Great to have you as Minnesota Vikings O TAs are over.

They have two practices left and those will be mini camp assuming that they

actually happened the New York Jets decided to cancel their many camps so I

guess the Vikings could do that but they've got two practices scheduled for next week and that will be the end of the summer program and if I look if you're watching on YouTube if I look a little hot I am I was just outside going for a jog and let me tell you it's hot

it's very warm and it's smoky outside as well and I do have the Oakley sunglasses

with me but I'll save that for later because later on we'll have some hot routes for you

Jonathan Harrison will join but that's not until probably a little after 8 o'clock so we've got

a little bit and then they tried to spike it,

kick the final field goal,

kind of do all that sort of thing.

And they are broken up on the two fields that are first and second

slash third team and we got to look at kind of who is getting the first reps now

these are not things that we can say are absolutely going to happen once training camp comes along for how, you know, guys are being deployed right now in O TAs because lots can change in training camp, but today was really the first practice where it looked like a real football practice and not just kind of a light jog through with some goal line seven on seven Like there was some legit 11 on

going on and so I've got some takeaways just from the three weeks of
