griffin and smoot both out

This sucks more than just for the next game.
I think we were looking to offload Smoot in the offseason, and this will lower his trade value.

Try Troy Williamson at nickle.

Why?
So he can take his eye of his man and let them catch the ball?

Smoot, Griffin headed for IR
Vikings backup cornerback Fred Smoot broke his jaw in five places and needed surgery after he was involved in a single-car accident Friday in Mississippi. He will be placed on injured reserve, as will starting cornerback Cedric Griffin, who has a neck injury.

this is all i found

too bad smoot cant play because his jaw would be wired shut so he would actually shut up and play
:P

Where did you find that <link please>?

Wow.
How could this have happened five days ago and none of us catch wind of it until now?

with the way he plays, the only thing close to a nickle he's gonna see, is his nicklebag!

If we were still in the playoff race I bet the news would have broken here on PP.O a while ago. Quite frankly, I don't think too many people care about this upcoming game now that we're out. People are too caught up in their Moss pipe dreams and Tarvaris starting next year orgasms.

I hear you.
I still will be glued to the TV for the Vikes-Rams game.
Doesn't matter if we are out of the playoffs or not.
I still want to see and evaluate TJack at QB.

Plus the game has some serious draft order implications for us.

And... if we lose, so do the Packers (because it would knock them out of the playoffs

)

Vikings | Patterson signed to active roster
Wed, 27 Dec 2006 11:05:14 -0800

Kevin Seifert, of the Star Tribune, reports the Minnesota Vikings signed CB Dimitri Patterson to their practice squad.

Nothing about Smoot but I would think this would be in response to it
