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.

When one player gets elevated it means another player's stock has declined. It's not a matter of a rising tide lifting all of the boats.

The other players stock declines RELATIVE to the rising player, but not necessarily in an absolute sense. 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.

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.

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.

Walker was not at fault. Vikings traded everything for him and Burnsie wouldn't even change his system to fit Walker's running style.

Never said Walker was at fault. More about the ultimate SB or bust type trade.

Hershel Walker, IMO, was one of the most overrated football players of all time. Dude had two, 1,000-yard seasons in 12 years. In comparison, Chris Carson (Seattle) has two 1,000-yard seasons in three seasons, when teams are throwing the ball 45 times a game.

Overrated like a guy who played with us who ran for over 14,000 yards-avg 4.7 - with 111 TD’s that you thought was overrated as well?

The Rams undermined any design cred via the stadium by introducing----hands down----the ugliest uniforms in football. Who things dingy white----er, "bone"----is attractive, other than anyone who can't get their whites white in their laundry?

And the Dodgers are right there setting the example of what white uniforms are. Bright white.

The best uniforms in all of baseball

But would you wear your pants long or up by the knees?

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.

During Monday’s 1-on-1 sessions, the lineman who stood out the most was second-year right tackle Oli Udoh. Working against players like Eddie Yarbrough, Kenny Willekes, and Stacy Keely, Udoh arguably won every single one of his reps. He demonstrated great footwork, hand placement, and strength in keeping his opponent from getting to the little orange cone that represents the quarterback.

It’s been a strong camp for Udoh overall, and this was one of his best days. He’s firmly entrenched as the backup right tackle behind Brian O’Neill at the moment, but if Udoh continues to play at such a high level, the Vikings may want to figure out a way to get him onto the field going forward.
Not much of a surprise that Udoh can handle the likes of Yarbrough, Willekes and Keely without problem when he handled Khalil Mack without much problem week 17 last season. What is surprising is that the Vikings haven’t found a way to place him among their top five starters.

I believe the teams will play artificial crowd noise at between 80-90 decibels throughout the league.

We can harp on what Udoh's winning at the expense of Yarbrough, Willekes, and Keely means, or just say the real winner was the little orange cone.
