Its going to be interesting.....I'm a proponent of the thought he's going to have a NICE sophomore season in Minnesota. Some fans forget he was coming back from an injury and it took him a bit to actually practice in purple. I think with Frank Smith on board and him being completely comfortable and healthy now, I think he's going to pop. This scheme now really suits him....remember, this is a big boy now we are talking 'bout.....I think MB doesn't like him and gave some insight on that....made some sense, hope he rocks it however.

Will Fries picked Vikings over Seahawks. Here's how that worked out | The  Seattle Times

He had zero going for him last year...Zilch!

He wasn't 100% in OTA's or TC due to leg injury.. Learning a new team and system that's a tough .

Then Kelly, the guy he'd played next to for 4 years misses 9 games , starting week 3. And Oneill misses 3 games.

Fries played every snap, there's a win in doing that.

But he was playing from behind all season. IMO the Oline injuries last year really made things tough for him. He played next to 3 different centers last year. Brutal!

Add Smith and Fries Jackson and Brandel, all for different reasons , will all be significantly improved this year..
