The Vikings offensive line – despite an okay showing Saturday night against the Cowboys – continues to be a concern. So is the fact the Cowboys cut veteran center Andre Gurode of any interest to the Minnesota brain thrust? The Vikings current starter at center – John Sullivan – continues to get less than rave reviews for his play. Gurode isn't a left tackle, but it would be a start.
Other stuff
* I guess the Vikings were smart not to resign Chester Taylor last year? (And I'm not piling on Chester here. I loved him when he played for the Vikings.)
* Beware of theories that a new offensive philosophy is going to lead to a monster year for Adrian Peterson. AP will have a career year if his offensive line can consistently open some holes for him (unlikely). Whether this line is running a West Coast zone blocking scheme or not, it's still a bad line.
* I'm not sure what to make of the Vikings playing Everson Griffen as a rushing linebacker. I keep hearing he's progressing, but I have yet to see him do anything on the field.
