That was the type of effort I saw a couple of times in the Seattle game that made me like his potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Can't teach that kind of stuff. Guys have it, or they don't. Both Isidora and Elflein have shown the willingness to look for work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of times I saw offensive linemen standing there doing nothing last year was sickening 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Isidora and Elflein have shown the willingness to look for work. Even though I am not sold on Easton, he also showed the willingness to block till the whistle last year. Which was a welcome change compared to the other guys that would block their initial assignment and then stand around and watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byuvike88 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I am pretty shocked the team didn't add anyone to the line off of waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, with The Vikes' 1st pick at 13 or 14, and teams looking I would have guessed they could have picked up a back-up guard or tackle to help upgrade the OL depth. It seems now, that decent O linemen are at a premium. Is that because almost all colleges don't use pro sets, anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm reading it correctly, I don't think you're understanding how waivers work. This isn't like a draft, where the highest-priority gets to pick someone followed by the second, third, etc. Any team can put a claim on any player. If multiple teams put in a claim, then the team who gets him is the one with the highest waiver priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting Clemmings is addition by subtraction, Boone was all show and no go, and...who was Smith again? I'm not expecting great things, but I'm cautiously optimistic that our line won't implode like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It will all come back to how healthy the Vikes are. Take away this year's starting Tackles (Reiff/Remmers) were likely just as bad of a unit as last year with Hill and Sirles starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see that they had put one in for Schofield. I wonder if they were in on any others. Collins is just a puzzling decision to me.

I still am very interested in how Easton and Elfien will turn out. If they play above average, our line play will be considerably better than we were last year. One thing we forget to realize is how much of some of the protection stuff "may" have been on Berger. He did a fine job blocking, but calling out protections is usually the centers job. Hopefully Berger put in a guard position with less responsibility can help this line. Should be interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be interesting to say the least. Alternatively, we will be relying on a rookie for those same protection calls. Might be some growing pains. Interesting that last year's two starting Centers are now starting Guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
