3 HEAD COACH LESLIE FRAZIER HEAD COACH LESLIE FRAZIER NFL Head Coach: 2nd Year Overall NFL Experience: 20th Year Coaching Experience: 25th Year Overall NFL Record: (.363) Regular Season: (.363) Postseason: 0-0 (.000) Record with MIN: (.363) Leslie Frazier begins his 2nd full season as Head Coach of the Vikings in 2012 with a core of young talent in place and a team motivated for success. With the unique perspective of a Super Bowl winner as a player and coach, Frazier has a proven track record of success. His 1st title came as a starting CB with the 1985 Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XX. Frazier marks his 14th season as an NFL coach in 2012 and has another 11 years of collegiate coaching experience. In his 13 seasons as an NFL coach, Frazier has coached on 7 playoff teams and been a part of 6 division championships. Entering 2012, the Vikings have added talent and improved the depth on the roster. The club selected T Matt Kalil with the #4 pick in the Draft and traded up to select S Harrison Smith at #29, giving the club a rare pair of 1st-rounders and took CB Josh Robinson with their 3rd-round choice. Kalil is the Vikings highest draft pick since Hall of Famer Chris Doleman at #4 in 1985 and the 2ndhighest offensive lineman drafted in team history behind Hall of Famer Ron Yary at #1 in Smith is only the 3rd DB selected in the 1st round in Vikings history. Key free agent pickups TE John Carlson and WR Jerome Simpson give the club more offensive firepower. Since taking over as Head Coach for the final 6 games of the 2010 season Frazier has had to contend with injuries to marquee players and a QB position that was in flux before 1st-rounder Christian Ponder took control of the job. The Vikings of 2011 flashed the talent that is in place on the roster but struggled with inconsistency and injuries during a 3-13 campaign. Individually, DE Jared Allen came close to NFL history with a 22.0-sack season, breaking the Vikings record and coming within reach of the NFL s single-season mark. Allen was recognized with an Associated Press 1st-Team All-Pro nod and a starter s job in the Pro Bowl. He was joined at the Pro Bowl by LB Chad Greenway, who marked the 3rd of the past 4 Vikings 1st-round draft picks to earn Pro Bowl honors. Offensively, Percy Harvin showed his dynamic playmaking ability as he set Vikings records for rushing yards by a WR, returned his Vikings-record 4th career kickoff for a TD and set career-highs for receiving. Rookie TE Kyle Rudolph earned All-Rookie with his 3 TDs in the 2nd half of the season and gave a glimpse into the future with his receiving skill Season Frazier, who originally joined the Vikings in 2007 as Defensive Coordinator and added Assistant Head Coach to his title in 2008, notched a 3-3 record on an interim basis, including a 2-1 mark on the road after the team had lost nine consecutive away games. His steady and consistent personality and coaching style helped the Vikings prepare under unprecedented circumstances over the final four weeks of the season. In that time the Vikings were forced to play home games at Detroit s Ford Field and the University of Minnesota s TCF Bank Stadium following the roof collapse at Mall of America Field at the Metrodome in early December. Following the chaotic two weeks, the team experienced a two-day delay of a Sunday Night Football game at Philadelphia, playing a Tuesday night game instead and turning a routine road trip into a three-night extended stay. The Vikings 2010 defense ended the season ranked #8 in the NFL, the third consecutive season the Vikings ranked in the top 10 in total defense for the first time since The unit scored touchdowns on turnovers in the final two games of the season on a fumble return and an interception return. Vikings DE Jared Allen led the team with 11.0 sacks and anchored a defensive line that allowed only 10 rushing TDs. Fellow defensive lineman DT Kevin Williams notched his sixth career Pro Bowl appearance, while LB Chad Greenway led the team for the second straight year with 149 tackles. Offensively, the Vikings were stifled by injuries and started three quarterbacks during the season. RB Adrian Peterson continued to excel, gaining 1,298 yards on the ground and scoring 12 rushing TDs. His 1,298 yards rank as the 5th-highest total in team history, giving Peterson four of the top five yardage totals in Vikings annals. Peterson s 12 rushing TDs were tied as the 4th-most in the NFL, and his 52 career rushing TDs are now tied for the most in Vikings history. Peterson was honored with his fourth straight Pro Bowl