The Minnesota Vikings 2026 Training Camp Watchlist

With Vikings training camp a week away, Dave and Darren announce that Two Old Bloggers / Vikings 1st & SKOL has moved from Fans First to the Bleav Network. They thank the staff for migrating the RSS feed and updating graphics, confirm the show’s approach won’t change, and express hopes for audience growth. They preview key camp storylines beyond the Kyler Murray–J.J. McCarthy quarterback battle, focusing on rookies Caleb Banks, Domonique Orange, Jake Golday, and Jakobe Thomas, plus concerns about thin interior offensive line depth and the punter battle between Johnny Hekker and international prospect Brett Thorson. They revisit why Brad Childress was fired in 2010 despite prior success, citing loss of the locker room, unilateral roster cuts (including Randy Moss), and fan dislike. They also discuss ESPN coverage of Murray with Kevin O’Connell, ESPN’s top-10 lists (highlighting Justin Jefferson at No. 2), and expectations for a big Jefferson season with a healthier camp.
