Now Cook Is On The Shelf

In the draft so many people have not even heard of Chris Cook. Now with the news that he will in all likelihood be missing the opener against the Saints. This is because he suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee Saturday in the Vikings' preseason victory over Seattle.


Cook was performing great in the preseason games. He has a nose for the ball and was tackling well, something that Vikings DBs have struggled with in recent years. Cook was the leading man the start at the CB spot opposite of Antonie.

This news is especially hard, because the Vikes just traded away veteran DB Benny Sapp in exchange for wide receiver Greg Camarillo. It will be something to see what the Vikes do with their depth chart now for the Defensive Backs.


Cook sure has impressed me so far, but I guess I will have to wait a bit til the fans will see him again.

The Corps In Question

 With the Vikings finding out earlier this week that they will be without their #1 Wide Receiver Sidney Rice for half the season. Since then the Vikes have picked up 2 brand new receivers Javon Walker and Greg Camarillo. It will be interesting to see how these guys can contribute to the tream. As of right now I have my money on Greg Camarillo. I do not think that this will have any affect on Favre. If the receiver is open he will throw to him as easy as that.  We will find out more tonight in the game, because this is where the starters will actually play a full half.

It sounds like that most of the starters will be playing a little bit. Many of the starters have been easing into the preseason, especially some of the bet besides Favre.

In other Viking news the Vikes will be taking a closer look to see of Chris Cook should be considered for the starting CB oppsong Winfield.
