Camp Draws Near

Its close. The energy is high in town, you can feel the Vikings presence already. Riverfront strewn with the Purple and Gold and businesses preparing for the invasion drawing upon our city. The Vikings are coming. Not to pillage and plunder, but to practice. 80 roster hopefuls will come to compete and train for the 44th year in Mankato, and to me, it couldn't have come sooner.

With the announcement earlier today of Favre continuing his retirement, I'll be adding QB to the list of close battles going on during camp. Tavaris & Sage will be battling it out. Ryan Cook is fighting for his job with a young second round draft pick vying for his job. A plethora of hungry defensive backs, rookie and vet, will be fighting for the nickle spot. An inexperienced John Sullivan is expected to step up in a big way for the departed Pro Bowler and beloved Minnesotan man Matt Birk. Is Harvin the sprinkles we needed to add to the Vikings Vanilla offense? If the Williams Wall is torn down like the Berlin, do we have the guys to step up and take their place? Can an young Tyrell replace the veteran ballhawk seamlessly?

There's a lot of questions, and a lot of competition going into this year. Its going to be exciting, so get ready. Vikings season is almost here!