appearance. Prior to being named Interim Head Coach, Frazier served as the Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator for the team beginning in He played a key role in the team s consecutive NFC North titles and the most wins in the NFC over the 2008 and 2009 seasons (22). Frazier s defensive units have ranked in the top 10 in each of the last three seasons (#6 in 2008, #6 in 2009, #8 in 2010) while notching 162 sacks from , the 5th-most of any NFL team during that time. Under Frazier, the Vikings defense allowed the 2nd-fewest rushing yards per game (85.1 avg.) and the 9th-fewest points per game (20.4 avg.) in the NFL over the last four years. With the unique perspective of a Super Bowl winner as a player and a coach, Frazier has a proven track record of success. His first title came as a starting cornerback with the 1985 Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XX and he later won Super Bowl XLI as a defensive backs coach with the Indianapolis Colts. In his 12 seasons as an NFL coach, and with 11 years of collegiate experience prior to that, Frazier has suffered a losing season only twice - his first year with Philadelphia in 1999 and the Vikings 2010 season. He has coached on seven playoff teams in his 12 NFL seasons and has been a part of six division championships. Frazier has also helped his players achieve at a high level and has now had four players earn NFC Defensive of the Week honors in the past four seasons. He has coached five players to 10 Pro Bowl appearances since joining the Vikings Season In 2009, the Vikings used a dynamic front line to continue their tradition of stopping the run and putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. The unit ranked #2 in the NFL against the run after leading the league for the previous three seasons. The Vikings tied for the NFL lead by allowing only five rushing touchdowns, and the team s NFL-best 48 sacks were the 5th-most in team history. DE Jared Allen led the way with 14.5 sacks and was recognized - along with fellow defensive lineman DT Kevin Williams - as an Associated Press First Team All-Pro. Allen, Williams and CB Antoine Winfield were all named to the 2010 Pro Bowl Season The previous year, Frazier s unit ranked #6 in overall defense and #1 against the run, making the Vikings the first squad since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger to lead the league in rushing defense for three consecutive seasons ( ). The team s #6 rank in total defense was the highest since the 1994 seasons and was a 14-position swing from the #20 ranking in The dominant defensive line also showed prowess as pass rushers, with Allen tying for 5th in the NFL with 14.5 sacks and the team total of 45 sacks ranking 4th. The Vikings ranked 3rd in the NFL by allowing only a 33.5% conversion rate on third downs and were 5th in the NFL by allowing just 15.8 offensive points per game. The 2008 squad featured four Pro Bowl players, including three defensive linemen with Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and DT Pat Williams. CB Antoine Winfield also earned his first trip to the all-star game Season In his debut season with the Vikings in 07, Frazier helped the Vikings maintain their dominance against the run as they posted the #1 rush defense in the NFL for the second straight year, allowing a mere 3.1 yards per carry. The unit gave up just 74.1 yards per game on the ground and allowed only one opposing running back to break the 100-yard mark. Frazier s defense was opportunistic, scoring on six interception returns to tie a Vikings record and adding a pair of TDs on fumble recoveries. The Vikings six scores by interception returns ranked as the 5th-most in NFL history. The team scored on three INTs in a key road game against the N.Y. Giants to set a team record against the eventual Super Bowl XLII champions. The Vikings defense responded to new faces and new positions with impressive performances in THe team was led in tackles by E.J. Henderson s careerhigh 155 tackles in his first season playing middle linebacker since Henderson added career-bests in sacks (4.5) and tackles for a loss (14). The Vikings linebacking crew entered 2007 with only Ben Leber playing his same position from the previous year. One of the most impressive individual performances came from 2nd-year LB Chad Greenway, who missed his 2006 rookie season with a knee injury but came back in 07 to rank 2nd on the team with 130 tackles, lead the NFL with four fumble recoveries and have a pair of interceptions, including one that he returned for his first career TD.

