The P/PTSD Perspective: Acquiring an Old Friend, RB Defying Odds, and Immediate Exit
PurplePTSD works in partnership with Vikings Territory, similarly doing their utmost to offer top-notch coverage of the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, we’re promoting five of their top articles of the past week in “The P/PTSD Perspective.” Take a peek at some of their best stuff.
The P/PTSD Perspective: August 3rd, 2024
1) Vikings Acquire One of Brian Flores’ Old Friends: Leaning on coaching connections makes some sense. Brian Flores has a history with Bobby McCain, so maybe that will allow the defensive back to acclimate to life in Minnesota in short order.
2) Forgotten Vikings RB Has a Shot to Defy the Odds: So much of the conversation lately has been on the upside of Ty Chandler and the addition of Aaron Jones. Those two are being entrusted to carry the load in the backfield. Minnesota, though, will need someone to help at RB3. Does DeWayne McBride get a shot?
3) One Viking Teases Immediate Exit: In the end, the tweet ended up being prophetic. John Parker Romo is no longer with the team as Minnesota moves ahead with Will Reichard. The rookie kicker will need to keep doing the positive things that allowed him to win the competition so that Kwesi Adofo-Mensah doesn’t feel compelled to add anyone else.
4) The Newest Viking is Already Running with the First Team: Definitely notable news. A critical detail is simply that Fabian Moreau is a seasoned veteran. Presumably, he’s able to pickup what the coaches are teaching much faster than someone with less miles on the odometer.
5) Vikings Cut Candidate “Flashed” in First Padded Practice: Patrick Jones II is on the roster bubble. Adding the high-end talent in the edge rusher room made things tricky for him, especially since the additions didn’t stop there. Oh, and rookie UDFA Gabriel Murphy has been impressive. Jones, though, has been doing some good things.
