Love his quote

Oh, one other thing. A lot of people keep asking me about Brett Favre coming to play quarterback for the Vikings. I know nothing about it. Whoever is supposed to take care of that stuff will take care of it. So I havenâ€™t really thought about it.

All I know is that whoeverâ€™s back there, Iâ€™m going to be blocking my butt off for them.

Thanks for the read GG.

Minnesota has one of the best rushing attacks in the league, theyâ€™ve got a good offensive line and have two Pro Bowlers on the left side. I really feel like I couldnâ€™t have gone to a better situation than I did.

I know that people have said a lot of stuff about me coming in starting, but I havenâ€™t thought about that much. Iâ€™m just excited that I have an opportunity to compete for the job. Thatâ€™s what Iâ€™m focusing on.

I like this kid a lot.

I love his attitude and have a good feeling about the kid.

ahh Loadholt is such a stud! Great work ethic and great attitude.

**PurpleTide** · 05-09-2009, 03:44 PM

Sounds to me like our new starting right tackle.

Oh man.
This running game is going to be great.
The Twin Towers on the sides will dominate!

I like that nickname.
The Twin Towers.

with Loadholt and McKinny you won't be able to physically see Peterson until he is past you...

**hx38596** · 05-10-2009, 08:23 PM

Yeah, he may workout even though he's a sooner.
:-\

I remember his first year he really, really stunk it up as far as his feet.
Then there was a quote from him working in the offseason with austin english doing these workouts where he's coming off the end because he felt he really needed to improve his footwork.
A. english is the OLB or DE...
he's very fast at getting at the QB.
Anyway, he is said to of improved quite a bit to his senior year, so yeah.
He's got a good attitude and as i've said earlier.
He didn't plateau his senior year like oher did, so he's got plenty of upside.

what do you mean by that? Sooners have produced very well in the NFL throughout the years. No big name players besides Adrian recently but that's alright. Solid role players are never a bad thing.