4 FROM THE HEAD COACH MONDAY, NOVEMBER, Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier I m going to give you an injury update. Jasper Brinkley had a little AC sprain. He ended up finishing the game but he ll be a little sore when we get back on Wednesday. Phil Loadholt had a little knee inflammation, should be fine for the game. Adrian [Peterson] had a shoulder strain during the course of the game so we ll have to monitor his progress over the course of the week. Shouldn t be a problem as far as getting ready for the ball game. Both Kyle [Rudolph] and Harrison [Smith] are still being evaluated for concussion syndromes. They have to go through the procedure regarding that. No real update regarding Percy [Harvin]. We ll learn more as he goes through some of the things that (Head Athletic Trainer) Eric Sugarman and the rest of our training staff take him through, but no updates regarding Percy. Other than that, came out pretty healthy. We didn t play good football. To go on the road, there are certain things you have to be able to do. One of the things that we talked about emphasizing during the week was not turning the ball over. They ended up getting 15 points off of turnovers in the first half, which was a problem for us. We really struggled with third downs, being able to convert third downs and maintain possession of the ball and stay on the field. In turn, on defense, we struggled as well, in particularly in the first half, with being able to get off the field on third down. You combine that with what we did in the red zone on offense when we had a couple opportunities in the red zone. One time we come up with a field goal after a turnover, the next time we come back we re in the red zone again, we get a field goal blocked, which could have been big for us. They get turnovers and they end up scoring. We really didn t do a lot of things we talked about that we had to do in order to win against a good team on the road and the result of it is we walk off the field really disappointed in our performance and the way we played. We know we have to play better all the way across the board. We have to do a better job from a game plan standpoint in putting our players in a better position to make plays. When you have an opportunity to make plays, you still have to make plays. The number of dropped passes we had yesterday is really unacceptable in our League. It s hard to continue drives when you don t catch the football. That s part of what you have to be able to do as a wide receiver in our League. The drops were not good, they hurt our continuity and our ability to be able to move the football. We have a lot of work to do, a lot to get done. I have a lot to get done to get our team back refocused on the task at hand, this next ball game. We have some work to do. Q: What can you learn from the turnovers? A: You take a look at the ones that we had and it really wasn t anything they did. They re just an opportunistic football team. The two that Adrian [Peterson] had, one was a non-contact fumble. The other one, I think a guy was tackling him and the ball came out. The interception, we got a guy that s there, we overthrow the ball. So credit to them, but also the fact that we didn t execute when we had chances to execute in those situations. We didn t do what we needed to do to protect the football. Q: What happened on Adrian Peterson s first fumble? A: I don t think he was too deep, it s just that his elbow or arm got hit and the ball came out. It was similar to what happened with their running back on the first play, arm got hit and the ball came out. We have to find a way to, especially there on the road, protect the football. Q: Is your defense playing as physical as they did earlier on this season? A: You look at the success some teams have had running the ball and usually if people can run the ball on you, maybe you re not as physical as you were before. I think we re still a physical defense, we re just not making some of the plays we were making earlier in the season. We have to get back to making some of those game-changing plays. I think we re still a physical group, we re just not making some of the plays you need to make. Q: Is there something you can account for on the dropped passes? A: I can t recall us having that many drops in a ball game at so many different positions. We re going to go back and look at some things fundamentally we ll work on this week. It s hard to put together some drives when you re killing yourself with drops. It s hard to overcome for us as a team. We ll go back and do some drills and do some different things to try to help our guys hold on to the