Week 2 Recap: Vikings @ Lions

Here's some of the random things I came across while watching the Vikings play the forever rebuilding Detroit Lions in Week 2:

* Larry Foote, Linebacker for the Detroit Lions...does a dance/stomp with his "foot(e)" after every play (very uncreative by the way), as if he made the play all on his own...even though he has 3-4 teammates assisting him, if not making the plays themselves.

* Marquand Manuel is really good and getting injured. Las Vegas needs to post an over and under number for how many times Marquand Manuel gets assisted off the field on a weekly basis.

* Percy Harvin is a keeper. I know we got to keep it in perspective while playing the Browns and the Lions, but this guy is always falling forwards and keeps churning for more yards even after initial contact (on kickoff and while playing receiver). He's a wide receiver that runs with the ball in his hands like a running back.

* Brett Favre has been efficient. Even on some of his incomplete passes, I saw some shaky route running (Rice and Shiancoe) by the intended receivers.

* Was it the second half adjustments, or just the intensity of the Vikings (combined with the lack of intensity by the Lions in the second half) that turned the tide of this game. I guess we won't know until we start facing better competition.

* Another game...another win...and no major injuries to any of our key players.
