Daily Chat: The First Cuts

79
The number of players currently on the Vikings roster after cutting linebacker Jeremy Leman.

THE OTHER FOUR
The other four cuts that must be made by 3 p.m. today, I’m guessing, will be

  • Chris Clark
  • Taye Biddle
  • Bill Noethlich
  • DeAndre Wright

SETTLE
One of the most impressive things about rookie cornerback Chris Cook is that he plays in control. It wasn’t until last year that Cedric Griffin figured out how to play in control. Remember how he used to fly in at full speed from his corner position on those wide receiver screens? Griffin would fly in so fast that he’d end up just deflecting himself off the receiver and as a result, he’d miss the block.

What Griffin eventually learned was to get to the play quickly but when he got the ball, gather himself, and settle so he was in control as he made the tackle.

It may be too early to tell, but Cook appears to know how to do this instinctively.

VINTAGE VIKINGS
LOVE those vintage clips!

JUDGE JUDY
Someone Javon Walker really, really wants to meet. Seriously. Just to say hi. Pioner PressBob Sansevere did the full, funny interview.
