The Vikings are looking for to shore up the last few roster spots and decide who to put on the practice squad. The amount of depth on the team really did show in the 28-7 victory.
The battle for the third down and backup back was very close. Young rushed for negative 7 yards, while picking up the blitz on all, but one time. Gerhardt ran for 24 yards on 8 carries and also missed one block on a blitz. Young ran well with all, but one of his runs.
The cornerbacks all played very well. Sapp, Cook, Sheppard, and Allen all tackled and covered very well.
The entire defensive line all played so well against the Rams. There is a lot of talent on the defensive line.
The safeties all played well. Williams played extremely well with a couple of solid tackles.
The only area of concern was on special teams. They weren't filling the gaps well and had a costly penalty. Not filling the gaps was the reason the Rams took a kick back for a touchdown.
Two other things I'd like to mention. Hoe Webb looked very impressive. He has a strong arm with touch. When nobody was open he ran very fast and with strength. He reminded me of Dante Culpepper. Our 5th round pick offensive guard DeGeare looked good and bad at times. He missed a few blocks but smacked a few Rams players on other plays. He looks like a solid player in the future.
