Ball carriers want nothing to do with the word (it rhymes with "bumble"). Just ask Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe.

Shiancoe fumbled only once last season

That hack better do his research. We here on PPO know that Shanc is a re-occuring offender last year in the area of dropped passes and fumbles and isn't worth the money he is being paid.
:

Former Vikings running backs coach and current Sirius radio NFL analyst Dean Dalton said he wasn't surprised the Vikings had so many fumbles in the preseason opener.

"In my estimation, the reason for all the fumbles was it's been a little less physical in the camp this year," Dalton said. "Having helmets hit your arms is not a natural thing. You have to get used to getting banged on those arms."

Comeon Dean.
I respect your opinion but don't try to feed me that crap that players need to get re-acclimated to being tackled. They are pro's.
They don't forget that over the offseason.

(Looks like my sarcastic whit is in high gear today).
;D ;D ;D ;D

Unfortunately, his big money is part of the problem...with all that money, it's hard not to play him.

Tiki Barber went through a period of "fumbleitis", until Coughlin suggested he hold the ball differently and it worked. Shank has to learn to catch anf tuck it in. But first, he's gotta catch the damn thing.

I was actually being sarcastic in with both of my comments my friend.

I'm putting the first regular season loss on Shiancoe's shoulders.

I'll get on that bandwagon.
That cat makes way to much money not to accomplish something.
Might as well be that.

The ratio of one fumble to 27 touches is not all that impressive IMHO.
