I don't take him to seriously, but he is the only one that answers my tweets! lol

One day, I will get a response from Alyssa Miliano......

Supposedly Joe Webb is absolutely killing it at mini-camp, that seems to be the only story that is worth writing about to most people.

Both, but majority at quarterback.

I cant wait to see him in some preseason action.

[marshallb]

Hopefully Webb can turn into what Jackson was supposed to be. Hell, maybe TJack can play WR and do what Webb was originally planned to do.

Is it football season yet?

No. :( :( :(

It would be a real dream to have Moss back.

[General Zod]

Looks like we claimed Marko Mitchell off waivers. I actually liked this guy a lot out of Nevada when the skins drafted him. But then again, being waived by the Lions kinda says something. lol

Who knows, maybe he'll stick on special teams?

[vikes_28]

Hi guys. We are boring.

[prock]

I just noticed this too. There is like one post every few days on the Vikings boards. Compared to our SWDC brethren, we are really ******.

Not much to talk about really. I think we are all sick of talking or thinking about Favre and if he will or will not come back. Although everything looks like he is coming back. Sadly nothing to talk about really until there is news for anything or training camp.

[prock]

Jared Allen is sexy.

[General Zod]

No ones excited about Marko Mitchell? lol

Yeah I try to post to tidbits just to keep things going. Just isnt much going on. Come on pre season.

[vikes_28]

Pre-Season should be interesting. I'd like to see Joe Webb push Tavaris Jackson out.

[yo123]

Joe Webb completed less than 60 percent of his passes in Conference USA, I seriously doubt he's better than Tarvaris. We should be playing him at receiver.

if any QB is going to get pushed out it'd be Sage...Tavaris gets a lot of hate from Vikings fans, and for the most part it's deserved, but in his limited time last year he showed a more fundamentally sound game than what has been seen in the past.

I see him being a potential Josh Cribbs-type as a returner, but hope I'm wrong. I think both were former QBs in college and have good size and balance....

[FuzzyGopher]

More than likely Childress will fall in love with Webb like he has with Jackson. Then he will refuse to draft a QB and go all in with him and fail miserably.

[marshallb]

How about we discuss some position battles then. Let's start with CB. CB has been a week spot in the recent past, but while it isn't a real strong spot, it is very deep.
We currently have the following CBs on our roster:
Antoine Winfield, Cedric Griffin, Chris Cook, Lito Sheppard, Benny Sapp, Asher Allen, Marcus Sherels, and DeAndre Wright

If I remember right we carried 5 CBs last season: Winfield, Griffin, Sapp, Allen, and Karl Paymah(ugh). I definitely see us carrying 6 (only 5 active each week) with Griffin recovering from the ACL injury and Winfield's injuries recently. Therefore I think we will keep the 6 obvious ones(the first 6 above), but the real questions become who will start for Cedric if he misses some time and who will be the nickel and dime backs when he gets back as well as before he gets back.

[prock]

Antoine will start. Griff will start if he can. Allen and Sapp will battle for the dime with Lito at the nickel. I bet they roster Cook as a safety, but just give him a few reps at corner.

[djp]

If our offensive line play doesn't improve or get back to the level it was to start last season, we are going to have a helluva time with the schedule we have. Hutch being healthy again will help, but McKinnie is on his last legs with me. He was **** for most of last season despite being one of the most talented players in the league. Put down the Goose and start putting work in. Now. This team's too good for that.

Also, EJ being back (hopefully) should give us a little better coverage down the seam. We can all agree that coverage was not Jasper Brinkley's strength.

[yo123]

I'm holding out some hope for McKinnie because he did have stretches where he was dominant last year as well, they were just pretty few and far between and when he was bad he was REALLY bad (Peppers,ugh). If he can just be above average that would be big.

EJ will help with coverage some but I've never thought he was a great cover guy either, as good as they are against the run I really haven't ever been impressed with any of our LB's cover skills to be honest.
