Will Erasmus be ready for training camp?

He is definitely missing the June minicamp...but who knows after that?

I am worried about this and have been for a few months.

Robison will help at some point but not right away.
Most impact will be on special teams probably.

Sure hope we get some production out of some of our returning young guys (Edwards, Mitchell, Smith) even if he comes back in time.

Another thing that bothers me is Darions dispute over his contract.
Hope comes in and plays with the right attitude.

All I know is that Erasmus has been a bust ever since he came to the Vikes.

He had 4 sacks in a limited role his rookie season.

Mario Williams had 5.5 starting every game for the Texans this year.

Give the guy a chance.

What a bust.

Much like these guys.

Bruce Smith 6.5 first year.
200 total
Reggie White 13 first year, 198 total
Kevin Greene 0 first year, 160 total
Chris Doleman .5 first year, 150.5 totatl
John Randle 1 first year, 137.5 total

In fact only the top two sack leaders of all time (since they started keeping the stat) had more thier first year.

I wouldn't consider him a total bust my friend.
Nor would I count.......

Darion Scott 5.5
Keneche Udeze 5

.....as busts based on historical data.

I say give them a brake to put it all together (everyone healthy, solid scheme, additional talent at LB and DB positions) before you label them as busts.
