Blair Walsh is apparently having some timing issues in camp when it comes to spotting and placing the ball. As of yesterday, his kicking percentage has been nowhere near as good as last season. Since it's just camp, he has time to work those thing out before the season starts. But the Vikings and fans watching are starting to notice. He wouldn't be the first place-kicker to go south faster than expected...
The recently drafted punter for the Vikings is BOOMING the ball in practice. Jeff Locke booted one 65 yards in the air during team drills. Another had a boot of 90 yards total distance from the line of scrimmage. Locke was the best college had to offer last season and the Vikings drafted him expecting him to be their punter (and perhaps kickoff man) this season. Kluwe is long gone and it looks like Locke will be a great (and much cheaper) replacement.
