Training Camp 4 -Vikings vs Raiders Preview
There isn't too much to report new at Vikings training camp.
The player reports have stated has had the been the best player in Training Camp is EJ Henderson. Henderson has lost weight and is moving around a lot better.
Another standout performer has been Kenechi Udeze who is also really moving well as he is now playing at about 270 pounds as opposed to 290. Udeze has been displaying an impressive combo of quickness and power.
Reports have a much improved Ciatrick Fason running for the Vikings last year.
WR Billy McMullen has been showing himself to be a Physical WR with good hands.
Here are my thoughts on Tommorrow's game vs the Raiders
*The second string QB battle I will be watching can the erractic Tavaris Jackson vs the erractic Mike McMahon.
*How cohesive the O-line will play with 3 new starters from a last year, and a part-time starter in Marcus Johnson becoming a full-time starter.
*Troy Williamson, I am planning on wearing my Williamson jersey tommorrow.

*The LB play in the cover 2.
Prediction: The Vikings might not look terribly cohesive due to personnel, coaching and scheme changes in the past 8 months. The Raiders have already played a game so they have that advantage, but they are also working in a new system. When I look at the Vikings though I really like their depth and I think they will try to win one for the home crowd.

A final side note I will be standing in ovation when Randy Moss is introduced tommorrow night. He is the most transcendant talent the Vikings have had and will have in my lifetime. He was a dominant game-changing player that was ran out of town, due to the Vikings deciding to go with a non-NFL quality coaching regime. While I never cheer against the Vikings, I wouldn't mind seeing Moss go deep once tommorrow.
