Phil Loadholt retiring

Recommended Posts

Phil Loadholt has told the Vikings he plans to retire, a source confirmed.

Loadholt, 30, was placed on injured reserve in each of the previous two seasons, only playing in 11 of the team’s 32 regular-season games. In 2014, a torn pectoral ended his season after 11 games. In 2015, he tore his Achilles’ tendon during the preseason and was lost for the entire season.

Loadholt was back on the field for spring workouts and lined up as the first-team starting right tackle during practices open to the media. But after experiencing another injury-related setback in the past few weeks, the 6-foot-8, 345-pound tackle decided it was time to retire.

Loadholt, who took a pay cut in March to remain on the team, was slated to battle with free-agent addition Andre Smith to start at right tackle.

The Vikings drafted Loadholt in the second round in 2009 and he started right away. He missed just two games in his first five NFL seasons and was one of the NFL’s better right tackles before injuries derailed his career.

Loadholt has also been a respected voice in the Vikings locker room and a strong representative of the organization in the community.

ESPN first reported that Loadholt planned to retire from the NFL.

Better than both Remmers and Oher, just couldn't stay healthy.  A true Sooner.  Enjoy retirement, Phil.

I stand corrected. You and the girl that pretends to be a character from a TV show are the only ones posting non panther related poo on the main forum. 

Damn, you still didn't pay attention?  It was some dude named Arsen.

And another thread was posted about Elliot by some MC guy.  

So, yeah.  Not me and two other people.   

And Jeremy posted about Greg Hardy.  So there's 3 other people.  

He also posted about plain vs peanut M&M's.  But yeah, I'm the only one.  What a complete fail that is.

"I'm going to get butt hurt, and defend my OP that nobody gives a fug about, by pointing out that another poster (one much more respected than I),  posted about that idiot, Aldon Smith!!!

 

Where is the justice?

 

I demand fairness!!"

 

Yes, boys and girls, it's Monday on the huddle.

should I go back and edit it to "daily"? would that be more accurate?

Sure, checks activity.  Finds out he hasn't started a thread since Thursday, and before that July 19th.  So, wrong again.  Do you enjoy being wrong or something?

    • Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.     
    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
