Posts Tagged ‘Brady Quinn’

I am so Purple pumped, I can hardly contain it. The season is about to start and I can’t wait. The long preparation from the 2008 campaign to opening kickoff is almost over.

Boom, boom.

Can you feel it? It is a palpable, ever intensifying drum beat of of battle. They can hear it Green Bay, Chicago and even Detroit. It is getting louder.

Brett Favre ’s arrival only solidifies the Vikings as the crème of the crop in the NFC North. – Detroit News

Boom, boom.

There has been the good word that the Williams Wall will start game one and the rest of the season. If you are a Brownies fan, you might think otherwise. How many sacks and interceptions will this top 5 defense rack up in week one? Who will be at the receiving end, Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson [does it really matter], of Jared Allen’s fury, EJ Henderson’s sinus clearing hits, or Antoine Winfield’s pick 6?

Boom, boom.

How about that primed for battle offense with the best back in the league? 2000 yards is heard whispering on the winds. Chester Taylor is probably the best 3rd down back in the business and the #2 punch that is deadly. Speedsters that can catch, Bernard Berrian, Percy “Rookie of the Year” Harvin and his “WOW!” factor, Visanthe Shaincoe who has developed into one of the best pass catching tight ends around, and the rest of the stable of more than capable point producers.

Boom, boom.

They are lead by the ageless ironman, Brett Favre. He has more experience in this offense than most of his coaches. He knows the correct read within milliseconds, and still can plant a football through the Vikings indoor practice facility’s wall. But his throwing is only secondary to making the right decisions and handing the ball of to Adrian Peterson. This is AD’s offense, and Brett will just help to open it up even more.

Boom, boom.

So man your oars, the longboat is ready and provisioned. The quest starts Sunday, one with a goal of raping, pillaging and burning up the NFC North and the rest of the league. The journey will culminate in Vikings glory in Miami.

Boom, boom.

Hear the battle axes and swords banging against the mighty Vikings shields. Can you feel it?

BOOM, BOOM!
