The Raiders frantically look for answers
IN A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, the Benson brothers were once again allowed to team up against the Raiders. The last time this occured was, of course, the '09 Championship where the Raiders rolled them with a high-flying attack. Tables turned this time, however, as the Bensons out-strategized the competition with superior timing and strong defensive zones.
It was all the old familiar places: Steve airing it out, Dave snatching interceptions, Dan holding the line and a defense simply unable to contain Jon... not to mention Jared Walterstorff's tricky nack for getting open. Justin Cadotte, despite a few drops, also provided a strong option at WR and S, rounding out a very tight Vikings unit.
Despite their offensive weapons, the Raiders just couldn't put together a consistent attack. Pat Fryberger couldn't get open. Mitch Williams was off his game. Kellen Preiner managed some impressive blocking but lineman Cullen C. and Charlie Hurley were under-utilized. Late in the 3rd corner, the Raiders made a comeback with '09 MVP A-Pot ("the great white hope") inserted at QB and the beast (Williams) unleashed upon the Vikings quarterbacks. Vikings' RB Walterstorff even went down with an injury but it wasn't enough to push the Raiders ahead.
Pat Fryberger failed to contain the Vikings receivers
In what would be Charlie Hurley's last game of the season, the Vikings pulled ahead again in the FFL standings. Tune in next week for a duel out in the country, as the 2010 FFL season continues.
All smiles for Benson and co.
