As the Minnesota Vikings complete their OTA practices over the past couple weeks, they still have mandatory mini-camp next week and one more round of OTAs the following week- we are beginning to get a little flavor for this year’s team and how it may differ from last year’s team.
Of course this is the time of year for a lot of throw-away lines from players (e.g. “I feel great”) and coaches (e.g. “we’re just trying to get better every day”) that all sound good but don’t really give you any sense of the dynamics of the team or changes compared to last year.
