MEET THE HEAD COACHES

WEEK 2 -- COLTS AT VIKINGS -- 2

DUNGYNFL Head Coach: 3rd YearOverall NFL Experience: 11th YearCoaching Experience: 31st YearOverall NFL Record: 14-19 (.424)Regular Season: 14-19 (.424)Postseason: 0-0 (.000)Record with MIN: 14-19 (.424)Record vs. IND: 0-0 (.000)College: Eastern Illinois (‘78) Entering his third season leading the

Vikings, Head Coach Brad Childress has a team built on his principles for winning football. Childress’ squad features strong play along both lines, a dynamic running game and an opportunistic defense. A bevy of top-fl ight linemen have been important to developing the identity of the Vikings and are now being complimented by emerging playmakers. The offseason addition of 2007 NFL sack leader and All-Pro DE Jared Allen via trade with Kansas City along with free agent starters WR Bernard Berrian, FB Thomas Tapeh, and S Madieu Williams fi lled key positions with veteran playmakers. With Allen, the Vikings now have 5 Pro Bowlers along the offensive and defensive lines and 7 members of the 2007 Pro Bowl squad. Coupled with a pair of proven 1,000-yard runners in the backfi eld and an aggressive defense with a nose for the ball, the Vikings enter 2008 with a strong nucleus of experienced talent. Since taking over the team in 2006, Childress has placed a premium on playing smart football, minimizing mistakes and winning the line of scrimmage. The 2007 Vikings became the 1st team in franchise history to rank #1 in the NFL in rushing offense and rushing defense. The duos of G Steve Hutchinson and C Matt Birk on offense joined by DTs Kevin Williams and Pat Williams on defense all made second consecutive Pro Bowl trips in 2007. The Vikings offense set franchise records by rushing for 2,634 yards (164.6 yards per game) with rookie phenom Adrian Peterson leading the way with an NFC-best 1,341 yards. Peterson’s total ranked as the 2nd-highest in team history, and his 5.6 yards-per-carry average ranked 2nd-best in the NFL. Fellow RB Chester Taylor, coming off his fi rst 1,000-yard rushing season in 2006, fi nished with 844 yards and 7 TDs on 157 carries. Together Peterson and Taylor accounted for 2,185 of the team’s rushing total, giving the Vikings the most dangerous rushing tandem in team history in terms of yardage. Second-year QB Tarvaris Jackson showed signifi cant improvement from year one as he threw for 1,911 yards and 9 TDs while rushing for 260 yards and 3 scores despite missing 4 games due to injury. He fi nished the season 8-4 as a starter. Defensively, the Williams tandem shut down the run better than anyone in the NFL, and the Vikings posted the #1 rush defense for the 2nd straight year. Over the past 2 seasons, the team has stifl ed opponents by allowing 67.9 yards per game, 2.9 yards per carry and 0.5 rushing TDs per game in those 32 games. Behind the rugged DTs, the Vikings have an emerging trio of linebackers who have a knack for the big play and ball-hawking defensive backs. The 2007 squad tied a francise record by scoring 6 TDs on interception returns and 2 more on fumble returns. The Vikings’ 13 defensive TDs (9 INTs, 4 FRs) since 2006 lead the NFL and are 5 more than the runner-up Packers’ 8. On special teams, the Vikings ranked 4th in the NFL with a 24.8 kickoff return average and 6th in the NFL as they held opponents to an average starting fi eld position just beyond the 26-yard line (26.2). The 2008 season marks Childress’ 31st in coaching and his 11th on an NFL sideline. He currently has a combined record of 219-174-8, including playoffs and bowl action.

Tony Dungy is the winningest head coach in Indianapolis Colts franchise history, winning Super Bowl XLI and compiling a 73-24 mark since being hired on January 22, 2002. Each of Dungy’s six-plus years in Indianapolis has seen the Colts post no less than 10 wins, an AFC South Division Championship and a playoff berth on the way to becoming one of the NFL’s dominant franchises. Dungy has won at least 12 regular season games with the Colts each of the last fi ve seasons to set an NFL record, directing the Colts to records of 12-4, 12-4, 14-2, 12-4 and 13-3 in successive years. Prior to his tenure in Indianapolis, Dungy spent six years as the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and owns a career regular-season record of 127-66. He led the Bucs to double-digit win seasons in 1997 (10-6), 1999 (11-5) and 2000 (10-6). Dungy also served 1981-88 with Pittsburgh, including 1984-88 as defensive coordinator. Dungy was the defensive coordinator at Minnesota from 1992-95, during which time the Vikings intercepted an NFL-high 95 passes and made three playoff appearances. At Pittsburgh in 1984, he became the NFL’s youngest coordinator (age 28). In fi ve seasons as Pittsburgh’s coordinator, the Steelers averaged 24 interceptions and 37 takeaways, while scoring 20 touchdowns.

