More evidence of growing friction between the offense and defense - this little quote from Jared Allen, who was speaking to reporters about the Tennessee loss: We have to get on some teams early. If we’re playing from ahead, the quarterback will start dropping back, and then you’ll see pressure … lots of pressure. So it’s the [...]

WE HAVE THE SAME RECORD AS THE VIKINGS NOW WAS ALL THAT MONEY FOR JARED WORTH IT? - long-time commenter randy5k Great point, Rando. The Vikings spent a bajillion bucks on Jared Allen, yet they have the same crippling weakness the Chiefs have–shaky quarterback play. Honestly, the One Man Gang hasn’t really been any better than [...]

Jared Allen is out of the league’s substance abuse program after two years without a violation, meaning he is no longer one infraction away from a one-year suspension. “I don’t have to tell them where I travel to anymore,” Allen said. “I’m back to being a normal citizen in the NFL.” A normal citizen who [...]

A recap of Sunday’s big win. That really was a great play by E.J. Henderson when he jumped through the line and tackled D’Angelo Williams for the loss. Why did the guy leave out the two straight sacks by Jared Allen and Kevin Williams though?

How long will the Vikings‘ top-flight defense tolerate being saddled with an offense that isn’t giving them any help? Not very long. In fact, there are already signs of dissension - like this remark from Jared Allen during a post-game interview with KFAN’s Greg Coleman: This game sucks man. This one sticks with you because…it’s the [...]

Minnesota desperately needed a pass rusher, Jared Allen couldn't get a long-term contract and Kansas City didn't want to ante up for a defensive end who had been arrested three times for driving under the influence.

Green Bay’s 24-19 squeaker Monday night for me is best characterized by one word: Relief. I was relieved that Aaron Rodgers passed his first true test (and Rodgers did it without Jared Allen’s helmet coming anywhere near his spine). I was also relieved that the Pack avoided any big injuries. But most of all, I was [...]

The Packers' offensive line fended off one of the fiercest defensive fronts in football in their 24-19 victory over Minnesota on Monday night, holding the Vikings without a sack and keeping highly touted new defensive end Jared Allen from making a tackle. But despite their success in pass protection, the Packers' line committed too many penalties Monday, giving Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy...

Maybe Aaron Rodgers is good and maybe he isn’t - it’s kind of hard to tell when his offensive line is getting called for a penalty on almost every play. Of course you can’t blame them - look who they’re trying to block. Jared Allen has clearly gotten in Chad Clifton’s head. And there’s already [...]

According to Jared Allen at The Hill , Republicans are claiming their month-long floor protest during the summer recess has "changed the terms of the debate" on removing the 27-year ban on most off-shore drilling. Republican Conference Chairman Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) said, "The likelihood of having a vote is greater today that it was prior to us engaging in this month-long process." A total of...

The Vikings know what to do to insure Aaron Rodgers‘ debut as a starter turns out miserable - pressure him, rattle him, get him on the ground. “It’s on us to disrupt his timing,” said Jared Allen. “We can’t allow him to sit back there and get into a rhythm and make those throws [...]
