Will this support a mounted TV?

Looking to mount a ~70 pound TV on a ~30 pound VESA mount in my garage. The two boards shown in the attached picture are the only ones close enough to fit the mounting plate, but I don't think I'd trust them with the weight. If I put two vertical 2x8s as indicated over the girt and support, would that be secure? Girts and supports are all 2x6. submitted by /u/SadBrontosaurus [link] [comments]
