Thanks DP
Still concerned about Kendrick's...sounds like he tweaked something. Lets see when he gets back into practice.

Still sounds like both our O tackles need to up their game a little.

Kearse & Mac are doing good. Kearse sounds like he could be a beast.

lol...used a punting machine in last nights scrimmage. Must not want to show all of Lockes talent. :whistle:

Locke has reportedly been pretty darn good. Preseason will tell a lot.

Yes, exterior pressure is a concern, though Matt has been better. If you can only have one, I'd prefer a clean interior pocket.

I want to see Kearse in the preseason for sure. Harris has been good too.

We'll see when Kendricks is back but no noticeable limp is a good sign.

In Locke's defense (and Walsh and BW for that matter), the Vikings only played 1 game indoors in 2015 if memory serves. I think playing indoors will do wonders for the kicking game and deep balls.

If Kendrick's needs to take a few days off to get back healthy . I wonder if we will see a little more of Brothers. I really haven't heard much about him in camp.

Realistically I think Brothers is playing for a practice squad spot.

That T.J. Clemmings is back at left tackle suggests his battle with Andre Smith has come to an end. #Vikings
#Vikings back on the field for morning walk-thru. Offensive line is Kalil, Boone, Berger, Fusco and Smith.
Berger wins center competition?

Both Shamar Stephen and Tom Johnson appear to be taking first-team reps in place of Sharrif Floyd, who appears to still be out.
T.J. Clemmings working at LT and Jeremiah Sirles at RT with the second team.
