I'd prefer Jones at Center for the experience but if Jones is going to be the LG this season, it might be better to not have to change multiple spots when Elflein returns. At least some continuity can be established. Can’t help but think the pairing of Jones at LG and Isidora at C during the first half of the Titans game was a trial run.

Common sense would suggest you'd flip them since Isidora has never played the position. It's somewhat baffling to me that they would go that route after one half of football. Guess we will find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One this I noticed was how well he was getting into his blocks after the snap. It also allows Jones and Reiff to become more comfortable playing together and less switching up of the line.

Personally, I agree with the thought of making the fewest possible changes to the line in-season. Rather than shuffling Jones back and forth between G and C, keep him at G to develop cohesion with Reiff. In emergency, can move Jones to C.

vike daddy Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 According to Vegas Insider, the Vikings will open the season as six-point favorites over the 49ers on Sunday afternoon with the over/under for total points scored set at 46. San Francisco holds a 23-22-1 advantage over Minnesota in the history between these two teams, but the Vikings have won five of the last seven meetings. The 49ers won the last game between the two squads by a score of 20-3 on Sept. 14, 2015. https://247sports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings/Article/Danny-Isidora-set-to-start-at-center-vs-49ers-121443918/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
