First and foremost, Vikings #1 goal was to test our QB's with pressure and would have made adjustments according to how we fared under those circumstances. They never had to make any real adjustments.
I can't say we kept everything short, we ran a ton of deep routes throughout the game. Several things affected where the ball ended up.
1) Offensive line wasn't holding up even without extra blitzers.
2) Hill didn't look comfortable, Davis has poor pocket awareness. We have to have great line play for either to succeed.
3) Schotty's overall playcalling was flat, generic, stagnant, and predictable. Schotty wasn't fooling anybody on a consistent basis yesterday. It was like we beleived we could just bull doze the Vikings on the ground despite constant extra men in the box. We did eventually open it up late in the game, which leads me to my next point.
4) I'm hoping it was just one game, but Hill and Davis had me thinking of Chase Keenum the whole second half. Hill moves like a 34 year old QB and there's little question his career is in its twilight. Not a bad option to hold down the fort for 2-3 games. It just goes to show how huge the Bradford injury was.
No question we have a real chance to light that Viking defense up with Bradford. Bradford has a gun that no other QB on this team has and the Vikings would have backed off. People say cut him??? I don't know how that makes any sense whatsoever if he takes a pay cut. He's worlds better than what we have and better than who's coming out of college. After what I saw yesterday, I'd keep him without a pay cut. That's how bad Hill and Davis looked. No rookie QB is gonna come in and light anybody up.
