I sure as hell hope he finds his while wearing a Vikings uniform. I would love it if he finds himself in a position to demand big bucks next season.

Evidently you haven’t seen WR Jenkins run the go route, looks like he’s running with ankle weights. Not only will he stretch defenses, he’s going to break them. This is a dimension that has been missing in the passing game since Sidney Rice bolted for the Northwest rehab center in Seattle. The thing is, Simpson can take a short catch to the house. With a improved OL, run game with Peterson, Harvin and Rudolph prowling for short and intermediate routes forcing the back seven to choose their poison. He’s going to get looks. Damn skippy their going to play him and ride him like a two hump camel.

Not me.

Can’t ignore him. I also like check down passes to AD in space. Many things Ponder can do. Can our D keep us in the game? Will be fun to watch. I’m thinking we steal a W here.

He caught the pass near the sideline and blew pass everybody on the way to the end zone. I didn’t realize he was that fast. Exactly why the Vikings acquired his services.

Who’s laughing? You may be keeping Ponder for the next decade.

I’ve never seen him play before but he is very fast. If Jerome Simpson can stretch the field then AP and Ponder can run and keep things off balance. I hope the Vikings do well this year. They by far have the best mascot in the league. It was funny last week when he took a field goal off of his chest. I think the Viking mascot inspires Jared Allen.

But the Lions do as well! I see this game coming down to who has the least amount of mistakes! Be it Penalties,Fumbles,Interceptions or Blown assignment’s Close game a field goal could decide the outcome! Simpson has had a good a connection with Ponder, Ponder now has his deep threat!!

AP. Percy. Rudolph. Who you going to cover? All of them? Fine. Ponder scrambles up the middle for 25. Simpson reverse for 20. Percy everywhere. AP everywhere. Rudolph one handed catches for TD’s. Ponder with zero interceptions. 1st round pick at left tackle. Hey, maybe this team isn’t so bad after all!
