Brad Childress should be a politician

Brad Childress has the "coachspeak" thing down. He was recently quoted as saying that he's not worried if left tackle Bryant McKinnie misses a few games due to a suspension because he's confident that the backups can get the job done. Oh really? Then how come they aren't starting for the Vikings, or another team?  I hope I'm wrong, and that Artis Hicks, Chase Johnson, Marcus Johnson, or someone else can step in and do the job. If not, Tavaris Jackson better grow eyes in the back of his head, or make sure the premiums on his life insurance policy are up to date.  Childress seems to have a bit of Dennis Green in him, in that he's said in the past that he prefers to take a "prospect" and "knock the edges off" and then in "two or three years you'll have something."  Uh-huh.  That's pretty rare. Vikings fans can remember some of Denny's "projects" who never amounted to anything, like Bernard Dafney and James Harris.  At least they're all getting to practice against Jared Allen; that should help somewhat...
