Bodes well for making the final 53 as he would likely do well on special teams. Blasingame could be a good backup to Mattison, in my opinion. Not following. I'm saying he could be a FB and an RB. He's probably faster than Mattison, but as a FB in college he must be good at running inside with the short yardage situations which is what we will be using Mattison a lot for. Also, from what I remember, he's really smart so he can probably handle learning two positions. Our other FB is mostly a good blocker and an occasional outlet pass catcher. Blassingame is very different.

A 5th rounder for a punter/kicker? He better win one of the jobs.

I wonder if there was a bit of a bidding war for him, the TV guy mentioned the Bears and Packers as teams needing a kicker after Vedvik kicked the 55 yarder.

It might end up with Vedvik doing both jobs if Bailey struggles.

The price was rather high, but I suppose that if our team wins the Super Bowl it's almost worth a sixth rounder. This is my take. The Vikings need to save a little money and want to cut Treadwell. They also would like an extra roster spot to activate one more defensive lineman on game day. They want to do a lot of rotations along that d-line to play better in the fourth quarter and they know very well that they have some excruciating cuts to make.

I don't see us just giving the P and K jobs to a guy who has never kicked in the league. At worst, he is good enough to take Wile's job. At best, he is good enough to take both jobs. What I think happens is Vedvik is our punter and KO guy and long FG guy.

Don't even think Bailey is staying...he's G O N E

I had assumed this had to be a move replacing Bailey... even better if he could replace both. However, from what I'm reading it could be replacing Wile... I'm MUCH LESS PSYCHED if it's a 5th rounder for a punter. Could we just stabilize FG kicking this decade plz!

Tom Pelissero ‏Verified account @TomPelissero 5m5 minutes ago More #Vikings special teams changes: They informed veteran long snapper Kevin McDermott they’re releasing him, per source. McDermott held the job for 4 years and earned contract extension, but they’ll go with draft pick Austin Cutting. Starting over under new STC Marwan Maalouf.

I posted a few weeks ago that I would like to see Blasingame beat out Ham for the FB position. I've never been impressed with Ham...to me, he's just Blah Blah as a player. Nothing special. Blasingame looked good as a receiver and blocker. He helped Boone with his long TD. Hopefully the coaches will give this young guy a few cracks with the 1's and see what can do.

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/11/2019 8:43:16 PM)
Albeit we don’t know yet how special teams will look on the opener, I’m happy to see the team being proactive rather than reactive in regards to the roster. Even though Priefer assured us that he’d looked over ‘all of Dan Bailey ‘s kicks’ I much prefer starting fresh with a young guy. It’s a chance for the team to correct the Carlson mess.

Mark Anderson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/11/2019 9:32:15 PM)

One thing is if we can't cover kickoffs, we better get someone who can boom it out of the EZ.

Mark Anderson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/11/2019 9:49:15 PM)
Looks like Cutting is the new long snapper.
