Vikings Territory works in partnership with PurplePTSD, similarly doing their utmost to put forth excellent Minnesota Vikings content. As a result, we occasionally promote what they have to offer in “The View from VT,” a weekly piece. Take a look of five of their articles from the past week.
1) Minnesota Kicker Signs with Falcons: Atlanta already has an excellent kicking situation, so perhaps we’re dealing with a scenario where the rich are getting richer. Meanwhile, Minnesota enters training camp with a competition between the veteran Greg Joseph and a rookie who kicked at Georgia, Jack Podlesny.
2) New Viking is an Instant Pro Bowl Candidate: To my mind, bringing the former Saint to Minnesota was a brilliant move. Tons of upside in the deal. In a perfect world, the partnership works out so well that Mr. Davenport sticks around Minnesota for several more years.
3) Vikings Earn Spot on an NFL’s ‘Worst’ List: In truth, the Vikings defense is likely to struggle at various stages in the season. Yes, Brian Flores is an excellent coach, but there is much that needs to be proven. A lot of young fellas will need to step up. If they don’t, we could be in store for a fourth-straight year of horrendous Minnesota defense.
4) Rick Spielman Reveals His Plan B for the Justin Jefferson Pick: Being prepared is a key component of a general manager’s job. Thankfully, Slick Rick didn’t need to dip into his Plan B. That Jefferson guy is working out alright.
5) Speedy Viking Received Unforeseen Attention at Minicamp: Kene Nwangwu doesn’t lack for speed. After a pair of seasons in the NFL, the remarkably fast RB hasn’t been able to get into the offense for very many snaps. Will that change in the upcoming season?
Enjoy the extra reading, Minnesota Vikings fans. Skol.
