The Finger
News Flash! Kleinsasser drops the ball! It just about killed
me. Jim doesn't require forgiveness ... never did ... not for what he's
done ... it won't happen again ... but it was the world ... his chance in the
sun. That would be his one and only chance that day. What turns on
that play? Neither Shiancoe nor the Chelor Slash gets it rolling, although
Percy certainly did. Result 2.5 yards per carry. Herein lies
the keys ... yards down the field be damned!
So there weren't many
balls beyond 5 yards ... panic to the world. To this bit of nonsense let
us look deeply at a toss that just made it to the line of scrimmage. It
was a bit of misdirection of Harvin going left, Peterson on the short toss going
right. AD bashes his way down to toward the goal line. It brings a
tear to my eye just thinking about it. There wasn't a team ever conceived
that could deal with it ... ever! I filled my gap ... What the
hell!@ It worked so well for the Vikings that it's soon to be
outlawed. Farve just breaks the 100 yard barrier ... we need more vertical
yards ... are you kidding me? Smell the toast. We're the
bomb! When Farve finally chooses to hit the long ball ... brown
shorts! Berrian ... in due time!
News flash! The
long ball is not going to get these idiots out of their gaps. Misdirection
will. With AD ... they have no choice ... they are moving ... there is no
other game plan available. Destroy what is balanced! Exploit what is
unbalanced!
A 2009 wish bestowed ...
to be Steve Jordan way back in 1987 where not one Viking crossed that
line. He was the rock of that team. Standing in those shoes
I'd demand just one thing for my team ... "The Finger". A demand
to be able to run at least one play per game drawn up with a finger in the
dirt. Tahi leading Kleinsasser downfield left. Harvin and Peterson
sweeping right. Chelor rolling the rock left halfback optioning targeting
Sass! What the hell was that! Coaches scratching their heads!
Players laughing their butts off! It doesn't matter what it is ... just do
it!
These are just a bunch of
kids ... yeah, coaches too! Gotta do this ... Gotta do that! What we
gotta do Chilly is get it all out of our system.
Kurt Warner looked to be
1,000 years old. Then it hit me. Farve isn't getting older ... he's
getting younger. By the end of the year, it's hard to imagine exactly how
young he might get. Could the entire game plan end up looking like
"The Finger"?
AD comes off the field
with blood trailing down his arm. Black, blue, blood and purple; it
doesn't get any better than this! The only thing that was missing was a
Studwell slobber-snotter, standing in his blood soaked pants!
"Hi, I'm Brett
Farve". Harvin greeting's ... standing with a wide smile somewhat in
shock ... what must he be thinking ... how do I respond to the legend.
"You're going to make me look good". It was like Forrest Gump
being told, "Don't do nothing stupid like getting yourself
killed". Harvin had almost the exact the same response. I hope
I don't disappoint him (Lt. Dan). Harvin didn't.
Toine' makes the pro
bowl. He's opens eyes. Now they gush over his field marshal dictates
... providing the blue print. His platoon responds. They say he is
the most feared on the field ... no doubt it maybe true however, Toine' is now
just one in that platoon. Most dangerous ... yes, because they feed off
him. Superlatives be damned at who is best ... it matters not! What
is clear regardless of whether its Toine' laying lumber or AD lowering his pads,
finishing off a run ... we're puking just thinking about it. Screaming
nightmares is the order of the day!
A Viking prayer.
Message to the omnipotent one. Commish, do not flex our noon central start
November 29, 2009 to Sunday night.
Don't fall into the
trap. LT states, "I was an every down back". He's clearly
calling out AD's manhood trying to force a bad decision. The difference is
LT had no choice about what he was going to be ... what he was going to do ...
and how he was going to do it. He's now in a different place and he has
little choice over its future. AD has an option. AD's response,
"I was a consummate professional". They are allowing me to do
some stuff. I was made to learn less is more. The perfect game ... 3
carries ... 200 yards. No team on the planet can deal with AD when he's
being fed the ball in the 3rd and 4th quarter, regardless if it's with a lead or
not.