football. Q: How much do those deflate you emotionally? A: When your teammates see those opportunities disappear, it affects the entire team. It affects the guys on the field, affects the guys on the sideline. They see the opportunities and then they disappear. It has an effect. Q: With all the third downs that the Bears converted, what kind of toll does that take when it s not a major gashing, just little things here and there? A: You hate for a team to be able to possess the ball as long as they did in that drive with third-and-2, third-and-1, so many short-yardage situations for an offense. You have to find a way to make a play along the way to get off the field and we didn t and it hurt us, obviously, in that second quarter when they put together that drive. But still, there were other opportunities during the course of the game where you have an opportunity to get off the field and we just were not very successful in doing that, particularly in the first half. It wears on you, but as a professional, you have to be able to overcome it. You have to get ready for the next series. If it results in a touchdown, you want to limit it to a field goal, but it resulted in a touchdown yesterday. Q: Did their blocked field goal lift them up? It seemed like they dominated from that point. A: It was a big point in the ball game. That was a big play. It was a chance for us to get it to 10-6 or tie it up at 10 all and we came away with nothing. It was an equivalent to a turnover for the emotion that it creates for the opposing team. It was a big part of the game and you hate to see it happen. Q: The team seemed to embrace the importance of this game last week. Why didn t that translate on Sunday? A: We had had some chances. You don t want to start the game off with a sack, for sure. Then our defense goes out and forces a turnover right away, first play of the game. That lifts your spirits. Now, you want to finish with a touchdown. You re on the road, it s a chance for us to do what we talked about, quiet the crowd down early and we didn t do that. From a defensive standpoint, that s a victory if they hold you to a field goal when they re starting at plus-28 or plus-27. Then we come right back after our defense stops them again, and then we turn the ball over, which is what they feed off of. That s where there energy derives from. We did the opposite of what we should have done to start that game. Our energy level and our focus was where it needed to be, but you can t turn the ball over and you have to capitalize on red zone opportunities with touchdowns on the road. We ve seen this happen early in the season and it happened against yesterday and it s hurt us, it s hurt us on the road. We re going on the road again this week so we have to do something different.

5 FROM THE HEAD COACH Q: You have a similar situation with a division opponent on the road. What do you see that didn t go right against the Bears that you would like to fix going into Green Bay? A: They re two different teams. Although they are both in our division, their style of play is completely different than the other. It s really more about our team than the Green Bay Packers. We have to get some things fixed within our team and what we have to get done in order to play better and this is a very good opponent, a different opponent. There are some things that we have to look at to get fixed internally so we can go out and play better in this next ball game. Q: Outside of the interception, how did you evaluate Christian Ponder s play? A: I thought he did some good things at times. You know you want to be consistently good all the way through the ball game. He had some good moments. He had some moments, I m sure when you get a chance to talk with him he ll tell you he wishes he could have done differently. For us, it s important that we get consistent good play from the quarterback position. Yesterday, we were a little bit inconsistent and it hurt us at times. Q: Christian s first throw to Kyle Rudolph over the middle got tipped. Was he overcompensating when he was throwing high later on? A: He had a couple different reads there. He chose Kyle as an option and elevated the throw a little bit and we weren t able to connect. It wasn t a bad read. We did have a couple of options on that play, but that was the choice that he made and then it was a matter of Can we connect? Q: When Brandon Fusco struggles, what do you notice is wrong with him? A: More the footwork and sometimes getting top-heavy, leaning a little bit too much one way or another and just losing some of his fundamentals as an offensive guard, some things that, technically, he ll get off