I hope Turner has an option package for McKinnon, or some variation with him lined up in the backfield taking a direct snap. It was all the rage a couple years ago, but we never really got to enjoy that.

Change of pace type to backup / compliment Adrian Peterson and may also get a look on defense.

I was wondering where he got that from, has anybody heard anything like that? He probably has the athleticism for a DB, but I assume he didn't pull that out his ass and I was wondering what the source of that speculation is

Some teams were looking at him as a corner.

I thought we should have tried the triple option with Joe Webb and a combination of Peterson, Gerhart and Harvin in the backfield. I thought it would have been a pretty cool change of pace.
