According to Gun/Gretz Kawika Mitchell

philfree · 06-22-2005, 05:05 PM

Will be our MLB and there are no real competition to beat him out for the spot. Not even the Great Rich Scanlon! I was never down on Mitchell like a lot of people have been and felt like if he'd stay healthy he'd come around. So far this seems to be the case.

So what say the Planet about Mitchell and his apparent progress?

Too early to tell. Needs to make it through camp. Looked pretty good Saturday, though, from what little I could see.

Might be falling into Gunther's 3-4 year window that it takes LBs to really "get it".

You know that Gun/Pagac are just holding Gopher down.

We know it 'cause the Roys told us it's so.

No, no, you have it all wrong. The roids were telling us that they were holding Gopher down. It was hard to understand them, though, what with their mouths full and all.

I heard Scanlon is on the Atkins and working with a speed coach and will be auditioning soon for the open corner spot.

Kawika Mitchell needs to stay healthy in training camp. He hasn't made it through camp once since he got drafted. He always comes up lame with a pulled hamstring that keeps him out 2-3 weeks.

If he can stay healthy, let him have it. When it's all said and done, I think Mike Maslowski will give him a run for his money. Call me crazy...

If Maslowski can stay healthy throughout TC and Preseason, he will make the squad. Gun and DV LOVE HIM. If, and it's a big if, he can prove to be healthy, he'll make the 53 man roster. No doubt in my mind at all.

Hearing DV say "it will be very hard for him, very hard, he's way behind" in an interview this morning pretty much removed all doubt in my mind. I don't think he had the athletic ability to make the unit as it is right now before he got hurt two years ago.

We will have to wait and see. DV says a lot of shit he doesn't mean.

If that was true, and DV and Gun kept guys that contributed nothing to the team just because they loved them, they would have wasted second and third chances on Greg Robinson, Nate Hobgood-Chittick, errr... nevermind

He does need to stay healthy but last year he recieved a high ankle sprain about two weeks before the season started and that's what kept him out of the games he missed. The year before he did have hammy problems all through camp and into the season.

And that killed us last season because the coaching staff counted on Maz to come back, and he didn't. With Mitchell getting hurt, Beisel was forced to play MLB.

To be honest, Beisel looked better at MLB in TC than Mitchell did.

I don't think Beisel played MLB in TC he was working at LLB up until Mitchell was injured in the last preseason game. That's what I remember anyways. Beisel had two weeks from the last preseason game to the opener to make the change. He did a pretty good job all things considered.

Beisel played MLB during the KC Vs Vikes scrimmage in TC last season. I watched him with my own two eyes. I even talked to him about it at the Mall of America...
