Vikings 2017 Training Camp and Preseason Thread of Glory

Post by bleedspeed »

Lets get this party started.

We got him, - Chunky is in the house. I liked him in this draft and am glad we got him as a UFA. Another sign that Floyd is not going to make it back. Chunky looks like a practice squad type player for us.

Rodney Adams YouTube channel is kinda fun. He is doing a vblog on training and training camp etc. he has been working out with AT for months and it's fun to see a bunch of the young WRs interact with each other. Moritz is not a small human.

I had a really strange dream last night involving this site and the Vikings. :o

In the dream I was perusing this board and read a thread discussing the knife attack on Murray by Cook. Murray died before I woke up so that left the Vikings with only McKinnon at RB. Strangely it didn't even feel impossible.

HA - Murray starts the year on the PUP list. Seriously how did he get signed?

That's quite the dream SP.

What was mentioned somewhere That having a guy start on the PUP list allows you to be able to have them there later if you want that option. It probably doesn't mean anything too significant it's just good to have the option.

I just think it is crazy we signed a FA that is not ready to go for camp or be in any OTAs. Glad we drafted Cook.

I was expecting 24 hours Viking talk at this point on KFAN, but with the Wolves and Twins making waves it has been surprisingly quiet.

I was expecting 24 hours Viking talk at this point on KFAN, but with the Wolves and Twins making waves it has been suprisingly quiet. Then I saw this.

Sharriff might be able to play. That would be a great surprise.

Judd drives me crazy sometimes but he does some good takes at times. I disagree with this one. How many teams have good backup plays for LT? Not many. The Vikings are in much better shape than last year where they they basically had absolutely nothing. Remmers played LT last year for Carolina and while he was bad he would probably be decent enough to give them a chance. Hill Seems to be a legit LT project and I've read some people with the Vikings think he could actually develop into a starter there. RT they have Sirles as an option and replacing a RT is not quite as dire as a LT. I'm not suggesting the Vikings have an Iron clad line but it's more than the duct tape and a prayer Judd puts forth in this article.
