Sounds like #Vikings rookie WR Dillon Mitchell had an impressive day during the team’s first practice yesterday

I get drug tested every year and that doesn't include my randoms. My workplace has zero tolerance. Once and you are done. Hill has flunked at least two tests, but I think it might be more than that.

Whatever. I'm just disappointed. It's so stupid.

It might sound odd, but people probably aren’t talking enough about the potential shift in approach among the special teams units. During his career, new special teams coordinator Marwan Maalouf has worked with several top-tier minds, including John Harbaugh and Darren Rizzi. During his most recent stop, the Dolphins had one of the top punt-block percentages in the NFL. Their twist schemes were very difficult to handle and caused chaos. While Maalouf was an assistant in Miami, the Dolphins finished top-five in punt-block percentage every year, including a first-place finish in 2014 (4.92%). Collectively, during his one season as special teams coordinator with the Colts, his units ranked 12th in special teams efficiency, according to Football Outsiders.

This writer suggests that the Vikings say goodbye to Hill. I'm kind of on board with that, but not strongly. I will support whatever the Vikings decide, but my bet is that they part ways.

waynes and alexander are free agents in 2020 - we could end up with just rhodes and hughes in february....

do these last four games have to do with the roc thomas bust early this year?...it seems both thomas and hill were hit with their suspensions within a few days from each other....

hill has talent and i hate to see us lose out on that, also i hate to see a young player ruin his career because of marijuana - when i was holton hill's age everyone i knew smoked dope every single day....

How many teams got to use a #1 draft pick as their kick returner season after season?

I'm not ready to give up on him yet. 75 PFF rating in pass coverage his rookie year? Pretty impressive.

He might not figure it out. I hope he does. Didn't we have a WR we signed off waivers because of similar issues (and all he did was catch TDs)?

Not saying that's his trajectory. But I'm much more forgiving of this type of transgression. Many don't get their s*** together but many do. He's got a pretty good locker room to help him get things straightened out.

There is something very deceptive about those statistics.

Patterson and Sherels skewed them up with returns, coverage was decent.

But the kicking game, and kicking in the clutch, there was a problem there.

re: it's too bad the nfl is so hard-nosed about something like marijuana

Too bad he can't stop smoking it when he knows his earning millions depends on he do just that.

If i take a puff, get pee tested, lose my CDL, lose my job, reputation suffers in this small rural community i live in, how many of you are going to feel sorry for me because it's just marijuana?
