Your New Vikings Highlight Video Of The Indeterminate Time Period

by Christopher Gates on Jun 26, 2011 6:10 PM CDT in Minnesota Vikings

I apologize for the lack of "action" around these parts for the last couple of days. . .Mrs. Gonzo had some surgery on Friday morning that's going to have her on the disabled list for a bit. However, everything went well and she's resting comfortably here at home, and since yours truly has the next week or so off while she is recovering, things should pick back up to their normal pace starting tomorrow.

So, for now, it's time for another Vikings' highlight video go bridge the gap into tomorrow, and this one will give us the longest rushing play in the history of the Minnesota Vikings. . .a play that does not belong to Adrian Peterson or Chuck Foreman or Michael Bennett, but to Chester Taylor. Taylor was pretty much the only highlight of the Vikings' offense in the first year of the Brad Childress regime, and this particular play was the highlight of Taylor's season.

Things were looking up for the Vikings after this one in 2006, as the victory over the Seahawks pushed their record to 4-2 at that point. Then, Tom Brady came into the Metrodome on a Monday night, showed the entire world that the Vikings' defense had absolutely, positively no way of stopping the pass, and the Vikings lost eight of their last ten to finish with a 6-10 record.

But we wound up with Adrian Peterson out of that deal. . .so, it seems like a fair exchange.

Back to the normal pace tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen. . .enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Great run

But that was foreshadowing of the chilly line play. The hole was stuffed and Chester made one heck of a play.

Yep

On most long runs, you can point to a great block or something that helped blow things open.

That run, however, was all #29.

3rd and 4 or more

I remember being able to say something like, “Hey, look…it’s 3rd down and 4 or more to go, so that means that Chester Taylor is going to catch a pass!” I was on well over 90% of the time. I couldn’t believe that opponents didn’t game plan for that since it was so predictable.

What a run created by the Kick A$$ Offense : )

Didn’t Mewelde Moore or someone throw a HB pass for TD in this game too? Or am I thinking of something else

CT recieved the handoff on the goal line

Then he had to go 5 yards to the line of scrimmage, through Seahawk traffic.

So, a 95 yrd TD, but really, CT did an even 100. Very sweet.

Man, can’t the season start?!?! They need to get the agreement in place and put cleats on the ground, baby!

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!