AT

Head Coach Childress on the election of LB E.J. Henderson, G Steve Hutchinson and K Ryan Longwell as the 2008 team captains: Obviously it’s an honor to be elected by your peers in that captaincy role...I think it identifi es them as, obviously good players, good leaders and good citizens as well. It’s really an earned honor...I know everybody does it differently, but those guys will be our guys for the year. It has advantages, even though we have a leadership committee, (the players) are identifi ed and people can readily speak to them or they can speak to people. It goes both ways.

VIKINGS TEAM NOTES

WEEK 2 -- COLTS AT VIKINGS --5

Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell enters his 3rd season with the Vikings with 2 Pro Bowlers along the offensive line, the 2007 NFC-leading rusher in the backfi eld, a more experienced quarterback and a new playmaking wide receiver. In 2007, Bevell helped put together the best rushing attack in the NFL as the Vikings averaged 164.6 yards per game and 5.3 yards per carry. Their 2,634

rushing yards was the highest total in team history while their 22 rushing touchdowns ranked tied for 2nd. The Vikings were led by the rushing tandem of rookie RB Adrian Peterson and RB Chester Taylor, who amassed a combined 2,185 yards on the ground, shattering Daunte Culpepper and Robert Smith’s previous highest rushing total by a tandem of 1,991 yards in 2000. Against San Diego, Peterson broke the NFL single-game rushing record when he gained 296 yards on the ground. Peterson, along with C Matt Birk, G Steve Hutchinson, and FB Tony Richardson earned trips to the 2008 Pro Bowl. This offseason, Bevell’s offense saw the addition of deep threat WR Bernard Berrian, FB Thomas Tapeh and RB Maurice Hicks.

Asst. Head Coach/Def. Coord. Leslie Frazier On the defensive side of the ball, Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator Leslie Frazier will begin his 2nd season with the Vikings and his 9th season in the NFL. In his fi rst year with Minnesota, Frazier led the team to its 2nd-consecutive #1 ranking against the run, holding opponents to 74.1 yards per game on the ground. The team notched 8 defensive touchdowns and led the league with 6 interceptions returned for scores. The Vikings

tied for 9th with 31 takeaways and tied a team record for the most defensive points scored in a season with 50 (8 touchdowns, 1 safety). Prior to joining the Vikings, Frazier won a Super Bowl in 2006 as a member of the Indianapolis Colts’ staff, coaching defensive backs and serving as a special assistant to Tony Dungy. During that championship season, the Colts’ defense posted 13 takeaways in the playoffs and allowed only 2 second-half TDs in the 4 postseason games. During the 2008 offseason, Frazier saw his unit add key pieces at defensive end with the trade for Jared Allen, who led the NFL with 15.5 sacks in 2007, and at safety with the signing of free agent Madieu Williams. Frazier now has 3 Pro Bowlers along the defensive line and 4 members of the 2007 Pro Bowl squad.

Special Teams Coordinator Paul Ferraro The 2008 season marks Paul Ferraro’s 3rd as the Vikings Special Teams Coordinator, his 4th season of NFL coaching and his 27th season of coaching overall. Ferraro’s 2007 special teams units, the core of which have returned in 2008, were some of the most successful in team history. The 2007 squad set team records for kickoff return average, the longest kickoff return in team history, the most punts landed inside the 20, and the most 50+

yard punts. The team also converted a pair of onside kicks. Leading the way on special teams in 2007 was LB Heath Farwell, who topped the team in special teams tackles for the 2nd straight season, was voted by his teammates as the Special Teams MVP and was recognized as a Pro Bowl alternate.

PRACTICE SQUAD MAKES PERFECT The Vikings have several players on the 53-man roster who have climbed the NFL ladder, starting their careers as practice squad play-ers. Vikings starting RG Anthony Herrera was a practice squad player as a rookie in 2004. Vikings CB Charles Gordon and LB David Her-ron began their careers as practice squad members with the club and moved into regular roles with the team. Veteran RB Maurice Hicks was a member of the 49ers practice squad in 2004 before moving to the ac-tive roster and setting team record for kickoff return yards in 2006 and 2007. Special teams standout Vinny Ciurciu entered the NFL in 2003 on the Panthers practice squad but ended that season playing in the Super Bowl for the team against New England. The Vikings top special teams player, Heath Farwell, came into the NFL as a rookie free agent and spent the majority of his rookie season on the Vikings practice squad before moving to the active roster.