on at times and then it creates problems for our offense, whether it s the run game or the pass game. When he s on, he s a very good player but there are moments where he is just a little off from a fundamental standpoint. Q: Have you talked to Adrian about when he arrived at the stadium yesterday and is that an isolated thing or has that been a repeated issue? A: We talked and it has not been something that has come up in the past, but we definitely have talked. Q: How big or small of a deal is that? A: Any time one of your leaders is not where he is supposed to be, it s not good. I talk to our team all the time about being where you re supposed to be and being where you re supposed to be on time. It s a big deal. Q: Did he have an explanation? A: The conversation itself we ll keep between he and I but we have talked about it and hopefully it will never happen again. Can t see why it would. Hopefully it never happens again. Q: When did you get in touch with him and know where he was and how he was getting there? A: I knew when we left. He s Adrian Peterson, so I know if he s on or not on. Q: Did you talk to him on the phone at all when you were on the bus? A: No. Q: What was your assessment of the defensive line and the pass rush yesterday? A: We could have done better but some of the way the game went, we couldn t get them into the pure drop-back situations. Lot of bootlegs, short passing game, I think their longest pass, they had one long pass, I think it was like 17 yards, maybe 20 yards, lot of five and six-yard passes and trying to run after the catch. We didn t get them into the type of game we needed to take advantage of what we thought was an opportunity for our defensive line. A lot of factors involved in that over the course of the game but they did a good job. They had a good plan and we weren t able to take advantage of something we thought we could. Q: It looked like they had a lot of five-man protections early in the game. Did they send more guys out on patterns than you were expecting? A: No, they started the game off chipping with the tight end and with the back, doing what we thought they would do early on but the style of passing game was different than what they had used the week before or the week before that. They really shortened some things down, which was smart. They did the right things to do and there is a way to combat that and you need to maintain possession of the ball, you need to put some points on the board and make them throw the ball down the field and then we have to be very, very good against the run, but we got into too many third-and-shorts. That s to the offense s advantage. We have to do better on first and second down and if we do get into third-and-short, we have to win our share of them. We didn t win our share of them yesterday. Q: Was Adrian missing the bus a distraction to the team? A: I don t know. I think everybody is pretty focused on their job and what they had to do. I m not even sure how many guys really knew that he wasn t on the bus. I m not sure. I think our guys were focused on their jobs and what they had to do. Q: Is there anything you can point to with breakdowns on third-down defense? A: No one particular thing. I know one thing, we have to get people in more third-and-longs. The third-and-shorts, you feel like if you can win 50 percent of those, you re doing pretty good, so you have to get into more third-and-seven to 10s, third-and-10-plus. We re not doing that right now. When we have been able to do that, our percentage is very good, but the third-and-two to sixes, we re not very good right now. Q: Are Jerome Simpson s drops due to lack of concentration or does he let one drop lead to another? A: Drops are a little bit of a concentration issue and if you re concentration is not on the next play, if you re thinking about the previous play, it can affect the next play, so you really want to concentrate on this particular play. What to attribute the drops to? I don t know. I don t know if I could say it s him thinking about what happened before or what, but I know that he can catch the football. He s shown he can catch the football on a consistent basis and he s got to do that. We really wanted him to make some plays for us yesterday and the drops really, really affected us. Q: Based on what the official said, it sounds like he got buzzed twice on the Mistral Raymond fumble return for a touchdown. There were two and a half minutes that went by between those. Are you going to look for clarification from the League on that? A: I m sure the League will talk to us about it and explain the whole process and the procedure. They always do.

