vike daddy Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Will Reichard, whom the Vikings drafted in the sixth round out of Alabama, hasn't taken long to impress coaches and teammates. Special Teams Coordinator Matt Daniels: "When he first came in here, he understood what he was up against. The job wasn't just going to be given to him because he was a draft pick. He truly wanted to earn the respect of his teammates and win the job." "We got to a point, obviously, where there were some roster changes that needed to happen, and as a result, we had to make that move. But Will has done an unbelievable job since he's gotten here. You've all kind of gotten a good look what he's capable of doing." "He's a guy that really maintains a good, neutral mindset. You truly never know if he's in a good mood or when he's in a bad mood. You know, he can go perfect one day and he's still just even-keel. It's like, 'That was a good day,' and he'll tell you, 'Oh, on a scale of 1-10, that was a five.' 'You went perfect every ball and went all the way back to 60,' and he's like, 'Nah, that wasn't good enough.' He has expectations. He has high standards." Asked if he's counting down the days to Minnesota's first preseason game, Reichard noted he's not in any rush with the process but was looking forward to heading to U.S. Bank Stadium Wednesday afternoon with Daniels, long snapper Andrew DePaola and punters Ryan Wright and Seth Vernon. "We're going to the stadium to kick, and it'll be the first time I can get in there," he said. "And then, we'll just take it day by day." https://www.vikings.com/news/will-reichard-kicker-competition-impress-mindset-approach Edited July 31 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there'd be an effort to keep that under wraps given it's an entirely new strategy that no one has had to plan for in the past? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll have to wait until our preseason games to see what Coach Daniels has cooked up for the new kick offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I'm interested to see how Reichard's career shakes out in comparison to Little and Karty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 The Rams are down to one kicker on their 90-man roster. The team announced on Tuesday that they have waived Tanner Brown.