For many NFL players, not being selected in the 7 rounds of the draft is extra motivation to prove their worth. The Vikings feature a num-ber of undrafted players who have earned valuable roles on the team. The most notable is 2-time Pro Bowl DT Pat Williams, who was a rookie free agent with Buffalo in 1997 before moving into a starting role with the Bills in 2000. The Vikings had 3 undrafted rookies make the 53-man roster in 2008- LB Erin Henderson, S Hussain Abdullah and T Drew Radovich. Vikings long snapper Cullen Loeffl er was a rookie free agent with the club as was starting RG Anthony Herrera and DB/return man Charles Gordon. Vikings lineman Artis Hicks was a rookie free agent with the Eagles and went on to start in the Super Bowl for the team. The Vikings most notable all-time undrafted players include future Ring of Honor inductees John Randle and Mick Tingelhoff.

With the 49ers, Hicks has 205 career carries for 869 yards (4.2 avg.) and six touchdowns. He was also a weapon on special teams as he owns the top two single-season kickoff return totals in 49ers history, including the team record of 1,502 in 2007. Also joining the Vikings during the 2008 offseason was FB Thomas Tapeh. Tapeh, who graduated high school in St. Paul, MN, and attended the University of Minnesota, is in his 5th year in the NFL, having played with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2004-07. Tapeh played with the Ea-gles when Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress was the Eagles offensive coordinator, and both men helped the Eagles advance to Super Bowl XXXIX after the 2004 season. Tapeh helped RB Brian Westbrook set a career-high with 1,333 rushing yards and opened holes for Westbrook to break the 100-yard mark 14 times during 2006-07, including playoffs. FBs Jeff Dugan and Naufahu Tahi round out the Vikings backfi eld. Dugan, a 7th-round draft choice (220 overall) in 2004, has started 12 games during his Vikings career, including 7 in 2006. He is a physical blocker who helped the Vikings set a team record with 2,634 rushing yards in 2007. He can also line up at TE. Tahi is in his 3rd year in the NFL and with the Vikings. He was originally picked up by the Vikings from the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad.

PETERSON POUNDS ON THE GROUND RB Adrian Peterson became only the 2nd RB in Vikings history to rush for 100+ yards in consecutive openers- vs. Atlanta in 2007 and at Green Bay in 2008. Peterson joins Vikings all-time leading rusher Robert Smith in the feat, which he accomplished in the 1996 and 1997 openers. Peterson ran for his 7th career 100+ yard game in his 15 career outings. The 7 games over the century mark moves him into a tie for 5th all-time in team history with Terry Allen. Peterson can join Smith and Chuck Foreman as the only Vikings RBs to post con-secutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons if he continues his pace.

WEEK 2 -- COLTS AT VIKINGS -- 11

VIKINGS OFFENSIVE/DEFENSIVE TEAM NOTES

VIKINGS OFFENSIVE LINE The Vikings offensive line is anchored by two perennial Pro Bowlers in C Matt Birk and G Steve Hutchinson. Birk, who has played in 130 career games with 107 starts since being drafted by the Vikings in 1998 has played in six Pro Bowls (1998-2007), which is tied with Mick Tingle-hoff for the most by a Vikings center. He has paved the way for some of the best rushing performances in Vikings history, having been a fi xture in the lineup for four of the Vikings top fi ve single-season performances during his seven seasons as a full-time starter. He has also helped set the top three team rushing marks. Hutchinson joined the Vikings in 2006 and helped the team lead the NFL in rushing yards in 2007 with 2,634. Widely considered the top guard in the NFL, he has appeared in fi ve Pro Bowls and is a 5-time All-Pro. Hutchinson has blocked for 1,000-yard rushers in each of his seven NFL seasons. Also starting along the line are T Ryan Cook, G Anthony Herrera and T Artis Hicks. Currently T Bryant McKinnie is serving a four-game suspension, which he will return from when the Vikings head to New Orleans. Backup tackles Marcus Johnson and Drew Radovich, along with C John Sullivan fi ll out the rest of the offensive line.

OFFENSIVE LINE PAVES THE WAYSince 2006 the Vikings have had 14 performances with a 100-yard rusher. RB Adrian Peterson leads the way with 7 followed by backfi eld partner Chester Taylor’s 6 and former RB Artose Pinner’s one. All-Pro LG Steve Hutchinson has blocked for a 100-yard rusher 45 times in his career and has made room for three games with a runner over 200 yards. Hutchinson has had a 1,000-yard rusher behind him in each of his seven NFL seasons and is off to a fast start again in 2008.

