Defensive ends Ray Edwards and Brian Robison are scheduled to become unrestricted free agency when the offseason begins. They may have just gained a ton of leverage. The Vikings fourth round pick of 2010, USC defensive end Everson Griffen was arrested by LAPD for felony battery. After spending a day visiting coaches and players on [...]

MONDAY’S CHAOS THEORY: Carrying Four
Okay, I honestly truly was planning to find a topic for today’s article that didn’t focus on the quarterback position. Come April, we are all going to be a little quarterbacked out I think. I was going actually focus on the fullback position, but there is something that has been bothering me for a while [...]
SCOUTING REPORT: Cam Newton
Cam Newton, QB, Auburn, 6’6 250 This scouting report was written by Abe Munch of www.nfldraftgab.com. Position Ranking: #4 Strengths: Has an amazing combination of height and athleticism for the position. Very good arm strength and can make the deep out, and deep corner throw. A high release point in his upper body mechanics allows [...]
What’s Next?
So, now that the Pro Bowl is over and the Vikings have shaped their coaching staff, what the heck do we do now? Sure, we have that stupid game next Sunday where the Packers are going to try and put a “cherry on top” of what has been arguably the most disappointing season ever, but [...]
SCOUTING REPORT: Marcell Dareus
Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama, 6’4 306 Position Ranking: #2 Strengths: Dareus played in a diverse defensive scheme and adds versatility as either a defensive tackle, nose tackle, or defensive end. Shows very good footwork for a man his size; moves well in short areas. Nimble. Has the strength to anchor consistently at the point [...]
Vikings In The Pro Bowl
Well, victory was something seldom tasted for Vikings players this year, but three of them were able to be on a winning team (and get a little more cash in their pocket) in Hawaii today, as the NFC won 55-41. Adrian Peterson, E.J. Henderson, and Antoine Winfield represented the Vikings in the meaningless all-star game. [...]
Updating The QB Speculation
In yesterday’s mock draft update I finally warmed up enough to the idea of spending the #12 pick on an offensive lineman that I gave the Vikings Colorado tackle Nate Solder. Then, wouldn’t you know it, Solder went and laid an egg in the Senior Bowl. He was getting beat by mid-to-late round picks on [...]
SCOUTING REPORT: Mark Ingram
Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama, 5’10 215 This scouting report was written by Abe Munch of www.nfldraftgab.com. Position Ranking: #1 Strengths: Has a very good build and running style for the position; stout and runs low to the ground. Ingram is quick to the line of scrimmage and hits the crease without hesitancy, showing great burst [...]
Young Still Expected To Be Available
First the Titans said they would keep head coach Jeff Fisher and get rid of quarterback Vince Young. Then the Vikings hired Young’s old quarterback’s coach and speculation grew that Young would end up in Minnesota, and I took the minority position that the move would make sense for the Vikings. Then, that theory received [...]
Berrian At Center Of Odd Story
Vikings receiver Bernard Berrian had roughly 252 more receiving yards playing for the Vikings this year than I did watching them. His offseason isn’t going much better. Berrian is at the center of an odd story in which he left his cell phone on top of an ATM and returned shortly after to find it [...]
