Goodbye to punter Jordan Berry

Kind of surprised by this, watched a vid yesterday where Daniels said the competition would come down to Saturday's performance.

Damn you Zimmer!

I'm out of the loop I guess-- So who's our punter?

I assume Wright is now the holder. Any word on how much work he's gotten holding in camp?

Stunned.  Not like holding for field goal is an important job.  Will the Vikes ever learn?

Hey, we've been grousing about the backup QB and the punter mostly this preseason.....Superbowl?

maybe Wright is the right man for the job?  for all we know the new found success by Joseph is attributed to working with Wright vs Berry?

Though I can't find it now, I thought I had read that Berry held for all the kicks during the 2 preseason games.  Strange, if Wright has been holding for a good portion of the kicks during training camp.

Ryan Wright. 6-3, 245 as if that matters for punters. But it's pretty clear the Vikings didn't need Saturday's "punt-off" to decide their punter. Wright won. Probably also helps Berry catch on with another team.

Hmm 245 for a punter, maybe he could fill in at tight end.  Yea maybe not but still rather rotund for a punter.

whats the over/under on Joseph missing a FG saturday and the first thing everyone will think is must be the new holder?

play nice jimmy

It kinda lets you ask yourself if you are skeptic or a cynic.  Does occurrence establish cause or can probability best explain the outcome.  Zim/Spiel and the Carlson decision.  I am a skeptic investing and listening to politics and a cynic when I am reading opinions why the Vikings will fail.  Skeptic or cynic, pessimist or realist, it's a fine line.  I prefer sticking with the Kierkegaard line of reasoning.   ;)

Will the Vikings use Wright as a fake punt and field goal weapon? Guy's 6-3, 245 and he runs a 4.6 forty. This is good, but I've read that he can also shank one every now and then. Good with the bad I guess.
