Shatley Visiting: Oh the jokes that could ensue...
Vikings hosting former Jaguars lineman Tyler Shatley on visitAfter signing Josh Kline to a three-year deal on Wednesday, the Vikings are back on the hunt for affordable offensive linemen.The team is hosting former Jaguars lineman Tyler Shatley on a free-agent visit on Friday, a NFL source confirmed. Shatley, an undrafted free agent in 2014, started seven games for the Jaguars at center last season, and made 15 starts over the past three seasons at center and guard. He allowed three sacks and six hurries in 311 pass-blocking snaps last season, according to Pro Football Focus.
Shatley started at center for the Jaguars in 2016 against the Vikings, playing 66 snaps in the game, but finished the season at left guard. Were the Vikings to sign him, he’d seem likely to compete for a job at guard, while giving the team depth at center in case of an injury to Pat Elflein.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Yeah...wow...I can just imagine the comments for any failed block...!
"Tyler definitely took a big Shatley on that play".

With the third worst cap situation, all the Vikings could do was approach free agency in a Shatley manner...
Well it looks like the Vikings did NOT "Shat" and get off the pot because his visit is over without a deal.
... why didnt anyone think of all 5 lineman shitting their pants as a blocking strategy last season? I promise it would have given Kirk more time back there...
Oh what a lost opportunity for laughter...Coulda been epic.
We were just getting warmed-up here.

Wait, this Shat may not be over... B)
It's Saturday and we're still squeezing this one out. Feeling strained from the wait. Really need this to drop a.s.a.p... If it's a green issue, add some fiber...
what do you want from us PF?! :p
well that's kind of an awkward back up situation---or given the state of the oline maybe not

@"Zanary" said:Viking fans make me laugh. So many have convinced themselves they can't have anything nice.@"BlackMagic7" said: Our 2019 OLine... The Porcelain People Eaters Can we wait for the actual lineup, first?But let's just say for shits and giggles that we had a pick in the 1st round this year. And let's just say we had no other picks in the draft. And let's just say that we're faced with a worst case scenario and all of the top linemen we've been talking about are gone. Taylor, Williams, Bradbury, Ford, Dillard, Risner--all gone. Extremely unlikely but what the poop. So we end up taking a guy who really has no business going at 18. That could be any number of players, but the next guy on the list is probably Chris Lindstrom.
So the Vikings woe-is-us starting lineup is Reiff - Lindstrom - Elflein - Kline - O'Neill...all coached by Rick Dennison and coordinated by ZBS guru Gary Kubiak. Compton and Remmers are now Lindstrom and Kline. Depth is now Collins, Hill and Isidora.
The horror. If we could only have a few other picks.

Jokes don't get any clearer dude?

Pretty lame joke, as we don't even have the "Shat" yet......but the 2018 bunch shat the bed repeatedly, which works....
