Minnesota Vikings Discussion

[djp]

Bad news. Jay Glazier on the Fox pregame just said Kevin & Pat Williams face suspensions due to the water pill issue that was announced earlier this week.

are you kidding me?

[The Dynasty]

well if its true then we should just throw in the towel....Our Defense will be killed without those 2.

[djp]

yeah, the season is definitely over if they are both suspended 4 games. They are our 2 best players...

Yeah pretty much.

1. Kevin Williams
2. Pat Williams
3. Adrian Peterson
4. Jared Allen
5. Antonie Winfield


Thats the top 5 imo.

....I joked with a friend saying The vikings will be the first team to ever lose on a bye...I think we just did it. If this is true.

PAT, KEVIN WILLIAMS HAD POSITIVE DIURETICS RESULTS, TOO
Posted by Mike Florio on October 26, 2008, 12:22 p.m. EDT

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the list of players who tested positive for a banned diuretic include both of the Vikings’ starting defensive tackles, Pat and Kevin Williams.

If the suspensions ultimately are upheld, the Vikings would be without the services of both players for four games. And that would decimate the Vikings’ run defense.

Glazer also reports that Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jackson is one of the names on the list.

The release of these names further highlights concerns that league sources are leaking confidential information regarding appeals that have not been finalized. Attorney David Cornwell, who reportedly will be representing some of the affected players, has recently made an aggressive call for measures aimed at ensuring that reporters don’t disclose this confidential information without also disclosing the source.

Well there's always a option of trading back....maybe even for QB already in the NFL....but I dont think we will have top 5...Ill say Top 15 for sure maybe Top 10.

we are at 3-4 right now, drop another 4 games, and the best we could hope for is 8-8. the way teams are tearing apart this defense doesnt bode well for the last 5 games


alright, maybe not top 5, i forgot that the lions and bengals are winless as well as the 49ers and browns stepping on thier own dicks every game

[General Zod]

We'll be picking top 10 for sure if the Williams get suspended for 4 games.

[giver17]

this is devastating

[russie]

hopefully with a top 10 pick we could get another adrian peterson instead of another troy williamson

[Dr. Gonzo]

If we are in the top 10 I would be looking to draft Malcom Jenkins, one of the big 3 OT's, or Sam Bradford.

[FuzzyGopher]

I love Jenkins but that is a high pick for a CB considering we run a cover 2.

[russie]

true, but all of our corners (other than winfield) are ****

[Dr. Gonzo]

Indeed. I just think Jenkins is too perfect for our scheme. Our pass D sucks so I saw forget trying to find CB steals in late rounds already and draft a stud. I also really like Macho Harris as a second round guy for us.

[vikes_28]

please...just not a quarterback...find that one in Free agency.
