Apparently something is up with the OT position that we arent aware of.  2 date we have been thinking that we have pretty decent OT depth behind CD and Oneil,  well apparently somebody upstairs doesnt think so... or we have more injury issues than we are aware of.

lets give a Vikefans welcome to Christian DiLauro and Jarrid Williams,  your newest Vikings.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Probably need OTs for the 3rd string offensive line...

With O'Neill not practicing, this is likely the issue.

If there was an issue with the starters, Risner would have been signed.

why would they sign an OG to cover for a lack of OT depth?  you certainly werent looking at moving Cleveland back to OT were you?

That was a discussion I saw but not sure moving Cleveland back to OT is a good move.

Dunno.  Why would you sign two no name tackles because there is an issue on the starting line?

I thought I read that Risner could play about any position.  Or maybe him at 2nd string OG pushes someone else down to 3rd string OT.

This move might be about Udoh, that's my guess.

I've watched Brandel play since 2010.  If his play has taken a step back ,it'd be a first.

I see elsewhere that the team released an OT earlier in the week,  so 1 of these is likely in response to that move for camp bodies.
