Sept. 9-13 — Kickoff 2010 Weekend
A Christian website devoted to Faith, Jesus Christ and Minnesota Vikings Football. Current Minnesota Vikings news from CNNSI, Star Tribune, The Sporting News, CBS Sportsline, KFFL, KFAN, KSTP, and many others. Updated regularly!
The Vikings had one of the NFL's premier third-down running backs in Chester
Taylor last season.
Greg Camarillo has proven to be a good guy to have around when an offense is
in a state of flux and/or panic a week before the season opener.
Is it just me, or does each week that passes seem like a decade in time.
Look back just to the beginning of training camp & it seems like it's taken
forever just to get to this day. Are we caught amidst a time warp?
This time of year, even established veterans might perspire a little. The
NFL roster reduction from 75 to 53 players is two days away, and no equation
seems easy for the Vikings after numerous injuries.
Rhys Lloyd was hired with one job to do – kick it deep. So far, what he
calls a flaw in his approach could cost him his job. He says the issue is
correctable, but it has to be corrected soon.
The Vikings placed WR Sidney Rice on the PUP list, but they had time to grab
replacements for him. The Packers may be even worse off in the PUP
department.
The Vikings won’t repeat as NFC North Champions for a third straight year if
the simulator that runs matchups 50,000 times is correct. According to
PredictionMachine.com, the Packers will win the NFC North and finish with
the second-best record in the NFL.
There was a buzz around the Twin Cities this spring when Florida quarterback
Tim Tebow was rumored to be headed to the Vikings in the NFL draft.
A week ago the Vikings were confident enough in their situation at
cornerback that they traded veteran Benny Sapp to the Miami Dolphins for
wide receiver Greg Camarillo.
The rookie cornerback had arthroscopic surgery after injuring his knee
against Seattle. He was vying for a starting job.
Sidney Rice was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list on
Tuesday, meaning the Vikings Pro Bowl wide receiver is officially out for
the first six weeks.
There has been a lot of speculation about what the Vikings will do with
their backup quarterback situation, particularly veteran Sage Rosenfels and
rookie Joe Webb.
A week after arthroscopic hip surgery, Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice has
been placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian expects to rebound from an unhealthy
2009 campaign that was the least productive of his seven NFL seasons, and
circumstances have aligned for the big-play receiver to do just that
notwithstanding last week's sloppy performance.
More than a few of you sent nasty notes last week after we discussed the
other side of the Minnesota Vikings' trade for receiver Greg Camarillo.
On the day we're discussing the ascendance of Brett Favre's replacement in
Green Bay, Sean of Iowa offers this concern about the order of Favre's
backups in Minnesota:
The Vikings haven’t made a final decision on whether or not to play their
starters in Thursday’s preseason finale, but John Sullivan won’t be among
them. Plus, Sidney Rice is officially out for at least six weeks, the first
roster cuts are in and traffic could be snarled Thursday.
Rookie cornerback Chris Cook will be out at least two weeks with a meniscus
tear, according to sources cited by the Star Tribune.
NFL teams have to trim their rosters to 75 players by 3 p.m. Central today,
but the big cuts don’t happen until Saturday.
When's the last time the Vikings needed to worry about a Lions' defender?
Can't think of one off the top of my head. But come Sept. 26, we may see one
they'll have to worry about for years to come.
The Vikings transferred Sidney Rice from the active/physically unable to
perform list Tuesday to the inactive/PUP, meaning the Pro Bowl wide receiver
will miss at least the first six weeks of the regular season.
Rookie Chris Cook is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks and
perhaps longer after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee Saturday in
the Vikings' preseason victory over Seattle, according to NFL sources.
One Vikings rookie returned to practice Tuesday while another remained
sidelined.
Nine days before facing the NFL's best offense is an unfortunate time to
lose a starting cornerback.
Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin expects to reclaim his starting position
this season, although when and how remain a mystery.
Percy Harvin isn't the only Viking who can run the ball, catch it and return
it. There's also running back-returner Darius Reynaud, a converted wide
receiver with Harvin-like ability to break open a game.
Sage Rosenfels has played well but can't seem to rise to No. 2 in his
coach's eyes.
The veteran quarterback needed a shot of lubricant in the joint after the
game.
Rhys Lloyd failed to meet his expectations and as a result might not be
meeting the team's expectations, either.
The Vikings don't have to trim their roster from 80 to 75 players until 3
p.m. Tuesday but they got a start by making one move Monday.
In regard to our roster ... the key question that needs to be asked is, "Is
it through the wall, or around it?"
