Cards add Levi. They finished .500. They won 3 more games than last season.

Vikes add AP. They finished .500. They won 2 more games than last season.

Good picks for both teams.

AP finished with just over 100 yards more than Edge. 1341-1222.

If we are going to take Levi over AP, then we need to follow through with the committment and sign Alan Faneca. Otherwise, our o-line will continue to have holes.

AP missed two games.

AP only had 144 yards on 54 carries in the last 4 games combined. That is 2.6 YPC. Teams are zoning in on him now. Chester Taylor had 29 carries for 229 carries. That is 7.9 YPC. I am not sold on AP. That NFL is a tough league. I will wait 3 years to see where he is.

Edge had 79 carries for 300 yards in the last 4 games. That is 3.8 YPC. The old man is still running hard.

I still believe we made the right pick. Levi finished the season almost the way he started it and he looks good.

But Im def sold on Adrian Peterson.

Wasn't that the knock on him coming out of college? Showing up for every game is something that needs to be taken in to consideration.

yes

Yeah, but Edge ran behind our line.

Which included Brown who apparently is better than AP since he contributed one more win to us so obviously Edge couldn't have had it too bad.

8-8 is great it's just impossible for me not to look at the 2 SF games and some of the other Rackers misses and think what if.

But for a first year coach with a ton of injuries this was a nice way to finish up. Next years schedule probably won't be this easy so I hope we get healthy and fix some issues but I'm impressed with the first year of Wiz.

Part not being healthy but mainly teams are playing 8 and 9 in the box and then when AP goes out, they go back to a normal defense. That's why Taylor is doing so much better of late.

The Vikings were held back all year by Tarvaris Jackson, I'm not sure why they like him but they do so they basically gave him a year of OTJ training.
