Kicker Kai Forbath, punter Ryan Quigley far from Vikings shoo-ins

You can call their legs a lot of things. Young. Promising. Big, but inexperienced. But whatever you do, don't call Marshall Koehn and Taylor Symmank "camp legs."

"Oh, no, no, no," said Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer, correcting a reporter who used the dismissive "CL" words to describe the aforementioned greenhorns. "There's an open competition. Absolutely. Both kicker and punter. I'm not into camp legs. The other guys aren't old enough for us to bring in camp legs."

The other guys are 29-year-old kicker Kai Forbath and 27-year-old punter Ryan Quigley. Apparently, their job security was overinflated by the reporter who assumed that Koehn and Symmank — two 24-year-olds with nary a regular-season NFL game between them — were on the roster only to share training camp repetitions and give the Vikings two more legs to study in case things go kablooey, á la Blair Walsh, this fall.
