Onterrio (not the one in Canada either)

30 carries a game? What do you think Michael Bennet should do block for him? Yes Onterrio looked pretty good but you or I would probably look pretty good behind that line. And I'm not positive but didnt Mo williams have just about as high a per carry average? We know hes a solid "situation" player but hardly a super star talent. Bottom line is when Bennets healthy hes a top 5 back in the nfl with the ability to go the distance on any given run. Onterrio can be run down by a d-back. Bennet is the only Vike to beat moss in a race in practice.And the best part is how mad it makes the cheeseheads when "one of thier own" burns them for 6

Smith will be one of the top backs in the league once he matures. The vikes have so much talent at the back position that there will be a trade in the future and wether its bennett or smith in the backfield the vikes will have a top back. Smith wont get 30 carries a game but he will get around 10 and should be the third down back.

The Vikings are not my favorite team so I can be impartial when I say this. Bennett, when healthy is much more dangerous than Smith. Bennett has sprinters speed, and can break the big play anywhere on the field.

Onterio's rap in college was character issues. He had problems fumbling in the preseason, but only fumbled once the rest of the way. He needs to focus on these two issues and he will be the number two back for the Vikes.

What do you folks think of this young talent?

I personally hope he gets 30 carries a game. Based on his productivity on a per-carry basis last year, he has the potential to rock the NFL.

When is the last time we had any Viking back who carried consistantly 25-30 times per game? Foreman maybe. Smith won't even be the starter unless Bennett gets hurt again. And even then he'll share carries. He's talented, but won't be a featured back unless something drastic happens.
