10 Players to Watch in Thursday’s Preseason Game
Isaac Asiata, Offensive Guard
Isaac Asiata, fifth round pick from the University of Utah in the 2017 draft, has had his hands full this offseason verses this strong defensive line. With Ted Larsen going down with a bicep injury for a few weeks, someone on the offensive line has to step up in his absence.
Isaac is a very strong guard who always plays with heart and determination. In practice he has not been good enough to move up the depth chart. With a good performance in this game, he can move up the depth chart and prove why he deserves to be in the starting line up.
In this game verses the Falcons, Isaac will be allowed to bully defensive tackles, and use his strength to open holes for running backs and keep his quarterbacks clean. It will be interesting to see if he can rise up to the challenge.
