Before the opening kickoff against Minnesota, who was the official starting SS?

[TODD]

Was it Prioleau or was it Archuleta?

I distinctly remember someone (Williams?) saying after the game that Prioleau was the starter and that's why it was so hard losing him.

[OrangeSkin]

It was Prioleau.

[909997]

it was prioleau because he knew the plays

[H-O-G]

Prioleau was the starter.

Adam would come in on strictly run downs to play up close to the line on a blitz to stop the run.

[RDSKNfaithfull]

I know for a fact Prioleau was running all first team snaps during the pre game

[LoudMouth12thMan]

Prioleau was the starter.

Adam would come in on strictly run downs to play up close to the line on a blitz to stop the run.

Not entirely true b/c of Williams used-to-be-famed 3-2-6 look in which Arch would also line up as a backer or in one of the "6" spots.

Since nearly every member dismissed Prioleau's injury at the time, now do you see why it was such a blow? Hate to say I told you so. I remember sitting in the stands thinking, "that was bigger than anyone realizes". I even mentioned it on multiple threads that week after the Vikes loss. It was huge along with Springs myriad injury issues all season long.
