Your Host Edd Gimenez The Pro Sports Genius  

Lot's of talk the last  two days about Brett playing again now for the Vikings . He talked about the fact his daughter told him to win a Super Bowl ring. But did he do it for himself or his kid like he states . The fact he could not make up his mind is what is driving me crazy makes him look sad and not in control. My sources say the Vikings did look to Vick and then passed. Now sources are saying, Brett knew  he was going to be a Vicking two months ago  I think other wise . When you look at him on tv he looks like he cant make up his mind and that he does not want to lose the limelight.        

What difference in playcalling can we expect to see with Favre under center? 

To start, we can expect to see a lot of play-action passes to take advantage of a top run game.  With one of the top running backs in the league threatening with the ground game, Adrian Peterson, linebackers will have to key in on Peterson if they want any hope of shutting him down.  If they bite on a fake handoff, crossing patterns will be wide open for Favre to hit his receivers for some nice gains.

It's likely that the Vikings will pass a bit more than they have in previous years now that they have a legitimate passing threat. 

Last season, the Vikings had the fifth fewest number of pass attempts with only 452.  By comparison, Favre threw 522 passes last season, and that was one of his lowest number of attempts in his career. 

If the Vikings throw more passes this season, it's likely that the number of carries that  Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor get will go down because of it. 

Does that mean their production this season will also suffer?  Not necessarily.  Since defenses will not be stacking the box with eight or nine defenders as often anymore the backs will be more likely to make a defender miss and rush for a nice gain.  Their yards per carry average will likely increase this season, after both runners had a decreased average last season. 

Chester Taylor has also been quite a reliable receiving target, catching 45 passes last season for 399 yards and two touchdowns.  Peterson, whose numbers have been lower than Taylor's, has been working hard this offseason on his receiving abilities, and could turn into a legitimate threat as a receiver as well as a runner.We will just have to stay tuned.. to Michael Vick and now Brett Farve
