Linehan's return highlights Rams-Vikings meeting at Metrodome - Belleville News-Democ Up to the minute news about the St Louis Rams from GoTeamsGo. We'll find the latest St Louis Rams news so you can chat about here. Quote: Linehan's return highlights Rams-Vikings meeting at Metrodome
Belleville News-Democrat, IL - 19 hours ago
MINNEAPOLIS - Scoring points wasn't always a problem for the Minnesota Vikings. Scott Linehan could vouch for that.
The offensive coordinator in Minnesota from 2002-04, Linehan now has his own show to run as head coach of the St. Louis Rams. His return to the Metrodome on the final Sunday of the regular season, however, will surely remind many frustrated Vikings fans what they have missed since Linehan left.
The Rams (7- have shown their share of flaws in Linehan's first year, and his is certainly not the only notable absence from Minnesota's ailing offense. But whatever the reasons, St. Louis has overcome some rough games and maintained that familiar success moving the ball. It's kept the Rams in the playoff race despite their record.
The Vikings (6-9), meanwhile, have struggled mightily in their first season playing for coach Brad Childress.
"I think there is an expectation level. You know, there have been some great offenses that have come out of both organizations," said Linehan, who was also the offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins in 2005. "But ... coaches, players, they change. You've got to go with what you've got. It's no different here. We're seven years out of a Super Bowl victory here. There are a lot of good memories there, but we're not there right now. We're trying to get back to that."
