Will Ben Tate take over the Minny backfield?

[Beengay fudgepackers]

I can see why he didn't play last week, but do you think he could get more touches this week after a week of practice? I could see him being a big contributor starting next week.

Maybe, too risky to start any MN runner until we get some clarity though.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I don't see why not.

When McKinnon said he'd be out, he talked about how Asiata and Banyard would pick up the slack.

Maybe nobody's told him they signed Tate?

Misdirection?

 

[SteelersPride]

i think he will, but when, cant risk it for now

Not the greatest schedule the last coupla weeks, either...

One other thing I wanted to mention about the Vikes is that they did lose Loadholt for the year. The guy had his issues but that still hurts an OL that wasn't the greatest to begin with. We've got a replacement guy in there with Matt (The Statue) Kalil.

This does not bode well for anyone on the offense, I think. Teddy & Co. will be starring in their own version of "Hard Knocks".

As others have said. . He should, but when? Not safe enough unless you're just absolutely the definition of desperate

 

[Dougie McBuckets]

Ben Tate is who we thought he was.

I think this probably says more about the situation than who the RB is. Good thing the Vikes D/ST brought the A game today, because the run game was a bit ugly
