After a couple weeks of vacation and tracking the Vikings from a far- France and Italy in this case- I’m back at it and looking forward to the season ahead.
I was surprised to see how some of the roster decisions unfolded over the past couple weeks. On both offense and defense, it wasn’t just who made the roster and who didn’t, but also how many were kept at each position group. Those decisions were insightful into the Vikings’ scheme plans this season on both sides of the ball. It was also revealing how much - or how little really - preseason performance affected those decisions in many cases.
