@Andrew_Krammer Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) is also getting some work in before the game, which is an encouraging sign.

Is Teddy playing today?
Kalil out, I assume? Clemmings starting in his place?

What's everyone looking for in this one?
Me:
1) excited to see how the stadium looks on TV.
2) OL, of course. I'll be bracing myself for it.
3) Teddy. Will they keep routes short to not push his shoulder? Will he get time to set up and go through reads? Will he develop chemistry with Treadwell?
4) our WRs: especially Patterson and Treadwell; Diggs and Johnson too.
5) Trae Waynes.
6) LBs--finally with Kendricks: will they look more solid?

I'm looking for most of the same things you listed. I'd like to see them use Patterson quite a bit, just so we can get a feel for where his game is at this point. I'm definitely curious about the first part of #3. Will that shoulder be a factor?
I'd like to see 4 quarters of really good run defense from the Vikes. That's an area of concern to me.
I'm curious about the safeties too. As far as I know, that position across from Smith is still up for grabs.

why does AD dress for these games if it's known that he won't play?

Should have gotten a TD there. Not sure where Teddy was going on 3rd down there.
