Webb a Man of Many Trades

Since drafting Joe Webb, his althetisism has boggled the minds of many fans. Some didn’t understand why we’d take a guy that late to be a QB. Well, when he was introduced by the Vikes, it was as a WR. Now, apparently it is BOTH. Will Joe Webb get a shot at quarterback with the [...]

Coach B gives you the skinny of the Vikings draft selections

Links of the Week

Well, I am not going to lie… this is a sllllllllow week. We’ve tried to keep busy in these parts by talking about Favre’s ankle, Ray Edwards’ contract (or lack of), introducing new members of the Vikings Gab team, and attempting to understand the most recent “ending” of the StarCaps saga.

News of the Weird

Just a few articles I came across today (via Rotoworld): According to Vikings beat reporter Judd Zulgad, an Albert Haynesworth trade to Minnesota “is not going to happen.” A Haynesworth trade was possible during the draft, but the Redskins and an interested team would have to get extremely creative to make a deal happen now.

Is Ray Edwards Worth It?

Much attention has been given to the reports that Vikings starting left end Ray Edwards will not be signing his RFA tender until the last second, and thus will be skipping a number of offseason activities including the mandatory minicamp. It is fully his right to skip these events hardly anybody blames him.  As everybody [...]
