Vikings signing spree

My comments on the Vikings three signings today.

-Mike McMahon-Viking fans might think he's better than he is because of his big games with the Lions versus the Vikings. McMahon is a very erratic passer with around a 45 percent completion ratio for his career. He's not a great timing passer. He also is known for making questionable decisions. He does have a strong arm, release the ball quickly, and move pretty well in the pocket. He needs work in other words. He will be helped by the fact the Vikings plan on running the ball so much. He also will have some familarity with their offensive system. We shall see with this signing but he's probably as good as anyone else out their on the market.
-Tank Williams-I'm somewhat surpised by the lack of intrest in Williams to lead him to the Vikings. Williams is the type of safety I've been asking for. A physical, intimadating player. Viking fans will love his hitting ability. Though they would like Willie Offord's. Not very good in deep secondary coverage. Although with thier CB's and Safeties he doesn't have to be. Will play physical with the Tight End something the Vikings D lacked last year. A good signing for the cost.
-Dequincy Scott-Is quick off the line with a good motor. Will be a pass-rush specialist, although he can disrupt the run. Not big enough to be an everydown player. Can struggle with blocks and contact on the pass-rush due to lack of size. A player that would probably be around the 8th D-lineman. Not a sure bet to make the team. Makes Lance Johnstone a goner, which is fine due to the presence of Erasmus James, Kenechi Udeze, and Darrion Scott.
