Well the Vikings additions do not seem significant but some help is on the way. Hey they won't be world beaters but they are making some small improvements,
TE Visanthe Schianco will not be resigned and TE Jimmy Kleinsasser said "the Hell with this" and retired. Can't blame him.. Vikes signed John Carlson TE from Seattle, coming off injury and also paves the way for second year player Kyle Rudolph. They will have a good one, two punch at Tight End. Hope this helps Ponder out.
Offensive Line will see some major changes.. Hutchinson and Herrerra are gone. Sounds like the Vikes are going to move last year left tackle Charlie Johnson to left guard as he was dismal at tackle. Center will still have over rated and worthless Jon Sullivan and right tackle will be Phil Loadholt who is a overweight talented player in a contract year.
Vikes just signed tackle Geoff Schwartz who can play multiple line positions and I bet he is the starting left tackle. Everyone in the world has the Vikes taking tackle Matt Kalil with the 3rd pick overall and if that happens Schwartz will be the right guard. But I call bullshit on the team taking the tackle.
Vikes added some no-names at half back and at fullback. Last year the team did not carry a true fullback and I assume they decided to because their goal line offense and short yardage offense was pathetic. They need a lead blocker and the dumb asses realize that, thankfully.
Defensive back situation gets a shot in the arm when CB Chris Cooke was acquitted for beating the piss and almost killing his girlfriend. Girlfriend realizes that if he is in jail, there is no pay day and recanted most of the allegations. Mystery to me how she was almost choked to death but he is not responsible. At any rate he will be starting.. They also get back Antoine Winfield who missed more than half of last season, with age and injury, I wish they would move him to dime CB or to safety. I would not be shocked if the Vikes draft CB Morris Claiborne out of LSU. If you watched the games last year, they let Tebow shred them and were sickening to watch.
LB.. Vikes will let third year man from South Carolina, Jasper Brinkley play the middle. This guy is fast, just question his toughness and mental awareness to play the position.
WR - Vikes have done nothing to improve at this position.
QB - Sage is back and maybe this means Joe Webb will see some action at WR.
Draft Needs are glaring and this team needs O Line Help, Defensive Backs, Wide Receiver, and Linebacker depth.
Only areas they are set at are Defensive Line, TE, and QB.
Injury News.
As mentioned earlier Winfield should be ready, hope they move him to safety. AP just maybe ready by opening day but by the second month is a more reasonable goal and RB Toby Gehrhart should be ready to go. Man did he improve last year. Good to see after I ripped him.
I know there are about 10 Viking fans on the Site, so I will post my opinions and draft results in thsis thread, just wanted to talk football, going through withdrawals.
