If one of our safeties goes down it may not be pretty. Other than QB, there may be no bigger drop off if a starter goes down. Hunter missing practices is a concern, too. There are a lot of players vying to back him up, but the drop off is considerable. Same can be said for Thielen. We have no Diggs to pick up the slack.

Jefferson is going to be fine, and he'll be a lot less of a headache moving forward. IMO, Diggs was a cancer.

(Tanishka Mascara on Twitter) My comment:. We should continue to worry about the trenches. One thing we can always count on - going into the season concerned about our oline.

#Vikings LB Anthony Barr said he doesn’t think any one person can replace Everson Griffen’s energy. It will be a “collective effort” and the defense will have to “let their play do the taking.” (Sean Borman on Twitter) When asked about Dom Capers influence thus far Anthony Barr said he's actually worked the most with the secondary as opposed to the front seven as many assumed would be his focus (Luke Inman on Twitter) #Vikings LB Anthony Barr on Eric Wilson: "I think he's going to have an even larger role this season.'' (Chris Tomasson on Twitter)

We lost a lot of depth this off season Actually I disagree....adding 2-3 young corners gives us more depth (Rhodes and Waynes aren't what they used to be). Griffen is end of the line too---be more like NE. Sign the Griffen's for 1 million as an after thought not as a base player. Look how much Dallas spent on a couple of older guys (McCoy and Griffen) and McCoy at DT is out for the year now and cut as and injury designation; 7 million guaranteed. Even look at Waynes---played 5-6 years already and hasn't been real healthy the last two and Cincy spent a lot of money on him....you have to keep bringing in young guys.

Here's a nice clip. It shows Hollins catching a long pass over Chris Boyd by going up to get the ball and then continuing to run down the sideline. Great for Hollins. Bad for Boyd. https://twitter.com/Vikings/status/1296543738924339200?s=20

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/20/2020 3:49:34 PM)
Practice over. No pads for Vikings today. Armon Watts was back, Danielle Hunter still out. No Riley Reiff, Dillon Mitchell or Britton Colquitt. Dakota Dozier getting most of the LG reps today. Sounds like Vikings are close to making decision w/ starting OL. (Courtney Cronin on Twitter)

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/20/2020 3:51:17 PM)
Fairly slow #Vikings practice today – no pads after three straight days with them on. Lots of special teams work. Highlight of the day was a Justin Jefferson leaping touchdown catch over Mike Hughes. Alex Hollins also had a couple nice catches. (Will Ragatz on Twitter)

"Ezra has done a good job. We wanted to put him in there, get him in the mix. He has a comfort zone outside, we wanted him to work inside, see if he could be one of our top 5 and see how that would pan out." - Gary Kubiak on @Ezra508 (Minnesota Vikings on Twitter)

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/20/2020 5:14:14 PM)
On @KFAN1003, Mike Zimmer said the Vikings will go down to U.S. Bank Stadium a week from tomorrow to practice on the field. With no preseason, and new faces on the roster, the Vikings will use it as a chance to get players some exposure to the stadium. (Ben Goessling on Twitter)

This article got more interesting to me when I got deeper into it. https://www.dailynorseman.com/2020/8/20/21377740/vikings-defensive-secondary-looks-poised-for-an-upgrade

Here's the video of Justin Jefferson getting up and making a touchdown catch over Mike Hughes, punctuated by a celebration dance with Dalvin Cook. (Will Ragatz) https://twitter.com/Vikings/status/1296561697818324994?s=0

It's early, but I take this report as bad news.
