I hate to be a wet blanket here, but I watched the game on Friday night and re-watched the first drive earlier today. I saw the O-line crushing those guys, but they were playing against mostly #2's on the Vikes D-line. Jared Allen and Kevin Williams weren't playing and those guys are clearly difference makers.
I don't think they were throwing their full compliment of LB's in there either.

Why do I have a feeling that Tolzien vs. Kaep will erupt this season?

I do not believe that Randy has lost considerable speed. He ran really good 40 times less than 6 months ago. We have heard about him getting behind the D all camp. Until I see it myself in a real game I am not buying any of it.

Would rather bump this fine thread than the gameday thread...

Fangio confirmed the 52-yard pass that Minnesota quarterback Christian Ponder hit to receiver Stephen Burton was a blown coverage. Cornerback Carlos Rogers was expecting safety help in the middle of the field from Dashon Goldson. "We didn't play the coverage correctly," Fangio said. "We needed to have another person deep and we weren't there. It was a busted coverage."

That's what I figured. Carlos was talking with Goldson right after the play.

...and that's why I qualified the initial statement.
Still....150 yards rushing on 2 drives is pretty impressive no matter who the Vikings had out there.

OK.
The point is to make an observation based on what I've seen. Feel free to ignore it altogether.
I would love it if he had the speed back, but he looked VERY slow on Sunday.
It is possible he just wasn't going all out. I hope that's the case.

Yeah, we won't truly know for a while, IMO.
Changing the speed of your routes is a veteran receiver trick. Running slow lazy routes is also something Moss has a reputation for when he knows he isn't a top read on the play.
We just have to wait and see. I don't think we'll learn much from preseason.

Trust me, if Marvin is saying Moss looked slow it's as objective a statement as anyone on here would make.
And he has the right intentions with his wishes.

It's kinda funny to me that peeps get bent outta shape when I'm saying he looked slow but I've yet to see a single person who was at Fanfest refute what I said.
No worries...I still hope I'm wrong.

I don't usually put too much weight in the preseason wins. I did like the cohesiveness of the OL and the sharpness in general of the players in the offense. Positive signs, that's all they are.

Yeah I'm not discounting that what you saw was accurate. I just want to see it for myself because it doesn't match up with most other things I have heard. Though we have heard that he looked slow from a couple different first-hand sources now.
