Childress: Starters won’t play
August 26th, 2008 – 3:59 PM by Chip ScogginsVikings coach Brad Childress said none of his starters will play Thursday at Dallas. He said he wants to rest them and be able to get a longer look at backups who are fighting to make the 53-man roster.
Childress said there are still a few roster spots open entering the final game and the staff wants to evaluate some of those backups a little more.
Backup quarterback Gus Frerotte also will not play. Frerotte wasn’t at practice today and Childress said he gave him the day off.
Brooks Bollinger and rookie John David Booty will each get a half. Childress said he hasn’t decided who will start, joking that he might flip a coin or play rock, paper, scissors.
Former Gophers coach Murray Warmath visited practice. Warmath is 95 but still sharp. Childress said when someone asked about his Gophers hat, Warmath took it off, looked at it and said, “Yep. Those are the last people that paid me.”

Sweet! That’s got to give us at least a 40% chance of our starters not getting hurt in Dallas…
No Mustache Fargo.
Tell them to take an extra step back from the sideline…
JP wrecking the NBA.

JP is just like John Stockton, except John Stockton isn’t a ball hog.
JP is just like a blanket, except a blanket can cover a wide reciever.
Is the #3 QB position still a question? Goodness I hope not. I assume BroBo has been told, “Here’s your chance to show your stuff on TV for someone to possibly pick you up.” Booty hasn’t looked great in PS, but has much more “upside” at this stage of the game.
JP is just like Brock Lesnar, except Brock Lesnar can beat my 7 yr old nephew in wrestling.
Can the Vikes average more scoring than last year? There may not be a great leap here, but here are a few reasons why they should increase scoring:
- No TWill to drop wide open TD passes.
- Shank will hopefully concentrate a little more in the zone.
- a better overall receiving corps.
- An “improved” TJack with hopefully fewer interceptions and more TD throws.
- A better pass rush should lead to shorter opponent drives and more offensive possessions.
- A more experienced AP.
Concerns to affect scoring down:
- Pass protection
- Penalties
- Tapeh vs. Richardson
- Defensive focus on our run game
- Berrian toe/TJack knee/AP knee
I still say we can average 23/24.
I’d like to see more bootlegs out of this offense.
Big fan of the bootleg, especially if T Jack is healthy and speedy.

defense might put up more points in the first 3 games than our O
I know Hank Baskett would put more points than the vikings offense the entire season. Horribles.
Well, I hope no one gets on here and rips Childress for sitting the starters when so may called for an end to pre-season period. The above roster looks pretty good, but I am still not a fan of Vischancoe, or how ever the hell you spell his name. I like Tapeh as FB he has that X factor, that desire and humility. I don’t see the Vikings going the whole season with out trying very hard to find help at DE.

I have no problem with the DE’s we have now if they can stay healthy. So as long as none of them go down this season, and Udeze can/wants to play next season, we’re pretty solid at DE for years to come.
With our very limited cap space I’d rather see our Front Office make a move on some O-Line depth/upgrades.
[…] Originally published by Access Vikings: […]
Regarding the roster above: I don’t see the Vikes with 6 WR, but if they do carry 6 it would be Fergie instead of Johnson. Although they might leave Fergie off in week one so his salary isn’t guaranteed. I also think it’s Evans instead of Guion. I think Dugan makes the team instead of the 6th WR. The other three that could depend on the last game are the final LB (Leman, Alexander or Herron), the final O-line between C. Johnson and Radovich, and the final CB between Sapp and Sumrall. Radovich looked better than Johnson with very limited time. Sumrall looked like the third Cromartie. If he makes some plays like he did against the Ravens, it’ll be real hard to get him to the Practice Squad.
Hoppy: You are horrible, there I said it.
gr8,
Good assessment. If you notice I left 1 open spot because I was undecided if the Vikes would keep Dugan, Radovich, or Sumrall. Also, with Medeau’s situation, it’s possible that we can keep one extra player until at least week 6. I do see the Vikes keeping 6 WRs… and its a personal hunch of mine that Fergie will not be one of them. Berrian and Wade are enough veteran experience for one WR crew. I don’t think quite as highly of Sumrall as you do, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he sticks. I wish the Vikes would find out if Sullivan could be tought to be a great long snapper. While I like Loeffler, another roster spot would be nice.
akvikesfan: Yawn.
Hoppy has made some poor decisions that he will regret later in life and he has a personality of a dead moth. Horrible.
akvikesfan, You’re wrong on a few. C Johnson gets cut replaced by Radovich. Leman replaced by Alexander. They also keep Mattran, Daniels, Reynaud, Dugan, and Tahi.
Fergie can block which is a plus. Berrian and Rice seem to have a problem staying on the field. J. Johnson seems to be a high potential returner, but doesn’t seem to be able to catch. Sumrall made very athletic plays but it was against 3rd stringers. Like to see what he can do against better competition. The one-handed int against the Ravens was highlight reel stuff. And no I didn’t notice that you’d left one spot open. The lack of 53 fingers, toes, or any combination thereof is a hinderance.
JP is just like Troy Williamson, but Williamson can catch.
Who is five beers deep tonight? What do I look like Hoppy? He is still better than Bones however…Horrible.
Hoppy is like Bones, but Bones can write a good post…what a minute, they both are horrible bloggers.
Ha ha Bones.
Wait a sec.
Gr8scot: The 80’s called, they want your movie collection back. That movie was horrible then.
JP is just like Hank Baskett, except Hank Baskett isn’t a communist.
Purplehorn: I hope the Vikings keep Hank Baskett…Oh wait, the vikings traded him for Billy McMuffin. Worst trade in the history of football.
Watch it.
Jared Allen will eat a homeless person if you dare him.
Chip Scoggins and Gomer Pile.
Have you ever seen them in the same room together?
I once seen Jared Allen scissor kick Angela Lansbury.
Jared Allen is ten feet tall. He is mountain of a man. Jared Allen!
I’ve seen Jared Allen take on a Grizzy bear and win. Jared Allen!
I’ve seen Jared Allen put coal into his hands and turn it into gold. He’s a heck of guy.
I’ve seen Jared Allen eat a 5 cows and still be hungry.
Jared Allen would shoot whiskey in his neck with a syringe
He doesn’t drink anyone..horrible.
Jared Allen did all the make up on Planet of the Apes.
I’ve seen Jared Allen lift a mountain because he was bored.
Jared Allen taught me how to love a woman and scold a child.
Jared Allen a 10′ tall 2 ton monster that can eat a hammer and can take a shotgun blast standing.
jerk, you’re having conversation’s w/ yourself…tell the bad man to stop, hank baskett can’t hurt you anymore, let him go…let hime go
Jared Allen once inhaled a seagull.
Matty927 make Hoppy go away, I dare you. Eat it.
Take one of the WR out and add P/K Steven Hauschka, he’s been pretty damn good and has a better (i.e younger) leg than Longwell.
there’s nothing to eat JP…I can’t
hi-de-dum
retsub is dumb
hi-de-dei
ole1 is high
matty927: Horse-ride it-mountains-stop bothering people-personality of a dead moth. Horrible.
4 ever is retarded. no team keeps to kickers
me?? bothering people?? how dare you say such things…you’re the one creating multiple personalities a la Hershall Walker…don’t do what the voices in your head compell you to do, you’re much better than that
Red Garrity, you are an idiot, and not even the least bit humorous.
Howzit DRed Garrity

