The Jets and Lions are starting rookie’s who were experienced against good colleges teams, taught by D1 coaches and were well regarded.

Asking a Division 2 player from a spread offense to come in and play like Stafford or Sanchez is ridiculous.

give Null a shot , it can not get any worse

Howie long gave farve trouble in his last years. I’m thinking Chris should at least get one sack that’d be cool. I wonder if thiers any other father son combo thats done that.

insane….start Null against the Vikings?
The Vikings are one of the most complete defensive teams in the league. They have the run stuffers in the William boys. They have the pass rush…Allen had 4.5 sacks against GB. They have solid LB play…EJ Henderson will be a star in the league. A solid secondary that benefits from great pass rush.
So lets look at this again, you want to start a rookie, 7th round QB that will be nervous as hell making his first start, and you want to play him against THAT Defense with OUR offense?
Talk about throwing a lamb to the wolves. It would be like going to a gun fight with a slingshot. Not only would that be fucked up, but it is highly unlikely.
Just what would you expect to see from him?

I have seen Farve in action with Peterson and it is not pretty.

Are you saying the Viking’s offense isn’t playing well? I beg to differ. We’ve scored at least 27 points in every game. Favre has 8 TDs to only 1 (questionable) INT. Peterson is the second leading rusher in the league and leader in TDs. Harvin adds an emensely confusing selection of trick plays to keep D’s off balance. Maybe its not as beautiful as say the Colts, but there offense is plenty “pretty” right now.

Make sure the secondary is stornger than usual

Oh. Is that all? Easy. Just increase their Spd and Cov skills by hitting X, X, O, X, up, down…

A Ram win Sunday against the Vikes would be a bigger upset than Joe Namath and the Jets taking out the Colts in the ‘69 Super Bowl. For starters, let’s try to avoid our usual repetitive playcalling; incomplete pass on 1st down, followed by a SJax run for 3 yards, and then an incompletion (or 3-4 yd completion) resulting in 4th down and a punt. 3 and out. Everybody knows that’s what we’re going to do. Try something different like 3 straight runs or 3 straight passes or going for it on 4th down or an onsides kick or a fake punt. Try anything different. Heck let SJax throw a pass. He can’t block, but maybe he can throw. Then try the old shovel pass. Anything but the status quo. We’re 1-4 in FG tries, so don’t kick anything except long ones. If we get in the redzone, play 4-down football. On defense, blitz and blitz some more. We gotta get some pressure on Favre and it ain’t gonna come from our “Fearful Foursome” D-Line.
Lastly maybe Favre and Peterson will accidentally trip and fall into each other causing each to be a little dazed for awhile so we keep the point spread under 30.
