Transactions Alert!

About the trade : Quarterback Colt McCoy was placed on I.R. for the season and starting quarterback Ken Russell is still injured for our week 2 match up so I looked around for a decent player who could come in and take the role of second string quarterback.

I found rookie QB Dan Gilbert, he was the third string quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens. I figured he deserved playing time and looked to be a perfect fit for my team. The Ravens second best reciever was 79ov. so I sent them one of my 4 80+ overall recievers. The complete trade is below.

Vikings send :
Jerry Porter - Reciever - 82ov.
2nd Round Draft Pick

Ravens send :
Dan Gilbert - Quarterback - 80ov.
4th Round Draft Pick

Other Transactions
Viking sign 70ov. Quarterback Josh Freeman to a one year deal. He was the last ranked QB in the free agents. He will be the third string QB on the depth chart for week 2.

Vikings sign 76ov. Reciever Sinorice Moss to a one year deal. He will be our 6th string reciever. (Roscoe Parrish will take over the whole left by Jerry Porter)

Week 2 News
Quarterback Ken Russell will be placed on the bench for two more weeks to give him some time to heal from his injury. Starting for us will be Dan Gilbert, At second string quarterback we will have Brodie Croyle. Our third stringer will be Josh Freeman.

Regular Season - Week Two

We beat the Bears! Win number one of the season baby woo woo! Yes I am pretty dang happy about this victory. The Bears wooped our tails last season and we finally got some pay back. The score was not much but still we got the job done. The final score was 14 to 13.

Speaking of getting the job done how about that new quarterback? Dan Gilbert showed a lot of potential today nailing 60% of his throws and my favorite stat of all, ZERO INTERCEPTIONS! That is something I have no seen since my Auburn days. Really can not wait to see what this kid does next week.

As for me I picked up 5 tackles and 4 sacks. Yea I was really annoyying the Bears O-line. I guess coach found a whole because he called the saftey blitz about 5 times today. I took out the QB on 4 of em so not a bad day at all.

I'll make sure to let you know how Gunner does sunday against the Lions. (Nick name for Gilbert I'm using, think it will stick?)

Regular Season - Week Three

Two in a row! Wow I think we found our starting quarterback of the future.. Dan Gilbert managed to throw a perfect last second pass to reciever Greg Jennings which won us the game. The final was 27 to 29. On the day Gunner threw 23 of 36 passes complete. I think he is the answer to our offense's prayers!

I did not have to huge of a day, just two tackles but thankfully I really didnt need to do much. As long as our offense keeps playing like they have been I don't see us missing the playoffs this year.

The Cardinals look to be a good challenge for us this week. They have two great recievers and an excellent defensive back field. The only down fall I see for them is at quarterback. I think we can capitolize on that. Catch ya later!

Regular Season - Week 4 & 5

Life changes in a flash. We lost in week four to the Cardinals 17 to 27 then we lost to the Dolphins in week 5 by 21 points. On top of that I sprained my elbow. The team trainner said i'll be out for about 3 weeks. Atleast I will only miss two games since we have a bye in week 8. Just trying to look on the bright side I guess.

It looks like we are going back to Russell after Gilbert's dramatic fall. Gilbert no doubt will be placed as our second string guy. He did snag us two wins but I dont believe anyone would start him right away after a couple of losses like that.

I am going to focus on recovering the next few weeks but once I come back I will make sure to give everyone an update. Hopefully I can win the returner job again, wish me luck!