He and Kenny Rogers must be highlighting each others hair tonight
[…] Brad Childress has decreed that no starters shall see action in tomorrow night’s preseason finale against the Dallas Cowboys, a move no doubt connected to the fast turn-around from Saturday’s game. Gus Frerotte will also be kept out of action, meaning the game will indeed be a showdown between John David Booty and Brooks Bollinger with the third and final QB slot at stake. The Vikings should try something novel here and throw the thing open to a fan vote. Maybe Booty and Bollinger could show off some other skills too, like Karaoke and tap-dancing. Anything to spruce up what is sure to be a bloody dreadful game. Recent Posts…Fason Joins WilliamsonGet Ready for Booty v.

Jared Allen named the band Sha Na Na. They did not want to be called that.
Hey that’s pretty close.
I heard that you and James Patterson were looking to get an apartment together. Did you find someplace nice?
Ferguson will be on the active roster this year.
No. Patterson is a troublemaker and a loose cannon.
Maybe you 2 should get a place together. You’re the one that was longing for him to get on AV. I on the other hand can’t stand him and hope he gets banned again.
NEVER!
Unless he is good with children, because then he could babysit while the wife and I go out.
More like your wife will babysit while you and JP go out!!! JP=fansy boy.
JP is just like your average Joe, except your average Joe doesn’t grow a flower garden. JP aka Fansy Pants.
Horrible…..or terrible.
JP = Fansy Pants
HOPPY = Tony Pants
When the boogeyman goes to sleep at night, he checks under the bed for Jared Allen.

Duct tape is an excellent remedy for warts. (No kidding!) This guy needed a couple rolls a while back.
Indonesian Tree Man = King’s twin brother
Sorry.
I guess the hottest topic for Thursday’s game would be the big QB controversy for the #3 spot on the depth chart. (brother…
He is shunned in our village. No need to be sorry….
Minneapolis is no village!
It takes a village.
“It” being the Indonesian Tree Man. And I don’t know where he puts the village.
Watch it Hoppy.
Anybody here ever watched a KFAN broadcast from the State Fair? I’m thinking about taking in the Progrum on Friday…
People thought JP and HOPPY could never get an apartment and live together. Well look at them now…look at them now.
Bones why don’t you and JP go live in his precious little flower garden.
JP’s car is such a pile of crap that it triples in value when he fills it with gas.
Ha ha, look at us now, look at us now.
HORRIBLE.
You watch it JamesPatterson.
It goes up by 4X, not just 3X, get it straight Bones. Horrible.
Hoppy I going to bury you in the flower garden. What do you think of that?
Let the dirt shower over me!!!
and top it off with a gnome
Son of JP and HOPPY = bald gardener that dreams of someday owning the Dallas Mavericks
My car is actually made of gold with diamond wheels.
That’s more like it Richy.
JP’s last date = Raegan was in office.
I heard through “my sources” that the vikings are thinking on trading Adrian Peterson to philly for Hank Baskett. This rumor makes sense because Hank Baskett is on pace for a monster season. I’m so glad the vikings traded him in first place for Billy McMuffin, who is now carrying old McMuffins out to the dumpster. 1 billion Horribles and 2.5 million terribles.
Maybe Brian Reagan, hahahaahahahhahahhahahahahaahahhahahahahahaha.
How do you spell cat: K-a-t, I’m out of here. and as he walks by you he says, I know there was two T’s.
Revealed! JP’s swimming pool:

The yellow one is the sun, the yellow one is the sun…ALRIGHT!
Picture is wrong. Not enough 100’s.

What do I look like Hank Baskett?
I think we all know my childhood….
