    Lost in the Vikings’ rough start has been the emergence of Brian Robison as a solid starter at left end. The Vikings chose not to try to re-sign Ray Edwards in the offseason because of their confidence in Robison, who had been more of a situational pass rusher up until this year. So far, they believe Robison is giving them better edge pressure than Edwards. Robison isn’t as strong as Edwards, but he is a better athlete. He has benefited from attention paid to Jared Allen, and should be even more effective when Kevin Williams returns from suspension today.
