Offense: We got a good look at what the Vikings will look like on offense week 1 against the Chargers and I like what I seen. McNabb looked as sharp as the offense moved the ball down the field well and Adrian Peterson looked like, well, Adrian Peterson…The beast we all know he is. The Vikings had 4 drives of 50 yards or more and I like what I seen from Bill Musgrave as...

The Cowboys defeated the Vikings tonight 23-17, making the Vikings fall to a 1-2 record this preseason. Normally I would be upset, but it is only the preseason. I still saw a lot of good things tonight, both from our offense and defense. Adrian Peterson ran wild in the first half, finishing the night with 14 carries for 81 yards. Donovan McNabb had a good game tonight as well, his...

Here are a few things you should know about tonight’s game: - CB Asher Allen, RB Toby Gerhart, DT Kevin Williams, OLB Kenny Onatolu, TE Visanthe Shiancoe, OLB Ross Homan, and OLB Heath Farwell will all sit out tonight’s game. - Jimmy Kliensasser will get the start at TE tonight. - Letroy Guion Will start at DT for Kevin Williams. - Anthony Herrera Will get the start at...

I just want to take a minute to thank Adam Warwas for everything he’s done for Vikings Gab, including giving Randy and myself a chance to write for this awesome site! Adam has always been awesome at working with other bloggers, including me when I wrote for Lemke’s Lot, and I think Randy will agree that we have some big shoes to fill. Hats off to you, Adam! On a side...

Pre-Season Week 3: Dallas Cowboys(1-1) At Minnesota Vikings(1-1)  7 PM-Central Time The Cowboys will travel to the Metrodome to face the Vikings tonight for pre-season game #3. The starters should play the whole first half and alot of answers at different positions should be taking shape tonight. First cuts will be happening this coming week so this will be last chance for some...

In about two and a half years, in writing over 2,000 posts on the pages of Vikings Gab, I have a bond with many of the readers of this fine site.  I am thrilled with how this site has grown in size, traffic, quality, readership, and character.  This site has been a constant source of pride for me as a writer (aka Hack Blogger), as a football fan, and as a person.  A lot of the...

Vikings have waived LB Mark Washington and signed LB David Herron according to Mike Wobschall of Vikings.com. David Herron started 3 games for the Vikings in 2008. He was signed by the Jets on August 8th and waived due to injury on August 12th.

Although the Vikings have looked pretty good for the most part this preseason, there are a few guys who could use some improvement. A few days ago I shared with you five guys who I think are doing a really good job so far this preseason, but here are five guys who I feel need to step it up. 1. CB Asher Allen. I don’t really think Allen lacks speed or quickness, but his awareness...

Ex-Viking LT Bryant McKinnie has been signed by the Baltimore Ravens according to Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times. McKinnie showed up to Vikings training camp around 390 pounds and was released shortly after. It’s rumored that McKinnie will receive either a one or two year deal in Baltimore.

Vikings have brought in Colts free agent CB Kelvin Hayden in for a workout today. Hayden left without a contract but per Jeremy Fowler, the Vikings were pleased with his workout. Tom Pelissero of ESPN1500 stated he senses this is a back up option if Cedric Griffin or Asher Allen don’t progress.

Vikings have signed ex-Georgia RB Caleb King per multiple sources. King went undrafted in today’s supplement draft. King will be in for a physical on Tuesday. King never lived up to his potential with Georgia and not sure he will make the roster here but will be interesting to see what he brings to the Vikings.

Leslie Frazier stated that the Vikings have placed OT Scott Kooistra on Injured Reserve. Kooistra injured his neck against Seattle on Saturday. Frazier states he’s not sure whether it’s a career ending injury or not. Kooistra started at RG in the game at Seattle and actually played decently well. This is the first significant injury of the season for the Vikings. Other...

Stylez White DE 6’3 270 LBS. Vikings have signed DE Stylez White a free agent from the Bucs. White tweeted the news of the signing today. Stylez White is an underrated DE and was graded out by Pro Football Focus as the 20th best 4-3 DE in pass rushing last year, only 5 spots below Jared Allen. In White’s 4 year career he has 137 tackles, 24 sacks, 4 pass deflections...

Hey guys! With two weeks of the 2011 Preseason in the books, I wanted to go over a few guys for the Vikings who I think are really making a good impression in the preseason. 1. CB Marcus Sherels In my last post where I predicted who would make the final roster cut for the Vikes, I had Sherels making the practice squad. I hope I am wrong. Sherels has done an outstanding job this preseason...

Tarvaris Jackson played poorly as the Seahawks new starting quarterback on Saturday, as the Vikings defense was able to hold both him and Sidney Rice in check. Donovan McNabb led the starting offense on one efficient drive resulting in a field goal, while the starting defense came up big on a couple of occasions including a goalline stand that was reminiscent of the WilliamsWall...

The Vikings and Seahawks game should be getting under way at about 9:00 p.m. Minnesota time.  I’d like to make up for my lack of updates lately by hosting a live chat during the game.  We’ll get started right around kickoff time. Vikes vs. Seahawks

Receiver Sidney Rice will face his former team on Saturday, as will quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, as the Vikings travel to Seattle for their second preseason game.  Seeing that combination face off against this Vikings defense, albeit for a short amount of time, should make the game slightly more interesting. Rice recently gave the media some quotes that suggest the Vikings didn’t...

I just want to start off by saying I apologize for not writing on the site as frequently as I would have liked to over the past few weeks. I am working about 65 hours a week at my full time job, also had a personal issue that set me back for a while, so I apologize. My schedule should free up a lot more time for this site as time progresses, so this is only a temporary thing. Anyways...

OG Anthony Herrera was taken off of the PUP(Physically Unable to Perform) list today. Herrera took part in group installation drills according to Judd Zulgad. Frazier stated that they didn’t expect Herrera on the field until next week and is ahead of schedule. He also wouldn’t rule out Herrera for next weeks pre-season game versus Seattle.

With the Vikings losing their first pre-season game to the Titans 14-3, there were some good and bad things to take from it. The Good Starting Quarterback Donovan McNabb had a decent first outing for the Vikings going 6-11 for 40 yards. McNabb converted a few 3rd downs, was calm and smooth inside the pocket and also showed mobility when the pocket collapsed. Rookie quarterback...

Pre-season is a time for coaches to get a look at younger players but it will also give the Vikings staff a good look at some players battling for starting or back up spots. Adam wrote an article about 5 things to watch for and I’m going to expand off of that and give you guys some position battles to keep an eye on. Back Up QB Joe Webb, Christian Ponder McNabb has a history...

As reported by Josina Anderson of FOX sports, Vikings will bring in FA CB Tony Carter for a workout. Frazier was asked about bringing in Carter and he stated “we’re going to try and workout a couple more guys.” Looks like the Vikings would like to get in another camp body to replace CB Marcell Gipson who was waived due to time missed because of his Grandmothers death.

With a 90 man roster at this point of the preseason, there will be plenty of performances to note following Saturday’s preseason game in Tennessee.  Starting in the morning, I am going to be taking a few days off to attend the wedding of some close friends, so I didn’t want to miss the chance to give you all a heads up in regards to what I will specifically be looking for when...
