Blair Walsh has been pretty amazing in Vikings camp

blairBlair Walsh has hit 47 of 50 kicks in team periods since the Vikings started training camp, according to special-teams coordinator Mike Priefer, who said he wasn’t concerned about a pair of Walsh misses from beyond 50 yards in the Vikings’ first two preseason games.

“I think he may have missed one from 50, or maybe none, in practice,” Priefer said. “If it was one of those deals where he was shanking the ball, I’d be concerned. But he’s hitting the ball well. There’s a couple things he needs to do with his follow-through, to straighten that out. We’ve already gone back and looked at a couple game tapes from his rookie year and last year. It’s one of those things he’s just got to continue to focus on his follow-through and the other little small attributes that make him such a great kicker, compared to other kickers in this league.”

As a kicker that statistic is pretty impressive.  Especially when you take into count that 8 extra points have been missed this year already.  The Vikings have a good young kicker and hopefully he will not cause them any games this year.
