LB Situation, where do we stand?

**Turboe** · 10-13-2008, 10:13 AM

Anyone know the health status of Herron, didnt he leave the field a couple times?
Cant remember if he finished the game or if Chirciu (sorry for the spelling?) finished up as the first string player?

I still cant believe that we havent at least had a Dontarrious Thomas siting around Winter Park for a look see?
Someone said that he has been sited in MPLS area at non football functions, apparently he is still living there?
I sure hope to see him back in Purple as a fill in, special teams, something.

I have not heard yet we will prolly find out today maybe at Chillys press conference. I really think we need to sign Donatarius Thomas either way.

We are starting to get a bit thin in the LB area aren't we.

Gotta give the coaching staff props as well as the backup LB's who have stepped up with respect to hardly any droppoff in D production.

I do see issues with respect to our special teams coverage and some bigger returns.
Leads me to believe that the LB's are getting a bit wore down from all the extra reps.

A extra body or two wouldn't be a bad move at this point. Hopefully ole Ricky boy is working something before tomorrow and a trade for a guy might take place or DT is brought back.

BRING BACK DT ASAP

And I sure hope Herron can go next week.. Circiu got blown up a few times

And with that long run they had.. Circiu didn't fill up the hole and gave Smith some nice room.. EJ would have blown that play up in the backfield

We don't know where we stand yet because we just played the Lions and they are no test for any defense at this point.

We are starting a spot in our schedule that was supposed to be soft against the Bears, Houston,GB, TB, Jac etc and those teams will all test our LB's to a much higher extent than the feeble Lions did.

I have been saying cut Circiu for a while now, the guy sucks. I hope we sign DT

Yes, and im wondering if there is something wrong with him

He couldn't even get a backup spot in SF

Who ever comes in has to be able to stop the run.
Vikes will be facing Forte next week.
He's ranked 5th in yards and has busted some long runs, which the Vikes have been giving up a couple each week.
You know they are going to be running strait at the new guy.

Noone will replace EJ, we can only hope the guy that goes in doesn't screw up and cost games.
