Minnesota Vikings vs New York Giants Week 4 review and grades
The Quarterback Situation – Grade: B
Sam Bradford has been the quarterback all Vikings fans were hoping we were getting to fill in for the injured Teddy Bridgewater. Considering that the Vikings offense still had plenty of questions with Teddy at QB, it’s amazing to think that a whole new offense minus, not just Teddy, but also without AP, has managed to flourish in Norv Turners offensive system. The wildcat formations, popular in some offenses are over rated, it would be nice to see a flea flicker mixed in. Overall solid job just looking for advancement, it’s nice to see the ball being consistently spread to many different receivers, it adds to the overall team makeup this team flourishes with.
The O-Line Situation – Grade: B+
Consistent, a beautiful word to describe what the Minnesota offensive line has become. With the high price tag that was applied to “fixing” our offensive line woes, it’s nice to see some returns on that investment. Not to beat a dead horse, but it’s been much more consistent since Matt Khalil has not been able to play. A lot of expectations were not being met, it’s refreshing to see younger players being able to jump in and be contributors. It’s also nice to see that Alex Boone is starting to play at his highest level as a Viking, another return on a big investment full of expectations. Sam Bradford has to be starting to feel a much higher level of comfort behind his line, and it’s shown up in his performances as well, watching for plays to develop as opposed to making snap decisions.
