He’s also hoping that happens in Minnesota after completing a one-year deal, and it sounds like GM Rick Spielman believes that’s a possibility. Will ‘the dog come out’ and see Simpson ‘really thrive?’ http://min.scout.com/2/1257671.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1257671.html Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:07:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min The Vikings’ receiving corps is finding ways to make the passing game work without Percy Harvin. It’s more of a group effort that is finding timely success when they need it most. http://min.scout.com/2/1253394.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1253394.html Mon, 31 Dec 2012 06:08:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min It didn’t seem like it, but the Vikings’ passing game accounted for half of their first downs, thanks to some unlikely sources. Seldom-used receivers were a big part of the success Sunday. Plus, the Vikings applied pressure in different ways, Blair Walsh had an all-around big day and several interesting stats on Adrian Peterson and others. http://min.scout.com/2/1249982.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1249982.html Mon, 17 Dec 2012 13:23:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min The Vikings’ dependence on Percy Harvin was evident before and after his injury. The playing percentages and production before and after his injury show there was only one beneficiary in his absence. http://min.scout.com/2/1246759.html 2047 John Holler http://min.scout.com/2/1246759.html Wed, 05 Dec 2012 18:55:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min The blame game for the team’s passing woes are being directed at Christian Ponder, but Leslie Frazier said the receivers need to do a better job, too. Without Percy Harvin, receptions from the position have been hard to come by and the passing game has fallen to the worst in the league. At look at the lack of production inside. http://min.scout.com/2/1246146.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1246146.html Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:15:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min The Vikings will keep an interested eye on Clay Matthews’ status for Sunday’s game and they admit his presence will change Minnesota’s approach. Plus, more talk on the dropped passes and how they were addressed, injury updates and more. http://min.scout.com/2/1244912.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1244912.html Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:12:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min Leslie Frazier was critical of the Vikings’ numerous dropped passes Sunday, saying it would be an emphasis in this week’s preparation for the Green Bay Packers. http://min.scout.com/2/1244124.html 2047 Dave Campbell http://min.scout.com/2/1244124.html Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:01:00 GMT 0 63 Minnesota min The Vikings had breakdowns in several statistical categories, living up to Jared Allen’s assessment of how games in Chicago usually go for the Vikings. Plus, receivers dropped numerous passes with Jerome Simpson leading the way, and the playoffs are still very much a possibility after Sunday afternoon’s results. http://min.scout.com/2/1243573.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1243573.html Mon, 26 Nov 2012 00:47:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min Jerome Simpson believes he got to the source of his nerve problems with a simple solution and he finally got his “juice back” in Thursday’s practice. http://min.scout.com/2/1238062.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1238062.html Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:32:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min The Vikings are looking for ways to get Jerome Simpson more involved, and that could start with mixing up his routes. Simpson and Bill Musgrave talked about that, and the stats support it. http://min.scout.com/2/1235689.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1235689.html Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:57:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min The Vikings didn’t want to revisit the Tampa Bay loss too long, but a return to the basics was part of their strategy Monday. For the receivers, that meant attention to route-running. http://min.scout.com/2/1234755.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1234755.html Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:55:00 GMT 0 63 Minnesota min The offense knew their slow start and turnovers had a lot to with the Vikings’ 36-17 loss Thursday night. http://min.scout.com/2/1233724.html 2047 John Holler http://min.scout.com/2/1233724.html Fri, 26 Oct 2012 05:33:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min Vikings defensive end Brian Robison had a career game, taking full advantage of a favorable matchup. Plus, Jerome Simpson had an impact in his return, there was good news and bad news in the red zone, penalties cost the Vikings some big plays, and more notes. http://min.scout.com/2/1232371.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1232371.html Mon, 22 Oct 2012 11:14:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min The Vikings got two of their best players, Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen, back on the field Friday, which should give them nearly all available options for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. Also, Jerome Simpson is expected to start, other injury news, and former Viking Jimmy Kennedy fires back at the NFL. http://min.scout.com/2/1231596.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1231596.html Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:55:00 GMT 0 63 Minnesota min WR Jerome Simpson talked about the misperceptions surrounding his injury, the scare it gave him and the money it cost him. http://min.scout.com/2/1231014.html 2047 John Holler http://min.scout.com/2/1231014.html Wed, 17 Oct 2012 20:29:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min Jerome Simpson believes he was ready to play Sunday, but Vikings coach Leslie Frazier made the decision to sit him because of a back injury. http://min.scout.com/2/1230390.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1230390.html Tue, 16 Oct 2012 01:03:00 GMT 0 63 Minnesota min The Redskins were committed to stopping the Vikings near the line of scrimmage, but Minnesota didn’t fully take advantage. Was it play-calling or lack of execution? Depends who you ask, but players and coaches discussed the possibilities and we break down the Redskins’ approach. http://min.scout.com/2/1230346.html 2047 Tim Yotter http://min.scout.com/2/1230346.html Mon, 15 Oct 2012 22:09:00 GMT 1 63 Minnesota min
