I used McIntosh in a few mocks. He played 4-3 OLB and 3-4 ILB, and didnt look to good in the 3-4 but was an up and coming player in the 4-3. I think he would be a natural fit at Cover 2 MLB. I would be interested in this signing as a potential stop gap.

I hope they pick up every LB they can get their hands on to battle it out in camp! (Well, not every...) They need all the competition they can get this off-season...

McIntosh would be great competition for Erin Henderson.

The Vikings currently have nine linebackers on the roster.

I'd love to get McIntosh, he was someone I used in most of my Vikings mock, he is a good OLB in a 4-3 and that could move Erin Henderson into the middle and fix that questionmark.

Congrats to Jacobs for earning a spot out of the dozens of guys we had trying out.

I think McIntosh would add decent competition to the roster as a LB but he would need to also add to special teams coverage as well.

He's a defensive end that played for the Gophers last year. He's a near 300 pounder than ran a sub 4.8 40 yard dash and had a 35.5" vertical.

Better athlete than football player from what I remember seeing at the U.

The team we should move to LA instead of the Vikings.

They are tenants of a fairly new, expandable stadium that the Vikings used a few years ago, for a home game, and in which alcohol may be sold, per a recent law change.

Please define 'at'. Are the stands not part of the stadium? If not, how would 'at the stadium' exclude the stands?

So, mea culpa, for not being perfectly clear, for brevity's sake...

corrected: alcohol may now be consumed in certain parts of the stadium.

Perhaps you mean 'outside the stadium area'?

But,... this is WAAAAAAAY off topic.
