Vikings Diversify Attack with Tight Ends & Running Backs

The versatile player who sprouted from a family of walnut farmers showed strong hands and concentration on other routes as well, including an out-breaking route with coverage from Joshua Metellus. He also ran through some heavy contact by Brian Asamoah and stayed upright, flinging the ball after the play.

Muse pulled in consecutive catches from Jaren Hall, as well as another pass from J.J. McCarthy.

The Vikings continued with the first grouping, from left to right, of Christian Darrisaw, Blake Brandel, Garrett Bradbury, Ed Ingram and Brian O’Neill.

But the team opted to flip both sides of center Dan Feeney with the second grouping.

Minnesota departed from its most common alignment so far by moving David Quessenberry from right tackle to left tackle and Walter Rouse from left to right, as well as sending Dalton Risner from right guard to left guard and moving Tyrese Robinson to right guard.

Full pads also meant that offensive linemen were in full-contact drills against edge defenders and defensive linemen.
