Five RB's...Four WR's...huh

This should be a very good team but I think our linebackers are going to be a weakness.  

The makings for very serious running attack on offense...

This roster isn't done with changing yet, so don't take it as final.

I would anticipate a couple more shifts in the final 53.  For instance, I would not be surprised if they pick up Aldrick Robinson and move Dillon to PS (once through waivers).  I also would not be surprised with them trading Abdullah.

Blasingame a surprise cut.
He reminds me of Jaylen Samuels.
I hope they can retain him for PS.

Also Brandon Dillon is a story if he hangs on.  Cole Hikutini was good competition and Dillon showed against him favorably.

Sloter shock is wearing off.
I don't think the kid was ready and there was no room for guests on The Warship.

We move on.

2-3 LBs to PS? 

DT position is deep!

Skol!

"The Vikings are keeping just four receivers on their initial 53-man roster, though they have interest in bringing Brandon Zylstra back for the fifth spot, source says. He'll go through waivers before tomorrow."

I am hearing they want to bring him back when they are sure Hughes is fine then they plan to drop a corner. Zylstra needs to clear waivers and be placed on the practice squad for this to happen.

Zylstra's stay on the practice squad might be short-lived; the Vikings could keep him there for a week or so, until they know Mike Hughes is ready, and get rid of a cornerback.

I feel bad for Kris Boyd

He said he was going to sign on the PS squad when he Panthers claimed him.  Thankful for his time in Minny, I hope he does well.
