It could be a way to get him on the field more"

Since he was a seventh-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft Ben Gedeon Jersey , Minnesota Vikings safety Jayron Kearse has climbing his way up the depth charts. He’s always been an outstanding special teams player, and he’s started to get more snaps on defense as well. However, his path to starting at safety appears to be blocked by the emergence of Anthony Harris, who was outstanding in 2018 after taking over the starting spot.The Vikings look like they might be taking a step towards finding a way to get Kearse on the field even more often.According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Vikings are considering moving the 6’4”, 215-pound Kearse to the weakside linebacker position.Right now, the Vikings’ starting weakside linebacker spot is occupied by Ben Gedeon, but Gedeon also comes off the field when the Vikings go into their sub packages. In recent years, one of the ways that teams have found success against the Vikings is by using offensive personnel groupings that force the Vikings to stay in their base 4-3 defense rather than deploying more members of the secondary in nickel and dime packages instead. If Kearse were able to take over as the weakside linebacker instead of Gedeon, it might give them enough flexibility to adjust to what opponents are doing, allowing the team to shift to more of a “big nickel” look if necessary.You would have to assume that Kearse would have to add a little weight in order to make the full-time transition to linebacker, and perhaps the team has already told him that’s something he needs to work towards doing. In any case, I don’t think the move of Jayron Kearse to linebacker is a bad idea Cameron Smith Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , and it will be interesting to see how. . .or if. . .this is implemented in the offseason programs and into the preseason.

We had no upsets in the first round, so now we’ll see who gets a spot in our Final Four with our next matchup: the 1976 NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams versus the 2004 Wildcard against the Green Bay Packers.1976 NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams: The Vikings and the Rams had a pretty significant rivalry in the 1970’s, and it seems like they met in the playoffs every year. If ever a Rams team was going to knock off the Vikes, it kind of felt like 1976 was it. The two teams had played to a 10-10 tie in week 2, and the Rams opened up this game by marching right down the field. But their drive stalled at about the one inch line Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , and on the ensuing field goal attempt, the kick was blocked and returned 90 yards for a touchdown by Bobby Bryant. That set the tone of the game, as the Rams just seemed to shoot themselves in the foot as much as anything. They managed to get to within 17-13 by the start of the fourth quarter, but a Sammy Johnson 12 yard TD run sealed the game, sending the Vikes to their fourth Super Bowl, and third in four years.2004 Wildcard game against the Green Bay Packers. The 2004 season was the Mike Tice era in a nutshell. At times, the VIkings looked like world beaters, while at other times they couldn’t get out of their own way. Needing a win to clinch a playoff spot the last week of the season, they lost on the road to Washington, and Randy Moss infamously walked off the field early. The Vikes still backed in as the last wildcard, though, and went to Green Bay, where no one...not even the most ardent Vikings fans Cameron Smith Jersey nfl draft , thought they had a shot. But the Vikes dominated the Packers.Future Vikings great Brett Favre threw four picks, was sacked four times, and never really got in sync all day. On the other hand, MVP runner-up Daunte Culpepper was spectacular. He threw for 284 yards and 4 TD’s, two of them to Moss. The Superfreak’s second TD over Al Harris essentially ended the game, and culminated in the now legendary ‘Moon over Lambeau’, which in fact was not a disgusting act. The Vikes won 31-17, and for me, this was one of the most gratifying wins in team history. Walking into Lambeau and slapping around their most bitter rival, who was pretty much everyone’s darling to go to the Super Bowl, was just glorious to watch, from the opening kickoff to the final gun.
