Not very encouraging from a OL standpoint...Pocket collapsing ?
OTH D line seems solid and added some more speed rushers with Crighton and Hunter
I wouldn't take much from those early practices with regards to .. Most anything, really. Things will be a bit different starting this afternoon when the pads go on. Should be more to go off of. Even then...the regular season can't get here soon enough. Everything prior to the real games feels somewhat like a farce.
SMH. Arif doesn't even have the decency to wear something respectable as he 'covers' the Vikings.
Maybe this raging too hard on the guy, but, for someone like Arif to be given a press pass to an exclusive NFL event, and then proceed to dress tacky is disrespectful in my opinion.
A Randy Moss fan for life. A Kevin Williams fan for life.

Josh Freeman's career is over. When you get cut by two teams without even a practice. I would rather see Tarvaris Jackson before Freeman.
Josh Freeman?
Is this real life?
lol, anyway...
Dolphins re-signed QB Josh Freeman.
It's an odd transaction as Freeman was just cut by the Dolphins on Friday. Regardless, he'll be a camp arm behind Ryan Tannehill, Matt Moore and McLeod Bethel-Thompson.

I just don't find him a very enjoyable or reliable source of info about the Vikes.
That's cool. I've grown pretty tired of Zulgad myself. Who are your favorites?[/quote]
At this point, I don't have many when it comes to the Vikes. Over the years, Pelissero and Siefert have been my favorites but neither is on the Vikes beat anymore, although both still write about them and I enjoy it when they do. Mark Craig is my favorite of the current beat writers.

He's hardly the first. Pelissero and Zulgad have done that in the past, too. I think it's being guilty of wanting to rely too much on his own evaluation (being proved "right") and his purple bias. If you don't only read Hasan and instead use his work as one part of your content consumption I find he provides a unique perspective. He certainly seems like he has more schematic insight than most beat writers. YMMV
You'll no doubt be happy to hear that Hassan isn't the only sports writer that I read. But thanks for the advice.

I like Mark Craig as well. I still like Pelissero and Seifert when they write about the Vikings. And I like Andrew Krammer.

I don't see the issue with it, honestly.
Thanks DP and everyone else for posting the tweets.
