offensive players contact list

[burnett]

This applies to QBs, RBs, TEs & whaddaya call those other guys, Receivers, right.

I am compiling a contact list of these players. Regardless of where you fit into the offensive organization, I need your number. Charlie, Jacob, Rick, Walter, Eric, Monte, Thomas, T.J., Ezra, Rivera, Mikey, Patrick, Brad, Sullivan, Travis, Ben, you get it. Excuse me if I didn't call your name, Mr. Smith (Congrats!), get on my list! If you are a returning Viking with a list of your own, please share.

We are getting to that point where we need to tighten up, on and OFF the field. Thanks!

I've only heard from Mikey, Rick & Ezra. Ez, have you seen any response on facebook? This Saturday's practice is going to take new shape. If Coach Stu is communicating off the field formation, play, or personnel info to anyone, you're going to want to be in the loop. This will help Saturday's (on field) practice run at it's best efficiency.

We are looking to break the offense into subsets to take advantage of having enough players to set up an extra station. Even if Coach Stu has your contact info, PLEAASE get your info to me. He put me in charge of this task and has got me doing up-downs for any player who isn't on my list! Those up-downs will be passed-through to you. In your player profile, it will be itemized as an administrative fee!! Get on it.

Thanks!!!

Go Vikings!!!

Ha! Lovin' the "administrative fee". Well stated. I'll repost your request on Facebook ASAP.

Vikings,

So far, so good. Going into the 4th quarter of our preseason, guys, and we need all offensive players on deck.

If I were an offensive coach heading up my own squad and my roster options simply reflected the guys who showed up on my list of players, my offensive squad would list these players (in alphabetical order by first name.....)

Ben Kruse
Brad Thornton
Brandon Judy
Erik Emme
Ezra Ferguson
Glenn Burnett
John Monte
Juan Villegas
Kevin Grant
Markiese Smith
Michael Swale
Patrick McGehee
Patrick Sullivan
Rick Bradford
T. J. Henning
Tanner Wing
Traver Gloveris

Though there was only a few replies to this online thread, I've had email responses from 10 of the guys listed.

Someone please have Charlie, Jake and Rich (and anyone else) pass along their contact info. If you're new to the offense or a defensive player being flexible, please include your O/D position(s).

Also, it's my understanding Kevin Grant is a lineman. Is that correct? If so, please put a call out for all linemen (especially those who can help us dominate the offensive line of scrimmage) to share their contact info.

Thank you all for contributing.

GO VIKINGS!!

Yes, I'm a lineman...... I suggest contacting Debbie as I know that she and Rick Nye have been collecting contact info from all of the contract paperwork we signed at the tryout. This should be an easier way to gather the data instead of waiting for people to reply.

We could also form an offensive player group on Facebook to share info/chat/post dates. That way when there's something like this posted, we'll get notifications on our phones...... Just a thought. I know that a lot of guys don't remember to check this message board every day, I certainly don't. And if you're one of the few people on the planet without a FB account, get one.

As far as our line goes, we have vets that will be playing, we just need to get everyone out to practices. The long Saturday practices have been conflicting with work schedules.

-Myself- Veteran Guard/Tackle
-Burley Lockhart- Veteran Tackle/Guard
-Werner Grant- Veteran Guard
-Larry Ammons- Veteran Defensive Tackle that came out two Saturdays ago and played Center with us. I'm trying to convert to offense because of the need. I think he's down to help the team anyway he can.

I've played several years with each of these guys and I know that they're commited to playing. They all will be vital to our success.

Add this list to the few 2nd year and new guys that have been showing up, we should have a really solid line. We need to get our week night practices going asap so we can get reps as a whole unit. Reps are the key!
