Final Mankato practices and a depth chart
August 12th, 2009 – 8:21 AM by Judd Zulgad
MANKATO � The Vikings’ shorter than usual training camp stay will come to an end today as they hold two practices at Minnesota State, Mankato. The first practice is scheduled to run from 9 to 11:15 a.m. (it was raining as of 8:05 p.m.) and a second session is scheduled to go from 2:10 to 3:15 p.m. The Vikings will open the preason on Friday night when they play at Indianapolis.

The Vikings also have issued their first depth chart of training camp. Here it is:

Here are some highlights:

WR 87 Bernard Berrian � 11 Jaymar Johnson � 82 Darius Reynaud or 16 Glenn Holt or 13 Bobby Williams

WR 18 Sidney Rice � 19 Bobby Wade � 12 Percy Harvin or 15 Vinny Perretta or 14 Nick Moore

The thing of note there (IMHO) is that Jaymar has the absolute lead in the race for the 5th spot as WR.

RT 71 Phil Loadholt � 62 Ryan Cook � 66 Nick Urban

No surprise there.
Cook is currently listed as the #3 center, too.

HB 28 Adrian Peterson � 29 Chester Taylor � 34 Albert Young or 36 Kahlil Bell or 35 Antone Smith

Uh-oh, Ian Johnson fans....

QB 7 Tarvaris Jackson/Sage Rosenfels (no starter listed) � 4 John David Booty

LOL!
No help there for you QB race partisans!

LCB 26 Antoine Winfield � 21 Marcus McCauley � 41 Karl Paymah � 24 Marcus Walker

RCB 23 Cedric Griffin � 22 Benny Sapp � 30 Asher Allen � 27 Derrick Roberson

So, either Sapp or McCauley are in the lead for the 3rd CB spot.

KR 12 Percy Harvin � 11 Jaymar Johnson � 82 Darius Reynaud

PR 11 Jaymar Johnson � 12 Percy Harvin � 87 Bernard Berrian

More reason to keep Jaymar.

=Z=

Pretty sure Jaymar made the team.
I would rather see McCauley over Sapp at nickle, and would love to see Asher Allen getting some looks in dime this year.

Everything is pretty much what we were expecting.

Tjacks name is listed before Sage, that's a good sign.

depending on your point of view in the QB battle of course ...lol

In a small way I felt sorry for Marcus Walker's low standing, but I think Judd said it best on his blog

The highlight of the afternoon practice, which was held in shorts and shells, was Sage Rosenfels’ 52-yard touchdown pass to Percy Harvin in an 11-on-11 drill. Harvin got behind cornerback Marcus Walker on the play. Harvin has made Walker’s life extremely difficult in this camp.

Good shit bra!

I want sapp gone tho.. Not even on the team

Happy about Loadholt and Jaymar's places. Little disappointed about Ian Johnson but I guess he didn't cut it.

I see Urban is listed as the #3 RT right now and I'm pulling for him just because that story of him working at Target really stuck out in my mind.

They say the downside to McCauley is he can't play inside and Winfield would have to.
IMO that might be a good thing, because Winfield can blitz a few more QB's easier inside.
