Just impressive. 3:21 PM · Jun 5, 2024 · I guess I dont know how to copy and paste embedded tweets anymore. We had to tell Steve how to do it last week I believe, so it's in a thread here somewhere recently. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Like Penix, it's better to get this stuff out now than when they are finally called upon in a game that matters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrplChilPill Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Slightly off topic....but who plays in the pre season games? How much do you risk Darnold or McCarthy getting hurt behind back up OL? Normally the starter only plays less than half the time, but Darnold hasn't been in the system....OTOH, McCarthy isn't the normal backup that you just put out there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that we won't see the starters like Darnold. I do still think they put McCarthy out there because he still needs the live reps regardless of who the OL is because he's a rookie. If he gets hurt, he gets hurt, but you can't have him not get live reps just because he's the future...he needs to be out there to get grasp of the speed of the game. I'd expect that he'll get the 2nd team OL though, instead of the 3rd team OL. It's a much easier risk to take to have either Mullens or Hall play behind the 3rd team OL because they already have experience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Darnold, like Cousins, will get the reps during the joint practices. McCarthy will get the live game reps during the preseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Quote Who else should fans be keeping their eyes on? Two names. One defender and one skill player. Theo Jackson and Ty Chandler. Countless staffers and players brought up Jackson’s name this week. He filled in for some of safety Cam Bynum’s first-team snaps when he left the field for a brief rest. Metellus even said, “I’ve been telling (Jackson) for a few weeks, ‘You’ve been balling.’” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5547122/2024/06/07/vikings-minicamp-jj-mccarthy-sam-darnold/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Darnold usually does well throwing to his top target. That's never been an issue for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
