Good Morning!
It’s recreation day for the Vikings second preseason recreation, with the starters anticipated to see their first motion of the yr this needs to be an effective way to guage the season…or in no way because it’s preseason with benign offenses and vanilla defenses. I’ll be working immediately however gamers I’ll be trying to make an influence:
1) Michael Pierce-it’s his first recreation with the Vikings since he opted out final yr, stories within the media point out he’s wholesome and faster than marketed.
2) Oli Udoh-he’s the beginning proper guard despite the fact that he hasn’t performed the place earlier than, I’m hoping for league common from him…which might be an enchancment.
3) ISM-he had a variety of good press and a shoutout from HC Mike Zimmer however didn’t play properly final week, he might cement a roster spot with some high quality play on offense and particular groups.
4) Kellen Mond-now that he’s over the plague and had some apply time will he get some run with the second crew and might he present one thing this week?
In keeping with any preseason recreation, I’m hoping for no accidents for both crew together with a entertaining contest. Since we’ll be having recreation threads and different articles I’ll be posting a Sunday open thread for the standard complaining, gifs and shenanigans.
