Titans DT Jeffery Simmons has been a helluva load for the Vikings interior line, and he's chirping. Vikings offense, first and second teams, aren't getting much time to operate.

Risner on speed dial :)

I would love to have a Jeffery Simmons in purple. What an underrated beast! Every time I watch the Titans he really stands out.

yay!! Another year of bad guard play centered by a midget center.  BUSTBuried is a liability and will be every year.  Why we keep with him I have no idea.

But he's great against teams with bad DTs.  Let me tell you who makes it deep into the playoffs in the NFL?  Teams with very good DTs.  It will be a downfall of the potency of this offense.

Sure, the shortest line to the immobile QB should our team's achilles heel.

How long is it going to be before they realize the interior of the offensive line is well offensive.  Time to get rid of the small finesse type guys that can pull and get to the edge and block.  Get the big ugly's that are hard to move and can block inside with a nasty streak.

Well that's not good news, is it? In related news, sounds like the Vikings have a top 5 defense.

apparently doing the same thing over and over does not change the results.... but hey... we will still have a shot at making the playoffs!

We need to adopt Michael Oher. Can he play guard?

Try not to take training camp too seriously.

Probably depends on the contract.

Is he a CB or safety?
