With that being said we could still probally use him in Washington. He's kinda old but a 1 year deal could never hurt lol. He helped open some pretty mean holes for AP past few years. I'm just not completly sold on our OL but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe.

Umm, unless you have noticed, it's rather LATE to be trying to whip someone into decent shape now. This guy truly was a bucket of lard last season; he balloned up to 350 or 360!!!!

Oh, and it seems I was correct about the Vikes OL not that good, if you remember Ruhskins.

"Ballooned up"?....350 to 360.... that's water weight... water weight.
Weight loss and gaining to someone that size is different he can shake that.
This dude craps 10 pounds.

And of course its "late"... we just signed people last week but now its "late".
The lockout made everything "late"
Obviously we won't sign him but if we have OL problems he coulda been POSSIBLY the help we need.

And the Viks line wasn't BAD... maybe not Great but definetly good and good enough

Boy you're really trying to justify signing Mount McKinnie. Dude weighed almost 400 pounds when he showed up for Vikes training camp. I know we like to call linemen fat boys but there's gotta be athleticism involved, and I'm sure McKinnie's got just about as much athleticism as Jabba the Hut. And his work ethic is obviously highly questionable. What kind of player blows off the Pro Bowl to spend time at a strip club?

I don't care enough to really TRY.
I know.. and you know we won't sign him. Like I originally said its out of the question.
But if we have protection issues this year you and I know "mount mckinnie" was out there.. and he coulda played guard.
No justfication needed. One mans opinion.. he's a good run blocker.

He's not a ****ing fit here. The ZBS prefers athletic guys, no matter how big they are(size IS a plus if it isn't fat or "water"), but WHEN TRAINED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS are telling him he's overweight and he's got too much cholesterol, then you know that he's been downing the bacon and burgers like there's no tommorrow. Not only that, the ZBS is about "passing" the guy off so that there's a crease.

Your probally right.
But u need to work on gettin folks to agree with you instead of "blasting". Take it easy.
