  • Vikes just signed Dwight Smith

    Damn can they spend any more money????
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    He's not the player he used to be. I won't lose any sleep over it.

      He's only 27 and it adds depth. He can play corner also. As an opposing fan I wouldn't lose sleep over it either but it certainly doesn;t hurt their secondary.

        I dont think its that big of deal because its the vikings they have a glut of talent in their secondary and no LBs except grenway.

          Maybe they'll play a 4-1-6?

            Correct, it certainly doesn't hurt.

                  Actually Sherman used to bring just about everyone that ever got cut for a visit, ecspecially QB's.

                    Certainly doesn't hurt the Vikings, but I wouldn't get all bent out of shape about it. He played better than Tank Williams last year, so he's probably an upgrade there, but I don't think he's a real difference maker.

                      AKA the "Dime"

                      If you lose a DL you could even just play the "Quarter" - 3-1-7

                      Hell, nobody runs the damn ball anymore anyways...

                        DUH....of course, the dime. Actually I don't know what they'll do with Willie Offord now. He'll be relegated to special teams I guess.

                          I actually think this is a pretty good pickup. If there's one thing it's nearly impossible to have too many of, it's DB's

                            Apparently, he was going to be a backup for Tampa Bay. Is he even guaranteed a starting gig over Williams at this point? I guess it depends on the financial investment made to him.

                              Actually early word is Smith will start at FS and Sharper will move to SS.
                              3 year 6 mil with no signing bonus is what I hear. Not a huge investment.
