Rivera "starters to play A LOT more in preseason games"

I believe JC will get the 1st quarter, Cam the 2nd and 3rd, and Anderson the 4th. Either that or Cam all 2nd half and Anderson 2nd Quarter. Anderson against the Giants 3rd string could be mean.

Rivera ain't gonna put Cam out there w/ that caliber OL in the 3rd and 4th quarters IMO.

True but if they are serius about Cam being a week 1 starter then he will play 2nd quarter and start the 3rd quarter to get use to half time adjustments. I may have over thought this. :idea:

I doubt the following guys see a ton of time: Stewart, Williams, Gross, Kalil, Beason, Davis, C. Johnson, Olsen, or Shockey. I think Rivera knows what he has in each of those guys.

I fully expect the other "starters" to play more minutes, because we really have so many positions up for air as it is. Think about it.

Both DT positions are still up for grabs between 3 (Fua, Irving, McClain)

The other DE position is still up for grabs between 2 or 3 guys (Hardy*injured*, Brown, Norwood)

The receiver depth chart is anyones guess after Smith

The Secondary with an ailing gamble and munnerlyn (who knows who plays here)

The other guard position (Bernadeau and Schwartz)

Not to mention the biggest question of all under center

Him saying starters will get more playing time isn't really earth shattering news in my opinion.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
