Yea, that's what he did, he quit his job and watched every play and every player and came up with all kinds of Bill James like stats that don't show up in box scores. Anyway,...

That's a very plausible explanation. Although I think he snitched on Tice after the season and after they didn't bring him back.

Yea, I see your point but when a RB is peddling away on the stationary bike to stay warm and Tice says he should be standing next to me to get into the game I do wonder.

I thought the knock on Dez was his lousy hands?

Yea, it looks promising. Plus, the other contracts are all done so what's left of the rookie pool is all there is. Really, it's just structure at this point.

Udeze has been a major dissapointment to me. I sure hope he shows something this season. I think James should have a solid year, he looked solid down the stretch.

This assumes the early reports of Sharper moving to SS and Smith starting at FS are wrong. Camp starts soon, I guess we'll find out for sure shortly.

Horrible? Hardly. Did he live up to his reputation? No, but he was average and I would guess the experience helped.

Favre is tops in the North. I just hope the Vikings running game can keep the pressure off Brad.

After giving it some thought maybe he would be a good backup at FS.
Would he sign a contract to be a backup? Could very well be.

How many safeties do we need? Geez.

I really hope you are right Del Rio. I'm not very happy with this pick for a couple of reasons but like every other Viking fan I hope he turns out to be an excellent player. The downsides I see is
