Flying Sasser

It happened back when Tice was coach. Was good, but not great.

I liked it. He’s great as another tackle on the line or could be a short yardage fullback. I’m not sure how fast he is anymore; I’m sure Tahi is probably a wee bit faster, though not much. Jimmy K. is getting older. This makes me sad. I still have his jersey.

i wouldn’t make him the permanent fb but i think they should use him in that role more often.

i love when teams line up and basically tell the defense what they’re going to do and dare them to stop it!

I thought AP didn’t like having a FB along with him in the back field? I think Kleinsasser does good where hes at so I wouldn’t change it

Yes we need to see him more at FB
No not all the time

We should use JimmyK at the H-back position where he lines up at FB on some plays and at TE on others. As I stated on an other post; use Dugan and JimmyK at H-back, get rid of the FBs, use the extra roster spot on one the WRs trying to make the team and activate Mills to see what he has to offer. Using one roster spot on a DT is a good idea as well.

Jimmy is the man, through and through.

I miss the days back when he was getting 2-3 touches a game, he has better hands than people realize.

But, I don’t know if he has the agility to be a solid fullback for AP. AP cuts too often, and needs to almost have a halfback as a blocker to account for his multiple direction changes.

Either that, or AP needs to learn to be more patient.

No way, Jose. Who would block at tight end like Jimmy does if we moved him to the backfield? To me, it’s like going into the Loki formation just so I could get to see Favre at wideout.
 
Why would I want to take the best blocking tight end in the NFL and move him where it’s harder for him to take out two guys with one block, as I see him doing to spring AD on some of his longer runs?

I’d love seeing #40 catch more passes, but why make him run another three extra yards at this point in his career just to get open for that?

The rumor that I hear is Broughton can actually catch a three yard-screen and not even fall down, although he hasn’t been used that way much as a pro. I’d check that out before I’d vote to move Kleinsasser to some position AD says he’s not too excited about.

I would like to see him used in the pass-game a little more, Jimmy has soft-hands. He’s not great for YAC, but we can still use him on some 3rd & shorts. As long as he’s passed the 1st-Down marker, who cares about YAC.

The Vikings have several athletes that can play multi-positions. Chilly’s High School playbook won’t lead us to the promise land unless we start moving some of these guys around. If we don’t change the game plan every week, than we can expect the same outcome every week.

Go Vikes!
