Daily Norseman HUGE: Cardinals tipped off to our Run vs. Pass!!!

Hey Fellow Vikings Fans!

 

This is a potentially huge development from / explanation for last night's game (debacle?).  Apparently the Cardinals KNEW WHEN WE WERE GOING TO RUN VS. PASS based on the way Bryant McKinnie lined up his feet.  This is apparently no joke; they studied tape on him and noticed he had a "tell":

 

"Did McKinnie accidentally help Cardinals?"

"Boselli points out that (left tackle) Bryant McKinnie of the Vikings, he said that the Cardinals know when they're [the Vikings] going to pass because of his leg. He would have one of his legs back a little bit further. ... He said they know what's going to happen because they're looking at his feet and they can tell when it's a run and when it's a pass."

 

According to my football fanatic friend (Saints fan btw) this was on Dan Patrick's radio show today.  If this is true this is absolutely huge; on one hand they need to FIX THIS OR BENCH MCKINNIE.  There is no question on this.  Seriously, if anyone can make sure the Vikings brass (Chilly, Bevell, etc.) know about this, DO IT.  On the other hand, this MIGHT make us all feel a lot better about last night; we basically got dominated by the Cardinals D (only) because they (almost) cheated.  If we fix this, one would assume last nights game might have been very different.

 

It's hard for me to believe an NFL tackle could have such a huge flaw, but better we know about it now.  Your thoughts?!?  (PS - this is my first post of any kind on the site, long time lurker, SKOL VIKINGS!)
