Player Analysis: Chester Taylor spent the last four seasons backing up Jamal Lewis in Baltimore and performed pretty well in the role to say the least. Last season he put up close to 800 total yards (487 rushing, 292 receiving). This year is his debut as a starting back, and will be the test to see if he can handle the workload. The new offensive scheme which emphasizes the running game will give him more than enough touches to establish a separate name for himself...kind of like the last backup for Jamal Lewis did - Priest Holmes.
Fantasy Football Impact: Though there is risk involved, Taylor finally has the opportunity he's been waiting for. If he can handle the workload, he could establish himself as a premier back in 2006, and should definitely be considered as a second RB.

Pennington and Jets roll past Vikings - 12/17/2006
Source: NFL.com Chad Pennington and the New York Jets bounced back from a bad game, staying in the playoff chase for at least one more week and smiling from start to finish.
The Minnesota Vikings are nearly out of the running, their shaky quarterback situation about the only bit of intrigue remaining.
Pennington completed 29 of 39 passes for a career-high 339 yards, one touchdown and one interception, leading the Jets past the Vikings 26-13 for their third straight road victory.
"This was a big game for us -- and an even bigger game as far as our mentality and our attitude after you suffer a setback like we did last week," said Pennington, referring to a 31-13 loss against Buffalo.
Brad Johnson was benched for the third time this season, but a late surge by rookie Tarvaris Jackson was too little, too late for the reeling Vikings (6-8), who have lost six of eight.
"We have too many good players to be in the position we're in," safety Darren Sharper said. "That's the most disappointing thing."
Laveranues Coles had 12 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown for the Jets (8-6). Mike Nugent kicked four field goals to stretch his streak of makes to 13, and New York improved to 5-2 on the road.
First-year coach Eric Mangini, whose club has far exceeded most expectations, was just as pleased by the overall performance and week of preparation as he was the victory.
"This is a fun time of year to play football," said Mangini, who grinned several times during his postgame news conference.
The Vikings had a chance to thrust themselves into the wide-open NFC wild-card race. Instead, it was the same old story for a team that has wiped out the old standby of stopping the run and running the ball well leading to success.
"Mathematically, we're still in it," coach Brad Childress said.
Depends on the perspective.
"Mathematically, that's a miracle," said receiver Travis Taylor, who caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Johnson barely two minutes into the game following a jarring, blind-side sack of Pennington by Napoleon Harris that caused a fumble.
| | | Taylor still trumps Pinner's big game - 12/12/2006
Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune Artose Pinner's 125-yard rushing performance in the Vikings' 30-20 victory Sunday in Detroit does not mean the fourth-year running back is about to see his role expanded. At least not once Chester Taylor returns from the bruised ribs he suffered Dec. 3 at Chicago.
"If Chester is in there and can give a full accounting of himself, I don't think you consciously take [carries] off of him," coach Brad Childress said Monday.
Taylor reiterated Monday that he will play Sunday against the New York Jets at the Metrodome; Childress was not as definite, saying he first wants to see how Taylor looks in practice Wednesday.
Pinner realizes his time as a starter will be short-lived and was happy to be back on the field after being inactive for three games. "Chester is the guy here. No doubt," said Pinner, who rushed 29 times against the Lions and had three touchdowns. "He has been doing a great job all year long. But if there comes an opportunity where Chester needs a few more breathers and they feel a lot more confident in putting me in or Ciatrick [Fason] in or any of those guys, we are ready for the opportunity."
| | | Vikings stay alive with win versus Lions - 12/10/2006
Source: NFL.com Artose Pinner enjoyed the best game of his career against the team that cut him three months ago.
But he insisted it was more gratifying to help the Minnesota Vikings stay in the playoff picture.
Pinner had career highs with 125 yards rushing and three touchdowns to lift Minnesota to a 30-20 win over the Detroit Lions.
"It was more important that it gives us a chance to stay in the playoff race," he said.
Despite losing five of their previous six games and being under .500, the Vikings (6-7) still have a shot at playing in January.
"It's kind of like NCAA tournament time and we're still in it," Minnesota safety Darren Sharper said. "If we win our next three, I believe we'll definitely be in."
The Lions (2-11), meanwhile, have lost five straight and the only consolation for the hapless franchise is it can't break the record for the most losses in a six-season span. Detroit, an NFL-worst 23-70 since 2001, would fall one setback short of the 74 losses Tampa Bay had from 1983-88 if its closes the season without a win.
Offensive tackle Jeff Backus has started every game during the miserable stretch, and the past two weeks he had to congratulate former Michigan teammates: Tom Brady in New England and Steve Hutchinson of the Vikings.
"I'm jealous of those guys," Backus said. "They've been able to have success and enjoy their careers. What fun is there in losing every week?"
One home game after Miami's Joey Harrington threw three TDs in a win against Detroit, which drafted him third overall in 2002, another former Lion had a big day at Ford Field.
Pinner, among Detroit's final cuts before the season, replaced injured Chester Taylor (ribs) and played ahead of backups expected to take a larger role.
"We had to introduce ourselves," Minnesota Brad Johnson joked.
Pinner ran for TDs on Minnesota's first two drives to double his previous career high in scoring. By the middle of the second quarter, he surpassed his previous career high of 68 yards rushing set in 2004, a year after Detroit drafted him in the fourth round.
| | | Chester Taylor listed as doubtful for Sunday - 12/07/2006
Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune Running back Chester Taylor was listed as doubtful on the Vikings' first injury report of the week Wednesday, meaning there is only a 25 percent chance he will play Sunday at Detroit.
