SteelKing728 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Losing Blackmon sucks. Goodness are we thin at CB. This does give one of our lower end depth guys/PS guys a chance to prove what they are worth. I'm hoping 1 of them step up to the plate. The first two that come to mind are Jaylin Williams and Dwight McGlothern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and honestly now it would be impossible for the Vikings to cut Booth, he will make the roster just because they need bodies at the CB position so lucky for him. AJ Green III is nice to have around and with these issues at CB he will probably make the roster as well. Curious if they move NaJee Thompson back to CB with what is going on. Dwight McGlothern will make the roster also most likely, it really helps him with all that has gone on or they pickup a CB that is cut but then they do not have him for preseason or camp so McGlothern has the inside track no question. They will really need Shaquill Griffin to stay healthy and not sure that will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) We'll see if this translates to GameDay, but Darnold's mechanics look much more functional. That's probably not something he got much help with in New York or Carolina. Edited July 26 by SteelKing728 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Vikings tight ends were heavily involved in the session, despite being without T.J. Hockenson, who is recovering from a torn ACL that was suffered on Dec. 24. Johnny Mundt pulled in consecutive completions during a 7-on-7 period, and those grabs were followed by an impressive catch by Robert Tonyan. Josh Oliver showed incredible hands and nice agility to reach back for a pass later in the session. https://www.vikings.com/news/sam-darnold-shaq-griffin-training-camp-practice?f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans in as CB2 right now with him out. 2. Jalen Nailor looks the part but needs to stay healthy. 3. Van Ginkel is back. 4. Our top 5 safeties are ballin'. 5. Jaren Hall looks to be the odd man out in the QB race. 6. Will Reichard is good. ---- I am still looking to see someone from the DL start to shine, and while I'm optimistic about the defense as a whole, the CB unit does not inspire confidence. Duke Shelley isn't going to be our savior. I hope we make a move for another corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are getting a CB that will be in Minnesota for years, or are giving up depth, not a fan of making a trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
