What the hell happened to Swain? Did he trip delivering water to the coaches?

Never liked the Swain move. Ruvell would at least had contributed to the offense.

I second the Eddie Drummond nomination. Someone call up Az Hakim see if he's available :P

EDIT: Jake Allen is on the practice squad. We also have Lumpkin. Either of these two handle the KR duties?

Losing Finley is a huge blow. There is nobody on the Vikings' defense that can matchup with him.

A long shot is better than OUT. I'm hoping Finley plays and that's a bummer about Swain.

Tauscher and Green are cleared to play!!

edit, Shaun Bodiford?
Jerry Porter?
Joey Galloway?
Ike Hilliard?
Dante Hall is out there too, he can return kicks better than Jackson I would think lol

Dante Hall is so far over the hill that he can't even see it anymore.

Bodiford would be a decent returner, I guess.

Ike Hilliard has had a neck injuy which forced him to retire. He's on the coaching staff of an UFL team right now.

I'd put Jerry Porter and Joey Galloway in the same category as Dante Hall.

If you're just going to sign someone for the return game, Eddie Drummond is still out there. I know, he hasn't been that 2004 Pro Bowl guy since his injury in that same year, but he was still a pretty decent returner.

If you're just going with signing another WR, I'm pretty sure that it'd be Jake Allen. And maybe we'll resign Heckendorf to our PS.

I always liked Bodiford as a returner. North south guy. Gets an angle on the coverage units.

After thinking about it, Finley being out might hurt us more than we think this game. TEs have been killing the Vikes. Especially TEs like Vernon Davis and Jermichael Finley.

Donald Lee is an average TE, but nothing more than that. Not a weapon by any means. We could've used Finley so well in this game.

Lee can be a great weapon in the passing game, if he hangs onto the ball. Played sloppy against the Browns. Not much of a blocker though.
Havner ran a 4.7 40 at the combine. He's no Finley, but he can jet.

Since we are dropping names like candy.. For a couple game stretch on the receiving side.. Marvin Harrison. He is aged like some of the above names.

Want one that I think is a real possibility and could help the return game quite rapidly.. Kole Heckendorf. Spent camp here.. late cut and currently on the Lions PS..

Wouldn't mind signing Heck. Dude's legit. I'm thinking Jake Allen, though.

We'll probably get Allen called up.

Jake Allen is a "definite possibility" to be promoted for practice squad. "We'll definitely make an acquisition (at receiver)," McCarthy said.

Would we even be allowed to sign Heckendorf laterally to our practice squad? If we wanted to acquire him, wouldn't we have to sign him to the 53-man roster?
