Q&A

Q: What do you make of Mike Tice's Job Status

A: I think if he wins 10 games, he'll be back. I never thought I would say that after Daunte went down, and they were 2-5. A division title, or a playoff win probably brings him back to the fold with a 2-3 year extension. Ted Cotrell should be back with him, the Vikings

should bring in a Off.Cordinator.

Q: What are the Vikings biggest needs going into the off-season?

A: They could maybe add a young LB high in the draft, as it is a strong draft for LB's. With guys like Demeco Ryans-Alabama, Ahmed Brooks-Virgina, Paul Poluznsy-Penn State, AJ Hawk-Ohio State, Chad Greenway-Iowa, Thomas Howard-UTEP, and AJ Nicholson of Flordia State all looking like first rounders. The Vikings will maybe let Sam Cowart go after this year and , and move EJ Henderson to the middle, with Donatarrious Thomas moving into the starting line-up. Keith Newman might also draw some intrest this year in Free Agency. An Offensive Guard could be a need in Free Agency, but the best option avalible could be to re-sign Toniu Fonoti for next year. So not a lot of help to be had their of the players currently on the market. A big time running back would also be a possibilty I like Deangelo Williams-out of Memphis in the draft. I'm not nuts about giving a free-agent RB a big contract, since a running back's life-span is so short. So a guy like Shaun Alexander, or Edgerrin James I see them going down hill soon.
