Going into this preseason, all eyes have been on the trenches. Obviously, there are hopes for improvement on both sides. A major focus was placed on the o-line in the draft, and veterans Danielle Hunter, Michael Pierce, and Dalvin Tomlinson will be week one starters on defense.
Predictably, the offensive line came away with some question marks after the preseason opener. It was difficult to discern anything about the defensive line, though, as all three of the aforementioned starters sat out. The biggest question still remains though: who will be the DE starter opposite of Hunter?
The RDE Battle
This position battle may be decided sooner than expected if Everson Griffen does in fact sign with the Vikings.
