This time, he drilled the attempt from 53 yards out. Bailey finished the afternoon 6-for-8 with made tries from 35, 41, 42, 45, 47 and 53 yards. Both of his misses came from the right hash (38 and 52 yards), which has been a theme. This training camp, all but one of Bailey’s misses have occurred when he is lined up on the right hash. I find this interesting, and should be correctable? Like a bowler missing his spot, or shooting a gun (tight bunching but off the target). I bet it's correctable. If you have a tight grouping but are not hitting the center of the target, you adjust the sights. Kickers probably have to adjust their foot positioning or something simple like that. I hope we get the kicking game as to automatic as we can get it. It's been a problem for too long. Every miss in MN is and will continue to be amplified beyond rational expression until we have a new head coach, imo - just saying It's like a virus that will never go away

Speaking of Alexander Hollins, Paul Allen just said that he does indeed look good, but he's got too many players ahead of him. Maybe he will make the practice squad. Then he opined about Brandon Dillon. (Who I mixed up with Dillon Mitchell yesterday- too many Brandon's and Dillons on the team) Anyway, he absolutely loves the tight end Dillon and believes he is the most physical of all our tight ends. He thinks he has a real shot at making the team.

. . I read yesterday that o’neill hurt his arm/elbow...not serious.... Andrew Krammer @Andrew_Krammer #Vikings tackle Brian O’Neill not practicing today. A first for him this summer.

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/6/2019 2:35:50 PM)
I don't take the depth chart too seriously at this stage of the preseason. By the way, they are speaking very critically of Drew Samia on Skor North right now. They say he has been very disappointing and might even be cut. Wow.

Guest -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/6/2019 2:53:33 PM)
I’d probably take quite a bit with the grain of salt about now. Listening to NY Giants training camp on NFL radio when their lead beat writer comes on and proclaims one of the Giants biggest weaknesses (OLine) “Fixed” because of Their 2 big FA acquisitions. One of them was Mike Remmers..[:-]

I tend to agree with her. Thought Wilson did start at SSLB when Barr missed 2 games last season. He's definitely way better than Gideon IMO.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/6/2019 3:05:27 PM)
Might be a Spielman theme. He tends to give his draft picks too much rope. Unsure why... He also gets credit for signing UDFA's. Which probably takes a little selling to the player.

However, he couldn't get off blocks. He is a smaller LB. Hoping he takes the next step this year... his speed is really an asset. That being said, I don't think players or their parents are particularly objective on their own performance. I frequent another board that had the father of a player who played for the Vikes for a long time at a high level... loved his posts but parent objectivity can be questionable... my mom thought I was basically Michael Jordan if I just applied myself... she was not correct.

For one thing, Adam Zimmer said Gedeon is "always in the right place," so that is probably one of Gedeon's relative advantages vs. Wilson.

Meatsauce was raving about Samia last Saturday night. I want to see these players for myself in a real game.
