You hope he's a stud when you spend a first round pick on a LG.  Early returns are looking great...  Think we got an ass kicker.

He's only going to look even better next to The Saw.....

Apparently had wrist surgery this morning and is going to miss a few weeks. Damn it!!

Yep. Will Ragatz @WillRagatz · 19m Kevin O’Connell said Donovan Jackson had wrist surgery this morning to address an injury he suffered against the Falcons. It was determined that he could play against the Bengals without risk of anything getting worse. Sounds like he might be out through the bye, though. But: Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN · 3m Vikings will be getting WR Jordan Addison back from suspension this week. Center Ryan Kelly (concussion) is also tracking to be back. Skunk bait also returns: Alec Lewis @alec_lewis · 19m Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said he's optimistic about C Ryan Kelly and [b]LT Justin Skule[/b] being available for Sunday in Dublin against the Steelers.

It's become musical chairs along the offensive line

Christ....I'm not a Brandel fan. Alec Lewis @alec_lewis · 16m Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell says G Blake Brandel will step in at left guard with Donovan Jackson out.

You gotta be F'ing kidding... I wonder why I feel like we cant have nice things - like ever?

The tough part is Jackson was starting to really come into his own, confident and laying the wood. He realizes he can not only play in the NFL but be pretty good, and KOC mentioned that he had that realization which is pivotal. He'll be back in not that long. As much as I dog Brandel, we could do worse. But he's a top-heavy lunger that ends up on the ground too damn much.
