Transaction Alert!
The Rams drafted Troy Smith but placed him on the trading block because they have Marc Bulger appearantly so I picked him up to help out the Vikings passing game.

Trade Details
Vikings sent ::
2nd Round Pick - 2010 Draft
Eddie Sawyer - Reciever - 81ov. - age 25 - 91 speed - 84 catching

Rams sent ::
Troy Smith - Quarterback -age 24 - 81ov. - Throwing Power 89 - Accuracy - 81

Even trade and does not hurt St.Louis, Gives them back the draft pick they used in the 2009 draft and gives them a sold second/third string reciever to complement Torry Holt (96ov.) and Kevin Curtis (83ov.)

This is the Vikings only trade for the season. Any other transactions will only be free agent pick ups and cuts.

Regular Season - Week One

It looks like the coach was not happy going into the season with Tarvaris as our starting quarterback so he had our general manager work out a deal with the Rams which sent Troy Smith over to us and sent out a 2nd round pick a long side reciever Eddie Sawyer.

Not even Troy could save us this week. Our defense somehow let Quincy Carter and the Bengal's offense come back in a game where at one point we led by 17 points. (Carson Palmer went down early in the third quarter) The final score was 17 to 20. Cinncinatti won off a field goal in the final seconds.

I will take some of the blame because I did slip up a few times but I was hoping my interception would have made up for it, I guess not.

On the day I managed one tackle and one interception. I also injured TJ on a play that would have giving the Bengals a first down off of one of their third downs.

Although we lost this game I dont think this is a view of things to come. Troy is still adjusting to the playbook and our defense is still getting comfortable with things. When its all said and done, I project us coming out with atleast 10 wins.

Regular Season - Week Two

We lost another close one today. Smith locked on a reciever late in the fourth rather then looking around to see who was open which set him up to get intercepted. Rookie mistake, hopefully he learns from it. The final score was Cardinals 20, Vikings 13.

I didn't get much done on the day either. Just one tackle and 77 return yards. I got a lot of work to do. My main goal right now is to help our team snag a win over the 49ers this week. Stats are the last thing on my mind.

I'll give you another update shortly. Coach may be making some key defensive adjustments, not sure what to expect yet.

Regular Season - Week Three & Four

It looks like coach will be making some changes at the quarterback position pretty soon. I think he should just wait till McCoy gets heathly to make a switch but its not my decision so oh well.

We lost our fourth game in a row this week to the Chicago Bears 17 to 21. The prior week we got destroyed loosing by over 30 points which is why I did not post anything. Pretty embarrasing.

In hopes of making things better on Defense coach moved me over to strong saftey and is starting Tanard Jackson at free saftey. Tanard has a lot of speed which critics have been saying is the key reason we keep getting burned deep.

Anyway Colt McCoy will be just about fully recovered in a couple of weeks so if Troy doesnt step up his game then there may be a new starter on the depth chart. Thats my prediction. Others are saying he may be starting Tarvaris Jackson but that is still in the air. I'll make sure to give everyone an update after our game against the Seahawks sunday.

Regular Season - Week Five & Six

After six weeks of football we are still winless and Colt McCoy is still out with an injury. One more loss and our playoff hopes are done. They are slim right now but I never like to count myself out till I am out.

Our defense has improved a lot, right now its the turn overs on offense that are killing us. Fumbles by A.P. and interceptions thrown by Troy Smith have ended so many games for us. Bad teams find ways to loose, I really dont want to call us a bad team but we look like one right now.

If we loose again i'll give you an update at the end of the year because it would be pointless to keep you updated on a loosing year.

Yo Dwg Rookie OVR: 2 Join Date: Mar 2008	Re: Matt Cotto of Auburn Transaction Alert! The Rams drafted Troy Smith but placed him on the trading block because they have Marc Bulger appearantly so I picked him up to help out the Vikings passing game. Trade Details Vikings sent :: 2nd Round Pick - 2010 Draft Eddie Sawyer - Reciever - 81ov. - age 25 - 91 speed - 84 catching Rams sent :: Troy Smith - Quarterback -age 24 - 81ov. - Throwing Power 89 - Accuracy - 81 Even trade and does not hurt St.Louis, Gives them back the draft pick they used in the 2009 draft and gives them a sold second/third string reciever to complement Torry Holt (96ov.) and Kevin Curtis (83ov.) This is the Vikings only trade for the season. Any other transactions will only be free agent pick ups and cuts.

Yo Dwg Rookie OVR: 2 Join Date: Mar 2008	Re: Matt Cotto of Auburn *Regular Season - Week One* It looks like the coach was not happy going into the season with Tarvaris as our starting quarterback so he had our general manager work out a deal with the Rams which sent Troy Smith over to us and sent out a 2nd round pick a long side reciever Eddie Sawyer. Not even Troy could save us this week. Our defense somehow let Quincy Carter and the Bengal's offense come back in a game where at one point we led by 17 points. (Carson Palmer went down early in the third quarter) The final score was 17 to 20. Cinncinatti won off a field goal in the final seconds. I will take some of the blame because I did slip up a few times but I was hoping my interception would have made up for it, I guess not. On the day I managed one tackle and one interception. I also injured TJ on a play that would have giving the Bengals a first down off of one of their third downs. Although we lost this game I dont think this is a view of things to come. Troy is still adjusting to the playbook and our defense is still getting comfortable with things. When its all said and done, I project us coming out with atleast 10 wins. http://mattcotto.tripod.com

Yo Dwg Rookie OVR: 2 Join Date: Mar 2008	Re: Matt Cotto of Auburn Regular Season - Week Two We lost another close one today. Smith locked on a reciever late in the fourth rather then looking around to see who was open which set him up to get intercepted. Rookie mistake, hopefully he learns from it. The final score was Cardinals 20, Vikings 13. I didn't get much done on the day either. Just one tackle and 77 return yards. I got a lot of work to do. My main goal right now is to help our team snag a win over the 49ers this week. Stats are the last thing on my mind. I'll give you another update shortly. Coach may be making some key defensive adjustments, not sure what to expect yet.

Yo Dwg Rookie OVR: 2 Join Date: Mar 2008	Re: Matt Cotto of Auburn Regular Season - Week Three & Four It looks like coach will be making some changes at the quarterback position pretty soon. I think he should just wait till McCoy gets heathly to make a switch but its not my decision so oh well. We lost our fourth game in a row this week to the Chicago Bears 17 to 21. The prior week we got destroyed loosing by over 30 points which is why I did not post anything. Pretty embarrasing. In hopes of making things better on Defense coach moved me over to strong saftey and is starting Tanard Jackson at free saftey. Tanard has a lot of speed which critics have been saying is the key reason we keep getting burned deep. Anyway Colt McCoy will be just about fully recovered in a couple of weeks so if Troy doesnt step up his game then there may be a new starter on the depth chart. Thats my prediction. Others are saying he may be starting Tarvaris Jackson but that is still in the air. I'll make sure to give everyone an update after our game against the Seahawks sunday.
