vike daddy Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Minnesota began its Organized Team Activity practices with versatile veteran Blake Brandel at left guard with the first-team grouping of LT Christian Darrisaw, C Garrett Bradbury, RG Ed Ingram and RT Brian O'Neill. In this week's session that was open to media members, veteran Dan Feeney was in at left guard for some reps with the first group. https://www.vikings.com/news/dalton-risner-guard-contract-extension-signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Strange that mandatory minicamp is 6/4 to 6/6 and then they have another session of OTA's 6/10 to 6/13. "Minnesota's schedule is different than previous years in that mandatory minicamp has been scheduled before the final week of OTAs." https://www.vikings.com/news/offseason-workout-program-ota-minicamp-dates-2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 McCarthy and Hall often are in the huddle together with 10 other players, showing the importance of being able to relay the plays in the huddle. Whoever is not taking that rep then takes a few steps back from the play and watches intently. vikings.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo Harry will be one of the first players to be cut. Vikings TE room is stacked. WR room is pretty lackluster after Jefferson and Addison. We should cut Harry now and bring in a veteran WR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Harry is pretty light for a TE (based on ESPN data, he's 225 pounds). But he's definitely athletic enough to be a mismatch for linebackers. I don't expect that he'll make the 53 man roster, but he could end up on the practice squad while he learns the position and bulks up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp, all 32 teams must abide by the set of guidelines set up by the NFL Players' Association. Among those guidelines is that "contact work" is not allowed, and "intensity and tempo of drills should be at a level conducive to learning, with player safety as the highest priority." O'Connell appreciates the way the team has abided by the rules and kept it top-of-mind to enter the summer break healthy. O'Connell: "It is a unique time of year where you're truly not as competitive as we'll be when training camp begins – when we can have pads on and the Guardian Caps and everything. So we have a mantra of taking care of each other out here. We still had a very competitive spring for it being a learning phase, especially in the passing game in those 7-on-7 periods. But there are still a few days to go, so I don't want to celebrate too early, but it's been a very productive spring, and we've been able to keep our guys coming back out there every day and working." https://www.vikings.com/news/dalton-risner-competitive-situation-minicamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Hockenson we've got Oliver, Mudnt, Muse, Tonyan, Knox and then Harry coming in at TE7 with zero experience playing the position. Real waste of time & a roster spot in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Hockenson out, we have 2 TE spots that are wide open. Might as well see what Harry can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
