2010: 6-10
Offense:
I still have faith in Donovan McNabb and I think that Donovan can survive in Sota especially that they have a strong run game in Adrian Peterson. But McNabb is a stopgap for first round pick Christian Ponder, so if there is any injury, that could spell another uncomfortable McNabb moment.
The Vikings feature some nice firepower at the skill positions, but they suffered a blow in free agency when Sidney Rice bolted for Seattle and a big paycheck. Rice has been prone to injury, but when healthy he provided a much-needed deep threat.
They still have AP, Visanthe Shianco, and Percy Harvin. That should be enough for McNabb to run an offense.
Defense:
The defense will remain tip top because of talent such as defensive tackle Kevin Williams, who remains the anchor of the Vikings’ interior attack. Williams won’t have much help save Letroy Guion, who is good for one or two down stints but probably isn’t a full-time starter, and newly acquired Remi Ayodele. Depth will be an issue inside. The right edge will provide a dozen or more sacks every year thanks to Jared Allen, who sometimes resorts to flailing against elite left tackles but always finds his stride through a 16-game season.
That dictates the whole defense and will pave the way on the success of Antoine Winfield, Cedric Griffin and Chris Cook, Chad Greenway and E.J. Henderson.
Overall:
Upgrade from last year, 9-7
