Training Camp Master Thread

[PacificNorseWest]

There's a few new videos up on the Vikings app from today that I'm looking forward to watching. Zimmer, AP, Teddy.

Last year Price was looking like a nice pick-up in training camp. Fast forward a year and between stupid mistakes on Special Teams and off-field trouble, he's really not helping his case. Somebody needs to let him know that he's not good enough to keep screwing up the little things.

Honestly I half expected him to be cut already.. He better have a huge camp and preseason ...

Zimmer and Spielman main focus; has been on getting good football players, and community members.

Wallace has been working out and running with A.P. in Houston and Went to Miami and worked on his timing
with Bridgewater ...

Wallace seemed to have his fair share of critics in the NFL;however, from I can tell he is doing everything
possible to become a great asset to this team.

From what I understand he becomes more of an issue during the season if he's not getting his/the team isn't doing well. I don't know if that's considered "diva" WR behavior or simply ultra-competitive/frustration. I think there's a fine line there.

Love the videos of teddy. Asked how his offseason went and he replies good, I am hiding all my muscles under this sweatshirt. Then he hears a AP chant in the background and joins in!

There has to be a fine line, given how many talented pro WRs behave the same way.

I'm really hoping that Wallace is going into the season with something to prove both athletically and emotionally. It really appears as if the Vikings will be fielding improved skill positions on offense, meaning Wallace could end up being part of something special. That could influence his attitude in a positive way.

Mike Harris is in at right guard. Mike Zimmer said he planned to keep one player there through the first few days of camp. So Harris it is.

Mike Harris said coaches approached him about chance at RG near end of minicamp in June

We gave Clemmings and Thompson long looks at RG during OTAs and minicamp. Harris was exclusively at RT in minicamp with Loadholt out rehabbing his pec injury. Sounds like minicamp showed the coaches that both Clemmings and Thompson are too raw as rookies to be plugged in at RG to start camp. Not that surprising. Thought Harris did okay when he filled in at RG last year. Apparently we're no longer considering Clemmings at G and will stay at T.

I noticed that Shamar Stephen showed up at camp yesterday wearing a sleeve on his left knee. Doesn't sound like he's participating in the walkthrough. Household name Chigbo Anunoby was with Tom Johnson at DTs with the 2s. Apparently Stephen's knee is swollen but not considered serious.

Casey Matthews was placed on IR with a hip injury.

Fun video. There must be a lot of interesting things going on behind the scenes there

Harris filled in at RT not RG. And I think it all boils down to Zim and Norv just wanting to see all options at RG. Harris hasn't had the chance to try RG because Loadholt was out all camp. Now that he has the opportunity, they are going to give him a look. They don't want to start somebody when someone else on the roster could possibly be better. That's why everyone has gotten a fair shot there. I think it's a great strategy

Harris played RG against Buffalo last year.

I thought Harris signed elsewhere? Apparently I am mistaken...

Harris I believe got an offer from someone but the Vikings matched it, and he stayed here ...

. Running out of the slot, jumping in on gadget plays and working across the middle, Wallace is going to find the ball in his hands often and it might come at the disdain of Cordarrelle Patterson.

Pretty good read. Once again, Diggs is being talked about and it's in a great way. This article mentions him being the standout on Day 1 and Zimmer mentioned that in his presser as well. He was also running as the primary punt returner today. As I mentioned before, from a WR standpoint, Adam Thielen is going to have his hands full.

Also, it's good to see Exum is stepping up. I always liked him coming out of college and thought it was a good value pick when we drafted him. That would be nice to see him take over the other safety spot.
