Sidney Rice blogging

April 9th, 2009 – 10:37 AM by Chip Scoggins

Just saw wide receiver Sidney Rice’s personal website which features his own blog. In it, he writes that his second season was a “3 or 4″ on a scale of 10 and talks about his offseason workout program in Miami with Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber.

Here is the link to his blog and website.

Nice website, thanks Judd! Oops, I mean Skip! That does sound like a grueling workour for Rice. Eat breakfast, go to the spa, sit in the steam room, go to the barber, go sledding, jump rope, and throw up. How can he take it?!?!?!

I respect Rice’s decision to remain low profile by staying home at night. It’s nice to hear a pro athlete say that going out at night doesn’t mix well with his workout routine, so he just hangs out after a long day at the gym. Wish he could rub off on players like Mckinney…

True…McKinney’s puking for a different reason…the big lummox.

I sure hope Rice stays healthy, and he, Berrian, and possibly Percy Harvin or some other game breaker are able to help AD break 2000 yards by mounting a legitimate passing threat.

The Vikings pre-draft—can one player make that big of a difference in a team’s outlook? Peering into the draft day crystal ball of the Minnesota Vikings, the answer is a resounding yes—especially if they were fortunate enough to land Florida scat receiver Percy Harvin.

The vision of Harvin catching a slant pass behind linebackers in an open field will be enough to keep opposing defensive coordinators up at night. Add the home run potential of Adrian Peterson and the long ball threat of Bernard Berrian, the dream suddenly becomes a nightmare.

At 5′11, 192lbs and 4.37 speed in the 40 yard dash , Harvin would add a long overdue multidimensional aspect to Minnesota’s offense. In his final season at Florida, he had 644 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, while rushing for 660 yds and 10 TDs, averaging 9.4 yards per carry

Only Missouri’s Jeremy Maclin could duplicate Harvin’s expected impact with the Vikings.

Although, Maclin figures to be long gone by the time the Vikings draft with the 22nd pick of the first round. However, not only does Harvin match Macklin’s skill set, he also brings a special intangible quality—he plays big when it counts.

As a freshman in the 2007 BCS Championship against Ohio State, Harvin had nine receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown to help Florida to a 41-14 rout. In his team’s victory over Oklahoma in this year’s BCS title matchup, Harvin caught five passes for 49 yards, while rushing nine times for 122 yards. Having another home run hitter that knows how to win in close games would be large for the Vikings.

If Peterson rushed for a league leading 1,760 yards with eight men stacked in the box, how much better will he be when linebackers have to drop back for fear of Harvin slipping behind them?

Minor college injuries aside, Harvin’s upside far outweigh the possibilities of him missing a game or two throughout the season. This is a risk that the Vikings can afford to take.

Harvin’s speed, sure hands, and run after catch ability simply take the Vikings offense to the next level. His impact would be similar to that made by DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia and Reggie Bush in New Orleans. Harvin and Peterson would all but guarantee that the Vikings will score at least 28 points per game.

With one of the league’s best defenses, the Vikings only gave up more than 28 points twice last season.

By drafting Harvin, the Vikings could go deep into the playoffs.

VIKINGS’ BEST CLASS: 1967

The Vikings have been superior in the trenches. Six of their Top 10 players are on the offensive or defensive line.

But despite Minnesota’s franchise success, it has never had a deep draft class. The Vikings have had only two classes — 1998 and 1983 — that yielded more than one player who scored in double digits according to ESPN Stats & Information’s ranking system. Even the team’s best draft year, 1967, doesn’t fall into that category. Still, the Class of ‘67 had seven players with points in the rankings, making it by far the Vikings’ best draft.
