We know how it feels. With him at LT any long developing play is doomed. The result is likely worse than a sack as he leaves the DE in solid position to force a fumble as he sacks the QB. And yes, I believe that Kai Forbath would get a sack if he was pass rushing for an entire game against Clemmings 1 on 1 pass protection. Clemmings is putrid as an NFL backup offensive lineman and much worse as a starting LT. To be fair, Clemmings is our #4 tackle. It's possible Ty Nsekhe (our #3 tackle, out since week 3 due to core muscle surgery) will come back this week. He would be a significant improvement. Nsekhe is actually a good tackle in his own right, but he's had a long path to the NFL (via AF2, AFL, and CFL) and is stuck behind Trent Williams and Morgan Moses. At least Nsekhe would make the offense palatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Moses has been gutting it out on two bad ankles for a few weeks now. I would expect him to play, even with the Questionable/Limited report. Williams is the kind of player who we have to kind of prevent from playing because he'll go out there even with the bum knee. I would not expect him. Nsekhe, as I said before, might return. I somewhat expect Spencer Long to play so that would give us back our starting center. That would mean moving Chase Rouiller to guard, which would be better than Shawn Lauvao. The big question mark is Brandon Scherff; don't have real insight but I would lean towards no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when you have an AllPro, you don't want to be stupid about bringing him back too soon. Again, Ty Nsekhe is not a bad guy and would have been playing for Trent if he hadn't gone down first.

vike daddy Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Kai Forbath has been gone from Washington for two years, and he sure doesn’t miss FedExField. The kicker entered the NFL with the Redskins in 2012 before being let go one game into the 2015 season. Forbath joined the Vikings last November, and on Sunday returns to play at FedExField on its much maligned turf. At FedExField, he is 30 of 37 on field-goal attempts for 81.1 percent. In all other NFL games, he is 75-of-82 for 91.5 percent. Forbath: “The field isn’t the best, but fortunately I’ve kicked there enough times to where I feel comfortable going out there, it’s not an unknown surface to me. I heard it’s not in the best shape now, but we’ll see. I had an issue with it when I was there, and I’ve heard it hasn’t changed much. It’s dirt and they spray paint it green, it’s just not good grass.’’ http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/10/vikings-kai-forbath-prepared-to-kick-on-fedexfields-dirt-surface/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only season the teams haven’t met this decade was in 2015. Kyle Rudolph: “It seems like we play them every year. Coach Zim mentioned it earlier, we kind of treat it like a division game. We’re very familiar with one another.” http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/08/vikings-defensive-end-everson-griffen-misses-practice-with-foot-injury/ Holy crap I hadn't realized our teams played each other this often?! And as previously mentioned both head coaches come from the Lewis coaching tree, so yeah this is pretty close to a division game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Looks like Trent Williams is playing Jordan Reed is OUT which is nice and by far our biggest mismatch. I didn’t like the idea of Davis and Reed on the field together. Sooo.... who does Rhodes shadow this week? Pryor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
