Good for you Matt Birk!  IF you don't like the way this guy goes about his business on the playing field, then you just don't like football.
 
I guess Cory Withrow is the man.  He's nothing special.  An undersized guy who can longsnap in a pinch.  He's a willing special teamer, taking part in the wedge, but they're going to see a major drop off in the O line play without Birk calling the assignments.
 
If Minnesota thinks they're going to get by with Mike Rosenthal at RT and Adam Goldberg at LG, they've got another thing coming.  That MNF game in week 2 (?) against the Iggles last year, the tide completely turned when Goldberg came in to start at RT.  Probably a really nice kid, but he just can't play at this point.  It wasn't a lack of lateral mobility, it was a lack of anchor.

Not commenting against Birk's play, but just in the way it was so offhandedly commented what he wanted.

I sure wouldn't want to be Culpepper these days!
