dence level that you will get to that point that you can make a judgment by the end of the year? Is that a reasonable expectation?A: It’s reasonable if he stays healthy; that’s the big if. I don’t think anybody sitting here would be thinking we would be talking about Adrian Peterson. This is a high-impact sport and things like that happen. They happen across this league every week. I would like to be able to evaluate him through the course of a string of games and it doesn’t mean that…I think I’ve said I will know more about him at the end of the year, but by no means do you judge a guy on his fi rst year starting or you probably can most of the guys that start and play their fi rst year.

Q: So it is not so much of deadline or you have to crunch everything in in seven games?A: I just like to have a feel for standard of performance, what I am going to get week in and week out over a course of a string of games.

Q: Do most coaches know after that amount of games? Are you probably going to know or have a gut feeling or a hunch that this is your guy or not your guy? A: I think you will have some indicators. I think you have to be aware of how you are supporting around him, running the football, catching the football and those types of things. The biggest thing you are looking for from the quarterback is his decision making and accuracy and those types of things.

Q: How has Taylor handled his role this year, particularly when you made the switch to Peterson a few games ago?A: He handled it like a man. There is nobody more competitive than Chester is and it’s a quiet kind of fi ery competiveness. Did he like it? No. Did he accept it? Yeah, and I have to give credit to Eric Bieniemy in that area. He has come to work every day and he has been still a great resource for Adrian. Like I have mentioned to you guys before, they have great chemistry in that room. They all hold each other accountable, they are tough on each other, but he has done an outstanding job and he will raise his level of play another notch here as a starter.

Q: Did you talk to him one on one before you made that switch?

FROM THE HEAD COACH

A: I did.

Q: What was that conversation or won’t you tell?A: No, I won’t.

Q: Do you think Jackson is a game where everybody says ‘wow’ away from being productive? Is that what he needs because he doesn’t seem like the most confi dent kid in the world?A: I think there is something to, nothing wins like winning, getting yourself on a roll and not over-thinking things. Not to compare the two besides the fact that they play quarterback; you see the confi dence level that 4 (Brett Favre) plays with on the other side. He doesn’t think twice. He’s been in that system for 16-17 years. You would like to get it to where you are not thinking anything about your system. You are thinking about everything that you see, all the tells that you get on the other side of the football. That’s the biggest thing that I see that other guy do and that’s where you are trying to get this guy to.

Q: Favre hasn’t missed a game in a decade and a half. Do you factor that in as much maybe as the performance or the standard when talking about Jackson? Perhaps he is injury prone from the way he plays?A: Because of the way he plays? I wouldn’t…

Q: He is opening up to injuries more and part of his game is running the ball.A: Yeah, but I would think that yeah, you’ve got to learn how to get down when the time calls for it, but I wouldn’t say because of the way he plays. There are other people that have moved out of the pocket that understand what to do when they get to the sideline and try to take the hits off when you get a chance. Nobody is going to call him a chicken for a quarterback. You don’t want them lowering their shoulder on people; you just as soon have him give himself up.

Q: Then take out the way he plays; just how much do you factor in the fact that he may be injury prone when you make your decision whether he is your guy?A: I think you will over the body of time, and then you ask yourself is this just one particularly bad year? Is it the fact that he is a china doll? Somewhere you have to have some durability and resilience.

Q: Ryan Pickett made a comment that he thought you attacked him differently than they were expecting. Was there a different approach to the running game?A: I don’t know what that would be in reference to. First of all I can’t think of us talking about game-planning Ryan Pickett.

Q: Not him, but the way you attacked the defense and the blocking that went into that?A: No, I can’t say that there was. I am not sure what he was referring to, unless it was a different player playing on top of him, no.

Q: Is there a growing concern on your staff or in the organization that maybe Jackson is a china doll?A: Not from my standpoint, no.

Q: The Packers converted 11 of 17 on third downs; do you see anything there as to why they were able to be so successful?A: Just pressure on the quarterback. A couple times we did have pressure on him. I think we missed a third-and-eight where we had him sacked and he stepped out of one, which would have denied some points there. Getting home when you blitz, (it’s a) double-edged sword when you do pressure, you need to get there. Then a couple times I thought he made, just like Brett does, he pumped some people a yard or two one direction and then brought it back the other way. It’s something rare; it’s something few people can do, but he’s got a big old paw that he can do about what he wants with the football and when he moves he knows where all of those people are.
