    EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings running back Albert Young studied the way Chester Taylor moved his feet during a certain drill early in training camp and thought he would incorporate that technique into his game, too.....

    It's going to be interesting to watch the competition between Albert and Ian unfold this preseason. Good situation to be in as a team, as alot of good players are not going to make the final cuts. I hope we can retain the loser of this battle on the practice squad.

    Albert is a completely different player than he was last year.
    He's impressed me, which is saying something because I have been extremely against him

    agreed.
    I was impressed, and last season he looked like crap, I didn't even want him on the PS.

    I couldn't believe it either. What a turn around.
    What takes a quarterback to the next level is not arm strength or mobility or any of that stuff. Its the ability to play on critical downs. Manage third downs, or red zones or four-minute or two-minute situations"
