vikings running backs 2013
@LataviusM will wear No. [47] On November 1, against the New York Jets, he had 113 rushing yards in the 34–20 victory.
When Peterson went down in 2011 with a knee injury, Gerhart filled in admirably and rushed for 531 yards for the season.
He looked really spectacular in the first pratice.
2015 Update: Gerhart had a very solid run with Minnesota. anything else is a bit to early in my estimation. Or will he desire to find heightened opportunity elsewhere? [46] Two weeks later, Murray ran for a career-high 139 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries in a 27–20 win over the Cleveland Browns.
He made the roster in 2012 but touched the ball only four times while Peterson ripped off over 2,000 yards. Even a guy like Quinton patton could be a choice in the 2nd round..
Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. 2015 Update: Depending on what kind of fan you are, Peterson could definitely slip out of the “favorite” Vikings discussion now that we know how he treats his children.
2015 Update: Rhett Ellison was drafted in 2012 and feels a little more like a tight end than Dugan and Kleinsasser. That’s a question that needs answering. Your English is definitely improving, Malte. ( Log Out / “All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me,” he said on the day he cleaned out his locker at Winter Park two weeks ago.
What about coaches? Latavius Rashard Murray (born January 18, 1990) is an American football running back for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). 2015 Update: Tahi and D’Imperio didn’t last long and were replaced by Jerome Felton in 2012. Pretty much where we were at the end of the 2012 season. [75] In Week 6, against the Arizona Cardinals, he rushed for a career-high 155 yards and a touchdown in a 27–17 victory. He did a great job in 2012 blocking for AD. That group includes Rodney Hampton, Ricky Watters, and Chris Warren (maybe more). He is my sleeper pick for the Vikings in the 3rd round. I think everyone would agree that he was getting better at the end of the season. When Peterson was suspended in 2014, Asiata (with McKinnon) did his best to keep the ground game moving. [10] In his redshirt sophomore season, he was named Conference USA Championship MVP and also was named AutoZone Liberty Bowl MVP for his performance against Georgia in which he rushed for 104 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown. there shold be guys to focus on at the 2nd round as far as receivers go. Ok, it’s agreed then.
Cook's big day brings comparisons, Dantzler 'doing better' after being carted off field with neck injury, Refs stick it to 'Tank for Trevor' fans with calls against Packers. Vikings Territory brings you the latest Vikings news, rumors, speculation, and reaction surrounding the Minnesota Vikings and is part of the purpleTERRITORY Media LLC network! Get excited: Adrian Peterson recorded the second most prolific rushing season in NFL history and then headed into the offseason driven to do even more. Naufahu Tahi spent 2007 learning from Richardson, then was the Vikings primary blocking back through 2010. [66], On September 11, 2017, in the season opener against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, Murray had two rushes for six yards in his Vikings debut, ultimately being out-shined by rookie Dalvin Cook. Don’t cha want a speedster too with “Gettin’ away from the cops speed” like Chris Johnson? But that was it.
But I guess they like the insurance he provides behind Adrian. The Vikings were thin at quite a few positions and Bennett was not a good enough prospect to warrant a number one pick (granted, the Vikings were picking late in the first round and the 2001 draft actually wasn’t that stacked). It also included $106,200 guaranteed and a signing bonus of $106,200. Seriously.
The drop off in talent from Peterson and Gerhart to players like Asiata and Banyard figures to be significant.
“If you need two yards, I’ll get you three. Michael Bennett (2001-2005): Michael Bennett was drafted as an obvious response to Robert Smith’s retirement. Taylor stayed productive once Peterson was on the roster; he rushed for 844 yards in Peterson’s rookie year and caught 99 passes combined in 2008 and 2009.

Mark Craig has covered the NFL for 23 years, and the Vikings since 2003 for the Star Tribune.
Granny done fixed him up some a her possum stew, Fran. 28. [59] His pass protecting ability was rated third best in the NFL among running backs. If you need five yards, I’ll get you three.” -Leroy Hoard. He joined the team in 1999 and actually had some real growing pains.
After a torn ACL injury, Dalvin Cook is on track for a healthy return to the field.
Seriously, look those guys up. [48], On Christmas Eve, Murray became the first Raider to reach the 1,000-yard mark rushing, since Darren McFadden did in 2010. Bennett somehow stayed in the league until 2010, though he scored only two more touchdowns. The Fullbacks: Charles Evans, Harold Morrow, Tony Richardson, Naufahu Tahi, Ryan D’Imperio, Jerome Felton, Zach Line. Peterson is in his fifth season and is already an ‘all-time’ Viking great. But be careful who you hang out with, son, as some “improvement” in the language may not be a good thing.

As expected, he began the season as the Raiders' starting running back and had 11 attempts for 44 yards in the season-opening 33–13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Brad Childress liked labeling his backs, too; Chester Taylor was the feature back, Mewelde Moore was the third down back, and Pinner got the rest. He’s been an effective third-down back for Pittsburgh since 2008.
