MANKATO, MN—Newly acquired Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Michael Jenkins told reporters Tuesday he was struggling to finish reading his new playbook, calling it tedious, unoriginal, and oftentimes "all over the place." "I've read a lot of playbooks, and I'm always paying closest attention to the receivers, and some of the things I'm seeing in here I don't think a wideout would actually do," said Jenkins, adding that in some places the playbook is completely contrived and boring, and that on several occasions he’s fallen asleep after reading just four or five pages. "Now the Falcons’ playbook, that was great. I couldn't put it down. I breezed through that baby in two nights and honestly found myself wanting to go back and read parts of it again." As of press time, Jenkins was attempting to watch Vikings game film but reportedly walked out of the projection room after just 10 minutes.

Considering the source, I think this would be more fit for the smack talk section

This is a placeholder

Are we sure Chilly and Bevell left.. lol.

Sounds like he is impressed with his choice of teams.

Well, to be fair, he was reading the playbook from LAST season.
Here's a few of the plays:
1st down.....Brett Favre tries to hand off to Adrian Peterson, but muffs the handoff and is sacked.
2nd down....Brett goes back to pass, and forgets who to throw the ball to and is sacked.
3rd down....Brett goes back to pass, has no one open, could run for 30 yards, but instead throws it to the opponent for an interception.

You can understand how tedious that could be.[grin1]

It's the Onion. Some of you may not get the humor in this. Jenkins is the WR the Vikings signed from Atlanta. Also from Atlanta is Vikings new OC Bill Musgrave. Jenkins knows the playbook as Musgrave was his OC from the past few years in ATL.

I think the article was mostly making fun of the tedious playbook Chilly had from last year.

He's actually been helping his teammates with the playbook.

And for some reason, you can't delete your own post if it happens to be the last post in the thread.. so I was stuck.
