Kind of like R Johnson and Watkins. If one works/would of worked out your lucky but don't count on it. You can only give those guys so many shots before you give up. No matter how much potential in Jenkins case. Wilson is just as good of blocker if not better than Hemingway at WR. They got the Harrison kid to stash on the PS as a big possession WR to groom. Plus Kelces health (knock on wood) and Harris's growth they got height options. They're damn lucky Hammond has continued to grow. Still pretty embarrassing he's going to start the opener.

McMillan at S looked awful. Like he spent more time getting his dreads out of his view than anything. On the other hand Bronson has been a nice surprise but he's still got a ways to go

[Hammock Parties]

Haha.

See ya Fulton.

I think McGlynn will replace the left side and Fulton will still be on the right.

[Mr. Laz]

I think linkenbach is about to hit the highway.

Sorry but Jenkins is the worst.

Hemmingway at least tries, he's just a moron. It's not his fault God blessed him with a sub-40 football IQ.

Jenkins has all-world talent and just isn't willing to put in the work. He needs to be publicly flogged.

Did anyone ever post the PFF stats for the o-line from the Vikings game? I looked but couldn't find them.

I bet McGlynn and Linkenbach end up starting with Harris at RT all season.

The line may improve to average, apart from Fisher shitting on a play once a series.

Those guys still aren't very good so homers will still blame the OL for everything, though.

This is what the first result was: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blo...eseason-week-3

Perhaps the last tune-up for many of the starters before the regular season, it was a strong showing for the Minnesota Vikings against the Kansas City Chiefs. Their defensive front continued their solid preseason by controlling the action, while the Chiefs’ leave the game with the same unwanted concerns about their offensive line. Perhaps more alarming, the usual sound decision-making of quarterback Alex Smith was compromised by two red-zone interceptions, a sight that has to concern the Chiefs who rely heavily on his playing mistake-free football.

Minnesota’s quarterback competition continued as Matt Cassel (0.2) reached into his bag of inconsistent tricks (a beautiful touchdown pass combined with questionable throws into coverage) while rookie Teddy Bridgewater did nothing to quell the excitement of his strong Week 2 outing as he posted a +0.7 on just 10 drop-backs.

Here’s a look at the rest of the key performances from this Week 3 preseason battle.

Minnesota Vikings – Performances of Note

Matt Kalil, LT, -2.2

Breakdown: Kalil surrendered five pressures (1 sack, 1 hit, 3 hurries), four of which came at the hands of outside linebacker Tamba Hali. He added few solid blocks in the run game (+1.2), but the -3.6 pass blocking grade is not encouraging given the step back he took a year ago.

Signature Stat: Kalil has surrendered five or more pressures in a game only four times in his career, but he gave up five on only 23 attempts against the Chiefs.

Sharrif Floyd, DT, +2.2

Breakdown: For the second straight game, Floyd posted a positive grade as a pass rusher (+1.9) as he notched two hurries on his 21 rushes. A disruptive 3-technique is crucial for the success of the Vikings’ defense and Floyd’s development in his second season will go a long way toward determining their success. Moving blockers in the running game and providing pressure was a good sign.

Signature Play: With 3:09 to go in the second quarter, Floyd got outside left guard Jeff Linkenbach to force a quick throw from quarterback Alex Smith.

Anthony Barr, OLB, -1.1

Breakdown: It still seems a curious decision that Barr has played so much in coverage this preseason while rushing the passer as a secondary role, but perhaps the coverage snaps are a necessary evil given his transition from edge rusher to more of a hybrid, SAM linebacker role. The game encapsulated some of Barr’s potential strengths and weaknesses as he was stout in the running game (+1.2) and struggled at times in the passing game (-2.1).

Signature Stat: Barr rushed the passer only 10 times compared to 19 snaps spent in coverage. That’s now 14 pass rush snaps and 50 coverage snaps through three preseason games.

Kansas City Chiefs – Performances of Note

Starting Offensive Line, -8.6

Breakdown: Kansas City’s biggest concern remains one after a disastrous performance by the starting offensive line. QB Alex Smith was constantly moved off his spot in the pocket just as he hit the top of his drop, never a good sign up front. All five starters graded negatively as Smith was pressured on 12 of his 30 drop-backs, but it was the speed at which he faced pressure that killed a number of passing plays before they even started.

Signature Play: With 1:51 to go in the second quarter, sixth-round rookie guard Zach Fulton allowed DE Brian Robison to get around him right off the snap forcing Smith to drift right into the waiting arms of DT Tom Johnson coming off the other edge for the sack.

Alex Smith, QB, -3.5

Breakdown: Even though the pressure was coming fast and furious, Smith’s worst plays came when he was finally given time to throw, including his two poor decisions in the red zone. An inaccurate post route was picked off by CB Captain Munnerlyn late in the first quarter, then Smith allowed LB Chad Greenway to undercut a slant route early in the second quarter.

Signature Stat: Smith graded at +0.5 on his 12 drop-backs under pressure, including three sacks, but he posted a -3.5 grade on 18 drop-backs in a clean pocket.

Ron Parker, CB, +3.3

Breakdown: Parker was only targeted twice, but he made the most of them as he deflected one and intercepted the other. He broke nicely on Cassel’s out route to nearly pick up the interception and then showed excellent ball skills as he stayed on top of the post route intended for WR Jerome Simpson, tracked Cassel’s overthrow, and hauled in the interception at the 2:09 mark of the second quarter.

Signature Play: Parker graded at -3.3 in coverage in Week 1 but offset with a +3.3 mark against the Vikings.

PFF Game Ball

Chiefs OLB Tamba Hali was a dominant presence off the edge, picking up a sack, hit and two hurries on just 12 rushes to finish at +3.4 overall.

Thanks. I know some people here subscribe and can get the individual scores. I was mostly curious about Jeff Allen. I've thought since day one that he was out of position at G and was wondering if there was any hope for him at RT (or as the swing tackle).

None of the o-line looked good but I am not enough of an o-line guru to judge the individual players.

[The Franchise]

Definitely think he steps in at LG. I'd still like to see Incognito brought in.

Fisher - McGlynn - Hudson - Incognito - Allen
