Don’t know how much he got but I think Kline would get a similar contract. We should know in not too long but the longer it goes without details being leaked by Schofield's agent the more likely it is to be a smaller deal, a deal that Schofield's agent doesn't want to brag about. Typically if the numbers look good for a player those numbers leak out early. Your boy, Dalvin Cook, will look a lot better behind a decent offensive line. Kline is at least decent (when not concussed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kline is at least decent (when not concussed). Also Kelechi Osemele is still a free agent. He has proven to be great in Kubiak’s offense. At this point, I want some assurance that Elflein won’t be the starting LG. After watching that game against the Niners, he made Dee Jones look like Warren Sapp. Dee Jones wasn’t even the starter for that team. He would just judo chop his hands off of him and it was over. Elflein really got exposed bad in that game. Might have the weakest hands of all our guys up front and at LG, going up against DTs we need someone stronger.

swede700 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Osemele is now 30, coming off shoulder surgery and been injured quite a bit the last 2 seasons. For the veteran minimum, sure I'd consider bringing him in as competition, but I can't imagine he's looking for that, otherwise he'd probably already have signed somewhere.

Backup DTs that PFF credited with pressures for SF against the Vikings were Solomon Thomas and Earl Mitchell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of the main reasons why I don’t think Elflein should be back as a starter. Just didn’t have an answer for that chop move. I don’t think his hands are strong enough to handle the left guard position. Edited May 1, 2020 by Purplepride323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplepride323 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Surprised a lot of people are cutting Jaleel Johnson. I think he still has good potential. He did a good job filling in for Linval against Zeke and Cowboys. Had a sack and contributed to lock Zeke down to just 2.4 yards per carry on 20 attempts. His second lowest of the year. Our run defense was on point in that game. Edited May 2, 2020 by Purplepride323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepride323 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) QB- Cousins, Mannion RB- Cook, Mattison, Boone, Abdullah FB- Ham WR- Thielen, Johnson, Jefferson, Sharpe, Osborn LT- Reiff, Cleveland LG- Kline, Udoh C- Bradbury, Jones RG- Samia, Dozier RT- O’Neill, Hill TE- Rudolph, Smith Jr., Conklin LE- Hunter, Wonnum DT- Watts, Lynch NT- Pierce, Johnson RE- Odenigbo, Griffen, Willekes SLB- Barr, Gates MLB- Kendricks, Smith WLB- Wilson, Dye CB- Hughes, Gladney, Hand CB- Hill, Dantzler, Boyd SS- Harris, Metellus FS- Smith, Dorn K- Bailey P- Colquitt PR- Osborn KR- Abdullah LS- Cutting I like this roster a lot. Hoping we re-sign Kline & Griffen. 🤞 Also under the new CBA, two players on the practice squad have to be included as members of the active roster. Those two players I have are Quartney Davis and Nevelle Clarke. Basically keeping other teams from signing them away.

swede700 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 While not the projected final 53, here's PFF's projected starting lineup...I'm putting this here for ease of comparison when the time comes: Quote MINNESOTA VIKINGS Offense QB: Kirk Cousins RB: Dalvin Cook WR: Adam Thielen WR: Justin Jefferson TE: Kyle Rudolph TE: Irv Smith Jr. LT: Riley Reiff LG: Ezra Cleveland C: Garrett Bradbury RG: Dru Samia RT: Brian O’Neill Defense DI: Michael Pierce DI: James Lynch EDGE: Danielle Hunter EDGE: Ifeadi Odenigbo LB: Eric Kendricks LB: Anthony Barr CB: Mike Hughes CB: Cameron Dantzler CB: Jeff Gladney S: Harrison Smith S: Anthony Harris https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-projecting-all-32-nfl-starting-lineups-ahead-of-the-2020-season#NFC North Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krauser Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 That's probably pretty close. The more I've watched Cleveland, the more I think he could do well at guard if they don't want to drop him into the deep end at tackle his first year. I'm not convinced Samia will be better than Elflein but he probably gets a chance to start early in the season to see how that goes. I doubt Lynch will be starting week one but he might platoon with Stephen at 3-tech, playing mostly in passing situations. Dantzler is probably better than Holton Hill but I think they're more likely to start Gladney outside, put Hughes in the slot in nickel, and have Hill as the CB3 playing outside in nickel. Going with 2 rookies in nickel in week one after a limited offseason seems overly ambitious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle2heaven Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Maybe I'm higher than most on Holton Hill, but I think barring him being a moron, he's kinda entrenched as a starting boundary corner and can run away with it. He's really talented and has the size and length to go to battle with some of the bigger X receivers the Vikings will face next year. I think Hill and Hughes are your starting corners; with Hughes pushed inside for nickel and Gladney coming in as a boundary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
