Thread: The Vikings OL is a Bleeping Mess

Load may get worked by speedy pass rushers, but Charlie is going to get worked by big bull-rushing pass rushers like Jared Allen. From what I've been reading, Allen has been absolutely embarrassing him.

Charlie is not undersized. He is just about right for LTs. And I would never want an LT larger than 340 pounds because he is going to get beat all day long.
Jared Allen would completely embarrass Load as well.

You crack me up. [strike]Well said [/strike]adequately articulated though.

Sometimes I wonder if the whole "Risk to injury" thing is even worth worrying about. Its football for goodness sakes. Someone is gonna get hurt. If it happens to one of your starting OL, then run the backups out.

Course that mentality is probably why I'm nothing more than a yutz with a keyboard.
