[JohnRandle]

Morning Blue,
Getting all your stuff packed up?

 

[JohnRandle]

I better hit the road too.
Have a good day ..

 

[powerchord86]

I'm smiling from ear to ear.
I just wish they would have lost their first router and a second instead of 2 seconds.

I hear that AP. I am sick of people saying it was too harsh. If anything it was not harsh enough.

Ted Ginn Jr. Visits Minnesota Vikings; Good Fit?

The Pioneer Press is reporting that free agent WR Ted Ginn Jr. had a meeting with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday. With the meeting, Ginn becomes one of the more notable players the Vikings have looked at this off-season. There is no question Minnesota needs help at wide receiver, but is Ginn the right man for the job?

In his first 5 NFL seasons, Ginn has been a decent wide out at best. He’s caught 159 balls for 2047 yards and 6 TD’s. However, his return numbers are a little more impressive, averaging 11.2/yards per punt return, and 23.2/yards per kick return. In total Ginn has taken 6 returns to the house.

Most would consider him a ‘speed guy,’ which is a much needed role on any team. The Vikings already have a speed guy in Percy Harvin, but can you really have too much speed?

Considering the fact the Vikings have done very little to improve their offense in free agency, I would like to see Ted Ginn Jr. donning the purple and gold next year. He certainly is no worse than any other receiver on the Vikings, not named Harvin, and he would figure to at least be in the mix for the No. 2 or 3 receiver spot going into camp.

If he wants to be in Minnesota, there should be no reason to not take a chance on him, because he’s definitely affordable, making just under an average of $4 Million/year, his first five seasons.

You know what you’re getting with a guy like Ted Ginn Jr. He’s fast, and if gets the ball in the open field, he can make plays. He’s not a guy you count on for 75 receptions a year, but 50 would not be out of the question with some hard work.

Having him in the return game, will only keep Percy Harvin fresh, and having their speed on the field at the same time, will no doubt stretch defenses.

Ginn also has visited with the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens this off-season, but if wants more targets, Minnesota should be his preferred destination.

I guess he did meet with the Vikes.

Free agent WR/KR Ted Ginn left his early-week visit with the Vikings without a contract.
The Vikings "definitely remain interested," per ESPN 1500 Twin Cities' Judd Zulgad, but no deal appears to be imminent. Ginn turns 27 in April and is one of the better return men in football. He wouldn't be a starting wideout in Minnesota.

 

[JohnRandle]

Yeah jeffro,
The Niners resigned him to a one year deal.
I would've like Ginn as a return man, if anything else to keep Harvin healthy.

I hear that AP. I am sick of people saying it was too harsh. If anything it was not harsh enough.

I would have been ok with a 1st and 2nd taken. But without a first round pick they would have been screwed for a couple seasons for sure. I don't think Goodell wanted that...even IF I did. lol

In all honesty if the crime fit the punishment.
The whole team should be banned from playing one year.
Or maybe even longer it could be considered gambling.

 

[anythingispossible]

LOL maybe someday I'll post how I really feel.

 

[powerchord86]

Hell with it ap. One year ban? Anyone connected - Banned for life.

The 1919 Black Sox come to mind for me. The shit should not be tolerated. :boxing:

I want heads to roll! lol

 

[powerchord86]

JR, you drinkin yet?

TGIFF!

 

[JohnRandle]

I just started..The way this week went, I'll be drunk by 6:42..lol

According to the Star-Tribune, the Minnesota Vikings have re-signed both linebacker Erin Henderson and wide receiver Devin Aromashodu.

Both Henderson and Aromashodu signed one-year deals that will pay them around $2 million each.

 

[JohnRandle]

Yeah, I was happy to hear about both of them.
Esp. Aromashodu. I think he has a chance to be a good one yet.

 

[JohnRandle]

I wanted to golf this weekend. Was too fricken busy though.
Have you been out yet AP?

 

[anythingispossible]

Not at all I have plenty of things to work on before Golf starts lol.

Minnesota Vikings Sign CB Zack Bowman, Continue Pursuing Chris Carr


In 2009, Bowman played in all 16 games, recording 66 tackles and a team-high six interceptions. Over the past two seasons, Bowman combined for 47 tackles, while only making four starts.
With 115 tackles, seven interceptions and two forced fumbles under his belt, Bowman definitely has the potential to be either a great dime or nickel cornerback.
Despite signing Bowman, the Vikings remain interested in cornerback Chris Carr, who last played for the Baltimore Ravens and has spent time with the Raiders and Titans as well.
Carr was a 16-game starter for the Ravens in 2010, where he notched 61 tackles, two interceptions and three forced fumbles.
This past season, Carr tallied only 19 tackles, while missing several games and primarily playing on special teams.

 

[JohnRandle]

It's good they're adding depth for sure.

 

[anythingispossible]

Good afternoon JR

 

[anythingispossible]

They say they're still open to trading the third pick.