Taylor is nursing bruised ribs he injured in the second quarter of the Vikings' loss at Chicago last Sunday. Coach Brad Childress said Taylor has shown improvement and was spending time in the pool, "to try to move around, get himself feeling comfortable."
Added Childress: "Anyone that has had a rib injury knows how those things feel, let alone moving and getting poked on it. He's treating."
Taylor still could be upgraded. Nose tackle Pat Williams was listed as doubtful on last Thursday's injury report because of a knee injury but was upgraded to questionable Friday and played against Chicago.
Ciatrick Fason would replace Taylor, who is fifth in the NFL with 1,098 yards rushing, if he can't go. Third-down back Mewelde Moore also could see his carries increase.
Taylor has extra incentive to play in this game; he is from Detroit.
| | | CTaylor, Bollinger doubtful for Vikings - 12/07/2006
Source: National Football League News Wire Minnesota Vikings running back
Chester Taylor and backup quarterback Brooks Bollinger are listed
as doubtful for Sunday's game at Detroit.
Taylor, the fifth-leading rusher in the NFL, bruised his ribs in
last week's loss to Chicago. Taylor has rushed for 1,098 yards and
also has 38 receptions for 266 yards as Minnesota's primary
offensive threat this season.
"He spent some time in the pool to try to move around, get
himself feeling comfortable," coach Brad Childress said. "Anyone
that has had a rib injury knows how those things feel, let alone
moving and getting poked on it. He's treating. He's working at it,
and he's improving as well."
Bollinger sprained his left (non-throwing) shoulder after coming
on in relief of struggling starter Brad Johnson in the third
quarter against the Bears. He guided the Vikings to their only
touchdown of the game, but was hurt when he was sacked by Adewale
Ogunleye.
There has been much speculation about Johnson's job security in
the wake of his four-interception game that got him benched, but
Bollinger's injury has made it a two-man competition between
Johnson and rookie Tarvaris Jackson.
Childress did not name a starter on Wednesday, but all but ruled
out Bollinger when the coach said he was "still trying to get his
arm above his shoulder."
Right guard Artis Hicks (ankle) is still listed as questionable
after missing last week's game. | | | Bears beat Vikings, clinch NFC North title - 12/04/2006
Source: NFL.com Now that they've clinched their second straight division title, the Chicago Bears can focus on bigger goals: a No. 1 seed and, maybe, the conference championship.
Devin Hester ran into the record book again. Ricky Manning Jr. returned an interception for a touchdown, and the Bears claimed their second straight NFC North title with a 23-13 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on a frigid Sunday afternoon.
Video highlights
Big returns and the running game kept Chicago ahead of the visiting Vikings.
"The defense had to carry the offense today," Manning said. "That's the way it is going to be sometimes. We understand that, and we are up for that challenge if that has to be done."
Hester tied an NFL record with his fourth touchdown return, and Manning ran an interception back 54 yards for the Bears (10-2), who lead the NFC by two games.
Chicago overcame another shaky performance by quarterback Rex Grossman. The Vikings couldn't overcome Brad Johnson 's, however.
With the temperature around 20 and wind chill in single digits, Grossman did little to stop the debate whether he should remain the starter. And Johnson was replaced.
With some fans calling for backup Brian Griese after a loss at New England, Grossman was 6-of-19 for 34 yards and threw three interceptions for the second straight week. But he stayed in the game.
He has 14 interceptions in the last seven games after throwing three in the first five. He was picked off twice in the first half, and his first attempt of the third quarter was intercepted.
"I never really got anything going, and that is something I need to fix," said Grossman, whose rating was 1.3 -- 0.0 after three periods. "It's a simple formula to fix. It's just hard to get done."
And he'll get another opportunity.
Coach Lovie Smith was adamant that a change is not in the works and became agitated by questions about the quarterback situation.
"There's a difference between perception and reality," Smith said. "The reality is we're 10-2 right now. We just won the division with Rex at quarterback, so that's what I go on."
Johnson wasn't any better than Grossman.
The veteran was 11-of-26 with 73 yards and four interceptions before being lifted for Brooks Bollinger late in the third quarter, and his last two passes ended in the Bears' hands.
Back from a one-game suspension for his role in a Los Angeles restaurant altercation, Manning picked off his team-leading fifth pass at the Chicago 46. He returned it for his first touchdown this year to make it 14-6 in the third quarter. On the next play from scrimmage, Brian Urlacher intercepted Johnson.
That led to a 24-yard touchdown run by Cedric Benson and a quarterback change for the Vikings. Minnesota coach Brad Childress wouldn't say if that will carry over to next week.
"I would really be remiss about making a decision about a starting quarterback a half-hour after a Sunday game," he said. "We usually make those decisions during the week."
Benson had 60 yards on nine carries against a defense that was averaging a league-low 56.6 yards. And Thomas Jones added 32 on 12 attempts for the Bears.
Chester Taylor ran for 99 yards before bruising his ribs in the third quarter and eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for Minnesota (5-7). He returned to the game, but did not carry the ball again.
| | | Vikings' success turns on turnovers - 11/28/2006
Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune The simple explanation has riled critics and amateur analysts, all of whom wanted deeper answers. Whenever he has been asked about his team's struggles this season, Vikings coach Brad Childress consistently has pointed to two factors: turnovers and penalties.
What about playcalling? How about personnel deficiencies? Those issues aside, the Vikings have demonstrated this season that turnovers -- and the accompanying takeaways -- are indeed the single-biggest factor in their performance.
In their first 11 games under Childress, the Vikings have averaged one turnover per game in their five victories and nearly three in their six losses. They haven't lost when they finished with a positive turnover ratio and haven't won when they fell into a negative ratio; overall, they have a plus-8 mark in their victories and a minus-9 ratio in their defeats.
