i am giddy with the line play this year. the least busy person in the org is prolly the person in charge of laundering QB jerseys

I thought he played pretty well at LT, too. Do we need to keep him at only one spot? Only if we intend on making him a long-term starter. Then again, with Remmer's age... maybe the spot will be Hill's next year.
I wouldnt be surprised to see Remmers kicked inside to RG next year if Berger retires, but Hills L/R flexibility is great if nothing else. the kid is earning a nice pay raise in his future.
I kind of like that idea of moving Remmers to RG. Hill, Remmers, Elflein, Easton and Reiff. Not a bad line-up.
I am betting that Isidora will be in the starting 5 by next year. or maybe Sirles... B)
haha.

On Sunday, Kerrigan was a ghost against backup tackle Rashod Hill. According to Pro Football Focus tracking stats, Hill allowed zero quarterback pressures.
I can't like this enough.
Never in a million years did I think the line would have the success that they've had so far this season. (knocks on wood)
Easton goes down and Sirles steps in and we keep going. Sirles goes down and a rookie, Isidora, steps in and we keep going. Reiff misses some time and Hill steps in and we keep going. Then Hill moves to the right side for Remmers and we keep going. That's huge.
Also, Bradford goes down and Case steps in. And Cook goes down and Murray and Jet step in. Injuries to key positions have not stopped this team.
By contrast, Rodgers goes down and the Packers immediately fold. Too bad.
It's nice to have a decent line with good backups. Thinking back on last year it was a nightmare. We still lost a QB and running back this year. But we're getting by.

Remmers has only played Tackle in college and the Pro's from what I can tell so not sure about a move to Guard.
Remmers is signed long term, yes we have an out after next season, but he is currently signed to a 5 year contract and is 28 years old.
Then you have the 25 year old Hill who has looked solid at both Tackle positions and he is signed through next season for about $600,000..what a deal.
We look to have 3 starting above average Tackles right now, who knew when we had zero last year!
But these decisions are a year and a half away and who knows what can happen.
What I can say with decent certainty is that none of the guys who play Tackle well are ever going to want to move to Guard for monetary and contractual reasons. Tackles are becoming as hard to find as QB's. Saying that, maybe Remmers/Hill will be great trade bait next year with the non traded being our starter??? Might be something we use on draft day to move up for a QB. Hill would be super attractive as trade bait with a 600K 1 year contract.
Anyway, I see the Sirles, Isodora, free agent, draft pick as the replacement for Berger at Guard not a move of a Tackle - IMO
Berger previously said this was his last year (I think). Either way, he's a FA after the season.
Is Sirles a FA in '18? If so, it might not make sense to re-sign him.
You always want your top 5 on the field. So maybe for 2018 it's more like Hill at OT vs. Isodora at OG? Either way, Remmers is one of your best 5 and he plays.

why wouldnt you resign Sirles? He was primary back up at both Guard spots and can kick out to T if need be as well. Thats pretty good versatility IMO.
