Injury-hit Gold Coast face a mammoth task against a Greater Western Sydney team Suns coach Rodney Eade believes are strong contenders to reach this years AFL grand final.The Suns will have 11 senior players unavailable for the visit by the high-flying Giants with defender Nick Malceski (knee) and midfielder Jesse Lonergan (shoulder) the latest Gold Coast players to be sidelined.In contrast the Giants head north sitting second on the ladder after winning six of their past seven matches, with a maiden finals campaign an inevitability.Theyre just about the complete package, Eade said of the Giants.Possibly tall defenders, if they got some injuries to key spots, might hurt them, but theyve got coverage in every other area of the ground.I wouldnt be surprised if theyre there on the last day.Clashes between the two expansion clubs inevitably draws comparison between where both teams are sitting.Eade however says the rivalry between the teams is largely a construction of the media and neither side is that worried about the other.The way the teams were set up its completely different, there were different rules, he said.They had access to more first round draft picks and its great for them.People compare the two, which is fine, were both start-up teams, but Im thrilled theyre going well.Ive got a lot of time for them and the way theyve gone about it.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The defense that was so dominant during Minnesotas 5-0 start has morphed into a rather ordinary unit.Opponents have since adjusted with quick passes and well-timed play calls to neutralize what has been a relentless rush, the turnovers havent come as often and the Vikings have been more susceptible to those confidence-sapping third-down conversions.Just as much of a factor in the recent rut, though, could be the seemingly illogical problem of players trying too hard to help stop the slide.When youre struggling and youve got a bunch of really good guys, guys that really care, guys tend to try to do a little too much, including myself, coach Mike Zimmer said.Instead of allowing guys to make plays, you try to make plays for them. We just need to settle down. We need to do what we do. Get back to being the Vikings defense again.Washingtons Kirk Cousins averaged around 2+ seconds to release the ball when he dropped back to pass last week, when the Vikings (5-4) lost their fourth straight game . Detroits Matthew Stafford and Chicagos Jay Cutler followed similar quick-throwing strategies in the games before that.Were going to have to adjust how we do some things with the pass rush, Zimmer said.The Vikings have only three sacks over the past four games. Not coincidentally, each of the past three opponents have converted exactly half of their third downs.If you look at the tape, theyre getting the ball out quick. Theyre running boots. Theyre running screens. Theyre doing all the things to slow us down in the rush, defensive end Everson Griffen saidd.ddddddddddddWe cant get frustrated. Weve just got to get out there and keep rushing. Sacks come in bunches. Do we want more sacks? Yeah, but Id rather have wins than sacks.Missed tackles have a problem, too, none more costly than in overtime against the Lions when cornerback Xavier Rhodes and safety Harrison Smith both whiffed during Golden Tates winning touchdown reception .The Arizona Cardinals (4-4-1) will bring plenty of challenges for the Vikings to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, with running back David Johnson chief among them.Still, its worth remembering that the Vikings defense, despite the lag of late, remains a daunting matchup for opponents, too. The Cardinals were raving this week about Zimmer and his scheme.Hes one of the best defensive play-callers in the game, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. Hes just got a wealth of knowledge. He does a great job of trying to break down opponents and trying to neutralize the things that they do well, and you couple that with an unbelievable amount of talent.After missing nickel cornerback Captain Munnerlyn against the Redskins because of an ankle injury, the Vikings should be back to full strength in the secondary.It definitely was a tough, tough situation for me to watch the game, Munnerlyn said. I kind of got mad here and there, probably kicked some boxes or something, punched a box here and there.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
