Now this I love reading about...

While his team battled Kirk Cousins twice last year, DeFilippo is now getting to see what the Vikings’ franchise quarterback is like on a daily basis.
“When you coach a guy like Kirk Cousins, a guy who wants to come in and hit the ground running, it makes it a lot easier as a coach,” DeFilippo said. “He’s been in the building, studying at home, using his iPad, maximizing his time here, maximizing every second that’s allowed in the CBA. We’re fortunate to have a guy like that who’s that competitive, that team oriented and is ready to go every day.”
Zimmer said:
“He looked good. He made some nice [throws], he’s a very anticipatory thrower. He throws guys open. He’s very, very accurate. I think he’s doing a good job of taking control of the offense. Like everybody, he’s learning the new system, learning new people. I thought he did good today and he’s done good all the times we’ve been out here.

And I love this too damn it...

“I love being here,” Diggs said. “I love playing for the Vikings. I started here and had all my time here. I love my teammates, I love my staff. There’s no place I’d rather be…I love being here. However it works out, I’m not really mad, I understand that it’s all business at the end of the day, but I do love it here.”

The highlight of practice was Kirk Cousins connecting with Stefon Diggs about 60 yards downfield. #Vikings

That part doesn’t sound so good. Almost like he is resigned to the idea that the Vikings will not be able to re-sign him. Sure hope that is not the case.

Maybe...But really what else can he publicly say at this point? 

I think the chances are pretty good he inks another contract here. Barr too.

Flip also said that Cousins arm is better than he originally thought. Said the ball is flying off his hand. 9 games indoors is great for Kirk....and the Vikings. He was fine outdoors in Washington, his arm is decent. All early signs are glowing about Cousins.

What can I say. I'm easily excited.

I know Flip is talking about velocity, which is far more important. But having a passer who can also throw deep could really open up this offense.

This ball travels about 65 yards in the air. It's a pass that Keenum couldn't dream of throwing.
