Phil Rauscher's rough bark carried across manicured grass at TCO Performance Center, where training camp spectators chuckled while enjoying the Vikings offensive line coach's old-school profanity aimed at an offensive lineman blocking the wrong guy.
"A little loud sometimes," said right guard Oli Udoh, the subject of that dressing down, "but the message is clear usually that he just wants everyone to get better. You can definitely appreciate that."
The messages are clear with the loud but detail-oriented Rauscher, a 36-year-old assistant coach whose booming voice is leading the Vikings offensive line for the first time this season.
