The Vikings announced their practice squad over the weekend. The list of guys:
DB Colt Anderson
QB John David Booty
OT Chris Clark
RB Ian Johnson
DT Tremaine Johnson
TE Garrett Mills
WR Nick Moore
OT Drew Radovich
Overall I think the Vikings made the right moves. I was glad to see Booty make it to the practice squad. I’m guessing that the fact that he wasn’t claimed by another team just strengthens the opinion that he just isn’t ready to be an NFL quarterback yet, and he hasn’t shown signs that he DEFINITELY will be ready someday.
Ian Johnson had some decent runs during the preseason, but the Vikings decided to keep the slightly more experienced Albert Young. I’m glad they kept Young, both because I’m a fan of him personally, and because I think he’s a good young runner, but it’s nice to see Johnson on the practice squad. I’m wondering if next year the Vikings will offer Chester Taylor as trade bait, and move Young up to being Peterson’s backup. That might give Johnson a chance on the team.
