Vikings | Team has room for both tight ends
Thu, 11 May 2006 07:03:00 -0700

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress said there would be plenty of room for Vikings' TEs Jim Kleinsasser and Jermaine Wiggins in his offense. "I think you have to keep throwing fastballs at the defense," Childress said. "If you're standing with that personnel package on the field, I think you can become predictable."

Vikings | Open competition at punter
Thu, 11 May 2006 07:00:33 -0700

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress said rookie P John Torp will compete for the job with incumbent P Chris Kluwe. Kluwe is coming back from knee surgery. "There's a competition there," Childress said. "They'll both have a chance to win."

This is more noteworthy to me than Special Teams???

Childress in the WCCO interview didn't want to put too much on Greenways shoulders for this season. If he is ready to play at the NFL level, he will play.

I hope EJ works at MLB. We need one to step up and take that position.

I think that JK could be a dominant FB in this league. Better than SD's Neal and even Richardson. I know that is not what most football players want to (in his case) be demoted to, but he is good at it. I guess it depends on which set your team wants to run.

Kluwe, if healthy, wins the job. Man that guy can kick. He probably hasn't had the chance to practice much coming off injuries.

i really hope kluwe is healthy, such an amazing punter, loved the running endzone kick last year

**MightyVikes12391** · 05-11-2006, 08:47 PM

T will should return kicks

**Warp** · 05-11-2006, 08:48 PM

Lets hope K-rob doesnt get injured if hes the returner :???: I personally hope taurean Henderson gets a tryout at KR, I think he could be great at that.

**VikesfaninWis** · 05-11-2006, 08:48 PM

I would like to see Travis Taylor do kickoffs instead of K-Rob.. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, but for sure not K-Rob.. I really hope Kluwe can come back as good as he was last season. We need a good punter like him. Also good to see Leber cleared to practice.. Hopefully he will make a impact. Seeing EJ going back to the MLB position, clears the way for Greenway to take over the WLB position...
