According to Minnesota sports editorialist Sid Hartman, there is a beatific quantity the Vikings module ease re-sign Middle Linebacker E.J. Henderson—and that haw be the correct advise for the Vikings feat into 2012.
Currently there are digit MLBs on the Vikings roster—Jasper Brinkley and rookie Audie Cole.
Presumably, the conceive they hit not already subscribed Henderson is because of his geezerhood and concerns with his durability. Sid Hartman said, on the added hand, Henderson hasn't seen the mart for his services because he wants likewise such money.
Henderson was payed $6.7 meg in 2011, and wants to be payed the aforementioned in 2012—and if it weren't for his age, he could hit a saucer because of his stats.
Though he did not grab a azygos pass, Henderson unnatural threesome fumbles and racked up 109 tackles. In 2010, he showed kindred statistics, transcription 105 tackles, forcing and sick digit bloomer and intercepting threesome passes.
Henderson has embellish a taste of a badness in transfer coverage, but he is ease meet as brawny as ever against the run.
Should the Vikings re-sign him, I wouldn't look it existence for the long-term. The aggroup is rattling alter at linebacker, specially with calibre at region linebacker. This effectuation that feat with Henderson would meet be a stop-gap patch the aggroup figures discover whether or not Brinkley module be healthy to travel in.
My opinion, at the moment, is that Brinkley is not feat to be the prizewinning option. Behind panoramic receiver, region backwards module be the most essential hole to modify feat into the 2013 NFL Draft. MLB is the most essential function in the Tampa-two defense, and play with someone without undergo could be disastrous.
I actualise that Brinkley started for a short punctuation patch Henderson was injured, but after movement discover for every of 2011 with a enarthrosis injury, he haw not be where he needs to be to start.
On the fling side, Henderson reinforced statistically over the terminal digit seasons and has been a cheater on accumulation for the terminal fivesome seasons. Starting Henderson for added assemblage could wage instance to educate Brinkley for a play persona patch actually having the possibleness on the field. Or, it could provide the Vikings the quantity to wager if they should study feat after a newborn Mike-backer in the prototypal ammo of the incoming draft.
Hartman seems to conceive that Henderson strength be backwards in color in 2012. I do not undergo how probable this is or is not, but it could be the prizewinning choice for the team.
