Playing time in Vikings' secondary is hard to come by
Vikings strong safety Robert Blanton gets warmed up prior to Minnesota's preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, Mo., Saturday, Aug. 23, 2014. (AP Photo/Reed Hoffmann)Robert Blanton doesn't want to talk about losing his starting job as the Vikings' strong safety.
After starting all 16 games last season and all five exhibition games this summer, Blanton was replaced in the lineup by Andrew Sendejo for the first two regular-season games.
"I've got to just continue to do my job and work to get better," Blanton said Wednesday.
Blanton played 20 snaps in the Sept. 14 opener at San Francisco, but he wasn't in for a single defensive play last Sunday against Detroit.
