Minnesota Vikings

[BoiseCowboys]

Heres what I came up with. I wanted to try a new team for my NFL league and I don't really watch the Vikings play but I wanted to try a run-oriented team since my last team was the Cowboys and was very pass-heavy. Let me know any changes I need to make!! I plan on keeping all of these players, but just not sure about their abilities.

G - RB Adrian Peterson [Power, Breakaway Burst, Speed Burner]
G - OG Steve Hutchinson [Leadership, Stonewall, Bulldozer]

S - CB Antoine Winstrom (Winfield) [Coverage, Quick feet]
S - DT Kevin Williams [Run Coverage, Strength]
S - SS Darren Sharpe (Sharper) [Closing Speed, Leadership]

B - WR Sedrick (Sidney) Rice [Soft Hands]
B - TE Vincent Shavies (Visante Shiancoe) [Possession Reciever]
B - OT Bryan(t) McKinnie [Bull Dozer]
B - DT Patrick (Pat) Williams [Run Reader]
B - MLB Ed (E.J.) Henderson [Quick Feet]
B - CB Cedric Griffin [Coverage]

Adrian Peterson is not that fast, just give him speed or breakaway, not both.
Give him Finnesse and Power, Quick Feet, Speed.

[LSUTIGERSPHXSUNS]

Cause I've seen Peterson, and he should have both finnesse and power.

IMO Darren Sharper needs to have Ball Hawk, cause that is a huge part of his game, and also Big hit cause ive seen him hit really hard. But he also is a really good leader, so you really make a case for all of those abilities.

Uh, learn your facts sir. AD had the second highest 40 yard dash time, only behind Chris Henry (i believe thats his name, the Titans drafted him) and he abused the NFL substance abuse for performance enhancing drugs, so his 40 time way most likely inflated. So yea, AD deserves to have speed burner. A well made AD shold have....

(Speed Burner, Cutback Ability, Strength Bonus, Break Away Burst, Finesse and Power)

[BoiseCowboys]

Thanks man, I've seen Peterson play a couple times, mostly in the Fiesta Bowl last year. I checked his profile and he ran a 4.38 40 yard dash at the combine so I figured he was pretty fast. And I didn't know what to add to Darren Sharper but I'll definately add ball hawk instead of quick feet.

that is exactly how i have my Peterson made except i have quick feet instead of strength, but if i had to pick 3 then I would say Speed, Quick Feet, and Finesse & Power

Peterson (Power, Speed Burner, Branching Tackles)
Winfield (Coverage Bonus, Big Hit)
Sharper (Leadership, Ball Hawk)
Griffin (Ball Hawk)

and Visante Shiancoe-NO (He is not very good)
Switch with Taylor
or if you don't want him, the get Williamson, or Wade, or Smith, ect. There are a lot you can get besides him that are a lot better.

[Titans_Matt]

Yall are insane if you want to give Peterson the 5 most accurate abilities then do this.

Branching Tackles, Speed Burner, Power, Finesse, and Cutback Ability

[BoiseCowboys]

Peterson (Power, Speed Burner, Branching Tackles)
Winfield (Coverage Bonus, Big Hit)
Sharper (Leadership, Ball Hawk)
Griffin (Ball Hawk)

Thanks for the info but I want a TE on my team and Shiancoe the starter... lol

What about the other guys? Anyone else have any input on anyone other than AD?!?!

[guava9]

I have some ideas for you;)

Adrian Peterson: Durability, Secure Ball Bonus, Possession Receiver
Steve Hutchinson: Durability, Quick Feet, Clutch

Winfield: Durabilit, Loose Ball Magnet
Kevin Williams: Durability, Loose Ball Magnet
Sharper: Durability, Loose Ball Magnet

Rice: Secure Ball Bonus
Shavies: Secure Ball Bonus
McKinnie: Durability
Pat Williams: Loose Ball Magnet
Henderson: Loose Ball Magnet
Griffin: Loose Ball Magnet

If you really win our league, do this. :)

I never said that he doesn't deserve speed burner, I just said that to make him more accurate, you should not give him both speed burner and breakaway burst.

IMO he doesn't deserve strength, cause he is not one of the strongest HBs in the league. His definite abilities would be finnesse and power, speed, branching tackles.

[LSUTIGERSPHXSUNS]

Antoine Winfield definitely needs big hit, hes a beast. IMO Ced Griffin has to have either run coverage or wrap up tackler.

[jtrainn24]

if peterson had the second highest 40 time than he would be one very slow man...

By highest you know that I meant best. 2nd best. Who actually would say lowest? No one. You wouldnt say "well Im trying to get my rank lower in All Pro today" would you? No, youd say "Im trying to get my rank higher" even though the number (1) is actually lower than where you are. In this case, lower number = higher rank = AD is a fast man.

Ah okay, we were on different pages there, thats all. :)

^^^ I'm sorry if I offended you, I tend to do that to people sometimes.

Both golds should go to OL. They win games not AD. Anyone could run through the holes the line man set up for him. Look at the fact that Taylor was having AD type of games when AD was injured. AD can only prove he is good when he gets hit before he crosses the line. He hasnt showed power yet in my opinion. He was power in Oklahoma but now he is pure finesse. The true power runners are Gore, Lynch, Rudi, and so on. You get the name power by not going down untill the whole D is on you. Also name one time AD got more than one yard when there wasnt a hole. He makes plays from something. He cant make a play out of nothing.


AD- Finesse, quick feet, (if nessessary Power)
