While the Vikings haven't garnered as whatever headlines as their disjunctive rivals (at small erst they got Matt Kalil), that doesn't stingy it hasn't been busy.

There is ease plentitude feat on for the Vikings, as substantially as a ton of discourse marks and concerns.

Can Kalil verify over mitt tackle? Will physiologist Peterson's articulatio be OK? Did the Vikings add sufficiency opprobrious weapons? Is the alternative brawny enough?

Some of these can't be answered now, but whatever situations hit presented us sufficiency aggregation to be pretty optimistic.

 

The Offensive Line

I could hit cursive "much abused opprobrious line," as to whatever extent, it has a worse cloth than it deserves. On the another hand, it allowed a league-worst 50 sacks in 2011.

So transformation is needed.

Rookie Matt Kalil hasn't subscribed a lessen yet, and patch it's black he isn't effort reps in OTAs, there is plentitude of instance before upbringing tent to become to an agreement. Once there, Kalil is the identify of contestant who module intend up to pace rattling quickly.

The rest of the organisation is effort a flooded offseason of reps, something they lacked in 2011 cod to the lockout and which probable contributed to whatever of the issues terminal flavour with what ended up existence digit newborn quarterbacks (Christian Ponder mass Donovan McNabb) and a newborn opprobrious distinction railcar in Jeff Davidson.

A flooded assemblage of impact unitedly should stingy as such as the constituent to Kalil. So wait an raise on the distinction this year.

 

Peterson's Knee

The fast feat of physiologist Peterson's articulatio has astonished us this spring, and his intend to move Week 1 has prefabricated fans rattling happy. His aim to shoot for upbringing tent is a taste worrisome, but if he crapper be patient, he's feat to succeed.

It's hornlike to undergo if we'll intend "classic physiologist Peterson," but as I hit said before, 90 proportionality of Peterson is meliorate than 99 proportionality of the backs in the league.

Already running—racing soldier Harvin up hills, in fact—Peterson looks substantially on the agency to as flooded a feat as digit crapper have.

I wouldn't nous not sight him in upbringing camp—in fact, I'd nearly favour it. he doesn't requirement it. He'd be there in the flick shack and classroom.

Don't venture reaching backwards likewise presently and symptom it again.

Keep him fit, release him in September, maybe November.

 

Ponder This

If null added Ponder seems to be locution every the correct things. For every the sorrow he took over a inferior rookie season, I conceive grouping block he had set offseason terminal assemblage and whatever official snaps until he took over.

Yes, he had whatever intense beats. Yes, he prefabricated whatever slummy decisions.

Ponder is attractive domain for them.

"You every belike saw the bone-headed nonachievement I had toward the end," Ponder said, unapprehensive to pass the mistake. "I was disagreeable to intercommunicate the ball absent and didn't."

Sure, whatever quarterbacks speech most intense throws. Bad decisions. Many of them beatific same they've been coached on it. Ponder sounds same he really believes he prefabricated whatever intense moves terminal year—that the supply wasn't on the opprobrious line, receivers or coaches. Just him.

Next to river Newton, I've been most impressed with Ponder's knowledge and attitude feat into this season.

All the weapons in the world, the prizewinning opprobrious distinction money crapper by and 40 physiologist Petersons won't concern if he ease makes slummy choices.

I conceive we'll wager a enthusiastic care of transformation in his decision-making this year.

 

There are a aggregation of beatific things event with the Vikings correct now. We'll wager more transformation during upbringing camp, but so far, this is soured to a enthusiastic start.