Penalty totals have been more difficult to document, as the Vikings have averaged 7.2 penalties in their victories and 7.5 penalties in their losses. But the turnover trend was never more evident Sunday, when the Vikings rode a 5-1 advantage in the takeaway/giveaway ratio to a 31-26 defeat of Arizona.
"Turnovers affect wins and losses and that's all I've ever coached," Childress said. "Since I've coached quarterbacks, [it's been about] taking care of the football. When you're the offensive coordinator, that's all you talk about, respect for the football. Value it, fight for it. Now that you're doing both, obviously takeaways end up being a part [of what you preach].
"Turnover margins end up being huge. It just swings the momentum, whether you score or you don't score, it changes all the field position. If you take care of it, you've got a chance to win."
Conservatively, the Vikings can link two of their losses directly to turnovers. They were leading Chicago 16-12 with three minutes, 25 seconds to play Sept. 24 when quarterback Brad Johnson and running back Chester Taylor fumbled a handoff at the Vikings' 37-yard line. Five plays later, Bears quarterback Rex Grossman threw a game-winning 24-yard touchdown pass to receiver Rashied Davis.
| | | Vikings hang on to deck Cards 31-26 - 11/27/2006
Source: NFL.com Arizona coach Dennis Green expected to see a bumbling, mistake-prone Vikings offense upon his return to Minnesota.
Instead, the unit welcomed Green back with the kind of prolific performance that fans took for granted when he was the coach here, finally giving the Vikings defense the help it has so desperately needed.
Brad Johnson threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns, Chester Taylor rushed for 136 yards and a score and Minnesota snapped a four-game losing streak with a 31-26 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
The win was as long overdue as the touchdowns.
"It's been a month. Really, it's been a long time," Vikings coach Brad Childress said. "Those guys are elated to get it."
The defense delivered its usual solid performance, forcing five turnovers and allowing just 17 yards rushing.
"The defense did a great job again," Taylor said. "We knew we had to start getting points for them. ... They created turnovers and this time we capitalized with touchdowns and points off them."
The Cardinals (2-9) got a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by J.J. Arrington on the opening play of the game and a 99-yard fumble return for a score by Adrian Wilson in the fourth, but couldn't overcome the turnovers, penalties and a suddenly productive Vikings (5-6) offense.
"This is the first time we've played pretty well on the road and had a chance to win at the end," rookie quarterback Matt Leinart said. "I thought we showed a lot of fight as an offense and as a defense, and special teams contributed. All around I thought it was a great effort, we just ran out of time."
Leinart threw for a career-high 405 yards and two interceptions, but managed only one TD -- a 9-yard pass to Anquan Boldin with 39 seconds to play -- that came too little, too late.
The Vikings sure know how that feels.
Minnesota had scored just four offensive touchdowns during the four-game losing streak, and some of the defensive players were growing increasingly impatient with a unit that constantly came up short in the red zone.
Johnson was drawing much of the criticism, having thrown nine interceptions and just one touchdown during that span.
But he came back on Sunday against his former coach, throwing TDs to Marcus Robinson, Billy McMullen and Jeff Dugan, a tight end who was converted to fullback when Tony Richardson was lost for the season.
"Two weeks ago, Jeff Dugan was holding the clipboard and this week he's scoring a touchdown," center Matt Birk said. "That's what we need."
The Cardinals made things interesting after Leinart hit Boldin for the late score. Darryl Blackstock recovered the ensuing onside kick, but Leinart's desperation heave into the end zone as time expired was intercepted by Dwight Smith to seal the win.
All Green could do was stare blankly at the field as he watched his young team give away another game. Green last coached a regular season game in the Metrodome on Dec. 23, 2001, a 33-3 loss by the Vikings to Jacksonville that was the beginning of the end of a stormy 10 years in purple. | | | Season wavers toward point of no return - 11/20/2006
Source: St. Paul Pioneer Press Sunday's loss nicely sets up next week's showdown between the dead Arizona Cardinals and your almost-dead Minnesota Vikings.
Are you getting chills yet?
Here is the quintessential example of Vikings football, which occurred late in the second quarter: Trailing 10-7, coach Brad Childress chose to go for it on fourth and 1 from his own 29. Brad Johnson kept it on a sneak and made the necessary yardage. Yippee! So what does Childress do next?
Handoff to Chester Taylor. Handoff to Chester Taylor. Penalty. A too-short dump pass. Punt.
Why bother to go for it on fourth down if you're going to follow up with that? I'm telling you, I'm going blind watching this stuff week after week. Soccer is starting to look mighty good to me.
"It's tough," linebacker Ben Leber said. "We just knew that to right the ship, we had to get a win today."
Glub, glub.
But don't worry. Everything is right on schedule for 2007.
The Vikings now are 0-3 in their four-game stretch against league weaklings, otherwise known as Patsies on Parade. On Sunday, Joey Harrington started fast but began to turn into a pumpkin right before our eyes. By midway through the second half, he was the same stumbling, bumbling Joey who accumulated a 0-6 record against the Vikings while with the Detroit Lions.
Yet Minnesota could not put the game away. Taylor, who is beginning to look like 213 pounds of ground round because of overuse, fumbled twice. The Dolphins returned one 51 yards for a touchdown. But it's tough to fault him. He'd already carried 26 times, and taken 26 poundings, when he coughed that one up.
"That had nothing to do with it," Taylor snapped. "I just fumbled. That's it."
Whatever you say, Chester. But somebody has to worry about your health. One of these games you'll end up going home in a doggie bag.
