I think I remember. My head is still spinning due to the extreme stress and pressure brought on by the events of the past 5 days.

Got injured doing kick return duties for the Raiders in '02?

I got a small tidbit....I heard it was like: "Boy that RW was pretty good huh?"

If the Vikings continue with their insistance on getting Ogun.......you might see one of these guys suit up.....

I would bet on Mack.

BTW, this is not from my source...it's from Jim Mandich.

If we get either of these guys we will no doubt have the worse set of RB's in the league.Minor is solid and will be a pleasent suprise while Henry is a Mystery but to add them will not strike fear into the Amsterdam Admirals.This will spell Wanny's ousting.Depleted depth everywhere. :fire: :fire: :fire:

I assume this means you would prefer dealing Ogunleye for a current feature back?

 

[rafael]

Mack makes sense. They want a big short yardage back. I think Konrad can do it, but either way you need at least 1 more camp body. Mack was decent before his turf toe injury. Healthy, he is a decent option.

Forget it. The Viks not going to trade for Ogun. The vikes just signed former WWE Superstar Brock lesnar

I think there will be no Bennett, (Moe) Williams or Smith.

Damn why do you guys dont trust Travis. he is a heck of a back. We dont need a top back. And I think that we should give Edwards another shot as a backup. This guy has to be hungry as hell.
Never forget all we need is a TEAM. We need a TEAM. No lonesome Actors.

Maybe this whole Ricky case melted the players to something like a unit.

Lesnar is not expected to contribute until 2005, if then. He hasn't played football since high school.

Lesnar was signed as a Guard...they need a DE........

 

[BlitPhinFan]

"Brock Lesnar DT Rookie Minnesota" <=== Taken from the Vikings official website.

He was signed as a Defensive Tackle not a Guard. But they still need a DE, unless they plan on moving someone to there.

 

[ckparrothead]

I was pretty sure Lesnar was signed as a DE but I could be wrong. Anyway, no coincidence he signed in Minnesota. Pro Wrestling is HUGE there, probably more so than any other state in the US and I'm not just saying it because of Jesse Ventura. Minnesota I hear is only paying him $230k this year...so basically its $230k to put more fans' fannies in the seats.

I really just don't have a great feeling about Travis Minor. I think if they are trying to sign Terry Kirby though, its obviously as a 3rd down back, a role he really excelled in with Trestman in Oakland. If they are trying to sign Mack, its more of a goal-line thing I think, and then they'll use Minor as more of the 3rd down back...but at this point I'd probably trust Travis Minor with the bulk of carries before I trust Stacey Mack, who I hear has injury and drug problems.

What we need right now, are backs that can catch out of the backfield...because now that Ricky is not there to keep defenses honest, teams are going to blitz the fvck out of the OL and QBs until we can prove through screens, and RB dumpoffs, and hot reads that we can really hurt them in the passing game on blitzes.
