Hey Vikings fans
I realize I haven’t written a recap yet. It’s been a busy weekend… College football has admittedly taken some of my attention, and the college that I work at had their first football game in team history this weekend! But the Vikings have not been forgotten, and the recap will probably come Monday.
Starting on Tuesday I’ll be doing some things to get you pumped up for the regular season. This is when the REAL fun will begin on this blog, so stay tuned for that.
But for now I wanted to post the list of players who got cut from the final 53 man roster today…
DB Colt Anderson
QB John David Booty
FB Nehemiah Broughton
DE Martail Burnett
OL Chris Clark
OL Brian Daniels
OL Juan Garcia
DE Otis Grigsby
S De’von Hall
LB David Herron
DT Antoine Holmes
RB Ian Johnson
DT Tremaine Johnson
OL Andy Kemp
CB Marcus McCauley
TE Garrett Mills
WR Nick Moore
TE Jake Nordin
WR Vinny Perretta
OL Drew Radovich
DB Marcus Walker
WR Bobby Williams
The big surprises to me were John David Booty, and Marcus McCauley.
Obviously the Vikings did not see enough in Booty to warrant getting rid of Tarvaris Jackson as their potential future. The Vikings still might try to slide him onto the practice squad in a few days… we’ll see if anyone takes him. As for McCauley, I guess the reason that I’m surprised with him is because he has some experience… but I think Asher Allen’s potential as a DB outshined that experience, so Allen will get a shot with the team.
Another interesting note is that the Vikings kept 6 receivers on the roster. Both Jaymar Johnson and Darius Reynaud made the team. I think both of them have a lot of potential. With the exception of Bobby Wade, the Vikings receiving team is really pretty young (Wade isn’t even that old, really)… this squad could be good for a long long time.
