Looming roster cut has some Minnesota Vikings anxious

Jon Cooper has elicited praise from Vikings coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, and he has earned plenty of repetitions as the team's second-string center during the preseason.

I say Garrett Mills is going to have to take a hike so we can keep Reynaud.
Mills is constantly dinged and missed half of camp for the 2nd time in 3 seasons if you include his days with the Patriots. Mills is solid, but Reynaud has shown some "wow" plays in exhibition games. Mills on the other hand seems to always be nicked up and has not done a fargin thing in the exhibition games.

Sean,

You forgot to mention that I'll be sitting out tonight's game. Everything's all-right, ribs are fine, shoulder's good. Gonna keep the arm in condition by knocking down some milk bottles at the fair this weekend.

[PA-FAN]

Good sales pitch moabofo-well done.

[Ricky]

keep Cooper

With 21 cuts happening on Saturday, this article didn't really identify any.

Worthless material...I didn't get any information for wasting my time reading it! What's with the media? Stick your neck out...who are the slackers that will out of here? The very few names listed are the ones that will be picked up by other teams. What about the practice dummies?

Ryan Cook a valueable asset? That's the best joke I've heard today!!! LMAO

[bill brown lives]

Cook make too many mistakes.

[Paymah]

Paymah. He gets burnt too much. He has the ability to show us the "New way to loose".

[Big D]

Moabofo, do people actually respond to this form or cheesy advertising? I think it's time to get back to finishing up that associates in business marketing for you.

Mills is really a talented guy, that's why the Patriots wanted Childress to stay away from him, but too injury prone. Aside from the starters in the secondary, the reserves are leaving a lot to be desired. I'd love to see some wildcat sets with Harvin, Darius Reynald, and Peterson.

[Favre]

I will be on crutches if we use any wildcat BS.

[Archangel]

Artis Hicks really is valuable. Then, there's Cook...ummm not really. More as a last resort.

We better trade Chester Taylor now before he becomes a free agent. How can t his not happen. he deserves a chance to start, and we deserve a pick for him. we can use Young and Johnson in the backfield with All day. isn't this the right thing to do?

[doc]

For once the Viking appear to be some what knee deep in talent. The one glaring thing they need to face is what to done with TJ. His value on the market may not be that good. The other maybe to put him or Booty on IR until we know about the Favre man. Do the coaches have the much faith in Tj or does he need to move on? But go Vikes have a great year.

Yes, Chester Taylor deserves to start somewhere. But I think he is too valuable as a 3rd down back, and to give All day a break once in a while. It would be a mistake to trade him.

It hurts to make cuts in the roster but it has to be done. We make some good decesion's on some and bad guess on another but that's football. go vikings.

[Ottis Campbell]

chilly your silly

[Favre]

I love the Vikings. I will do my best to win a Superbowl for the great fans in Minnesota.

Booty has done nothing to merit a release, yet. What he's shown is a weak arm, but good grasp of the game thus should be kept for now. Jackson, on the other hand, has proven a mental flop - who gives a rat's ass how *athletic* he seems to be? If ya can't read defences in your 4th year, feel pressure, make quick decisions, see the field, manage the game, audible or throw an accurate ball, you're in the wrong business and should be s__t canned without hesitation, story over. Cook is also a proven failure showing no skills and should join Jokeson - out the door.

[This and that]

As far as cuts go, I think we all know Tarvaris is a goner. I'm not sure Bobby Wade makes this team, and I'm not sure a few familiar offensive and defensive linemen, like Ryan Cook, make this team. Now, none of the guys we'll see tonight are starters. Most of the guys playing tonight are going to cover punts and kicks regardless of who makes it.

It's interesting that you say that, because of all the QBs we have, Tarvaris had the best game of the preseason (against the Chiefs), and has thrown the most TDs this preseason too.

Besides that, I'm not sure TJack is a west coast passer. I like him better in places like New England, Denver, Houston, Arizona, and Kansas City - teams that aren't buying into this dink and dunk West Coast Offense.
