GRRRRR, Mauti and Hodges were both very special at Penn State I was at lot of thouse game where they both made a huge impact, i know college may not translate to professional but I really would like to see Mauti and Hodges atleast get a chance at lb.dead_poet wrote:
It's a long season and we may very well be 2-8 soon, at that point we'll see a lot of the rookie / young guys getting a shot at starting.justinkendle wrote: GRRRRR, Mauti and Hodges were both very special at Penn State I was at lot of thouse game where they both made a huge impact, i know college may not translate to professional but I really would like to see Mauti and Hodges atleast get a chance at lb.
That's the way some teams would do it when the season is over, but don't expect to see it from the Vikings and the current coaching staff. They'll be running Adrian Peterson 25 times in week 17 after being mathematically eliminated in week 12.mondry wrote:It's a long season and we may very well be 2-8 soon, at that point we'll see a lot of the rookie / young guys getting a shot at starting.
Super weird. WR is the last position we need to beef up on the active roster. You must be right about protecting him. Is Felder being on the IR a year-long deal? Anyway we can get him back on the field this season? He showed some promise this pre-season.80 PurplePride 84 wrote: Interesting.
I thought they would promote Steeples to add CB depth.
I take this to mean Smith had some active roster opportunities out there and the Vikes didn't wanna lose him.
Yep. Felder can't be activated. He's done for the year.Texas Vike wrote: Super weird. WR is the last position we need to beef up on the active roster. You must be right about protecting him.

Frazier said Greg Childs is making "positive progress." Hopes to get him on the field soon. Decision will have to be made Week 10 or 11.
Couldn't they waive him (injured) with an injury settlement? They'd expose him on the waiver wire, but if he clears then they could resign him, couldn't they? I'm not totally clear about the rules, and, of course, the Vikings may want to protect him rather than take that chance.dead_poet wrote:Yep. Felder can't be activated. He's done for the year.
Just in time for DOVE SEASON down in ole México!Eli wrote:On Thursday LB Audie Cole was waived to make room to sign OT Kevin Murphy from the practice squad. Murphy was active for Thursday's game against the Redskins.
Cole cleared waivers on Friday. The Vikings currently have two open slots on the practice squad.
That comment made me laugh and now I feel a little ashamed.Texas Vike wrote:Just in time for DOVE SEASON down in ole México!
Ashamed because of the coming aviary onslaught down on the plains of Tamaulipas, Mexico? or ashamed because poor Audie is out of a job? I'm guessing it's the former… and I agree. It's one thing to hunt respectfully (i.e. using all parts possible of an animal you have taken from the Earth) and another thing entirely to massively slaughter creatures just because you find it entertaining. That kind of thinking troubles me.Mothman wrote: That comment made me laugh and now I feel a little ashamed.