VIKINGS WIDE RECEIVERS

RICE IS NICE Rookie WR Sidney Rice tied for 2nd among rookie wide receivers with 4 touchdown recep-tions in 2007 and is off to a fast start in 2008, catching a TD against Green Bay in week one. Rice had 31 catches for 396 yards and 4 TDs in ‘07, including a 60-yarder and a 40-yarder, on the season. He averaged 12.8 yards per catch. Rice also threw 2 passes for 94 yards and a TD in 2007, giving him a passer rating of 118.8.

VIKINGS DEFENSIVE LINE The Vikings defensive line contains three Pro Bowlers in defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams and newcomer DE Jared Allen. Together Kevin and Pat, along with defensive ends Ray Edwards and Kenechi Udeze (on reserve/non-football illness list in 2008), have formed the toughest defensive line in the NFL against the run over the past two years. In 2007, the team allowed an average of 74.1 yards per game on the ground, and only three teams - Dallas, Washington and Denver - gained 100 yards rushing, while the longest individual rush was for 30 yards. The previous season the Vikings allowed just 985 rushing yards (61.6 per game), which ranked 2nd since the 1969 AFL-NFL merg-er to only the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, who gave up only 970 rushing yards during their Super Bowl Championship season. Kevin has played in three Pro Bowls while Pat has played in the past two. In one of the biggest 2008 offseason moves in the NFL, Allen joined the Vikings via a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. Having led the NFL in sacks with 15.5 in 2007 despite missing two games, Allen earned his fi rst Pro Bowl and All-Pro Honors that season. He ranks 2nd to only DE Jason Taylor with 43.0 sacks since entering the league in 2004. Filling out the rest of the line is Edwards, who tied for the team lead in sacks in ‘07 with 5.0, as well as defensive tackles Ellis Wyms, Leger Douzable and defensive ends Otis Grigsby and Brian Robison. Wyms joined the Vikings via free agency during the 2008 offseason and Douzable was drafted by the team in the 5th round of the 2008 draft (152 overall). Robison earned all-rookie honors in 2007 as he ranked 3rd among NFL rookies with 4.5 sacks.

In Week 14 last season at San Francisco, DT Kevin Williams scored his 4th career TD on an 18-yard INT return, moving him into a 1st-place tie for the most career defensive touchdowns (INTs and FRs) in Vikings history. The interception was also Williams’ 2nd on the season, which tied a team record for the most in a season by a defensive lineman, and his 4th career pick, which is a team record for the most in a career by a defensive lineman.

WILLIAMS WRITES HISTORY

NOWHERE TO RUNThe Vikings have allowed only two 100-yard individual rushing perfor-mances in the past 33 games. Only St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jack-son (12/31/06) and Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant (9/8/08) have reached the century mark during that time with 142 and 119 yards re-spectively.

In 2008 the Vikings receiving core will benefi t from the addition of big-play wide receiver Bernard Berrian, who was acquired as a free agent from Chicago this past offseason. The former 3rd round draft pick of the Bears played four seasons for the Vikings NFC North foe and used his exceptional speed to rack up 2,197 yards off 150 receptions. Berrian joins incumbents Sidney Rice and Bobby Wade as the Vikings starting wideouts. Rice, 22 years old, enters his second season in Minnesota. As a rookie Rice gained 396 yards and scored four touchdowns. His four trips to the end zone ranked him second behind Kansas City’s Dwayne Bowe for rookie TD catches. The former high school quarterback also threw two passes on trick plays that resulted in 94 yards for the Vikings. His longest pass, 79 yards, is the longest in Vikings history by a non-quarter-back. Bobby Wade will return to his preferred slot position in 2008 after a strong season last year in which he led the Vikings in receptions with 54, which was also a career high. Second year man Aundrae Allison, holder of the longest play in Vikings history – a 104-yard kickoff return - and Robert Ferguson round out the receiving core.

