Whittaker was a better ST player than Edwards which is where we need help at and likely the only place Edwards would have seen serious action.<BR/><BR/>The trend in the NFL among QBs is to have two veterans and a developmental player. Unlike most teams, our developmental QB is starting.<BR/><BR/>I agree completely with the Blue cut. Blue can't play ST worth a damn and can't tackle. He will never be a good Cover 2 safety if he can't tackle. He didn't have good range and isn't a ballhawk. He could thump guys, but thats about it and I'd rather a guy that can thump and tackle (T. Williams) to a guy who can only do one.firechildresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404175741164538487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268346.post-30136926395563939342007-09-03T16:39:00.000-05:002007-09-03T16:39:00.000-05:00VG:Seems like the Vikes are jettisoning players wi...VG:<BR/><BR/>Seems like the Vikes are jettisoning players with potential (Thigpen, Blue and Edwards) for veterans with none (Bollinger, Tank Williams, Whitaker).<BR/><BR/>Cutting Edwards was the big surprise to me. I think he can play. The Giants obviously think so, too. Do you suppose Whitaker would have been picked up so quickly by another NFL team had he been cut? Forget it, he'd be sending out resumes to Wendy's right now. <BR/><BR/>Really like your stuff, VG. This is the best written Vikings blog I've come across. I log on often looking for updates. As an aside, I've changed my blog address and blog name, in case you're interested. It can now be found at http://grants-tomb.blogspot.com. After thinking about it, it just didn't seem right to have two Norseman-named blogs out there.Darren Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280352819585972328noreply@blogger.com
