No TJack as camp resumed today, but there was a light of positivity shining over Mankato as Percy Harvin signed a five year deal and showed up to camp for the second practice of the day. Let's move right on to the nuggets of the day.
- Percy Havin electrified the crowd in Mankato today emassing cheers for everything thown his way. His following so far is on a Adrian Peterson level. He looks pumped and ready to go and I'm sure he's loving the fanfare thus far.
- Brad Childress mentioned that Tarvaris Jackson may be ready to take the field tomorrow. I find that rather hard to believe since he was seen with a knee brace on today.
- Harvin was hardly sitting on his duff while waiting for his agent to get the deal sealed. He was working out with Tim Tebow the past few days and caught a very early am flight from Florida to Minnesota to ensure he made the 1pm meetings and 3pm practice.
- A Ben Leber and Benny Sapp collision today has Childress losing even more hair. It's camp, it's football, it's going to happen.
- Coach Frazier and the defensive players feel they've got what it takes to be a number one defense this year. I happen to agree with that. Getting EJ Henderson back alone makes this already very good defense even better. All four Pro Bowlers from last year have returned and should still be able to attain a Pro Bowl level of play.
That's it for tonight, it's late and I have to get up for work after having a week off. I plan on submitting for the Strib Vikings Blogger contest and hope to win it.
