Don't we normally one suit up 7 on the offensive line? Meaning, keeping 9 is still the play. Bak, Jenkins, Nijman, Runyan, Myers, Newman, Tom, Ryhan, Jones. IF 10 the 10th one comes down to: CLV, Walker, Hanson. If Jenkins and Bak are out week 1 this is the starting line-up I'm expecting in bold.

Brat&Beer Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Bakhtiari off PUP list. Quote "He's only going to do individual [drills]," LaFleur said before practice. "So you guys can kind of temper the expectations because I know there's going to be a bunch of questions now. It'll just be individual. It's just the next step, but we are excited to get him out there on the grass. We'll take it one day at a time." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Well, by taking him off PUP now we know they at least expect him to be ready before week 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I actually think getting Jenkins back might be more important than getting Bakhtiari back. Reason being I feel better about Yosh at LT than I do about Newman or Tom at RT. Although Tom might change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jenkins and Bak are out week 1 this is the starting line-up I'm expecting in bold. After last year, I think you pretty much have to disregard Jenkins and Bak until they have played a game and survived it without new setbacks. So keeping 9 is really only keeping 7 which isn't enough. Has to be 10 (8) really. Be surprised if Hanson doesn't make it given he is in the mix for actually starting.

DWhitehurst Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Roster Questions. Perhaps too early to definitely say, but for giggles, presently at... TE: Becker or Cannella? OL: Keep Caleb Jones or risk him on the Practice Squad? Yes, we've only seen him against backups, 3rd stringers, but there is potential there. Could we get by with cutting Hanson (Tom as Backup Center in addition to RT, something which we haven't seen yet?) and thereby keeping Jones? DL: Heflin or Slayton? Just some musings...

Maybe Jones with the frame/athleticism as others have mentioned gets poached by a bad team. But we should get a comfortable amount of reserves just a week away from helping out.

Spartacus Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Heard Watson is doing team drills now. Hopefully we can get a glimpse of him at the last preseason game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be vs. guys who will be selling hot ham and rolls on Sundays but I’m all for him being healthy and getting a glimpse of what he can do. I hope he gets some snaps. I don’t think they keep Love in more than a half, no real reason to but hope we see at least one longball to CW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Penske Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Nice. I think even if he’s gonna be good to go by sept 11 you keep it tight to keep MN guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker is a guy I totally forgot about. Was he that hurt that he couldn't practice or see any preseason action? Or are they just trying to sneak him on the PS?

And I’m assuming he is the second center, if something happens with Myers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
