Don't forget about Stefon Diggs. He's more likely to make the team than Thielen IMO. Diggs is a big time sleeper that I could see taking over if Wallace doesnt pan out for some reason. I could see him sharing some time with Wright as well.
Yeah I listed Diggs in the mix a few lines below in the mix.

Not to mention Zimmer loves secondary and defensive line rotation in the game as well so he will want 6-7 of each of
those I'm guessing ....

I have heard that Adam Theilen is a favorite of many coaches, including mike Prefert (special teams coach)
I'm guessing he might squeeze in a special teams spot...That means a good player at LB or running back is going
to miss the 53 man cut...

I agree. His blocking skills are very good.

Jeff Davidson OL coach did a pick six interview and gave some insight to the OL changes.

Fusco has handled the switch to LG with few problems.


Sullivan is the leader of the Group and could be a future coach if he chooses (per Davidson OL Coach)


Baps is taking coaching well and per Davidson could be a very interesting player when he upgrades his skills.
(Possible Kalil replacement ?? time will tell)

As of Right now it appears Kalil LT Fusco LG Sullivan C Clemmings RG Loadholt RT

I'm guessing Asiata or Line will be FB if we have one in the game....
Don't forget about Yankey or Tyrus in the mix. I think Berger could step right in to RG and play well, but the coaches may think he is too valuable as a versatile backup to tie him up there.
