Good read DP!
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.
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.S197 wrote: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.
I asked before but dint remember the answer. Why did he switch to OL at Pittsburgh?dead_poet wrote: Second that. Clemmings is dead to me.

Seems like McKinnon is always banged up.....not sure he can handle it but he has shown to be explosive at times.Cliff wrote: Sherels is the man on Punt Returns but I'd rather see MicKinnon return kicks if he can handle it. Of course he's injured right now but I think he has some good moves and has more potential to get bigger gains.
Looks like it was a whim./experiment. Was asked if he wanted to and said "Sure."PurpleMustReign wrote:I asked before but dint remember the answer. Why did he switch to OL at Pittsburgh?

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..dead_poet wrote:Reiff still out
