I also don't recall him getting any holding or false start calls either. He definitely got away with one holding in the third quarter though.

Wow that is somewhat of a surprise...I didn't think Clemmings was great at left tackle, but I didn't think he was bottom of the heap.
I thought he was doing a fair job protecting Bradford. And I thought him and Boone was doing a decent job working together.
So do you give Sirles a try at left tackle?

PFF seems pretty suspect this year. Even the defensive guys are rated pretty low, guys like Rhodes, Barr, etc. I think Smith is the only guy rated highly.

The panthers game Zimmer said he thought Clemmings done a good job.
I didn't hear much about the Gaints game. So I guess if the coach thinks you done ok that is all that counts.

Not ideal.
Not practicing were receiver Stefon Diggs (groin), tight end Kyle Rudolph (clavicle/rib), right tackle Andre Smith (triceps), tight end Rhett Ellison (knee), tight end David Morgan (knee) and tackle Sharrif Floyd (knee), who is a starter but hasn’t played since having knee surgery after the season opener.

Hoping that Rudy's fine. His wife just had twins, so maybe he missed for that more than the ribs? We need him vs. the Texans.

Diggs is really starting to worry me. He didnt practice again today. That could kill our passing game. Although, it would be nice to see Laquon fill in

Well it has been about 4 days so we were overdue to lose someone else on offense.

Diggs is listed as doubtful......I'm sure we will see Wright as long as he is 100%.

As long as it isnt Bradford. We have been giving a blessedness.
To have this Vet as a backup, well thats just good oversight. Something im not noy to oversaying..

We will take it will we gave will and instill confidence. The Turnetd, Zimmer. very good staff, all of it good. Use is wisely and work our tail off. And lets not forgrt the D!. How in the the world could we LOL. I am more excited about '98 right noe, and I know it early.

@Andrew_Krammer Would Alex Boone have been Vikings' next man up at tackle: 'I don't want to think about that, it's been so long. Let's move on.'
