Unfortunately both, pass blocking was by far his worst skill set last season. Maybe some silver lining, the O line coaching was terrible as well and partly to blame. So perhaps he is salvageable or serviceable. I am not optimistic, but I hope he is able to redeem himself and prove himself a valuable addition. Best of luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he a serviceable guard for you guys in 2019 and 2020? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Which was the reverse of Mike Remmers...who was a serviceable tackle, but when asked to play guard (which he actually should be better suited for physically), was absolutely dreadful.

wcblack34 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Some folks complained about every move Spielman made. Now they’re complaining about every move Kwesi makes. Can’t win. Davis is being brought in for competition. He isn’t costing much. Kwesi comes from an analytics background. I’m not sure why everyone expected him to come in making high priced free agent acquisitions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 The signing of Jesse Davis should be viewed as good news for those who think either Oli Udoh or Wyatt Davis have what it takes to be a starting RG, because this move signals that the team feels the same way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do put a lot of blame on the coaching staff as well. To many fans and beat writers dismay he was not cut immediately at the end of the season. On the plus side, I believe he was well thought of in the locker room. What I saw last season was awful and I may be unable to look at him objectively. I hope you guys can coach him up and he flourishes under your scheme. His abysmal season may motivate him as well. At the end of the day he isn't much against the cap in the grand scheme of things. I definitely wouldn't let it dampen your outlook on the off season or front office even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you guys can coach him up and he flourishes under your scheme. His abysmal season may motivate him as well. I mean, shouldn't you acknowledge playing tackle and playing guard are two different positions and require two different skillsets for a lineman? He sucked at tackle, I think we can all agree on that. But he was decent at Guard. Vikings did not sign him to occupy a tackle spot but to compete for the starting RG position. I can understand last season was awful, and I can understand the coaches weren't very good. But you saw him in 2019 and 2020 and he seemed to play decent as a guard. I think the abysmal play can be more chalked up to playing out of position as opposed to really anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I guess I’m suprised by the $3M price. Got to think/hope a lot of that is non guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, $1.3 million of it was guaranteed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