Meanwhile, the myth of the impenetrable Vikings defense' gradually is being debunked. Minnesota has a great defense against the run. Period. Those same sterling defensive linemen and linebackers could get no pressure on Harrington. That allowed a thoroughly mediocre quarterback to pick apart the secondary on a couple of occasions.
The Dolphins also were smart enough to come out in a spread offense and go with no huddle. The Vikings stared as if they had just seen a spaceship land. Miami drove all the way to the goal line before fumbling away its opening possession. Another quick adjustment by the Minnesota coaching staff.
The bottom line is that nothing is going to change for the rest of this season. Maybe two handoffs and a dump pass will be enough to defeat the Cardinals or some other comatose team. But the Vikings are one loss from officially evaluating players for 2007.
Bad personnel decisions were made during the summer and into the season. That's going to happen when you give a first-year head coach the final say on everything. There's no strong figure in the front office who really is in charge. As a result, the Vikings are too weak at too many positions to be contenders. And the coaches are slow to make in-game adjustments, allowing those weaknesses to be exploited.
"We're 4-6 right now," tight end Jermaine Wiggins said. "You know what? Ten and 6 is good enough to get you into the playoffs."
Pardon me if I don't wager the kids' college funds.
| | | Defense strikes twice, Miami wins again - 11/19/2006
Source: NFL.com Jason Taylor zigzagged through the open field, waved the ball in his left hand and leaped across the goal line to finish with a flourish.
Looking more like breakaway runners than defensive players, Taylor and cornerback Renaldo Hill were the best ball carriers the Miami Dolphins had Sunday.
Taylor and Hill returned turnovers for touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and Miami overcame another sputtering offensive performance to beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-20.
The Vikings, ranked first in the NFL in run defense, lost despite setting a team record by limiting the Dolphins to minus-3 yards rushing in 14 carries. Running back Ronnie Brown netted 2 yards in 12 attempts.
The last time a team won with such a poor rushing total was on Oct. 29, 1961, when Philadelphia beat Washington 27-24 with minus 12 yards.
"They shut down one half of our offense," quarterback Joey Harrington said. "We threw well enough to win. And yeah, we got some help from J.T. and Renaldo."
Hill returned a fumble 48 yards for Miami's go-ahead score, and Taylor scored on a 51-yard interception return with 3:25 left to tie George Martin's NFL record for linemen with his seventh career touchdown.
The Dolphins (4-6), who had the league's worst record less than a month ago, won their third consecutive game.
"When we were sitting there at 1-6, nobody gave us a chance to win another game," Harrington said.
The Vikings (4-6) lost their fourth game in a row, committing three turnovers in the final period. | | | Vikings' Richardson could be done for year - 11/16/2006
Source: National Football League News Wire Struggling on offense, the Minnesota
Vikings have likely lost their fullback, Tony Richardson, for the
rest of the season.
Richardson played with a broken thumb in Sunday's game against
Green Bay and then suffered a fracture in his forearm. The latest
injury will probably keep Richardson out for six weeks, and there
are only seven games left. That means there is a strong chance that
Richardson will be placed on injured reserve this week, coach Brad
Childress said Wednesday.
A popular veteran who signed with Minnesota as a free agent this
year after playing 11 seasons with Kansas City, Richardson has been
an important part of the game plans because of his ability to
block, catch the ball out of the backfield and even run in certain
short-yardage situations.
Reserve tight end Jeff Dugan will see some time in his place,
and tight end Jim Kleinsasser is also a possibility. The Vikings
(4-5) were scanning the waiver wire for potential replacements,
too, but this is clearly a big loss at a critical time for a team
that has lost three straight games.
Chester Taylor, who is fourth in the NFC with 783 yards rushing,
will miss his lead blocker -- who has also been a valuable mentor.
"He's a leader," Taylor said, "but we've just got to move on.
The next person's got to step up. That's the whole thing about the
NFL."
Childress filled the injury report with a total of 12 players,
six of whom are listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Miami.
Receiver Marcus Robinson (lower back) and linebacker Napoleon
Harris (wrist), who have missed three and two consecutive games,
respectively, are expected back this week. But the coach indicated
if they don't respond well to contact in practice that they might
not be ready to play yet. | | | Richardson is likely out for season - 11/16/2006
Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune The Vikings were considering their options at fullback Wednesday after learning that starter Tony Richardson almost certainly will miss the remainder of the season because of a broken right arm.
Third-year veteran Jeff Dugan took most of the repetitions during practice, but Dugan is a converted tight end who never has played fullback in an NFL game. The Vikings also were listing tight end Richard Owens as a fullback and were scanning the available free agents.
Richardson probably will be placed on injured reserve later this week, coach Brad Childress said, after doctors determined he would need at least six weeks to recover from the fracture. Richardson, who already was playing with a broken right thumb, suffered the latest injury in the first half of Sunday's 23-17 loss to Green Bay.
Mulling ... nothing?
Childress said he is "still mulling" a possible personnel shift along the offensive line. But as of Wednesday, it appeared no changes had been made. Right guard Artis Hicks, for one, said none was likely.
"From what I understand," Hicks said, "I expect the same five. I don't expect anything different."
The most obvious possibility would be replacing right tackle Marcus Johnson with Mike Rosenthal; another is replacing Hicks with either Jason Whittle or Anthony Herrera. But there was no immediate indication that any of those changes have been made.
Practice is closed to local reporters, but Rosenthal was in his normal spot on kickoff returns during special teams workouts.
"My strong preference is that obviously those five get better, and they will continue to get better," Childress said. "But I want to see where those other guys are at in terms of practice and could they factor in as well."
| | | Confidence boost, then bust - 11/13/2006
Source: St. Paul Pioneer Press Brad Childress called a play Sunday that was either gutsy or nutsy.
