PRESEASON GAME 2, AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS -- Page 4

CHILDRESS TAKES THE HELM – The future of Minnesota Vikings football started on January 6, 2006, when Brad Childress was named the seventh head coach in franchise history. He joined the Vikings following a 7-year stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, including the past 4 as offensive coordinator. During his tenure in Philadelphia, the Eagles represented the NFC in Super Bowl XXXIX, amassed a 70-42 (.625) record in the regular season, won 4 straight NFC East titles from 2001-04, and advanced to the playoffs from 2000-04. During Childress’ time as offensive coordinator (2002-05), the Eagles posted a 43-21 record in the regular season, the most wins in the NFC over that span. The Eagles’ offense under Childress was able to excel while adjusting to personnel transition and injuries. The team ranked in the NFL’s top 10 in total offense twice in the past four seasons and assembled numerous individual achievements. In the four seasons that Childress guided the offense, the team amassed 5,000+ yards each season, averaging 333.8 yards per game in that span. The 2003 Eagles led the NFC and set a team record with only 22 turnovers. The Eagles’ offense since 2000 has featured seven players who have earned 14 berths in the Pro Bowl, highlighted by QB Donovan McNabb, who has been honored with 5 berths in the game. Throughout his coaching career, Childress has built winners, taking losing programs at Illinois and Wisconsin and turning them into Big Ten champions and Rose Bowl teams. Before joining Philadelphia in 1999, the 1998 squad went 3-13. In two seasons the Eagles were in the playoffs and in three seasons were winning the first of four straight NFC East titles.

COORDINATING THEIR EFFORTS – When Brad Childress began building his Vikings’ coaching staff, he wanted coaches who were good teachers and hard workers, qualities that he found in offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin, and special teams coordinator Paul Ferraro. Bevell spent the past 6 seasons coaching on the Green Bay Packers’ staff, including the last 3 as quarterbacks coach. During his tenure with the Packers, the team went 57-39 in regular-season play and won 3 straight NFC North titles from 2002-04. In the past 3 seasons, QB Brett Favre led the NFL with 1,026 completions, ranked 2nd with 82 TD passes, and 4th with 11,330 yards. From 2002-04, the Packers had a 41-game streak with a TD pass, all thrown by Favre, that ranks as the 2nd-longest streak in NFL history, trailing the 49-game streak held by Johnny Unitas’ Baltimore Colts from 1956-60. Tomlin coached the defensive backs for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the past 5 seasons and was a part of one of the top defenses in the NFL. During his time in Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers’ defense led the league twice in overall defense and was ranked in the top 6 in the NFL in total defense each of his 5 seasons with the Bucs. Over the past 5 seasons (2001-05), Tampa Bay’s defense posted more interceptions (112) than any other team in the league. Tomlin’s defensive backs earned numerous honors for their play during his tenure. Perennial Pro Bowl CB Ronde Barber earned 3 trips to the Pro Bowl and S John Lynch was selected twice. Ferraro was the assistant special teams coach for the NFC runner-up Carolina Panthers in 2005 after spending the previous 24 seasons coaching in the college ranks. In 2005, the Panthers finished 2nd in the NFL in punt return average with 10.8, second only to Baltimore’s 11.1. Panthers’ P Jason Baker finished 3rd in the NFL with a 38.9 net punting average. During the Panthers’ playoff run their special teams play stood out as Pro Bowl WR Steve Smith returned a punt for a TD in the NFC Championship and the punt coverage team held opponents to a 2.2-yard return average. K John Kasay connected on all 6 of his FG attempts and Baker placed 7 of his 16 punts inside the 20-yard line.

The Vikings benefited from having a pair of veteran QBs on the roster in 2005 that were proven winners. Daunte Culpepper (3 Pro Bowls) and Brad Johnson (2 Pro Bowls) combined for 7 games with passer ratings of 100+ points, the 5th-highest total in team history. Johnson led the NFL in 2005 with an interception percentage of 1.4, throwing only 4 picks in 294 attempts. Johnson set a new Vikings’ record with a 2.7% career interception percentage, passing Warren Moon’s old mark. The Vikings ended 2005 with the 3rd-best total in team history with a mere 14 fumbles and had 3 games on the season without a turnover, tied for the 4th-best.

GETTING DEFENSIVE – The Vikings’ late season turnaround and 6-game winning streak in 2005 was keyed by a flurry of takeaways. The Vikings tied for 1st in the NFC and tied for 2nd in the NFL with 24 interceptions as a team while FS Darren Sharper led the NFC with 9 picks. The Vikings managed only 10 takeaways in the opening 7 games of the season (6 INTs, 4 FRs) and reversed that trend to post 22 takeaways during the 6-game winning streak (17 INTs, 5 FRs). The Vikings’ pressure from the defensive front played a prominent role as well. In the opening 7 games of the season the Vikings were allowing 361.1 yards per game, but turned it around in the past 9 games, allowing 293.8 yards per game.

BIG TICKET TIME – Vikings DT Kevin Williams’ nose for the ball allowed him to set a team record for passes defensed by linemen in 2004 with 10 and finished 2005 with the 2nd-highest mark with 8. Williams bounced back from a knee injury that cost him 2 games late in the season to play the final 3 games of 2005. He posted 3.0 sacks in those games and continued his trend of strong late-season play. He has 12.5 career sacks and 2 INTs in his 12 regular-season games in December/January.

ROBINSON RISING – The Vikings acquired free agent WR Koren Robinson on 9/7/05 and he steadily worked his way into a valuable role with the team. The former 1st-round draft choice of Seattle (9th overall in 2001) earned the respect of his teammates as he was voted the recipient of the 2005 Ed Block Courage Award and was selected to his first Pro Bowl. Robinson returned a kickoff 86 yards for a TD at NY Giants (11/13) to help key the upset win. He ranked 1st in the NFC and 5th in the NFL in kickoff returns (26.0 avg.) despite not having returned a kickoff or punt in his NFL career before coming to the Vikings. The last Vikings player to lead the NFC in kickoff returns was Darrin Nelson in 1983 with a 24.7 average. Offensively, Robinson had his 1st 100-yard receiving game as a Viking and the 1st by a Viking in 2005 vs. Detroit (12/5) with 148 yards on 4 receptions, including an 80-yarder for a TD on the first offensive play of the game. The 80-yard score was the 2nd-longest catch of Robinson’s career and his longest TD catch. The play ranked tied for the 7th-longest in team history. Robinson became the 4th Vikings receiver in team history to score on a rushing touchdown with a 13-yarder vs. St. Louis (12/11). Robinson joins elite company in Vikings history as only the 3rd player to score a TD on a kickoff return, a rush and a pass, joining Bill Brown (1963) and Herschel Walker (1989).

STAYING SHARPER – Three-time Pro Bowl S Darren Sharper burst onto the Vikings’ scene in 2005 by reviving his big-play reputation as he led the NFC and ranked 3rd in the NFL with 9 interceptions and scored a pair of TDs on INT returns. One of the elite defensive playmakers in the NFL, Sharper ranks tied for 6th in NFL history with 7 career INT returns for TDs and ranks 10th in league history with 953 career INT return yards.
