This has the makings of good fortune on both sides. DT knows the system at all three regular spots, and the injuries have been digging a huge deficit of linebackers on special teams as well. As the old song goes, “Who’d have thought they’d lead ya… back here where we need ya?”

No real pass rush for the money. bad hands at reciever, again. A coach who scripts the most predictable offense, and won’t use the best running back we’ve had since r. smith in creative ways. A year of patience, that only minnesotian’s could have, with a boring offence and a clearly mediocre quarterback. Now we have a solid backup leading an unconvincing “division championship” team. E.J. out hurts. It showed against the Saints in the second half of that game, and, clearly, against the lions. This move will help, a little, but our team needs heart to provide convincing wins. Top down, childress goes. …At the very least, he’ll probably school the giants this year (again). We need a coach who knows the NFC north.
