2016 Vikings Training Camp

[jackal]

IMO this is the best wide out group the Vikings have had in a long time.. lets hope Teddy can get
some protection and the guys can catch the ball for him..

The OL is still my main concern ....

Anybody hear anything more on this?

Stefon Diggs to the trainer's tent. Didn't look like he was in pain but they are treating him. Don't know why.

From what I read he came back in and caught a pass.

That's good news!
Thanks



Zimmer drops four f bombs and a "####" in an animated coaching session about the importance of discipline.

Hill overthrow. It's like Cassel never left.



Stave throws the worst duck I've seen in camp to Sinkfield, who gets rocked by Kearse. Deflection.

Teddy steps around the pocket, avoids touch sack and lofts it to Wright, who beats Newman deep on a post. Cheers, etc

Theme of today is Teddy = Stud. Hill/Stave = God help us. Treadwell doing well. Alexander struggling.

This is not just going to be directed at you halfgiz, it is for everyone.

Just to save you some future anxiety (and everyone else), typically, just because a player is taken off the field by an athletic trainer/sports medicine personnel, doesn't necessarily mean anything serious has happened.

A lot of times, these things are minor. Their equipment is not fitting right. There could be some padding/protective/preventive equipment that is being applied to a player. There could be a quick evaluation that takes place if an athlete is complaining of something. It is not always detrimental to see an athlete being attended to by someone on the field/helped off the field.

Twitter has a bad way of misleading and causing over-reaction. Most of the time, the person tweeting the 'news' at practice has zero clue and/or credibility about medical issues. Simply put: They don't know a damn thing.

Anthony Harris is now getting safety reps with the second-team defense. Paired up with Michael Griffin. #Vikings

McKinnon with a smooth wheel route. Lamur had no chance. Hill hits him in stride. TD

I may have been behind in Diggs news.

Stefon Diggs didn't do much in the second half of practice, presumably due to an injury. Saw him trying to get loose on the sideline.

Mike Zimmer said Adrian Peterson is recovering from a pulled hamstring. Zimmer said Peterson will be fine.

For what it's worth...

Stefon Diggs is out snagging passes from the JUGGS machine after practice, so you probably shouldn't been too concerned about him.

Joel Stave doesn't belong in an arena league, let alone this one.

Probably will be a practice squad guy ...the Vikings must have seen something in him

Oh I have no doubt, the Pats even considered taking him at the bottom of the 3rd.

I just can't imagine why.. he is just awful.. awful.

Mike Zimmer said Matt Kalil looked very good yesterday and OL may be as good as he's seen in his time here. #Vikings
