INDIANAPOLIS - Vikings officials weren't exactly forthcoming on the topic, but it's a safe bet that the right tackle position is near the top of the team's wish list for an upgrade....
Thanks for the read my friend.
Couple of problems with a article like this.......
1.
They ruin your day and remind you that Gross and Carey signed.
2.
They never really break down R and L Tackles when they talk about them.
Beatty, Loadholt and Meredith were all LT's.
Why would anyone think they could come in and start at RT in our blocking scheme?
really be nice to get a RT and extend Birk-

Well I have seen some thoughts of people who think we could bring in a LT and then move McKinnie to RT - so is that a feasible option or would he want a contract extension for having to learn a new position?Quote:

Maybe RT isn't that hard.
Birk played it for a spell as well.

Problem for me is then you have both T's learning under fire again.
I for one am tired of watching people learn on the field.

well that's true but as McKinnie is an elite player - as we often hear - then it's not quite like having a rookie out there, but I take your pointQuote:

I am one of a select few who doesn't blame him for getting thrown to the wolves and for not having anything better on the roster than him.
