Treadwell pushes Harris upfield forcing to flip hips then breaks into deep post for long completion #1on1s
Mackensie Alexander gets beat inside by Stoudermire. Not happy about it.
idk Charles Johnson has looked pretty alright in one on ones so far
Treadwell gets Xavier to bite deep while he stops short on a curl. Pass caught from Hill.

2016 Vikings Training Camp

Post by dead_poet »

Teddy finds diggs on long ball crowd goes wild
#Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon looks quick. Like he's on a different level than everyone else.
Edmond Robinson getting some looks with the 1's while Barr gets some rest. Nearly uses his length to leap and haul in an interception.
Laquon Treadwell now mixing in with the first-team offense. #Vikings
Thielen wins another battle on a post route. His route running looks really good.
Patterson down. Yelled in pain. Might just be a shot to the groin. Held on to the ball tho.
Cordarrelle Patterson is down looked to be hurt a good bit but now probably ok walking slowly

Thanks DP...WR is quiety becoming a strength. Wonder what the odds are of keeping 6 again, or of moving one of the guys near the bottom in return for a draft pick.

Harris and Exum switching off between second and third team at safety.
Man McKinnon looks great. Like no pads but man. Shifty, explosive etc etc
Teddy with a laser up the seam to Rudolph. An excellent throw and catch.
11s.. Teddy has time to step up and lays out a solid deep ball giving his WR a chance to go make a play.. Thielen can't make jump ball catch
Johnson beats Rhodes on a comeback. Battles for the ball and comes up with the catch.
Rhodes having a rough day...

Two completions in a row from Hill to Treadwell on underneath stuff.. Coverage by Price
Now rookie TE David Morgan getting in on the action.. Two completions in a row on underneath stuff from Stave (has a gun)
Stave does have nice velocity and when he can connect deep, he isn't too bad. Just inconsistent. Just fired a short one to Sinkfield.
Book on Stave thus far: big arm but inconsistent.

Need to get an update on CP84. Possible serious hand/wrist injury.

That would suck, especially if he's shown as much improvement as they've been hyping.

Hate to be looking for silver linings so immediately, but if the Vikings want to keep Patterson, they can probably re-sign him on the cheap given his lack of production over the last year, plus an injury this year.

Zimmer says he's not concerned with Patterson but I've learned not to trust him with injury stuff.
“He made a great catch and it wasn’t his left hand or wrist, I can tell you that,” Zimmer told KFAN-100.3 immediately after practice. “I don’t think it’s anything concerning, but they’re taking a look at it.”

We’re seeing all that OL depth evaporate before our eyes, and we haven’t even started the preseason yet.

Edit: Harris was expected to fight for time along the Vikings’ revamped offensive line. However, all we know about his situation at this point, according to A.J. Mansour of KFAN, is that whatever is ailing him has a chance to turn into a "long-term issue."

DP Zimmer wasn't concerned with Sully last year either.