The Vikings had fourth and 1 from their own 37-yard line in the first quarter. Childress went for it.
And got the first down.
It was gutsy.
Of course, if the Vikings had failed, we'd be calling it nutsy.
Childress has been ripped the past few weeks for calling plays that were too predictable. Nobody could have predicted that on fourth and 1 from his own 37, trailing 10-0, he would go for it.
Had the Vikings messed up, as they did plenty of other times in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers, their fans would have clogged the concourse trying to beat a hasty exit from the Metrodome.
But by making it, that fourth-and-1 call was the jolt of confidence the Vikings' beleaguered offense needed. By having them go for it, Childress was massaging the offense's collectively fragile ego and telling his players, "I know you can make a yard."
It was the start of something.
After Chester Taylor's 2-yard run kept the drive percolating, Brad Johnson began to scald the Packers. He completed eight straight passes and led the Vikings to touchdowns on back-to-back drives.
"That's a momentum swing for our side. That was a big boost for us," Taylor said. "Our coach had the confidence in us that we could get it, and we got it."
And then …
Childress inserted a pin in the party balloon.
With 48 seconds left in the half, the ball on his own 20, trailing 17-14, Childress chose to batten down the offense.
Other teams, other coaches, would have come out throwing and trying to work their way down the field in the hope of at least maneuvering into range for a field goal. It's a lot of time, 48 seconds, particularly when you have all three of your timeouts, as the Vikings did.
And when you have a quarterback who already has completed passes of 40, 40 and 35 yards against the Packers' defense.
(The Packers, by the way, had just gone 97 yards in three plays and 50 seconds to take that 17-14 lead.)
But Childress, he went on the defensive instead of the offensive. He was more concerned about giving the ball back to the Packers.
He ran Mewelde Moore twice for a net gain of zero yards. The Packers burned a timeout after each run. On third and 10, Moore ran for 15 yards. And then, with 26 seconds left, Childress used one of his three timeouts. By then, too much time had drained from the clock. The half ended with a sack of Johnson.
| | | Ravens' McNair beats former team, 27-26 - 11/12/2006
Source: NFL.com This is exactly why the Baltimore Ravens wanted Steve McNair.
The veteran threw his third touchdown of the game against his former team with 3:35 left, helping the Ravens rally from a big deficit to beat the Tennessee Titans 27-26 for their best start.
The Ravens are 7-2 for the first time after trailing by 19 points -- the biggest comeback in team history. And McNair had a lot to do with it.
"His demeanor, it just never ceased to amaze me," coach Brian Billick said. "The calm this man has. At no point have I ever seen him blink there, and there was a few times to blink out there."
This game had enough to keep it interesting as McNair's homecoming to play the team that traded him to the Ravens in June because Baltimore offered more than Tennessee was willing to pay.
Then the teams combined for a handful of penalties and just downright weird plays for added measure. Billick even picked up an unsportsmanlike penalty for yelling at an official.
But McNair gave the Titans an expensive lesson.
"That's why you play this game," McNair said. "You're a competitor. Those are the things you go back and look at and say, 'Hey, this is what we get paid for: to come back and win games.'"
The Titans (2-7) had a last chance to send McNair back to Maryland a loser. But Trevor Pryce blocked a 43-yard field-goal attempt by Rob Bironas with 33 seconds left, allowing McNair to celebrate on the field where he had won so many games before.
"The fact that we came out of here with a win is pretty amazing to me, quite honestly," Pryce said.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher could only congratulate his former quarterback. | | | Taylor is sore, but plans to play - 11/09/2006
Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune Chester Taylor was listed as questionable on the Vikings injury report Wednesday and the running back did limited work in practice because of what coach Brad Childress termed "overall body soreness."
Officially, Taylor's injury was reported as a calf problem. Mewelde Moore and Artose Pinner got the majority of the reps. "It's not a freshen up," Childress said, explaining his decision to hold back Taylor. "He's having trouble moving around. ... We need to keep our eye on him."
Taylor, though, said there was no doubt he would play Sunday against Green Bay. "Coach is making a wise decision just to keep resting me so I can be fresh [and] play on Sunday," he said.
Signed as a free agent during the offseason after four years as a backup in Baltimore, Taylor has been a workhorse for the Vikings this season. He is third in the NFL in combined rushing attempts and receptions with 205 touches (173 rushes and 32 catches). That trails Kansas City running back Larry Johnson (226 total) and San Diego running back LaDanian Tomlinson (206).
Taylor, who touched the ball a season-high 34 times Sunday at San Francisco, downplayed the fact he might have been hurting more than usual coming out of the game. "Playing running back, you're going to get banged up every week," Taylor said. "It isn't just one game, it's the whole season. [Childress is] just trying to keep me healthy because we've got eight more weeks, including the playoffs."
Wednesday's decision to limit Taylor could be the first sign of a pattern for the second half of the season. The media isn't allowed to watch the majority of practice, but Taylor's touches were believed to only have been limited once earlier this season. That was before the Week 4 game at Buffalo. Taylor has tried to stay fresh by spending time in the cold tub, getting massages and doing some work with weights.
| | | RB Taylor held out of Vikings practice with 'body soreness' - 11/09/2006
Source: National Football League News Wire The Minnesota Vikings are starting to
take precautions with workhorse running back Chester Taylor.
Taylor rested for much of Wednesday's practice due to "overall
body soreness," coach Brad Childress said, but the NFL's
fourth-leading rusher said he will play Sunday against Green Bay.
Taylor signed with the Vikings in the offseason after spending
four years as Jamal Lewis' backup in Baltimore. In his first season
as the starter, Taylor has become the focal point of the Vikings
offense, touching the ball 205 times in the first eight games.