6 VIKINGS-PACKERS GAME INFORMATION MCCARTHY LEADS THE PACK NFL Head Coach: 7th Year Overall NFL Experience: 20th Year Coaching Experience: 26th Year Overall NFL Record: Regular Season: Postseason: 5-3 Record with GB: Record vs. MIN: 10-6 College: Baker University ( 87) When Mike McCarthy was named head coach of the Green Bay Packers in January 2006, he said the goal for the franchise would be to win a Super Bowl, and that would never change. In 2010, McCarthy led the Packers back to the pinnacle of the sport, joining Vince Lombardi and Mike Holmgren as the only coaches in team history to lead the Packers to a Super Bowl title, with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. The path to that world championship was not an easy one as McCarthy joined Pittsburgh s Bill Cowher (2005) as the only Super Bowl-winning coaches to lead their respective teams to three road victories as the No. 6 seed in the playoffs en route to a title. Since taking over as head coach in 06, McCarthy has a overall record (.654), including a 5-3 mark (.625) in the postseason. His regularseason winning percentage ranks third among current NFL head coaches (min. 50 games). The past three seasons under McCarthy marked one of the most successful stretches in team history as Green Bay posted a record (.741), including the playoffs. The 40 victories from ranked No. 2 in the NFL behind only New Orleans (41), and were the most by the Packers over a three-year span since (42). The Packers entered the 2011 season with high expectations and the goal of becoming the NFL s first repeat champion since While the team ultimately fell short of that goal, McCarthy led Green Bay to a franchisebest 15 regular-season wins, becoming just the sixth team in NFL history to reach that mark in the regular season. The Packers began the 11 campaign reeling off 13 consecutive wins, easily eclipsing the previous franchise record of 10-0 starts in 1929 and Dating back to Week 16 of the 2010 season, and including the playoffs, Green Bay won 19 consecutive games before suffering its lone regularseason defeat at Kansas City in Week 15. Covering a span of 364 days, the 19-game winning streak was the longest in franchise history and was the second-longest winning streak in NFL history behind only the New England Patriots (21 games). Perhaps most impressively, the Packers never trailed in the fourth quarter during their streak. The Packers 2011 regular-season success culminated with their second NFC North title under McCarthy and first since Green Bay s 6-0 mark in the division marked the first time in team history that the Packers posted an undefeated record in their division since the NFL went to the divisional format in Green Bay also became the first team since the 1987 Chicago Bears to sweep the NFC North/Central. With the Packers playoff appearance in 2011, they became the only team in the NFC to qualify for the playoffs in four of the past five seasons. Additionally, Green Bay earned the NFC s No. 1 seed for the first time since 1996 and finished with a perfect 8-0 record at Lambeau Field for the first time since McCarthy was runner-up in Coach of the Year voting by The Associated Press and saw seven of his players earn Pro Bowl nods following the 2011 campaign, the most the Packers had voted to the all-star game since McCarthy guided the Packers to a 10-6 campaign in 2010, highlighted by seven wins in the final 10 games. What made the Packers championship season even more impressive was the adversity the team faced due to injuries. Green Bay finished the year with 15 players on injured reserve, and eight of them had started at least one game during the season. Six starters from the opening-day depth chart sustained season-ending injuries in the first seven games. The Packers became just the third 10-6 team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl, and their six losses on the season came by a combined 20 points. Green Bay never lost a game by more than four points, but even more impressive, it never trailed by more than seven points at any point in a game all season. The Packers became the first team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to never trail by more than seven points at any point during the regular season, and became the first championship-winning franchise to do so since the 1942 Washington Redskins. It was a shining example of the steady, consistent approach that McCarthy has taken in leading the Packers throughout his tenure, one that culminated with the organization s fourth Super Bowl title and 13th world championship in MCCARTHY S COACHING BACKGROUND Coach 2006-Present...

9 2012 COACHING STAFF BILL MUSGRAVE Offensive Coordinator MIKE PRIEFER Special Teams Coordinator Bill Musgrave enters his 2nd season as Offensive Coordinator of the Vikings in 2012 and 20th NFL campaign overall as both a player and coach. The 2011 Vikings offense tallied 75 rushes of 10+ yards, keeping defenses off balance through creative personnel packages. WR Percy Harvin s role in the offense was greatly enhanced as the 3rd-year player set a career-high with 87 receptions, the 6th-most in the NFL for the season and 4thmost among WRs.

In Williams decade working with the Colts DBs, the club ranked in the top 6 in NFL passing defense 5 times and finished out of the top 15 only once.

From the Colts allowed 20+ TD passes only 2 times and had 10+ INTs each year.
