It looks like they're going to give Big V a chance and see what he can do for us. A good team should be able to plug and play, so we will see how he does against the win-less 9ers next week.
Without a dependable/good LT the offense stagnates and generally your QB is either running for his life or gets happy feet because he knows the DE is coming toward his blind side.
The Vikes signed LT Reilly Reiff as a FA this off-season and drafted a Center out of Ohio State and suddenly our line is protecting the QB and opening holes for RB’s.
It’s been a pleasure to watch compared to the last couple of seasons.
I hope for Eagle fans the loss of your pro-Bowl LT doesn’t affect the team too much.
