Acquiring Boon(e) turned out to be a typical bane move by Spielman as regards OL talent acquisition. Dumping him after failing to re-do his contract was also typical. We typically hang onto FA busts longer than necessary. One and done for Boone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakout Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Good to see Spielman admitting a mistake and moving on from it. We will likely see this same situation next summer. I would rather roll with the young guys and see what they can do instead of sticking with under performing. Though I do find it troublesome that the team cannot seem to make up their mind between running a zone or man scheme. Difficult to build year to year consistency and develop linemen when you keep flip flopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byuvike88 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I am anxious to see how it all falls after tomorrow. I bet they go after OL depth. Floyd coming back in week 5 could be intriguing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDakViking Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Actually surprised, but not against the Boone cut. Really puts pressure on Easton stepping up. Reiff really has to feel a little worried after seeing Hill play so well in the preseason. Any chance we see Hill push Reiff to the right side or getting looks at RT if Remmers struggles?

NorthCountryEvo Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I liked Boone, but his days of playing solid are probably behind him. He never really lived up to being an average OG, so this was a decent move. I'm glad Easton is getting a look at starting, should be at least a lateral move to Boone, if not an upgrade. Kind of setting the stage for what we can hope for next off-season a starter far as talent acquisition. i wonder if we will move on anyone's being cut? I saw Audie Cole was released by the saints. Being that he I saw familiar with the system and a good special teamer, you think we could go after him? Also, I saw Andy Lee was dropped earlier, he could very well do better than Quigley, who looked okay this preseason, but has historically been bad. Anyone know of solid OL depth that is available?

NorthCountryEvo Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Also, hope we are able to get these guys on the PS: Kyle Carter Willie Beavers Cayleb Jones Elijah Lee Ifeadi Odenigbo Freddie Tagaloa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Easton must have been mile ahead of Boone to make this move. Which I'm happy about. Another ol blunder by Rick, should have just paid up for the top OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Not necessarily much a blunder, but a change in direction. When Boone was signed, we still had a power, man-blocking, running game under Norv Turner and with Adrian Peterson. We're making the change to a zone blocking scheme with Shurmer and Cook, and Boone simply isn't a fit for that style of blocking. Easton showed he is miles better in that regard.

RpMc Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Still like Owa Odighizuwa... I'll probably die on that hill. I'd take Rubin over Shamar Stephen as a backup NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 We could use Andy Lee. Jordan Leslie at WR. Is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I wouldn't mind bringing Audie Cole back. Good ST player and insurance at OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad we can't get a couple of quality starting OLers for a 7th Rounder each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
