Henderson has been a great middle linebacker for the Vikings. We can only hope that Kevin Williams and Pat Williams are a big reason Viking linebackers are free to make plays. After all, the Viking run defense was spectacular in 2006 with Napoleon Harris at middle linebacker, too.
Henderson is also great fun to watch: it's thrilling to watch him run around Thunderdome making spectacular plays. Sad that he'll be out.
For our team, which can rely on no big plays from the offense, we must rely on them from the defense. Losing a player like E.J. takes that small chance of a game changing defensive play and then makes it even smaller.
ReplyDeleteI'd almost prefer a bad season where we can guarantee Childress' termination as well as a high draft pick (since we didn't get many high picks in this years' draft)
