I had a ton of fun hanging out in Mankato for the weekend at Vikings Training Camp. It was great to meet some previous guests on the show, record a few live podcasts, and take in our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings squad from the sidelines. Mentioned this before, but even the more butt-hurt/pessimistic Vikings fans should have reason to believe this year. We have a talented young squad lead by a platoon of teachers and leaders, which is a great combination for sustained success. It was a great experience and big props to Vikings Territory and Vikings PR for helping make it happen. I prattle on about a few of my observations."Asiata bumped into me and got one yard after contact" Talking Points Include* Adrian is ready.* Teddy is a smooth operator, but overly cautious at times.* Left tackle is the main issue with this team.* Matt Kalil is a super nice guy. Not sure if he loves football.* The jury's gonna be out on Trae Waynes for a while.* Offensive Line shakeups not over yet.* An "unconditioned" Anthony Barr is still nuts.* Right guard may not be decided anytime soon.* Stefon Diggs is special. Poor man's Antonio Brown?* Charles Johnson & Xavier Rhodes have greatly benefited from going at each other every practice.* Tune in for the other 30 Andy Observations!All that and other "Love Me Some Mankato" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW!