WEEK 2 -- COLTS AT VIKINGS -- 12

VIKINGS DEFENSIVE TEAM NOTES

VIKINGS LINEBACKERS A trio of ball-hawking linebackers return for the Vikings in 2008, including 2007 Team Defensive MVP and 2008 defensive captain E.J. Henderson. The middle linebacker, Henderson has led the Vikings in tackles in each of the past two seasons with 155 and 142 tackles respec-tively. Henderson also has recorded 7.5 of his 9.5 sacks over the past two seasons as well as scoring his lone career touchdown on a 45-yard interception return in 2006. Flanking Henderson are Ben Leber and Chad Greenway. Leber, a seven year veteran out of Kansas State, was acquired by the Vikings from San Diego in 2006. Leber has three-times been a starter on the NFL’s number-one rated rush defense with San Diego in 2005 and Min-nesota in 2006 and 2007. Leber also tied for the team lead in sacks with 5. Greenway will start his second season at linebacker after missing all of his rookie season with a knee injury. Greenway was a fi rst round selection (17th overall) of the Vikings in 2006 after an impressive college campaign where was named an All-American his senior year. In his fi rst year starting for the Vikings in 2007 Greenway showed his playmaking abilities as he led the team in takeaways with 6 (4 FR, 2 INT) and was second on the team with 130 tackles. His four fumble recoveries tied him for the NFL lead. Green way also returned an interception for a touch-down off of eventual Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning. Second-year man out of Michigan State David Herron, former Carolina Panther and Boston College Eagle Vinny Ciurciu, and rookie Erin Henderson, brother of E.J. and Maryland product, round out the linebacking core for Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and lineback-ers coach Fred Pagac. LB Heath Farwell, who led the team in special teams tackles in both 2006 and 2007 with 25 and 32 respectively, was lost for the 2008 season with a torn ACL in the fi rst preseason game.

SHARPER IMAGE S Darren Sharper is currently tied for the Vikings team record for the most interception returns for a touchdown with 3. As a Viking, Sharper has notched 17 INTs. He now has 1,024 career return yards, which ranks 8th in NFL history. Sharper currently leads all active players with the most interceptions (53) as well as the most combined takeaways (58).

MAN IN THE MIDDLE

VIKINGS DEFENSIVE BACKS The Vikings return three of four starters in the secondary for 2008. Joining CB Cedric Griffi n, S Darren Sharper, and CB Antoine Win-fi eld is 2008 free agent pickup S Madieu Williams. Williams adds another veteran body in the defensive backfi eld hav-ing been a three-year starter (missed his sophomore season due to in-jury) for Cincinnati. Sharper, the 12-year veteran, is the leader in the secondary. The four-time Pro Bowl starter has 53 career interceptions (17 with the Vi-kings), the most by any active player in the NFL. Sharper also is tied for fi fth in NFL history with eight career interception return touchdowns. The former University of Texas star Cedric Griffi n enters his third year with Vikings after being drafted by the team in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft, while Winfi eld, a fi rst round pick (23rd overall) by Buffalo in the 1999 NFL draft, has gone on to record 763 career tackles and 18 interceptions. With Madieu Williams beginning the season on the sidelines with a neck injury, the Vikings fi rst selection in the 2008 NFL Draft (2nd round, 43rd overall) Tyrell Johnson will gain some important and meaningful reps at the safety position. Adding depth to the the secondary is Charles Gordon, Marcus McCauley, Eric Frampton, Benny Sapp and rookie Husain Abdullah.

GREENWAY LEADS TEAM IN TACKLES LB Chad Greenway led the team with 8 tackles in week one at Green Bay. Six of his stops were solo, including one tackle for a loss.

WEEK 2 -- COLTS AT VIKINGS -- 15

STADIUM UPDATE As committed as the Vikings are to bringing a Super Bowl cham-pionship to the fans and to the state, the franchise is equally devoted to securing a long-term home for the team in Minnesota. The Vikings are one of the few NFL franchises without a stadium solution but remain determined to collaborate with the State Legislature, the Governor and local leaders to resolve this issue. With the team’s Metrodome lease set to expire in 2011 and costs increasing $50 million with each year of delay, 2009 is the critical year to preserve the long-term viability of the Vikings in Minnesota. Working with the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission (MSFC), the Vikings are moving forward on a public-private partnership that will open a new, multi-purpose stadium on the current Metrodome site in the year 2012. The two sides will present this stadium develop-ment plan to the 2009 Legislature for consideration. The joint proposal will include specifi c stadium design and program elements, a fi nance plan and principles of agreement on how the new facility will be operated and governed, all crucial topics for state leaders to analyze as they work to reach a stadium solution in 2009. The economic development pro-posal will include three critical elements that go beyond hosting Vikings home games:• A retractable-roof stadium that will give Minnesotans a state-of-the-art venue to be used year-round for high school and amateur sports, trade shows, community and cultural events, as well as national and international happenings.• A Winter Garden light rail train station that will serve as a connect-ing point for the future Central Corridor light rail line and the existing Hiawatha line. This gathering place is integral to the Vikings vision of the overall development and will host indoor/outdoor activities for transit riders, neighborhood residents, downtown workers and stadium attend-ees.• A privately-fi nanced redevelopment of the Downtown East area that will include offi ce buildings, residences, shops and restaurants. This exciting project will create jobs, boost the economy and bring a renewed energy to this area of Minneapolis.
