The Vikings finish their OTAs today, and move on to minicamp next week. Here are some tidbits of news gleaned from some recent press conferences and other reporting:
Vikings Offensive Playbook
From an interview with Jordan Taylor, who worked in Gary Kubiak’s scheme while in Denver, he said the Vikings playbook is about 60-70% the same as what he learned in Denver. The remaining 30-40% is carry-over from last season - presumably plays that worked the best for the Vikings last year and/or compliment the Kubiak playbook in some way.
Head Coach Mike Zimmer has been installing some new things on defense as well, trying to keep up with changes in offensive schemes and plays that may have had some success or were ran a lot against them last season.
