The men in
purple are back in Mankato on Sunday, August 11th for another day of
training camp.
The crowd
this morning for a Sunday was on the smaller side. The weather had some
sprinkles but mostly cloudy.
The walk
through practice was to be 10:30-11:30 and with fans lining up between 9:30-10
there began to be some grumbling. You ask why? The reason is the gates did not open
at 10 like the schedule calls for.
A worker
came out to the gate that is locked and announced practice has been moved from
10:30 start to 10:55 start.
I saw
Sharrif Floyd come to the practice field making me believe he would be good to
go. I just heard on the radio after practice that Floyd is feeling some pain
and they will hold him out today and the feeling is he will not play Friday.
The rest of
the practice was light literally. It was a walk through that began at 10:55 and
ended at 11:30. Fans I talked to were disappointed but what can you do. It is
the risk of coming to practice. I am here all day so I will look forward to the
2:45 session.
On a
humorous note I was watching practice when I heard clapping down the stands
from me. I look and here comes Brian Robison, Jared Allen, Kevin Williams,
Everson Griffen and Fred Evans. All other players had been on the field for a
good portion of the practice. Allen and the other 4 guys came with about 15
minutes left. The offense was running there walk through when these 5 guys came
by. The offense stopped and joined the fans in clapping as these guys walked
by.
It was
announced today at Coach Frazier’s press conference that the starters would
play all first quarter and a little second quarter.
That’s all
from Mankato stay tuned later for the afternoon practice update
