Frazier: Not much Vikings can do with depleted DBs

Posted December 05, 2011 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Leslie Frazier,  Tim Tebow,  Cedric Griffin
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings,  Denver Broncos

Minnesota-vikings
The Minnesota Vikings are struggling in the secondary. Even normally optimistic coach Leslie Frazier let loose after the loss on Sunday to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. The Vikings have allowed 24 touchdowns passing this season, the most in the NFL, and missed tackles have become a problem too. The next two games are against Detroit and New Orleans, two of the league's top five passing teams. Frazier says there aren't many changes the Vikings can actually make, with all the injuries they've incurred. Cornerback Cedric Griffin hasn't been the same after coming back from a second major knee surgery. Frazier says he knows Griffin is ''trying to play better'' but that it's ''been a tough year for him.''
