No call on Anderson
September 1st, 2008 – 6:23 PM by Judd ZulgadThe agent for offensive tackle Willie Anderson said this evening that the Vikings have not called about the veteran who was released by the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.
“We haven’t been officially contacted by Minnesota, but we have been contacted by many, many teams, and I’m sure Minnesota is aware of his situation,” said Terry Bolar, who runs Prestige Sports International.
Bolar did not give a specific number of teams that have called about his client but said 12 was in the ballpark. Anderson, 33, is a 12-year veteran who had a streak of four consecutive Pro Bowl appearances ended last season when he was limited to seven games because of injury. He lost his starting job at right tackle this offseason to Stacy Andrews.
Some have wondered if the Vikings would consider adding Anderson. Ryan Cook is entering his second season as the Vikings’ starter at right tackle. Anderson’s success has come playing on the right side, so signing him to take over during left tackle Bryant McKinnie’s four-game suspension wouldn’t seem to be an option. Right now, the Vikings plan to play Artis Hicks at left tackle.
Bolar said Anderson is healthy and ready to go. “I think it will come down to the situation and we will evaluate what’s best for him,” Bolar said. “I’m sure something will take place.”

And you have Marcus Johnson playing behind Cook. Willie’s probably got better situations to go to
If the Dolphin have picked up three don’t they have to discard at some point?
I agree, there’s no pressing need for a RT right now and LT would only be for 4 weeks (and he’d be learning the plays for the first couple of weeks anyway). The only way this makes sense is to keep him away from Chicago…
The Vikes will not sign Willie. Why did the commish have to be so harsh on McKinnie anyway, they haven’t even come to a verdict in his case have they? Besides, McKins didn’t mean any harm, he was just gettin his swerve on a bit, it won’t happen again. Probably. Maybe.
Hey Todd Bouman got cut by the Jags.soooo I’m thinkin……. just kidding!
Cowboys and Forty Niners have their eyes on Todd Bouman. They both collect former Viking quarterbacks.
Ironic the one position where Vike still have a need is the one most heavily drafted. With six rookies starting at OT next week what happened to all the formers, exes and incumbents?
McKinnie’s loss for four games is no great loss in the pass protection department as he’s lousy against speed guys anyway but he’s very good run blocking and this loss will put more pressure on Jackson and the passing game in the toughest stretch of games the team will face all season with the Pukers in Lambeau, Indy at home, Carolina at home and TN on the road followed by NO in NO.

We don’t want Willie Anderson. He’s old, injury-prone, and would be playing out of position.
We?
TommyK’s link is pretty good and NOT unrelated. He says, “Without a doubt, this will be an exciting team to watch but I’m a bit skeptical with some of the over enthusiastic predictions.”
I’m a bit skeptical so far also.
Oops, sorry, 2Minute!
“We” are a bit skeptical so far also.
Please exclude me from “We”…..
Actually, I wouldn’t want Willie Anderson wearing purple either. He’s done, washed up, finished.
That’s right, “we”. I’m on the team baby!
Pulling somebody like Anderson off the scrap heap is no better than rolling with Hicks at left tackle. Either way, the quarterback will be wearing a bullseye on his back.
2MT: Your team will be both horrible and terrible after tonight’s draft.
Bones: Have you ever read any of your posts? They are just completely horrible. If I were you, I would take your computer and throw it out the window and never visit this blog again. You are horrible, horrible, horrible.
Oops, sorry, King!
“2Minute, Bones, and kennyrogers” are a bit skeptical. King, ah, um, well, not so much.
You’re going down Patterson.
Bones - You should just change your team name to the Raiders because you won’t do any better than Al Davis has the past 5 years.
Which way is down? You’re already horrible and on the bottom.
Maybe the Vikings should sign Bones. He’s used to getting in other peoples way. Bones=2 left hands.
Princess Patterson, are you finally feeling better today? Patterson=can’t drink.
King: I saw you were in Metal Gear Online the other day. What did you think?
Bones as a NFL GM:
Year 1= 3-13
Year 2= 1-15
Year 3= 0-16 Fired!
Dumpster League:
Year 1= 3-13
Year 2= 0-16….eaten by raccoons.
Hey Patterson, maybe you should stick to O’Doul’s. A little lady like yourself can’t be hung over all day!
You try drinking with HOPPY and see what happens Bones.
I’m impressed they brought me back for a third year after going 4-28…
I was signed in online, but was only playing the story mode. I haven’t played Metal Gear online yet…..
Nobody beats me!!! Except HOPPY. Buster is correct. I am the King.
If you get set up on MGO send me a message. My name is 19bones.
How far have you gotten in MGS4?
Just met Drebin. I don’t have enough time to play all the games I’ve got.
What does Buster know? There’s only room for one King….
# of Busters that it would take to equal one current Viking.
Ferguson 13.2
Berrian 14.74

I think Rice might even break Busters career games this year with 20. I never thought that record would go down. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I know what you mean King. There really isn’t enough time to get good enough to compete with the other online players because that’s all they do. Some of those guys on MGO have put in 500 hours+ which is kinda sad. It’s fun, but c’mon…
Yeah, I had that problem playing Battlefield Bad Co. online. You have a hard time competing with other players who have all the best weapons and such….
Bones + King=Huge videogame nerds. Wow.
JamesPatterson cheats at Quake II.
JamesPatterson cheats at Madden.
JamesPatterson also is a videogame nerd.
