MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Don't forget the fullbacks!

While the Minnesota Vikings are set to grind up real estate with their potent 1-2 RB punch featuring Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor, don't expect that the purple's fullbacks will disappear to some Orlando vacation home rental.
Nope, players like Tony Richardson may not be getting many carries, but don't expect them to fade into the turf. Not with what offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has in mind.
"The fullback is kind of a dying position, but it's a position that's of importance to the West Coast offense," Bevell told TwinCiites.com. "The good thing is I don't have to make the roster. ... If you have one fullback (or) you have two fullbacks, that kind of shapes some of the things that you're going to do."
There are currently three fullbacks on the Vikings' training camp roster. Richardson would seem to be a lock. Jeff Dugan will be fighting to prove he deserves to hang around, also.
