you got that shit right!
Looks like Mayhem and Schwartz’ plan backfired on them!
Now we HAVE to come away with a CB, after creating a gaping hole at OLB…..
I was thinking Devin McCourty with our second pick for several months….Then the Ernie Sims trade…..Then i was thinking Jerry Hughes or Daryl Washington of TCU, and they sign Lito Sheppard as a FA…..
This could be a major debacle now!
Well done Minnesota, wellllll done!!!
Stupid Lions!

You mean like those underachievers Brett Favre, Ryan Longwell, and Darren Sharper? Maybe you’re piqued because the Vikings regard your team as a farm team …

For sure our weak spot. Go for it Chilly! Skol Vikes

With those two out, your left with Chris Carr, Cary Williams K.J. Gerard, Marcus Paschal to play opposite of Dominique Foxworth. And for people who don’t follow the Ravens, that’s a has-been KR and 3 practice squad caliber players. And I am not sure I would want a rookie CB starting from day one, even if its their 1st Rd pick. I am not sure why he is not a Raven.

Why…cause Minnesota is such a great place to play.
Lito stinks…hence why he is without a team. Does Chilly and Ziggy have Favre on the phone trying to entice Lito as well? Look how good it worked on LT…..

That day he left the shack
But that was all he missed
He ain’t comin’ back
At a tombstone bar
In a juke-joint car he made a stop
Just long enough
To grab a handle off the top
Next stop Chi’town
Lido put the money down
Let her roll
He say, “one more job oughta get it
One last shot ‘fore we quit it”
One for the road
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh….
He’s for the money, he’s for the show
Lido’s a-waitin’ for another go
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh….
He said, “one more job oughta get it”
“One last shot, we quit it”
“One more for the road”
Lido be runnin’,
Havin’ great big fun ’til he got the note
Sayin’ “toe the line or blow it”
And that was all she wrote
He be makin’ like a beeline,
Headin’ for the borderline, goin’ for broke
Sayin, “one more hit oughta do it”
“This joint, ain’t nothin’ to it”
“One more for the road”
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh….
He’s for the money, he’s for the show
Lido’s a-waitin’ for another go
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh….
“one more job oughta get it”
“One last shot, and we quit it”
“One more for the road”
[Instrumental Interlude]
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh….
He’s for the money, he’s for the show
Lido’s a-waitin’ for another go
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh….

Chance to play on a cellar dweller…. chance to play on a SB contender… Gee, can’t see why he didn’t jump at a chance to sign with Detroit.

Why are we not looking at this guy? We have nobody to line up opposite Champ. Goodman is better suited for a nickle slot, Alphonso Smith is a bust, and if Ty Law ends up back with the team, he’s… well… pretty old.

My choices:
(In order of not bloody likely/realistic/slight reach)
Jimmy Clausen
Maurkice Pouncey
Taylor Mays
As always,
GO VIKES!!!
Redemption, 141 days to go and counting…

He can start. He got a lot of work last year because teams threw away from Revis, but aside from his last season with the Eagles he was a solid starter his whole career and went to a pro bowl. I could see Childress making this move.

He’s obviously not a long term solution but he would allow them to move around (possibly up) for a QB like Clausen or use their first pick on another position. The draft is deep at CB but as you move back they may not be able to start right away so this could work out perfect.
