Also, #Seahawks rookie Jarran Reed was fined $18,231 for roughing #Vikings QB Shaun Hill. Welcome to the NFL.

Zimmer not concerned that if Kalil doesn't go Sunday vikings won't have entire starting offensive line likely in any preseason game.

Wonder who will get the start at LT?
Clemmings has seemingly gotten the most reps there with the twos.

*sigh*

Getting closer. I'd bet they both start week 1. I'm most concerned with Rhodes/Kalil

Mark Craig
@markcraignfl
Kalil, Rhodes, E. Griffen, Leonhardt didn't play.


LB Eric Kendricks (hamstring) returned to some team drills for first time since camp. DT Sharrif Floyd (knee) in pads, but still limited.

Floyd seems to be getting hurt alot, and heals slow. I hope Rhodes is ok. Wouldnt mind if they held him out, Waynes needs every bit of practices her can get.

EXTREMELY bold prediction : Clemmings play VERY well Sunday and we see a glimpse of our LT of the future. Kalil is let go in the offseason and Clemmings is plugged in. Put it in the books......

Kalil should have been let go a long time agao. But NO ONE knew he was really this bad and content to stat they away. At lease CP84 always talked about improving and what he was planning on doing next. Sounds stupid, but but every year I have some rookie I really want to make it. This year its not a rookie but CP. I want him in this system in as many ways possible. Give him easier routes till he gets them down. Put the ball in his direction and lets see what can happen. As long as it doesnt talke Theilan out of the game.

why does everyone assume that clemmings can't improve as a player? i believe he was only the 2nd rookie in team history to start every game at right tackle. i get that he struggled at times, but what 4th round rookie doesn't? i'm excited to see what he can do if he starts at left tackle. we've had to watch overrated kalil struggle for the better part of three seasons now. even if clemmings can be average he will still be an upgrade.