Taylor has rushed for 708 yards on 173 carries and caught
another 32 passes for 209 yards.
"I feel like, so I can be able to play on Sunday, they want to
rest me during the week," Taylor said. "I don't have a problem
with it. I just have to stay mentally focused."
Receiver Marcus Robinson (back), linebacker Napoleon Harris
(wrist), defensive end Darrion Scott (ankle), fullback Tony
Richardson (thumb), center Matt Birk (neck), safety Will Hunter
(back), defensive tackle Pat Williams (knee) and defensive tackle
Kevin Williams (ankle) all missed at least a portion of practice
with injuries.
| | | 49ers outlast Vikings 9-3 in sloppy game - 11/06/2006
Source: NFL.com At the two-minute warning, coach Mike Nolan gathered the San Francisco 49ers ' defensive players and let them have it.
"It's up to you right now to win this game," Nolan said. "It's on you right now. I'm not calling any timeouts, not saving any time. Guys, it'll go down to the very last play. It's on you."
To the surprise of everybody who wasn't wearing the 49ers' throwback uniforms, a much-maligned defense proved capable of lifting that burden.
Joe Nedney kicked his third field goal with 7:15 to play, and San Francisco shut out the Minnesota Vikings in the final three quarters of a 9-3 victory.
Thanks to Nedney's strong leg -- and his lobbying efforts, which helped San Francisco to get a second shot at its final field goal -- the 49ers (3-5) had just enough offense to back a shocking performance by their defense, which had allowed 150 points in its last four games.
San Francisco managed just 133 total yards with its own miserable offense, but got cohesive play from the same unit that gave up 41 points by halftime last week at Chicago. The Niners simplified their game plan and hung on, stopping Minnesota's final drive with 1:04 left.
"Statistics are important, but they don't say everything about you," linebacker Brandon Moore said. "Nobody is going to come out of the stands and help us win a game. It's going to have to come from us." | | | Vikings offense, apparently on track, has high hopes - 10/24/2006
Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune You have to start somewhere. The Vikings took what should be considered a significant step Sunday in their 31-13 victory over Seattle, nearly doubling their season's total for offensive touchdowns. So was it the final hurdle or just another leap in the climb?
Players and coaches debated that topic Monday at Winter Park, where they regrouped following their most productive game of the season. After scoring four touchdowns on offense through their first five games, the Vikings managed three against the Seahawks. Although his team still ranks 30th among NFL teams with seven offensive touchdowns, receiver Travis Taylor said the Vikings will be nearly unbeatable if the offense can consistently replicate that production.
"If our defense keeps doing what it's doing," Taylor said, "and our offense keeps putting up 14, 21 points in a game, we're going to be hard to beat. We'll be almost unstoppable. I think it's the only phase of our game that's been lacking. It takes time to get into a system and get used to everybody. We finally capitalized on the plays we had available to us."
Entering Sunday's game, the Vikings were scoring touchdowns on about 7.5 percent of their possessions. They were punting about 50 percent of the time, had attempted field goals at a 27 percent rate and had committed turnovers on 13 percent of their possessions.
Against the Seahawks, the Vikings' offensive touchdown percentage was 23 percent.
Coach Brad Childress has long been harping on the need to turn some of those field goals into touchdowns, but he supplied a "duh" analysis to the uptick Monday. Speaking in a deadpan voice during his afternoon news conference, Childress said: "The significance of an offense scoring more touchdowns? It ends up being big."
| | | Vikings surge late in Seattle, win 31-13 - 10/22/2006
Source: NFL.com For years, teams facing the Seahawks at home have tried silent snap counts, blaring music during practices and other tricks to combat Seattle's notoriously raucous crowd noise.
Minnesota Vikings linebacker E.J. Henderson figured out a way to take the crowd and the Seahawks out of it on the same play.
Brad Johnson and the Vikings offense came alive to walk away with a win over the Seahawks in Seattle.
Henderson rolled into Matt Hasselbeck 's right leg early in the second half of a tie game, sending the Pro Bowl quarterback to the locker room for the remainder of the game with a sprained knee.
Then the Vikings' Chester Taylor romped for most of his career-high 169 yards on a pivotal, 95-yard run -- the longest in Minnesota history -- as the Vikings stunned the battered Seahawks 31-13 to end Seattle's team-record 12-game home winning streak.
Qwest Field was so quiet, you could hear another Seahawks star fall.
"I think they were a little shocked a little rattled without their leader out there," Henderson said after his knockout, which did not appear to be intentional. He also had a team-high nine tackles and intercepted backup Seneca Wallace.
Already without his league MVP Shaun Alexander, Seattle coach Mike Holmgren announced Hasselbeck will have an MRI on Oct. 23 to determine the extent of his injury. When pressed on how injured the most important player of his intricate offense is, coach Holmgren turned terse.
"I'm not going to say anything about what it is. He's getting pictures taken tomorrow," Holmgren said.
So ended an NFL afternoon in which both Super Bowl quarterbacks from last season went out with injuries and did not return: Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger was knocked out with a scary blow to the head in an overtime loss to the Falcons. | | | Taylor the tenacious - 10/09/2006
Source: TwinCities.com Taylor ran the ball 26 times Sunday into holes both big and small. He finished with a season-high 123 yards in the Vikings' 26-17 victory over the winless Detroit Lions.
"When I see a hole," Taylor said, "I try to hit it as quick as I can before it closes, and it works out for the best for me."
It worked out Sunday, particularly in the fourth quarter when Taylor ran eight times for 32 yards.
