Harvin Climbing The Single-Season WR Rushing Chart
Posted by on November 29, 2011 – 10:35 amPercy Harvin continues to be the Vikings most dynamic weapon on a week-to-week basis. His ability to produce as a pass-catcher and a kick returner is well-chronicled, but we should also not forget that Harvin can contribute as a runner as well.
On Sunday against the Falcons, Harvin continued to climb the WR rushing charts. For the season, Harvin has 33 attempts for 235 yards, which places him in 4th place all-time among WRs for rushing yards in a single season. Harvin is just 64 yards behind Brad Smith for 3rd place all-time and he’s 146 yards away from matching Joshua Cribbs’ 2009 effort for 2nd place all-time. San Diego’s Lionel James holds the NFL single-season record for rushing yards by a WR with 516 in 1985.
Harvin’s touches and production have increased each week since the Vikings hosted the Green Bay Packers on October 23 (Christian Ponder’s first career start). Last Sunday against the Falcons was no exception. Harvin had 210 yards and 2 TDs on 14 touches, which raises his season totals to 1,187 combined yards on 95 touches (averages out to 12.5 yards per touch).
Taking kickoffs out of the equation, here are Harvin’s touches-yards-TD totals over the past 5 games: 4-23-0; 8-77-1; 9-70-0; 11-94-1; 13-106-1.
Being productive in a variety of ways is the strongpoint of Harvin’s skill set. In 2009 as a rookie, Harvin established the Vikings record for the most combined yards with 2,081 (1,156 kickoff returns, 790 receiving, 135 rushing). Then in 2010, Harvin finished 2nd in the NFC and 5th in the NFL with 1,908 combined net yards.
Whether on ground or in the air, Harvin is a dynamic playmaker and it’s a treat to watch him every Sunday.

What we need to do more than anything else (and I am SO SURE about this) is
GET SOME TALENT AT OFFENSIVE LINE, DEFENSIVE BACK, AND NOW WIDE RECEIVER!!!
How do we go about it? I say hire a GENERAL MANAGER to clean up the mess left by the current FRONT OFFICE administration since 2003.
Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians WILL NOT GET IT DONE.
I don’t believe in co-coaches. Someone has to be in charge of any organization. Right now, that is in question with the MN VIKINGS.

GB fans have to be, with exception of the Raiders, the most crass, debased, crude examples of the human condition, it’s amazing that such a degenerate group has a winning team to crow over. It’s too bad GB doesn’t have a more high caliber, tactful, and intellectual following. People that don’t know how to talk about football without resorting to third grade slang and profanities. Even the writers for GB are of the same caliber.

Wasn’t Harvin a running back at Florida ?

He was used as a running back at times..

And Joe Webb was a WR… But Chilly wanted to make him a QB so now he sits… His talent is being wasted while the Vikings sit idly by and lose games cause we can’t stretch the field. Go figure

@TheRealDon,
The question for our FINE FEATHERED FRIENDS has to be “do I feel lucky?”
Reason being that they are depending on l u c k to get the players we need. Someone said on here that “WE NEED TO MAKE OUR OWN L U C K.”
Complaining about the coaches has been tried in the recent past. It hasn’t worked. WE NEED TO MAKE OUR OWN L U C K!!!
HIRE A GENERAL MANAGER
DENNIS GREEN HAS TO BE A TOP CANDIDATE.
BILL C O W H E R, TONY DUNGY, JIM MARSHALL, RON YARY,
M I C K TINGELHOFF, CARL E L L E R, ETC. ARE CANDIDATES FOR
general manager!!!
By Frederick Jones on Nov 29, 2011 | Reply
@Vegas Vike,
You are correct.
Joe Webb was a WR at UAB until he won the starting QB job as a junior. He passed and ran for over 1000 yards each, for the next two seasons. (He was also a QB as a freshman, and in high school.)
He is still a RAW prospect at any position, but he is most experienced at
QUARTERBACK.
By Frederick Jones on Nov 29, 2011 | Reply
I would like to see Joe Webb play quarterback in some of the upcoming games.
I do think Ponder is a great candidate as well.

I’m not sure hiring a new head coach sends a good message. It’s not Frazier’s fault alone.

We were not lucky with the drafts of 2010, or 2011.
Nor was drafting only 2 offensive linemen in the last 5 years real intelligent!

I think the GM has done a decent job of bringing in talent except for Cook,and he’s just a ganster a thug.The thing is if you don’t shore up your line play your gunna get beat week in week out,the fact we have a playmaker just sitting on the bench in Webb it just stupid the O coor. was supposed to utilize the players talents so why is he sitting on the bench.Put him in the backfield pitch it to him and let him throw deep or run it, duh.The playcalling is vanilla,Harvin and A.P. in the same backfield or Toby and A.P. get a clue. I’m not a coach but I can figure out several diff. formations to get some separation for the playmakers and apparently some quick plays cus the O-line can’t hold anybody.

From Nfl network:
Front-office turnover
Minnesota has tried changing coaches, and certainly the team has fallen far and fast. But I’d be surprised if Leslie Frazier was fired after one full season. General manager Rick Spielman has been on the job for a long time, the roster has decayed over the years, and this team is clearly in rebuilding mode. A move there wouldn’t surprise decision-makers around the league.

i was at the game sunday it was a good game.. But the thing that still amazes me is how much percy harvin is not on the field. The vikings should treat percy harvin like santana moss hes in on almost every singe snap. When the redskins go to 3 or more recievers hes in the slot, if there 2 wide or less hes on the outside. He is our best player outside of adrain peterson on offense. I dont see the panthers taking out steve smith out alot, or the lions taking out calvin johnson. I jus dont understand, there out thinking there-selves.

put joe webb at safety. we dont have anything to lose and he could surprise some people. lord knows he’d like the playing time
By Jeff on Nov 30, 2011 | Reply
At this point in the season does it really matter what players we shift around? I am all for letting some of the younger guys get a chance but Webb at safety is a terrible idea and I do think that now would be a good time to get him back to WR. People need to stop being so critical of our coaching, play calling has been a little rough all season but a big part of our letdown is the players not executing

Also, Saying Ponder is a “joke” this early in his career is absurd. He’s a rookie, who has made some pretty amazing plays. Sure, he has some rookie mistakes, but that’s to be expected. He is unbelievable out of the pocket, and once we actually get a decent O-line, I think he’ll become a very good NFL quarterback.
