    Koren has turned out to be a big pickup for the Vikes. I had a feeling he would make an impact, it just took longer than I expected. We need to lock him up long term now.

    He has been a surprise but not a big surprise. He will have to be a priority in the offseason.

    He's really surpised me this year. He's got the speed too be a down the field threat as well. Great risk that paid off.

    They will lock him up after the season...he's played very well and deserves a healthy contract.

    I'm still wondering - what happened to Burleson? The guy has a ton of potential, but has kind of dissappeared this year.

    Another big day for KoRo. He had a nice end around TD run, and a huge KR to the 25 yd line. He also shouldve had a long TD catch as well, but he bobbled the ball and dropped it. But a nice day for a player on a team that needed a playmaker on offense to step up and be explosive, and he has certainly done that during the 6 game win streak. Kudos, KoRo

    Dallas has an issue this year, where they have three decent receivers and all are really #2 receivers. There is no #1. You can also add Witten in there.

    Minnesota really has the same problem and even more. Burleson, Taylor, Williamson, Robinson....throw in Wiggins. Sometimes its nice to have a #1, and sometimes its nice to have a lot of smaller weapons where the D really doesn't know where the ball is going at crunch-time.

    I wouldn't worry about the stats so much. This is a different offense, and there aren't huge passing games. I would think spreading the ball around is just going to make a few people disappear for a couple games at a time.

    Yet another Free Agent TT had the chance to pick up (i believe the Vikings released him and then quickly resigned shortly after week 1), He's a good player with some off field problems but a good player none the less

    The Packers actually offered KoRo TWICE as much money as he was getting from the Vikings. However, since Tice was the one to take a chance on Robinson, he felt a sense of loyalty to the Vikings and turned down the extra money.

    I gotta say, for as harsh as I can be on Tice, he has brought in some good players (Antoine Winfield...)

    Hmmm I guess I shoulden't blame TT for this one then.

    </div>

    And yet he also has brought in some very bad players as well...(Henri Crockett, Kenny Mixon, Denard Walker, Ken Irvin)

    When did Koren Robinson get the nickname KoRo? I never heard that name when he was with the Seahawks.

    Damn, it's seems like everytime when a player in Seattle does bad, when he gets traded he does great. :x
