Hopefully this is the last of Ameer Abdullah with the Vikes

I bet hes on the practice squad tomorrow

I love to call Nwangwu a stone cold player.  He has been a role player behind Montgomery and Hall at IA State and has always performed.  This guy can be a bad ass change of style, more so than Mattison.  He won't be flashy, but can do some major chunk plays.  Good guy, an engineer, what more can you say.  He has the speed of Tyreek Hill, and 25 pounds heavier,  was a special teams stand out and changed field position in key clutch situations.   Caught the the recruiters attention early on as kid out running kids on roller skates.

You know you've been a Vikings fan too long when your eyes first pass over the thread title and read "Nwangwu arrested"  :# :p

Can't wait to see him on the field.

That name is a challenge...can we just call him "fast kenny"?

I'm fine with Abdullah, but I'd like to see what this kid has.

Abdullah is just one of those guys that never really does anything. There's no spark, nothing special he brings to the table. Let's see what Fast Kenny has to offer

Watch Abdullah.

Ultimately the Vikings won the game, so it didn't matter.

Abdullah is what he is.

Aprox 8 minute mark of video.

Abdullah is signing with the Panthers.

I think they are doing it wrong, they needed to sign him last week.

The Vikings like Nwangwu, that's obvious. He impressed in camp. Make use of that rookie contract as it applies to the cap as well. He got a $700,000+ signing bonus as a 4th rounder. He should be the #3 RB with that invested in him.

Most exciting thing about Fast Kenny is how they used him in training camp. On more than one occasion, in the wildcat, the snap went directly to Dalvin who would either take it himself or shovel to Nwangwu who would blaze around the corner.

They undoubtedly did it in preparation for a game without three of their QBs. Still, would love to see the offense get creative with KN's speed.

With this kid's kind of speed...Cousins dumping a screen pass off to him and shifting to high gear will be something awesome to watch...

Thats where I think he can really kill,  if he can read and set up blocks to maximize those big uglies on the outside,   then with his quick and top end speed that would really force the defenses hand.  I love DCs game,  but he doesn't have the home run speed that fast Kenny appears to possess. 

What Kene doesn't have is the quick twitch and change of direction to make a close tackler miss.  But if they take the slightest wrong angle, there is no recovery.  Tacklers snap their ankles 5 yards away and he has really good vision.
