Starting to look like these battles are sorting themselves out already. Sendejo seems to have a grip on that starting S spot. Only C is left on the oline as a competition. WR's seem to be Diggs, Johnson, Treadwell, Thielen, Wright, and Patterson. Can't imagine any of those guys being left off the team.

Greenway still seems entrenched as WLB, with Lamur grabbing some of those 1st team snaps. Waynes/Newman still seems to be a bit of a battle, although most people I've heard talking about it say Waynes has looked the part so far this season.

Two New Starters at Sunday's Practice - Vikings Territory

I didn't watch the game Friday night, but I did hear the o-line didn't exactly light the world on fire. Hopefully it's just a case of getting them to mesh more.

Andre Smith gave teddy 0 chance on one sack


Theilen has to be a lock at this point

I watched the first few series last night. Oline put it together better on the second series, which is good. A lot of new faces/shifting along the line, so hopefully it's just a matter of time for them to get better as a group. Kalil is the only one that is the same from last year.

I hate late games, Vikes don't kickoff until 9pm local time. I'll be lucky to stay awake long enough to watch the first series.

Who needs Teddy, we have Shawn Hill.

I wonder if Wright is on outside looking in.

If they can get cheaper production out of Thielen, I think his roster spot may not be guaranteed

Sullivan on the trading block?

With John Sullivan reportedly on trade block, Joe Berger could be Vikings' center

Sounds like Berger won the job and sully would be an expensive back up, and they don't view Sully as a swing interior player. Although in theory, he could move to Center and Berger coudl slide to guard if anyone got hurt. Cant say I'd hate that

Sullivan is a few years younger, but with the history of back problems, I can't say I blame them for wanting to turn him into a pick or other veteran lineman.
