MNSportsMan 5 Posted August 1, 2011 I've heard this guys name, but don't know a lot about him. Is he like a more experienced, polished Phil Loadholt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted August 1, 2011 I think he could make a push to start at guard. If he doesn't start at guard he'll be a plug and play guy for both tackle positions. He's more athletic then Phil, but he gets overpowered by bigger players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNSportsMan 5 Posted August 1, 2011 Is he better as a tackle or a guard? If he's better as a tackle, I could see the Vikings moving Loadholt or McKinnie inside because they screw up a lot in pass protection during outside rushes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he's better as a tackle, I could see the Vikings moving Loadholt or McKinnie inside because they screw up a lot in pass protection during outside rushes. idk, everything I'm reading is saying he won't beat out McKinnie for the starting LT spot. But he could be very useful on other positions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
