1-2 Punch The Minnesota Vikings are entering their final phases of training camp before they start their joint practices with the Jacksonville Jaguars...Dalvin Cook and Latavius MurrayCook has shown the same level of explosion that attracted the Vikings to draft him. He does not look like a player who has had an ACL tear the prior year http://www.vikingscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-trae-waynes-jersey , and is cutting violently without appearing to favor his knee. Latavius Murray also appears more smooth in his cuts, and he and Cook look like a dynamic tandem. There is quite a bit of camaraderie between the two as well. The two walked out on to the field together, and Cook asked beat reporters “Have you ever heard of a 1-2 punch?”The Offense had an off dayFumbled snaps and a drops were a couple of issues for the offense today. Vikings Offensive Coordinator John Defillipo yelled at the unit for fumbling 3 snaps. This is likely due to inexperience at the center position with Pat Elflein missing, but every position group on the offense struggled. Kirk Cousins was visibly frustrated with his mistakes, after having a particularly poor redzone drill period.Cousins is more mechanical than most quarterbacks, which showed in his quick release and timing while under pressure. There could be concern with Cousins ability to improvise, and create when mechanics are thrown off, or he misidentifies pressure from the opposing defense.Mike Hughes is specialThere are some players that step on to the field and it’s obvious they belong. This is true about the Vikings first round selection Mike Hughes. He looks like a veteran already, and might have the highest ceiling of every cornerback on the field...including Xavier Rhodes. One play that particularly stood out was a play during the redzone period. Hughes covered Adam Thielen, and was on top of him immediately out of his break. Thielen, one of the leagues best route runners, was completely taken out of the play. Hughes still has a lot to learn, but he is already better than a lot of the corners already on the Vikings roster.The RestThere were some other notable things from practice such as Kendall Wright making plays. He has been relatively quiet all training camp Cheap Mike Hughes Jersey , and Zimmer had a few disparaging comments about his inability to play special teams. Wright still needs to carve out a role for himself with guys like Brandon Zylstra, and Cayleb Jones making plays.Everson Griffen was not at practice, per Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune, he had an excused team absence.Terence Newman struggled quite a bit, but it does not seem to be an area of concern for the 40-year old vet.Reiff-Compton-Edison-Isidora-O’neill appears to be the starting offensive line rotation until Remmers, and Elflein return from injury.Laquon Treadwell is impressing every day, and continues to solidify himself as the teams wide receiver 3. He is making contested catches in redzone drills, and attacks the ball out while its in the air. The Vikings are giving him every opportunity to thrive, and he is clearly making the most out of it.Vikings Waive David Parry To Make Room For Tom Johnson Yesterday, it was reported that the Vikings were going to reunite with their old pal Tom Johnson. Today, the team made the move official, along with clearing the corresponding space on the roster.David Parry was the odd man out as he was officially waived on Wednesday morning. Parry played 26 snaps at defensive tackle over the first two games of the 2018 season for the Vikings and acquitted himself fairly well. He was credited with a solo tackle, an assisted tackle Cheap Dalvin Cook Jersey , and had a sack of Aaron Rodgers last Sunday against the Packers. However, when Johnson was brought back into the fold, Parry became expendable.Parry should be able to find work elsewhere in short order. He could be a helpful rotational piece on a lot of defensive lines throughout the league. Perhaps on a team like, I don’t know...maybe the Seahawks?For those of you scoring at home:The Vikings have now made three official roster changes since their game at Lambeau. Not all of the moves were made at the same time, but these are the net results:Aldrick Robinson signed, Stacy Coley waivedDan Bailey signed, Daniel Carlson waivedTom Johnson signed, David Parry waivedIf there were any lingering doubts about whether the Vikings are pushing all their chips in to make a run at the title this season, the moves this week should dispel them. It’s also obvious that players want to be a part of the title run, taking less money to join the team. Even with the Vikings up against the salary cap, they keep finding ways to tweak and improve their roster. « Transformers Universe gonna MCM Expolet's get this out of the way now: » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
