Maybe we can get Ellison back wih an apology from his father. :devil: #giantssuck

Elflein is the linchpin... When we start moving what I consider the weakest link on our line to fill in at a position that he's much worse at, the whole line takes a giant step back. Remmers in my mind is about the same level if not a half step behind Hill at this point, and Hill will hold his own for a game or so at LT if needed, so not overly concerned there.

Either way I'd imagine they'll look at TE's in FA and the draft. The combination of Rudy/Morgan works well, but they could use another receiving option. You could call it a luxury for the time being, but Rudy only has two years left on his current deal.

What is Elfien's nick?   I'm hoping to get him back to set the line and bring the mauling line mentality and pull option'

If you really want to understand the scope of how much the staff is adjusting to injuries.  Would Randle have been the clear winner of whom to bring forward to this year if Floyd's surgery hadn't been screwed up?
