SemperFeist Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Imagine if Collins, Hill, and O’Neill all develop into (+) starters! A line with O’Neill, Collins, Elflein, and Hill would be crazy athletic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 So, that likely means that Tom Compton is the new starting LG with Cornelius Edison being Elflein's primary backup (Elflein is expected to be back next week). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I would say this ends Easton’s time as a Viking. Might get a show-me contract next year, but he’s not going to see that team commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 That's a rough way to start the preseason. I feel like Compton is a decent option as well at LG. Hopefully the depth develops for the team so that we aren't too thin along the OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunate for the Vikings, that they did not agree to long term contract earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 I honestly don’t think there’s much of a drop off between Compton and Easton. But it’s a blow to our thin depth. A huge blow for Easton, who was entering a contract year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Interior pressure looks like it’s going to be a killer in the pass game this year. Compton doesn’t have a strong anchor in pass pro and has always been more of an angle guy in the run game. At least it’s at left guard where he’s likely to have some help.

Easton wasn’t great but he was fairly consistent at being average. I know PFF wasn’t a huge fan of him, but I would still like to see us try some Collins or Isidora there.

I posed the question for Krawcynski and Graff at the Athletic for their chat tomorrow that if there's a possibility that Isidora could become the starting LG instead of Compton. We'll have to see what they have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to see what they have to say. Eason is doing that poorly, well if that is the case that will be a hard fill at guard. Will be interesting if Isidora becomes the starter, but I thought Remmers was moving to guard? Then would have Reiff and Hill or Reiff and O'Neill at tackle. Be curious if Gossett could move his way up is Eason is struggling. There is not many guards out there in free agency unless someone gets cut. Could be a big issues if a player does not step forward and take the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
