Oli Udoh
DeForest Buckner is arguably the best 3T in the NFL besides Aaron Donald, so it was really encouraging to see the #Vikings iOL locking him up on three third downs last night.

Vikings might have top half guards this year. Really starting to worry about Hill though. Really need Darrisaw to get healthy.

I dont know how he did the rest of the game?
Agreed, we need a healthy and effective Darrisaw in there. Hill is at his best as swing and off-the-bench.
Isnt it awesome that weve got a guy named Oli starting.

No one over him and he looks back inside to Bradbury and blows his guy the fuck up lol Our guards got some nasty. Zim is smiling...

Maybe it's just me but it seems like the Vikings o-linemen are lining up farther behind the center now. Like a good yard and a half. Just re-watched the starting three IOLs. Except for one play where Bradbury was knocked back on a run play, they were damn near flawless.
Congrats to Udoh.
All the predictions were for Davis, no one saw this coming.
@"MaroonBells" said: https://twitter.com/BrandonThornNFL/status/1429538445987393542?s=20Like seeing our guards putting DTs on the ground.
Would be great if Udoh is an above average Guard. Bradbury would benefit the most. Cleveland is trending above average from all reports so maybe our interior OL can get towards that average/slightly above range...as a unit! Now, with the Darrisaw no show, we have an issue at LT. Reiff was coming off probably his best 2 year stretch at LT so we now have to hope Hill can play even average.
Lastly, we have a new OC, WR and OL coaches so hopefully we can use the last preseason game to show something...anything...please
One writer said that Davis came in overweight, haven’t heard much about that, however that could be why he resides in Zimmer’s dog house…
@"Kentis" said: One writer said that Davis came in overweight, haven’t heard much about that, however that could be why he resides in Zimmer’s dog house…Actually, that makes some sense. You could sense a sort of get-your-fat-ass-in-shape kind of retribution in putting Davis at the very bottom of that first depth chart. I mean he was below Hinton and Cabral. If he could have, Zimmer probably would listed him under the fat kid who wheels out the Gatorade.

Dare I say....I think we're going to like our guards this year.
