Preseason Week 2- Minnesota Vikings vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

[dead_poet]

@GoesslingESPN Loadholt turns 30 in January, and has no guaranteed money in the final year of his contract. $7.75M cap figure for 2016.

Sucks, but it happens.

Time to move one.

Are you saying, time to move on?
Good God man, has it even been two hours since he got hurt? And is he not one of the best RTs in the league? I realize that you are talking about spilt milk, but usually isn't that after at least a brief mourning period?

Hill 8-9 104 yards - 2TDs good outing

Bummed about Phil... If it was going to happen better now than mid season. Wonder if they will try and pick someone up?

[PurpleMustReign]

Looks like 6-9 month recovery. Phil likely done for the season. I hate the preseason.

And he walked off on his own power??? Wow...

That is really too bad I really like Loadholt. I was nervously hearing other teams having significant injuries, and was just hoping we would escape that... that is too bad

Achilles? Argh....

Wonder if they'll contemplate kicking Harris out to T and putting Berger at guard. I'm watching clemmings tonight and I just don't see him and Harris on the right side. Still way too raw.

[Wild Bill]

Any grades for Kalil ? I watched pretty close saw a few good plays and no big blunders. C

He's held up decently so far but I worry about him against starters. They might do what you suggest. Probably would be safest.

So, who came in to play in place of LoadGrader?

Hearing this news puts a damper on the whole preseason, IMO.

[DK Sweets]

I don't think we move on from him, but a restructure looks great for both sides. Give him some guarantees, extend the contract, and lower the cap quite a bit.

How have I never heard that one before? Gonna have to remember that one.

Didn't notice anything either, which is generally a good thing. If anything the pass protection looked better than the run blocking (the line as a whole).

Clemmings

Thank ypu. How has he done? Serviceable, so far?

[Wild Bill]

Waynes with growing pains.

TEs will be a focus with Teddy.

We'll go as far as our offensive line will take us.

Exum vs. Blanton seems to be a battle to watch.

MORE concerned about O line {duh}
If we end up having 3 good safeties yessssss
Wallace absent not concerned yet but would like to see 1 strong hook up per preseason game
overall depth on defense is encouraging
All of our observations verrryyyy early
