There seems to be conflicting reports. Mr. Norseman and Coach Zimmer are evidently watching different things.

The most important part of that (and any) report?

“It’s way, way, way early,” Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer told reporters

We hope Waynes becomes a shutdown corner opposite of Xavier, but we know it will take time... looking forward to watching him develop. My favorite thing about him at #11? He appears eminently coachable, which is particularly crucial when you have such a great DB coach.

Pulling for this guy. Any chance he makes the team?

The best day to me was had by Edmond Robinson, the 7th-round linebacker from Newberry. I thought he did a fantastic job using his length to disrupt tight ends in 11s and in one-on-ones and he was consistently in position.

I heard Diggs looked very good at receiver...against Waynes. So take that how you want.

Nope, it seems legit. It was mentioned in the report from dailynorseman posted earlier in this thread http://www.dailynorseman.com/2015/5/9/8 ... ice-review

Also Paul Allen from KFAN, (who's a huge Viking Homer)said the same thing in a thread on the forum they have on Kfans site. If Paul Allen is not sugar coating it, it must've been kinda rough.

Diggs looked very good from reports and video.

Quick, and ran crisp sharp routes. Caught the ball with soft hands
away from body.

If Diggs can crack the starting lineup he has rookie of the year potential, his WR coach at Maryland was ex-nfl WR Keenan McCardell so I'm sure he's pretty polished for a rookie. He's the type of WR I get excited about (compared to the guys like Patterson) knowing he can come into a good system like Norv's with Teddy at QB and be where we need him to be on a play. Also seems pretty intelligent so I bet he'll be a quick study with the playbook too.

I don't think this is a knock on Waynes, Diggs isn't really the WR we'd match him up against in real games and I think Diggs is very much the real deal. If he was burning Munnerlyn in the slot we'd have more of a story. Waynes is gonna take a little bit of time to adjust.

Heard it on KFAN.
Stating how a player looked = "getting shots in".

Not sure where to post this. Fusco at left guard? Just would not make any sense to me.

George Edwards says Crighton is looking to outwork everyone and is much more comfortable with technical
aspects of game and defense ... good to hear ... for sure
