As most of you know, the good folks who own Purple PTSD also own Vikings Territory. For this reason, we’ve been publishing a weekly piece to highlight what’s going on over at VT. Here are the top 5 most viewed articles.

  1. Christian Darrisaw is Returning, and That Is a Big Deal: My main thing is I don’t want the team to rush the kid. Give him the chance to get fully healthy so he doesn’t battle injury throughout his full rookie season.
  2. Per PFF, Unsung Rookie Leads Vikings Preseason Grading: Credit where it’s due: Rose had a nice preseason.
  3. Why a Vikings Rookie LB Might See Action Sooner Than Expected: Personally, I’m more excited about Troy Dye. That being said, I would be thrilled if both Dye and Surratt make a sizeable impact.
  4. How the Return of Everson Griffen Affects the 2021 Vikings: I, for one, think Griff will be a valuable piece on third downs. Time will tell if he’s a better option than Wonnum opposite Danielle.
  5. Cameron Dantzler’s Fall From Grace is Mind-Boggling: For what it’s worth, I’ve been warning about a sophomore slump for a little while now. I don’t think we should get too discouraged.

Enjoy the Saturday reading, folks. Be sure to keep swinging by Purple PTSD and VT for all your Vikings needs.
