Vinny Ciurciu. Not Napoleon Harris or Dontarrious Thomas. David Herron is officially out. And so is Erin Henderson - as in out the door. Waived. Replaced on the roster by Rufus Alexander. We started the season with two Henderson brothers and now we have none. I expect the Bears to be passing a lot today meaning [...]

So sayeth the folks at Access Vikings . I kind of like this move, to be honest. We can't have Vinny Ciurciu out there at middle linebacker in crunch time. . .or at any other time, for that matter. Thomas, who the Vikings selected in the second round of the 2004 Draft, signed with the San Francisco 49ers as a free agent this off-season, but was released during Training Camp. The Vikings will have to...

Two punt return touchdowns for Reggie Bush in the second half and the Vikings are getting buried. I can’t believe how utterly pitiful the special teams coverage is for this team. It may be the worst in the history of the world. It can’t just be the injuries to Vinny Ciurciu and Heath Farwell. Adrian [...]

The Vikings announced four cuts today and none of them are particularly exciting (unless you were really rooting for Derrick Pope to unseat Vinny Ciurciu). The jettisoned players are: LB Derrick Pope OT Sean Dumford OT Brock Pasteur WR Daniel Davis This gives me a chance to post a revised roster plus depth chart modifications, including Eric Frampton’s promotion over [...]

Vikings linebacker Heath Farwell suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament on Friday and will miss the entire 2008 season. Backup linebackers Erin Henderson, Vinny Ciurciu, Derrick Pope and Rufus Alexander will see their playing time increase and are now happier than Zygi Wilf seeing himself on National TV during a game. Seriously, have you ever seen such a successful guy get so excited to see himself...
