In the last three drafts the Vikings/Rick have used two second round picks and one first round pick on O Line. We are investing heavily in it. If it doesn't work out it's not from lack of trying.

Purple for the win with a nice bit about KJ Osborn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGvnT3mdNcs

Today was by far the most efficient #VikingsCamp practice yet. The 1st-team defense looked solid today & once again Holton Hill put another quality day together. You can see the level of competition rising in WR group due to Holton’s play! #IronSharpensIron (Gabe Henderson on Twitter)

Osborn with a nice move. https://twitter.com/NickOlsonNFL/status/1298004516336537605?s=09

Number 11 looks pretty good, but he's not Treadwell. (It's Tajae Sharpe) https://www.vikings.com/photos/training-camp-practice-august-24#789da303-fdc9-4565-9d16-bfbf952473c1

Mike Hughes looking good. https://twitter.com/NickOlsonNFL/status/1298005792424157184?s=09

So it looks like Ezra Cleveland took some reps at tackle with Riley Reiff at guard at the end of offensive line-defensive line one on ones. Reiff did not necessarily prove to be an excellent guard in those two reps. (Arif Hasan on Twitter)

I tried to copy and paste, but this one didn't work. Technical difficulties with my phone Worth reading Rick Sosa's takes on Twitter, though.

Just because Amazon is tearing it up, doesn't mean Microsoft isn't still a nice to have. Maybe you're right. I was thinking that we get these reports about how someone looked good in his one on one battle, but if he did well it could mean the competitor failed. So from my perspective, it's really tough to know for sure when a player is doing well.

Mike Zimmer says Cam Smith had successful open-heart surgery yesterday. "They were able to fix the heart and he's in good shape." (Will Ragatz on Twitter)

The Vikings are going to practice in US Bank Stadium on Friday and will play 1 quarter as the home team and 1 quarter as the visiting team so players can get a feel for the crowd noise in both environments. (Courtney Cronin on Twitter)

#Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was asked if it's a concussion issue on Ben Gedeon. Said he wouldn't discuss his situation but said, "I hope he gets the clearance tomorrow" to play. (Chris Tomasson on Twitter)

Vikings will not have fans at 1st two home games, Sept. 13 and 27. (Guy N. Limbeck on Twitter)

I saw where Hershel Walker endorsed Trump yesterday. That should solidly put Minnesota in the Biden back pocket. Perhaps the worst trade in NFL history.

Perhaps the worst trade in NFL history. But during his first game with the Vikes everyone in MN thought it was the best trade ever I did! Something like 160+ yards. One TD run with one shoe off! Then reality hit. I was in Korea, pre-internet days and my buddy called with the trade. He sequenced out what we gave up. At first, ok a #1 pick. Then players. Then another #1. Ugh. Then more players. Then another #1 and who knows what else. Holy S***! The very definition of Super Bowl or bust.
