The Vikings will have to take advantage of the weak offensive tackles trotted out by the Bears. The sacks surrendered by each of the tackles and the replacement moves on the offensive line tell the story, putting Jared Allen and Brian Robison in the spotlight for big games.

These are the types of hits that the NFL is trying to get removed from the game. Louis had no idea that Allen was there and Allen launched himself at Louis, trying to blow him up. Leaving his feet for this block is not only unnecessary but extremely dirty. Had Allen not left his feet, I would be okay with this hit, but the fact that he targets Louis’ head is a huge problem...
