Jim Kleinsasser laughed when he was asked whether he wondered if the Minnesota Vikings would have him back in 2007....

Put the Sauce at H-Back, and let him clear a path to the End-Zone. Ala Randall Mcdaniel... Bring the Pain Jim.

He is a beast.
He could make some pretty big holes for our backs out of the H-back position.

Personally I don't really see a spot for Kleinsasser, unless we run a 2-TE set, which is less likely to happen with Tony Richardson.

I agree, but you have to admit, he is an incredibly solid backup.

Just put him in at TE on running plays. He is pretty much another offensive lineman. He is also a great special teamer.

While I am all for ramming the ball down the opposition's throats, that would be extremely predictable.

He came to bring the pain, hardcore from the brain. Lets go inside my astro-plane.

And being the highest paid offensive line, giving C. Taylor a nice contract after only being a backup, drafting Adrian Peterson and paying him a hell of a contract after never running one play in the NFL, and relying on a 2nd year QB isn't???
