If you could play for the Vikings..........

What position would you play and why?

I know many of you would like to be the cheerleader coach but I'm talking about the actual team. :wink:

Defense: I'm only 5'4", 115 so I'm definitely not built for any position on the team except maybe the kicker or a cute little Leprachan mascot. :wink: Lineman is definitely out. They'd have to tape another person to me to come even close to filling that position.

I think I'd be a linebacker. I think most LBs are a little insane and I'd love to be let loose with a straight line to the QB. It just looks like it's a lot of fun.

Offensively, I think I'd want to be a WR. I don't think I have the patience to be a QB. I'd probably start a war with the player who sacked me, getting up after the play and starting a fight. I get mad very rarely but when I do, I see red.

And I think special teams would be fun. I wouldn't want to be the returner because I'd have too much fun blocking.

Wide Receiver. I used to be really fast, and I was actually good at catching the football, even one-handed. I'm only 5'8", so not big enough for much else.

Safety. Better to dish out the punishment than take it.

No glamor but Long snapper sounds like a good job too. You're in there maybe 10 snaps a game? I'm betting these guys can have really long careers and at the end you won't hobbling around with old football injuries. 8)

Well, I'm only 5'7, so my choices would be limited. But I was always drawn to the defensive side of the ball. When we played intermural football in high school, I always played DB. Was able to keep the QB from throwing to my receiver, cuz I covered 'em like a glove, even though I wasn't that speedy. So, I suppose that's what I'd play.

On the offensive side, I don't know.

I played center and middle linebacker when I was younger.

I played flanker and safety when I was older.

The only thing I could play for the Vikings is coach.

FB/TE or OLB. Basically what I played in junior high & high school. Playing the H-Back position like Chris Cooley does for the Redskins would be cool, do a little of everything.

I'm 6' and stocky, built like a brick ####-house, but still fast and agile with a good sense of balance. Well, WAS fast and agile with a good sense of balance. Things tend to change after a decade. 8)

I mentioned that I'd like to play WR but I have the same condition as
Berrian - hamtrings that are so tight, I have to stretch them daily, and when you pull one. Ouch.

Or maybe I'd be a coach, yelling at Chilly when he goes conservative too early in the game. Heh, I'd volunteer for cheerleader but I've never been able to do splits because of my hammies. I swear, both Berrian and I were born with hamstrings 2-3 inches too short on both sides. LOL
