McKinnie on PPO

The latest news is that McKinnie broke his left hand. It looks like he'll be starting in Big D on Sunday.

He would definitely have a tough time posting now with his hand broken.

#74 is a warrior. I think he's made a lot of progress in the new offensive scheme, and he will continue to improve his production. I just hope that hand doesn't bother him too much.

He broke it against Green Bay. You know, the game he had the flu and played like pooh.
He played with a broken hand against the Bears and had a great game.

We posted McKinnie's recent blogs, a little late, that he sent us, but just another tidbit or two into a team player excited to reach out to the fans.

SKOL McKinnie and thank you!
It is great to read notes from a player about how things are going from the inside.

Hey McKinnie, can you pass a message to Chiller from me?

It's cool...I coach youth football so I know the "low down"!
;D

(thanks for the updates brother)

McKinnie is just devastating in his run-blocking. In the Dec 2nd game against the Lions, McKinnie kneeled down after the 2nd or 3rd play of the Vikings offense. He left the game. On replay it looked like a painful knee injury. The announcers started talking about how McKinnie was going to be knocked out of the game and how this was a huge blow and the Vikings would never recover. Artis Hicks went in and did a servicable job. By the end of the drive, the announcers were talking about the huge blocks McKinnie was throwing to open up the touchdown run. I never heard them bring up how he came back in. He was like a ghost. He just slipped back in during the drive.

Pretty awesome. It just shows how much grit and determination and toughness Bryant McKinnie has.