"To me, that's a true running back,'' said fullback Tony Richardson, who was signed in the offseason to block for Taylor. "A running back is a guy that, when you know you have to get tough yards, you can give him the ball and time after time he can get those tough yards for you. To me, that's the running back I want in the backfield. The guy that, when he has to bite down on his lip and go in there and come out with positive yards, that's the guy I want behind me." | | | Vikings extend their run of luck - 10/09/2006
Source: TwinCities.com The Vikings are a lucky bunch.
They're lucky Clinton Portis didn't play against them in the first game of the season.
And lucky Carolina's best offensive player (Steve Smith) and best defensive player (Dan Morgan) didn't play in the second game.
They're really lucky they played the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
I haven't seen a team as inept as the Lions since, well, last week, when the Vikings lost to Buffalo.
The Lions lost 26-17 to the Vikings. They're 0-5, and with good reason.
They reek on offense. They stink on defense.
The Lions stink so bad on defense, they allowed the Vikings' offense to look respectable. But only in the second half.
Chester Taylor, who rushed for a season-high 123 yards, claimed his offensive line did such a fine job pounding the Lions that he lost sight of defensive tackle Shaun Rogers.
"A few plays, I didn't see him no more," Taylor said. "I don't know if he was hurt or not."
Rogers was hurt — by the play of the Vikings' line.
Meantime, Taylor has become the Vikings' best offensive player, pretty much by default.
Brad Johnson has had a difficult time moving the Vikings this season, but it would be wrong to slap the blame for the offense's troubles on him. Penalties have been crushing to drives, as well as dropped passes and receivers who can't seem to get open.
"I wouldn't say it's the wide receiver group or the offensive line or the quarterback," coach Brad Childress said. "It's different people at different times." | | | The Vikings' offense has been cause for alarm in the first four games, but the winless Detroit Lions could be just what Brad Childress and Co. need. - 10/08/2006
Source: TwinCities.com Vikings right guard Artis Hicks can visualize the end-zone antics: Chester Taylor or Troy Williamson breaks the plane and sets off a sequence of smiles and high-fives.
"I want to get down in the end zone and celebrate," Hicks said.
But that image has been a mere fantasy to Hicks and the Vikings' offense this season. Among teams that have played four games, the Vikings have scored an NFL-low three offensive touchdowns.
"It's still early," Hicks said. "It's minor tweaks we need to continue to work out. We know what we can do when we put it all together.
"Nobody is panicking."
But the Vikings might need to sound the alarms if they cannot snap out of their funk today at the Metrodome. If the Vikings fancy themselves a playoff team, there can be no excuses against the winless Detroit Lions, who have given up nearly 29 points a game (tied for 28th in the NFL) and have a defense ranked 26th overall.
The Vikings are diplomatic in talking about the Lions, the weakest defense they have faced this season. They highlight the speed of Detroit's defense and the talent of Shaun Rogers, one of the NFL's elite defensive tackles. The Vikings long to head into their bye week at 3-2. But the team also hopes the offense can generate some much-needed momentum. | | | Lions may cure what ails Vikings - 10/05/2006
Source: Star Tribune As one of only four NFL teams not to score 20 points in a game this season, now is probably a darn good time for the Vikings to play host to the Detroit Lions.
Sunday. Monday. Whenever they can make it.
The Lions gave up 41 last week, at least 31 in each of the past three weeks, and have a history of giving up a lot of points -- and losing -- to the Vikings.
In 16 meetings going back to 1997, the Vikings have scored at least 21 points every time. They're 14-2 in those games, including 8-0 under Mike Tice from 2002-05.
"I think this will be a good game for the Vikings," said Vikings backup running back Artose Pinner, a former Lion. "It should be. Let's hope it's a good one for us." | | | Vikings running, but not far - 10/04/2006
Source: Star Tribune The Vikings' first play from scrimmage Sunday provided a fitting snapshot of the team's run game. Highly paid running back Chester Taylor took a handoff from Brad Johnson, headed up the middle and ... was met by two Buffalo Bills. One play, minus-2 yards.
Things wouldn't get much better.
Taylor finished with 23 yards on 10 carries as the Vikings gained 63 yards on 16 attempts for a 3.9-yard average -- all season lows -- in the 17-12 loss. That left the Vikings' run game ranked 22nd in the NFL through four games with an average of 3.6 yards per touch.
Those statistics wouldn't have been a surprise in the pass-happy days of yesteryear, but with the commitment the Brad Childress-led franchise has made to the run game, there is no ignoring the numbers -- especially when the financial figures being paid to ensure success on the ground are considered. | | | Leber has practiced, may be ready to play - 09/30/2006
Source: Pioneer Press Vikings linebacker Ben Leber backed up his optimism by practicing in full pads for the first time this week.
This week, Leber has aggressively rested and treated his left knee, which he sprained in the first quarter Sunday against the Chicago Bears. But Leber finished the game, and he has only one more hurdle to clear before Sunday's game in Buffalo.
"This is the first real strenuous thing I've done on it for the last few days," Leber said. "It will be interesting to see how it responds."
Leber said he was satisfied with the stability of his knee, and he hopes it only improves before game time. He is listed as questionable, which means there is a 50-50 chance he will play.
"I don't think it's going to be right down to the wire," he said. "The way it felt today, if the game had to be played today, I think I could do it."
If he can't play, backup middle linebacker Dontarrious Thomas probably would replace him, with veteran Jason Glenn also playing in certain situations.
In other injury news, defensive tackle Pat Williams (ankle) was upgraded to probable, and running back Chester Taylor (ankle) also remains probable, which is defined as a "virtual certainty" that the player can play. Rookie quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was downgraded to out after undergoing a scope on his right knee Monday.