Why can’t he get there? Here are his total fumbles by year: 4, 9, 7, 1, 1, 4, 5, 0, 7. Receivers is gonna be fun!
Powered by Minute Media © 2020 All Rights Reserved. In his sophomore year, he was third-team All-state honoree following a 1,609-yard, 14-touchdown season. 2. In 2002 he had 11 touchdown runs and in 2003 he became the Vikings feature back, rushing for a career-high 745 yards and catching 65 passes. Finding a RB in FA is not the answer… if we trade Harvin, we will need to hit a home run with a WR and a 3rd down back to make up for the lost production of Harvin. [83], Murray finished his first season with the Saints with 637 rushing yards and five touchdowns along with 34 receptions for 235 yards and a touchdown. running backs Get excited: Adrian Peterson recorded the second most prolific rushing season in NFL history and then headed into the offseason driven to do even more. Having survived the Bye Week, what does the rest of the season look like for Vikings players/coaches/staff?
But i’m not against if we end up with Woodhead, but if there is a good late round sleeper RB I wouldn’t mind taking a chance on him. In 2006, Taylor rushed 303 times for over 1,200 yards, the first Vikings back to carry the ball more than 200 times since Michael Bennett in 2002.
I guess that was early on. I also like RB Ray Graham from Pitt in the 4-5 round as a 3rd down option. [16] He was mostly held in check up to the end of the regular season. the reason I think Woodhead is good in the first place is because of New England..
– A new video series delving into Vikings/NFL Rivalries [Premie. So what’s in store for Gerhart’s future? [44] Murray remained the starting running back for the last three games of the season and finished his first year with 82 carries, 424 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns in 15 games. Toby and asiata are both similar to AD. Thoughts of a 2,500-yard rushing season are outlandish.
Word was only a Viking for that one season, but the fact that he lead the team in rushing that year is enough to get him on this list. Yea, so I’ve heard, rarely soon one around though.. maybe it’s too long a playcall to fit that mini play calling sheet that musgrave have, here it is.
Morrow touched the ball even less than Evans, but was a huge special teams contributor. Look at starting RB’s and quite a few were 6th/7th or UDFA’s. [28][29] He finished his college career with a total of 2,424 rushing yards, 37 rushing touchdowns, 50 receptions, 524 receiving yards and 6 receiving touchdowns. “With that, there’s not much you can’t accomplish. So now what?
He can carry this team there again. Today, we look at the running backs.
But why not? Draft any OL from Wisconsin/really any big 10 school because they are always awesome for some reason.
I guess. If it’s true that quality WR’s will still be there at #55 ( not fully convinced) that would seem to put us in BPA mode from OL, DT, LB, and DB positions.
[15] In the next game against Boston College, he had 72 rushing yards and a touchdown.
– 1500 ESPN Twin Cities", "Wild Card – Oakland Raiders at Houston Texans – January 7th, 2017", "Vikings Sign Running Back Latavius Murray", "Latavius Murray signs with Minnesota Vikings", ". I’m probably in the minority, but I thought he would be better on Jacksonville—it seems like a lot of these back up running backs would be better off staying put (aside from those millions of extra dollars they get in free agency).
That should happen well before free agency opens in mid-March.
Please also read our Privacy Notice and Terms of Use, which became effective December 20, 2019. He left for Washington in 1995 to get away from the Metrodome’s artificial turf, and had two 1,300-plus yard seasons there. Heck yeah!
[39] It also marked the first rushing touchdown the Chiefs defense allowed all season and his 90-yard touchdown marked the longest rush for the Raiders that year.
We simply have to many other needs to fill first (DT, LB, WR, CB, OG). Could Asiata sneak his way up the depth chart once camp rolls around? [40] After having success on his first three attempts, he suffered a concussion on his fourth carry and was taken out of the game. Chester Taylor (2006-2009): Chester Taylor might belong in one of the arbitrary categories listed below, but I decided to put him among the feature backs. We need to find someone with a “little wiggle” who can catch passes out of the back field. Felton had an excellent three year run with Minnesota and was a Pro Bowler while leading for Peterson in 2012. Allen missed the entire 1993 season (ACL), but rushed for over 1,000 yards in 1992 and 1994. He has great highlights for sure and I defiantly liked him. [69] In the regular season finale against the Chicago Bears, Murray had 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the 23–10 victory.
If there is a speedster / a consistently pass catching RB worth taking a risk on in the 6th / 7 th round I think we should pull the trigger.
These two actually played together in the mid-1990s.
[18] Following the conclusion of his junior season, he was selected as the team's MVP and offensive player of the year. He’s happier’n a hound dog on a fresh rabbit trail. So I set that goal. In 1993, while Allen was injured, Graham (488 yards) combined with Barry Word (458) and Smith (399) for a pretty good rushing season.
