With a new head coach and new coordinators in charge, nearly every Vikings player is learning a new scheme this preseason.
Fullback Jerome Felton said Turner's
offense is complex with “a lot of motions and shifts; that's
different than in the past.” However, he said that doesn't mean his
job changes a whole lot.
“(Turner) wants to run the football.
He wants to power run the football,” Felton said after Wednesday morning's special teams walk-thru. “That's what I
do. The basics of what I don won't change.”
For Felton, the best part of camp came
on Sunday when players put the pads on for the first time.
“As a fullback, when you don't have
the pads on, you can't show what you're about. I think it's been
important the last two days to come out here in pads to show what I
can do.”
Turner said some, but not all,
positions need that look during camp.
“Tight ends, linebackers, offensive
linemen, the full backs – seeing those guys in full pads helps you
evaluate.”
