Greetings Rubes!
Well, as unlikely as it would have seemed a week ago, WR Randy Moss will be back
in a Vikings jersey for at least the forseeable future. OH YES!! Fantastic
move. Then again, there's no secret to what happened here. Obviously the
Vikings brass received word of my recent scathing indictment of the handling of
the Sidney Rice absence, knew I was making them look bad, and decided to rectify
the situation by going out and getting Randy Moss. Therefore,.....I am taking
full credit.....and gratuities will be accepted. Moss is still one of the most dangerous deep threats in the league and knowing
that he plays biggest when he's motivated, this could be a lot of fun. (Picture
Brett Favre,... sitting on his mower......giggling to himself) But really,
think of it this way: Even if he doesn't come busting out with a 9 catch, 172
yard, 3 touchdown game Monday night against the Jets, just having him standing
out there immediately improves the running game by getting those safeties to
step further back from the line of scrimmage. Hell, the fade pattern might be
brought out of mothballs? Percy in the slot may wind up facing nothing but
safeties and linebackers....HA! Now let's see what Brad "The Mad Scientist"
Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell can come up with to get the
hitch out of the offense's giddy-up.
There's no question the Vikes are in "all-in" mode this season, and with good
reason. Decisions will have to be made in the offseason regarding a bunch of
free agents: K Ryan Longwell, LB Chad Greenway, DE Ray Edwards, WR Sidney Rice,
and LB Ben Leber to name a few. Not to mention that it's entirely possible that
next years starting QB is not on the current Vikings roster, so that's one more
thing to consider. Let's just re-focus and take this season a game at a time
and start building some momentum.
