Saturday morning links

It's raining in Mankato, so the Vikings likely will have their first indoor practice, going into Myers Field House at 10:30 a.m. That will just give you more time to read what's in this morning's paper. Here's a peek:

Second-year right tackle Phil Loadholt (pictured) can be described as ginormous, but he's relied on help from the smaller guard Anthony Herrera for his early success.

In the Training Camp Notebook, guard Steve Hutchinson and defensive coordinator have high praise for Vikings Hall of Famer John Randle. Also, Heath Farwell talks about the importance of special teams practice.

The Associated Press does a full feature on Randle.
