“He has so much to worry about... play clock, if the defense has shifted, making a call... If somebody goes in motion and they’re not set yet, I’m like, ‘Hey, we’ve got a motion.’ We’re just trying to find that chemistry" Chip Scoggins on McCarthy's development: www.startribune.com/jj-mccarthy-...

Josh Metellus also continues to limit himself to only 11-on-11 work so far this spring amid contract talks. Asked him yesterday if he'd sit out drills in training camp and about the situation here... www.startribune.com/vikings-tigh...

Christian Darrisaw did not participate today, the second of three minicamp sessions, after walking through drills yesterday. Doesn't sound like a cause for concern. Expectation remains that the new O-line won't fully come together, including guard Will Fries, until start of training camp.

During the regular season, the Wolves were 20-3 when they scored more than 120. If they go on to to lose this series, they'll regret that their defense was just a little too loose and a little too mistake-prone, that it wasn't up to their standards, like Dallas last year.
