[size=13pt]As union rep and line anchor, Steve Hutchinson ready to lead[/size]

MINNEAPOLIS â€” Steve Hutchinson already misses Matt Birk.

But he doesn't begrudge his buddy's decision to leave Minnesota and sign with Baltimore. It's the business side of the NFL, of course, one that Hutchinson himself experienced to the fullest with his own departure from Seattle three years ago. And as the Vikings' new union rep, Hutchinson is more attuned to that side of the game than ever....

Thanks for the read my friend.

Couldn't think of a better leader for the OL than Mr. Hutch.

I can.

An intelligent Harvard-grad, native to Minnesota, who has led the team during his whole career and still has plenty left in the tank, and plays center, thus makes the lines calls to direct his unit.

Anyways, Hutch is awesome and I expect another great year from him. I would like to think he was seen as a leader last year anyways.

LOL! Yet you still bring up "Joey" several times a year, even though he has not been a Viking for 18 years.
:P

In the long run, I only bring him up to help others avoid the pain.
As fans we will be so much better off if you don't latch onto these cats because in the end, they will always leave...... :'( :'( :'(

I tell you, Marrdro when the great #47 JB latched on to somebody they weren't leaving anywhere.

I loved to watch him against a guy coming across the middle.
Very few held on to the ball the first time.
Very few ever came across the middle again...... ;D

18 years out of the league, thanks singer for reminding me how old I'm getting. :-\
Meanwhile.........
back to the thread.

Hutch will be a big help with the Sullivan transition, and I think the line will have mature'd in this zone blocking system and be in sync much, much faster than last year.