For the Buffalo Bills, Pro Bowl linebacker Takeo Spikes missed a portion of practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game. He has been inactive the past two games because of a hamstring injury. | | | Taylor and McGahee should be busy again - 09/29/2006
Source: Star Tribune An old-time exhibit of NFL running games will be on display Sunday, when the Vikings' Chester Taylor and Buffalo's Willis McGahee square off at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Taylor leads the NFL with 75 carries, while McGahee is tied for third with 71 (for a league-leading 311 yards). Both teams have proven backups, but for now it appears their coaching staffs prefer to grind it out with their starters rather than mix and match.
| | | Offense leaves Vikings little room for error - 09/25/2006
Source: TwinCities.com This Vikings' offense is very deceiving. At the end of the day, quarterback Brad Johnson has completed a high percentage of his passes. Running back Chester Taylor has put up solid numbers.
Yet the ball seldom winds up in the end zone.
A brilliant defensive effort went to waste Sunday. Clearly the Vikings still are adjusting to their adaptation of the West Coast offense. But their version appears to be from the West Coast of Yemen. Or from some other non-football playing country.
"I felt like we moved the ball great against Chicago today," Johnson said.
Baloney. The only thing that counts is moving the ball into the end zone. Minnesota's Dink 'Em Dizzy accounted for three field goals. Its defense scored the only touchdown. | | | Disaster for Vikings came disguised as safe call - 09/25/2006
Source: Star Tribune The play call seemed as safe as it gets.
With the Vikings leading the Chicago Bears by four points in the fourth quarter Sunday and facing third-and-8 from their own 43-yard line, coach Brad Childress sent in a simple trap play. Running back Chester Taylor would carry the ball and, worst case, punter Chris Kluwe then would come in and try to pin the Bears' struggling offense deep in its own end with only one timeout left.
At least that seemed like the potential worst case. It wasn't even close.
Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris burst through the Vikings line and stripped Taylor of the ball, enabling defensive end Adewale Ogunleye to recover it at the Vikings 37. Five plays, or exactly 1 minute, 32 seconds later, the Bears scored the winning touchdown for a 19-16 victory.
"Turnovers are always the key, and [if] you don't take care of the football, they usually come back to bite you," Vikings coach Brad Childress said during his postgame show on KFAN Radio. | | | Call Vikings' line a real road block - 09/22/2006
Source: Daily Southtown There's likely little doubt where Minnesota's Chester Taylor will run when he carries on crucial downs against the Bears during Sunday's game at the Metrodome.
He'll follow the money.
Taylor will run behind about $128.5 million worth of blocking in left guard Steve Hutchinson, left tackle Bryant McKinnie and center Matt Birk.
"Hutchinson and McKinney, they're some big boys," Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher said. "We just have to try to get in our gaps and try to get some penetration like we've done with everyone else."
The Vikings offense, under first-year head coach Brad Childress, is a conservative, smash-mouth attack utilizing offensive line muscle and solid blocking tight ends and backs.
"They have a terrific offensive line they have put together the last year," Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera said. "I like what they do on offense. I don't want to say it's conservative, but what it is is they are very good at what they do. | | | Childress has Vikings on the run - 09/22/2006
Source: Philadelphia Daily News Through the first 2 weeks of the season, Childress' 2-0 Vikings have racked up the fifth most rushing attempts (67) in the league. They are among just 11 teams that have run the ball more than they have thrown it. The fact that the Vikes are averaging only 3.4 yards per carry hasn't deterred the first-year head coach from staying committed to it.
Childress' running back, Chester Taylor, leads the league in rushing attempts with 55, which is only 105 fewer than his career-high, which at this pace he will hit in Week 6. Taylor had been Jamal Lewis' understudy in Baltimore before signing with the Vikings last March. | | | Taylor bears the load - 09/15/2006
Source: TwinCities.com The Vikings' coaches told Chester Taylor they were going to run the ball Monday night at Washington, and they were true to their word.
The game plan didn't call for 31 carries, but after four seasons as Jamal Lewis' backup in Baltimore, Taylor isn't about to complain about being overworked.
"I've been waiting to be the main guy, basically, and just coming out here and helping my team any way I can to win a ballgame," he said. "It pays to be patient, and that's what I was."
Taylor saved his best for last in the 19-16 victory over the Redskins, gaining 34 of his 88 yards in the fourth quarter, including 26 on the drive that set up Ryan Longwell's game-winning, 31-yard field goal with one minute remaining.
Taylor's 2.8-yard average was subpar by NFL standards, and the running game still is a work in progress, but the effort was appreciated by his teammates. | | | Victory on road is good start to season - 09/12/2006
Source: Star Tribune It was a great return to Washington for Brad Johnson and the Vikings as they started the NFL season beating the Redskins 19-16 Monday night in one of the toughest stadiums in the league to win.
Yes, Johnson, the former Redskins quarterback, completed 16 of 30 passes for 223 yards and Chester Taylor rushed for 56 yards in the second half as the Vikings stayed with a running game that had little success in the first half, when they gained only 34 yards on the ground. | | | Receivers say they will do what it takes for Vikings to win - 09/06/2006

Willie Ponder, recently jettisoned by the New York Giants, is pursued before electing to sign with Seattle. Quincy Morgan is brought in for a workout on Tuesday and could be signed in the coming few days, according to his agent.
All send clear indications that less than a week before the season opener at Washington, the Vikings brass is looking to upgrade at receiver
Fantasy Impact: The Vikings are working to give Brad Johnson options to throw to. While the receiver position is still lacking, this means a fantasy upgrade for tight end Jermaine Wiggins and RB Chester Taylor.
