Quite a few snaps where Isidora has been there in place of Berger. Don't know if it's vets rest or something else

thanks DP, i'm sure everyone will be really shocked by this:
In addition to Isidora taking a few reps at right guard, T.J. Clemmings was awarded a few snaps with the first-team. He entered during a team situation where the Vikings had the ball at the opposing 30-yard-line with 1:54 on the clock. On the second play, Clemmings was destroyed with speed by Tom Johnson, who literally almost stopped the play. The next snap had a similar result. Clemmings was turned around by Johnson and Bradford was forced to throw the ball away. The coaches brought the kicking team on the field and kicker Marshall Koehn drilled a 47-yard field goal with plenty of distance. However, it wasn’t before Clemmings was destroyed twice.

That is a microcosm of last season on offense. The guy is a major liability right now.

It was reported that Reid Fragal was currently backup RT. But I really haven't seen much mentioned about him.

Hopefully this is just camp experimentation, which is common. Clemmings needs to go. Honestly, Hill will probably be first man up for either tackle position.

Second that. Clemmings is dead to me. Hill should be competing for RT with Remmers as well as backup/swing tackle. I'm concerned with the entire right side of the line. I figured Berger would lock up RG pretty easily but reports aren't great. Seems like that's a position very much a question mark.

I asked before but dint remember the answer. Why did he switch to OL at Pittsburgh?

Seems like McKinnon is always banged up.....not sure he can handle it but he has shown to be explosive at times.

Looks like it was a whim./experiment. Was asked if he wanted to and said "Sure."

Re: Elflein at RG today. More about flexibility/familiarity than actually putting him at RG. twitter.com/MatthewColler/…

Was hoping he'd be back after the day off. Injuries starting to roll in around the league, Dominique Easley torn ACL, Will Fuller broken collarbone, Forest Lamp carted off..
