Under Linehan's balanced attack in 2003 the Vikings had 4 players top the 400-yard rushing mark for the season and had three different backs break the 100-yard mark, Michael Bennett (1), Onterrio Smith (2) and Moe Williams (1).
Linehan also prepped backup QB Gus Frerotte to step in for an injured Culpepper and go 2-0 as a starter. In his 1st start as a Viking vs. San Francisco (9/28), Frerotte set a Vikings record with a 157.2 passer rating and throw 4 TDs without an INT.
Fitz said:Dude if the Dolphins don't select a RB I'll be so pissed. Our Qaurterback position is not as bad as our running back position. We need some serious help at the position.
