Vikings interested in another safety

The Vikings were one of three teams that expressed an interest in Nick Sorensen, a safety who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars last week.

The website Pro Football Talk first reported the Vikings' interest, and agent Ron del Duca told the Pioneer Press this morning that Sorensen will work out Monday or Tuesday at Winter Park.

Sorensen, who started his career at Virginia Tech as a quarterback, enters his seventh season in the NFL. He was one of the Jaguars' special teams aces, which apparently is the reason the Vikings are interested.

The Vikings were shaky in coverage this preseason.

The interest in Sorensen is interesting, since they've got three players behind starters Dwight Smith and Darren Sharper. It appeared someone was going to be the odd man out, among Greg Blue, Mike Doss and Tank Williams. But does this mean that two are in trouble?

Blue was solid last season on special teams, although he isn't the surest of tacklers. Remarkably, none of these three players had a single special teams tackle during this preseason.

I think management is finally realizing Darren Sharper has lost a step and these other retreads are retreads for a reason. Can't the vikings draft a decent safety?

Sorenson is ST and ST only. With the Vikes cutting Owens and the general ineptitude of the backup DBs on special teams units, this move (if it happens) makes sense.

Speaking of special teams, I'm curious if the Vikes will take a look at any KR/PRs that get cut . . . it didn't seem to me that anyone they currently have stood out though whether or not someone who's been cut will be any better.

Also, would you be shocked if they pick up Dirk Johnson?

Whoops . . . I left out "it's *debatable*" from "whether or not someone who's been cut will be any better."

(e.g., Bethel Johnson, Eddie Drummond, Jeremy Bloom)

Also, any else notice that Ryan Hoag might make the Redskins???

No money? said he with a surprised http://startso11.info/jeczmien+na+oku.html look.. Considering that during the day our thoughts http://startso11.info/fundusze.tfi.html produce such a diversity of psychic acts--judgments, conclusions, contradictions, expectations, intentions, &c.. Now what I ask of you , and I don't want you to http://startso11.info/nimfa.html take it as in no ways personal , is--hev you your merridge-license with you? No, we heard the voice of Mr.. It hain't been used for nothin' yit, senct I built it two years ago. http://startso11.info/telfony.html. If you still love him? explained the Colonel, http://startso11.info/otwieracz.html actually blushing.. I was married http://startso11.info/www%2Cgadu-gadu.pl.html the first year of the war and living at the old Follinsbee place.. A thousand pardons--for--er--having http://startso11.info/w.yez.pl.html kept a lady waiting--er! But--er--congratulations of friends--and--er--courtesy due to them--er--interfered with--though perhaps only heightened--by procrastination--pleasure of--ha! And the Colonel completed his sentence with a gallant wave of his fat but white and well-kept hand.. The Major asked that he be sent up http://storyah44.info/przelicznik+megabajt%C3%B3w.html to his study.. She smiled http://rebestal.info/bigl.html as she thought of Ralph.. This is the whole dream, or, at all events, all that I can remember. http://startso11.info/www.restrykturyzacjaimoderniacjiarolnictwa.pl.html. Once more he lifted up his mighty voice: http://startso11.info/WWW+OTO+MOTO+.+PL.html Drunk, drunk, drunk, drer-unc, drer-unc, -erunc, -unc, -unc.. I have been above all anxious to awaken an interest in the problems to which the further analysis of the dreamwork leads and http://startso11.info/.grono.net.html to indicate the other themes which meet these on the way.. I am waiting, your Honor, for the--er--withdrawal by the defendant's counsel of the word 'tampering,' as refers to myself, and of 'impertinent,' as http://storyah44.info/pomorze+zachodnie.html refers to the sacred volumes.. In condensation we have already considered the case where two conceptions in the dream having something in common, some point of contact, are replaced in the dream content by a mixed image, where the distinct germ corresponds to what is common, http://startso11.info/www.para.html and the indistinct secondary modifications to what is distinctive.. He did not even http://startso11.info/www.cda.plo.html seem to realize that he had done anything extraordinary.. And preaching! what a luxury preaching was when I had on Sunday the whole result of an http://startso11.info/MARICA.html individual, personal week, from which to speak to a people whom all that week I had been meeting as hand-to-hand friend! I never tired on Sunday, and was in condition to leave the sermon at home, if I chose, and preach it extempore, as all men should do always.. But he did not find himself a http://startso11.info/www.mp4.com%2Cpl.html rich man; and the football has never come in his way again.. This brings up the question whether wishes arising from these different sources possess the same value for the dream, and http://startso11.info/instruktorzyolszty.trehost.pl.html whether they have the same power to incite a dream.. Hence every man's mistress is apt to be an enigma to http://startso11.info/www.gazeta+wyborcza+pl.html everybody else.. This is the principle of compression or condensation. http://storyah44.info/przedszkole+w+czerwiensku.html..
