I think the Chargers will be an interesting test this weekend. I realize we blew them out last year (I wholly attribute this to me being at the game :P ) but did anyone see them against Arizona last week? I realize it's preseason, Palmer wasn't playing, etc., but they looked good on both sides of the ball.

Joe Berger back at starting center as daily rotation with John Sullivan continues. #Vikings

#Vikings waive cornerback Melvin White. Was hurt and didn't get into a preseason game.

Tony Sparano said starting C decision (Sully/Berger) likely made after Sunday “We got to decide & I would think that decision is coming soon.

If Berger beats out Sully is Sully gone? Or will we keep him because our line is so thin?
Berger is more interchangeable on the O line.

Yeah, Sully is safe. If either guard goes down Sully goes to C and Berger to that G spot.

Sounds like Kalil is a no go on Sunday.

Zimmer not concerned that if Kalil doesn't go Sunday vikings won't have entire starting offensive line likely in any preseason game.

Wonder who will get the start at LT?
