WednesdayBrad Rempel-USA TODAY SportsNo sooner did yours truly get a 90-man
roster done up for the Minnesota Vikings, under the assumption that there
weren’t going to be any significant changes coming, did the team decide to
potentially change that.According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press, the Vikings will be bringing in at least two punters on Wednesday, when
the team will be taking part in their mandatory minicamp. The punters named by
Tomasson are Justin Vogel and Shane Tripucka, and there could also be a third.
One of them could be signed to compete with incumbent Matt Wile during Training
Camp.Vogel punted for the Green Bay Packers in 2017
Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , playing with the team for all 16 of their games. He was eighth in the NFL that year in net punting average at 41.6 yards/punt. He
has not punted in the regular season since 2017, but has been signed by the
Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers over the past couple of
years.Tripucka, the nephew of former NBA player Kelly Tripucka, has never punted
in a regular season game. He went undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2018 and
spent the preseason with the Los Angeles Chargers before being let go.Wile was
tied for ninth in the league in net punting average in 2018, averaging 41.5
yards/punt. According to Tomasson’s article, the concerns appear to be more with
Wile’s ability to be the holder on field goals and extra points than with his
punting abilities. Based on that
Armon Watts Jersey nfl draft , it sounds like new special teams coach Marwan Maalouf will continue along the same road that Mike Priefer did with the Vikings, using the
punter as a holder rather than a backup quarterback.In looking for pictures to
use for this article, I did see pictures of Vogel holding on kicks when he was
with the Packers in 2017. It appears as though Tripucka handled those duties in
college as well.So, it appears as though there’s a chance that we’re going to
have a big ol’ punting competition in Training Camp this year, folks. Tell me
that doesn’t get the blood pumping, I dare you. Vikings interim offensive
coordinator Kevin Stefanski was one of several names linked to the Browns as
head coaching searches got underway around the NFL this week and Tuesday brings
word that an interview with Cleveland has been scheduled.Ian Rapoport of NFL
Media reports that Stefanski is set to meet with the Browns on Monday. The
Browns are also set to interview Saints tight ends coach/assistant head coach
Dan Campbell late this week.Stefanski took on the offensive coordinator duties
for the final three weeks of the season after the Vikings fired John DeFilippo.
He had been the team’s quarterbacks coach up to that point.Rapoport adds that
Stefanski is in the mix for the permanent offensive coordinator position with
the Vikings
Custom Armon Watts Jersey , but is out of contract and free to talk to other teams as a result. The Giants had interest in interviewing Stefanski after hiring Pat
Shurmur as their head coach last year, but their request was rebuffed by the
Vikings.
