Vikes Inch Closer to Camp and Summer’s Heat
Vikings Territory Breakdown
It’s July in Minnesota, where it has been alternately rainy and blistering hot—which always make for some sweltering Vikings football practices. But the Vikings aren’t in camp—in fact they aren’t even in that summer furnace of Mankato (as in days gone by), either. There are a couple more weeks before camp begins in Eagan, and the roster change speculation persists amidst Viking Nation.
Will they sign a cornerback? Will they trade for a different backup quarterback than the one they traded for in Sam Howell (odds against it are quite steep). The smart money is on the the Vikings camp roster being set—and we here at Vikings Territory Breakdown podcast (Joe Oberle, senior writer at vikingsterritory.com and purplePTSD.com and Mark Craig, NFL and Vikings writer for the Star Tribune and startribune.com) are betting on it.
Therefore, we begin our Training Camp roster preview this week by taking a look at the defense and special teams. What are their strengths/weaknesses; who are the players to watch; and a host of other suggestions to get you ready for camp. In addition, we will host another in our weekly pre-camp segment of the “100 Things Vikings Should Know and Do Before They Die.” So, tune into the podcast and checks it all out. Skol!
