2016 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes, etc)

I keep giving in to hope. I allowed it to be chipped away (again) following Ponder. I was ready to love again. I now know that was my mistake. Never again.

It feels like a step-father just came into my house while my real dad is in a coma.

I have trust issues.

I know that feeling. It's not easy to be a Vikings fan.

Thanks Jim.

I wonder who gets the last spot?

Thanks Jim.

Good question.

I also wonder if it will remain as is or if the Vikes might add/drop a player or two this week.

HardcoreVikesFan, here's an explanation for the open spot on the practice squad:

Chris Tomasson ‏@christomasson
The #Vikings kept practice squad spot open for Isaac Fruechte but he opted for Lions, so that's why Minny now has 9 on squad. Will add 1

Chris Tomasson ‏@christomasson
Isaac Fruechte on going to Lions ''It was just better odds The Lions have 4 receivers and the Vikings have six"

Is Ellison eligible?

[Ohjay]

Last spot on the PS has supposedly gone to safety Shamiel Gary. No official announcement though that I'm aware of.

From twitter:

Congratulations to #TeamDEC client @sgary_7 on signing with @Vikings practice squad

[Mothman]

Is Ellison eligible?

No, he's spent too much time on the active roster.

Mike Zimmer would not name his Week 1 starter today. Said both Hill and Bradford will get first-team reps in practice this week. #Vikings

Bears signed QB Matt Barkley to the practice squad. Bears are having some impressive signings.

Barkley is an impressive signing???

They also got rid of the best kicker they ever had, and one of the best ever, without another option.

They signed Connor Barth

They signed Connor Barth

I'm not sure he is better than Gould, unless Gould is missing his kicking leg. It seems like an odd scenario, IMO.
