And let’s talk the latest Vikings news as we approach, you know, really start steamrolling here for these Bears and getting back into our weekly routine. Uh, it’s a fast season, guys. Pulls by a blank. Let’s enjoy it and let’s enjoy whatever is going to come from it. Good, bad, be great moments. There’ll be some sad moments. Hopefully, it ends in triumph. I cannot wait. Let’s go over the Vikings latest news. The big news really, they dropped the first unofficial depth chart for week one. Some takeaways from that. Carson Wentz as quarterback number two over Max Bromer. Uh, I know there’s some confusion there, but they kind of listed them alphabetically before that. I don’t think there’s any real doubt Carson Wentz would be your backup. That’s why he’s here. Uh, Brosmer, as good as he’s looked, just not ready to take on that role at this point. Uh, so he’s your quarterback, too. Hopefully, we don’t see him take the field. Uh, Adam Thelen is listed as wide receiver, too, over Jaylen Naylor. I’m not surprised by that one bit. Uh, Jaylen Redmond is a starting interior defensive lineman. Um, basically the starting nose tackle. I I don’t think there’s going to be a true nose this year. This is going to be a rotation. Uh, guys who can do both. Um, but he’s, you know, technically that nose. Uh, Ty Felton is your kick returner. Miles Price is your punt returner. Two rookies at the return positions. That might scare a few, but you know what? These guys earned those jobs and I’m ready to ride or die with them. I think they’ll be just fine. So, congratulations to both those guys for earning those spots. Um, but yeah, I I don’t know. I think nothing overly shocking here on the depth chart. Uh, from what we saw come out today, there’s already concerns speaking about Chicago in their field condition. Uh KC says Elvis players prepared to play in whatever conditions there may be uh and have the right equipment. Chicago, get your together. Get that field in good shape. Come on. You’re professionals here. It shouldn’t be an issue at the pro level. Your field and the condition of it. So if we get some hurt because of Chicago sloppy ass field week one, some key player like a John Grard pulls I mean I will I’ll be going apeship. I’ll be going absolutely a ship. So Chicago, get it together, man. Uh Harrison Smith’s status it’s for week one is a little up in the air. Uh a couple reports here, one from Doogie, one from Ben Gosling. Uh he’s he’s doing well. Hopefully he should be good. I think that was Doogies and then Goss reported that we’ll see about week one. Uh but expect not expected to be a long-term deal, but a wait and see for week one and Harrison Smith’s availability. He’s got this illness. He’s been dealing with all camp. Hasn’t practiced since I think August 7th, something very very early in the preseason in training camp. Again, no one really knows uh what’s going on there. Wish him the best and hopefully see him on the field sooner than later and hopefully that is week one in Chicago. Um Ed Van Ginkl, another guy who’s been dealing with an injury kind of under the radar. He’s working his way back, doing really well, said KC today. Uh really hope Van Gink’s out there against he’s the one who hasn’t practiced since August 7th for an undisclosed reason. Again, at least you have Dallas Turner you can plug in there if he can’t go. But damn, it’ be nice to have Gink and Grenard pressuring Hello, Caleb Williams, forcing him to do stupid things as young quarterbacks do. Uh, this is kind of a no-brainer. We think this was also Ben Gosling. I think Aaron Jones is the main guy, but I think Jordan Mason will be very involved in the Vikings running game. I think some of those situations where it’s more physical, I would expect to see Jordan Mason out there, which I don’t think is a shocker. Like, we all expecting if it’s goal line situation, short yardage situation, Jordan Mason should be the one toing that rock. uh powerful violent runner who can push for some extra yards. Very hard to bring down. So, what’s not hard to bring down is a Patriot thin crust pizza by brew pub. Go get yourself one. You’ll devour that thing in minutes. That’s a lopagus. Guarantee. Great pizza. Great cause. Patriot uh by brew. Uh a couple more thing. Uh Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson’s hamstring isn’t expected to affect his play, but could require long-term maintenance. So, I expect him to like every week probably be on the early injury report uh with that hamstring, giving him some extra time to recoup and recover, get an extra massage, uh get that thing rubbed out before he starts practicing again for next week’s game. He’s earned that right. Uh but I don’t I do think this is a legit injury. He has earned the right to get a day off. Uh he’s that damn good. So, yeah, I think that’s what long-term maintenance means. It’s like, you know what, he probably won’t be practicing till Thursday. So, don’t get your panties in a bundle. every single week. Justin Jefferson starts out on the injury report. Uh Vikings are hopeful, barring any setbacks that Jaylen Naylor will play in Chicago’s game this Monday in Chicago against the Bears. A lot of concerns are about his hand if he’d be ready to go. Sounds like things are progressing well where they expect him or they’re optimistic that he will play. Uh so hopefully he doesn’t hurt in practice this week. If he does, he probably won’t. If he doesn’t, then we’ll see Jaylen Miller out there trying to earn that big money contract probably from another team next year or earn, you know, wide receiver three. But Adam Thielen sounds like he’s got number two according to the dep chart. Uh last thing here, we do have some Vikings number changes uh before the season starts here. Miles Price will be wearing number four. Nudan will be wearing six. Jeff will be rocking the number eight. Uh Carson Wentz will be his number 11. Felen, Adam Felen will be 19. Ben Urick is going to be 85. Javon Harrave will be 97. Bo Richtor the erector uh the RTOR scale himself will be going from I think he was 96 he’ll now be 98 will be Bo Richter. So some number changes look for if you watch the game on eight night who the hell is that guy remember this video and I I taught you what these numbers were. So your Vikings latest news and nuggets again go get go to the store get yourself a Patriot thin crust pizza. Great pizza great cause. Thank you, Brew Pub. And guys, remember to always keep your skull in your home.
