MANKATO -- Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss reminded the Vikings' refurbished defense who the big dogs really are on this team.
Yes, the pass coverage is better than it was last season. No question. But when Moss is one-on-one, and Culpepper has time to throw, better isn't quite good enough.
Even on Day 3 of training camp, Culpepper-to-Moss looked crisp. Especially during Monday's highlight play of the day, a 60-yard touchdown pass during the morning team drills.
The first-team defense blitzed, leaving cornerback Denard Walker one-on-one against Moss. Walker was signed as a free agent from Denver to be the team's top cover corner.
But he didn't have a chance on this particular play. Not when the first-team offensive line stuffed the blitz dead in its tracks.
