Its hard not to like Sherels. nice tackle.
Not yet. No Peterson. No Loadholt. Mckinnon had a decent last run.

I don't think so. We don't have our best player on the field. AD has shown over the years he can put up yards no matter how bad the rest of the team is. I think once he's in the backfield our run game will improve 10 fold.

@eric_j_thompson Sherels with the special teams tackle because of course he's going to make this team again because he is immortal.

I don't think losing Loadholt can be overstated. He was going to anchor that side and has looked great in camp. I'm super bummed.

Wayne better start playing the whole games from here on out, cause he is missing something.

So apparently the wondrous Vikings Entertainment Network didn't show two plays... that's why I was confused.

Edit: Replied to the wrong post. It's the preseason for all of us... :confused:

Other then Waynes, the D looked better that series. They started off slow.
