It was just a night practice but it sounds like after a slow start Browns looked pretty good. The Jake Browning era is about to begin.

In all seriousness I'm interested in seeing Browning in some preseason action. We are still 2 week away from guys getting out on the field so hopefully most everyone gets healthy.

Bisi out for the year with a torn ACL. It's too bad for him but fortunately the Vikings signed Westbrook and have some other interesting young players at that position. It will be interesting to see if the KJ Osborn "hype" is for real.

I think Bisi being out does hurt a little bit because of the young guys he was the guy that had actually played the most and I think had the skill set to be a decent replacement (has decent all around size/skills) if one of the top guys went down. I'd like to think someone will step up though but it's possible nobody will and obviously Bisi wasn't a completely proven guy or even a lock to make the roster.

Sucks for Bisi. What a bad break for him. The Vikings do have options at 3rd WR. Hopefully, someone stands out.

Udoh has been getting reps at RG. I like the kid and hope he sticks. Wyatt Davis has been getting reps at the center which is interesting, but it is likely to groom him as a backup.

I think David playing at C was partly because they needed another option due to injuries and yes based on what has been reported of the reps he is or isn't getting others including Udoh are well ahead of him. Udoh at RG gives me a little bit of hope and excitement.

Udoh at RG could be great if it works out. He has all the tools physically.

That would be a pretty big ass line except Bradbury which is ok.

Cousins and both backup QB's on COVID list. No biggie, good time to get it now and not during the season.

Jeff Gladney indicted for felony domestic violence, released by Vikings,

For the record I never wanted to draft this guy. You don't draft old guys in the 1st round.

Me neither. Antoine winfield Jr was sitting there for the taking. So disappointing.

This was certainly a Zimmer pick. We should have gone with Jaylon Johnson who is 2 years younger and was a better prospect. (no injuries and 2 inches taller to boot) He went to the Bears. I felt Cameron Dantzler was better than Gladney coming out of the draft.

Antoine Winfield Jr injury history worried me for a 1sst rounder. He landed in the perfect spot.
