I believe the article should have been named "Viking's TE Shiancoe hopes new hands come in mail soon".
Was he ever "On track"
It's bad because all you heard about Visanthe all off season is how hard he's worked and how much better him and Tarvaris have gotten , and after a pre season fumble everyone is going to write him off , I hope he can get it on track because the system we have in play is set up so a Tight End can get 40 - 50 catches .
Not giving up on him yet.
I don't want to hear the word "tries," I just want him to do what a TE, that isn't one dimensional, is suppose to do.
Block
Catch the football
repeat
That is all I want to see.

He did have the best year of his career last year. What did everyone think he was going from 81 yards to 1,000 overnight? Well I guess the Vikings did when they gave him that fat deal, but it was a little unrealistic.
We need a new TE. Period.
You guys are being a little rough on him. He had a fumble in a preseason game, so what, mistakes happen thats what preseason games are for. As long as he knows he screwed up and wants to fix it then let him try. I mean 1/2 of our team had fumbles in that game, you can't just single shank out. If he keeps fumbling in the regular season then you have every right to harp on him.
