Minnesota Vikings Week 1 Press Conference

WEBBC · #1 (**permalink**) 02-12-2006

Coach Schottenheimer:

Well I think it is obvious to everyone why we were unable to win this game...We just could not run the ball this week and we are going to have to take a look at that all week....We really wanted to get a ground game going against the Jets so that we could open up our passing game more...It just that simple....If you cant run the ball..you are not going to win many football games....

Questions????

Coach, has Moss or Horn complained to you about "not getting the damn ball" yet?

With Moss establishing himself with 102 yards and a TD keeping the D honest, what do you feel was the biggest reason for your running game faltering?

Repsonse to Press Conference Questions:

1. Coach, has Moss or Horn complained to you about "not getting the damn ball" yet?

To be honest...they haven't, but this game was a frustrating game as we felt like we should have been able to move the ball and put points up..We weren't able to do that and I could see their frustration...We look to change things up in week 2.

2. With Moss establishing himself with 102 yards and a TD keeping the D honest, what do you feel was the biggest reason for your running game faltering?

I think that playcalling could have been better...We really looked like we were no loose out their and we really just need to relax and open it up on offense instead of trying to not make mistakes...
