Vikings may be banking on a better conditioned Rashod Hill in 2018
Vikings may be banking on a better conditioned Rashod Hill in 2018By cutting out late-night supermarket trips and filling dinners at his favorite restaurant, Rashod Hill dropped weight in an effort to be ready for the long haul with the Vikings.If spring practices are any indication, the Vikings are banking on Rashod Hill’s development in 2018.
Hill, the third-year undrafted tackle out of Southern Miss, says he did his part off the football field this offseason. By cutting out late-night trips to Cub and filling dinners at the downtown Capital Grille, Hill dropped 12 pounds in an effort to be ready for the long haul with the Vikings. He says he’s down to 313 pounds after playing at 325 last season.
“That’s a good thing,” Hill said last month during the Vikings’ minicamp to close the spring.
After Hill took nearly every rep as the starting right tackle during the spring, it’s possible he ends up there again Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Center Pat Elflein’s expected return for training camp this month gives the Vikings flexibility, freeing up Nick Easton to move back to guard and perhaps Mike Remmers back to right tackle. But whether Hill is the starter or the swing tackle (where he began last season), the Vikings want to make sure he’s ready to contribute immediately...

Following both his late-season run at guard and his offseason work at the position, Remmers told the Star Tribune that he finds he is more comfortable playing guard.
"I like the position a lot," Remmers said in a report by Ben Goessling of the Tribune. "(The Vikings' playoff games) helped build my confidence.

i read that as he wasnt comfortable playing G last year when he was called upon, but with the work there he is more comfortable at the spot now. not that he is more comfortable at G than at T, but I can see how it could be read either way.
Well this was the headline:Mike Remmers says he is more comfortable on inside of O-Line
;) B)
i can still read that 2 ways. :p
Well I reread that & I see your point, see your point! B)
its like deja vu all over again.

I don't read that as he "prefers" guard position. He likes it but he isn't comparing it to his preference or not of playing guard vs tackle.
its like deja vu all over again.I feel as though I've heard that word before.
