Jeremiah Poutasi

This is really one pathetic player. Third game I've seen where he has to be benched because he "can't keep up" with his blocking assignments. From his NFL draft profile:

WEAKNESSES Power is limited by lack of flexibility that robs him of leverage at point of attack and against bull rush. Has a small "strike zone" and leaves his feet behind at contact, causing him to fall off of too many blocks. Needs to improve sustaining blocks and finishing. Drops head and head-butts down blocks and run stunts. Hand placement needs work. Uses half-hearted "reach" rather than authoritative punch to subdue determined rushers. Sets soft, shallow edge in pass protection that allows worker bees and edge speed an entry over the top. Feet get stuck and he struggles to redirect against inside moves.
DRAFT PROJECTION Round 5
NFL COMPARISON Mike McGlynn
BOTTOM LINE Improving tackle prospect with athletic limitations that will hamper his ability to consistently protect the passer as a tackle in the NFL.


A fifth round waste of space to protect our franchise QB. We wasted a third round pick on him? T.J. Clemmings was there for the taking but once again, the front office didn't want to chance a 1st round legit tackle like Clemmings who only fell because he had a bad Senior Bowl. But they somehow felt right with a pudgy 3rd round junior guard from Utah who they were going to convert to a tackle!

Exactly. Clemmings is a solid starter in Minnesota who isn't being benched because he can't do his job.
