Minnesota Vikings Training Camp/Season Preview

Hey Minnesota I have an idea, let’s talk about something other than Chris Kluwe considering training camp starts tomorrow and we don’t need to make an enormous distraction of the situation…

So as I was sitting at my desk at work I began to dream about a perfect fantasy football season, the Vikings winning a Super Bowl, Bridgewater developing into an elite quarterback, and the Vikes becoming something besides “well, they have Adrian Peterson”. Somewhere I signed an imaginary contract and in the terms of service agreement it said I would share with Vikings fans my opinion on the team heading into training camp, along with the rest of the teams in the NFL and I’d call it “32 Teams In 32 Days” (Sounded catchy, even if it takes more than 32 days. But I’ll try my best). You aren’t required to read this article, but you’ve already read this much so you might as well continue to read the rest of it. Share/comment on my article whether you enjoyed it or if you think it’s awful.

Remember, a lot of this is just my opinion so there is no need to get fired up if you disagree with me!

With the NFL season almost here, my entire focus has altered towards the gridiron (nothing different than usual). The Vikings are LOADED with young talent and it looks like this season could become a “learning” year for the purple to benefit our future… or could it?

2013 Woes - Minnesota absolutely STUMBLED out of the gate last season, going 1-7 in their first eight games.

Most of the team’s struggles came from a secondary that got exposed each week, a floundering head coach that never found his footing as an NFL head coach, and a gruesome quarterback venture. Their offense lost Kyle Rudolph after he broke his foot vs the Dallas Cowboys.Adrian Peterson also battled injuries which resulted in his worst statistical season of his career (not including 2011 because AP missed 4 games due to ACL injury). Harrison Smith, the leader of the secondary, battled some injuries of his own last season as well. The lack of defensive leadership really showed when the nasty striker was out of the starting lineup.
