WEEK 2 PLAYER OF THE GAME: Chad Greenway

Week 2 once again provided me with a tough choice as to who to pick as player of the game. Percy Harvin had another good game, showing that even though he looks small when he’s on the field next to guys like Favre, Peterson, Shiancoe, Loadholt, and McKinney, he plays like he’s one of the biggest ones.

I also could’ve given the nod to Bernard Berrian, who although didn’t make any of the long catches like he is known for, he did have six grabs during the game.

Or it could’ve went to Ray Edwards, who has really stepped up his game to match the level of his line-mates. Edwards had 7 tackles and a sack.

But I have to give the title of Player of the Game to Chad Greenway.

Greenway didn’t lead the team in tackles this game. In fact, he only had 3. But Greenway was all over the field disrupting plays. He had two interceptions, returned for a total of 49 yards. He also recovered a fumble. He was a constant presence for the defense all day long.

Greenway is turning into such a solid linebacker. If the rest of the NFL fans start to realize what Vikings fans already know, the Vikings should be sending TWO linebackers to their first Pro Bowl this year, and Chad Greenway showed on Sunday why he is one of those two guys.
