I really wish we go with Vedvik as the kicker and Wile the punter but I just don't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I think the safest bet is to have Bailey kick and Vedvik punt. I don't trust Wile to be consistent enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious what about Bailey's year and practices as a Vikings player is any more trustworthy then Wile strictly as a punter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust him more based on his track record in Dallas. I discount his performance a little here, because of Wile being the common denominator in holding for Bailey and for Daniel Carlson.

I already assume moving on from Wile as a holder but as a punter he just seems more reliable then Bailey's seemingly having mental issues with kicking from the right hash in practices even when Wile is not holding for the kick.

vike daddy Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Dan Bailey didn’t miss Wednesday, nailing all six kicks he attempted in team sessions. Matt Wile held for the first three kicks when Bailey was good from 33, 39 and 42 yards. Chad Beebe replaced Wile later in practice for the final three attempts. Bailey was true from 44 and 46 yards before ending his day with a 50-yard attempt. https://www.vikings.com/news/vikings-kirk-cousins-stefon-diggs-connect-game-winning-td?sf217917502=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team cuts Wile to use Vedvik as the punter it would seem good to have Vedvik holding too. But, if Beebe is good enough at that I suppose that is fine too. I am just not used to the Vikings using a position player as the holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that used to happen all the time across the league. I think it’s a trend that has gone away with less and less practice time for players. The team needs their backup QB to focus as much as they can on the offensive game plan. While the specialists can spend all of practice working on their timing.
