Thread: Kleinsasser likely to stay with Vikings

[size=13pt]Kleinsasser likely to stay with Vikings[/size]

By Kevin Seifert, Star Tribune

He won't make the roster if he keeps falling down without anybody tackling him like last season.

That was an interesting comment by Tomlin who said, "residue of past disciplinary problems had an impact on the Vikings' 2006 season." I wonder if a lot of back-biting and how not helping out one another led to big problems in the field.

Team Chemistry doesn't just happen. From the looks of are cuts and releases this offseason it looks like we did some cancer treatment, if only we could do the same to our fan base.

Kleinny is another guy that wants to stay in MN.
He's lost some of his game since his injuries but I think he can still be productive.
He's been totally taken out of the offense as far as receptions.
He normally has good hands and was able to break tackles in his younger days.
Maybe he can get that back.
He's not that old yet.

Kleinsasser, entering his ninth season, will compete with Jeff Dugan and Richard Owens for the Vikings' No. 2 tight end position behind new starter Visanthe Shiancoe. The Vikings kept four tight ends on their roster in 2006.

I've seen it twice (newspaper article) and heard B-chill say it once (NFL Network) that Dugan was gonna be a FB.

What did I miss here?

Also, I believe Kleinsasser could/would get a heck of lot more money playing elsewhere.
Glad to see he is another one that wants to stay.

Again, another indicator for the B-chill haters out there who say that he is loosing the team.

NAYSAYERS.........


By the way, I am in a bad mood again today.
;D

Eh, it's Kevin Seifert.
I rarely take his word as gospel.

No, B-chill actually said it during an interview.

4 years ago he got a good contract from the Vikes and he isn't worth that amount of money!

His play is average at best, he isn't sure handed and he isn't a weapon, so I don't see how you think he would get more money than the Vikes are paying him.

There seems to be this misnomer that Kleiny is this great tight end and I am sorry but that just isn't true.
He is average at best, overpaid in my opinion and if he doesn't make the team I wouldn't be surprised.

Something that is not so easy to develop in these days of FA. Before that a team nucleus was built, along with the chemistry, and so it meant only a few players having to be 'absorbed'. These days teams can end up with large personnel changes which makes it hard to keep the continuity going.
